Chapter 51: Dantang's bet

As soon as the Minotaur said this, everyone in the hall was stunned, especially the Jackal Demon.

The head of Dantang, this position is not big, it is not small, maybe there will not be much military power or other rights in his hands, but nominally speaking, it is already a self-contained system, independent of other leaders of Chigang.

"Dan Hall Master?" said the jackal demon puzzled.

The minotaur nodded: "Yes, the head of the Dan Hall, I know that you are not good at pills, but don't worry about anything wrong, I will watch it myself." ”

"This ......" the jackal demon frowned, he was about to ask this question, but it was just difficult to speak, but he didn't think that the minotaur seemed to see what he meant, and this was the answer that the jackal demon didn't want to hear.

Directly under the management of the Minotaur, this is not only independent of the other Chigang leaders, but independent of several forces in Chigang. As long as the Minotaur has an additional meaning, the status of the head of Dantang can be said to be only under the four kings of Chigang, similar to the five kings.

"Big brother, this is not appropriate!" The black roe deer demon once again rarely agreed with the jackal demon.

The minotaur shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with that, I made this decision after careful consideration." The real strong will not depend on the elixir, but for war, the elixir can play a pivotal and even decisive role. ”

Then he stood up and looked at the Blue Wolf Demon, the Black Roe Demon and the Jackal Demon and said, "Although this battle is a small victory for me in Chigang, I am not satisfied with the result. The Horse-Faced King was already a defeated general under me, but he still had a calculating or unintentional intention, and according to my expectations, he could have been beaten back to the Golden Light Lord to be a guard again. ”

The jackal demon shook his head: "Although the power of Malinpo is still there, if my guess is correct, the Golden Light Leader will either recall the Horse-faced King back and change someone to rule here, or send someone over to overthrow the Horse-faced King and make him a puppet, and he will no longer have real power." ”

The horse-faced king was originally used by the Golden Light Lord to fight the Minotaur, but this time he was almost wiped out, although the Golden Light Lord's follow-up measures barely stabilized the situation, but it was already a loss.

Judging from the final result, the horse-faced king is no longer enough to continue to fight against Chigang in terms of ability or success or failure.

The minotaur nodded: "You're right, I think so too." But because of this, I, Chigang, need this Dantang even more. The people sent by Lord Jinguang are definitely not comparable to the Horse-Faced King, and because of the results of this battle, the people who come will definitely think about making some achievements to get the appreciation of Lord Jinguang. ”

"In the days to come, the pressure on me will be greater than in the past, and the fighting will be more frequent. Even if we can go one step further and defeat Marinmpo among the new Marimpo rulers, it doesn't mean that it will get better. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, took out a map and hung it in the air, pointed to a few places on the map with his big hand, and said loudly: "Different from Jinwan, Longjingtai, Dongjing and Taohualing, the geographical location of our Chigang determines that we can't be in a small battle with them. ”

Looking at what the minotaur was pointing at, plus there was a map to demonstrate, Zhaoming immediately knew what the minotaur was going to say.

Several places such as Jinwan, Longjingtai, Dongjing, and Taohualing are all subordinate to the forces of Nanlongdong, but the difference is that they all only border the forces of Nanlongdong, while Chigang has half of the territory bordering the forces of Beixi Lake.

There are many kinds of demon clans, such as special demon clans such as Zhaoming and Shura, as well as grass and tree demon clans and insect demon clans, but in general, they are divided into three major branches: beasts, scale armor and birds.

Due to some reasons that are not very clear from the period of the Battle of the Dragon and Phoenix, the relationship between the Scaly Demon Clan and the Beast Demon Clan has not been very good, so the Dragon General of the Southern Dragon Cave and the Golden Light Lord of Beixi Lake have always hated each other.

In this way, Chigang, which is located at the junction of the two major forces, will inevitably face the impact of the forces under the command of Beixi Lake. Now the Golden Light Lord can't pull his face, so he only lets the Horse-faced King compete with Chigang. But once Chigang began to gain an absolute advantage, or became as powerful as other forces, the reaction of the Golden Light Lord was no longer as gentle as it was now.

Sure enough, the Minotaur Demon meant exactly that, looking at the Green Wolf Demon, the Black Roe Demon and the Jackal Demon and said: "With the lord's care, our Chigang will definitely not decay in the internal fighting in my Nanlong Cave, and it will inevitably become an important arrangement for the lord to clash with Beixi Lake, so no matter what the reason, my Chigang must improve its combat effectiveness in a short period of time as much as possible." ”

Listening to what the Minotaur said, several kings were silent, and after a while, the green wolf demon spoke: "Big brother, what you said is right, but the improvement of my Chigang's strength depends on a little demon in the empty underworld, isn't it too simple to think?"

