"Milk? Powder? ”

Old Tom was a little confused. Milk is liquid and powder is solid, how can these two things be connected?

The word milk powder does not yet exist in the lingua franca of Karthas. When Fang Qiuling described milk powder, he used two words, milk and powder, to describe it together.

"Milk knows, right?" Fang Qiuling rolled his eyes, but still explained, "Remove the water from the milk, and the white powder you get is this." Water is a high component of milk. When the water is removed, the weight becomes lighter. It's also convenient to carry around. Just add some water and stir it when you want to drink it. ”

Old Tom suddenly realized, but then there was a look of contempt on his face.

"Thurik, you're really a lot of things. In order to drink milk, I actually came up with so many curves. ”

In the world's fairly developed food production system, both milk powder and creamer are easily available, and a trip to the supermarket is sufficient. But in Elune, the milk is dehydrated and made into powdered milk...... The difficulty is not ordinary.

“…… Dad, don't talk nonsense, just how it tastes. ”

"It tastes good, but there's no alcohol!"

"Cut! Duplicity guys. ”

Fang Qiuling and Old Tom exchanged topics of non-nutrition.

"You're going back tomorrow?"

"Yes, that's right. Staying here probably won't lead to anything. ”

"Heh, it's really right to detain the guy who reported the news in advance."

"That guy is a thief, and he thinks there's something wrong with it. It is also a good thing for you to believe his words. But I'm also a little strange, the undead or something, shouldn't be afraid of cold or heat, right? ”

"Nonsense, they're all dead with only bones left, and you're still afraid of hot and cold?"

"The undead don't have to be sick or anything."

"Of course, what the hell are you trying to say?"

Fang Qiuling also took the kettle and poured himself a second cup of coffee.

"The undead don't have to worry about eating or drinking, they don't have to dress up, and they don't have to worry about headaches and brain fever. What is the purpose of their caravan coming here? ”

"What's the purpose?" Lily interjected into the conversation, "What could it be! They are all the men of evil wizards, and it is not surprising that they do something bad. ”

"yes, that's right."

Old Tom agreed with Lily's words.

Evil is evil, and it is to do bad things. Isn't it true that the undead will do good deeds?

Fang Qiuling smiled dumbly: "They're doing bad things, that's right. But doing bad things also has a purpose, and it also has to be motivated. For no reason, unless you have a sick brain, you have to talk about some logic. ”

"What does this mean?"

"Logic, meaning is a kind of law and rule of personal thought."

Old Tom shrugged his shoulders, he was already a little dizzy, but he didn't particularly care. Lily was slightly distracted, as if she had thought of something.

Fang Qiuling took a sip of coffee. The coffee without a coffee companion tastes bitter, but it lifts your spirits. Then he continued: "Most people do things in a way and method. I mean normal people, not normal people. ”

He touched Old Tom's cheek with his coffee cup. Old Tom glared at him at once, for the hot cup had burned him!

"Let's give you an example. Daddy, a new group of recruits is coming, and you have to train them. What would you do? ”

Old Tom glanced at Fang Qiuling angrily: "How to do it?" The old rules! ”

"Oh, do physical training first, and discipline at the same time, right?"

"Right...... Don't bring the cup over, it's hot! ”

Fang Qiuling took the cup to burn Old Tom again.

"Oh, if you don't touch it, you won't touch it...... Daddy has been training recruits for years, and he has a good idea of how to train. Each step of the training is purposeful and targeted. This kind of purpose and pertinence, that is, the 'logic' of Daddy's training, is the summary of Daddy's years of experience. ”

Old Tom understood, but he could also say he didn't. What I understood was that Fang Qiuling was complimenting him, but what I didn't understand was the new word "logic" that popped up. So he simply spread his hands.

- Please continue, you are free, don't worry about me.

Another listener spoke slowly: "That is to say, there is always a sequence in the process of dealing with a thing. And there will also be 'why do you do this', 'what are the benefits of doing this', 'what are the consequences of doing this'......"

Lily's words were a bit cumbersome. However, listening to Lily's description, Fang Qiuling felt that she should roughly understand.

