Chapter 173: The Strange Wind Rises Again
"I'll be in charge of this life core."
"Master Tang, this is the most difficult part, do you do it alone?" Master Guixuan never doubted that Tang Shidao had hidden something.
If he wants to keep it private, he won't take the technology out and share it.
Everyone has read the information.
It is already clear which part is difficult and which part is easy.
"Master Guigen, based on what I've studied, I feel like I'm the best at this part. So, I wanted to look into this part as well. "Tang Shidao didn't say anything about Nirvana's rebirth. Everyone could understand that everyone knew that this First Grandmaster had created a 'rebirth' type of charging magic weapon, and it was reasonable to be good at this part.
"Well, you're good at it, and you're making up for our shortcomings. Everyone worked hard to create this miracle of repairing the ancient golem in three months. Master Guixuan said vigorously.
The crowd responded with a loud shout, full of fighting spirit.
Tang Shidao sent the craftsmen away, and immediately entered the state of research. Although the known ancient golem materials have been transcribed, it is only to the extent that it has been 'translated'. Translation is not the same as understanding, understanding is not the same as learning, and learning is not the same as proficiency. If you can understand it, you can do it well, then there are no apprentices in the refining world, and everyone is an Iron Sect.
Strictly speaking.
It's not that these old-timers are not as skilled as themselves, it's because they don't know how to weave life, and they just take advantage of those who can translate.
Actual manufacturing, they may not be better than them.
It didn't take long.
The elder representative of the Supreme Light Hall came and sent a message related to the Void Rift: "Master Tang, these are the information about the Void Crack in the Light Spirit Continent, and the place where the Great Calamity Cloud Technique is most needed. We surveyed the cracks, both inside and out, and also listed the most urgent ones. We know you're not available, so we can make another schedule. ”
Tang Shidao looked at it and put it down.
Slowly handing the information back, he shook his head: "Elder, let's do it again." All the cracks use Stone Rain Cloud, which is definitely not appropriate, the Mana Shields all have different effects, how can it be possible to use the same kind of Cloud of Blood. I know you're thinking about me and don't want the Clouds effect to be exposed too much. Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, I'm not going to use a big spell as a life-saving hole card.
The elder representative was stunned: "Master Tang, the anti-mage has always wanted to kill you. They must have a way of researching the clouds, and if they use too many variety, it will be detrimental to you. ”
Tang Shidao smiled: "It's okay, Elder. Since I must have my reasons for deciding to do this, you don't have to worry about me. Prudence is a good quality that a strong person needs, but timidity is not. Also, I don't have to meditate on the things I study to repair, as long as I have the life core of the ancient puppet in my hand. So you guys reset the arrangement as soon as possible, and I can study it while I release the clouds. ”
The elder representative was silent for a while before he said, "Since Master Tang said so, I will go back and report to the Council of Elders." If you change your mind......"
Tang Shidao only shook his head slightly, and the elder representative didn't say much more.
Turn around.
Leave the workshop quickly.
At this time, Emperor Jin and a group of material merchants came in.
Handing over the list of magic artifacts they needed, the merchant representative stepped forward and spoke: "Master Tang, these are the things we need the most, when you have time to make them, I don't dare to trouble you now." In addition, we have jointly acquired the remains of a hundred ancient golems as a gift to you. We still have some in hand, and if Master Tang wants to exchange some charged magic weapons, we will only leave it to you. ”
Tang Shidao nodded, and did not refuse the kindness of the merchants.
Hearing that they had left some for trading, Tang Shidao was even more satisfied with this attitude. On Mage.com, everyone is accustomed to imitating the scarecrow: no matter what kind of friendship, a transaction is a transaction. Embarrassing a friend with favors is worse than an enemy. Therefore, the more acquaintances they are, the more they must distinguish the boundaries, and businessmen understand this kind of proportionality very well.
If there is no real friendship on Mage.com, that's not right either.
