Please abide by the Basic Law

Cecil thought that the castellan would also be a muscular man. After all, the magic bread eaten by the rich is absolutely healthy and nutritious. Unexpectedly, the castellan finally fit the image of a feudal landlord he imagined: big belly, full face, fair and plump His appearance made the city owner look quite young, but his overly drunk appearance still revealed his true age.

"Welcome to Ebo, Your Highness Langdon, Biers is here to listen to the divine voice." The castellan said politely, pointing to a chair next to the "window", "Please take a seat."

"Listen to the voice of the gods" does not have the all-purpose polite words of the clergy to the priests. As a knight, "listen to the voice of the gods" is a greeting that cannot go wrong no matter what.

There was one thing Cecil didn't understand, why did these people call him "His Royal Highness Langdon"?Langdon is the first name, isn't it true that the world doesn't call the first name?Or is it not actually a first name and a last name?

With such doubts in mind, Cecil took his seat.

This is a set of leather sofas. The skeleton should be wood and then covered with a layer of cowhide. It is probably filled with some linen and cotton fabrics. It is slightly elastic when sitting on it, but it is still not comparable to modern sofas.

Cecil felt that if it wasn't for the "fearless face", it would be inevitable that there would be a look of disgust in his eyes.

Bills and Langdon sang in unison as if they were matching their lines, spit out all kinds of greetings, Cecil could understand at first, but afterward it was like a bible, the words were all understood but the combined meaning was completely different I understand, there are all kinds of stalks and allusions in it. This is an act of showing off your education and showing off your wealth in disguise, because it is impossible for ordinary people to receive relevant education.

Finally, after five minutes of nonsense, Langdon brought up the topic: "My dear Knight Commander has a new discovery that I would like to discuss with you."

"Oh?" Bills turned his fat face to Cecil. "It must be a pleasant novelty. I've heard of beef noodles. According to my chef, it's a fresh taste I've never experienced before."

"Of course." Cecil tried hard to make his tone sound amused, but it was a bit unsuccessful. It was easier to smile on the surface, "It's about leather."

Biers' smile froze for a moment, even Cecil could see it, but he quickly adjusted and said politely, "What is it?"

Cecil directly handed over a piece of parchment, written in Chinese, but it doesn't matter, anyway, there is no problem with interpreting the magic language. He often sighed, what would happen if he could return to Earth with the interpreting magic like!

That's how ordinary people are, their minds are full of money.

After Biers took the parchment, his expression finally couldn't help but his smile disappeared. He frowned and stared at the title of the parchment: leather tanning method.

First use "white ash" to corrode the meat, hair and fat on the leather, and then scrape off the residue to get a dry and hard raw leather.Afterwards, the skin is soaked in dog and pigeon dung water, and the enzymes in the dung water decompose part of the skin fibers, softening the cortex, and this substance can also be obtained in the pancreas of animals.Next, the tannic acid extracted from the oak bark is used to further strengthen the cortex, making the leather wear-resistant, heat-resistant and waterproof, and the soft and good leather is obtained before cutting, dyeing and other processes.

Glauber's salt in radish can also be used to strengthen the cortex, and the extraction process of Glauber's salt is also attached to the back of the sheepskin roll.

Biers watched very slowly, stopping from time to time to show a pensive expression. It took about 20 minutes to post it all. Cecil sat on the sofa and cast an inexplicable expression at Langdon from time to time, until the mustache came down the stairs. pop up.

"Your Highness Langdon." After Biers spoke again, his tone became very serious, "Can you guarantee that everything said here is true?"

"No." Langdon replied with a smile, telling the lie he had told Cecil in advance, "I have seen the real thing, but I haven't seen the production process with my own eyes. You should understand that such advanced technology must be strictly controlled. It is not easy to obtain such a process with the confidentiality."

Bills nodded, "I understand."

"So, you can go ahead and experiment. The items required above are nothing compared to magic. If you succeed, you will get a very considerable profit. If you fail, it is just a small attempt." Langdon said The tone was quite sincere, "I don't think you will mind."

Bills glanced at the parchment and then out of the "window". After a long time, he threw the parchment on the side table and chuckled: "Magic leather products can achieve all the results mentioned above."

"The cost is different." Langdon said quickly.

"So what? Even if the production is successful, it can't be sold as magic leather. You can tell if there are any magic fluctuations." Bills flipped the sheepskin contemptuously, as if it was nothing in his eyes, "Magicians I don’t care about such little tricks at all.”

