329. Sudden clues
According to the common sense that the Four Heavenly Kings have always had five, after the four Hokuriku people finished speaking, they all turned their eyes to an old man sitting in the middle, he looked about 60 or 70 years old, but he was in good spirits, his body bones were even tougher, and the muscles exposed from the half-draped robe were not lost to the young man at all.
But if you want to say that the biggest characteristic of this old man who vaguely has the center of the Hokuriku team should be the big bald head that can provide ample lighting in the dark night, right? With his muscles and the robe unique to Hokuriku, he looks like a muscular demon monk.
"Master, I wonder what you think of this hope?" The muscular man with bare arms among the four asked.
"The pearl of rice, the glow of fireflies, don't be afraid." The bald old man replied calmly, his words full of strong confidence, "It's those barbarians who are more noteworthy." ”
"What's so special about those barbarians?" The man dressed as a scholar hurriedly asked.
"When I was a young novice, I followed my master into the wasteland to do penance, and met an old shaman on the grassland, who was an old acquaintance of the master, and they had no intention of mentioning these barbarians in their chat." A look of retrospection appeared on the bald old man's face, as if he had returned to when he was young.
"The old shaman said that their power could make the earth tremble, their spears could tear the sky, their roar could change direction for the winds, and when they charged, they turned the heavens and the earth upside down, and they called themselves gods and warriors, the most beloved children of the mountains."
After listening to the old man's words, the short man among the four showed a look like listening to a mythical story, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "This is inevitably too exaggerated, the barbarians on the grassland are short-sighted and have never seen real warriors, so it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings, but the master actually believes it."
Although his voice was clear, the old man's ears were very sharp, and he immediately looked at him and continued to say in a serious tone: "When I was a little novice, I had the same thoughts as you, until later."
"My master and I went into the mountains, where we witnessed a war unimaginable to mortals, dragons, dragons that covered the sky, and these arrogant overlords in the sky, it was the group of gods and warriors that I didn't know until that time, although the old shaman's description was a bit exaggerated, but it was indeed the impression left on me when I watched their figures, and it is still unforgettable."
"Fortunately, there were only three people on their trip, and this is not a game of competition." The old man finally said, "Now that they are mingling with that hope, it makes me think a little more highly of that armor." However, this kind of thing is still the evil law of the Nanlu people after all, and it is not the right path or the great way, and it always falls into place. ”
"Since the presiding master of Wugang Temple has said so, then let's keep an eye on these barbarians, but why are they running out of the city with those strange sheep? Stealing a farmer's bud? The cold-faced man who was the first of the four to report Bai Yi's movements said half-jokingly, but the joke was really cold, and no one present could laugh.
The bald old man closed his eyes slightly, entered a state of steady, and stopped talking, and the others also changed the topic one after another, and continued to discuss how to deal with the two biggest enemies they identified, the Vosa royal family and the church.
In short, the three forces that entered this time didn't take Bai Yi very seriously, let alone the church, they didn't even have the idea of spying on other people, but they just transferred more people from the Holy Samurai Order, and there were more archknights and archbishops, all under the pretext of helping the defense of the imperial city, and they didn't mind others saying that they looked ugly.
If someone dares to open a handicap for this, I'm afraid that Bai Yi's odds of winning the championship in the end will be unimaginably high, right? After all, this is a treasure hunt conference, not a martial arts conference.
With the help of scholars and engineers, he created a magic version of the jetpack, which is probably to hollow out a piece of mythril ingot the size of a school bag, write a floating circle inside, and stuff it with magic crystals that keep the circle running for a long time.
On the outside, a sensor-based control system is designed to look like sheepskin gloves, which allow people to control the direction and speed of flight through simple gestures, so that even barbarians who don't know anything about magic can use it at will.
With the help of the Void Walkers, the technical difficulty of this jetpack is not great, but the cost is quite high, mainly because the material of the sensing circle is very troublesome, resulting in the cost of a pair of about 800 gold coins, which is indeed too exaggerated, and it also dispels his idea of developing commercial value in the future.
