32. Sudden mutation
"Alright." Phyllis clapped her hands and said to the two of us, "Come and explain to your boss what you are capable of." ”
Xiao Nan and I looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Nan raised his hand and replied, "I can cook...... Does it count? ”
Phyllis: "Not really. ”
Xiao Nan thought seriously for a while, and said tentatively: "What about selling cute?" ”
Phyllis, Me: "......"
Phyllis looked at the two of us for a moment, frowned, and wondered, "You two...... It doesn't look like a person who knows any martial arts, is it a magician? But you don't seem to have the affinity of a magical elf......"
I shook my head and said, "We don't know magic. ”
"What about martial arts?"
I spread my hands and said, "You may not believe it, I have grown so big, I have never fought or killed anyone, and I have not even killed a chicken." ”
Phyllis wondered, "What is a chicken?" ”
Me: "......"
I forgot about it, the chickens of this world...... I'm afraid she's a little taller than Tiris.
After a moment of silence, Phyllis asked, "In other words, you don't know magic or any martial arts, do you?" ”
I nodded.
Phyllis said, "Then how did you two kill an adult white phosphorus spider with your bare hands?" ”
I said, "Burned." ”
"Burned?" The look of doubt in Phyllis's eyes grew thicker.
Xiao Nan hurriedly added: "To be precise, that big spider was too stupid and burned himself to death." ”
Phyllis frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Tell me more about what happened. ”
So I reluctantly told Phyllis what had happened in the forest, including what had happened to the fluttering moth.
"In other words......" Phyllis frowned, "you two count...... Crooked? ”
"Hmm." I nodded and said, "Pretty much." ”
I saw Phyllis staring blankly at the two of us for a long time, and finally lay on the table in pain and pulled her hair, and kept whispering words like 'big loss'.
Alas...... Worthy of a businessman.
After a long while, Phyllis suddenly raised her head, stared at the two of us in confusion, and asked weakly, "In other words, you two don't know anything?" ”
I nodded helplessly: "If you talk about fighting...... Pretty much, we really don't know anything. ”
Phyllis suddenly had a look of despair on her face.
"That's right." I asked, "I've always wondered how Tilis owes you so much money?" ”
Phyllis said weakly: "She doesn't owe me, but she owes us the Chamber of Commerce." My father had saved her life, and in return she had made a deal with my father for fifty years, in which she promised my father a monthly gift of a portion of the leather and blood of an adult tree dragon to our chamber of commerce. ”
"Up to now, there are still ten years left in the agreement, and there is another agreement in the agreement, that is, if the materials are insufficient, you can consider using cash to offset the account, and the specific situation is probably only known to the two of them, I only know approximately. In short, I was cheated, and I was cheated by the two of you. ”
Phyllis said with a headache, "How should I explain it to my father, a thousand gold coins...... In exchange for the two of you who can't do anything. ”
I wondered, "Didn't we sell you a tree dragon?" ”
Phyllis said helplessly: "This is different, right?" Magic materials are profiteering, Tilis owes us materials, if it is operated properly, our Chamber of Commerce can net more than 8,000 gold coins, but your tree dragon can only earn more than 1,000 gold coins if it is operated properly, can this be compared? ”
After a pause, Phyllis wondered: "Speaking of which, you two don't look like some princes and nobles, but you are thin and thin like this, and you haven't learned magic yet, what did you do before?" ”
"Hmm...... We are students. ”
Phyllis said suspiciously, "Student? ”
"Hmm......" I replied hesitantly, "I guess it's just studying mathematics, physics and chemistry, and my grades are not bad, is it useful?" ”
Seeing that Phyllis still had a puzzled look, I explained, "It's mathematics, physics, chemistry, and some other subjects, huh...... For example, physics, there are parabolas, pulley sets, and so on...... You know that, right? ”
"Wait a minute...... Phyllis wondered, "parabola?" You mean the trajectory calculation of the trajectory of the trajectory and the like, right? And the results are not bad? ”
I scratched my head in embarrassment and smiled, "Almost, does it work?" ”
Hearing this, I saw that the gloomy look on Phyllis's face was suddenly swept away, and she hurriedly stood up and said excitedly: "You two wait a minute." ”
With that, she turned and walked behind the bar.
Xiao Nan tugged at the corner of my clothes and wondered, "What's wrong with her?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said I didn't know. How do I know what's wrong with her? Could it be that our knowledge of physics can come in handy?
Phyllis rummaged through the back of the bar for a while, then walked out with a thick book.
"Come and see, do you understand this book?"
I took the book suspiciously and watched it with Xiao Nan.
When I looked closely, there were a few big words written on the cover of the book: Introduction to Magical Ballistics.
Xiao Nan and I looked at each other, this book ...... What the hell?
The two of us simply began to flip through it, but only skimmed through it roughly, and then closed the book.
After a moment of silence, I turned my head and asked Xiao Nan, "Do you think the content of this book is a little familiar......
Xiao Nan nodded: "You think so too?" How do I feel that this book is a bit like ...... Physics Textbook ...... for Junior High School"
Phyllis asked expectantly, "How's it going?" Do you understand? ”
I looked at the book with mixed emotions and said, "I can understand it, and I think I can recite it with my eyes closed." ”
I saw Phyllis excitedly said: "That's great, in this way, I will take you two to the National Academy of Magic to learn magic, as long as our chamber of commerce can have two more magicians, not to mention being cheated for a thousand gold coins, even if it is worth two thousand!" ”
"Wait a minute......" I hurriedly waved my hand to interrupt Phyllis's words, confused, "You mean, we can learn magic?" ”
Phyllis patted her chest and said, "Of course, you must know that the most difficult subject of magic is magic ballistics, you can all memorize it, can you learn the rest?" But...... Are you sure you're not lying? Do you really understand? ”
I spread my hands and said, "If you don't believe me, you can test us with questions." ”
Just as my voice fell, and Phyllis didn't have time to respond, at this time, there was a loud bang from the closed door of the Chamber of Commerce, and the three of us were frightened by this, and subconsciously turned our heads and looked at the door.
The door was pushed open, and it was none other than Niu Kelian, who was supposed to be on the way to Shacheng to buy goods.
At this time, Niu Kelian looked panicked, kept looking into the house, and turned his head to look out of the door, as if he was ...... There was something outside the door.
Phyllis was the first to react, and she asked Niu Kelian, "Uncle Niu, what's wrong?" Didn't you go to Sand City to buy goods? Came back so early? ”
Niu Kelian panted and held on to the door frame, didn't even take a breath, stomped his feet and said urgently:
"Oops, there's no time to explain, get in the car!"
