Act Twenty-Five: Lucius's Observations (Part II)
Generally speaking, historians would refer to the three major forces in the world today as a state of mutual checks and balances.
The mages and the Templars are at odds with each other, but the nobles are not so powerful.
The nobility needed the power of the mages to maintain their rule and suppress the authority of the Templars in the political realm, so although the Templars were quite powerful in many countries, they could not completely extinguish the power of the mages, all because of the nobles in the balance.
At the same time, the Templar had established a high prestige among the common people over the years, and in a time when revolutionary ideas had not yet germinated among the people, the Templar was in a sense a tool to control the common people, which was one of the reasons why the rulers needed the Templar to exist.
Now, if the mages were to gain the support of the nobility and penetrate into the lives of the common people, the status of the Templars would be greatly threatened.
Thinking of this, Lucius couldn't help but look at the lamb skewers and think deeply, of course, this was a different meaning in Suriyak's eyes.
"Well, Boss, you gave it to me, and if you want to go back, you'll have to buy it again. ”
“......”
Lucius looked at Serijek, who was guarding the food, and shook his head.
"It's okay, you eat, we'll go to the next place after eating. ”
Hearing Lucius's words, Serijek quickly finished the lamb skewer in his hand and followed his footsteps.
The four of them are now operating in two groups, conducting reconnaissance and intelligence gathering in Greenwich City.
At this time, this workshop city was bustling with activity, and the streets and alleys were like festivals, and there were bustling crowds everywhere, and the scene of various races gathering together has not been seen for I don't know how many years.
Lucius and Serijek walked along the road, and their destination was Smith's Avenue, the gathering place of Greenwich's most advanced inventions, and as the leader of the mission, Lucius naturally wanted to inspect it himself.
Instead of taking the tram that runs through Greenwich, they chose to walk, which, according to Lucius, is more perceptible to the changes around them.
But just as they had been walking for more than half an hour, they passed a shop selling daily necessities, when Lucius suddenly stopped.
"Wait. ”
He said, causing a tense of nerves in Serijek.
"What's wrong, boss, is someone following? or has you found something?"
Seryek nervously sensed his surroundings, but found nothing, if someone was really following, then the strength of the other party must be quite strong, and it was completely oppressive.
Just as Serijek looked at Lucius, expecting information, he found that Lucius had taken out the black mobile terminal from his pocket and opened the game's interface.
"No, it's just that the time for my previous expedition is almost up. ”
The resources and materials in the War of the Crowns can be obtained through a method called an expedition, which can be completed by arranging for the Heroic Spirits to spend time if they meet certain conditions, and the expeditions chosen by Lucius are the most profitable, but also have the shortest time intervals.
I saw him skillfully operate, and within a few minutes he had everything in order, turned off the mobile terminal, and put it in his pocket.
"Let's go. ”
"Uh, Boss, do you have some ......?"
Serijek asked, but before he could say what was in his mind, Lucius raised his hand to signal that he didn't have to say any more.
"It's part of the plan, if we want to understand our enemies, we must first put ourselves in the other side's shoes, understand, Sirjek?"
"Good, good ......"
Serijek followed Lucius, and they made their way through the streets, and it took them more than half an hour to reach Artisan Street.
At the entrance to the street is a bronze statue of an El craftsman, presumably a master craftsman who contributed greatly to Greenwich.
As soon as you walk into the avenue, the surrounding environment seems to have improved for many years, the shops that come and go are not selling armor or food, but all precision mechanical parts, all kinds of machines are placed outside the store, for people to visit at will, the owners of the shops are mostly El, but also mixed with some humans or Firut, Lucius stood at the entrance of the street, and looked at the most crowded shops nearby.
"There are the most people there, let's go and see. ”
With that, he walked to the door of the shop called the Rocky Machinery Store, and seeing that there were quite a few people gathered here, Lucius asked the people next to him a little.
"The store today launched a mechanical keyboard adapted to mobile terminals, and it is taking on a challenge. ”
The man next to him said, making Lucius even more strange.
The keyboard of the mobile terminal is a virtual key, which only needs to be touched to use, which is very convenient, if it is replaced with a mechanical one, it not only increases the difficulty of use in vain, but also is not portable, why do so many people come to watch?
With this in mind, Lucius gave Serijek a few words and squeezed into the front row.
When he got to the store, Lucius saw what this so-called mechanical keyboard was.
The mechanical keyboard is basically made of virtual keys with physical objects, and the mobile terminal can be connected to the top of the keyboard, which is nothing special at first glance, but Lucius soon found that the feedback of the mechanical keyboard is much better than that of the virtual keyboard, and it does have a certain improvement in operation, not a vase.
On the big screen in the store, there is a game screen projected on the crown war.
After listening for a while, Lucius realized that it was the shopkeeper who started the challenge, as long as he could defeat the defenders in the crown war game with the heroic spirit provided by the shopkeeper, then he could get a mechanical keyboard for free, and the popular game and the new concept of the product made the store extremely popular.
As for the defenders who need to be challenged, it is none other than the defender of the third layer of the Iron Arena that has plagued Lucius for a long time, Archbishop Impreel.
Since many players in the Crown War can't make it to the third tier, this gimmick is also fresh and challenging, and Lucius sees that this challenger is now fighting hard against Archbishop Impreyll, and finally loses weakly.
The Heroic Spirit he used was of a very high rank, and in Lucius's eyes, this person was completely technical.
As he was secretly laughing at the player, the shopkeeper caught the look on Lucius' face and walked straight over.
"Sir, you seem to be confident, do you want to take on the challenge?"
"Uh, I'm still ......"
Lucius didn't want to attract too much attention and wanted to refuse, but after looking at the brand-new mechanical keyboard and hesitating, he nodded.
Ten minutes later, Lucius walked out of the store in the amazement of the crowd with the packed mechanical keyboard, leaving Serijek waiting outside.
"Boss, this ......"
"Let's go. ”
Lucius said, feeling good.
