Chapter 23 Developed
Niu Dali slept comfortably for a rare nap, after waking up indescribably refreshed, closed his eyes to feel the internal air flow in his body, the air flow that had not been managed for several months slowly circulated automatically in the body, and it actually increased a lot.

"You can actually increase your skills by yourself when you sleep, isn't this a hang-up exercise?" The nervous old cow decided, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't have to bother thinking about it so much, put on his clothes haphazardly, pushed open the door and walked downstairs.
The lobby of the hotel is part-time as a bar, and the bored Ogre Flint sits alone in front of the bar to pass the time, and the Ogre's fat fingers are very flexible, and in the blink of an eye, he deducts a good product that is bigger than a soybean grain.
The fat hippopotamus proprietress who was several heads shorter than the ogre, but whose waist was as close as the ogre, looked at the flint with interest in the bar, and laughed with the flint without saying a word.
Seeing Niu Dali walking downstairs, Flint stood up a little embarrassed, his fierce face was still a little embarrassed, picked up a thick stack of exquisite invitations on the bar and handed it to Lao Niu, and said in a humming voice: "Master Modo, these are all sent by you when you were asleep." “
Niu Dali took the invitation and flipped it up, and the top one was an invitation from the Governor's Palace, which read, "Sincerely invite the Modo Knight to the Welcome Ball to be held tonight at the Governor's Palace", and the payment turned out to be the autograph of the werewolf Governor Otto Lance.
The rest of the invitations were all sent by the high-ranking people in Black Rock City, and the worst ones were a few famous businessmen in the city, and the name of the invitation was nothing more than the birthday of their wives and children, or the anniversary of so-and-so, and the programs they participated in included afternoon tea, dinners, dances, hunting, and other programs.
Fortunately, the time is not today, and it is clear that they have left their recent days to the highest-ranking Governor Odo.
"Is this the routine between nobles?" Niu Dali threw the invitation card in his hand back to the bar, and bounced the yellow-brown boogers stuck to his fingers back to the face of the flint, and then realized that he had to find some decent people to be responsible for running errands and receptions.
The last time I met the penguin housekeeper in the Governor's Palace, the faction is called a full, this must find one, and the beautiful bunny girl maid who has been thinking about this seems to have a lot of territory, after a winter of nutritional supplements, there is no need to spend this unjust money, just go back and choose some beautiful ones.
There is at least one person such as a financial officer, and now even a few hoes are sold, and the noble Modo Knight Master personally went out to negotiate the price, and the price dropped greatly.
But before the men were in place, and the ogre could only be counted, Niu Dali said to the flint, "Go find a clever kobold, and inform the Governor's Palace that I will definitely attend the evening ball." ”
Then the old cow roared: "Also, it is not allowed to detain the boogers in front of the master, especially such a large one." ”
Soon after dark, Niu Dali, dressed in a simple white robe, arrived punctually at the door of the Governor's Palace with a heavily armed ogre.
From a distance, I saw a familiar figure waiting outside the door, and it turned out to be the fox priestess who had not been separated for a long time.
It can be seen that Helena has deliberately dressed up, her long hair is coiled up, and her neck is more and more slender and elegant, and the already delicate fox face is painted with a layer of light gouache, which is even more delicate; Helena finally changed out of the priest's robe that has not changed for ten thousand years, and changed into a red evening dress and long skirt, with a devilish curve and a fiery red fox tail on the hips, the old cow swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and the crystal high heels of the same color made her look slim.
Helena looked at the little dwarf with a pig-like look and was very excited in her heart, and the whole two hours of dressing up before departure were not in vain, she took the little dwarf's hand and gently leaned on the little dwarf's side, obviously feeling the slight tremor that Niu couldn't stop shivering.
Under the welcome of the penguin butler, the old cow who was led to the ball hall came back to his senses, and the lingering fragrance on the tip of his nose and the simple touch between the march made the old cow fly in the clouds.
"It's really right on TV, the vixen is really seductive. The old cow who came back to his senses thought happily.