At this cost, it won't take so much time for someone else to hire a mage to help them fly in a year, after all, the floating magic circle can be mastered at the intermediate level, and the simple magic that is very proficient at the advanced level is really not a technical threshold at all.
This time, he made six pairs in one go, and gave them as gifts to the barbarians.
After Bai Yi returned to the palace from the magic laboratory, the barbarians had already returned? The three guys looked bored, sitting on the grass, playing with the stones with their fingers, looking like a carpenter carving a wooden statue with a carving knife, and like a child playing with plasticine, and the three black stones had been roughly tossed out of human form by their empty hands.
It is also not known what the stones they picked up from there
After Bai Yi walked in, the three of them hurriedly handed over the stone in a treasure offering, and said one after another: "Brother Hope, come and see, which of the three of us is more like you?" ”
Was it carved after me? Bai Yi's heart warmed, and he hurriedly took the stone statue, picked it up and looked at it, and immediately felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.
The one that Huska pinched was fine, barely recognizable as a person, although it was probably the kind of polio and acquired deformity; On the other hand, Zaza and Chacha are even more flattering, one is like a demon god like Crusu, indescribable; The other looks more like an alien from outer space.
Is this your family's artistic cell? Or do I have this curious image of crooked melons and cracked dates in your minds? Bai Yi said helplessly, but in the face of the sincere eyes of the barbarians, he really couldn't bear to say the words of refusal, so he could only reluctantly put it away, and wisely did not evaluate who was better, but took out those flying backpacks from the storage bag and diverted the topic.
"Try it?" Bai also made an invitation that the three of them could not refuse.
In the sky, I remembered the ghost crying wolf howl of the barbarians, and when it was completely dark, and it was really difficult to see clearly, they landed unsatisfied. On the other hand, Bai Yi's side had just sent away the patrol team that had rushed over after hearing the noise, and others thought that some terrifying demonic beast had suddenly appeared here.
After stuffing them with things and teaching them how to maintain them in the future, Bai Yi finally advised: "The magic power filled here is enough to fly for five hundred hours, as long as you don't fly anytime and anywhere, it's enough for you to use for a year, if you can't fly in the future, just go find the blood of the white dragon and pour it in." ”
"Oh! It's just too simple. Huskar sighed, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Okay, my side is done, but what about yours? What's the catch? Bai Yi asked again.
The three barbarians' originally elated mood instantly fell, and their faces were full of unspeakable shame, three of them, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the leading Huskar cheekily said: "I'm sorry for you, Brother Hope, we didn't find anything You obviously gave us such a precious gift, but we"
This was to be expected, he, the next master of the Book of Surrender of the Ten Thousand Worlds, couldn't figure it out, let alone a few barbarians? Bai Yi's mood was very calm, and he replied: "Don't worry, my brother, you can't force such a thing as finding something." ”
"The sheep and goo took us out of the city, and finally came to a human village where there were many sweet buds, but we found no powerful treasures." Zaza also said embarrassedly.
"You're not going to steal other people's buds, are you?" Bai also asked with some concern.
"No, no, I traded it for a bracelet." Huska explained, shaking his right hand, and the string of tooth-like bracelets he was carrying there was missing one, "It's a good deal!" The bud rice is really delicious after baking! We were going to bring you some back, but we thought you wouldn't be able to eat, so we ended up picking up the stone and carving it into your shape and giving it to you. ”
Can this be called a good deal? If I'm not mistaken, their bracelets are all made of dragon teeth, and considering the price of dragon teeth in the material market, such a string of bracelets can buy a hundred carts of buds, right? Bai thought with some amusement, chatted with the barbarians casually for a while, and then drove them into the rooms that the maids had arranged temporarily, and settled the sheep in the special stables for precious horses.
After returning to his room, Bai Yi didn't have much thought for a while, but touched the three stone carvings again, and carefully felt the artistic aesthetics of the barbarian through the light, and wanted to laugh.
But just as he was about to laugh, he suddenly realized something, stood up at once, held the statue, and rushed into the room of the barbarian next door, shaking Huska who was snoring.
"Brother Hope? What's wrong? Huska opened his eyes in a daze and saw the statue in Bai Yi's hand, "Do you suddenly think that I carve more like you?" ”