"Yes, so you can understand it. Logic can also be said to be the relationship between the cause and the effect of things. Fang Qiuling thought about it, as much as possible, not to use the kind of rhetoric that has become a theory and a system in the present world, and to say it as plainly and simply as possible, "Let me give you a simple example...... Like, why eat? ”

Old Tom casually replied, "I'm hungry." ”

"Yes, that's right, you have to eat when you're hungry. That's the logic. ”

"That's too ......"

"Is there any other reason?"

Lily hesitated to speak, "...... Greedy? ”

"Well, that's good. That's right. Gluttony, too. Fang Qiuling added, "For example, if you are sad, eat something to comfort yourself; For example, if you are angry, eat something to calm your anger; Another example is to defeat a very powerful enemy, and treat yourself to a big meal. ”

"Thulick, how can you get anything on top of food?"

A series of reasons for eating made Old Tom glare at Fang Qiuling fiercely, and Lily couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker. Little Transparent Shino didn't make a sound, but the corners of her mouth showed her thoughts.

Not far away, although the other three paladins were embarrassed to come over to drink coffee, the conversation between the three of them was heard word for word.

"Just a few examples, don't react so much."

"Whoa......

Old Tom's stomach made a loud growl.

"Hahaha......" Fang Qiuling was suddenly happy, "Dad, I'm sorry." I didn't know you were hungry. ”

"Get out!"

Old Tom had a beard all over his face, and I don't know if he was blushing.

After a commotion, Lily and Shino each took a pan-shaped object and roasted it over the campfire. Their eyes were full of curiosity as they stared at the small pot wrapped in tin foil. I heard Fang Qiuling say that it was filled with corn, which could make delicious "popcorn".

Old Tom was clutching a bag of beef jerky and munching on it. Beef jerky is spicy and delicious!

"Daddy, when you're hungry, you're going to eat, so you're going to find a way to get something to eat, right?"

"Yes!"

- This jerky tastes good, so I don't care about you now.

"Did any guy go hungry to train?"

"Hmm...... What do you mean? ”

"Training doesn't fill your stomach, does it? Of course, having something to eat after training is another matter. Is there that idiot who thinks that you don't need to eat when you're hungry, and you'll be full when you train more. My stomach was very hungry, running, running and running. ”

"Impossible!" Lily immediately rolled her eyes, "You said you were stupid!" ”

Old Tom shook his head again and again.

It's ridiculous to have such an idea!

"Yes, that's right. I can't help if there is such a stupid person, but normal people, ordinary people, definitely don't have this kind of thought. This is called 'logic'. Normal people, under normal circumstances, generally do things for a reason. There is no liking for no reason, and there is no annoying ...... for no reason."

Lily's gaze began to turn unkind.

Fang Qiuling was excited, silently slapped his mouth in his heart, and hurriedly continued.

"Evil, Mamo, the Dark Country, the bones do not do good. But even if you do bad things, there is a reason, and there must be a result. Mamo is far away from here, thousands of miles away, thousands of miles to this place, just to intercept and kill a few caravans? What's in it for them? Just for the broken rocks in the mudflats? ”

"Mr. Norn, do you have any guesses?"

Hearing this, Ms. Mogree couldn't help it anymore and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

Paladins are all brainless, and it's hard to get them to change their minds after deciding on something. But brainless is just stubbornness, not inability to use brains. Becoming a paladin requires not only martial arts, but also canons and laws. He was even more educated than many nobles. The nobles didn't learn well because they were just being a gentleman, and the paladins didn't learn well, so it was fatal!

- You can be stubborn, but you must be able to think.

Fang Qiuling's words were not targeted, more just chatting after dinner. But his words were very enlightening, and made Madame Moghley vaguely see a line.

"Yes, I have some guesses."

Fang Qiuling's gaze was calm.

"Can you tell me your guesses?"

Unknowingly, Ms. Mogre used an honorific for Fang Qiuling.

“…… Unfortunately, no. ”

Whether it's the reason for the orc's invasion of Lakesprings, or the reason for the ghosts of the northern trade routes, or the reason for the recent frequent orc activity in the Misty Lake area. Fang Qiuling knew all this.

