Zhao Mai threw down his things, ran to the shack in a zigzag shape, and picked up the shield and dagger on the ground. Although the shed behind him was full of holes, it could provide him with some protection. Even if it was just a spiritual protection, it was still very helpful for a traveler in another world.

Compared to his caution and vigilance, the reserved grain is more excited. If a dog feels danger, it will act as a warning posture. It usually crouches on the front half, stands up on the back, and grows grinning. However, the reserved grain is jumping constantly, and the mouth is also "woof" rather than "thick". It should not be the enemy, right?

Zhao Mai chose to believe in the feelings of his companions, because he was not as good as a dog, whether it was vision, hearing or smell. After thinking for a while, Zhao Mai decided to stand up. Although the shield was still blocking his chest, the dagger was already hanging down. This was a relaxed posture, not a fighting posture anymore.

A black shadow walked out of the woods and came to the campfire to stop. Although the dog meat was blind, it still showed a calm dog king style. It lowered its head and sniffed the dwarf, then raised its hind legs. Zhao Mai was about to stop it, but seeing the urine flowing along the slope of the ground and not wet the dwarf's backpack, it didn't matter.

Judging from the timing of its appearance, dog meat must have been following the dwarf, and this must have been instructed by Ranger Carl. The pee just now fully demonstrated the dog meat's position. If it was still in battle at this time, it would pounce from the back and bit the dwarf's throat.

Zhao Mai put his shield at his feet and walked over to reach out to touch the dog meat's head, but was slapped open by a paw. From the slightly turbid one-eyed one, a proud look appeared. In fact, Zhao Mai didn't know how to describe this expression, probably "Oh, I know what you want to do, but you think beautiful." He was wondering how his mind could turn so many thoughts in an instant, probably because of language barriers and unable to communicate normally, and he was about to drive himself crazy?

The reserved grain was very proud, jumped on the back of the dog meat and lay steadily on it. However, its head was facing backwards to its butt, and its mouth was swaying left and right, and it was playing a game of chasing and catching with its tail. Well, it is normal for dogs to be closer to dogs. You can't think that humans are inferior to dogs for this, right?

Even more magical things are still behind. Dog meat raised its front legs and lowered its head, pulled it hard from its armpit with its mouth, and actually took out a small cylinder. It bit it with its teeth and skillfully pulled out a roll of parchment. Just as Zhao Mai widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, Dog meat spread the parchment paper, with a map drawn with charcoal strokes on it.

Zhao Mai knew the approximate terrain around for the first time, the shape of Kangjian Forest and the Ashes Lake, and the location of the villages and towns. Dog Meat repeatedly pointed it on the map with its paws, which was exactly the location of Neibo Town. It also drew arcs on the map, probably trying to tell you how to get to the town. Zhao Mai looked at Dog Meat in confusion, but then saw emotions in Dog Meat's eyes, which was clearly proud and a little stinky fart.

This is strange. I have only heard of the magic pets of mages and sorcerers who can continuously improve their intelligence. I have never heard of the animal companion of the ranger who also has such abilities? They can only improve the strength or agility of the animal companion through training. If you want to become smart, you can only rely on the "Enlightenment" spell. However, this spell can only be used by high-level druids, and the ranger cannot even get involved in the edge.

Fortunately, the dog meat no longer made expressions like "You are so strange." Otherwise, Zhao Mai would even have an illusion that the old dog also had telepathic ability. Maybe this beautiful environment will improve the intelligence of animals, maybe.

"I understand, I remember the map, thank Ranger Carl for me." Zhao Mai put away the map.

The dog meat nodded seriously (or pretended to behave?) and accepted the blessing. Then it took a step, stood next to the dentist's body, and used its claws to pull the necklace on the ground and put it under its body.

"Hey, don't snatch things, okay? That's my spoil!"

Dog Meat shook its head, sniffed the bright gemstone guard with its nose, and then pressed it with its two front legs. The reserved grain jumped off its back, sticking out its tongue foolishly, rolling on the dog Meat's front legs, and acting cute. At the same time, it secretly kicked the necklace with its hind legs, trying to pull the thing out.

What a good boy, he began to consider the interests of his master. Zhao Mai walked over slowly, stretching his arm towards the necklace on the ground.

Dog Meat discovered the intention of the pair, so it opened the reserve grain with its nose, and then kept scratching the puppy's belly with its paws. The reserve grain kept laughing on the ground, one of its hind legs raised and scratched in the air, as if begging for mercy. Dog Meat licked it lovingly, then picked up the necklace, and stared at Zhao Mai with wide eyes.

"If I had trouble just now, would you come to help me?" Zhao Mai asked.

Dog Meat whined as an answer. In fact, Zhao Mai was not sure whether a dog could understand his words, especially when he was using Chinese. However, Ranger gave him a puppy, and the love affair was not yet rewarded.

"Okay, take that necklace away, it's a reward for you to lurk and prepare to help." Zhao Mai waved his hand and said to the dog meat: "Do you want to play with the reserved grain for a while, or go back now? It's already dark, so I suggest you wait until the sun rises before leaving."

This time Zhao Mai was sure that dog meat understood.

Two dogs, one big and one small, went to play, and the safety of the camp was even more secure. Zhao Mai thought about it and put on his clothes first to save a young man from keeping warm only by relying on his underwear. Then he turned around and cleaned up the dwarf's objects.

There are not many things in the small backpack, and most of them are only suitable for small creatures. Zhao Mai is a little awkward to hold them. For example, small pieces of dry food are not much larger than compressed biscuits, which is only enough for him to eat for half a day, but it can prevent the dwarf from being hungry for three days.

Small water bags, small mirrors, and small soaps are not very useful. A small bottle of ink is a good thing. Although the paper is small, it can be used. The quill is almost clamped with fingertips, which is difficult to control.

If you count carefully, a bag of coins is the biggest gain. Zhao Mai also saw for the first time what the currency in this world looks like. The so-called gold coins are actually similar to the thumb nails of a person, and they look very thin and pitiful. The gold is not of good quality and weight is not right. There should be other things mixed in it, maybe copper.

The front of the gold coin reads "Valicia", and Zhao Mai knows that this is the name of the region. Valicia is not a country, at best, just an alliance of some city-states, and its business considerations are much greater than those of politics and military. The back is written with the number one in various languages, and a warning left in common language: Abadar is watching you.

Which god is Abadar? Zhao Mai only feels that he has seen this name himself, and he can't remember what it is. After all, he is not Wikipedia (Are you sure you won't implant it on Baidu?), and you can understand it by looking up.

The silver coins were slightly larger, about the same as a one-yuan coin. The copper plate was a bigger circle, but the weight was lighter. After counting, there were about seventy gold and thirty silver and fifteen copper plates in the wallet, which was the first pot of gold he had earned in another world.
