"ah???"
This time, it was Zhou Li, Azi and Eluma's turn to be confused.
"Miss Maeve, have you seen one of us somewhere else?"
Zhou Li's question made Maeve think of the girl running on the road, the girl who ran her white horse with only two legs and got rid of her psychological problems. She trembled all over, then waved her hand and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, just, I suddenly felt that this lady looked a little familiar. I must have seen it wrong."
"It doesn't matter. Maybe Ms. Maeve had a relationship with Eluma."
Zhou Li didn't take it too seriously. He estimated that Maeve must have seen Eluma speeding on the road. This was not a big deal and he didn't need to pay too much attention to it.
Eluma...?
Maeve wrote down this name in her heart, not for any reason, but simply because she was curious about why this woman ran so fast. Then she asked for a glass of spring water. After watching the somewhat unfamiliar goblin place the cup in front of her, she picked up the wooden cup and drank heavily.
Wow, it tastes pretty good.
While Maeve on the other side was lamenting the sweetness of the spring water in this place, Azi on the other side had already begun to study what Zhou Li showed her.
A lump of blue...glue?
Ah Zi frowned and followed Zhou Li's instructions to poke the blue semi-solidified object with a wooden stick. She poked the slender stick in and couldn't get it out.
“The adhesive strength is about three times that of ordinary adhesives.”
Zhou Li took the adhesive he bought at the market and sprayed it on the plate. He inserted a wooden stick of the same length into it and then pulled it out hard. Although the stick did not leave the adhesive directly, It's still obviously loose.
"Oh?" Ah Zi compared the two adhesives with great interest, and then asked Zhou Li: "How much does this blue adhesive cost? How many tons can the daily output be maintained? Can it bond weapons? What?"
"The cost is extremely low, the output is extremely high, it can."
Zhou Li responded quickly to three answers. Then he stood up and motioned for Ah Zi to come with him, "Miss Ah Zi, you can come with me to our Leim Adhesive Glue production department." , you’ll understand when you see it.”
After getting Azi's consent, Zhou Li turned around and said to Maeve, who was studying the wooden cup: "Miss Maeve, I have some business matters here, so I'll excuse you. If you have any needs, feel free to contact me. A goblin will tell you, of course, the farmhouse is open to you anytime, anywhere, and you can visit it at will except for some marked areas."
Maeve nodded, and then watched the three people leave the tavern. Then she stood up and placed three copper coins on the bar, then thought about it and took one back.
No matter how low the discount is, it’s still worth a copper coin!
Thinking about her lifetime discount, Maeve left the tavern without alcohol. Next, she will have a good time here.
************
"Wow!"
In a vast grassland, countless slimes of various sizes were jumping between small piles of rocks. Sometimes they stick together and seem to be saying something. From time to time, he would jump into the stone pile and completely collapse on it. Vaguely, Azi seemed to see these slimes stuffing something into her body from time to time, and then they shook violently and became even more paralyzed.
"so cute."
Round, without impurities, and blue like lake water, these elements combined directly won Azi's favor, "Is this a slime? Why is it so clean?"
"Hey."
Hearing this, Zhou Li laughed inexplicably, and then he looked around for something. After a while, he pointed at a slime not far away and said to Ah Zi: "Look at the slime that is only a little green. Slime.”
Ah Zi followed Zhou Li's hand and looked at the light green slime. It was a large jelly that was significantly larger than other slimes and had brown impurities in its body. Just when Azi was wondering why Zhou Li asked her to see the slime, a scene that shocked her happened.
"This, this, this, this, this!!!!"
Azi quickly turned around, pointed at the slime, and said with shock: "She pulled out that gel????"
Zhou Li was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked at the sky and said, "This gel has super strong adhesive force."
"Did he pull it out???"
"And great staying power."
"is not it?"
"It's still colorless and odorless."
"is not it???"
"Hey, young people, don't always be obsessed with such trivial matters. As long as you can make money, why should you care?" Zhou Li looked at Ah Zi and said kindly: "Look at where there is such a thing besides me now. High-quality and cheap adhesive glue?”
"But, this, I, hey..."
Ah Zi was speechless for a moment. As the controller of a medium-sized chamber of commerce, Ah Zi could not be said to be well-informed, but could also be called a well-informed person. But she had never seen the scene where the slime popped out hard and a lump of gel came out.
"The cost is one hundred copper coins per ton. As for the price, you can do the math yourself."
Zhou Li's words instantly woke up A'Zi. She squinted her eyes slightly and her brain began to calculate quickly.
