Octavia's daughter, four years old, was lively and cute, running around the territory and burning the butts of two regular guards, a blush similar to that of a sunset.

Rainbow Shadows will all be in the territory tonight and will take part in the promotion assessment tomorrow. No one could stop them from taking the girl with them, as if they had taken the meat that fell from their bodies as the fifth member. Anyway, there is a resurrection stone tablet - that's why they are willing to take the risk.

That kid has level 4 strength......

......

Talent.

"Call the Scarlet Punisher here? Why? What are you going to do? Isn't it good to live?"

Hathaway didn't deny that she had a way to contact the Scarlet Punisher, but she was amazed. She couldn't understand anyone calling a dangerous organization for any reason, even to negotiate.

This is a strange reaction.

If memory serves, Hathaway was still brave. Just betrayed his life and faced the old marquis's individual inquiry, his face did not change to deal with nature, standing beside the Vaal Pope, he actually had the courage to ask for the release of Shanting, and he didn't want to think about his identity, since he knew her, she didn't seem to have been cowardly in front of the strong, and she belonged to the type that would be afraid but would also muster up courage. Vaal level 20, Swane level 20, Ylander level 20, why is Hathaway only afraid of level 20 of the Scarlet Punisher?

Tong En routinely scolded Hathaway: "I'm afraid of this, could it be that you have a leg with that masked man?"

joke

Pure joke. The two of them often tease each other, and they don't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, Hathaway was choked for five seconds this time before she retorted: "It's you and not me." ”

“...... You've been weird lately, maybe I've been squeezed so hard that you can't find your place in the guild? ”

"I was here when the guild was founded, and you were still being torn apart by the Fear of Devouring. Hathaway didn't bother to continue to pursue Tong En, and turned to face you, "President, I admit that I really didn't care about you at first, and I wasn't optimistic about you, in fact, it is not impossible to describe it as not having much hope, so I will carry out all your orders, and the responsibility is yours anyway, I don't care." ”

"I was acting president for a short time, but that's not the case. ”

"But now, you are the heart, lifeblood, and soul of the Adventurer's Guild, and you can't afford to have an accident, the guild can't afford such a big setback. Now with the help of the second and third generations, you can be a little more stable and hold on to the results you are getting now. As long as there is a title and a territory, our exaggerated combat power and small territory will not become the target of Saudi aggression. Either way, I'm sure you'll be able to keep the guild and all the precious things you have always done, no matter what the adversity. ”

"So, why do you have to provoke the Scarlet Punisher?"

Provoke?

If you think about it carefully, this is the first time you have come into contact with this mysterious organization, and then you were poisoned and walked around the ghost gate. Who is provoking whom? Just want to negotiate with them, has something to do with "provoking"?

She mentions "holding on" three times. I always feel weird, but I can't tell what is weird for a while.

According to Hathaway's explanation, when she was in Five Lane Bay, she was privately approached by the "Scarlet Heavenly Punisher" and was terrified. She was severely threatened to go back to the Sand Country, and then there were further instructions, otherwise she would take the guild to open the knife - the banquet poisoned wine ** was just the beginning.

"Speaking of instructions," Hathaway handed you the two crystal balls, ...... "When I was alone in the Bay of Fairy Song, the two major religious factions of the Sand Country, the Sand Sect and the Rain Sect, had secret contact with me. These two crystals are their messages, and when broken, they can only be displayed once. ”

The Sha Sect priests presided over the war, and the Rain priests opposed the war. In fact, many nobles in Saudi Arabia were still vacillating about whether or not to go to war.

You have two crystals in your hands.

It's obviously a private message to Hathaway, do you think it's really ......? No, the secret messenger left a message in front of Hathaway, probably planning to let you see it, or let her be with you.

This crystal ball is more brittle than usual, presumably to make it easier to break.

"The way to get the Scarlet Punisher to show up is as simple as drawing their coat of arms, hanging them, and waiting in a secluded place. As she spoke, Hathaway drew a mysterious pattern on the tablecloth, "The masked man will appear in the middle of the night." ”

Location, it is best to choose a place that is safe from people's eyes and ears, easy to enter, that is, convenient for people to come quietly and walk safely.

