Chapter 105: Night Shadow
Instant potatoes are the same as the previous quick Eminem, they have a strange taste after over-growth, a taste that is not unpalatable, but definitely not delicious. Tang Dou tried a boiled potato, and finally tasted chalk - don't be surprised, this thing really ate chalk when he died when he was a child.
Originally, Tang Dou was still disappointed, but then he was happy again. Because the ingenious half-elf girl has discovered a secret recipe, after a certain amount of processing, at least restore the flavor of the potatoes themselves, although there will be a certain loss, but it is already good.
Tang Dou immediately decided to divide the potatoes into two batches, and the original ones were sold directly to the poor, who would not mind eating the potatoes with a bad taste, as long as they were not poisonous and could eat their stomachs. This also ensures maximum yield, as about a third is lost after treatment.
And the kind of processed product Tang Dou is ready to sell semi-finished products directly, specifically for all parties who have a good relationship with him, and it is also one of the baits he uses to "fish".
The big man was completely impressed by Lin Xiao's skills as a top restaurant chef, and at the same time he was also impressed by Tang Dou, who could make a whole table of more than 20 dishes with only the same ingredients as potatoes and a few ingredients and seasonings, and if he didn't know the details, he wouldn't even be able to eat the main ingredients of this table of dishes.
Tang Dou felt that this technique had broken through common sense and entered the realm of fantasy.
Only a small number of people in the workshop who were directly involved in planting and harvesting knew that these potatoes were planted and harvested in the magical rune array for a few days, and the others did not know, but it did not hinder their gratitude and worship for Tang Dou. At a time when other forces have begun to restrict food, they, who look down on other forces, can let go of their bellies to eat, and the gratitude and pride are indescribable.
But the three daughters of Manda and the dozens of people involved in it have different feelings. Their personal participation also witnessed the "miracle created by the great Lord Nicholas", for Tang Dou, they are not only grateful and worshipped, but directly upgraded to faith.
Coupled with Manda, the "Pope" who believed in Tang Dou as a god from the beginning, this little splash has basically become a believer in Tang Dou - still a fanatical believer.
After the little banquet. Tang Dou found Manda, arranged a new task, and explained the requirement that he must keep it secret. Manda is a smart woman, and even more so, a woman who understands the situation. She knew very well that once the existence of the "Wasteland Rune Array" was exposed in the current workshop, it would definitely be divided up by the major forces, even if Tang Douzai was unable to stop it by himself.
So she cautiously accepted the task and immediately set about arranging.
Tang Dou found that Manda was really quite talented in this area, as long as she was given time to get used to it. She can even do better than herself in the future, so she lets Manda do it.
In fact, Manda didn't understand one thing, Tang Dou didn't have to open the desert talisman to keep it secret, if it was really leaked, he would directly transfer this rune array to Qianjimen, Quicksand Gate and Fengxian Gate, and it would not be him who had a headache at that time.
And in fact, he had already decided that after establishing the early advantage, he would hand over the Rune Array to several major friendship gangs. It's unrealistic to want to hold this kind of thing in your hands all the time.
Anyway, the Rune Array is only useful under such special conditions, and there is nothing too secret about it. Tang Dou was already studying how to carry out modular production now, and when the time came, he would be done with the modular rune array.
Moreover, the biggest trouble of the Rune Array is the energy consumption, Tang Dou has a good quality red sun stone, a source of life, and a well of spiritual energy, which other gangs do not have. So the advantage was still with him, and he wasn't afraid of the rune array being exposed at all.
Of course, the later he is exposed, the greater his advantage.
As night fell again, the atmosphere in Kinunu City that had begun to slowly become tense would not be changed by a gathering in the small workshop outside the city. However, the workshop has now become the hottest topic in the whole of Kinunu City, except for Martha Storm, and there will always be people who pay attention to it, and there will always be people who talk about it.
When Poleoza returned to the quicksand gate, Minami was waiting for him at the door.
