Chapter 34: The Trap of the Gods
After saying goodbye to Joshua, Sufena walked down the street alone.
"Just an experiment with a caravan made me make up my mind?"
Sufena laughed at herself, that couldn't be, if it was just like that, the second senior brother Jeris didn't know, the senior brother Dosiro should be able to do it.
What finally made her mind was Joshua's faith and success in the face of the gods.
She wasn't sure, but she knew it wasn't that simple.
Josh seemed to be passive when he seemed to be opposed to the gods?
Not really.
When he entered the Aoba Forest, he had already thought of a calculation.
1. Knowing that he has the blessing of the druid, he deliberately uses disguise to show seemingly inadvertent clumsiness under the appearance of intelligence.
Such a contrast will easily win the favor of people, even the gods.
It feels similar to a person who often does bad things in the eyes of others, and suddenly does a good thing, making people feel that he is not actually bad.
Second, when talking to Ashiyeh, the feeling of confidence and the feeling of knowing everything evokes Ashiyeh's memory of the god of deception.
Causing him to create an overlap between the figures of Joshua and the God of Deception.
The relationship between Ashiye and the god of deception is very friendly, and such a relationship can basically be said to be "bad friends".
After a long time together, Ashiye will definitely subtly subtly dispel the evil taste, deception, or trickery of the god of deception.
Having been with the god of deception for a long time, Josius did not believe that Ashiye had not been tricked.
Joshua was a believer in the God of Deception and bore the mark of a fool.
Whether Ashiyah was substituting him as a god of deception, or for the sake of tricking his friends into trusting believers, he should have made it a little difficult for Joshua.
3. Joshua is actually a qualified candidate in Ashiye's mind, and Ashiye naturally can't let it go, just killing many birds with one stone in his consideration.
The test given to Joshua proved both Joshur's ability and his ability to prove that Josh was indeed a possible man.
Fourth, weakness is sometimes more conducive to the success of negotiations than being in an advantageous position.
Although Yoshu does not have it on the surface, the strength of the text is not very strong, which is self-knowledge of his own weakness and a hint.
And Ashiyeh, a strong man, is likely to sum up the above considerations and put forward a "test of the strong against the weak".
It is a sense of superiority of the strong in the face of the weak, just as some superiors like to prove their higher authority by giving their subordinates problems to hone.
And if Joshu can get to this point, he will almost be able to succeed in his operation, as long as he completes the test!
In fact, the strong meet their own psychological needs and will not lose their words to the weak.
This not only comes from the pride of the strong, but also from the feeling that the matter itself is not worth mentioning, and it is far from enough for them to regret it.
This was Joshua's trap for Ashiyah, and he succeeded.
His deception to Ashiye is the deception of the probable, because he is not a man from the continent at all, he is a traverser!
However, this time, it can't be said that Joxiu played Ashiye around, it can only be said that each takes what he needs, and each other is a tie.
Another hidden benefit of succeeding as a weak person is that it can win the greater favor of Ashiye!
The wise will only squeeze the benefits for themselves as much as possible, while the truly wise will spill over the needs in exchange for more value in the future.
Sufena didn't figure it all out, she guessed a little, and what she admired more was Joshua's confidence in facing the gods.
Although it is said that on the mainland, faith is declining, but ordinary people are still in awe of the gods.
There are a lot of people who are reckless, but she has never seen someone like Joxiu.
It's just that she doesn't know that in the world before Joshua crossed over, in fact, basically everyone was atheist.
Sufena didn't ask these words, and Joxiu didn't bother to explain them.
He is not a person who likes to show off his abilities everywhere, he prefers to work quietly and hard.
Some people say it but don't do it, some people do it but don't say it, and he is more in line with the latter.
Red Sand City is a little far from the Aoba Forest, and I was lucky enough to find a passing caravan, and with the status of a scholar and language arts, I was able to catch a ride smoothly.
"Mobik......"
Josius remembered his information—
Mobik, a middle-aged and elderly dwarf, is a master of blacksmithing!
"It depends, he's still a puppet master."
Otherwise, Lekya wouldn't have let him come here to find Mobick.
"It's almost time to forge a fraudster's weapon."
Thinking of this, Yoxiu had a bit of a headache, and the weapons in his previous life were forged for him by his friends.
I wonder if Mobik can understand his design ideas, or approve of his ideas?
The sound of striking iron sounded, and Joxiu took a look, and the one in front of him was the dwarven iron shop.
The name is popular and popular, and it is really not a dwarf style.
"A dwarven fool......"
When Joxiu thought about it, he thought it was strange, a race known for its honest speech, that someone would come to do something deceitful.
"What, you said I forged weapons in general!? If you love to buy, you can buy it, and if you don't buy it, you can! ”
The three adventurer youths were kicked out of the shop, and one angrily cursed a few words, but was stopped by the other two, who complained in turn.
"I've told you everything, pay attention to your words!"
"Isn't it normal to bargain like this? I'm just trying to get a lower price. ”
The man said aggrievedly, leaving the two of them speechless.
It is well known that dwarves generally sell things at fair prices.
Moreover, it is better to say these euphemistic words in front of the dwarves who have always been upright, than to directly say that they want to be cheaper.
Don't you know that dwarves don't do this at all?
Joxiu also thought it was ridiculous, and walked into the store to take a look, a place of several hundred square meters, there were rows of weapons, knives, guns, heavy hammers, everything.
Inside, several young dwarves were trading weapons with customers who came in and out.
Joshua grabbed a dwarf who had just finished greeting the guests and said, "Hello dear sir, can you help me send a message to Lord Mobick?" ”
The dwarf hesitated when he heard Jossius's words, but when Joshua seemed to casually take the scholar's badge and pull out a bottle of good wine.
The poor dwarf fell, and his saliva swallowed sounded, "People say that scholars are as good as dwarves. ”
So the dwarf, persuaded himself by this somewhat strange reason, snatched the bottle of wine and hurried away.
"Bastard, who told you to call me? I confiscated this bottle of wine! ”
After a while, in the corridor inside, a bearded dwarf with a thick voice and a gray dwarf walked out with the dwarf just now.
The latter looked aggrieved and annoyed at the moment.
"Is that him?"
"Huh?"
When Mobick saw Jossi, there was a sense between the marks of the fool, and he immediately knew Joshou's intentions.
scolded dissatisfiedly: "It turned out to be you little bastards, okay, you just stay here for a while, and wait until I finish work!" ”
Joxiu was stunned for a moment, nodded, and found a place to sit down under the beckoning of the other young dwarves, only to wait until the shop was almost closed.
"Dwarves are straight-tempered!"
Josius was helpless, apparently Mobick was very unhappy with the new Fool disturbing him, and the result of this unhappiness was to let him wait for a long time.
Thankfully, Mobick walked out before the store closed, and he seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Come with me, little cub."
After speaking, he left without looking back, and Joxiu hurriedly followed.
ps: I looked at my pen name, and suddenly my brain twitched and thought about it on a cloudy day, go up to the rooftop to blow the wind, that refreshing feeling should be good, but now it's always raining here, and I guess I'll be drenched......
I remembered going out to eat at night, and I remembered that I didn't bring any money when I stepped into the restaurant, because I had been thinking about the copy, and I fainted, so I hurried back to get the money, and then just in case I took the umbrella
As a result, it was raining on the way back from dinner, and there happened to be an umbrella.
But if you don't go back halfway, it should rain just when you get home.
So I thought, if we forget to bring money, is it a blessing to lose our horses?!
Finally, thank you for the reward =, =