Accompany you, not too strong and not too weak, Hathaway and Melanie are just right. If there are too many entourage, the other party may not want to show up, and if there are too few entourage, they may kill you in a single face.

Therefore, the location of the negotiation was finally chosen in the labyrinth town, which is the most obvious and the most hidden, the easiest to enter and exit freely, and at the same time the least likely to have uninvited guests passing by, the least to be surrounded and blocked, and at the same time the most able to obtain our support. One and only.

The top of the house mage's tower.

Fortunately, it is summer, and the evening breeze is not cold, but it is a good place to enjoy the shade.

The three-meter-diameter circular foothold at the top of the tower, with a lightning rod in the center, has nothing but dust and mottled bird droppings, and the completely vertical cylindrical wall is four meters high, making it difficult to climb up from the tallest window of the tower if you can't fly. Considering that the masked man can use teleportation scrolls, then flying scrolls should be fine.

After sunset, you sit with Hathaway and Melanie on a small platform at the top of the tower drinking tea and waiting. If nothing else, the Scarlet Punisher will only come late at night. The two high-ranking paladins in charge of staring at Melanie sat by the highest window of the Otaku Mage's Tower, holding their cheeks, wasting their time, and they followed the vampires wherever they went.

Melanie lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, exposed my identity, and caused you trouble." "It could have been worse if she hadn't sucked the drugs out in time.

"Rest assured. The view here is so great that anyone who comes close can't escape my eyes. "The only guard by your side, you have a lot of responsibility. Theoretically, if the negotiation breaks down, Melanie will be level 20, and the "Scarlet Heavenly Punisher" will also be level 20, so even if you can't beat it, you will be able to protect yourself. Her strength is acceptable to both friend and foe.

I'm afraid you'll have to approve the matter of the territory in person again.

The biggest issue is the "steam locomotive" track laying project proposed by the Council Council - based on the technology of the dwarf count, based on the non-sleepless casting of Chitirati, the delicate performance of the steam car you have seen before can be upgraded to a larger size, so that the effect of mass transportation can be realized. But because the locomotive weighs 100 tons, the ordinary road surface simply cannot withstand it, so the track must be laid so that the train can run on the track.

Compared with the labor cost of laying work, it is difficult to make a large number of rails of the same size, and in the era of hand-made iron, only Chitirati can do it.

Even the dwarf counts had never built such a huge steam locomotive, and the rails were the first time. He didn't know much about it.

So, you need to decide which of his options is more feasible.

A, low-altitude suspension bridge. Huge steel bars were made in the shape of a "door" and lined up in a long line, and hanging wheels were placed on the top of the front compartment to leave the ground and float like a sling. It perfectly solves the problems of steam trains crushing the road, beast attacks, robbers jumping on the carriage and even ground friction, etc., ignoring the terrain difference.

B, Giant centipede. Eliminate the wheels, use the Golem technology and add many, many mechanical legs, and even the rails don't have to be laid, and there are problems with driving freely everywhere, climbing mountains and wading through water. Compared to the previous scheme, with the advantages of a free route, as well as the disadvantage of limited maximum speed, a bunch of long legs are certainly not as fast as wheels.

C, Metro. The pavement in the tunnels is mostly stronger, and it is fully hardened by magic, so that even the heavy, big ones can hold up at full speed. Compared to the previous plan, digging a tunnel is a big project, and you don't have the wizard in this area at hand, so you can only send workers to dig honestly, which is very tricky, and the advantage is that you can avoid many troubles, such as rain and snow, wild beasts and robbers.

D, flying wing monorail. A long steel track was laid on the road, so that each carriage of the train was equipped with wings and rode on the tracks like a wheelbarrow. Smaller friction area and greater wing buoyancy means higher speeds, and due to inertia, you don't have to worry about rolling over while driving. Speed is an advantage over other options, and if the wings break or the rails on the ground are lying on a monster, even if it's just a Fumi ant, it can cause a fatal car accident.
