The leisurely life of a magician

"Lack of manpower." Li Ke got off the remote control car and said to Robert.

After hearing this, Robert understood what Li Ke meant, that is to say, he wanted these guards to help him collect sour fruits.After all, this remote control car can only seat five people, and it cannot bring all the other guards with it.

Even if they could be brought, those soldiers would probably not ride in the same car with them, after all, nobles and commoners are of different classes.

As for Li Ke, he only remembered when he saw Rui Dela with the guards. There are only three of them who can pick the fruit, and of course it is impossible for him to pick it.If there is an appointment...

"Shall we go pick sour berries, then?" Robert asked.

"I heard that there is honey syrup in the sour fruit forest?" Li Ke said.

Robert scratched his face: "I-I don't know about this..." When he was taken over by Duke Bateman, he had never been in this sour fruit forest.

"I know this!" Xiaogong raised his hand and said, "There is honey syrup here! It tastes sweet too! Usually it is put into soup for seasoning."

"Probably that, you bring those guards and get me some back." Li Ke said to Xiaogong.

"Okay, my lord great sage!" After finishing speaking, Xiaogong excitedly greeted the guards and set off to the sour fruit forest.

"Shall we pick sour berries?" Robert asked.

"Yeah." Li Ke nodded, "Where is the best place for sour fruit to grow?"

Robert; ... I don't know! !

"Let me take you there." Mitchell said, "the Chamber of Commerce once sold sour fruit for a while, so I also investigated the fruit tree of sour fruit. The utilization rate of sour fruit is not very popular, although mature The fruit is slightly sour, but not as good as unripe sour fruit.

After all, the sour taste of the fruit is light, which will greatly reduce the refreshing effect.Generally, picking sour fruits will also be picked during this period, and after a while, sour fruits will not be of much use. "

"Can I buy this sour fruit forest?" Li Ke asked Mitchell after thinking about it.

"Do you want to buy it?" Mitchell didn't quite understand Li Ke's thoughts. Although sour fruit can refresh you, the demand is not high, and you can't make much money even if you sell it. "This land can indeed be bought, but It doesn't have much value, so even a rich businessman wouldn't waste his money on it."

"Whether to buy or not, wait until the candied haws are made." Li Ke replied.If the candied haws he made were not tasty, then he didn't plan to invest.

Of course, he didn't have a penny on him.All his money is kept by John. I heard that when John saw wine and wheat, he also invested in it. The return on capital should be considerable.

So buying a sour fruit forest shouldn't be a problem.

"Hmm." Mitchell was also waiting for the candied haws that Li Ke said. After eating roasted mushrooms and wheat food development, his intuition told him that Li Ke should bring him another surprise.Since Li Ke has the idea of ​​buying sour fruit trees, it must be linked to food.

Maybe you can make another big fortune.

Li Ke has no objection to Mitchell's calculations. Of course, as a businessman, he must value profits.And he doesn't mind helping Mitchell, he can be regarded as a friend after all.There are many excellent businessmen in this world, and there are also many people who can gradually develop small chambers of commerce into large-scale chambers of commerce.

But the only businessman he knew was Mitchell.Although the social circle is a bit weak, Li Ke still has a good eye for people.Even Robin didn't become a member of the Holy Knights as he expected.

……

The deeper you go into the fruit forest, the more snow you will have under your feet.

"My lord, let's take a rest first?" Robert pulled his legs out of the snowdrift that submerged his knees, and wiped off the snow powder on his trouser legs.

"Yeah." Li Ke nodded, his eyes suddenly stopped on a sour fruit tree.Mitchell noticed Li Ke's movement and looked over. It was a dead sour fruit tree. "Because of the climate and natural enemies, there are fruit trees dying here every year."

"En." Li Ke walked to the dead fruit tree and used magic to peel off the bark of the fruit tree.

"What are you going to do?" Robert asked curiously.

"Skis." Li Ke said.The further you go into the forest, the deeper the snow will be, so walking is impractical, not to mention a waste of time and energy, it is better to use skis to slide over.

If possible, he would like to make a sleigh cart, after all, Robert and Mitchell can't help pull the cart, right?No, actually it’s okay to think about it, anyway, it’s fine if it’s not him.

"What are skis?" Robert asked again.

"You'll know later." After Li Ke made the skis out of the bark, he used magic to add [Strength] and [Toughness]. The bark material is too brittle, and it will break soon if you don't use some methods.Fortunately, this is the world of magic, which is quite convenient in this kind of thing.

