Chapter 214 Chapter 187 Panning for Gold in the Sand

Ruo Lin looked at the guy brought in by Master Du Wei in surprise. Her first impression was: Is this guy a monkey?Or, is it the legendary orc?Monkey family? That's right, he's almost like a humanoid horse monkey - except that he has lost his hair. "This is Mr. Zach." Du Wei's tone of introduction was very polite, so Ruolin immediately withdrew her eyes, she knew that it was very impolite to look at people like this, and it was brought by Master Du Wei with such solemnity The tone of the introduction of the character. "Hello, Your Majesty the beautiful female knight." Zac was well dressed, but on his head was a small melon hat that would be worn by a typical small businessman, and there was a thin small hat on it. Ruolin took off her hat, bent down, and smiled very politely, which is also a typical warm smile of a businessman: "Nice to meet you. Please call me Zach, or my friends call me Xiao." Zach, oh, it's to separate me from my dead father."

"Zac is a genius I met today. I think he is very talented in business management." Du Wei blinked at Ruolin, then walked to the female knight, and laughed in a low voice: "Ruolin, I I know you don’t really like your current job, right? Then Zach will be under your control starting today. You can teach him everything as soon as possible and let him get familiar with it as soon as possible. One day I think he can replace you When you work here...you can go back to manage that fleet as you wish." Ruolin's eyes lit up, and immediately, the female knight looked at the big horse monkey with a much more friendly look, and she even felt that the big horse monkey seemed quite cute when he smiled.

"So, he was transferred to me now?" Ruo Lin glanced at Du Wei. Zach himself replied: "Not bad... Oh, my God, this is really a magical day. When the Duke walked into my little shop, I really didn't expect that I would meet the famous Tulip Duke today. As a result, I didn't sell my gold package service, but His Excellency the Duke bought me together with my small shop." Soon, Ruolin took little Zach to look around in this shop, and then Zach immediately put forward some opinions of his own - he seemed to have a natural businessman's temperament, and he was not stage frightened or nervous at all. , as long as anything related to buying and selling is mentioned, the big horse monkey's eyes will shine.

"How is it? Zack?" Du Wei looked at the guy he brought back expectantly. He believed that he had never misjudged him. He could come up with the idea of ​​the so-called "service package" for the first time in this world. Guy, if not a genius, at least a geek. "With all due respect, I think...the problem is very big." Zach expressed his opinion without hesitation: "I just took a look, Mr. Duke, the only things currently sold in this store are these Weapons...weapons...weapons...oh, magic weapons...still weapons. God, don't we have anything else in our lives but weapons?"

Ruolin is slightly dissatisfied, after all, she is the person in charge here now: "Mr. Zac, we also make some clothing, such as warrior's battle robes, and..." "These can be regarded as equipment in the range of weapons." Zach curled his lips. Then this guy actually sat down casually, and took a glass of wine brought by a beautiful female slave next to him. He took it unceremoniously, drank it in one gulp, and sighed comfortably: "Good wine, god Testify, I have never drank such wine in my life. I am afraid that this kind of wine will cost a silver coin for a pot, right?"

"It's gold coins...one gold coin and one cup." Ruo Lin said lightly. Zach stared, carefully looked at the wine glass in his hand, and quickly put it down, before continuing: "Okay, where did I just say? Oh, yes...weapon. Your Excellency Duke, and Your Excellency, this beautiful female knight. Although I am a low-level person, a small boss at the bottom, I can tell that the customers facing this shop are all respectable nobles in the imperial capital, right? Then , Excuse me, what are those aristocratic gentlemen buying so many weapons for?" What he said made Ruolin stopped by the question.

Then Zach's next remarks made Du Wei very satisfied. "Those nobles are people of status. They don't wear armor and hold sharp weapons like those real warriors or adventurers, and go to the frozen forests of the Northland or the swamps of the South to take risks and hunt. Warcraft, they don’t do that. The weapons they bought back... I think they are more for showing off and showing off. Those gorgeous armors, beautiful knight long swords, and battle robes, they are for wearing out in those Aristocratic ladies show off their heroic appearance... Yes, I'm right, it's showing off, just like a peacock spreading its tail."

