Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the end of the alley is a courtyard, covering an estimated area of three or four acres, although it seems that the buildings in this courtyard are a little dilapidated, but the courtyard is lush and full of various plants.
Cook looked at these plants in surprise, because these plants are actually good materials for making zuò bows, golden silk vine, black bamboo, bitter bamboo, iron wisteria, ox tendon tree and other plants, and it seems that these plants are a little old.
"Tsk, I'm afraid the materials in this courtyard are worth millions of gold coins!" Cook sighed.
You must know that a good weapon can make many professionals go bankrupt to build, and Cook saw that there are decades of golden silk vines, golden silk vines are a magic plant, although only the thickness of a toothpick, but the ten-year-old golden silk vine can withstand the weight of five hundred catties, and twenty years to bear eight hundred catties, thirty years to one thousand catties, fifty years to have three thousand catties, after fifty years of this hurdle, that is the amount of five thousand catties.
The golden silk rattan is mainly used for bundling bows, and after being made with special monster grease, it can be waterproof, and it is not at all like ordinary bows that will loosen in humid weather.
After the cow tendon tree is dried, after a special process, the elasticity is very strong, comparable to the cow tendon, the cow tendon tree is the thickness of the chopsticks head at most ten years, and the cow tendon tree that can be used in general will take at least fifty years, which is still the most suitable bow material required by senior archers.
As for bitter bamboo, black bamboo, as long as it reaches a certain age, the elasticity is also extremely strong, that is to say, toughness, but the toughness of plants has a characteristic, slow growth, Cook saw that there is no shortage of two or three hundred years of plants, and he was even more amazed, obviously this is something that has been passed down from generation to generation.
"Hehe, young man, I'm just afraid that I'm wrong, how can the things in my yard be worth hundreds of millions of gold coins!" At this time, a spirited old man came out of the plant bushes in the middle of the courtyard, and said with a smile.
"Impossible!" Hosted looked at the plants in a yard, which seemed to be about the same as his own yard, tall and short.
When Cook heard this, the magic eye inadvertently swept over the old man, and Cook was also surprised after glancing at it, because this old man was already a legendary-level powerhouse, Cook held back the shock in his heart, because the legendary powerhouse was like a distorted light ball in Cook's magic eye, which Cook had already experienced.
Cook didn't immediately refute, but reached out and touched a plant beside him, the wood magic flicked slightly, and then Cook's eyes widened in disbelief, and then Cook directly dug into the root of this cow tendon tree with his hands.
"Magic crystal, high-grade fire magic crystal, this old man is sick, he actually ....... Hosted was also curious when he saw Cook's movements, and then saw something at the base of the tree, and shouted with wide eyes.
"Hehe, Hosted, this is the end of not learning and not knowing, and he is a jack of all trades, let me tell you, although this fire-based high-grade magic crystal cannot change the attributes of this cow tendon tree, but under the influence of the fire-based magic crystal for a long time, if the bow made in the future is used by a fire-based professional, the fit will be increased by at least 30%!" Cook smiled and restored the soil, and then interrupted Hosted's words.
"Hey, the boy has some knowledge, come in!" said the old man, looking at Cook in surprise.
"Don't move, this is a legendary-level powerhouse. Cook saw Hosted's displeasure and immediately reminded secretly.
"Wow....... Hosted immediately jumped up, and then immediately covered his mouth, Hosted couldn't believe that the old man in this courtyard was actually one of the people standing at the top of the food chain.
"Chirp!" Cook pushed open the door of the seemingly ordinary courtyard, and the courtyard and the road outside were just a layer of seemingly ordinary fences, no different from other courtyards, and when Cook entered, a blue bird chirped.
The bird is only the size of a palm, but its bright eyes seem to be able to speak, and Cook was shocked when he saw it, this cyan bird is a very rare eighth-level wind-based flying demonic beast, but the most important thing about this flying demonic beast is speed, of course, what is the body of the eighth-level demonic beast, there is no need to go into details.
"It seems that you are also bottlenecked, and you came to the door for the first time today, and there are no gifts, just this little heart. Cook looked at the bird, reached out and pulled out an apple-sized green mushroom from the natural space, and said with a smile.
"Damn!" Huo Side was speechless, you can send a mushroom, according to Huo Stede's idea, just smash it with gold coins, legend, legend also has to eat.
"Huh!" After a sound of surprise, Cook felt as if the whole courtyard had been separated, and Hosted next to him was like a wooden stake, and as for the guards who followed, they did not enter the courtyard.
"Hurricane, take it, this young man has a heart. The old man's voice came from afar, and it seemed to Cook as if he were in an endless distant land, and as if he were speaking in his ear.
