Chapter 88 Things You Should Do When Spring Blooms

Before the prim legendary paladins arrived, the fire goblins arrived.

When the three-day snow-free season came and the ice and snow on the ground melted slightly, the flame goblin's travel expenses request came.This winter, Cecil made a lot of money in "hot bath therapy", a total of several thousand gold coins. He consulted Mrs. Class, which was a huge sum of money for common people. Mrs. Class's original Saying "I feel that even the elves of Highgarden can't spend it all".

"In the eyes of the Ebo people, the Highgarden elves are rich people." Langdon explained, "The Highgarden elves will go to Ebo to buy leather products. They like to embroider cloth clothes. The leather products are mainly on Roman beasts. The asking price is really generous."

Cecil looked at the piles of gold coins in the room—it was a real pile of gold coins, the yellow color blinded him—and asked Langdon enthusiastically, "The pair of gay knights Is it a huge amount of money for the group?"

"So-so." Langdon shrugged his shoulders. "My salary in the Knights is settled in magic coins. I don't accept gold coins. It's too troublesome to carry."

Cecil: "..."

It is not easy to overcome the hatred of the rich!

The flame goblin traveled thousands of miles and arrived at Moon City in three days. Cecil was very happy when he got the news, and when he went out to greet him, he casually said: "When you come, you have to start working quickly, the drainage land outside the city is almost turning into a pool gone."

"Oh, do you have a forging workshop?" Russell asked.

Cecil slammed on the brakes and stopped, and said in a daze, "What forging workshop?"

"The place where the flame goblins forge metal." Russell was also stunned, "What? Did you let them work out of thin air?"

"Aren't they going to build it?"

"They are blacksmiths, not builders."

"But at least they know how to build it? Others don't!"

Russell made the following sound: "Hehehehehe."

Cecil: "..."

As it turns out, Russell was right.

The flame goblin's group of seven claimed to be a team that could accept city-level forging tasks.They were not much different from the goblins in Cecil's imagination. They were short, with big heads, pointed noses and wide mouths. The only major difference was that these goblins were blue!That pink-blue pink-blue color!

When he saw it for the first time, a line of lyrics immediately floated in Cecil's mind: There are a group of Smurfs on the other side of the mountain...

Nima is so similar!

Thanks again to the seniors who formulated the will rule of "without fear". Cecil completely maintained his expression, and only his slightly trembling voice revealed his uncontrollable smile: "Everyone, good day, the journey has been hard."

"Thank you for your employment!" said the lead "Smurf" with a strange childlike voice, "Now, you can tell us where the forge is, and we can start working immediately! Ah, it's a second away from the flames!" I can't stand it!"

"Uh...that's a good question." Cecil swallowed, and peeked at Russell. Langdon recently said that he was busy with the Dragon Heart, so let him take care of things by himself for the time being. Oakes and his aura are at odds, Moyer Is immersed in "pain", so Russell became the person to accompany him today.

Russell was looking over with the perfect business smile, without saying a word.

Cecil: "..."

Fuck!

Cecil said with difficulty: "Now there is a small problem, we don't have a forging workshop..."

Before the words fell, the "Smurfs" started calling.

"What? No forging workshop? Next, are you going to tell us that there is no city, no country, no civilization?!"

"Ah, we were deceived! God of Fire, please forgive me for leaving you for three whole days!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"I'm sorry for your child's mother! I was deceived, and I have no fire—"

Cecil almost roared: "There is fire! There is fire! There is no forging workshop, I thought you came to make it!"

"We are blacksmiths, blacksmiths, people of flames, not house builders!"

Cecil looked at Russell again and got an almost bright smile.

Fuck!

The flame goblins have all come, and finally succumbed to Cecil's earnestness, waiting for a while, and the salary will be paid as usual, but they put forward a condition: "Buy a forging workshop."

"Oh——" the other "Smurfs" made surprise voices, "That's right! I've wanted it for a long time, the dwarf's 'Huoyanyan' integrated forging workshop! Awesome!"

When Cecil heard this name, he had a very bad premonition, but he still bravely asked, "How much?"

"Not much, only one hundred grams!"

"One hundred grams?"

The flame goblins looked at Russell one after another: "You knight is not a fool, is it?"

"Please forgive me, Cecil Knight had a magical accident, and I don't remember many things." Russell smiled, but the smile was full of sarcasm, "Klan was issued by Crandall Magic coins."

"Oh." Cecil suddenly realized, "How is the exchange between Klan and gold coins?"

The flame goblins looked at Russell again.