"You're right, we've thought of this too." Ruo Lin replied, "So our things here are all about gorgeousness and style." "I can see it." Zach nodded: "From the perspective of business methods, beautiful female knight, there is nothing wrong with your current approach." Ruo Lin immediately said: "These are Lord Duke's ideas, I'm just implementing them." "But!" Zac interrupted Ruo Lin's words unceremoniously: "I said that the 'method' is correct, but the 'direction' is wrong." "Go on!" Seeing that Ruolin was about to refute, Du Wei immediately glanced at Ruolin, and said calmly, "Mr. Zach, please go on."

Zach smiled. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment, kissed his lips, and then smiled shyly: "That... that glass of wine, can I have another glass?" "Ask someone to bring a pot to our Mr. Zac." Du Wei ordered immediately. Afterwards, Zac took the wine jug brought by a beautiful female slave with both hands, and while tasting the wine, he said with a smile: "Okay, my lord duke, then what I want to say may be a little...uh, I just hope, You mustn't mind." "Of course, I like your ideas." Du Wei gave this guy full confidence: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you back."

"I think the business here is right now, but in the wrong direction." Zach put down the jug, then wrung his fingers and said: "Those noble gentlemen, those young nobles, they really Will spend a lot of time pleasing ladies, pleasing pretty girls, showing off to girls, doing shows... But these are only a part of the lives of nobles, even a small part... After all, evil spirits in sex are still A few people. Most of the nobles, there are more colorful things in their lives. Simply put... it is enjoyment and entertainment!" Enjoy and entertain? Zach smiled and said: "In my opinion, humans and pigs are a very interesting comparison... Uh, what is a pig? The life of a pig is equal to: eating and sleeping. What about humans? Humans are slightly richer than pigs: eating and sleeping Work more, enjoy more."

