Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Small Purchases (Part 1)
The motorcade drove safely out of the wasteland without wolves Excuse me, but no wild sheep were encountered either. Rusiga once proposed to go hunting in the big wasteland, whether it is ducks, rabbits or sheep, it can greatly improve everyone's food.

"There's Neil in the team," Rusiga said. "This land belongs to Jiangu City, and the Neil family has the final say, so take him -- even if he's just an adopted son -- to patrol the clan meeting. The soldiers can't say anything."

In his heart, Dagon agreed with the proposal, but he was very careful to say nothing, waiting for Gerros to make up his mind. The team leader thought for a while, spat at least twenty eye sockets, and then shook his head. He didn't give the reason for the refusal, and Luxiga didn't ask. The former seemed to be unnecessary, and the latter seemed to be useless. In short, the team still eats food with a long shelf life, plus wild vegetables dug along the roadside.

When he just left Jiangu City, Dagon thought he would see a colorful world. After three weeks, he already understood that the daily life outside is also full of repetition and dullness. The so-called colorful can only be found and created by himself. Following the caravan, he learned from these people how to set up camp, learn to avoid potholes on the road, learn to go to the roadside to collect food while maintaining the speed of the car, and learn to use the shortest sleeping time to restore spirits. At dusk, he would follow the dwarf brother to learn to check the condition of the car, and even do some simple carpentry carving.

In the evenings, he would keep vigil while cultivating, and sometimes he would take out "Turn gas into stone" and read it several times. With the improvement of algebraic ability, he began to feel that some of the theories in the book were problematic. The author seemed to underestimate the speed of change of numbers as the cycle progressed. As Reid said, some of the conclusions in the book are imaginary rather than meticulously argued.

Being able to spot the mistakes of his predecessors gave Dagon hope of completing the Spiritual God mission. Many theories in "Turn gas into stone" have directly influenced the cultivation method of later generations of Jiangu clansman. If this book can be completed correctly, its influence will be very far-reaching. At the same time, Dagon also found that he really lacked in computing power, so he focused more on learning from Red. But he also had one more question: Why not let Rhett improve the cultivation method?

For this question, Rhett only said that he was not suitable, and he didn't talk about everything else. "You still have time to take care of me? Have you learned about triangles? Do you want me to test you?"

Dagon was most afraid of Rhett's test for him, not only algebra, but also martial skills. In this Soul Spirit middle realm, he was once cut in half by Reid, and now the battle is still the same conclusion, which makes it difficult for him to understand. Rhett, how can it be more powerful than the weapon master? Even the father admits that Dagon is already very good, and it takes some effort and careful handling to overcome, but Reid always solves it with one stroke and never drags its feet.

It's so powerful, but when Dagon asks Reid for his martial skill, he will be sternly rejected and sarcastic. "Tell you, your martial skills are useless, except for strengthening your body and increasing your reaction speed, they are completely useless! I won't teach you useless things, don't be so greedy."

Thinking about it, Dagon also felt a little greedy. Jiangu clansman, who is the same age as him, will not learn this and that, but will concentrate on only one craft. All Jiangu clansman is like this, hone a kung fu for a lifetime, only then have the best weapon craftsman, rune master and weapon master in the world.

"My requirements are different from others. I ask you to learn more and master more." Reid will move out the mission of Jiangu gods at this time. "If you want to improve mana cultivation and rune incantation, then you must learn more and know the various problems of your predecessors in order to prescribe the right medicine. You have a kind of greed in the bones, and it will be good for you to lead it to knowledge. "

Learning, studying hard, knowledge is arming Dagon's mind, but the change is not apparent from the outside. People in the Golden Dog Caravan thought Dagon was a curious, hard-working and enthusiastic man, calling him "Prince the Dwarf" less often and more often by his first name. In this way, going north, there are more pastures on both sides of the road, more sheep and Jiangu herdsmen, and cheese is also seen in the breakfast of the convoy. Ahead of the road, just between the hills and the canyon, the northeastern border of the Jiangu nation—Jianmabao—appeared in sight.

"Go over here and into human territory, where the hills are smoother and there are more plains." Toby, sitting beside Dagon, pointed his toes to the flattery stock, and said, "These horses are from Bought from that area. There was a time when the human cavalry tried to attack the dwarves' country, and wanted to go to the mountains to snatch gold, silver, coal and iron. They failed to break through the castle, and the dead horses piled up into mountains, so the place was renamed Trapped Horses Fort."

"And what about the riders?"

"They must all be dead, too. But if it's called the Fortress, then there will be endless wars here every year. No more." Toby shook his legs and said with a smile: "People will take revenge for others, and they won't lose their lives for Ma Bai."

It sounds reasonable, but it's actually a problem. Jiangu clansman of Marburg, Dagon knew the real reason. "The four-legged horses are dead, and the two-legged people have no chance to run. The intruder will be eliminated, and the horse trap is a warning."

