Chapter 15: I've almost forgotten it

Matthews, who had obtained the treasure, hurriedly ordered the order to go down.

"Find the dumbest guy in the group! Remember, the one with the worst memory, the one who can't even remember what he ate in the morning! ”

The henchmen hurriedly dispatched and soon brought out a mercenary with messy hair.

"It's you, Gretel." Matthews also recognized this guy, and he was a relatively capable fighter in the team of Freedom Wind, but his IQ seemed to be a bit problematic, and other mercenaries generally reported that it was very difficult to communicate with him.

"Hello Commander." The mercenary, named Gretel, smirked.

"I'll give you some paper." Matthews put his arm around his shoulders and said, "You write me a code on a piece of paper, and the code must be the same on each piece of paper, and you can write whatever you want, but don't tell anyone the code." ”

"But the head ......," Gretel stammered.

"What?" Matthews asked.

"I can't write." Glitter said.

"Then draw!" Matthews said impatiently, "Will you draw a picture?" ”

"Yes." Gretel said honestly, "I like to draw cats. ”

"Then draw the big cat!" Matthews waved his hand in disgust and told him to hurry away. Talking to this fool, he felt that his IQ was rapidly being pulled down.

So everyone quickly brought him pen and paper, and Gretel grinned and picked up the pen and began to scribble on the paper.

The henchmen formed a circle with their backs to him, in case other curious mercenaries came up and saw the code drawn by Gretel.

I saw Gretel sometimes in a daze, sometimes gnawing on the tip of the pen, sometimes smirking and drawing on the paper. The mercenaries of the Wind of Freedom were ten paces away, looking at Gretel's art with bewildered faces, completely unclear what the regimental leader Matthews wanted to do.

"Ugh, Captain Matthews." Seeing this, Asker walked over and greeted, "Have you figured out a way to come?" ”

"Of course." Matthews smiled reservedly and smugly, "It's just a few little tricks, and I can figure it out with a little brain." ”

The subtext means: It's such a simple thing, and you still want to sell me for money? Funny you! The little mercenary group has really never seen the world, and they have arrived home.

"Oh." Asker looked over to Gretel, and several of his henchmen immediately stood upright, blocking Asker's view.

"Eh, eh!" Matthews was afraid that he would suddenly rush over, so he hurriedly pulled him back, "Captain Aske, our team's code can't be leaked to you." Once you know, you'll know about the mutation, won't you? ”

"You're pretty thoughtful." Asker smiled, "It's actually simple, but it's just a bit paper-consuming. ”

"Paper?" Matthews asked.

"Yes." "You know, the difficulty of this mutation is: 'Whoever knows, will be known.'" ”

"In other words, once you open the note and check the code, then the mutant will know the code."

"Next time, this code won't work."

"Therefore, you have to prepare several different cipher schemes to prevent the mutation from mixing in the duplicate multiple times."

"That's right." Matthews muttered, "How many sets of codes have you prepared?" ”

"Three sets, from Plan 1 to Plan 3." "Of course, I don't know what each set of codes is. ”

I need to prepare multiple sets of codes...... Matthews thought to himself, and his expression quickly became glazed.

Eh, no, everyone has to have a copy of the code, so how many sets of codes are prepared, how many times the paper to be consumed.

There are only 9 people in the Cangqing Sword, and if you prepare two more sets of codes, you will only use 18 more pieces of paper.

Our Wind of Freedom has brought more than 40 people this time! How many sheets of paper does that cost!

Matthews called his henchmen: "How much paper do we have?" ”

"44 sheets." The henchman replied, "Just one for everyone." ”

"That's not going to work." Matthews explained the matter like this, and his henchmen were stunned when he heard it.

“…… Therefore, once the code is checked, it is equivalent to invalidation, and more sets of codes must be prepared. Use plan 1 first, and after plan 1 is invalidated, use plan 2 next time, and so on. ”

"But." The henchman smiled bitterly, "We don't have that much paper." ”

"No paper?" Matthews blew his beard and glared.

"We're a mercenary group, not a professor group!" The henchman defended and said, "What mercenary group would bring so much paper!" The 44 pieces of paper used for writing are still the straw paper we use when we go to the toilet! ”

"What about the mercenaries down there?" Matthews said, "Don't they bring their own papyrus? Let them even out a little bit. ”

"Mercenaries are so precious." "They all burrow into the grass, pull them up, pull them off, and wipe them clean." ”

Matthews:..................

Then he remembered that Asker was still beside him, so he tentatively asked:

"Captain Asker......"

"We don't have a lot of paper." Aske said with a smile, finally indicating the purpose of the trip, "If you need it, I can sell it to you." ”

"Fack!" Matthews couldn't hear the word "sell" the most, and immediately put on a straight face and said, "It's okay, we don't lack paper." Think of something else. ”

Then he turned away, smiled at his henchmen, and said:

"Is there any way to do it?"

The henchmen looked at each other, if they said that there was no way in front of the head of another family, they would definitely be put in small shoes by the head of Matthews afterwards, so if they couldn't think of it, they had to think about it!

So everyone could only start brainstorming and meditating.

"By folding each sheet in half and cutting it into two copies, you can save twice as much paper." A henchman made an idea about the area of the paper.

"I'm going to find Gretel!" Another henchman hurriedly ran over.

"Just ask him, don't look at what he draws!" Matthews hastened to remind him.

As a result, when I asked, I found out that Glitter had finished drawing the code and used up all the paper.

"Why don't you replace paper with something else?" One of the henchmen had a whim, "Like a strip of cloth?" ”

"You're a genius!" Matthews exclaimed, "Go get some cloth." ”

Compared to paper, cloth is much easier to get, and basically no mercenary will directly put on armor, and will wear a layer of linen underwear inside.

So after stripping off the underwear of several mercenaries, the second and third stacks of linen strips were also urgently made.

"Ah, still want to paint?" Gretel was also a little speechless.

"This time draw a different code, remember, the code on each piece of paper must be the same, but the code must be different for different schemes." The confidant explained.

"It's complicated." Gretel scratched his head, suddenly a little stupid, "Eh, what was my first set of code drawings?" ”

The henchmen looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. This Glitter is really a fool, and he can forget what he just painted, so this mutation is estimated to not be able to read his memory, very good, very good.

Matthews watched his henchmen quickly write the number 1 representing the first set of plans with the back of the paper facing up, and Gretel's side had already begun to draw the second plan, so he looked up triumphantly to see the expression on Asker's face.

"Huh, what about people?"

When Asker returned to the girls, Medea immediately came and asked:

"How?"

"They decided to figure it out on their own." Asker said.

"Cut." Medea muttered, "Miser." ”

"But I think there's something wrong with their approach." Aske wondered, "They didn't seal them with their eyes closed, but they were hand-drawn codes. ”

"Huh? Doesn't that code go into the creator's memory? Sheila was stunned and said, "Isn't that ineffective?" ”

"I don't know." Aske shook his head, "Forget it, leave them alone. ”
