After thinking for a moment, Richard felt that it was better to explain the matter clearly in a roundabout way, trying not to offend Gro too much, but also not letting the other party continue to misunderstand.
"I think it's possible that your talent has indeed awakened." Richard looked at Grodao.
Gro's eyes lit up.
"but… "
Gro's eyelids suddenly twitched again.
In everything, be afraid of but.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Richard say: "But... I think the chance is still a bit low. If the talent is really awakened, then there should be a series of performances in normal times. You should have noticed it long ago, instead of suddenly There has been a qualitative change.”
"Then what am I..." Grotto asked tentatively.
"I think it may be caused by external environmental factors." Richard said.
"Because of the external environment?"
"Yes." Richard nodded, "Perhaps due to the movement of some stars, last night happened to be in the right position, which is more suitable for out-of-body meditation. In addition, last night was the end of the month, there was no moon, and other reasons, it was a coincidence that eventually led to Your meditation has never been more successful.”
Gro understood, but also didn't understand.
In his mind, Richard gave the reason, which led to his successful meditation last night. But what is the inner principle of the reason, he really doesn't understand it at all.
But he still understood one thing. He looked at Richard and frowned and asked: "Your Excellency Richard, so yesterday was just a special situation, and I will change back to my original appearance after that?"
"I'm afraid so." Richard said, adding in his mind: Unless he helps to get out of the body every day.
"In this case, wouldn't I..." Gro's mood suddenly became depressed.
Richard's eyes flashed, he thought of something, and said, "But I can help you."
"Huh?" Gro said, "How can I help?"
Reaching into his arms, Richard took out a small glass bottle, which was actually taken from the iron ring. The glass bottle contained a small amount of transparent liquid. Under the early morning sunlight, it was a little shiny and looked like gold was flowing inside.
"This is a special meditation potion that is more precious than the ether I gave you before. You can call it...well, deionized water, also known as dihydrogen monoxide."
"Deionized water? Dihydrogen monoxide?"
"Yes, this bottle contains three dosages. After each use, it can ensure that your out-of-body effect is as successful as last night. Compared with ether, this medicine has one advantage: it has no side effects, no matter how many times it is used. It will cause harm to the body and is unlikely to produce addiction. However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the storage time is very short and can only be stored for three days. Therefore, after you get it, you must use it as soon as possible, otherwise it will become invalid. "
Grotto became a little excited: "Is this really possible?! There is such a magical potion?!"
Of course not! Of course there is no such magical potion!
Richard said in his heart.
The so-called deionized water and the so-called dihydrogen monoxide can only deceive people like Gro in the Middle Ages who have no knowledge of chemistry. On modern earth, they would not be able to deceive even junior high school students.
Deionized water is water after removing impurities in the form of ions. Its purity is slightly higher than that of distilled water. Its chemical formula is H2O, which is dihydrogen monoxide. Simply put, deionized water is high-purity water. This kind of deionized water tastes different from ordinary water.
Generally speaking, there are "polyhydrated sodium ions" and "polyhydrated potassium ions" in normal water, so there will be a little sweetness. But deionized water does not have any ions, so it tastes like water.
What does the water taste like? It just tastes like nothing.
If you drink too much water, beverages, and wine with various flavors, and then drink deionized water, you will feel a slight irritation in the illusion of taste buds. That is the deionized water cleaning the residual ions in the mouth. It can indeed be disguised as some kind of potion.
Of course, deionized water has no other functions.
The reason why Richard said that the deionized water had magical effects was just to wait until Glo came out of his body at night to help.
Of course, this favor was not in vain. Richard did not have a good habit of helping others. He only wanted to exchange things of equal value. Use three times of help to get out of the body in exchange for what you want.
Richard reached out and handed the deionized water to the excited Gro, and said: "You can take this potion, of course you should also understand..."
"I understand, I understand." Gro understood clearly and said aloud, "Sir Richard, please tell me if there is anything you want me to do."
"Well..." Seeing Gro's cooperation, Richard did not hesitate and said directly, "What I asked you to do for me is not difficult, but it is a bit cumbersome. Because I have to make something, and before making it, You need some raw materials. If I collect them one by one by myself, it may take a lot of time, so I want you to accompany me to several places. With your status as a prince, it is best for me to collect them within one day. Finish things and make things.”
"Okay, no problem." After hearing this, Gro said he agreed immediately.
"Then let's set off." Richard was not polite.
"Okay." Groo quickly walked towards the door.
Richard followed him out.
Gro asked one of the guards to dismount, gave the horse to Richard, and then accompanied Richard to quickly move towards the first target location - somewhere outside the city.
…
On the plain, outside the Cuijin City, there is a barren, low, continuous hilltop that sprouts abruptly, like ugly acne on the skin of the earth. And among them, there is a mine.
Not long after it got light, there were shouts and the sound of whips.
The fierce-looking, sinister-faced overseer rushed into the tents and thatched huts filled with cold wind, armed with sticks and whips, and swung them unceremoniously at the miners on their beds, shouting dissatisfiedly: " Get up! You are a bunch of lazy pigs, haven’t you seen the sun basking your butts? Go to work quickly, or if you don’t go to work, there will be no lunch today!”
"Hurry! Stop inking!"
"That one over there, be neat!"
"Aslic, old Maren, don't act like this to me. If you have the ability, don't come to work in this mine! Five silver coins a month, do you think it's so easy to earn?!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! When Mr. Orrick gets up and sees that you haven't worked yet, your salary will be deducted. You will cry then!"
Amidst the noise, the miners were either numb, angry, neat, or slow to get up, put on their own ragged clothes, picked up their tools, and walked to the mining area in the mine.
This is an open-pit iron mine. There is no need to bend down in the mine to mine the ore. The risk is very small, but the workload is huge. You need to use your bare hands with a shovel, hammer, etc. to knock down the ore, and then sort it. The good parts will be piled up waiting to be shipped away, and the bad parts will be thrown away directly.
In front of the cliff-like mine wall mined in the mining area, there are two piles of gravel, one pile of brown-red iron ore, and another pile of various colors of abandoned ore, like two hills.