After all, there are two different worlds between mages and mages, and if you want to say 'ow', it is a very irresponsible thing to say, and it is possible to die if you do a mission. Therefore, if you are able to pay off the debt, it is generally paid off immediately.
Seeing Tang Shidao nodding, the merchant representative said: "Master Tang, in addition to the magic weapon you rewarded, the other works are just charging magic weapons, and the price can be five percent higher than the market." ”
"Conditions?" Tang Shidao asked.
"If we die unfortunately, I hope Master Tang can resurrect us. Of course, you don't dare to think about running out of life or dying, and you don't dare to embarrass you in a place that is too dangerous. It's just some accidental deaths in ordinary times, and we hope that Master Tang will give a little protection. The merchant representative said, and the rest of the merchants bowed their hands together.
"Five percent higher than the market price, that's a lot of money."
"We are just small people, and it is a great blessing to be able to be deigned by Master Tang. One-twentieth of the profit can guarantee a life, and it is well worth it. ”
"Okay, I agreed." Tang Shidao nodded. The mage was originally a person who traveled through the ten thousand worlds, and this condition did not affect him at all.
"Thank you, Master Tang, please try to say what you need in the future. Even if we don't have the goods in hand, we can be considered experts in inquiring about the news. Then, we will not bother and look forward to the works of Master Tang. Once again, the merchants gave up, left the list, and walked away.
Emperor Jin was very surprised to hear this.
The five percent profit that the businessmen gave away was a bit too much. In the refiner world, the Iron Sect is to this extent. Although I know that businessmen value the title of 'First Grandmaster' more, I am afraid that this concession is a bit too much, and it may cause some small turmoil.
The next day.
Sure enough, as expected by Emperor Jin, there were some bad rumors in the city, and some people secretly rumored that Tang Shidao 'coerced' businessmen to buy goods at high prices.
Hearing the news, the owner of the copper and stone hammer came over to inquire as soon as possible. He is the owner of a refining workshop, a craftsman and a businessman, and his reputation is the first, and his skill is the second. If Tang Shidao really did this, even if he was a charged refining master, he wouldn't be able to.
Tang Shidao smiled: "Owner, am I short of money?" ”
The copper stone hammer was stunned: "There must be no shortage." ”
"Am I short of materials?"
"There is no shortage either."
"That's right, why should I coerce the merchants. You go get busy, like to say let them talk. Tang Shidao said that others sent me money and materials, and I still used coercion.
The copper stone hammer thought about it and knew that someone was making trouble, but he confirmed that Tang Shidao didn't ask for it and didn't care much.
Soon.
The rumor turned into a second version: what false technology did Tang Shidao use to deceive the merchants and defraud them of their profits.
This time.
Before it was the turn of the copper hammer owner to speak, the merchants jumped out first to explain. said that Tang Shidao did not ask for profits, but they deliberately gave away five percent of the profits for the sake of safety. This explanation seems to add fuel to the fire. The rumors were no longer aimed at Tang Shidao, but began to target those merchants. Some people almost pointed at their noses and said, "Are you stupid?" Who wouldn't know the resurrection technique, any light spirit guard in the Aojin armor in the Light Spirit Continent would, be guilty of sending money to the first grandmaster.
Actually, if it's a mage, there's nothing wrong with making an extra mage friend.
They're just ordinary merchants, off-net mages, and some are even just level scum magic apprentices.
It is not in the interests of businessmen to give so many profits due to such a difference in status.
Tang Shidao was also surprised when he heard it.
asked Emperor Jin to come over and talk, and Emperor Jin quickly came and explained, "Master Tang, this matter is not strange. It is normal for those businessmen to give up too much profit and attract the opinions of some other businessmen. Maybe this is the order of the mage behind them, or it may be that their original world is not safe enough and needs your protection, but others may not understand. ”
Tang Shidao asked again: "It can't be what the anti-mage master wants to do, right?" ”
Emperor Jin smiled: "It's possible, but not necessarily." Mages on Mage.com are generally not enemies, but they are not necessarily friends either. Some mages are born to look at each other unpleasantly, such as me, there are many people on the mage network who look at me unpleasantly. You know me too well, and they have a bad feeling for you. Those businessmen also have competitors and business enemies, and it is normal for them to be discredited. ”
Hearing this, Tang Shidao didn't care much about it.