- The First Kuroshio War.

War is coming. After nearly two centuries of preparation, the self-proclaimed nobles of the Dark Nation of Mamo have amassed enough strength to make their invasion imminent. Now the chain of events is pre-invasion intelligence gathering - infiltration, reconnaissance, probing.

Once the intelligence gathering is over, the First Kuroshio War will break out.

"Why?"

"The results of the speculation are so astonishing that speaking out will only burn myself at the stake, and it will not do me any good. What's more, at this stage, it is only speculation, and there is no real evidence, and no one will believe it if it is said. ”

Fang Qiuling was extremely calm, and even moved the stake directly out.

Elune's people are simple, but they are also a world of ignorance. Even if the gods are looking down on the world, superstitious activities are still inevitable. Burning witches and flooding wizards happen from time to time. And the temple is the main driving force behind these activities, and there is no one.

A prophecy was made in front of the paladin, and it was a prophecy that did not report good news. Does Fang Qiuling think that his life is long?

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little silent.

If it was a week or two ago, Ms. Mogree encountered Fang Qiuling's situation and directly drew her sword and slashed. Those who pretend to be ghosts, even nobles can cut them down. Because none of the nobles are good! But from the beginning of the eradication of orcs to the present, Fang Qiuling's contributions to the Misty Lake have all fallen in her eyes. Whether Fang Qiuling is a good person or not cannot be concluded for the time being, but he is definitely not a bastard aristocrat who bullies men and women and bullies the weak. Judging him is against the rules of the Paladin.

"Hey! What you said seems to make a lot of sense, but," the atmosphere was a little stiff, and Lily hurriedly came out to change the subject, "Bone frame is not human!" You've just said so much, it's useless! ”

Her smile was like that of a child who has caught a loophole in an adult's speech.

"Hmm...... The way of thinking and values of the dead is very different from that of the living, and the hatred of the dead for the living is far beyond anyone's imagination. It seems、It seems that this lady has more sense. You can't speculate on the intentions of the undead in a logical way of thinking, after all, no one knows what they think. What I just said is just my random guess, everyone can listen to it casually, just listen to it as a story. I'm sorry. ”

Fang Qiuling swallowed back all the words he had just said.

"The undead or something, as long as it's a bad thing, they're the ones who do it. That's right, if you see it, you just take it, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

The festival was shattered. The speed at which this change of words is even more speechless.

Most of the face of the "Armor Spirit" Madame Mogre was obscured by her helmet, and her expression could not be seen. But being angry is for sure, and it couldn't be more normal. If nothing happens, it's not normal.

If you say yes, you can't say it. At this time, it was predicted that the first Kuroshio War was coming, and there was no way to escape the charge of "misleading the public". However, it is still okay to disclose a limited amount, after all, you can't really offend this "armor spirit". Lady Mogre had a transcendent position in the Temple of Notos, and there was no good fruit to eat if she offended her. What's more, the "prestige" that has been hard to brush up can't be wasted casually.

"Lady Mogree," Fang Qiuling quietly became extremely serious, "I came to the Misty Lake for a reason, but the specific reason cannot be revealed to you for the time being. You can understand that I am in the midst of a trial, a trial to become the de facto lord of the Norn. Please rest assured that as the Viscount of the Kingdom, I will not act in a manner that would damage the reputation of the Kingdom. I have responsibilities and obligations to my family. To the kingdom, I must also fulfill my duties as a viscount. I will fulfill the mission given by the sages and overcome obstacles in the dark, and I will be duty-bound. ”

Ms. Moghley's gaze suddenly became esoteric.

Viscount Norn was very approachable and easy-going, and seemed to be a man with little temper, but he was undoubtedly a nobleman, and a model among nobles. He was very knowledgeable, and he had the courage to be unmoved even if he was armed with a sword. For such a person with strong convictions, coercion does not make any sense.

Now that Viscount Norn has given the steps and given the promise, it is not necessary to press too hard.

Ms. Moghley touched her chest with her right hand, "Mr. Norn, I'll see." ”