The Black Roe Demon and the Jackal Demon nodded, and at the same time agreed: "Although the intermediate elixir is still somewhat useful, it is still too low-level after all, and if you want to determine the outcome of the battlefield, I am afraid it is far from enough." ”

"Haha!" the minotaur laughed: "Naturally it won't be that simple, this is just one of the means of promotion, and you don't underestimate Zhaoming." Since he dared to tell me that he was good at alchemy, he must have some ability. Now that his strength is not enough, he can only refine intermediate pills, but give him some time, and when his strength improves, he will naturally be able to refine high-grade pills, and even better pills such as yellow-grade and Xuan-grade. ”

"If the eldest brother needs pills, we can find Dongdushan to buy some, why set up such a pill hall that can only refine intermediate pills for a long time!" said the black deer demon again.

The demon clan is not good at alchemy, but it is not all. The grass and tree demon clan was born from herbs, so they are very good at the way of elixir. The lord of Dongdushan is a 10,000-year-old vine demon, who has lived for I don't know how many 10,000 years, although he himself is not good at alchemy, but there are many grass and wood demon clans under him who are good at alchemy, so he has become the exclusive force that buys and sells pills in the Skyrim Ridge.

The minotaur shook his head: "You're wrong, let's not say that the Dongdushan pill is expensive, we can't buy much at all." Even if we can buy a lot, we can't put the key to our own lives in the hands of others. We should have our own alchemist, and Zhaoming is what I want. ”

"Your Majesty, think twice, this ...... This...... This can't convince the public!" The jackal demon still found it difficult to accept.

In public and private, he didn't want to appear in such a Dantang, and let Zhaoming be the master.

"The king......" The black roe demon was also unwilling.

"Needless to say!" The green wolf demon shook his head and said, "I agree with what the eldest brother said, we should have our own alchemists in Chigang." ”

After a pause, he said to the Minotaur: "But what the fourth said is not unreasonable, a demon clan in the Empty Netherworld period is in charge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Therefore, Zhaoming must come up with certain results within a certain period of time, otherwise I can't agree with this matter. ”

The minotaur frowned and was about to speak, but Zhaoming hurriedly said: "I don't know what the results of the second king are, and what do I need to do?"

Although he was also surprised that the Minotaur would suddenly make such a decision, he sensed that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to greatly reduce the threat of the Jackal Demon to himself.

After this period of contact, he has determined that the jackal demon will not make peace with himself, even so, it is better to increase his position in the heart of the minotaur, so that he does not dare to treat himself lightly.

And maybe when his status reaches a certain level, it will not be himself who wants to make peace, but the jackal demon.

Some things may not be completely passively accepted, and things that have necessary value should be actively pursued. As long as the Green Wolf Demon's request is not too excessive, he is determined to succeed in this Dantang master.

The green wolf demon was not polite, and said directly: "It's not how I want you to be, but how you should be." You can only refine mid-grade pills, and if the quality is not good, you can only look at the quantity. In half a year, refining two hundred furnaces of pills, I won't say anything. ”

Half...... Two hundred furnaces of pills, Zhao Ming frowned, this is still difficult for him, with his current ability, it is quite difficult to refine one hundred and eighty furnaces.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the green wolf demon say: "Don't think I'm very harsh, to put it bluntly, two hundred furnace pills, less than eight thousand, for my Chigang army, it's just a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't mean much, it's purely to prove that you have the potential of a high-level alchemist." ”

Zhaoming took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Okay, just two hundred furnaces!"

It's hard to do it under normal circumstances, but that doesn't mean you can't do it. Challenging his limits, Zhaoming suddenly had some expectations.

The minotaur immediately laughed: "Okay, that's the case, it's decided." The news of Dantang is temporarily suppressed, and when Zhaoming's alchemy is finished, I will officially announce it!"

"Wait, King!" Zhao Ming said again, "I still have one condition. ”

Before the minotaur could answer, the jackal demon shouted, "You can still put forward conditions, what kind of character do you really think of?"

Zhaoming didn't hear it, but just said to the minotaur: "King, if you want to set up a Dan Hall, if you want me to do such alchemy, you must give me a place!"

"Where, you say!" asked the minotaur.

"Red Light Flame Wave Stone Cave!"

"Who are you, that is the place that the prince handed over to me Chigang to manage, and even the king can't dispose of it casually. The jackal demon immediately scolded.

Zhaoming shook his head: "I don't want the Red Light Flame Wave Stone, but the power of the earth fire inside." With the help of the power of earth and fire inside, I can increase the success rate of alchemy by at least one percent, several times the alchemy speed, otherwise I won't be able to do this bet at all. As for the Red Light Flame Wave Stone, how much the prince needs, I will make up for the shortcomings. ”

The jackal demon wanted to say something, but was stopped by the minotaur: "Needless to say, that's all." In the future, the Red Light Flame Wave Stone Mine will be managed by you, and all the guards there will be assigned to the name of Dantang. ”

As soon as these words came out, the black roe demon's face immediately turned dark green.
