Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

early morning.

"Squeak, squeak..."

Stepping on the stairs, Li Cha and Pandora walked down the stairs, Li Cha walked in front, Pandora walked behind, muttering words like "five five twenty five" in their mouths. After working hard for most of the night, the five-character form passed the inspection, but in order to prevent forgetting, she could only keep memorizing it.

While muttering, he walked down the stairs, and Li Cha glanced towards the lobby of the tavern, and saw the fortune-telling woman he met last night, sitting in front of a table, constantly turning her head to look around, as if she was looking for something .

Li Cha stepped closer and said, "Did you lose something?"

Hearing Li Cha's voice, the fortune-telling woman suddenly turned her head, looked straight into Li Cha's eyes, stared at him for a while and gritted her teeth: "I lost my beloved pet."

"Pet?" Li Cha raised his eyebrows and gestured, "Is it a mouse-like pet? It's about this long, and its appearance is black and gray. It has a long and thin tail with a white section at the end, and its claws are very sharp." , like black iron?"

"right!"

"Oh, that's it." Li Cha nodded and replied, "I'm really sorry, I didn't see it, you keep looking."

"You!" The divination woman couldn't help standing up, her eyes widened, as if she wanted to swallow Li Cha alive. Maybe it was because she realized that she had lost her composure. After a while, the fortune-telling woman took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and said with a gloomy face, "Boy, you'd better watch your words and deeds, and respect me, the messenger of God."

"You are the messenger of God?" Li Cha blinked, "You didn't say this yesterday."

"Hmph, I can help people see through the fog of fate and help people find the direction of salvation. What else can I be if I am not a messenger of God?" To advise you in good faith, it is best not to leave the port in the next few days, at least until two days later. Well, two days later."

"Two days later?" Li Cha narrowed his eyes slightly, "Yesterday is three days later, today is two days later, you seem to have a clear rule for the day when I leave. Could it be that after two days, something special will happen ?”

"Of course! Two days later, if you leave, it will be smooth sailing! But if you leave now, you will have bad luck with you! This is a special thing!"

"Is that so, then I'll think about it..." Li Cha said so, turned and walked to the side, because he saw the fat boss of the tavern running over with a flattering face.

"Guests, you're getting up!" Li Cha just went up to meet him when he heard the fat boss say this.

Glancing at the other party's expression, Li Cha had some guesses in his heart, and asked aloud: "What, there is good news?"

"Good news, great news!" The fat boss's face was like a slowly blooming chrysanthemum smiling wildly, "What a coincidence, today I just sent people to the port as you said, I saw a large ship docking for supplies. After inquiring, it happened to be heading north.

Let me tell you, that big ship definitely meets your requirements. The name is 'Naru Glory Fisherman'. It is extremely luxurious, has sufficient crew, and the captain is experienced. The most important thing is that although this boat is called 'Fisherman', that was the name it was used as a fishing boat before, and now it has been transformed into a real merchant ship. Therefore, in addition to carrying goods for sale, they also take the initiative to accept passengers.

Although the price is expensive, you don't have to worry about it, I've already arranged it for you. For you, and this little girl beside you, I have arranged a particularly nice cabin together, without you spending a penny extra. "

At the end, the fat man in the tavern looked at Li Cha eagerly: "How about the guest, are you satisfied?"

"Very good." Li Cha nodded.

"That's good, that's good.

The "chrysanthemum" on the face of the fat man in the tavern was completely blooming, and then he rubbed his hands a little cautiously, "If this is the case, then look, the gold coin you said before, the safekeeping..."

"Don't be in a hurry." Li Cha interrupted the fatty owner of the tavern, and asked, "How long will the 'Naru Rongguang Fisherman' ship stop for supplies?"

"It will only stop for half a day. They are in a hurry. I heard that the Black Holy Mountain Kingdom facing the sea in the north and another kingdom have not dealt with each other recently, and war will break out at any time. Maybe they will block the sea with warships. Therefore, they are preparing to use the last Cross the large expanse of sea in the north at a fast speed and reach the destination. Otherwise, if it is late and blocked by a warship, it will be delayed for several months." The fat man in the tavern obviously asked in detail.

The next moment, he said again: "That's why I bought the boat ticket for you on my own initiative. As long as you give me what you kept, I will give you the boat ticket without any delay."

"It's true that there is no delay." Richard said, dispelling the last doubt. Turning over his hand, a gold coin appeared in the palm of his hand, and handed it to the fatty owner of the tavern.

When the fat man in the tavern saw the gold coin, his eyes lit up, and he wiped his fat, oily hands vigorously on his body. Carefully took the gold coin, brought it to his mouth, bit it with his teeth, and tried to judge the authenticity.

Li Cha looked at it and shook his head in his heart.

Although it is popular to use teeth to judge the authenticity of gold, it is not very reliable.

This method is based on nothing but hardness. Because the Mohs hardness of human teeth is almost 7, while the Mohs hardness of gold is more than 2 points, which is lower than other yellow metals. Therefore, the metal that can easily leave a clear tooth mark with human teeth can be judged as gold.

But having said that, yellow metals like brass have a Mohs hardness of only 3, which is not much different from gold. People without much experience can completely fool them. The more advanced ones are gold-plated with lead or tin, which is even more difficult to distinguish between true and false. Because the density and hardness of these two metals are very close to gold, if you bite them, they will look more like gold than gold.

However, considering that high-tech methods such as densitometers, spectral analysis, and electronic probes were not available in the Middle Ages, biting your teeth is the only simple and feasible way. Even if you can't guard against good counterfeit money, you can at least identify some poor counterfeit money.

Thinking this way in Li Cha's mind, the fatty owner of the tavern completed the identification and confirmed that it was a real gold coin. The "chrysanthemum" on the face is in full bloom. Quickly put away the gold coins, then took out a boat ticket from his pocket and handed it to Li Cha.

"Guest, please keep it. This is your boat ticket. The boat is at the port now, and it will leave in a short time. Look, are you going by yourself, or should I... send someone to take you there?"

"Don't worry, I'll go by myself."

"Okay, I'll see you later!" After the fat man in the tavern confirmed that he had received the benefit, he stopped talking and walked to the side while blooming "chrysanthemums". The venomous gaze cast.

Li Cha glanced at the divination woman amusedly, shook his head lightly, pulled Pandora out of the door, and walked towards the door.

Pandora kept repeating the nine-nine table in her mouth: "Five five, five five, um... woo woo... Er, twenty-five!"

Seeing Li Cha leave, the divination woman stood up, thought for a moment, first gouged out the fat owner of the tavern with her eyes, and then walked out the door.

Standing back behind the counter, the fat man in the tavern had a puzzled expression on his face. He watched the fortune-telling woman leave, scratched his head and said to himself: "What is this woman looking at me for? Is it interesting to me? In this case, you can consider it..."