"Field!" Cook narrowed his eyes, then handed the cyan mushroom to Windwind.
"Thank you!" said Wind, the little guy the size of a palm, and then a cloud of cyan mist wrapped around the cyan mushroom, which was the elemental fruit, which was not very valuable to Cook.
Of course, Cook also took a risk, but Cook was gambling, because Cook knew that this wind was the old man's pet, and a pet who had been with him for tens or hundreds of years, could the feelings not be deep, and this wind only had the peak level of eight levels, if it couldn't cross the ninth level, then this wind would only have the fate of old death, and the old man would step into the legend, so it would be inevitable to separate in the future, so Cook gambled like this, what Cook didn't expect was that this old man was able to release the primary realm, to be precise, it was a kind of ban, a ban, that is, a kind of shield that restricted people's actions, and there was no reaction without looking at Hosted, that's because Hosted's soul has been imprisoned by this power, including the body, and the people outside also feel whatever happens in the courtyard.
"Please come in!" Seeing that Cook was still moving, the old man inside said politely, and the ban was released.
"Sit!" Cook approached the buildings in the courtyard, seemingly ordinary houses made of wood, but in Cook's eyes, these woods were cherished magical plants.
"Fruit wine made from magic fruits, it seems that your Excellency is a plant cultivator?" Cook looked at a glass of fruit wine flowing with colorful light, Cook was stunned, and then asked curiously.
"Hehe, Baron Cook has good eyesight!" replied the old man with a smile.
"Good wine, good wine!" Cook took a sip and then took a sip, then Cook closed his eyes and said in admiration.
"Hehe!" The old man was a little embarrassed, because just now the old man pointed out Cook's identity in order to seize the initiative in the conversation, but Cook ignored it at all, and what Cook did also made the old guy unable to be angry, because the wine was given to others by himself, so he had to laugh.
"Your Excellency, let me know you again, I am Baron Cook and the president of the Hunters' Union, and I am here to ask you to take up the position of the head of the equipment system of the Hunters' Union. Cook then said respectfully.
"Hehe!" the old man smiled, but the smile was a little bitter, obviously the gift that Cook gave just now made the old man a little entangled.
"In this way, let's try it, there are three questions in total, you come out first, if I can't answer it, then you still make the question, if I answer it, I should make the question, how about it, and so on?" The old man is really a little unwilling, you must know that in the eyes of the old man, Cook is just a nouveau riche, yes, a white nouveau riche, but this nouveau riche gives himself a gift is really valuable, and he can't refuse, and he is a dignified legendary-level powerhouse, working for a nouveau riche, it is really a little faceless, so the old man came up with such an idea.
"Okay, but are we going to limit a range?" Cook thought about it and knew that the old man had the intention of rejecting himself, according to common sense, the old man is a legend, he has lived for hundreds of years, and his knowledge must be richer than Cook's, which is also the reason why the old man asked Cook to answer the question first, according to the old man's thoughts, Cook answered the question by himself, so the next two questions were not his own sure victory, but Cook still agreed, because Cook had the certainty that the old man could not answer.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you, I don't limit the scope. The old man waved his hand generously.
"Is it possible that if you lose, you will be able to take up the post of Minister of Armament?" Cook reconfirmed.
"Yes!" replied the old man in the affirmative.
"Well, for the sake of fairness, let's make a magical contract. Cook was still not reassured, so he spoke.
"That's what I want!" the old man thought to himself, because the things Cook took out were too precious, so the old man was also afraid that Cook would turn his face, you must know that although Cook is a nouveau riche, he is also an energy nouveau riche, and the old man doesn't want to cause trouble.
The contract was signed very smoothly, the old man looked at Cook expectantly, Cook coughed, and then began to say, "Your Excellency, I'm going to start the problem?"
"Say!" said the old man with a wave of his hand.
"What is the speed of light?" asked Cook in a leisurely voice.
"What?" said the old man, his mouth wide open in surprise, and he almost fell to the ground, knowing that the two were sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"What is the speed of light?" asked Cook again.
The old man was stunned for a moment, but the old man immediately said: "The questions we ask must be able to answer and prove by ourselves, not just casual words." ”
"Okay then, I'll change it. Cook was silent, although Cook knew the answer, but it was still very troublesome to confirm it.
"What shape is our plane?" said Cook, another question.
"Poof!" the old man finally fell to the ground.
"I said don't ask these unanswered questions, okay?" said the old man, standing up and angry.
"So you can't answer?" asked Cook, smugly.
"Hmph, I won't be able to fight, you answer to show me?" the old man sat down angrily and said angrily.
