Seeing Ackerman's deadly expression, Liang Lidong couldn't feel any sympathy. ▲∴Perhaps he has a very bright future. As long as he reports the location of the gold mine to the temple, he can at least be transferred to a small town as the bishop of a temple, and then he will be active and eventually transferred to the temple.
But unfortunately, when he wanted to kill Liang Lidong and wanted to hire him to do evil in Reed Village, his fate was already doomed. Liang Lidong extinguished the lighting technique and walked out of the cave. Without the thick fog of the 'fog driving' magic, the moonlight fell on the mountains like a silver screen. He took Joan of Arc out of the space backpack, because of the 'hydrotherapy' magic, and Joan of Arc is a monster, with much stronger vitality than ordinary people, and now it looks much better.
Liang Lidong carefully inspected its left wing and found that the wound had begun to heal. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I guess in two days, you will be soaring in the sky again. It's just a minor injury... But don't work so hard in the future, even if that mercenary escapes, it won't have much impact on my plan. In comparison , your own life is the most important thing.”,
"It doesn't have a big impact...but it does have an impact anyway." Jeanne jumped onto Liang Lidong's shoulder by herself, and it seemed to like squatting on the master's body very much.
"The enemy has a plan to run if he doesn't run, and has a plan to run if he runs." Liang Lidong smiled: "There is no perfect idea in this world, we can only plan in advance, adapt to the situation during the event, perfect the details, and review it after the event. See if there is anything wrong or missing. Most of the plans succeed, there is a certain amount of luck."
"Then how much confidence do you have in your plan, master?" Joan asked.
Walking slowly on the mountain road filled with moonlight, Liang Lidong said: "Probably about 80%. As for the remaining 20%, it depends on your own luck. Luck is hard to say. I have seen people pat their chests My plan was bound to succeed, but it turned out to be ruined by an unexpected little thing. That kind of situation is luck, so before I was there, no matter what I planned, I wouldn’t be full of words.”
"I don't know whether to say that you are cautious, or that you lack confidence." Joan of Arc hesitated for a while, and then asked: "I have always had a question. From the knowledge you passed on to me, I know that those golden The small stones are very important things in the eyes of you humans, even more important than delicious food. But why do you give up such important things and tell others."
"It's not that simple to open a mine, especially a gold mine." Liang Lidong said: "The interests represented by the gold mine are too exaggerated. I definitely can't keep it now, and I may not be able to keep it in the future. Instead of doing this, it's better to use it." It's going to do something, and maybe get a piece of the action if my plan is successful."
One person and one bird went down the mountain, because the night was already deep, and the city gates were tightly closed. Border cities like Dongfeng City would close the city gates once it was dark, and they would never open them unless there was something special. Liang Lidong is not critical, he found a clean big stone not far from the city gate, and then made a small hollow cone-shaped mound with the scroll of 'fossils as mud' to wrap the big stone, Then I picked up some dry firewood from the surrounding trees, burned a small flame in front of the mound, and then compacted it, leaving only some sparks. In this way, the fire can generally burn slowly until the next day. And he got into the mound, blinked and fell asleep, and Joan was sleeping next to him.
For players with experience in wild survival, this is just a very simple matter. Even if Liang Lidong can't cast spells, he still has other methods to survive the cold and windy winter night safely.
The next morning, Liang Lidong brought Joan into Winterwind City energetically. He found another nice hotel, and then let Joan rest and recuperate while he went outside to buy some parchment, ink, and Some weird powdery stuff came back. Next, he started to work non-stop. He first drew a map on the parchment, then threw the parchment into the water, dried it with magic, sprinkled some powder on it, and threw it into the water... As a result, he was dissatisfied with this toy that took a lot of effort, so he turned around and threw it into the fireplace in the room.
"What are you doing!" Joan of Arc, who was recuperating on the bed, couldn't help asking.
"Make an 'old' treasure map, otherwise there is no way to explain to Uther why I know there is a gold mine on the mountain."
Joan of Arc stood up, and it said puzzledly: "Even if you have an 'old' treasure map, he might not believe your words."
"When you talk to those noble foxes, most of the time, he doesn't care whether you are telling the truth or not. They only care about whether you can find a reason that is at least superficially logical. On the surface, you must be upright, but privately The exchange of benefits below is another matter. This is the nobility, and I have seen it a lot."
Joan of Arc sighed: "Well, let's not mention the treasure map, Ackerman is dead, don't you worry that the Temple of Life will send someone to look for him, in case they find Ackerman's body in advance, we will The plan would go bankrupt.”
Liang Lidong flicked the wet parchment in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, Ackerman is not a child. At most, others will find it strange that he disappears for a day. If he disappears for two days, they will notice something is wrong. At that time Your wings are already healed, and it’s not too late to monitor the Temple of Life.”
"Why don't we direct them to 'discover' Ackerman's body?"
"There are not many stupid people in this world. If we do things too deliberately, we will enter the vision of the Temple of Life. As long as they pay attention, they will probably find something strange about Ackerman's death. There is no impenetrable wall in the world , what we have to do is try to take the sight of the Temple of Life away from us."
Joan understood: "So we need something that can attract their attention, 'being' discovered by them, you gave up the gold mine for this purpose! But because you are worried that the power of the Temple of Life will increase after getting the gold mine, no People can check and balance them, and when they calm down and continue to investigate Ackerman's affairs, we can't hide it. For this reason, you want to pull another force to compete with them for gold mines, right?"
