Chapter 67 Small Purchases (Part 1)

The convoy drove out of the great wasteland safely, without disturbing wolves, but did not encounter wild sheep. Luciga once proposed to hunt in the great wasteland, whether it was ducks, rabbits or sheep, it could greatly improve everyone's food.

"There is a Neil in the team," said Rusiga. "This land is from the ancient city, and the Neil family has the final say, so I can't say anything with him, even if he is just an adopted son, the patrolman of the clan meeting."

In his heart, Dagon agreed with this proposal, but he was very cautious and said nothing, waiting for Geros to make a decision. The leader of the convoy thought carefully for a while, vomited at least twenty circles, and then shook his head. He did not give a reason for rejection, and Luciga did not ask. The former seemed unnecessary, and the latter seemed to be useless. In short, the convoy still ate long shelf life food, plus the wild vegetables dug up by the roadside.

When he just left Jian Gucheng, Dagon thought he would see a colorful world. Three weeks later, he already understood that the daily life outside was also full of repetition and boredom. The so-called colorfulness can only be found and created by himself. Following the caravan, he learned to set up camps from these people, learn to bypass potholes on the road, learn to collect food on the road while maintaining the speed, and learn to use the shortest sleep time to restore his spirit. At dusk, he would follow the dwarf brothers to learn to check the condition of the car, and even do some simple carpentry carvings.

At night, he practiced while vigilant, and sometimes he would take out "Transforming Qi into Stone" and read it several times. As his algebraic ability improved, he began to feel that some theories in the book were problematic, and the author seemed to underestimate the speed of change of numbers when they were cyclically advanced. As Reid said, some of the conclusions in the book were imagined, rather than carefully proofreading.

The ability to discover the mistakes of his predecessors gave Dagon a hope of completing the divine mission. Many theories in "Transforming Qi into Stone" directly influenced the cultivation methods of the Jiangu people in later generations. If this book can be completed correctly, its impact will be very far-reaching. At the same time, Dagon also found that he did have a great lack of computing power, so he focused on learning from Rhett. However, he also had another question: Why not let Rhett improve his cultivation methods?

Regarding this question, Reed only said that he was not suitable, and kept silent about everything else. "Do you still have time to care about me? Have you learned the triangle? Do you want me to test you?"

Dagon was most afraid that Reed was taking exams on him, not only algebra, but also martial arts. In this soul-stricken world, he was once cut in half by Reed, but now the battle is still the same conclusion, which makes him difficult to understand. How could Reed be more powerful than a weapon master? Even his father admitted that Dagon was already very good and needed some effort and careful handling to defeat him, but Reed always solved it with one knife and never dragged it out.

It's obviously so powerful, but when Dagon asks Rhet for martial arts, he will be sternly rejected and sarcastic. "Tell you, your martial arts 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."

After thinking about it carefully, Dagong also felt a little greedy. The Jiangu people of his age would not learn this and that, but would focus on one craft. All Jiangu people were like this, and they would practice a skill for a lifetime, so that they could 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 them more." Rhet will bring out the tasks of the ancient gods at this time. "If you want to improve your magic power and rune spells, you must learn more and know the various problems of your predecessors in order to prescribe the right medicine. There is a kind of greed in your bones, and guiding it to knowledge will be of great benefit to you."

While studying and studying hard, knowledge is arming Dagon's mind, but this change cannot be seen from the outside. The people in the Golden Dog Caravan think Dagon is a curious, diligent and enthusiastic person. He calls him "Dwarf Prince" less and calls him more by name. In this way, he goes north, with more pastures on both sides of the road, more flocks of sheep and Jiangu herders, and cheese is seen in the breakfast of the convoy. In front of the road, just at the edge of the hills and canyons, the northeastern border of the Jiangu country - the Sanma Fort - appeared in sight.

"After passing here, we enter the human territory, where the hills are more gentle and the plains are more plains." Toby sat beside Dagon, pointed his toes at the horse's butt, and said, "These horses were bought from that area. There was a time when human cavalry tried to attack the dwarf's kingdom, trying to rob gold, silver and coal and iron in the mountains. They failed to break through the castle, and the dead horses piled up into mountains, so they changed their name to the Chaser Horse Fort."

"What about the horse riders?"

"It must have been dead, and it will be a mountain. But if it is called the Hidden Fort, then there will be wars here every year, endless." Toby shook his legs and said with a smile: "People will avenge people, and they will not lose their lives for horses."