The concentration of sarcasm in Russell's smile increased again: "Magic coins are not exchanged for gold coins."

Cecil: "...then how can I earn magic coins?"

Russell's smile was as bright as the sun: "Of course it is to sell things to people who are willing to pay magic coins, so you can have magic coins."

Cecil is not well.

Nima, which person who traveled through the world taught the monopoly currency policy used by this advanced technology? !Directly separate magic and non-magic into two worlds, currency isolation policy!The earth has US dollars to stroke the wool all over the world, and here there are also magic coins to stroke the wool all over the world!Hold!

I have something to sell...huh?

Cecil suddenly remembered that Langdon said that his monthly salary was paid in magic coins!

"You guys can take a break first, and do the recently famous 'hot bath therapy' to relieve the fatigue of the journey." Cecil decided to take a delay, "Can you use an ordinary forging workshop?"

"We want 'Huoyanyan'!" The flame goblins waved their arms and shouted slogans, and they were determined not to give up until they reached their goals.

"Come on, let's go and rest first." Cecil hated why he didn't meet special talents at this time, such as forging, computing, chemical exploration, etc., but all he met were Oaks and flame goblins...

Langdon came back after lunch, and Cecil stopped him outside the gate of Moon City, and asked quickly, "Do you have any magic coins?"

Langdon said calmly, "Yes, for what?"

"Lend me!" Cecil didn't care about it, and now he took one step at a time. If any step stopped, it would trigger a chain reaction. Now he can be regarded as understanding a little bit of the mood of a business owner.

"How much?" Langdon asked with enough interest.

"one hundred!"

Langdon's expression changed slightly: "One hundred? What do you want so much for?"

"A lot?" Cecil asked blankly, "I don't know, what kind of integrated forging workshop those flame goblins said they wanted to buy..." He hurriedly finished the whole thing.

Langdon rubbed his nose and said helplessly: "First of all, I said that those goblins are crazy. They are so obsessed with flames that they are irrational. Therefore, it is completely unreasonable to make such a request, and we can refuse it. Secondly, If you don’t have a forging workshop, just make one. There’s no need to buy a dwarf’s magic forge. It’s too wasteful for us to use that. Finally, one hundred kram is very expensive, quite expensive. The exchange rate of underground black market gold coins to kram is 1000 to 1, and there is no market for the price, if we really invest this cost in the business, then this is a worthless business.”

Cecil was completely wilted and worked hard all winter. The huge sum in Mrs. Klass's eyes was less than ten klan coins. The class gap is too big!

He stood like a statue for a long time, until Langdon showed a worried expression: "I have some good news. Bills' nephew, another Bills, contacted me. He wants to sell Ebo."

Cecil regained his senses for a while: "...Wait a minute, is the sale you mentioned, the one I thought of?"

"It's for sale." Langdon seemed puzzled, "As long as you can afford it, Ebo is yours."

"Including Dragon Heart?"

"Including Dragon Heart."

Cecil was silent for a while, and said, "Why do I always feel that this matter is full of tricks?"

"I think so too." Langdon said, "But, don't you want a dragon's heart?"

Cecil was confused: "Will it cause trouble? I mean Dragon Heart."

"Dragon Heart has been exposed for a whole winter, and many people have seen it. I think it should be fine." Langdon said, "The news must have spread long ago. The Dragon Clan is not a solitary race. They probably got wind of it a long time ago. , there must be some reason for not coming here. The temple has also investigated the matter, and believes that the danger is not high, so it can be considered."

When Cecil heard this, he immediately became excited. He looked in Ebo's direction and said, "Can the dragon heart be used as a power source?"

"Almost, the dead dragon heart will emit heat all the time. In fact, I'm curious, why can Ebo's air conditioner not only heat but also cool?" Langdon said, "The dragon heart is obviously emitting heat."

"Well, it's actually just using heat as a power source." Cecil said this, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. The air conditioner doesn't just need to have power. For example, without Freon as a refrigerant, how can the air conditioner blow out cold air?

Both Luther and Ebo people have confirmed that Ebo is indeed cooler than the outside world in summer, and a lot of heat will be emitted along the Luofeng Pass.No one seems to be able to answer this question. After all, the Ebo people don't even know who built the White Tower, let alone the principle.Although Cecil knew how to repair it in principle, but after several investigations in winter, he didn't think he could restore the craftsmanship of the great god who traveled through the predecessors. Obviously, this thing was not made by one person or a few people. It required various professionals and raw materials. .

"Okay." Putting aside these random thoughts, Cecil cheered up, "How much is Bills going to sell?"