After finally reaching the town, the convoy will meet Stay here for three days. You left the kingdom of dwarves when you left the horse trap, so now is the last chance to replenish the specialties of dwarves. The Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce has a purchasing station in Jammabao, where two Jiangu merchants maintain their operations, buying goods that are easy to store, transport and have good transaction value from their compatriots. At the same time, they also receive letters and parcels according to the route of the caravan, which is also a good income.

Dagon got his bounty, two hundred gold coins on the book, but actually one hundred and forty, plus the equivalent to sixty gold coins of creditor's rights. Toby and Maipu came together to invite Dagon to collect debts. They believed that a long-handled tomahawk could greatly combat and eliminate the idea of renege on a debt.

"The thief was still standing and his head flew." Toby said with a smile: "You are the most handsome warrior I have ever seen!"

Dagon declined With this proposal, he didn't want to be a debt collector. He also doesn't want to be an executioner, and he doesn't want to kill someone without the spirit and ability to resist, even if he is a criminal. As a warrior, he has long been ready to kill. More precisely, he can risk his own life to take the lives of others for the sake of his family, home, justice and honor. He is not a killer or a murderer.

"Don't mention my beheading. Chrollo is not a qualified opponent, and there was no bright spot in that battle. Killing him is mainly because I respect the authority of the leader of Gerros in the team, so you guys If there's a compliment, he should."

Toby, apparently not expecting this, scratched his ear in embarrassment. "I thought you'd be willing to keep a vigil for a Silver Coin, and you'd be willing to experience the work of debt collection. If you don't want to, forget it, but what are you going to do these three days? The big bottle gourd tavern won't cheat the Chamber of Commerce. Man, I recommend you go there."

"I'll buy something. If you leave here, there will be no Jiangu towns, and it will be difficult to buy the tools I am familiar with."

That's not an excuse, it's what Dagon really thinks. When he leaves Jiangu City, he misses his parents; when he leaves Zhangmabao, he misses the whole strong society. On the other hand, suddenly he has pocket money of 140 gold coins in his hand, and he will definitely have the urge to shop. Along the way, he followed the team and became familiar with the life of the team, and he had new ideas on what to buy.

Ask several Jiangu clansman and they all recommend black coal grocery stores. The shop insists on building its walls with stone, and the roof is supported in the same way as a dwarf mine, giving Dagon a homely and familiar feel. The shop is run by the Tonghao family, that is, the Tonghao siblings plus their father whose last name is Olison.

"I haven't seen a guy who changed Olison from his last name to his middle name...well, never heard of it." Olison's manager is a shirtless man wearing suspenders, shoulders and Jiangu clansman, a strong, hairy arm, rests one arm on the counter and looks Dagon up and down with both eyes. "You seem to be a real Neil. You haven't been in the sun much, and you have the dampness and coldness of a coal mine. What, the lockdown of Jiangu City has been lifted?"

Dagon shook his head, His expression was a little dejected, which made Manager Olison probably understand.

"I'm going out to buy some things for the road." Dagon took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and carefully unfolded it, the charcoal writing on it was a little mutilated. "I need Earth Dragon herbal tea..."

"Needless to say, is there volcanic salt, red poisonous horseradish, and white goblin silver scotch ball behind it?"

"Yes, It's these things. How do you know?"

"When you go to other places, you will miss the things at home. But the longing in your heart is easy to relieve, and this stomach is not obedient..." said the manager Olison. : "Jiangu clansman, a businessman running around outside, summed up four things, which is what you just said. One or two pieces of Earth Dragon herbal tea, boiled and soaked, put a pinch of volcanic salt in it, so that It can greatly relieve the acclimatization and help digest food. The red poisonous horseradish is placed in the white goblin's silver funnel, and it is put in when cooking. The light spicy taste released can make you feel like eating hometown dishes, and it can also help digestion. . These four things are a complete set, but only Jiangu clansman who has been away for a long time knows. Who told you?"

"Lusiga Gonte of the Golden Dog Caravan, she is the team My cook."

"It's that woman. It's a pity, I wanted to pursue her when I was young, but I'm an Olison and she doesn't like it. But she shouldn't follow that The idiot went to Dahuangpo to farm and raise sheep, but he lost his name and lost his husband." The store manager rubbed his cheeks with his hairy hands, as if to drive away unpleasant memories. "Youngster, these four things are easy to handle, and they are all ready-made. Did the cook let you buy booklets in Simplified and Dwarven languages?"

"Well, there is this thing called "General Purpose" "Five Hundred Languages"."

"She asked you to buy 'Five Hundred'? It seems that she thinks you are a very good person, and she recommends the most appropriate and suitable things for you." Olison store manager laughed , said: "In this case, I will also give you the real thing and the real price. Is there anything else you need on that list?"