After a pause, this Mr. Zac made a brilliant summary: "So, if you can't enjoy yourself, it's equal to: a pig who can work." "The life of most aristocrats, enjoyment is the main thing. Of course they are not pigs. Their lives are far more exciting than pigs. But we have not grasped their greatest needs: clothing! Food! Housing! OK! ... And now what? , weapons? Weapons are just a very, very small part." "I saw that all the things here are made of precious and rare magic materials, many of them are... I think, Mr. Duke, you must have a fixed supply, and you can continuously obtain these precious magic materials. .Then, can we only use the magic cores of these monsters, as well as those precious magic gems, crystals, plants... for weapons? Can't they be used for other things?" Du Wei's eyes lit up, and he exchanged a glance with Ruolin. "An ordinary long sword in the market can be sold for two silver coins. What about a small necklace worn by noble ladies? It's just an ordinary gemstone necklace, probably... twenty silver coins. A set of high-quality The knight's shirt probably sells for...five silver coins. And what about a good nobleman's dress? Oh, I don't know much about this, but the price is definitely much more expensive than the shirt." "I saw a suit of armor here just now, and my God, I have to say...it's so beautiful! It's always covered with a faint white light, oh, just like when I went to worship and pray in the temple last month , The holy light I saw! So beautiful, so beautiful! What if... I mean, what if we use this kind of thing in the jewelry used by noble ladies? And the one I saw just now... ...Oh, that thing is the wand used by a magician, right? This is the first time in my life I have seen a wand used by a magician. I heard from Your Excellency Ruolin that it is specially used for water magicians? It can be naturally condensed ...what's that thing called?" "Water element." Ruolin replied. "Oh! That's right! It's the water element." Zach smiled slyly: "What if we use these things on the rings for those noble ladies? Necklaces? Bracelets? Wait... what about these? Imagine , what do the ladies always complain about? They say 'oh man, it's so dry, my skin is going to be damaged.' So what we sell them, tell them, just wear our products, It can maintain a little water vapor around the body at any time... Imagine, how attractive is this? The water sapphire on the wand I saw, such a large piece, if cut, can make several sets of jewelry Already!" "Also... oh, this is my own imagination, if I'm wrong, please don't mind your Excellency the Duke and the female knight." Zach continued: "Every winter, I will listen to those rich people who come and go. The wealthy businessmen complained that the fur coats on them were too heavy and it was inconvenient to move around. Moreover, in winter, everyone was dressed like a big meatball. They wore thick fur scarves around their necks and Thick fur coat, and leather boots.. God, how heavy it is! If we... oh, excuse me, I am not a magician, but I want to use magical magic, it can always be done... whether Can make clothes with a light material, just like the ones we wear in summer, and girls can show their beautiful bodies, beautiful legs, and at the same time, keep warm! Hmm? What do you think? I think many aristocrats are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of thing! What do aristocrats like? What they like is enjoyment! You are wearing a light and beautiful gown, the girls can still show off their curvaceous waists, and the men can still wear the hunting suits they wear in summer..." Du Wei sighed: "You're right...and these can be done...God, and it's very simple, as long as you use a piece of the cheapest fire-type ruby, you can cut it into countless pieces and make many of them. Planting clothes..." Zach seemed to be full of whimsical ideas, but Du Wei had already stopped him: "Okay, Zach! My dear Zach! Enough is enough...every one of your thoughts, I You all find it very interesting, I think, you can have a careful talk with Ruolin about these things, and have a good talk! I think these ideas of yours can all be realized." Ruolin also began to admire this big horse monkey... although he looks ugly and a bit rude. But I have to admit that this guy is really talented. Ruolin already seemed to see the vast blue ocean, and her own fleet beckoning to her! "Then, now I think I can make a decision." Du Wei pondered for a while: "Zach, from today onwards, you are the deputy manager here. Except Ruo Lin, you can command all the people here. Of course, you still need to be familiar with this place, so for the time being, Miss Ruolin will still make decisions about the management of this place, but I don’t think this time will be very long. Then, you are now the deputy manager here , What about your salary, I will give you fifteen gold coins per month, plus a monthly profit dividend, the ratio is the same as that of Miss Ruolin. Are you satisfied with this?" Zach immediately got down from the chair, with a grateful face, took off his hat and saluted Du Wei. He is so satisfied.You know, originally running that small hotel, even in the busiest peak season, only earned five or six gold coins in a month. Moreover, he was originally just a small boss, but now, he hugged the youngest duke of the recently popular empire... From now on, he will be a member of the upper class! Then Du Wei left satisfied. Before leaving, he confessed to Ruo Lin: "Take him well to familiarize himself with the environment here...and, um, teach him some etiquette that he should learn. I don't want to look at this guy in the future." Mr. Zac crossed his legs in front of our honored guests, those earls and dukes, and spoke foul language with a mouthful of alcohol." ... Zack's small hotel had already been bought by Du Wei on the spot, and then two pirates were transferred from Ruo Lin's hands to take care of it temporarily, and all the guests in the hotel were invited away, and the