Looking at Ackerman's dead expression, Liang Lidong couldn't feel any sympathy at all. Perhaps he has a very ambitious future, as long as he reports the location of this gold mine to the temple, he can at least be transferred to a small city to be the bishop of a temple, and then he can be active, and finally it is not difficult to transfer to the temple.

But unfortunately, when he wanted to kill Liang Lidong and wanted to hire him to do evil in Reed Village, he was already doomed to his fate. Liang Lidong extinguished the illumination technique and walked out of the cave. Without the thick fog of the 'fog' magic, the moonlight falls on the mountains like a screen. He took Joan of Arc out of his space backpack, because of the 'hydrotherapy' magic, plus Joan of Arc is a magical beast, and its vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and now it looks much better.

Liang Lidong carefully examined its left wing and found that the wound had begun to heal. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It is estimated that in two days, you will be soaring in the sky again." Just a minor injury...... But don't be so desperate in the future, even if that mercenary escapes, it won't have much impact on my plan. In contrast, one's own life is the most important thing. ”、

"Not much...... But it does have an impact. Joan of Arc jumped on Liang Lidong's shoulder, and it seemed to like to squat on its master's body.

"The enemy didn't run, he had a plan to run, and he ran and he had a plan to run." Liang Lidong smiled: "There is no perfect idea in this world, you can only plan in advance, respond to the opportunity in the middle of the event, improve the details, and review what mistakes and omissions are at the end of the event." Most of the plans succeed because of a certain amount of luck. ”

"How confident do you have in your plan, master?" Joan of Arc asked.

Walking slowly on the moonlit mountain road, Liang Lidong said: "About eighty percent. As for the remaining 20%, it depends on your luck. Luck is hard to say. I've seen people pat their chests that their plans would succeed, only to be ruined by an unexpected little thing. That's luck, so no matter what I planned, I wouldn't be able to talk about it until I was there. ”

"I don't know if you should say that you are cautious or that you are not confident." Joan of Arc hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I've always had a question, and from the knowledge you have passed on to me, it's clear to me that those little golden stones are quite important things in the eyes of you humans, even more important than good food. But why would you want to give up something so important and tell someone else. ”

"Mining is not such a simple thing, especially gold mining." 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, so it's better to use it to do something, and if my plan is successful, I may be able to get a piece of the pie." ”

One person and one bird went down the mountain, because it was already late at night, and the city gate was closed, and a border city like Winter Wind City, once it was night, the city gate would be closed, and it would never be opened without anything special. Liang Lidong is not critical, he found a clean big stone not far from the city gate, and then made a small one with the 'fossil to mud' scroll, the hollow cone-shaped mound wrapped the big stone, and then picked up some dry wood from under the surrounding trees, burned a small flame in front of the mound, and then compacted it, leaving only some spark foam, so that the fire could usually burn slowly until the next day, and he burrowed into the mound, blinked and pretended to sleep, and Joan of Arc slept next to him.

For players with experience in surviving in the wild, this is just a simple matter, even if Liang Lidong can't cast spells, he has other ways to survive the cold winter night.

The next morning, Liang Lidong entered the city of Winter Wind with Joan of Arc in good spirits, he found another nice hotel, and then let Joan of Arc rest and recuperate, while he went outside to buy some parchment, ink, and some strange powder. Then he began to work incessantly, first drawing a map on the parchment, then throwing the parchment into the water, drying it with magic, sprinkling some powder, and throwing it into the water...... He was not satisfied with the piece that had taken a lot of effort, and turned his head and threw it into the fireplace in the room.

"What are you doing!" Joan of Arc, who was recuperating from her wounds in bed, couldn't help but ask.

"Make an 'old' treasure map, otherwise there's no way to explain to Uther why I knew there was a gold mine on the mountain."

Joan of Arc stood up, puzzled, "Even if you had an 'old' treasure map, he wouldn't necessarily believe you." ”

"Talking to those aristocratic foxes, most of the time, they don't care if you tell the truth or not, they only care if you can find a logical reason that is at least superficially logical. On the surface, it is another thing to be honorable, but to exchange interests in private. This is the aristocracy, and I have seen a lot. ”

Joan of Arc sighed: "Okay, let's not mention the treasure map, Ackerman is dead, you don't have to worry that the Temple of Life will send someone to find him, in case they find Ackerman's body in advance, our plan will have to go bankrupt." ”

Liang Lidong shook the soaked parchment in his hand and said: "Don't worry, Ackerman is not a child, others will find it strange at most if he disappears for a day, and if he disappears for two days, they will only notice that something is wrong, and at that time your wings will already be healed, and it will not be too late to monitor the actions of the Temple of Life." ”

"Why don't we direct them to 'find' Ackerman's body?"