"Father. Are you waiting for me?" Poleoza saw Minan and immediately trotted over quickly, squatting down, allowing his gaze to be parallel to Minan.
Minnan wasn't really short, at least not by human standards, but it was still too far away in front of Poleoza, since the big man had grown taller than Minnan a few years ago. The former has always maintained this squatting and talking posture - just like when the former was a child, Ming Nan has been squatting and talking to him.
"Tell me about Lord Nicholas today, I heard that you waited for more than an hour at Liemen Dusa's, and then came out without saying anything?"
"That's it, that damn Liemen Dusa, is so rude to Big Brother Nicholas, if it weren't for your father, and Big Brother Nicholas pulling me, I'd slap ......" The big man excitedly talked about everything that happened today, but there was nothing to say in Liemen Dusa, except for more than an hour of waiting, nothing substantial happened at all.
Ming Nan didn't expect the big man to say anything, but when he heard the latter relay the meaningful words that Tang Dou said to Liemen Dusa, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"What the hell is he trying to do?"
Poleoza didn't notice that his father-in-law's expression was abnormal, but pulled the topic to the banquet afterward, talking about the all-potato banquet, talking about Lin Xiao's craftsmanship, and while talking, his mouth watered, and then took out the two bags of potatoes that Tang Dou had wrapped for him before he left.
"By the way, father, this is what Big Brother Nicholas asked me to bring to my father. It is said that this small bag is used to deal with trouble, and this big bag is used to cause trouble!" The big man scratched his head in confusion: "What the hell does this mean? Brother Nicholas is good at everything, just like your father, he often says things that I don't understand!"
Ming Nan was stunned, and opened two paper bags, both of which were potatoes, one was boiled potatoes in plain water, and the other was a delicacy with both color and flavor.
Without thinking too much, Ming Nan first picked up the boiled potatoes and tasted them. The muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, he hadn't suffered before, but it was indeed the first time he had eaten such an unpalatable potato. Then he ate the dish made of the potatoes again, with his own sense. He was sure that the two things were made from the same ingredient, but the taste was very different.
"Trouble, trouble!" Ming Nan muttered to himself, figuring out what Tang Dou meant.
After a long time, he looked at Polerosa again: "Where did Lord Nicholas buy these fields? I remember that he didn't have them in the grain he bought before!"
Poleoza blinked, and the difficult question was a little inexplicable to him: "Dig out of the ground." I saw Master Nicholas' men working on the muddy ground. I guess it was just dug out of the ground!"
Ming Nan thought about it, and suddenly his pupils shrank: "Could it be that?"
Seeing that Minnan was deep in thought again, Poleoza took out another packet of baked potatoes from his bag, and he had just told Minnan that he was hungry, and he held a large paper bag in both hands and rolled it up with his nose to eat—the Elephant people still have the habit of being half-demons of the Elephant Clan, and they have a soft spot for the various ways in which their noses are used.
Ming Nan thought about it for half an hour, and finally patted his forehead, he didn't dare to draw a specific conclusion, so he could only put things aside. When he came back to his senses, he found that Poleoza was already asleep crouching in front of him. This big man is proportionally speaking, that is, what a human being looks like at ten years old, and he is still a child.
Looking at the face that was stained with baked potato oil, Ming Nan shook his head: "This kid!" said and took out a towel to wipe Poleroza's face.
Meanwhile.
The headquarters of the Thousand Machines Gate, which is close to the Demon Clan's controlled area - or should it be said, the headquarters of the Thousand Machines Gate is the dividing line between the human control area and the demon clan's controlled area.
A few dark shadows slowly approached the headquarters of the Thousand Machine Gate, under the high walls of the manor like a fortress in the city, in the darkness. Little by little, the shadow moved forward, slowly and carefully not attracting the attention of any of the Thousand Gate Patrol Officers.
These black shadows approached the headquarters of Qianjimen very smoothly, and then went all the way forward, approaching one of the most important facilities of Qianjimen. Outside the small courtyard where Xuanjizi is.
