Chapter 25: Simple Questions

"Well, Mr. 'Not Human'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info you give me a thousand gold coins, I promise you. Zhao Mai's vocabulary is not large, and he can only express the meaning in such simple sentences.

If compared to the overall profit that salt production can bring, a thousand gold coins is simply not enough to exchange for the "secret recipe". If the "hype" is done properly, the big bag of salt on Zhao Mai's back can be sold for so much money.

But one cannot be blinded by gold coins and become unable to see the true value of a thing. Filtered with densely woven fabric, adsorbed with charcoal, and then boiled, learning these only took Zhao Mai three minutes of reading time, how much is it worth? And Zhao Mai did not agree to exclusively authorize the dwarf to use it, but sold a "copy" of this secret recipe. By the time the dwarfs had learned and were ready to start production, perhaps Zhao Mai had already found ten other merchants who were willing to pay this price.

In Zhao Mai's mind, the best way is to drive a taxi, along the road, and sell a secret recipe every time he goes to a village. It doesn't take much, one or two hundred gold coins will do, and if you meet a lord, you can sell it for five hundred. When everyone cherished the broom, Zhao Mai had already sold thousands of copies of the "secret recipe". He doesn't even have to get his hands dirty, and he can make super profits.

And in the end, everyone can afford to eat salt, and it is too late for the elves to settle accounts with him.

Ranger Carl calculated in his heart and thought that a thousand gold coins were really not expensive. He lived a simple life of self-sufficiency, and was not sensitive to money, or that such things as earning money never took up space in his mind. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and make judgments. The gnome's request has hurt his authority as the owner of the land, as if it had violated the territory, but if the matter can be resolved by Mike's proposal, then he will respect Mike's idea.

But the dwarf didn't think so, he didn't have a thousand gold coins, and he didn't want to pay for it. "No, you can only get out of here if you leave the secret recipe as a guarantee, there is no other path to choose. ”

Zhao Mai only understood the word "no", and Karl took a step forward, his left hand shrunk behind his back, and grabbed the hilt of the short sword on his waist. The animals in the vicinity of the Ranger Tree were all alerted, and their faces converged on the gnomes with a fierce light. Silently, the dog began to circle behind the gnome, and the python crawled on the branches, and when it came directly above the gnome, it hung itself by its tail and began to descend slowly.

"This is my territory, and you can't restrict his freedom. Karl the Ranger warns the gnomes, "You'd better get out of the way, lest this matter become out of control." ”

Wow, this is about to start? Zhao Mai was more excited than anyone else, and he also stood beside Carl with a fake tiger, defending his interests with the enemy. It's a pity that the dwarf is not a fool, and after rolling his eyes, he recognized the situation, turned sideways with a cold face, and got out of the way.

This is not good for Zhao Mai. He hoped that the dwarf would be able to take a break in his brain and start fighting without saying a word, so that he could solve this problem with the help of the Ranger's power. Since you have chosen to be a robber, please stick to it and get out of the way? A career that was originally quite promising, but it has become impossible to go up and down, and it is impossible to solve the substantive problem by hanging in mid-air.

Going into the forest now is bound to face risks, and perhaps the gnomes will not give up. But if he turned around like this and drilled the tree hole with the reserve grain, Zhao Mai felt that he was too embarrassed. Isn't it the same as a dwarf if you are halfway through and don't leave?

The roads are all waded out, the bumps are all flat, and he is not like a man. Zhao Mai picked up the still noisy reserve grain from the ground, tucked it under his armpit, and then walked past the dwarf with his middle finger upright.

The gnome seemed to turn a blind eye, just a few flicks of his fingers placed on the side of his legs, and there seemed to be a sparkle of stars. The reserve bared his teeth at the dwarf and barked twice in a low voice. Zhao Mai touched its head and comforted it softly.

"Rest assured, it's all in my expectation. ”

He swaggered into the woods, then began to pick up speed. Although the copycat version of the wood-crossing step is a bit physically demanding, it can really increase the movement speed. The little short legs of the dwarf, if you run in the forest, it is definitely not as convenient as yourself.

Zhao Mai ran while pondering a countermeasure in his heart. From the short contact, Zhao Mai has analyzed a lot of things. Lacking any armor, wearing only a light shirt, and lacking any muscles, this dwarf is most likely to be a spellcaster. If he uses a wand instead of a holy emblem, then it is possible for both the mage and the warlock, fifty percent each. If he could know whether he had brought a magic book or not, then Zhao Mai would be able to determine the dwarf's profession.

The entire race of gnomes is the most prone to illusionists. Although this does not guarantee that the other party must be an illusionist, Zhao Mai also needs to be vigilant in his heart. There are many classifications under illusions, including sensory hallucinations, psychic hallucinations, phantom hallucinations, and phantom hallucinations. Sensory hallucinations affect the five senses, while psychic hallucinations project signals directly to the brain. The phantom hallucination is even deeper, and by influencing the subconscious, the victim can "make up" the plot. Phantom hallucinations use energy to create semi-real objects to simulate the sensations of the real world.

However, Phantom and Phantom Hallucinations are more complex to cast, and can only be mastered by more skilled spellcasters. If the dwarf was able to cast a spell of this level, Zhao Mai would surrender immediately.

In fact, Zhao Mai didn't want to lose his life for a salt-making method. If the dwarf could fly and throw fireballs, he decided to surrender immediately and serve the salt law. Maybe when the two people "cordially" exchanged the three-year plan for the salt industry, new opportunities appeared?

However, such a crisis should not arise. Although Zhao Mai has little practical experience, he is extremely familiar with the various messy settings of the fantasy world. So far, whether it is an old ranger or a half-orc, the strength they have shown is all in Zhao Mai's expectations, and there is no phenomenon that he can't explain. As long as this situation can be maintained, then Zhao Mai has the confidence to fight back.

First of all, you must choose an environment that you are familiar with, and then firmly remember every grass and tree in your heart to avoid being deceived by illusions. In fact, illusions often have loopholes, and as long as you calm down and take your time, you can always find them, but there are few conditions to calm down. The best battlefield is actually next to the taxi, and it is absolutely safe to be in the car. Unfortunately, it would take at least a day to get back to the lake, and he wouldn't be able to make it until dark.

From the time he left, Ranger Carl would be able to hold the gnome back for at least two or three hours, after which he could begin the pursuit. When they were about to separate, the dwarf must have cast some spell on himself to track, so he couldn't hope that his opponent couldn't find him.

The most appropriate travel spell in the current environment is undoubtedly Flying, which means switching to a trick to surrender. If he believed that his luck would not be so bad, and the gnome could not fly, then he would definitely summon his mount to hurry.

Horses can't run in the jungle, but there is nothing wrong with riding a dog, and a dwarf's small size is just right for riding a dog. This becomes a problem of pursuit, where A starts first and moves at a speed of XX, and B travels in the same direction and YY faster than A, and when the two meet......

Zhao Mai calculated the result, and then it was time to find a place to arrange the battlefield.