Li Ke handed the skis and poles to Mitchell and Robert, and then tied the skis to his feet. This design is similar to modern skis. The fixation is fixed by magic, and there is no need to worry that it will fall off during the sliding process. , and the struts are also reinforced, so there will be no accidents of breaking.

"Just follow me." Li Ke supported the pole with both hands, borrowed the principle of action force and reaction force, and quickly slid out a lot without much effort.

Mitchell and Robert started skiing in a manner. At first, they were a little out of balance, but they both learned it very quickly.Both of them are the type who love actual combat, which is different from those who specialize in theory and academics, so they have relatively strong hands-on ability.

"This thing really works! Yoho!" Robert yelled excitedly, even though the cold wind blowing on his face cut his face a bit.

"That's right, if it can be mass-produced..." Mitchell seems to have found a business opportunity from it. Although snow is not available all year round, it can be a limited winter event, such as a skiing competition or something.

Then use rewards as a gimmick to attract investment from other stores and sponsors, thus forming a complete entertainment industry chain.It would be even better if the nobles were interested.It is not easy to get money from nobles compared to commoners, but as long as you can get their attention, it is much easier.

"Are you saying that you want to hold this as a skiing event?" Robert also had some guesses about Mitchell's thoughts. Although he was sincere about Graeme, he was not an idiot who didn't know anything.In order to maximize his profits, he will also act stupid to relax the vigilance of others.

Duke Bateman is one of them.But Robert knew very well in his heart that he seemed unable to fool Li Ke. Although he didn't know the reason, his intuition told him not to fool Li Ke, otherwise everything would be over.

In fact, even if his intuition didn't remind him, he didn't dare to fool Li Ke.That guy can [disappear magic], a terrifying existence that can erase people from this world.

"Yes, what do you think?" Mitchell asked Robert.

"If you can really form an industrial chain, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of benefits." Robert said, "If you really want to invest, remember to call me! I will also invest part of it."

You must know that Graham's production is quite expensive, and it is impossible for him to wait for the Duke of Bateman to give him money, and he is not willing to do such a thing as putting his own destiny in the hands of others.

As for Li Ke, that is of course an exception.Besides, the two of them are cooperating for mutual benefit, and it is not considered as putting their fate in the hands of others.

At this moment, Li Ke, who was originally in front, suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Mitchell and Robert also stopped.

Mitchell asked, "Li Ke, what's wrong?"

"Front." Li Ke said lightly, then raised his hand.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of the snow turtle on the ground.

"White dog?" Robert stared at the white dog for a moment, "Did we save that one?"

"It should be." Mitchell has also done research on White Dog. Although he is not a businessman who mainly sells Warcraft, he needs to dabble in each commodity to avoid being deceived when dealing with others. "The white dog still has blood on it."

"But we didn't find any footprints along the way?" Robert was surprised by the appearance of this white dog. How could this guy appear in the snow for no reason without leaving a trace?

Mitchell couldn't understand Robert's words. Recently, the nobles are all popular with things made of white dog fur, and they should know a thing or two about the habits of white dogs.Even that rich lady, Rui Dela, probably can tell one or two points, right?

But although he had some doubts in his heart, Mitchell still explained: "The white dog can make holes in the snow, no, it can still make holes even in the soil."

"Huh? Why?"

"They already lived in the soil?" Mitchell looked at Robert strangely, "Don't you know?"

"I don't know..." Robert shook his head. This white dog looks like a dog. Why does it burrow like a groundhog?This made him a little puzzled.

"Li Ke, what are you going to do with it?" Mitchell slid to Li Ke's side and asked him, since Li Ke didn't kill the white dog, it means he didn't want its life.

"I have a more labor-saving method." Li Ke said lightly, "As long as I have this guy, then I don't need to ski by myself."

"Do you want to sit on the back of the white dog?" Mitchell persuaded, "I advise against it, because these guys can't help but start digging holes and maybe run into the snow. "

"It can't get in." Li Ke said.

"Why..." Before Mitchell finished speaking, he saw the white dog who wanted to dig a hole pawed the snow for a long time, without even scratching the snow skin.

Seeing this, Robert slid to the side of the white dog, and then planed it with his hands, and then there was a hole.

Watching all this, the white dog whined aggrievedly.

The author has something to say: Li Ke: I am happy to have found a substitute for pulling a sled.

White dog; woo woo woo woo!

Robert: What are you talking about?I do not understand.

White dog: #￥[email protected]#4%!

Robert: Well, I still don't understand, can you speak human language?

White dog: (As a dog, I am too difficult)
