Chapter 14 To each according to his needs
Li Yun's sudden move surprised everyone, especially Lana and Fahney, who had been with Li Yun the longest and understood that except for some simple needs, there were few things that could make Li Yun happy. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and now he has made such a request to a stranger, is there anything strange about this inconspicuous book?
"It's my honor!" Bukacz was stunned for a moment, then respectfully handed the book to Li Yun with both hands, and didn't forget to pat the horse: "I think that with the difference of Mr., I must be able to see more things from this book that I don't know what kind of text is written!"
Li Yun didn't have any change in expression, just took the book, looked at the cover carefully, and then slowly flipped through it. In fact, what attracted Li Yun at the first place was the dark atmosphere in this book. Perhaps because of the age, this aura has faded to the point that it can be ignored if you don't pay attention to it. It's a pity that Li Yun rarely makes the mistake of 'not paying attention to it', otherwise, he would have been a corpse for several years now.
This is not a powerful magic book, and Li Yun didn't expect him to record any forbidden spells, Li Yun, who has Julio's memory, recognized this as an experimental codex from the cover, that is, notes that record various data and experiences of mages in magic experiments and research projects. The dark aura on it shows that this book has been paid attention to by at least a dark mage, so Li Yun borrowed it to take a look, if it is a dark mage's thing, there must be some content on it that he can learn from, then he will earn it.
As it turned out, indeed, it was an experimental codex of dark mages, and it was written in the ancient Kalash script. What's more, the name on the title page was like a huge thunder exploding in Li Yun's heart, making him feel that the favor of the god of luck for him was simply flattering. It is: Inglama, Modier, the greatest necromancer of all time, the ultimate degenerate of the moon elves, the king of the cruel wilderness, the messenger of the god of darkness and death, etc., etc., this person has too many titles to count, and everything associated with his name is often earth-shattering events and super powerful artifacts, and most importantly, he is the inventor of the modified version of the altar of the dead used by Li Yun! This is simply more pleasing to Li Yun than giving Li Yun a forbidden spell book and telling him to use it. Because of this codex, it is tantamount to Ingrama and Modigeb personally opening the door to explore the unknown for Li Yun. Like an athlete in a relay race, Li Yun took over the ideas and imagination from Ingrama, and he will stand on the shoulders of giants to explore the true meaning of a broader space and technique.
After turning a few pages to confirm that the content was correct, Li Yun said lightly: "This is a codex of anecdotes that an adventurer described in ancient times, is there any intention to sell it, Mr. Bukachi?" If Bukachi knew the truth, I'm afraid he would have kowtowed to his teacher!
"You can really understand!" Bukaczy's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his speech, and hurriedly remedied: "Of course, I mean you are so interested in this ancient culture......
"Mr. Bukachi, you should answer my question. With him, maybe I can discover some more endangered species. That's my hobby!"
Indeed, when Li Yun returned, he carried a large bag on his back, which the mercenaries later found to be some colorful plants and seeds. Who knows? Maybe weirdos have some weird hobbies!
"Of course, of course, I, Bukacs, have always had a reputation for sacrificing myself for the betterment of others, and I know that a man of your vulgarity doesn't care about money. This trip hired Mr. Albert and his party, and along the way they ate and drank, maintained their equipment, traveled to the hotel, and rode the information, which cost a lot of money, and died in ...... "As a shrewd businessman, Bukacs began to describe how the price he paid for the book was to increase the value of the goods or win the sympathy of the purchasers.
"What do you want? Just say it!" Li Yun's long-winded comments to him were simply heartbreaking.
"I envy and like Mr. very much, this tamed adult tortoiseshell lizard, I know that with Mr. 's skills, it is not too difficult to catch another one, and you are also for a while, after the swamp, this food-hungry guy is a burden to you who are adventuring around......" The halfling actually rubbed his hands a little embarrassed. Albert and the others are absolutely down, this guy will be embarrassed!
"Are you sure?" The light in Li Yun's eyes suddenly became sharp again, as if the person he was staring at would fall to the ground in a second. Everyone was sweating for the halfling.
Although his legs were shaking and his forehead was sweating, Bukacz forced himself to answer quickly: "Sure!"
The edge was gone, and Li Yun changed to a flat look again: "I'm very strange, why would you be so persistent in this kind of thing with your cowardice and timidity?"
"There is nothing more shameful for a good halfling businessman than to give up on profits. You can't bargain at a loss if you do business!" Bukacz said in a calm tone that he had never had before.
"What a villain!" Li Yun nodded secretly. "Okay! I'll give you the trick of this lizard on the rest of the trip. Leave the Swamp and it's officially in your name. Moreover, I admire you, halfling, as long as the profit is right, you will be a good partner, some transactions require your courage and courage, I will contact you again!"
"Thank you, thank you for your kindness, I will not let you down!" Bukacz immediately changed to a more respectful salutation, and stood up and bowed to Li Yun. Turning to Albert, he put on another face: "Warriors, cheer for your heroic deeds! ”
The mercenaries cheered! 50 gold, they can only get 10 gold for this operation, 50 gold, it is enough to buy land and marry a daughter-in-law.
"Is this big guy really that valuable?" the orc Solandar scratched her head in confusion.
