Section 8: My Abilities?
First of all, Rant is really simple.
This most basic ability can be mastered by an apprentice, and Vahu is always on the edge of success and failure. If he had a mentor and a few random words, he would have succeeded a long time ago.
Second, roaring is a technique in which input is completely disproportionate to output.
To use an analogy, it's as if Vahu had painstakingly gathered a bucket of water that could be used to wash clothes, to make soup, and to flush the toilet with the most wasteful use of his ability to release a roar, which was to flush a whole bucket of pure water to flush the toilet, and only one.
Finally, the exercise of roaring is more meaningful than the actual use effect.
At first, Vahu tried a maximum of three times in a row, but after two days, he was able to make five consecutive attempts, and the earthy yellow orbs he awakened had increased in number and volume. In other words, even if he has the wrong method and his strength is low, as long as he grits his teeth and persists, he will be able to succeed one day.
In fact, it's normal to think about it, there is basically no skill in flushing the toilet, and the fault tolerance surname should be the largest.
Most importantly, however, Townsend, who was on the sidelines, completely verified his guesses.
The Anomalous Masters of this world can't see abilities, and they can not only see them, but they can steal them—but if they pass by the little earthy yellow balls around him, Townsend can take them with his hand. Once on contact with yourself, these earthy yellow balls turn into small crystals that sparkle like diamonds.
However, due to Vahu's side, it was inconvenient for Townsend to do further research.
But he had already unleashed dozens of roars in his mind, and they were perfect roars that had achieved the effect in an instant without all the tedious preparation and ridiculous poses! He had even simulated the release of two derivative forms of roars, and he didn't feel any difficulty.
It can be said that under the reference of Vahu's complete defeat, Townsend is the happiest man.
Vahu had been unsuccessful, so much so that when Townsend handed the notes back to him, Vahu was completely gloomy. However, he is a man who has a beginning and an end, and although he has withered like a long-drought-stricken plant, he still has the spirit to make an agreement with Townsend on the fulfillment date of the IOU, hoping to get Townshend's help next time......
Early on the morning of the third day, the caravan had collected all the goods, and the spicy mercenaries' souvenirs were also filled with three camel beasts (one of which was holding a ration of dead leaf balls), and everyone had breakfast before leaving.
At this time, Vahu appeared.
He walked up to Townsend with small steps, his rustic face a little embarrassed. Townsend was pretending to be confused, blinking his eyelids sincerely, but in his heart he was laughing and scolding - can such a dull man be a chief!
"Townsend, can you ...... Can you ......" Vahu's face flushed.
"Give him the back pocket. Townsend said to the monkey, "Let him make a note by the way." ”
"Thank you!" Wahu hugged the purple powder bag, excited: "Thank you!
"Get out!" Townsend scolded: "You are the good guy, your whole family is!"
By the time the monkey clamped the latest IOU to a stack of IOUs, Vahu had stumbled out of the restaurant, and soon a familiar noise was heard outside.
"Roar—ah!" in his exhilarating roar, the unfurnished group just shook their heads, and then it was time to eat.
"Roar—ah!" in his angry roar, the strange group shook their heads, and then it was time to chat.
"Roar—ah!" roared in despair, and the unrequited group walked out of the dining room and untied the reins of the camel.
"Boom!" Behind everyone, in that secluded courtyard, there was a sudden dull loud noise, and even the ground was trembling slightly.
In an instant, everyone's footsteps settled, first looking at each other, and then looking back - this movement, it can't be Vahu, right?
"Ahh
"Monkey, tell everyone to guard the caravan!" Townsend glanced at the leader of the caravan, "I'll take a look." ”
Walking in quickly with two people, Townsend first saw the terrible appearance of the courtyard wall, one side of which had been destroyed by most of it, and large and small pieces of mud and stone were splashed thirty meters away. In the courtyard, puffs of dust were rising and filling the air - the upper part of the stake target, which had been unscathed for two days, had disappeared, and the fracture was neat.
Vahu fell to his knees in the dust, his hands raised high, and let out a roar of a beast!
Townsend stopped, very emotional.
"We ......" The leader of the caravan who arrived next gasped and said to Townsend, "Sir, we have witnessed the birth of a miracle. ”
"Yes, but this miracle is about to be dismembered by the innkeeper. Townsend glanced at the innkeeper who was "looking for a guy" everywhere - his property had been ruined, and the owner was already red-eyed.
"Don't! don't make a fuss!" the leader of the camel team hurriedly rushed over and hugged the boss: "He's an anomaly!
"Let go of me!I'll call him a miracle master!" the boss has an axe in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right hand: "I'm going to make him into a broth!"
"I'll pay for it!" The leader of the camel team hung on the boss's waist and was dragged away by him: "I will pay for all losses!"
"My walls are worth a lot! My house is worth a lot!"
"Find a liar - find a liar, right?"