"With such a low cost price, Mr. Zhou, are you ready to reach the highest level of alliance with our Chamber of Commerce?"
Quoting the cost price to other merchants is the stupidest behavior, but there is one exception, that is, you want to form a high-level alliance with the other party to achieve a win-win situation.
Azi quickly realized Zhou Li's idea. She looked at Zhou Li and said firmly: "I will provide packaging, channels, manpower, and be responsible for the transportation part. I need 3% of my own costs. Fifteen profit.”
"make a deal."
Zhou Li immediately agreed and said to Ah Zi: "It can produce thirty tons a day, which is the cost of three hundred copper coins. So, how much do you plan to sell it for per kilogram?"
At this point, a sly smile suddenly appeared on the two people's faces. Ah Zi cleared her throat and said seriously: "Approximately how many bottles of the same amount of ordinary adhesive can be made from one ton of raw materials?"
"They can use ten tons to make a hundred bottles, and I can also make a hundred bottles."
"Their price for a bottle of adhesive is five silver coins, so our adhesive, which is three times more effective, only costs four silver coins."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then Azi looked at the slimes not far away, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that slimes and goblins, two creatures that have always been disliked by adventurers, are here. My little girl is really impressed that Mr. Zhou Li’s men can have such a huge effect.”
"I just did a little bit of work." Zhou Li shook his head and said modestly: "Slimes and goblins have value in themselves. All I did was discover them and dig into them."
"This is also an amazing ability."
After the two exchanged business remarks, a goblin suddenly ran over in a panic. Zhou Li took a look and saw that it was the green-skinned goblin who was sent to be the gatekeeper. Just when he was about to ask the goblin, something hanging around the goblin's neck suddenly caught his eye. eyes.
The emblem of the God of Justice!
Looking at the coat of arms made of platinum and engraved with scale patterns, Zhou Li's pupils suddenly tightened. Since he has never had any contact with the gods, it seems that these things trapped and dead in the heaven have finally reacted.
"Gala, step away and take the card. (Tall guy, give me this!)"
Zhou Li understood through the words of the green-skinned goblin that this was hung on him by an extremely tall man. During the conversation, Zhou Li learned that this goblin felt a tremor as soon as he saw the strong man. If he hadn't been born with cerebral palsy, he would have been scared to death at the gate. Zhou Li patted his shoulder and told him to go home and rest for a while. Then he looked at Ah Zi and said seriously:
"Miss Azi, could you please step aside for a moment? I need to negotiate with the temple."
"Okay." Azi didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and then returned to his carriage convoy. At this moment, a voice came from her ear.
"It's someone from the Tribunal." Linghai said softly to Ah Zi in the void: "There is no great malice, so you can rest assured."
Ah Zi's footsteps suddenly paused, and then she looked at Zhou Li hesitantly and whispered to him: "Mr. Zhou, try to be careful."
Zhou Li nodded, thanked him, and then pulled Eluma beside him towards the gate.
As the door gradually approached, Zhou Li saw the bald man shining in the sun. The bald head was so bright and dazzling that Zhou Li once thought he saw a small sun.
He stretched out his hand to stop Eluma from moving forward, then took a deep breath and straightened his clothes. Then he slowly walked forward. Less than ten meters away from the man, Zhou Li bowed slightly and suddenly sprinted and jumped.
Hold your chest with one hand and hold your right hand upright to praise the God of Justice! Drop your right hand and hold your forehead with your left hand, praising the God of the earth and sky! Place the index finger and thumb of your right hand together over your left eye to praise the goddess of night! Put your hands together, Shinra Tian... No, praise the harvest goddess!
In mid-air, Zhou Li's eyes widened with anger, and he immediately praised the gods who were close to the God of Justice. Then he landed in front of the man, knelt down on one knee, held his chest with his left hand, and spoke with a three-pointed tone. Pathetic, one part desolate, and one part eager and deep, he said:
"I, the lucky man favored by the gods, a loyal follower of Yilu, the god of justice, and an ordinary brave man who aspires to save the continent, Zhou Li, pay my respects to Mr. Agent of the gods."
The bald man was obviously shocked by Zhou Li's extremely skillful prayer technique. He had rarely seen a believer who could quickly pray to four gods one by one in mid-air, and then shamelessly claim to be the God of Justice. believers. But he didn't think much about it. He just instinctively returned the salute and said to Zhou Li with a blank look on his face:
"Hello, kindhearted one, I'm glad to meet a believer of our Lord in a remote place. I would like to ask how to get to Dusk Forest."
"well?"
Zhou Li was stunned. He felt more than just knee pain for a moment.
The balls hurt too.