"Welcome our brave knight, the wealthy Borg lord Modo, to a welcome ball specially held for him. With the welcoming speech of Governor Odo in the middle of the hall, the noble men and women in the hall applauded enthusiastically, and looked eagerly at the little dwarf as if it were a huge moving gold nugget.
Even the old enemy Doret smirked, clapping his palms falsely, and his eyes rolled and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.
The cheerful music sounded, as the master of the Governor Otto motioned to the old cow to dance the first dance, the previous life had never participated in such an elegant activity Niu Dali was a little flustered, fortunately the memory of the little dwarf danced well, under the skilled leadership of Helena, the old cow actually danced well.
When dancing, with his hands on his soft waist and his face facing a small half of the tower, Lao Niu silently recited the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra several times before he barely allowed himself to make a fool of himself in public.
At the end of the dance, the noble men and women of the hall began to jump, and Niu Dali was led by the servants to the corner of the hall, where Governor Odo sat with a wine glass.
The old werewolf's eyes were very complicated when he looked at Niu Dali, there were doubts and some relief, and after the old cow sat down opposite, Governor Odo said: "The territory of Borg Village has belonged to the Lance family for more than 300 years, and it only harvests a little grain every year, but no one has ever thought that iron ore can be found there, of course, even if it is found, it is estimated that there will not be such good results, Modo Knight, I admit that I underestimated you." ”
"What do you mean by this, do you find that Lao Tzu's territory is booming, and this old man wants to take it back?" Niu Dali worried.
As if seeing through Niu Dali's thoughts, Governor Odo smiled and said: "The laws of the empire are sacred and inviolable, as long as you do not make a mistake in the territory that has been rewarded to you, His Majesty the Emperor has no right to take it back, I just want to talk to you about your goods." ”
Niu Dali, who breathed a sigh of relief, said generously: "I am also a member of the empire, and I promise here that my steel will be sold in the empire as long as half of the human caravan, and on this basis, the purchase of the Governor's Palace will continue to be discounted by 9." At the same time, he motioned to the servant to present a gift for Governor Odo, a set of specially made full-body armor.
Governor Odo carefully played with the armor in his hand, the exquisite workmanship was not counted, and the thick steel plate and the material full of moire made the old werewolf amazed: "I can't believe that such a beautiful and sturdy armor is actually produced by the empire itself, I don't know how much it can provide?"
The proud old cow said: "I can give you 20,000 catties of steel ingots this time, 50 sets of armor and weapons that have been built, and the supply after that needs to be transported by the Governor's Mansion to Borg Ling, how many as you want!"
"Really, how much and how much?" The old werewolf, who didn't expect such a huge output, stood up excitedly and hurriedly asked: "As long as you do this, I promise you that by this time next year, you will at least be an earl." ”
Lao Niu waved his hand magnificently, and said proudly: "Of course, the days when human merchants brought a cart of iron pots and regarded them as treasures will never go back once they go." ”
"Hahaha!" Governor Otto happily drank a few glasses of wine with Niu Dali, patted the little dwarf on the shoulder, and after encouraging him, he excitedly danced with a noble woman in his arms.
Before Niu Dali continued to dance a few dances with the moving little vixen, one after another the nobles came up, and before the dance was halfway through, fifty carts of steel products were sold out.
Although it is only half the price of the human caravan, the old cow pinched his fingers and calculated, what a big amount, this time the old man Modo is finally developed.
At midnight, the ball was finally over, both the host and the guests were very satisfied, and they lined up to greet Lao Niu and say goodbye, and Lao Niu felt that he had finally become a big celebrity in Black Rock City.
Helena refused the cow's request to escort him home, and placed a scented invitation in the cow's hand, and the high priest Tracy invited her to continue her visit to the Temple of the God of War tomorrow.
Before the old cow could agree, the fox priestess kissed the corner of the old cow's mouth like a dragonfly, and then ran away with a silver bell-like laugh, leaving Niu Dali, who was stiff and demented.