"Ten grams." When he said this, Langdon showed a narrow expression, "He said it can be discussed."

This time Cecil was silent for a long time, so long that he himself suspected that he had an auditory hallucination: "In a country with so many people, the price is only one-tenth of the price of a dwarf integrated forging workshop?"

Langdon touched Cecil's head habitually, he shaves his head every month, and the shape seems to be in line with his preferences: "So as I said, don't pay too much attention to Ebo's side." It's just a small place."

Cecil felt particularly uncomfortable, not only because of the price, but also because of the values ​​conveyed in it.

"What nonsense are you thinking?" Langdon wrapped his arms around Cecil's neck, and kissed his cheek affectionately, "Ebo is not a suitable place to live without air-conditioning. Although we can build a country, we still need to To put it bluntly, there shouldn't be a country here." Langdon explained the reason, "Birce's nephew has obviously weighed it, and of course, some enlightened people talked to him about the attack. About Moon City."

This caught Cecil's attention. He turned his head and almost kissed Langdon's eyes. He quickly distanced himself and said, "Did you talk to him?"

"I found some friends." Langdon said, "Don't underestimate every Templar. Although we are all idlers, idlers have their own advantages."

Just as Cecil was about to ask, Langdon suddenly asked, "What should you do when you encounter something you don't understand?"

"……Keep a low profile."

"Very good, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"..."

Now there is only one question left, where can I get magic coins?

"Do we have anything that sells magic coins?" Cecil asked.

Langdon pondered for a few seconds: "Paper is probably fine, but are you going to sell the formula for paper?"

To be honest, Cecil was really reluctant: "Selling the formula means we can't do it?"

"Generally, it's like tanning," Langdon said.

"Is there no pirated version in this world?" Cecil wondered, "These things are easy to imitate, right?"

"Piracy? This statement is very interesting." Langdon first commented, "Did you forget something?"

Cecil was stunned for a moment before he remembered: Oh, there is also the God of Civilization!

"It stands to reason that the God of Civilization should ignore the pirated version, right? The pirated version is actually spreading Him, making more people believe in Him, isn't it?" Cecil asked.

"Well, let me tell you a historical story." The two walked shoulder to shoulder in Moon City, and no one except the Ebo people would take a look at it. The streets are full of knights hooking up, " You heard Luther talk about the battle of salt and sugar, right? This food was developed by country A. It would be more delicious to boil rice with some salt, so they had the first rice god, and this way of eating gradually spread Come on, some people think that it would taste better with some sugar? They tried it, and it felt good, and the sweet porridge gradually spread. Mishen felt that it was all rice, so he didn't stop it. You know what happened later What happened. A new god of sweet porridge was born, and it eventually turned into a war of salt and sugar. Therefore, the later gods of civilization will not allow such things to happen. Pirated versions usually have no maintenance for the original version, and it is easy If there is an evolution, it will not be a pleasant thing if a new god is born."

It seems that this is the reason why this world has had traversers but no technological evolution has taken place. Although the God of Civilization will promote people to invent new technologies, it will also make people stay away from the old and be unable to make breakthroughs and innovations.

The two of them had already returned to the city after talking. After finding the flame goblins, Cecil found that they were actually standing in the boiler room of the bathroom, gathered next to the huge heating kang, watching the blazing flames with obsessive eyes.

In the pit, above the flames, there are several rows of hardwood water pipes arranged in the shape of greedy snakes, which are very ugly pasted one by one, and it will probably leak in a short time. At this time, thanks to the good thermal conductivity of hardwood, They become important parts for supplying hot water in bathrooms.

Cecil felt that the fire goblins would like to bury their faces in the fire.

"Won't they get burned?" Cecil asked.

"Yes." Langdon raised his chin towards the goblin who was at the front. "Look at the back of his neck, isn't that a scar? Fire goblins like to show off burn scars on their bodies. It's a sign of their closeness." Evidence of fire, if a flame goblin is clean, he will be cast aside by his peers."

What a frightful tradition!

"By the way, fire goblins are especially proficient in healing burn magic."

"..."

Those who are not proficient are dead, right?

After some "polite" negotiations, the flame goblins finally gave up their request for the "Huoyanyan" integrated forging house, and Cecil only needed to provide a forging house that met a certain standard.Before that, he had to provide these "Smurfs" with free board and lodging, after all, it was their mistake.

"It should have been prepared earlier." Cecil said helplessly, "I forgot about it."

"It's my fault, I forgot to remind you." Langdon said.

"Well, I can't rely on you all, I have to work harder myself."