"But other people care." Cecil couldn't help it anymore. Langdon's negotiating skills are more similar to card-playing negotiations, while he is more inclined to incitement, with a different style of painting, "Your Excellency Bills, we must confirm a fact, Magicians are always a minority, and most of the people in this world are ordinary people. You probably think that commoners are not customers at all, and they have no money and can’t afford excellent leather products. That’s because magic leather is too expensive and requires magic The magician has already limited the output of magic leather. This—” he pointed to the sheepskin roll, “this one is different, it only needs a little experiment, and human eyes will not be unable to distinguish good or bad items because of magic. The reason why magic is widely used is that ordinary technology cannot achieve the same effect, but now, we can, magic is no longer necessary, just a few ordinary people can make magicians dispensable."

Langdon wanted to interrupt Cecil's narration several times, but he ignored them intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't realize that something was wrong until he saw Biers' face obviously darken.

"With all due respect, Cecil Knight Commander." Bills' voice seemed to hit Cecil's heart one by one, "I am also a magician, and I am also a recognized master of magic leather, all the masters in Porto Toto The magic leather items are all my own."

Langdon's smile stiffened, and Cecil felt that the situation was over, but he still wanted to struggle.

"Your Excellency Bills, imagine that a gray avenue extends from the Valley of the Falling Wind. Regardless of the wind and rain, there are vehicles rushing out day and night, and the leather products of Ebo are continuously sent to the port of Toto. Doors and magic ships are shipped all over the world. Tens of thousands, no, maybe hundreds of millions of people, including elves, will use Ebo's leather products. It may be just a small archery finger or a small leather bag for things, but , with these hundreds of millions of leather products, how much will the reputation of Moosei be spread?!"

These words hit the heart, and Biers' expression softened.

"This is something that magic will never be able to do!" Langdon tried his best to stir up emotion, and he almost shed a few tears. "Magicians are excellent and at the same time a small number. This is something ordinary people can't surpass no matter how hard they try." Natural moat, but this technology is different. You can train tens of thousands of such leather makers. Their works will spread all over the world. They are low-priced, high-quality, and large in quantity. No country, civilization, or magician can defeat Ebo !Your magical leather products can occupy the top customers as unique masterpieces, but these ordinary leather products can occupy everyone except the top customers! Ebo will monopolize the leather product industry and become a veritable god! "

Becoming a main god is not only a god but also the dream of many believers!

A main god can formulate standards in this related field, just like the "law of wills", the influence of these gods on related fields can even cross the barriers of civilization!

I said sweet is good, sweet is good, even if you are also useless to manage porridge, I am the main god!

If we said that the atmosphere was still lightening up before, Bills had already revealed a look of fanaticism, but he soon returned to normal, smiling and saying, "Sounds good."

"It's real, achievable results," Cecil sells with peddler enthusiasm. "It doesn't make any sense for me to lie to you about this."

"Isn't it for the beef noodles?" Bills laughed.

"Beef noodles are nothing at all!" Cecil was "moved" as he talked, and waved his hand proudly, "This! The stuff inside is the real treasure! You may not think it now, But when you push things forward step by step, you will soon understand that the Lord God is not out of reach!"

When it comes to this point, there is no point in muttering any more, and then it depends on the customer's decision.That's why Bills is the lord of the city, so if he is just a magic leather craftsman, he probably has given an order by now, and he has thrown [-] knives and axes from left and right.

Cecil also asked Langdon worriedly: "What if he values ​​the identity of a magician more?"

"No." Langdon said with certainty, "There is more than one magic leather master in this world, and he is not the top one, but there is only one leader of the Ebo civilization. If he can push the Ebo civilization to the world world, then he will become Ebo's only one, and becoming the world's top magic leatherworker is almost impossible, he is not young anymore."

In fact, as Langdon said, when Bills got angry, he only dared to blow to the range of Port Toto, but he didn't dare to blow it to the whole world.

Bills was silent, with his fingers on the parchment, as if meditating on something. After an unbearable silence, he said softly: "Your statement is very insightful, and I don't see any traps in it. After all, this Whether it succeeds or fails, it is of no benefit to you, and I believe what you say."

Cecil cheered inwardly, the heat rushing through his veins almost made him want to jump.The ensuing meeting was much more enjoyable. Bills asked many technical questions in detail, and it was obvious that he was indeed an expert. In the end, he decided to try it out as soon as possible. As for the beef noodles, it really became something worthless to talk about. up.

The city lord didn't care about the meal, and Cecil didn't want to see more magic bread at all. It was getting late, and after making an appointment for the next meeting, he and Langdon said goodbye and left.

As soon as he was out of sight of the seeing-off staff, Langdon wrapped his arms around Cecil's shoulders, leaned into his ear and said softly, "Good job!"

Cecil was elated, no matter what, it was a small victory, and then he heard Langdon continue: "What is the gray road that is not afraid of the wind and rain?"