"Correct!" Liang Lidong nodded and said: "The two forces with almost the same strength, in order to win the gold mine, will definitely win over the forces in the city, and even move out the forces behind them. There will be no results. After two or three years, when the dust settles, whether the Temple of Life wins or loses, it will no longer care about the cause of Ackerman's death."
Joan of Arc shuddered: "I have to say, master, you are indeed very scheming!"
"To survive in such a world, if you don't have a snack machine, you will be eaten to the bone."
For the next two days, Liang Lidong kept making 'old' treasure maps in his room. After Joan's wings healed, she immediately flew out of the hotel and monitored every move of the Temple of Life from high above. On the morning of the third day, Liang Lidong finally made an 'old treasure map' that satisfied him. Before he could be happy, Joan said through the spiritual channel: "Master, a group of six people came out of the Temple of Life." The team, they started to set off in the direction outside the city."
Liang Lidong nodded and said: "Ms. Rose was originally the god of shadows, and she is very good at conspiracy and assassination. Many of her followers have special tracking skills. Since they are heading out of the city, they must have found Ackerman. Some traces of them, you continue to monitor them at high altitude, and report to me their movements at any time."
"Okay, master!"
Liang Lidong put the 'oldest' looking treasure map into his space backpack, then left the hotel and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
Uther's castle still looked majestic. After Liang Lidong asked the waiter to inform him, an old butler came out in person and respectfully brought him to the second floor of the castle. A few months ago, the second floor was turned into BBQ hell by Carl's magical burial, but it's been fully restored and seems more luxurious.
Uther entertained Liang Lidong in a large study room. The two sat facing each other, and there was honey milk wine on the table in the middle. Liang Lidong took a sip and said, "It seems that you have been doing well recently, your enemy... seems to be called Enleco, how did it end? "
"Run away, someone from the capital came to catch him away."
Liang Lidong smiled and said: "Then you must have gained a lot of benefits, otherwise you will never let him go."
Uther just smiled and didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked: "A few months ago, I always remembered what you asked someone to send, so I didn't dare to bother you, but now Your Excellency actually came to my place as a guest, Chen Xing and I am very happy that the moon testified, does this mean that we can be friends."
"There's no need for friends!" Liang Lidong waved his hand: "I'm here this time to make a deal with you!"
"Oh, please." Uther made a gesture of invitation.
"I recently found a treasure map and found a treasure..." Liang Lidong looked at the other party with a sly look.
Uther was not in a hurry, he just followed the other party's words and asked, "Oh, what kind of treasure."
"It's a huge treasure, too big for me to eat alone, so I have to find an ally!"
Uther pondered for a while, and asked, "Is this treasure in my territory?"
"No comment!" Liang Lidong smiled: "Unless we sign an agreement."
"If it's not on my territory, I won't be able to make a move." Uther looked helpless.
"No comment, unless we sign an agreement!" Liang Lidong still said the same thing.
Uther looked at Liang Lidong for a while, and there was a dumbfounding expression on his face: "It seems that this treasure is really big... Well, since it is your proposal, then I think this transaction can be discussed, then your Excellency What kind of agreement do you want to sign!"
"This is a mine. I can't tell you the type of metal now, but I can say that this mine is very valuable and is a rich mine." Liang Lidong stretched out two fingers: "I think so, this mine is owned by you Langman Come to mine with full rights, I am only responsible for providing information, after the minerals you mined are purified, I want 20%!"
"It's not fair. You can get such a big profit just by saying a few words. How can there be such a good thing in this world!" Uther slapped the table and said angrily: "Why don't you take full responsibility for the mining and take 20% of the profit?" How will the profits be given to us!"
Liang Lidong smiled and said, "Now the information is in my hands."
"Damn it, ten percent, this is my biggest concession!"
"20% discount, I believe other nobles will be very interested in this news!"
Uther slapped the table loudly: "I am the lord of the city. Without my permission, that nobleman in Dongfeng City dares to compete with me for business? 10% and a half, it can't be lowered, and if I lower the price, I will start to force it." Robbed."
"Deal!" Liang Lidong clapped his hands, took out a magic contract from the space, and put it on the table: "Please take a look and sign again."
Uther looked carefully at the provisions of the magic contract, and after confirming that there was no text trap, he wrote his name on it, followed by a flash of white light, and then the magic contract burned, and under the witness of the God of Justice, This contract came into force. He threw the pen in his hand and said, "Okay, now you can tell me the location and type of the mine."
Liang Lidong nodded, and said calmly: "This is a gold mine, and the location is here." He took the 'old' treasure map out of the space backpack, and continued: "I went to check it out. , It is indeed a gold mine, and the treasure map is not fake."
"What, a gold mine!" Uther jumped up from the chair, snatched the treasure map on the table, opened it and looked at it.
Liang Lidong took another sip of honey milk wine, and then said calmly: "By the way, I have to tell you a little news. The Temple of Life also has a treasure map like this. I don't know who gave it to them. Anyway, it's not Me. Now their reconnaissance team seems to have set off."
"Shit, why didn't you tell me this news now." Uther grabbed the treasure map and rushed out, and at the same time shouted at the butler: "Merlin, you go to the top floor immediately and ring the emergency cavalry assembly order. You can’t take away my gold, not even the Temple of Life!”