In the midst of their tumult, in the midst of Vahu's long-lasting wailing, Townsend smiled and turned around.
Vahu finally succeeded, and Townsend could share a glimmer of joy in witnessing the success of others.
The accident delayed the caravan for more than an hour, and the leader of the caravan, who was discerning in business, not only paid the innkeeper a sum of money, but also paid another sum of money for Wahu's journey back to his hometown. For a West Coast Anomalous (though essentially an apprentice) (and maybe a Chief), this kind gesture from the Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly appropriate and timely.
The final result, of course, was very happy, but after the innkeeper regained his senses, he suddenly realized the horror of the anomaly, and he had long since disappeared.
Vahu himself, on the other hand, was so grateful to Townsend that he repeatedly agreed to meet him next time, saying that he would bring him ten times as many good things from the tribe next time, saying that his hometown was rich in supernatural items.
From beginning to end, Townsend maintained a faint and profound expression, in fact, he is very annoyed now, he doesn't look at Vahu's half-assed ability, you are quite successful, hurry up, I still have three days to go!
The caravan finally set off under the morning sun, with crisp bells and laughter all the way to the snow-capped mountains.
Given that Townsend helps a Psychiatrist (though actually an apprentice) realize his dreams, the leader of the caravan is more kind to Townsend, and ordinary people are already talking to him with a high-eyed gesture.
With such a powerful boss, the spicy mercenaries are even more arrogant.
The return journey went more smoothly than when they came, and three days later, the caravan returned to Harvey Town, setting the best record in history with no surprises, no dangers and no losses.
That is to say, the first cooperation between the Blue Blossom Chamber of Commerce and the Spicy Mercenary Group has been successfully achieved! Whether it is luck or strength, success is success!
Back in town, the leader of the caravan reported everything to the upper echelons of the chamber of commerce, and the situation about Townsend was even more detailed and detailed.
The results of the first cooperation between the two sides were very satisfactory to the Chamber of Commerce, only from a commercial point of view, the periphery was taken care of, the camel caravan could focus more on the camel beasts and goods, and the mercenaries chose suitable rest places and emergency routes for them, and even left fresh game in the campsite......
As a sincere partner, this gratitude is reflected in the reward.
When Miss Wenli visited again, Townsend was making a glove for himself.
Although the ability powder and everything were wasted for Vahu, the glove ingredient called "Black Gold" remained. Townsend used the finest leather as a base, using the purest black gold, and it took a day and night to be considered a complete - this kind of black gold, which greatly increases the affinity of the ability, is very soft, but it must be processed with tools such as a file, but fortunately, Townsend knows a little bit of everything, otherwise he would really have to beg someone to go.
Miss Wenli arrived, of course, to congratulate the successful cooperation. She brought the reward for this cooperation, which was 500 gold coins - the logistics chief cook had to use the hug to take it, and her mouth shouted: "I'm afraid there are dozens of catties." Then, the cook did his best to prepare a feast for Miss Wen Li, the big gold owner.
For Townsend, it is more sinful to eat with others, but it is very pleasant to eat with friends, especially a girl like Miss Wenli, who looks like and talks with a first-class temperament, and it is really enjoyable to eat with her.
During the banquet, Townsend talked about the senses along the way, and took out five pearls, and gave Wen Li the largest one, and Riva also had a share.
It wasn't a gift, and Townsend just wanted her to share in the joy of "buying pearls" at the time.
"Thank you, the pearls on the West Coast are so beautiful. Although it was a raw pearl that was not made or even packaged, Miss Wenli was very happy and solemnly put it away: "I heard from the steward of the camel team, you also became someone else's mentor once?"
"Not a mentor, at best a translator. Townsend told him about Vahu, but concealed the part about himself: "This kid is not easy, his surname is tenacious, perseverance, and most importantly, luck, maybe he will be a chief in the future." The Blue Blossom Chamber of Commerce can keep in touch with him, which is good for business expansion. ”
"Forty-five days' journey, that's already deep into the hinterland of the West Coast, and the Blue Blossom business can't do that kind of place, and we can't afford to meddle in the affairs of the Dawn Council. Miss Wenli smiled and shook her head: "Chamber of Commerce, it will always be handed over to men in the future, and several nephews are slowly growing up, so let them worry about it when the time comes." ”
"So you're the caretaker president, that's amazing. ”
"It's not because the old are lazy and the young are young, but they insist on tying people up in the Chamber of Commerce. Miss Wenli said, "By the way, my spring break is almost over, what are your plans for the next step, Townsend, do you want to go to the capital of Andorra?"
"I can't leave for the time being, I want to fix the cooperation first and take care of them for a while. Townsend said, "Probably, maybe by the time you come back from the summer, I'll be pretty much ready to go out." Actually, I don't like to nest in one place, maybe I'll trouble you when the time comes. ”
