Lin laughed at this. For a race that is advanced enough and understands engineering, if they are only allowed to do the work of digging holes, wouldn't it be a waste of resources? Besides, he was very interested in what kind of changes would happen if the Earth's machines and metallurgical knowledge were introduced to the Silverbeard dwarves.
Of course, those two aspects are not my expertise. But it's not a big problem to say that some four, five or six come out. If Jermaine is really willing to learn from him, just give him some advice depending on the situation. At least to the other silver-bearded dwarves, Lin had no idea of saying these things.
Maybe it’s impossible to drive a Ferrari, or drive a Sac or a Gundam in your lifetime, but there’s nothing wrong with a large off-road four-wheel drive truck. Driving a sports car requires road coordination, which requires national-level supporting measures; driving a monster truck only requires the heart to crush it all the way.
It's just that this little guy's blind trust is not a good thing. Lin smiled and said: "Little brother, you are planning to pester me without asking me clearly. Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by me?"
"Will you? Will you? Will you do this?" He didn't say that he didn't feel it. When he was reminded, Jermaine asked in fear: "Will you betray me, big brother?"
"Why not. I heard that the two-headed giant likes to eat silver-bearded dwarfs the most. If you don't eat one every day, you will feel uncomfortable. Is that right?" Lin turned to Fen and asked.
And the lich also answered the question very complimentary: "Yes. I heard that they like to eat it raw and tear it into strips. Then they take out the internal organs and make soup, and boil a big pot, which can last for several days. .”
"No!" He howled miserably, but Jermaine was stubborn and said, "I believe that you will never betray me, big brother."
"There is a saying in my hometown: It's not that men won't betray, but the price is not enough; it's not that women won't cheat, it's just that the temptation is not enough. So betrayal is not a very difficult thing as long as the price is enough."
"Are you really going to do this?" Jermaine looked aggrieved and sad, took a few steps back, and said with a flat mouth, "I trust you so much."
"A person of faith can easily become a tool for others. If you really want to leave your hometown, I hope you will be more discerning and not trust others as much as you do today. Even if that person is me."
"But you saved my life from those ghosts."
"That's just the best thing for me to do at the moment. I gained a favor by saving you, and at that time, no one offered a higher price, so I only had one choice left. , isn't it? Regardless of whether you accept this kindness or not, you will want to repay me; when encountering confrontation or conflict, you can consider me a little with this kindness, and this is the price I get. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to give something substantial in return, I won’t object.”
"That is to say, you don't really want to sell us, do you?" Jermaine cautiously asked.
"No one has offered that price yet, so I won't do it for the time being. I don't know the future." Lin said straightforwardly.
"Then what will it take to stop you from considering selling me?"
"Be careful with yourself, I said, don't trust anyone. On the other hand, it is to show your value to me. When the price I have to pay for losing you is far greater than what others can pay, naturally I will not Make that choice." Lin said what he meant seriously.
"this means……?"
"This means that I temporarily agree to let you follow me, because I also have some uses for your skills. But I don't know yet whether the parts you already know are suitable. So I will teach you some necessary knowledge. Of course, it includes what you want to know. If it does come in handy, then I wish you a happy cooperation in advance. If not, haha."
"Hehe." With a shy smile, Jermaine seemed to have forgotten most of the lesson someone wanted to teach him, and only heard the unimportant parts that he wanted to hear. So he said happily: "I know that big brothers are big brothers. I believe that as long as we are honest with each other, we can trust each other."
What a bad guy. Lin thought to himself. So he used the language of the silver-bearded dwarf and said to Jermaine: 'Since I want to travel together. ──'Put your hands on the shoulders of both Jermaine and Riley at the same time. '──There are some things that I should let you know. Otherwise it wouldn't be called a confession, right? '
At the same time, the other two female dwarves were led by Fen.
Jermaine and others were all surprised that the human magician could speak dwarven language fluently. Only then did I realize how deeply someone was hiding. But he never thought that Lin only confirmed that he could speak the language of the silver-bearded dwarves just moments before they appeared. But before they could ask questions, Lin and Fen used a flash technique, and a group of six people appeared above the surface.
Fen flashed again, safely bringing her and the other two back to the surface. Lin brought two dwarves to perform a long-distance flash, which was already the limit of his basic power, so he only added a feather fall technique to the two dwarves he brought, and then flashed back to the ground. And the ears were filled with the ghostly screams of Jermaine and the two men, like they were killing pigs.
