The big guys always think they're all smart.

Because of the asymmetry of intelligence information. Merchants and aristocrats were always the first to get important news, and in most cases, they were in a position of information superiority.

This gives a lot of big people the illusion that we are very smart and the average person is stupid.

But in fact, the IQ gap between people is not too obvious, unless you are really stupid.

The kind of people who think they are very smart tend to complicate things, to separate things, to make all kinds of connections, and to think about all kinds of things.

And then it complicates a lot of simple things. And the really 'complicated' things, they don't notice.

Just like this time, Beta said that he wanted to build a magic array to prevent the spread of the evil god's breath, which was actually a very simple matter, but they suspected that it was money.

And Judy is the real murderer of the Priest of Light, but they don't have the slightest suspicion.

This also shows that in the absence of sufficient information support, there is no difference between the so-called smart and ordinary people.

A truly smart person can see the direction of the whole thing in the clues. Of course, there are very few such people.

This is why on the earth, in the information society, as long as there is a little ability, large enterprises and large companies want to get their own big data.

After Beta left, the city lord's father and son looked at each other, and after a long while, Roald said curtly, "This may be a small trick to retreat." ”

Although the old city lord is not smart, he has lived for decades after all, and he still has the ability to observe faces.

"Probably, you really misunderstood him."

Beta returns to the manor and rests, and Angel and Judy return.

The two of them are very smooth on their side, and they have already contacted a lot of noble ladies, and these shallow believers have unanimously expressed their willingness to cooperate with Angel's actions in secret.

Angel then asked about Beta's side.

After listening to Beta's story, Angel couldn't stop laughing.

"What a stupid father and son." Angel slapped the table hard: "But Beta, your reaction is too ...... If you have a personality, turn around and leave, hahaha. ”

Judy didn't know what was so funny about it, but she was glad to be around Beta, and while the two were talking, she peeled an apple and handed it to Beta.

Angel looked jealous: "Little Judy, why don't you have me?" ”

Judy tilted her head, then shaved another ...... The much smaller apple was placed in Angel's hand.

Holding the little apple, Angel's mood was a little tangled.

The happy time passed quickly, and two days later, Roald, the son of the city lord, came to the door himself.

He didn't beat around the bush, but said directly with an embarrassed face: "Your Excellency Cook, we need your help. As you say, that evil aura is already spreading. In the meantime, I apologize to you for what happened last time, I'm sorry. ”

Roald lowered his posture, and although there was some embarrassment on his face, his attitude still looked sincere.

"It's okay for me to build a magic array, but the cost will have to be raised to seventy gold coins." In the other party's somewhat stunned expression, Beta said as a matter of course: "You don't always think that magic arrays of different sizes consume the same magic materials, right?" Now that the aura of chaos has expanded a lot, the consumption of materials will of course also increase. ”

Roald was a little embarrassed: "Seventy gold coins......"

Fifty gold coins, he felt that it was a lot, and now it has become seventy gold coins, which is forty percent higher than before. If fifty gold coins just made him feel that it was not worth it, then seventy gold coins made him feel a little painful.

"Future little city lord, don't blame me for not reminding you." Beta said slowly: "If it is another three days, even if you give me a thousand gold coins, I will not help you again." Because it's beyond my ability, it's too huge a magic array, and even if I have money, I can't build it. ”

Roald took a deep breath: "I understand, Your Excellency, please wait here for a while, and when I go back, I will immediately have someone bring you the gold coins." ”

After a slight salute, Roald left.

He kept his word, and in less than an hour, a group of soldiers had put a small box containing seventy gold coins into Grimm Manor.

Subsequently, Beta immediately went to the city to buy the necessary magic materials, and then within half a day, he built a magic circle around the Temple of Light.

Then, after another three days, the arbiters of the Temple of Light finally arrived.

The thirteen arbiters rode their horses and stopped on the outskirts of the Temple of Light, and the leader pointed to the magical enchantment and said, "What's going on?" ”

"This is the barrier set up by Lord Cook, the master magician of Lago County, to prevent the leakage of evil aura." A man who looked like an officer next to him nodded and said, "It's very effective, after this enchantment is established, the evil aura will indeed no longer leak out, and we dare to move around the periphery at will." ”

"What an evil aura, it's just that you ordinary people are too weak." One of the arbiters scoffed, "The barrier itself is a joke." Waste of money. ”

Then there was a laugh among the arbiters.

The officer sneered, although he was a little unhappy, but he endured it without having a seizure. He didn't dare to turn his face with the legendary arbiter.

The lead arbiter stretched out his hand to stop his own faux pas, and he asked kindly, "You said Cook, but Cook Green?" ”

The officer nodded: "Your Excellency also knows him?" ”

"I don't know, but I've heard of it." The leader smiled slightly: "A person who doesn't know how to describe it." Since even he is serious about serving this evil aura, it seems that we need to pay attention to it. I'll have to ask him about which direction his manor is going to go inside without breaking the barrier. ”

"If you just want to go in, you don't need to go to Lord Cook." In the leader's somewhat puzzled eyes, the officer took out a rune stick from the small bag behind him: "Your Excellency Cook has put the key to enter with us, if you want to enter, take this thing, and you can pass through the barrier." It's just that...... Lord Cook has said that before entering, it is best to use the magic to protect the mind, otherwise it is easy to lose your mind. ”

The arbiter smiled confidently: "We don't have anything powerful, it's just that our belief in the goddess is relatively strong, and our willpower is relatively strong. ”

The officer did not want to contradict the arbiter, and he nodded his head in praise of the other party.

The leader waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "You stay outside, I'll go first to see the situation." ”

Then he took the rune stick and walked through the barrier.

As soon as he passed through the barrier, he felt a strong, rather disgusting aura rushing over his face.

In just a split second, he felt his brain congested and ached.

The heart compresses its own blood like a water pump.

Instinctively, he took a step back and stepped out of the barrier.
