Chapter 20 The Unsolved Foreshadowing
Three days later.
Hall Castle.
During this period, Zhu Ping has been waiting for the incident to ferment.
In addition, I followed Nina's family to the countryside before, and it has been more than half a month since he traveled through time, and people's adaptability is often beyond their imagination.
At this time, living in another world, he no longer had the awkward feeling of his first arrival.
During these three days, his own strength has reached the top of his realm, and he needs to complete the "ritual" of "shooting extraordinary creatures at close range" before he can continue to practice.
And there are notes for this ceremony... Fight against the extraordinary ferocious beasts that you cannot defeat, break through yourself in the crisis of life and death, and then be promoted.
Then the question is, if you have a life-threatening life, can you succeed in shooting a ferocious beast?
Answer: Not necessarily, it can even be said that success is almost impossible.
In the entire capital of Orlandon, just a "sharpshooter" is a "sharpshooter" who can be imagined.
A few lucky people escaped from danger, leaving a life without promotion, and most of the unlucky people have become dry food for extraordinary ferocious beasts.
Free buffet delivered to your door.
This is also one of the reasons why the nobles cannot practice the ways of warriors. If they don’t want wealth and honor, who wants to be a reckless man, of course...except Zhuping Hall.
"If you don't perform the ritual and eat the root system of the dragon scale giant tree directly, will you be able to advance directly?
Although it doesn't feel much feasible.
Let's try it first."
The root system of giant dragon scale trees is not uncommon. In many deep mountains and forests, there are giant trees with bark stacked like scales and leaves that are slender like maple leaves and dragon claws.
The root system looks good, and the pattern on it looks like the claws of a falcon, in a ring that is constantly nested.
However, because the dragon scale giant wood is dense and the wood is strong, it is the first choice for many carving masters, so it is not much cheaper.
Of course, there is no way to compare with a wizard who needs hundreds of gold coins to get started.
Follow the tutorial on the "Instructions", blanch the old hens in water and set aside, add base oil in the pot, stir-fry the green onion, ginger and garlic, remove the residue, add cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves... Add the roots of the old hen and dragon scale giant tree... and simmer for two hours on low heat.
Now we will give a technical summary...
Overall, the chicken soup tastes good, and the wood tastes a bit stiff.
There is still no sign of loosening in the realm of the extraordinary sequence.
"It seems that the promotion ceremony is a process that must be gone through! But shooting and killing extraordinary ferocious beasts is too difficult. Let's wait until the next time I call my hometown, find a solution!
It is impossible to attend a ceremony according to the rules, but it is impossible to play with your life! Isn’t it good to live well? Isn’t it good to enjoy the glory and wealth?”
Zhu Ping sighed and looked at the two brothers Nandana who were exercising outside the window.
He was very optimistic about these two people, and even paid out of his own pocket to buy nutritional supplements from the Warrior Path Series 9 for them to help them enter the Warrior Path.
Loyalty is a very valuable quality at any time... Although Zhu Ping felt a little distressed about spending money for them, he had to admit that it was worth spending!
Moreover, the two brothers have a very good foundation in practicing. Although the practice is a gradual process, their training results have begun to show their strength at this time.
It’s a pity that they are muscular men, so that would be great if they were cute girls.
"Oh... How can I get the same method in the world? I can only choose the same way for men on the left and right, and hug them on the left and right!"
...
During these three days, the two Viscounts George and Page were very lively.
In the castle, the subordinates kept coming in and out.
George first sent the killer Joel out to interrogate the castle owners what they saw and heard, and the results they got were true.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being real, because the Nada brothers, as the "starring actors", do not understand the entire plan, and their honest and honest "reviews" also add a sense of reality to the "stage play".
Later, news came from Peggy, and his male servant discovered that the three people described by the castle lord were from the Hall family.
This made Peggy and George two barons angry and angry.
Zhu Ping had just humiliated them at Viscount Xiao Nong's dance before, and he was so embarrassed that he could not help himself. He found that the person in the gem vein was Zhu Ping Hall.
George also realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what it was, and he began to feel uneasy in his heart.
So he sent someone to whip up the blue-faced lord, and questioned it in person, and reviewed the whole incident.
No problems were found in the ins and outs of the incident.
Viscount George's inner uneasiness became increasingly obvious. It was obvious that the gem veins were likely to be open on his own land, but he just felt something was wrong.
Then, the two barons sent a group of private detectives to find out where the gem vein was.
Today, killer Joel returns with news from private detectives.
George Castle.
Baron George, wearing a tight tuxedo all day, sat in the garden, listening to the palace music played by the violin master who originally only played solo music for the king.
Killer Joel has always been stern in his gloomy face, even when he kneels in front of George.
