Chapter 79 Foundation
Although Matthew and his wife may not feel that they are old and helpless, they can also find a place to rely on. They thought: firstly, they repay others' kindness while they still have combat power; second, if they succeed, there will be a stable place to retire in the future; Su Minghai, as a magician, naturally needs some hands, and then pick up their descendants, and the family can be reunited.
But they didn't dare to say this thought at home. Unexpectedly, Su Minghai said such a thing first. He really thought that he felt sorry for the old couple's desire for family affection, and felt that the teenager was affectionate and righteous. Thinking that the two of them had not made any achievements and wanted to receive such a favor, they couldn't help but be frightened and thanked Su Minghai repeatedly. His wife's name is Elsa, who almost burst into tears and bowed:
"How can we afford to have such a pity for both of us?"
Matthew thought to himself, "If we two old men and old men don't have the strength to make contributions to adults now, and when we are old and lose our capital in the future, we won't earn any friendship."
As soon as the idea turned around, he immediately stared at his wife and scolded him:
"Elsa, what do you say? It's the kindness of adults to cherish us so much. How can we be so shameless when we are subordinates?
Turn your head and say to Su Minghai:
"My lord, although my two children have no talent for practicing martial arts, they are now 45 or 46, and they are still old and reliable. There is no need for martial arts to build a manor in Shuikou County. It's better to ask them to take their children to Shuikou first. Our couple have reached a high level now, and we can help you more or less. Why don't we stay here to respond?
Su Minghai saw the two people's boxing. As soon as he said he wanted to rely on them, he stood from his perspective and was also moved. But the most important thing for him to go here is to leave with one blow, and he must not be surrounded by others. Although the two of them can arrange for him in the surrounding towns, there may be times when they can use it. But if they really get to that point, the lives of these two people will not be saved. Moreover, even if he is injured, he will not control life and death in the hands of others, preferring to find a secret place to recover by himself. Therefore, he still refuses:
"What I want is your experience and worldly wisdom. Let you take your children there, and let them help you two elders, so that you don't overwork. I am good at speed. When I go to play with Liu Mingtong, the most important thing is to come and go like the wind. How can I give them a chance to surround me? Therefore, it doesn't make much use for you to stay here. It's better to help me go to Shuikou County to make some arrangements.
Matthew and Elsa naturally know that if Su Minghai is in danger in Cangshan, when he comes to the door, with the cooperation of the two of them, the opportunity to escape will increase a lot, but the chance for them to survive is almost slim. Seeing that Su Minghai refused to stay at home, he just didn't want to abandon the two masters easily, and he felt that he had to turn to the Lord. Thinking that Su Minghai's words were indeed reasonable, and his refusal was resolute. If he wanted to be pretentious, he would be a little disrespectful, so he took the opportunity to agree to Su Minghai to go to Shuikou County to operate.
Su Minghai saw that they agreed. After all, it was the first time someone defected, and he was also happy that he had two more masters. He picked them out the package, handed the extra pair of leather boots to Matthew, and took out 300 gold coins and said:
"I have an extra pair of Warcraft leather boots. Now that you have reached a high level, you have also used them. Let's use them. In case something happens, you can be more confident when fighting. Take this money to help me buy some real estate. Don't be too luxurious. It's good as usual, but the place still needs to be large, and you can buy some industries..."
Su Minghai originally wanted to send the mage robe to save space. But on second thought, people know that this thing is an object on the mage's body at a glance. The risk of spreading out is really too great, and it may hurt the two couples at that time. Therefore, in the end, the mage's robe was left in the line space.
This pair of Warcraft leather boots is worth less than 200 gold. If Mr. and Mrs. Matthew go bankrupt, they can afford such a thing. But the key is that 200 gold is easy to find, and these leather boots are rare. Many high-level soldiers have been stingy all their lives. They are afraid that they have saved five or six hundred gold coins, but they may not have a chance to buy such a pair of boots. Matthew never thought that Su Minghai would give him such a treasure first. He was really reluctant to refuse. When he received it, even the beard on his chin trembled with excitement.
But when he saw that Su Minghai had handed over another 300 gold coins, he couldn't help frowning:
In this world, you can buy a two-story house with four gold coins, and a courtyard with 20 gold coins. Even a manor-style mansion only costs one or two hundred gold. As for the land, it is even cheaper, because the land is vast and sparsely populated. As long as you have civilian status, you can open a land casually, as long as you pay a few registered copper money. If many families want to sell their fields, they often can't even get back the labor of the field - you can't take it away. If you move, you can only throw it away as garbage, so others still dislike the inconvenience of going back and forth. Therefore, even when Su Minghai first arrived at the Cangshan boundary, he could not make such a fortune.
Fortunately, he robbed everywhere these days, cleared three villages, and had more than 500 gold coins in his hand. In addition to the original, it was almost 700, so this 300 gold was really not a matter for him.
Matthew and his wife are famous Grand Thieves. They have robbed for 20 years and earned a total of five or six hundred gold. In addition to the ones sprinkled on the poor, they have more than 200 gold left, and they have used the savings, but there are still nearly 200 gold left over the years.