The Feather Falling Technique performed by a person with a formal magician level can really make people fall to the ground as lightly as a feather. Of course, the process will take longer, which means that Jermaine and Riley will also be screaming for a longer time. If Lin uses it on himself, he will retain some speed. In short, he can just let himself land without getting hurt.
But even after they landed on the ground, the two frightened dwarves still yelled, unable to control themselves.
When Lin and Fen returned to the surface, they were outside a cave and in front of the cave entrance leading to the ground. It was also the place agreed with the two apprentices where they would camp and wait.
As soon as they saw Fen's appearance, the two girls who had been waiting for a long time immediately swooped down and rubbed against the great former Demon King's chest. "Sister, you are back."
After they felt comfortable, they stopped, and only then did they notice other people besides Fen. "Ah, there are more dwarves."
Whether it was the two female dwarves who were safely brought back to the ground by Fen, or the two who fell back to the ground neither lightly nor heavily, they were all blinded by the bright early morning sun. But Jermaine, who was accustomed to sunlight, immediately jumped in front of Lin and shouted: "Brother, what was that magic just now? Teach me, teach me."
Lin smiled in his heart. What I'm most afraid of is that there are people who have no purpose and stick to me with shamelessness, making them a mess. But as long as there is a request, there is room to operate. So when it came to Jermaine's dream of reaching the sky in one step, he didn't ask any questions, and just mentioned that he wanted to learn the Flash Technique. Someone showed a devilish smile and took out a special browser magic stone from his bag.
The homepage that opens on that thing is not the screen of the forum, but the digitized files of various internal teaching materials and files of the original members of the Tower of Sages. Mathematics, the most evil of all, is placed first.
When Halumi couldn't sleep, opening this book was more useful than taking sleeping pills; even if she was serious like Kaya, she only learned less than one-third of the content. Who knows that most of the knowledge here was forced out by someone by a certain lich who was eager to learn.
Some relatively shallow knowledge still has a systematic context to follow, but those with more in-depth knowledge are just recording whatever comes to mind. No one else but Fin had finished the nibbling. Even Lin himself didn't want to look back.
Although this part has been roughly edited, it was originally intended to be an advanced textbook for Eton College. But he left the college earlier than expected, so he didn't have time to release the ferocious dog named "Advanced Mathematics", which bit the students all over.
Nowadays, there are dwarves who happily put their own skin and tender meat into the dogs' mouths for bites. If Lin didn't let the dog take a bite, he would have wasted more than ten years of being tortured.
A magic stone, as long as the water mirror screen is made large enough, is enough for four people to watch it at the same time. So this novel little thing instantly attracted the attention of the four dwarves. Lin also told them clearly where all his knowledge lies. After that, he was busy with his own things.
As for fear of being persuaded to quit, that doesn't exist. If you can't pass the first level of shocking education, how can you see the future style? Not to mention the many difficulties that will follow. If you can't survive the first level, there will be no need to talk about the difficulties in the future. Instead of luring someone in and then stalking them in the hope that they will stay and get through the difficulties later. It is better to screen from the beginning and identify people who can accept this knowledge.
On the other hand, it took a bit long for the two division commanders to enter the underground world and the iron city of the Silverbeard dwarves. So the two apprentices who stayed outside also managed this temporary camp in a decent manner.
At least once Halumi recovered from her foot injury, she couldn't sit still. They didn't dare to stray too far from the camp, so the two girls could only play in different ways, turning a simple camp into an idyllic war position...
It's a strange description, but Lin can't find a better way to describe it. There are green creepers on the horses and fences, and flower petals decorate the drainage ditches; the carriages are used as temporary residences, with a thorny flower wall surrounding them in addition to the front and rear entrances.
The crossbow also uses the golem arm technology that Lin used in the academy, combined with the vehicle's arcane eye, to set up a shooting mode that automatically drives away wild beasts. Then the whole mechanism is still hidden among the flowers. From time to time, there are ignorant bees flying in to collect honey. From the outside, there is nothing unusual about it.
Now that I'm ready to leave, it won't be easy to leave soon. Lin was not in a hurry to leave, so he calmly directed the two apprentices to pack up the camp. The four dwarves were still focused on the water mirror screen.
