Chapter 25 Simple Questions

"So, Mr. 'Not Human'. Give me a thousand gold coins and I'll guarantee you." Zhao Mai's vocabulary is not large, and he can only use such simple sentences to express his meaning.

Compared with the overall profits that can be brought by salt making, a thousand gold coins are not enough to exchange for a "secret recipe". If the "hype" is right, the big bag of salt on Zhao Mai's back can be sold for so much money.

But people cannot be blinded by gold coins, and become unable to see the true value of a thing. Filter it with dense woven fabric, absorb it with charcoal, and then cook it. It only took Zhao Mai three minutes to read. How much is it worth? Moreover, Zhao Mai did not agree to exclusively authorize the dwarf to use it, but sold the secret recipe a "copy". After the dwarf learned it and was about to start production, maybe Zhao Mai had found another ten merchants who were willing to pay this price.

In Zhao Mai's mind, the best way is to drive a taxi and sell a secret recipe along the road. Every time he arrives at a village, he doesn't have to spend more than one or two hundred gold coins. If he meets a lord, he will sell five hundred. When everyone cherishes his own treasures, Zhao Mai has long sold thousands of "secret recipes". He doesn't even need to dirty his hands, and he can make excess profits.

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

Ranger Carl calculated in his mind, thinking that a thousand gold coins are really not expensive. He lives a simple and self-sufficient life, is not sensitive to money, or making money will never occupy space in his mind. But this does not mean that he does not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and make judgments. The request made by the dwarf has hurt his authority as the owner of this place, just like an infringement of territory, but if this matter can be resolved with Mike's proposal, he will also respect Mike's ideas.

But the dwarf didn't think so. He didn't have a thousand gold coins, and he was even more unwilling to pay the money. "No, you can only leave here by leaving a secret recipe as a guarantee. There is no other way to choose."

Zhao Mai only understood the word "no", and Carl took a step forward, huddled his left hand behind, and grabbed the hilt of the sword on his back waist. All the animals near the Ranger's Tree became alert and gathered towards the dwarf with fierce light on his face. The dog meat quietly began to circumnavigate behind the dwarf, while the python crawled on the branches. After coming directly above the dwarf, he hung himself with his tail and began to slowly descend.

"This is my territory, you can't limit his freedom." Ranger Carl warned the dwarf: "You'd better make the way out, lest this matter become uncontrollable."

Wow, is it going to start a fight? Zhao Mai was more excited than anyone else, and he stood beside Carl with a lie, defending his own interests with the same hatred of the enemy. Unfortunately, the dwarf was not a fool. After turning his eyes around, he realized the situation and turned his face coldly, which was a way out.

This is not good for Zhao Mai. He hopes that the dwarf can get his brains and start fighting once he has a disagreement, so that he can use the power of a ranger to solve this problem. Since he has chosen to be a robber, please stick to it. What does it mean to let the road open? A promising profession has become hard to go up and cannot go down. Hanging in the air can't solve the actual problem. How can it be unhappy!

Now that you walk into the forest, you will inevitably face risks. Maybe the dwarf will not give up. But if you just turn around and drill the tree holes with the reserve grain, Zhao Mai feels too embarrassing. After walking halfway and not leaving, wouldn't that be the same as the dwarf?

The road was all trampled, and the lumps were flattened, and they didn't look like a man. Zhao Mai picked up the food from the ground and still clamored to store grain, clamped it under his armpit, and then walked past the dwarf with his middle finger.

The dwarf seemed to turn a blind eye, but just flicked his fingers on the side of his legs a few times, and there seemed to be a flash of stars. The reserve grain bared its teeth at the dwarf and screamed in a low voice. Zhao Mai touched its head and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, it's all within my expectations."

He walked into the woods with a swagger and then began to accelerate. Although the copycat version of the forest pass is a bit physically consuming, it can indeed increase the movement speed. If the dwarf's short legs run in the forest, it will definitely not be as convenient as himself.

While running, Zhao Mai was thinking about countermeasures in his mind. From the brief contact, Zhao Mai had analyzed a lot of things. Without any armor, he only wore a light short shirt, and had no muscles on his body. The biggest possibility of this dwarf is the caster. He used a magic wand instead of a holy badge, so both the mage and the warlock were possible, accounting for 50%. If you could know whether he brought a magic book or not, Zhao Mai could confirm the profession of the dwarf.

The entire race of dwarfs is most likely to produce illusionists. Although this cannot guarantee that the other party must be an illusionist, Zhao Mai also needs to be alert in his heart. There are many categories under illusion, including sensory hallucinations, spiritual hallucinations, phantom hallucinations and shadow hallucinations. Sensory hallucinations affect the five senses, and spiritual hallucinations directly project signals to the brain. Phantom hallucinations are deeper, and by affecting the subconscious, the subject can "brain" the plot. Shadow hallucinations use energy to create semi-real objects to simulate the feelings brought to people by the real world.

However, the casting of Phantom Illusion and Ghost Illusion is more complicated, and only skilled casters can master it. If the dwarf can cast this level of spell, Zhao Mai will surrender immediately.

In fact, Zhao Mai didn't want to lose his life for a salt-making method. If the dwarf could fly and would throw fireballs, he decided to surrender immediately and take the salt-making method. Perhaps when the two of them "kindly" exchanged three-year plans for the salt-making industry, new opportunities would arise?

But I think this kind of crisis should not happen. Although Zhao Mai has no practical experience, he is extremely familiar with the various messy settings in the fantasy world. So far, whether it is the old ranger or the orc, the strength they showed is within Zhao Mai's expectations, and there is nothing he cannot explain. As long as this situation can be maintained, Zhao Mai will have the confidence to fight back.

First of all, you must choose an environment that you are familiar with, and then keep every grass and tree in your heart to avoid being deceived by illusions. In fact, illusions often have loopholes. As long as you calm down, you can always find it slowly. It is just that there are few conditions to calm down. The best battlefield is actually next to a taxi, and you are absolutely safe in the car. Unfortunately, you need to travel for at least one day to go back to the lake, and he will not be able to get there before dark.

Starting from the time he left, Ranger Carl can hold the dwarf for at least two or three hours, and then he may start chasing. When he is about to part, the dwarf must have used some magic on himself to track it, so he cannot pin his expectations on his opponent's inability to find him.

The most suitable travel spell in the current environment is undoubtedly the flight spell, which means turning into a fraudulent subsidence tactic. If you believe that your luck is not so good and the dwarf cannot fly, then he will definitely summon a mount to rush.

The horse cannot run in the jungle, but there is no problem with riding a dog, and the small size of a dwarf riding a dog is just right. This has become a problem of chasing problems. A starts first and moves at XX; B goes in the same direction afterwards, and the speed is faster than A. YY. When will the two meet...