Baron George did not interrupt the performance in a rude manner, but brought the killer Joel to the corner and asked, "Have the specific location of the mine vein been found?"
"The specific location has not been found, but based on the untreated bonfire residues of the three people when they camped at night, it can be determined that the approximate location is in the northwest corner of the small countryside." Killer Joel affirmed.
Baron George frowned slightly, and for a moment he couldn't remember where it was, so he asked directly: "Does that place belong to me?"
"Sir, it originally belonged to you." Killer Joel said halfway, not knowing how to speak.
George pinched the flowers in the garden, his little movement revealed his extreme anxiety and asked, "What did it originally belong to me? Could it be the piece of land for Hall?"
Killer Joel did not refute.
"Fake!" George was furious and crushed the flowers and plants in front of him with his feet. The fat on his face kept shaking with the violent movement.
"How could it be that piece of land? Damn it! It's Hall again, that guy again!" The strong anger made Baron George take off his long-standing gentleman disguise.
The violent emotions were fully displayed in him.
After venting for a while, he felt that the cheerful tunes from the palace musicians became more and more harsh, and cursed: "Turn away all the musicians! Let them get out of my house!"
The killer Joel heard the sound, nodded, and took the other male servants to invite the musicians out in a less gentlemanly way.
Two hours later.
From Baron George alone to Baron George's stand-up swearing, to George Page's two men swearing at each other.
"This guy Hall is definitely a sinister and cunning villain."
"Bah! Pretend to be unsociable. When we ceded those two pieces of land, we pretended to be wronged."
"A despicable reckless man..."
“…”
The two of them were very angry because they realized they had been deceived.
Is Zhuping Hall a fool?
Now it seems, obviously not!
If Zhu Ping Hall is a fool, what are the two of them who are fooled by him? The idiot among idiots?
Greedy people don’t look like good people, so they think in their own way and think about the scene when Zhuping made a deal with them before.
These two nobles thought that they had made a big profit by using thousands of acres of wasteland and exchanged with Hall for shares and stores of the gem vein, and thought that Zhu Ping Hall could bully him casually.
However, from the "employee incident", Zhu Ping Hall's fangs were fully exposed, and he was not a gentle little sheep.
Now everything is clear. Since Zhu Ping is not stupid, he deliberately exchanged his assets with thousands of acres of wasteland in order to seize a complete gem vein.
And he succeeded.
The two counts beat their chests and stamped their feet. What did they do before? They used all means to sell favors and give gifts, and packaged the "mineral vein" that originally belonged to them to Zhu Ping.
The two barons were extremely angry. They felt that they were deceived by the disgusting villain again and again. Everything was the other party's conspiracy, which made them constantly get trapped, one after another.
Peggy smashed everything he could see and said hideously: "Kill! Kill him!"
This was the second time that Peggy was incompetent and furious, and George did not agree or refute this time, allowing Peggy to vent himself.
If a nobleman is killed, everyone will be in danger of the entire upper class circle, and even the king who has not been in charge of the matter for a long time will be angry. At that time, even Viscount Xiaonong may not be able to protect Peggy... George began to feel that this result seemed to be bad.
George patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "Let's go! Let's go find Viscount Xiao Nong and let him preside over justice for us. At worst, I'll ask Viscount Lin Zheng again."
...
Hall Castle.
Why haven't the phone number from my hometown been called yet... Zhu Ping is performing a must-have exercise every day, and next to him is the cute and intelligent freckled girl Lina who tells him the time point.
After all, there are more employees in the castle, and Nina's workload is also unmatched.
Lina sat on the chair, and the breeze blew her skirt from time to time, outlining her slender and straight legs, staring at the clock, and asked casually:
"My handsome prince charming, how did you make sure these people will definitely take the bait?"
"There is a theory called the anchoring effect, which lays an anchor in the human subconscious mind. In this way, future cognition will be affected by this anchor.
Specifically in this matter, the spear I sink is a gem!
The gems that appear on your neck, the gems that are given to whom you serve as birthday gifts, the gems inlaid on your leather bag, and of course... hehehehe.
These details will affect their judgment, and in a few days, I will have a big gift to give them."
Zhu Ping paused, and a villain-like standard smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying, "Of course, there is the most important layer of concealment, unsolvable concealment.
That is, the contradictions in behavior before and after the dance, as gentle as sheep and as fierce as a wolf. Such inconsistent behaviors are unsolvable, and they have no possibility to figure it out at all."
After all, who could have thought that I had traveled through time during this period? Zhu Ping thought in his heart: This is the foreshadowing of no solution.
"Okay! The training time is up!" Lina sat on the chair, shaking her legs casually, showing a sweet smile: "Oh! Then I'll talk about Prince Charming all day long, and you don't feel strange until today.
Does this behavior also fit the anchor effect you mentioned?"
Chapter completed!