Unexpected.
The next day, things got worse and worse, and more people laughed at those businessmen, and faintly mentioned Tang Shidao's 'fraud', thinking that Tang Shidao had played those businessmen as fools. Maybe it was too sudden, and the elder representatives of the Supreme Light Hall rushed over and asked Tang Shidao if he wanted to give a public speech to explain, and they could arrange a place.
The Temple of the Supreme Light generally does not interfere in commercial affairs, so they cannot interfere forcibly, but can only help convey information to citizens.
Tang Shidao already smelled a hint of something unusual.
Shaking his head, he rejected the elder's kindness.
For several days in a row.
This matter is getting more and more lively, in addition to laughing at those businessmen, it seems that he also wants to hit Tang Shidao 'character'. A representative of a businessman named 'Shang Hong' came to plead guilty, and he said that he did not expect the matter to be so big. The concession has been made, and I am afraid that it will be even more controversial to take it back, and he can't help it for a while.
Tang Shidao only said: "Mr. Shang Hong, I want to trouble you to help me check some information." ”
Shang Hong nodded: "Those rumor-mongers?" I've inquired about ......"
Tang Shidao waved his hand and interrupted: "No, you can help me inquire if the Red King is still here, and then inquire what materials those rumor-mongers are buying." I'm afraid they're not targeting me, they're targeting the restoration of the Ancient Golem. ”
"Master Tang, the businessmen don't dare to offend Master Guixuan's group."
"Not necessarily, what if the materials suitable for the restoration of the Ancient Golem were 'robbed'? That's not about the merchants, right? I don't want to doubt them, but it's certainly an opportunity for a businessman to make a fortune. We need a lot of restoration materials, and if we succeed, the need will be even greater. ”
"Okay, we'll do it right away." Shang Hong is also a businessman, how can he not understand business methods.
Those people snapped up the materials, then pretended to be robbed, and finally raised the price.
This means who will not.
It is said that a thousand dao, ten thousand turtle xuan and others are just refiners, and they are only one profession in the mage network, and there are also different technical masters such as alchemists and scroll masters. Moreover, there are some people who only use force to do things, regardless of technical matters. For example, the Flame Demon Merchant of the Abyss, do you think it will talk to Master Guixuan about benevolence and righteousness, and how to make money.
"Wait a minute." Tang Shidao stopped Shang Hong.
"What else does Master Tang command?"
"You've been laughed at so badly these days. Help me pass on a word, just say: The first grandmaster knows the spell of 'Hades Crossing and Returning'. ”
"Okay. This one...... What kind of spell is Hades? ”
"That's the point. You'll have to keep an eye on me to see who reacts to the name of the spell. Inquire as hard as you can, and anyone who knows about this spell will write it down for me. Tang Shidao said solemnly. He was sure that no one knew about this spell, and the evil pupil, one of the Seven Heroes of the Anti-Mage, didn't tell anyone.
Theoretically.
No one knows about this spell...... Unless they are also the Seven Heroes of the Anti-Mage, the best friends of the Evil Pupil can guess it. In short, no matter who knows, 100% of it has something to do with the evil pupil. Tang Shidao suspected that there was another move in the assassination, because they did not participate in the finals of the armor competition, and they failed to make a move.
Right now.
They were still staring at themselves, still staring at the light runes of the Warrior Monk's Secret Text.
After Shang Hong left.
"Little Kim."
"I'm here, master."
"You become me, and I become you for a trip."
"Yes, master."