small hotel was announced to the public. Closed and no longer open. And Hussein and Nicole have arrived, and they live in the backyard of the shop. Ruo Lin and Hussein Nicole's meeting, there is nothing to say, Hussein is still very indifferent, but after seeing Du Wei, he carefully looked at the little nobleman, the paladin after blinding one eye , looked more ruthless, but he still said something that showed some concern for Du Wei. "Your skills have regressed a lot, haven't you practiced the moves I gave you recently?" That's right, Du Wei didn't have much time to practice recently, and most of his time was spent on researching and learning magic. Thanks to the magic society, after many magicians contributed their research results, the one who got the most benefit was Du Wei, a super magician who "doesn't deserve his name".He almost forgot to sleep and eat, studying the magic research results sorted out by the Magic Society.And no one would believe that this disciple of Master Gandolf, Mr. Great Magician, who is considered a genius boy, would steal a lesson! Of course, after meeting Hussein and Nicole, Du Wei did not forget to ask Queen Medusa for a hair. Tomorrow when the Academy of Magic is in class, he will teach the students how to deal with the golden-eyed python. As for Nicole... After confirming that Nicole hadn't opened her eyes to anyone, or accidentally petrified anyone, Du Wei left with peace of mind. The paladin and the beautiful snake are two dull bastards who don't like to talk, let them be depressed about each other.After all, it's too close to the imperial capital, so it's better to be careful.As long as it takes a while to reach the northwest, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly. The only thing worth mentioning is... Vivian didn't come back with Du Wei. This is the request of Queen Medusa.When she faced Du Wei with her eyes closed, Du Wei suddenly felt a bit of chill... He wondered if Miss Nicole's mana had improved again? "That female apprentice of Master Gandolph, stay with me." Nicole said lightly: "You promised to teach me humanity and the human way of life, but since I followed you out, I have been hiding in the room Can't go out..." Du Wei was speechless immediately, he felt Queen Medusa's dissatisfaction.Now he doesn't have the strength to challenge this terrifying Queen Medusa... This woman's strength can even petrify a strong man like the dragon patriarch, forcing the majestic dragon patriarch to use it once in a hundred years The life-saving trick "Guardian of the Dragon God". There was no room for negotiation, so Du Wei had no choice but to leave little Vivian to accompany the beautiful snake. "Baby, be careful, as long as you don't look into her eyes at any time... Well, she is quite easy to get along with except for being a bit boring." However, Du Wei made a mistake. A big big mistake. He already had a preconceived idea in his heart, labeling the Queen of Medusa as a "strong person", but he forgot that this powerful Ms. Nicole is actually just a magical beast who evolved into a human being... In addition to the housekeeping skill of petrification , this "strong man" doesn't seem to know any other magic. Sure enough, after Du Wei left, Medusa and Vivian had been alone for less than five seconds... "Can you teach me magic?" Queen Medusa made her request thus. Would simple, naive little Vivienne refuse? God knows…… ... Du Wei returned to his mansion alone, and he was very satisfied with today's harvest.The big horse monkey named Zac can be expected. With this geek, Du Wei seems to be able to see that there will be a lot of gold coins flying into his pocket in the future. And he had just returned to his temporary mansion, and before he got off his horse, he saw the white fat General Two Hundred and Five sitting on a strong horse... The poor horse seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the Two Hundred and Five General. Standing there struggling, it can be seen that this poor horse is suffering the most severe test since its birth! And next to him, the little smart ghost Sandy was also riding on a brown colt, and the two of them seemed to be about to go out. Little Sandy seemed to be riding a horse for the first time in his life. His expression was very excited, but when he saw Du Wei, he still didn't forget to jump off the horse to salute. "Are you going out?" Du Wei looked at the two hundred and five generals, and suddenly remembered this guy's "lusty" temper... Uh, he didn't want to fool around, did he?But taking Sandy as a little boy to that kind of place? "Yes, my boss." General Longbottom wore his hat on one side, with a dissatisfied expression on his face: "My lord, I found that your mansion is really short of manpower...God, you don't even have a decent man." There are no guards, so I decided to go out and recruit some warriors to come back." Du Wei nodded. Indeed, after the disbandment of the Luolin family, most of the guards followed the old Earl Raymond back to the Luolin Plain, and Du Wei... as a magician, he seemed to ignore his noble status. When he went out, No guards ever followed.At home, there is only Ma De with a few servants. The only orthodox samurai, after all the calculations, are the two hundred and five generals, and the chief guard of Alpha.However, Alpha's bodyguard chief had been seriously injured during the coup day, and he was regarded as a strong general in the "rebel army". Although he followed Du Wei now, in order to avoid suspicion, he seldom went out to show his face. "So, I asked Little Sandy to take me to the slave market to see if I could get some gold out of the sand." General Longbottom sighed and glanced at Du Wei: "Do you want to come with me? Boss ?” "...Okay." Du Wei was a little puzzled. To the slave market? Then he thought of those downcast freelancers standing in the corner on the main street in the slave market looking for a job...but most of them were low-level warriors. Can those people be used?
