Chapter Thirty-Six: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
Duck turned, leaned his back against the railing, and tucked his arms between them, the gesture of the horn caught Patrick's attention, and he looked at the confident young man with interest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"One lie is easy to debunk, but if it's two lies that echo each other, it's not so easy," Duck said. How about we work together in a play where the messenger of the river god hears the call of the water diviner and helps the tribe find the Tierekri tree and successfully relieves the crisis of the fortress so that we can leave and your prestige will surpass that of the chief?"
"A similar method has already been used once ten years ago, and if it is used again, it will not make the prestige even higher. ”
"But you were alone then, weren't you? Now that we're here, we can play big!"
"How?"
"The Citadel, which has lost its power, is about to sink on the rocks, and at the most critical moment, your divine power has come into play, and the oars of the river god are back in operation, and it is not the chieftain who will lead everyone out of their doom, but you. Of course, in order to do this, you have to risk the Divine Castle being crushed, but how can a person who does something big not be able to afford the slightest risk, don't you say?"
"Boy, maybe I should kill you. ”
"You won't, you need me to do this, it's an opportunity for me, why not for you?
The two of them laughed together.
"Deal! You go ashore and go find the Tierekri tree, and I'll keep the Citadel going downstream. ”
"Wait, we have to negotiate the time, it's easy to cut down trees and it's hard to transport them, in case we come back late, it's troublesome. ”
"Can it be solved in a week?"
"It's hard to say, what's the sturdiest logging tool you've got here?"
Patrick showed an embarrassed look for the first time: "Well, there are still a few obsidian axes." ”
"Aren't there any metal tools like iron axes?"
"That's the problem of the wild tribes. ”
The two looked at each other speechlessly, yes, you can use advanced knowledge to become a big man in the wild tribe, but when you encounter practical problems, you can only follow the existing rudimentary conditions.
Could it be that the plan to seize power can only be stuck on this?
It was Duck who came up with a solution: "Brother, you're an alchemist, right? You should know that as long as you have enough magic energy, everything is not a problem, right?"
"Is it possible to blast a way out with spells? That's too much attrition, and I don't have that much mana. ”
Duck pointed to the rumbling oars of the river god: "Don't tell me these are made by people! you can use magic energy to move the wheels, and you can definitely push saws, shovels, and axes." ”
"It's a good idea, but the magic energy drive circle is too big, and every centimeter of reduction involves the interference of magic energy fluctuations and the disorder of the elemental arrangement, and its design and layout need to be readjusted, and the environmental impact must be taken into account...... I'm telling you what I'm doing - in short, it's impossible to shrink a magic circle to something that can drive saws, shovels, axes, at least the two of us. ”
Duck smiled: "Theoretically speaking, for every centimeter of the magic energy driving circle, the amount of calculation will be doubled, according to the size of the river god's oar driving the circle, it will be reduced to the level that can drive saws, shovels, axes, and we must have at least the level of an eighth-level alchemist, and it will take two months to solve it." ”
Patrick sighed: "I can't see that you still know alchemy, but you are a talent, but ...... It's still in vain, and I can only think of other ways. ”
"The circle can't be shrunk, so why can't the saw be made bigger?"
Patrick was stunned.
Duck gestured: "You can make a big car, lay out the magic circle on it, put some super huge saws, shovels and axes on the car, push it all the way over, click-"
Patrick grabbed Duck's shoulder, and his fiery eyes frightened Duck's hair: "You, you, what are you going to do-"
"Boy, you're a genius! Do this, do it!Hahahahaha! The messenger of the river god, the craftsman of the river god! I will be the one who surpasses the chief!hahahaha!"
Half an hour later, Duck returned to his cell and told George about the conversation and the concrete plan he had finalized.
Isabella was delighted, "So, we've changed from a 'misunderstood stranger' to a 'messenger of the river god'?
Duck shook his head: "The old guy wants to usurp the throne, and the offer is for us to help him, and after he succeeds, he will set us free and provide us with a guide." I'd like to hear what everyone thinks, what are we going to do?"
Isabella said angrily: "Such a guy, we can't help him!"
George shook his head: "Otherwise, whether to usurp or not, this is someone else's family matter, and we can't care about it." It's better to work with him than with that chief, right?"
Isabella said, "Kuruma didn't do much good at the time, what happened in the end?"
Royce said: "We can pretend to promise him first, get some benefits, and when the strength is almost accumulated, we will slip away!"
George said, "It seems that this is the only way to go." What else could he ask for?"
Duck said, "Patrick is afraid that we will slip away, and has asked us to leave three people behind, and the rest of us will assist me in building the River God's Craftsman's Car and collecting the Tierekri Tree. Who are we going to leave behind?"
George said: "I stayed with Riley and Royce, and the communication tower had just been built, and we couldn't leave people. You take Yupanqui, Isabella and Isis with you, so that you can attack and defend, don't be greedy, play steady, and make more contacts. By this evening at the latest, the communication tower will be up. ”
"Great, and besides, about the River God's Craftsman's Car...... I only have one idea, how to do it, and I need your help. ”
"I did an armed colonization project a long time ago, and I tested the feasibility in the scene, and although the materials are not enough now, as long as the old guy can provide magic energy, it is still no problem to get a weakened castrated version of the collection vehicle. ”
Duck exclaimed, "I really want to hear something amazing, don't make the old guy suspicious!"
"The Gathering Cart is powered by a miniaturized magic circle, with its own equipment for extracting wood and metal minerals, as well as heavy elemental ore armor and basic defenses. I can change the miniaturized circle to a stupid, stupid, old-fashioned circle here, and then enlarge the size of the collection vehicle, and change the steel structure to a wooden structure......"
Isis suddenly interjected: "Redesign, to have primitive religious meaning, to be wild." ”
George's eyes lit up, "Great idea, Dark, how long will the old guy give us?"
"Three days. He said that it would not be good for us to hide our identities for a long time, after all, many people saw it when we entered the fortress, and the chief's attitude was not very clear. ”
Yupanki couldn't help but interject, "How about modifying the devil's chariot when we fled Dallas?"
George nodded: "Some of its designs can be used directly, and since the smelting technology here is very poor, let's not be too shocking, just use wood." What else should I pay attention to?"
"Listen to the old fellow, there are some other tribes of savages on the shore, real savages, who can eat people. Tell us to be careful when we go ashore to cut down trees. ”
"Since it's a savage, the combat power shouldn't be much higher, just be careful. ”
"Well, building a car, cutting down trees, and renovating these things can't be done in seven or eight days, and in seven or eight days, to what extent can the communication tower develop?"
Riley was full of confidence: "This castle can be renamed Psychic Castle!
