After listening to Richard's words, Gro wanted to say something, but Richard looked at him and said, "There is one more point to explain." That is, I'm not actually a wizard, I can only count as a wizard apprentice, well, the lowest kind. So, even if you're right, I can't teach you spells. ”

"Really?" said Gro, who was a little unrelenting.

"Not really. Richard shook his head calmly.

"That'...... I really don't have any hope of becoming a wizard?" said Gro, undisguised from the deep disappointment on his face.

"Not necessarily. Richard spoke up again, "Didn't you say that some talented people will be taken to the mainland by ship to study? As long as you have talent......

"But I don't have the talent. Gro Dao, his face was very gray, "I don't even have the lowest talent, so I can't meditate." ”

This is normal, according to the record in the "Monroe Chapter", the probability of a person born with wizarding talent is almost 1 in 10,000, and there is only one in 10,000 people, how can it be so easy. Richard just didn't have talent, otherwise he wouldn't have found a way to use scientific methods to crack the three life reshapes.

And Gro in front of him is obviously the same, as a prince, he has no wizarding talent - good things can't be taken by one person.

Seeing Gro's appearance, Richard's eyes flashed and said: "Actually, as long as you can return to the royal capital safely and wait patiently for a while, you will eventually become a grand duke with a territory, which can live better than most people in fact, why do you have to become a wizard?"

Gro was slightly stunned: "This ......"

"Of course, it's up to you to become a wizard, or the rest of the world. If you really want to, then we might as well make a deal. Richard said.

"What deal?" asked Gro.

Richard flipped through his hands and took out a small porcelain bottle from his clothes, which contained ether, the anesthetic that had been prepared. For example, ether, some alcohol and other other things, Richard usually carries more or less on his body to deal with some emergencies. Now, just in time.

Handing the porcelain bottle to Gro, Richard exclaimed, "This is a bottle of potion, and every time you inhale the gas it emitts, it will help you enter meditation and help you overcome the first of the three difficulties of becoming a true wizard's apprentice." ”

"Really?" Gro's eyes lit up, his expression was happy, and he reached out to take it, but Richard didn't let go.

Gro realized something, remembered the word "deal" that Richard said just now, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some understanding: "Then what do you want?"

"Ten thousand pounds of fine iron. Richard exclaimed, "I need you to get the iron to the camp in ten days." You don't care what I do, but it must arrive on time. ”

"This ......," Groh hesitated.

10,000 catties of iron weighs only five tons, which is not much on the modern earth, but it is different in the current medieval world. Originally, iron was a strategic material, which was strictly controlled by the government, and the amount of 10,000 catties of iron was enough to build nearly a thousand cold weapons, or hundreds of iron armor, which was enough to equip a small army.

That is, Gro is a prince, otherwise if the rest of the small nobles are concerned, they will refuse without thinking after hearing it. On the one hand, there is no such ability to get so much iron in such a short period of time. On the other hand, they did not dare to do so, lest they would be seen as a rebellion by the king.

Gro hesitated for a moment, looked at the small porcelain vase in Richard's hand, frowned deeply, and finally gritted his teeth after thinking for a long time: "Okay, I promise you." Although it is a little difficult to get 10,000 catties of iron, I will try to get it for you. ”

"That's good, nice to work with. Richard let go and handed the small porcelain vase into Gro's hands.

As soon as he took the porcelain vase, Gro immediately opened it impatiently, sniffed slightly, and then his eyes flashed, and he looked at Richard in surprise: "This seems to be really ......"

"Or else?"

"Uh. Gro carefully put the vase away and smiled.

......

Eventually, the dinner lasted for a while, and Richard took his leave at the right time.

On the one hand, the two goals of "obtaining information" and "trading" have been achieved, and on the other hand, Gro's eagerness to try ether can't be concealed at all, and it makes no sense for both parties to stay, otherwise the dinner will end early.

Pulling Pandora out of Gro's tent, Richard strode towards the outside of the camp. After seeing Richard, the soldiers along the way all subconsciously stopped and dodged, after all, Richard was a mysterious wizard, and he was also a guest of honor who was invited by the prince, and they could not be disrespectful.

In this way, Richard walked all the way to the edge of the camp without hindrance, and the next moment he heard a slight sound of gnawing on hard objects from the side.

Well?

Richard turned his head to look at Pandora, his eyebrows furrowed, "What are you biting?"

With a "click", Pandora replied.

I saw Pandora grasping the fork handle of a silver fork with one hand, biting the tip of the fork, and with a "click" just now, he bit off the tip like a silver needle in his mouth.

Richard stared calmly, and Pandora glared.

Richard frowned slightly, and said with some seriousness: "You shouldn't just take other people's things." ”

"Scared!" Pandora replied, somewhat unclear.

Richard exhaled slowly, trying to explain the most basic thing to the dragon girl: "If the thing is mine, you can take it, if the thing is Gregory, you can take it too." But not for the rest, because people don't know you. If you want, you can pay for it, or you can tell me and let me buy it for you. However, it is absolutely not possible to take it casually.

Because other people are not animals in the forest, you can't just take other people's things just because you can't beat you. Well, sometimes, of course, you can do it, but most of the time you still have to pay attention to the default rules. Communicating with people is very troublesome, and many rules cannot be violated, unlike facing animals in the forest, which can be solved by blindly relying on violence.

If you really like this silver fork, I could have given it to you as a condition of trading with Gro. But since it didn't do so, the silver fork had to be returned. Even if you bite it, you have to pay it back. ”

Richard held out his hand, palm facing up.

Pandora frowned, frowned for a moment, and finally handed the silver fork out and placed it in Richard's hand, but the tip of the fork was still in her mouth.

Richard also knew that he couldn't ask too much of this kind of small place, shook his head slightly, took the broken silver fork, turned around and walked back, and walked towards Gro's tent.

And as he walked, Richard's brow furrowed as he suddenly found ...... Something seems to be wrong in the camp. Originally, when I left just now, I saw a lot of soldiers, but all of them disappeared at this time, as if they had been transferred away suddenly.

The huge camp had become a little deserted, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

When he walked near Gro's tent, Richard smelled a faint blood, and the next moment his eyes narrowed, he thought of a possibility, and quickly rushed into the tent.