"It's okay, don't worry, I will help you."

The two of them drifted away, completely oblivious to the whispers of the "Smurfs" behind them.

"This is gay, right?"

"definitely."

"Are these two a couple?"

"It should be, but it wasn't this man who picked us up in the morning, right?"

"It's changed! Although you are not very sensitive to the appearance of human beings, the hair color of the two of you is different! This one is black, and the one in the morning is brown!"

"Oh, what a lecherous man!"

"I heard that the Gay Knights will harass as long as they are male!"

"We have to be careful, good brothers!"

"For chastity!"

"For the sake of chastity!!"

Cecil didn't have time to pay attention to the little gossips of the fire goblins. There were too many things to do. Although Langdon said that ten klan could still be obtained from his private treasury, he still wanted to let this matter go. Langdon was too kind to take the public account. He couldn't develop the habit of relying on the other party for everything.

He thought of Mrs. Xiangqi, who seemed to have sent a mercenary to ask about paper?

During the period of contacting Mrs. Xiangqi, the weather gradually warmed up. Cecil's taste, which has been poisoned by meat all winter, urgently needs fresh vegetables to wash away. In this ghost place, he dare not eat plants that he doesn't understand, but There was one thing he had been looking forward to all winter.

tea.

Theoretically speaking, tea is the leaves that grow out, but modern people are engaged in the food industry, of course they have to make some gimmicks, such as spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea and so on. It is said that some people tried to promote the concept of winter tea but failed. After all, it is winter The long leaves obviously violate the laws of nature and are incompatible with a tea known for its natural characteristics, so some people want to grow tea in Australia.

Cecil has never worked in the tea industry, but in theory it seems to be similar to making Chinese medicine. He has heard a whole set of theories about making Chinese medicine, tea, you can try it slowly.

On the way to Chaling, Cecil popularized a lot of knowledge about tea to Langdon and Carroll, most importantly describing the benefits of drinking tea.

"It tastes great with milk!" When it comes to eating, Cecil's tone is quite high, "Especially when you eat a lot of meat and it's greasy, the feeling of drinking tea is so refreshing , better than happy water in Fat House!"

"What is Fat House Happy Water?" Carroll asked.

Cecil is no longer the man he was yesterday, and he said nonsense: "Using various special techniques to make tea-derived beverages."

"Oh——" Carroll's four eyes widened, and she was still very cute after getting used to it, "Then we can eat it today, right?"

"The snow has just melted." Cecil looked at the ground with withered vegetation, "It probably hasn't sprouted yet."

This time, Cecil was wrong again. In fact, he was already prepared. The two worlds are different, and tea must be different. After a while, he slowly walked over, and gestured the tea tree on his body: Yes, it reached around the crotch before winter, but now it has grown to the waist.

What the hell? !

"This kind of tree really grows very fast." Carroll added, "We can pick a lot every time."

"Then why were we here so short last year?"

"The buds are too tender." Karohe bit a piece in his mouth and broke the buds with a light tug. "It will be the rainy season soon, and the bursts of heavy rain will knock down the buds."

Cecil was taken aback, and asked, "The rain can fall, how heavy is the rain?"

"Well, I can't describe it, do you want to demonstrate it to you?"

"Okay...uh!"

Carroll hit Cecil's stomach like a cannonball, and he lay down with his legs crossed like a eunuch who had just been cleansed, and said with difficulty: "You don't have to be so real."

"Of course it must be true, otherwise the gossip will lose its meaning." Caroline put his four eyes close to Cecil, "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing..." Cecil gritted his teeth and stood up, "There is no other way, we have to pick them quickly."

At this time, Langdon said slowly, "I agree, those boys have been nesting for the whole winter, and they are too free. They have to move around."

This winter, the gay knights supporting the Ebo stronghold—now it should be the Moon City stronghold—are very satisfied. They thought they would live a miserable and cold winter, spending the day with magic bread and magic water every day, huddled in Hugging each other in the cold mud hut so as not to freeze to death in their sleep, unexpectedly the facts are completely different from what they imagined.

So cool, Le Busi Dian!

After being notified by Langdon, all the staff gathered in the small square, and when they heard the order to pick tea overnight, many people complained.

Langdon smiled and said to Moyer: "Whoever doesn't go, I give you the power to punish him."

"Oh yeah—" Moyer suddenly cheered up and let out an erotic voice, "Come on, babies."

After looking at each other in blank dismay, the knights dispersed in an instant.

"I just like picking tea!"

"If you don't finish picking, you won't come back!"

"GOGOGO, comrades!!"