"There are not many stupid people in this world, and if we do things too deliberately, we will enter the vision of the Temple of Life. With a little attention, they could most likely find out that Ackerman's death was strange. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and what we need to do is to try to remove the sight of the temple of life from us. ”

Joan of Arc understood: "So we need something that catches their eye, to be 'discovered' by them, and that's why you've given up the gold mine!" But because you are worried that the power of the Temple of Life will increase after obtaining the gold mine, no one will be able to check and balance them, and when they come to their senses and continue to investigate the matter of Ackerman, we will not be able to hide. That's why you want to pull another force to compete with them for gold, right? ”

"That's right!" Liang Lidong nodded and said: "Two forces with similar strengths, in order to fight for the gold mine, will definitely win over the forces in the city, and even move out of the forces behind them." The two sides clashed, and after two or three years of open and secret fighting, there will definitely be no result. After two or three years, when the dust settles, the Temple of Life, whether it wins or loses, 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 there was no dim sum machine, I would have been eaten so long ago that there were no bones left."

For the next two days, Liang Lidong kept making the 'old' treasure map in the room, and after Joan of Arc's wings healed, he immediately flew out of the hotel and watched every move of the Temple of Life from high in the sky. On the morning of the third day, Liang Lidong finally made an 'old treasure map' that satisfied him, and before he could be happy for long, Joan of Arc said through the spiritual channel: "Master, a team of six people has come out of the Temple of Life, and they have begun to set off in the direction of the outside of the city. ”

Liang Lidong nodded and said: "Ms. Rose was originally the god of shadows, very good at conspiracy and assassination, many of her followers have special tracking skills, since they set off outside the city, they must have found some traces of Ackerman, you continue to monitor them in the sky, and report their movements to me at any time." ”

"Yes, master!"

Liang Lidong's treasure map, which looked the most 'old', was put into the space backpack, and then he walked out of the hotel and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

Uther's castle still looked majestic, and after Liang Lidong asked the waiter to inform him, not long after, an old housekeeper came out in person and respectfully took him to the second floor of the castle. A few months ago, the second floor was turned into a barbecue hell by Carl's magical burial, but now it's completely restored to its original appearance and seems to have become more luxurious.

Uther entertained Liang Lidong in a large study. The two sat facing each other, with honey and milk wine on the table in the middle, Liang Lidong took a sip and said, "It seems that you have been doing well lately, your enemy...... It seems to be called Enleko, how did it end? ”

"Ran away, Wang Du came and fished him away."

Liang Lidong said with a smile: "Then you must have gained a lot of benefits, otherwise you will definitely not let people go." ”

Uther just smiled and did not answer directly, but asked: "A few months ago, I always remembered what you had sent me, so I didn't dare to bother you, but now that Your Excellency has come to me as a guest, and the morning star and the moon testify, I am very happy, does this mean that we can become friends?" ”

"Friends don't have to!" Liang Lidong waved his hand: "I came this time to make a deal with you!" ”

"Oh, please." Uther made a gesture of please.

"I recently found a treasure map and found a treasure ......," Liang Lidong looked at each other with a smile.

Uther wasn't in a hurry either, he just followed the other party's words and asked, "Oh, what kind of treasure." ”

"It's a big treasure, it's too big for me to eat alone, so I have to find an ally!"

Uther pondered for a moment 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 this.

Uther looked at Liang Lidong for a while, and there was a crying and laughing expression on his face: "It seems that this treasure is indeed very large...... Well, since it is your proposal, then I think this deal can be discussed, so what kind of agreement do you want to sign! ”

"It's a deposit, the type of metal I can't tell you right now, but I can say that this deposit is very valuable, it's a bonanza." Liang Lidong stretched out two fingers: "I think so, this mineral deposit is fully exploited by you Langman, I am only responsible for providing information, after the minerals you mine are purified, I want 20%!" ”

"It's not fair, you can get such a big profit just by saying a few words, where is there such a good thing in this world!" Uther slapped the table and said angrily: "Why don't you take full responsibility for mining and give us 20% of the profits!" ”

Liang Lidong smiled: "Now the information is in my hands. ”

"Damn, Ichisei, this is my biggest concession!"

"Twenty percent is not discounted, I believe that other nobles will be very interested in this news!"

Uther slapped the table with a bang: "I am the city lord, without my permission, that nobleman in Winterwind City dares to steal business with me?" One and a half, it can't be lower, and if the price is lowered, I will start to rob. ”

"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 it again." ”

Uther carefully read the terms of the magic contract, and after making sure that there were no word traps, he wrote his name on it, and with a white light appeared, and then the magic contract burned, and under the witness of the god of justice, the contract officially came into effect. He threw the pen in his hand and said, "Okay, now you can tell me the location and type of mineral deposit." ”

Liang Lidong nodded, and said very lightly: "This is a gold mine, and the location is here." He took the 'old' treasure map out of his space backpack and continued, "I've been to investigate, it's indeed a gold mine, and the treasure map isn't fake. ”

"What, gold mines!" Uther jumped up from his chair, snatched the treasure map from the table, opened it and took a look.

Liang Lidong took another sip of mead milk wine, and then said slowly: "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 are you just telling me this news now." Uther grabbed the treasure map and rushed out, shouting to the butler, "Merlin, you go to the top floor and ring the emergency assembly order of the cavalry, no one can steal my gold, not even the Temple of Life!" ”