It sounds very reasonable, but after actually asking the Jiangu people of the Tanma Fort, Dagon knew the real reason. "A horse with four legs died, and the two legs had no chance to run away. The invaders were more eliminated, and the Tanma Fort was a warning."

After finally reaching the town, the convoy would stay here for three days. Leaving Qianma Fort, he left the dwarf's country. Now is the last opportunity to replenish dwarf's specialties. The Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce has a purchasing station in Qianma Fort, where two Jiangu merchants maintain their operations, purchasing 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 caravan's path, which is also a good income.

Dagon received his bounty, the 200 gold coins on his book, but in fact he got one hundred and forty, plus the debt equivalent to sixty gold coins. Toby and Maipu came together to invite Dagon to collect debts. They believed that a long-handled battle axe could greatly hit and eliminate the idea of ​​not paying back the debt.

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

Dagon refused this proposal. He did not want to be a debt collector. He also did not want to be an executioner. He did not want to kill people who had no resistance spirit and ability, even if he was a criminal. As a warrior, he had already been prepared to kill people. To be more precise, he could gamble on his own life for his family, home, justice and honor, and take away other people's lives. He was not a killer or murderer.

"Don't mention the fact that I cut people's heads. Cloro is not a qualified opponent, and there is no highlight in that battle. I killed him mainly because I respect the authority of Leader Jerros in the convoy, so if you want to praise him, you should praise him."

Toby obviously didn't expect this, and he scratched his ears awkwardly. "I thought you were willing to watch over a silver coin and would also be willing to experience the debt collection work. Since you don't want it, then forget it, but what are you going to do in these three days? The Big Calabash Tavern will not cheat the people of the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce. I recommend you to go there."

"I buy something. Without this, there will be no town of Jiangu tribe, and it will be difficult to buy tools that I am familiar with."

This is not an excuse, but Dagon's true thoughts. When he left Jian Gucheng, he missed his parents; when he left Qianma Fort, he would miss the entire Jian Guo society. On the other hand, suddenly, he suddenly had a hundred and forty gold coins in his hand, and he would definitely have the urge to shop. He followed the convoy along the way and became familiar with the life of the convoy, and he had new ideas about what to buy.

I asked several Jiangu people, and they all recommended the Black Coal Grocery Store. This store insisted on building walls with stones, and the roof was supported like the Dwarf mine, giving Dagon a friendly and familiar feeling. The one who runs this store is Tonghao's family, that is, Tonghao's brother and sister, plus their surname is Olisen's father.

"I have never seen a guy who changed Olison from a surname to a middle name... Well, I have never heard of it." Manager Olison is a strong Jiangu tribe with naked upper body wearing suspenders and hairy shoulders and arms. He supported one arm on the counter and looked at Dagon with his eyes up and down. "You seem to be a Neil. You haven't seen much sun, and you're covered in the body with a wet and coldness of the mine. Why, the lockdown order of Jiangu City was lifted?"

Dagon shook his head, his expression was a little depressed, which also made the store manager Olison roughly understand.

"I'm going to go far and buy some things for the road." Dagon took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket and spread it carefully. The charcoal pen on it was already a bit incomplete. "I need the dilong herbal tea..."

"Needless to say, are there volcanic salt, red horseradish and white fairy silver leaking balls behind?"

"Yes, these things are. How do you know?"

"When you go to other places, you will think of things at home. But the thoughts in your heart are easy to relieve, and the stomach is disobedient..." Manager Olison said: "The Jiangu people who are running around outside have summarized four things, which are what you just said. One or two slices of diarrhea tea, boil them in water, and add a small handful of volcanic salt to them. This can greatly alleviate the discomfort in the water and soil and help digest food. Red horseradish is placed in the white fairy silver leak ball, and put it in when cooking. The light spicy taste released can make you feel like eating your hometown dishes and can also help digestion. These four things are set, but only Jiangu people who have been away for a long time know. Who told you?"

"Luciga Gongte of Golden Dog Caravan, she is the chef of the team."

"It turned out to be that woman. It's a pity. I wanted to pursue her when I was young, but I was an Olison, and she looked down upon her. But she shouldn't have followed the idiot to farm and raise sheep, but she lost her name and husband." The store manager rubbed his cheeks with his hairy hands, as if to drive away unpleasant memories. "Young man, these four things are easy to deal with, and they are all ready-made. Did the cook ask you to buy simplified and dwarf booklets?"

"Well, there is this thing called "The Common Word Five Hundred"."