These black shadows didn't seem to have come to assassinate them, and after wandering outside the small courtyard of Xuanjizi for a while, they didn't know what they had left, and then they began to find out the headquarters of the Thousand Machine Gate the same way.
No one knew what these shadows were trying to do.
Of course, those black shadows didn't know that after they left the Thousand Machine Gate headquarters, there was a person who quietly followed behind. I followed these black shadows to the workshop outside the city.
There were still two miles away from the workshop, and the faint light of the fire from the towers of the workshop could be seen in the distance, and the man behind the black shadow suddenly paused and exclaimed, "Oops!"
Almost at the same time as his inaudible whisper sounded, the first few dark shadows fell down like unplugged robots.
Even the person who followed behind these black shadows didn't see any process, and these black shadows fell down so suddenly, silently!
The man behind him shook his head slightly, slowly raised his hands, and raised his voice slightly: "You don't plan to kill me, do you?"
If Tang Dou was here, he would definitely be able to hear this person's voice.
The master of the Thousand Machine Gate, Xuanjizi.
Not only did he spot the dark shadows sneaking in early, but he also pretended not to know anything, just to follow these guys to see what they wanted to do.
I didn't know that these guys had killed themselves and came to the workshop.
This workshop is not just Tang Dou's killer. There's a horrible guy here.
Xuan Jizi sighed helplessly, he didn't know why this person defended Tang Dou so much - although for some reason, he also defended Tang Dou, but when he met the one in front of him, he also had a headache.
In the face of Xuan Jizi's words, there was no response in the darkness.
"I just came with these guys, you should know that I don't have any ill will towards Tang Dou! Besides, if you want to be my opponent, you will definitely alarm Tang Dou! Although I don't know why you want to keep it a secret like this, I think you shouldn't want Tang Dou to know these things now, right?" Xuanjizi spoke very slowly and softly, as if he couldn't communicate with the people in the darkness without that.
Slowly, in front of Xuanjizi, in the brighter place between the two dark piles of earth and stones, a mass of ink-like things slowly surged from the ground, and then slowly formed a human figure.
A rather petite person, even with Xuanjizi's eyesight, could not see the person's appearance clearly, and could only see the pair of faint golden eyes like a cat in the dark.
Xuanjizi breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually not worried that the person in front of him would kill him, whether it was his identity or strength, he was not worried about this, but the problem was that the person in front of him was not very easy to communicate, except for someone who could order, most of the time others were ignored by the person in front of him.
"I was going to follow these guys and see what they were up to. Seeing the other party's figure, Xuanjizi also knew that she didn't have to worry about the other party's move, so she put down her hands, looked at those unlucky guys and sighed.
The head of the strongest gang in the dignified human control area personally followed a few sneaky people in the middle of the night, but the result was such a result, which was really depressing.
The shadow-like man didn't speak, just stared at Xuanjizi with faint golden cat eyes.
"I didn't know they were going to come here, if I knew, how could I have them come and kill you?" they tossed around outside my house for a while. I haven't dug up those listening runes yet!" If outsiders saw Xuanjizi's face and explained it in a hurry, they would be very surprised.
Xuanjizi, who is always like a gentleman and a gentleman, has always been known as the strongest person in the human control area, but now she is at a loss, explaining her actions to a shadow-like guy.
The person in front of him still didn't speak, and Xuanjizi really smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay." These people are ostensibly from the Beast King Sect, but they have an unclear relationship with the demon clan. If you want, just remind Tang Dou, the demon clan is starting to act!"
As soon as these words came out, it seemed that the other party was finally satisfied, and the shadow-like person scattered in an uproar, splashing on the ground like ink, and then silent.
Xuanjizi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, stepped forward to grab the corpses of those unlucky eggs, and quickly galloped into the distance: "What is this called, I still have to help collect the corpses, I knew that I wouldn't come by myself, let those little cubs under my command come!"
In the workshop.
In Tang Dou's room, Tang Dou, who was supposed to be resting, was rubbing a rune stone in his hand, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.) )
