Chapter 24

Zhao Mai looked through the dictionary and finally explained the whole story. How the orc Thoreau spits in his eyes, how he sneaks after being injured, how he wants to strangle himself. It took a long time to finish all this, and then he waited for Carl to ask a question. But the old Ranger said nothing and went out in silence.

He didn't believe it, and Zhao Mai realized it. People always have doubts about things they haven't seen with their own eyes, and there will be problems in their hearts. The normal process should be to ask questions, according to the narrator's answer, gradually form their own judgment. But the Ranger Carl does not ask questions, which shows that he has formed a subjective answer. For Zhao Mai's question, it's just a passing, and he can't listen to it at all.

Zhao Mai and his grain reserves were soon left in the tree hole, and the latter was still sleeping on his back. Zhao Mai gently held the dog in his arms and stroked his belly with his hand. He woke up with a shiver, then turned over and licked Zhao Mai's fingers.

"You always trust me and help me." Zhao Mai seriously said to the dog: "believe me, even if no one depends on us, nothing can trap us. As long as I have a bite to eat, you won't be hungry. "

Reserve grain barked twice, it always seems to have infinite confidence.

Zhao Mai pondered for a while. If he was in the position of Ranger Carl, he would not feel good about a man who had made a mess of everything in just two days. If you stay here, it won't do you much good. Besides, Zhao Mai doesn't think he can afford to ask Carl to teach his martial arts skills. Now it's hard to say a few words.

He decided to leave here and go where there are more people. Although he has no talent and even lost his spare tire shield, he is not without special skills. In the face of grain reserves, he asked the boa constrictor to take a road. Zhao Mai carried back a sack of coarse salt from the cave.

The next step is to work hard, grinding, boiling water, filtering and boiling salt. Zhao Mai's T-shirt is completely scrapped. It's the same as a mop on the body, especially the itching sensation that irritates the skin. It's not suitable for wearing. However, this dress brought more than ten kilos of refined salt. It's a parting gift for Carl to leave two kilos. The rest should be exchanged for a lot of money in the town.

Although it's a little sad, but out of courtesy is still to say goodbye. Ranger Carl thought that "Mike" would leave, but did not expect that he would come to say goodbye. The etiquette and code of conduct from the ancient oriental countries are moving and respecting for people like Karl. He put down the salt bag, and then he took out a set of equipment and gave it to Zhao Mai.

They include a leather armour, a dagger, a one handed axe and a wooden iron shield. Although these are not new objects, they are enough for Zhao Mai.

Gnome mage grins Mumu is not interested in these weapons at all. He stares at the bag of refined salt. White with a trace of cyan, the quality and the spirit of alchemy salt. Even if the package in front of you is as much as two catties, it is enough to qualify as a auction item in an auction. Look at the pricked leather bag behind the boy. There should be more than ten jin in it. It's a great fortune.

Even the Rangers don't know. Now the dwarf village has begun to contact with the outside world, but they still keep their location secret. With the increase of the population of the village, the demand for land is also increasing, and the coverage of protective enchantment must be expanded. However, there are not enough people in the village to cast spells, and there are not enough resources to maintain the border. Dwarfs are born short and lack strength and speed. They have no advantage in the face of any wild animals. A leopard cat can kill many dwarfs in the village. The border is their only security barrier.

Gradually, the village is becoming more and more crowded, and relying on planting and collecting alone is not enough to maintain the living standard of the past. In order to prevent the dwarfs from living in prison, they began to consciously contact with the outside world, using some of their "gadgets" to exchange needed materials and supplement the needs of the village.

Just like the commercial talent of human beings, dwarfs have a strong advantage in magic. The things they make with magic - most of them are toys - sell well, which is much easier than working hard in the field for a year.

However, as long as there is communication, even if it is only a narrow channel, the outside world has gradually affected the original quiet life of the dwarf village, and Greene Mumu is one of the big changes in thinking. He used magic to change his appearance. By secretly following the caravan, he saw the prosperity of the human world and knew the power of money.

With gold coins, he can buy more magic scrolls and more powerful magic wands, and the dwarf village can have more resources to expand, so as to change the dilemma of being trapped in the dense forest. If he can accomplish all this, he can become a hero of the village, even an elder, and lead the village to prosperity and strength.

In order to achieve this just and grand goal, he is ready to do his best, even if he gives everything. When he saw the fine salt, he knew his chance had come. The salt cave in healthy forest is no secret. The mineral salt in it is very bad and the cost of detoxification is very high. Dwarf himself has made some, and the cost is not directly proportional to the product. The pain of guarding the salt mine is deep into the bone marrow. If we could have a high-level master in charge of the village, the situation might be better. But nine out of ten dwarfs are illusionists, and most illusions are deceptive, which can't change the nature of things.The young man in front of him is able to make a lot of fine salt, which the dwarf has already confirmed. What's the difference between making gold coins and mining gold coins? The dwarf doesn't understand that scarcity is the most important thing. He only knows that the more he makes, the more money he has.

"You can't leave." The dwarf interrupted the two people who were saying goodbye with gestures and simple common language, and suddenly said.

The Ranger frowned and looked at the dwarf: "it's none of your business."

"He knows I'm here and will expose the relationship between the village and the Ranger after I leave. Then someone will know that you can find our village through you, which is likely to endanger the safety of the village. "

"I won't reveal the location of your village, and it's nothing to do with Mike."

Zhao Mai can't keep up with their conversation completely, but it doesn't mean he can't feel the change of atmosphere. He asked the Ranger, "what does this man want?"

Greene's physical strength is good enough, said directly: "I am a dwarf, not a person, pay attention to your wording. If you want to leave, you can, but you need a guarantee. You look very poor. You might as well mortgage your salt making technology. If we hear about the dwarf within a certain period of time, the collateral will be ours. "

Because of excitement, the dwarf spoke quickly and quickly. If it wasn't for the Ranger Carl to explain slowly, Zhao Maigen would not have understood.

Looking at the dwarf's red cheeks, Zhao Mai laughed angrily. Even if it's a robbery, at least you have to have a strong man with five big and three rough, bare upper body and a hatchet. It's better to match the lines like "this mountain is my driving". A small bean, with his hair and hat not as long as his legs, can't touch his face without overlapping words. How can he get the confidence to rob himself? With that chopstick like wand?