The two husband and wife are not people who attach great importance to money. They thought to themselves, "The industry requested by Lord Su is enough to deal with their own family background. How can they use so much money?" Although he also took a deep breath of Su Minghai's handwriting, he still refused:
"Your excellency, you are here and have a lot of places to use. You'd better keep this money as a foundation. Our husband and wife also left some property, and our children's family business is also profitable. Together, it is enough to set up a large family business in Shuikou County..."
Su Minghai laughed and said, "If you are willing to be my subordinates, how can I use your money instead? You keep these things, which should be transformed and used. Don't save me. Liu Mingtong is a big family business. Are you still worried that it's not enough for me to spend? Hahaha..."
Ma Xiu also felt that Su Minghai did not trust him and said, "But how can you use so much to build a foundation..." Su Minghai said with a smile:
"Since I want to build a force, I can't be small at the beginning. How to use it can't be eye-catching, so it depends on the experience of the two elders..."
Ma Xiu saw Su Minghai's words, and then as a deduction, it seemed that the couple had nothing to do, so they had to put it away carefully. Seeing that Su Minghai was empty-handed, he suddenly remembered something and said to Elsa, "Old lady, go and bring us what we can't use to see if the adults can use it?"
Elsa answered and left. Su Minghai couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw that the two people were mysterious and continued to talk to Matthew. After a while, Elsa took a cloth and wrapped it with some dirt. It should be hidden in some brick and stone pile.
Matthew took it and saw that it was a little dirty, so he took it in his hand and opened the Bupa layer by layer. When Su Minghai saw the things inside, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He reached out and took it out to watch carefully:
clench of the stone: ring, demand level: 3; +19 maximum endurance value; +50% damage to undead; +27 accuracy against undead, lighting range +2.
turned out to be a bright gold equipment with level requirements. No wonder Matthew and his wife can't use it at all. Matthew saw that Su Minghai was interested in this ring and explained:
"This thing was obtained from a dying magician outside the dirty land of Luowu Town, Taoxi County. He asked us to take this ring and go to the imperial capital to find a man named Larry. Spencer's great mage sent a letter. We were afraid of something wrong, so we opened the letter in private, but we couldn't seal it back. From then on, we didn't dare to mention it again, so we had to hide the ring secretly..."
Su Minghai looked at the attributes of the ring and speculated that it should be something made by the Spencer mage to kill the monsters in Wuzhen, otherwise it would not be so targeted. Other attributes of this thing are nothing to him now, but he has always suspected that the + light range in the game should increase the range of divine consciousness. Now that I have such a one, I naturally have to try it: so I immediately feel that it is of great benefit to the divine consciousness for a moment of warmth of this ring.
The ring body is active and small, not like other large things. It needs to be warm for a month or two before it can be used. Now after a little exploration, he knows that this +2 light has increased the range of consciousness by 20%. Now his spirit has reached 40, and the range of his consciousness has correspondingly increased from more than 20 meters to 278 meters. But if this ring can all work, it can reach more than 33 meters. This distance, even if there are dozens of strong crossbow raids, at the speed of Su Minghai's reaction, he is not afraid of having time to dodge. The help for his trip is not a star.
Moreover, many masters often fall in dirty places. With this ring in hand, it will be much more convenient to explore in the future.
Su Minghai was overjoyed and did not refuse. He explained to Matthew and his wife:
"This thing should be something specially refined by the Spencer Master to enter the dirty land, and only the magician whose divine consciousness has reached a certain point can use it, so you can't figure out the use of this thing. When I go here now, this thing is really helpful to me, so I won't be pretentious and accept it.
Matthew and his wife have a lot of love for Su Minghai, and now some elders look at the younger generation. They are even more happy to see that what they put out is really useful to Su Minghai. Su Minghai saw that Mr. and Mrs. Matthew agreed repeatedly, and then put the ring into the equipment column. This thing is small in size, and there is not much magic in it. It is very convenient for him to warm up. It is estimated that it can barely be used in about ten days at most, and it can play its maximum effect in about 20 days.
Since several people have discussed and decided without delay, Matthew and his wife have lived here for a short time and are always ready to run away. It's extremely fast to pack up, but a man prepares everything.
Before leaving, Matthew sneezing his lips twice, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. He said to Su Minghai:
"Your Excellency, I'm old and talk a little wordy. Now I have a word in my throat, but I want to say it to you."
Su Minghai was very fond of these two old men and said:
"Uncle Matthew, you are experienced. You are young and knowledgeable, and many places need your guidance. In the future, we will be a family again. If you have something to say, you don't have to be so divided.
"I just heard about the experience of destroying the wasp village, Liyun village and Shanxia village, and found that the people cherished the peace of their hearts and did not attack the miscellaneous soldiers. What you are dealing with here is a great enemy. If you are so indecisive, I'm afraid it will be much more trouble.
Looking up at Su Minghai's face, he continued:
"Adults are merciful, but most of these people have the pain of bereavement and will not care about their kindness. In this way, hundreds of people are scattered in the Cangshan area in each village. Even if they are bold bandits, this thing of running errands will always be done. Isn't it a lot of trouble for adults?
Su Minghai thought a little and said no words. Matthew gritted his teeth and said harshly:
"Now is the time for adults to use thunderous means. What he wants is to make Liu Mingtong's pawns have some scruples, but he still has a hesitation in his heart. The adult just said that our husband and wife have fallen into the magic barrier. Isn't it true that adults have also fallen into the magic barrier of doing good and evil?