"Sorry, I'm so straightforward to speak! Do you know what this tortoiseshell lizard represents? It represents the emergence of a new path that belongs only to me. When I have the money, I want to build a transit station in the muddy swamp, and I want to find a mate for this tortoiseshell lizard, and with the first one, there will be a second, and in the future, the water lizard will be the best amphibian carrier, and my name will be remembered in the history books...... "Bukachi spat and flew, and his divergent thinking has turned three, four, five, or six, and he has begun to imagine a better future.
"Yes, the great merchant of the future, Bukachi, I have a good image of you. Your brain is a precious treasure, and in order to ensure that this wealth is not lost, I will soon send you a loyal bodyguard, who will not be able to help you cut people, but he can ensure that you are unharmed in the presence of a hundred regular soldiers. Rejoice, Bukachi, today is your lucky day because you met us. Li Yun spoke in the tone of a certain feudal official, and the majesty between his words and deeds was not reduced in the slightest because of his strange attire.
Closing his eyes again, Li Yun seemed to have fallen into some kind of petrified state again, and everything outside his body became irrelevant to him. This time, everyone was no longer surprised, and the conversation was even more lively because of the influence of Bukacs's favoritism. Even when the rain stopped, everyone didn't notice it. Until the night after, you can still hear the whispers of several women.
The next day, everyone hit the road with talk and laughter. Li Yun hid in the corner all morning to study his flowers and plants, and with Stephanie joining, the three of Fahni were also a lot more lively, and there were a few coquettish laughter from time to time. Dwarves and orcs are busy figuring out what kind of ale brewing machine they can buy for the gold coins after the mission, and how much gold they can send home after rewarding themselves. Bukkacz stood at the forefront of the box, shouting tirelessly, purportedly communicating with the lizards. Hughes tried to do as many eye-piercing gestures as possible, including practicing his sword on the back of a lizard in the morning, to attract the attention of the young ladies, and his appearance was suspicious of spring. Albert was the quietest, he was meditating, and unlike his hard-working companions, his consumption was not something that could be solved by a meal or a night's sleep.
In the afternoon, Li Yun went to collect plants again. However, the time he left was very short, and he brought back twice as many things as the last time, and no one knew how he did it. Those weird plants aren't just a handful of aquatic plants. Only Li Yun himself understood that these plants were collected by him through the vision of white claws and white fangs.
That night, Li Yun secretly disappeared for two hours, and no one knew where he went, what he went to, and no one even knew that he had left.
Then came the third day of calm and waves, and at dusk the group came to the edge of the far west of the silt swamp. The lizard has become a treasure in Bukacchi, and he even climbs on the lizard's head to clean it despite the danger. Perhaps sensing Bukachi's kindness, the lizard also seemed very docile to this halfling, which made Bukacchi smile more than he made half a pot of gold. And White Fang's appearance made him want to kiss the back of everyone's hands to show his gratitude. Needless to say, great combat effectiveness, no sleep, no need to eat, no loyalty, and what the hell could be more practical and money-saving than this? Such an idea made everyone cry and laugh, businessmen! They really value this money, and they can't even distinguish the reasons for their happiness.
After the past few days of tinkering and last night's processing, the white claws and white fangs are no longer the miserable appearance of Sen Bai, their appearance exudes the gray-green light unique to the bronze of many years, and the dark fire in their eyes has been replaced by a jewel-like aqua blue. The aura of darkness converged so that Fahne did not notice it. Li Yun used a bluffing name, the Bronze Guard, to fabricate the life story for White Claw and White Fang. "This is a puppet lifeform made by combining alchemy, mechanics, arcane and other skills, they are constructing life, master-level, an accidental discovery from my adventure!" Li Yun said the same as the truth, but in fact, he only knew about constructing life.
Everyone was relieved, and it was no wonder that ordinary constructed beings could only carry out simple orders, such as holding the land and killing them all without a brand...... And the white teeth in front of him have the intelligence of a 5-6 year old child. What's even more exaggerated is that wild fighting style, no one wants to fight a guy who moves like the wind and is not afraid of getting hurt and has no physical strength.
It's a fork in the road, and with White Fang and the Lizard, Bukachi is already perfectly capable of returning to his Samburi on his own. And Albert and the others, who left office early, received signed silver tickets, and they could go back to Boulder Castle. However, how could the sharpened merchant let go of the opportunity to spend money to buy it, so the Albert Seven had a mission that was not a mission, and sent Bukacchi's handwritten letter to the halfling trading company in Boulder Castle. Halflings are very united, and many of them are thieves, but they have never heard of attacking their fellow citizens. Bukacs wants to unite with the merchants of Boulder Fort and vigorously start his logistics industry.
Boulder Castle happened to be the first stop from Nesman's after going out of the Adventurer's Road, so Albert and Stephanie made a request for their party to go on the road with Li Yun and the others. Li Yun did not refuse, because he wanted to take the opportunity to test these mercenaries, and if possible, they would be hired by Li Yun to carry out a mission. Li Yun and the others are very short of manpower now, and many things are far from being solved by thugs like White Fang and White Claw.
Out of the silt swamp, the adventurer's road is more than halfway through, waiting for Li Yun and them is the rugged mountain road of the Misty Canyon, which is part of the dark green danger near the edge of the largest primeval forest in the territory of Nesser, and it is safe on weekdays. But there are no absolutes, maybe those monsters hidden in the dark green danger ran over the forest along the forest?
