Zhao Mai dropped what he had in his hand, zigzagged to the shelter, and picked up the shield and dagger on the ground. Although the shed behind him is full of holes, it can provide him with some protection. Even if it's just spiritual protection, it's still very helpful for a traveler in an alien world.
Compared with his caution and vigilance, the reserve food is more exciting. If the dog feels the danger, it will make a defensive posture, generally crouching in the front, standing up on the back, bared teeth and growling. But the grain reserves are jumping all the time. What they are saying is "woof" instead of "thick". Shouldn't they be the enemy?
Zhao Mai chose to believe in his partner's feelings because he was inferior to a dog in terms of vision, hearing and smell. After thinking for a while, Zhao Mai decided to stand up. The shield was still in front of the chest, but the dagger was down. It's a relaxed posture, not a fighting posture.
A shadow came out of the woods and stopped by the campfire. Although dog meat is blind, it still shows calm Dog King style. He sniffed at the dwarf and then raised his hind legs. Zhao Mai is trying to stop it, but it doesn't matter to see that the urine flows along the slope of the ground and doesn't wet the dwarf's backpack.
Judging from the timing of its appearance, dog meat must have been following the dwarf, which must be inspired by the Ranger Carl. Just now a bubble of urine fully shows the dog's position. If it is still in battle, it will rush up from the back and bite the dwarf's throat.
Zhao Mai put his shield at his feet and went to touch the dog's head, but he was patted away with a paw. From that slightly turbid one eye, it was clear that there was an air of arrogance. In fact, Zhao Mai doesn't know how to describe this kind of expression, which is about "Oh, I know what you want to do, but you want to be beautiful." He wondered how his brain could turn around so many thoughts in an instant. It was probably because he couldn't communicate normally because of the language barrier, which was driving him crazy?
Grain Reserve is very proud, a lunge jump to the back of the dog, lying on it. However, its head is facing back to the buttocks, its mouth is swinging left and right, and its tail is playing the game of chasing me. Well, it's normal for dogs to be more intimate with each other. Can't people be inferior to dogs just because of this?
More amazing things are still to come. The dog raised his front leg and lowered his head. He tugged hard from his armpit with his mouth and pulled out a small cylinder. With a bite of his teeth, he skillfully pulled out a roll of parchment. During the period when Zhao Mai's eyes were full and his mouth was wide open, the dog unfolded the parchment, on which was a map drawn with charcoal.
For the first time, Zhao Mai knew about the surrounding terrain, the shape of healthy forest and ash lake, and the location of villages and towns. The dog paws repeatedly on the map, where Nebo is located. It also arcs on the map, presumably to tell you how to get to the town. Zhao Mai looks at Gourou suspiciously. As a result, he sees his emotion in Gourou's eyes. It's obviously elation and a bit of stink.
That's strange. I've only heard that mages and warlocks' demons can continuously improve their intelligence. Haven't I heard that Rangers' animal companions have such ability? It's always the only way to improve the strength or agility of animal companions through training. If you want to be smart, you can only rely on the "Enlightenment" mantra. However, this spell can only be used by high-level Druids. Rangers can't even touch the side.
Fortunately, the dog did not make a similar "you really see more strange" expression, otherwise Zhao Mai would even have the illusion that the old dog still has telepathy. Maybe this beautiful environment will improve the intelligence of animals, maybe.
"I see. I remember the map. Thank you for me, Ranger Carl." Zhao Mai put away the map.
Dog meat is a real thing I nodded and accepted the blessing. Then he stepped up to the body of the dwarf, pulled the necklace on the ground with his paw, and put it under his body.
"Why don't you rob? That's my booty
Gourou shook his head, sniffed the jewel pendant, and then pressed it down with his two front legs. Grain reserves jumped from its back, stuck out its tongue foolishly, wallowed on the dog's forelegs, and secretly kicked the necklace with its hind legs, trying to pull it out.
What a good boy. I started to think about the interests of my master. Zhao Mai walked slowly and reached for the necklace on the ground.
Dog meat discovered the attempt of this pair of combinations, so it arched the grain reserve with its nose, and then kept scratching the dog's belly with its paws. Grain reserves on the ground laughing, a hind leg up in the air scratch, seems to be begging for mercy. The dog licks it lovingly, then picks up the necklace and stares at Zhao Mai.
"If I was in trouble just now, would you come and help me?" Zhao Mai asked.
The dog gave a whine as an answer. In fact, Zhao Mai is not sure whether a dog can understand himself, especially when he uses Chinese. However, the ranger gave himself a puppy, which has not been returned.
"OK, you can take that necklace. It's a reward for your lurking and ready to help." Zhao Mai waved his hand and said to the dog, "do you want to play with the reserve grain for a while, or do you want to go back now? It's already dark. I suggest you wait for the sun to riseThis time Zhao Mai was sure that the dog understood.
Two dogs, one big and one small, go to one side to play, so the safety of the camp will be more guaranteed. Zhao Mai thought about it. He put on his clothes first. He saved a lot of money and only relied on his underwear to keep warm. Then come back and pick up the dwarf's stuff.
There are not many things in the backpack, and most of them are only suitable for small creatures. Zhao Mai is a little uncomfortable with it. For example, a small piece of dry food is not much bigger than a compressed biscuit, which is enough for him to eat for half a day, but it can keep the dwarf from starving for three days.
Small water bag, small mirror, small soap, these are not very useful. A small bottle of ink is a good thing. Although the paper is small, it can also be used. The quill is almost held by the fingertips, which is difficult to control.
Careful calculation, a bag of coins is the biggest harvest, Zhao Mai also for the first time to see what the world's currency is like. In fact, the so-called gold coin is similar to a person's thumb nail. It looks thin and pitiful. The fineness of gold is not good, the weight is not right, it should be mixed with other things, maybe copper.
On the front of the gold coin was written "walisia", which Zhao Mai knew was the name of the region. Walesia is not a country. At best, it is a coalition of some city states. The consideration of business is far greater than that of politics and military. On the back, the number one is written in various languages, as well as a warning in common language: abadar is watching you.
Which God is abadar? Zhao Mai only felt that he had seen the name before, but he couldn't remember what it was. He is not Wikipedia after all Whatever it is, you can see it.
Silver is a little bigger, about the same as a dollar coin. Copper is a bigger circle, but it's lighter. After counting, there were about 70 pieces of gold, 30 pieces of silver and 15 pieces of copper in the purse. This was the first bucket of gold he made in the foreign world.
I can't understand the magic scroll, I can't use the wand, the potion Who dares to drink this stuff? Zhao Mai began to cherish the memory of the industrial system on earth. At least all the products he made have instructions, warranty and production date. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, when you come to Napo, you have to sell these - and of course, the big bag of salt.
