"It's time to go back."

Lin Xu looked at the room, and Esmeralda handed her something.

This is a mechanical spring. Springs are something that has been born naturally since the beginning of the metal age, but the spring in front of us is obviously much more sophisticated than those primitive springs.

This is what Esmeralda brought back from the snow wolf tie, some time ago, under Lin Xu's arrangement, Esmeralda went to the snow wolf realm through the dark sea dock under the tombstone of the demon king, passed on the things that Lin Xu explained to Linster, and brought back some dark enchanted products and the latest achievements of the dark blacksmiths from the territory.

Lin Xu certainly understands what the meaning of precision springs is.

As far as the proximity is concerned, the distance between the musket process in Lin Xu's territory from the arquebus system to the tunnel musket has been infinitely shortened, and as long as there are some tests and the improvement of the firearm primer material, the first batch of tunnel muskets will appear in Lin Xu's territory.

For the history of this world, legend has it that long before the Great Destruction, the dwarven civilization that had communicated with the arcane civilization had an advanced tunnel-fired musket. This step in the territory of Lin Xu is nothing compared to the entire history.

But this is a big step for the industrial system of the entire territory of Linxu.

Following the improvement of the gear pulley hoisting structure machinery of steelmaking and the improvement of blast furnace steelmaking, the dark blacksmiths under Lin Xu's command are about to have something worthy of mass production in the research and development of weapons.

……

December 35, 10029 in the New Yuan Calendar, which is also the last day of the year 10029.

Night.

Snow Wolf Castle.

Lord Snow Wolf Lady Syla arranged today's year-end dinner, and several housekeepers and chief guards of different Jinglin families were invited to attend.

In many parts of the Violet Alliance, the meaning of the Christmas and year-end dinners of aristocratic families is different, the Christmas dinner is generally held by their close relatives and subordinates, or even with each other, while the year-end dinner is more often an internal family gathering, and the family servants who have contributed greatly to the family during the year will be invited as a reward.

The dinner was held in the main hall of the family, with the members of the Jinglin family seated at separate tables, with Syra sitting at the same table with Linwick, Linjol, Lin Siqi, Yaya'an, and Linster, and the rest of the servants sitting together according to their own responsibilities.

In the second half of the dinner, Mrs. Syra asked Lady Yayaan to continue to preside, and the rest was arranged by Rinster to take her children to the family inner hall.

The servants didn't think it was so strange about this, everyone knew that Lin Siqi, the little princess of the Jinglin family, was born on the occasion of the New Year's crossing, and in previous years, everyone would hold a special birthday dinner for the little princess.

As the elder brother, Lin Wei Ke walked in front of his younger siblings, and when he walked into the family inner hall and saw that the two great knights of the family, Zola and Tu Bei, were guarding the door of the inner hall, Lin Weike had some doubts in his heart, and it seemed that the surrounding atmosphere was a little tense.

When he walked into the inner hall and saw the people on one side of the table, Linwick suddenly became enlightened.

"Brother!!" Lin Xu stood up with a smile, and Lin Siqi took the lead in running over and pounced on Lin Xu. "Why did you come back, you didn't tell us, and you weren't there at the family dinner just now......"

Lady Syra looked at Lins, who had only been informed by Linster yesterday.

"Oh, this time I secretly ran back, recently the Druid Academy has entered combat readiness, and I, as a druid official, can't run too far......"

"I don't care! You just didn't tell me anyway...... Kindness...... What about my gifts, I want ...... gifts," Lin Siqi said with a mutter.

"Of course, I'll surprise you later." Lin Xu hugged Lin Siqi and turned around.

"Doesn't it matter?" Syrac asked.

"It's okay, I've arranged it in the academy, and it's okay to come back now, but I can't let others know, otherwise there will be gossip." Lin Xu panicked.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Linxu Revolutionary Army dressed in ceremonial clothes around him lifted the lid of the thermos pot covering the dishes on the table, and Linster also walked to the table and personally held a carefully baked and roasted Winter Mountain reindeer and put it on the table.

"Let's eat." Lin Xu said.

Seeing the happy scene of the family sitting together, Lin Xu felt that his decision to come back like this was right.

……

January 1, 10030

In the Xuezhen Temple of the revolutionary army camp under Lin Xu's command, thirteen reindeer on the pulpit were bound and waiting to be sacrificed, while in the Xuezhen Temple, the current more than 400 soldiers of the revolutionary army were sitting upright on the seats arranged in a circle.

Blood Moon Prayer for Bloody Mass!

Dressed in the robes of the Grand Shepherd of the Snow Temple at his own discretion, Lin Xu stood on the pulpit and used the skills of the Blood Moon Priest.

There was a burst of blood on the pulpit, and the smell of blood gradually spread.

All the officers and men of the revolutionary army present began to pray with Lin Xu's guidance.

"Thank Allah for giving us food, giving us bodies, giving us the power to seek, and we will defend our families and lives behind Allah and defeat any enemy who wants to plunder ahead. Praise be to you, Allah! ”

As the prayers progressed, the eyes of the soldiers of the revolutionary army gradually appeared with varying degrees of blood, some of which were intense, while others were very dim.

"Pick half of those people, make three transfers, look at the rate of fanatical loyalty, and study how we can produce more fanatical and loyal soldiers in the future."

Lin Xu pointed out the soldiers with strong blood and said to Linster, who was also wearing a pastor's robe.

"In addition, those who have almost no blood light, you can also investigate them, and if there are any ill intentions, dispose of them in advance. Pay attention to the means. ”

……

Two days later, the fanatical and loyal men of Lin Xu's revolutionary army had grown from eleven to twenty-three. With the addition of Hoglard de Esmeralda and Ggwini, Lin Xu's loyal men that Lin Xu could fully trust reached twenty-five.

……

Inside the camp of the Snow Shrine in the Winter Mountains, between the kingdoms of Villadusag and Dondean.

Victoria, the royal daughter of the Snow Wolf Tribe, was stopping in front of the Snow Zhen Temple, looking at the snow-white dome building more than ten meters high in front of her. Behind her is the 'White Wolf Battle Song' that has always been loyal to her, and there is a priest of the Winter Snow Wolf Temple.

Then, not long after, Lin Xu and Curry, who were dressed in the pastor clothes of the Snow Temple, walked out one after the other.

"Viking Lin Xu, you've been making a lot of trouble lately." Victoria said lightly to Lin Xu.

"I know." Of course, Lin Xu knew what was going on, and when he put Curry in charge of the Snow Temple here, he gave an order for Curry to convert as many of the Snow Wolf tribesmen of Villadusag as possible into followers of the Snow Temple. For this reason, in the three Yukijin temples around Villadusag, statues of the Snow Wolf of the Winter Winter are placed in the temples, and in these Yuzhan temples, the statue of the Red Moon is nothing more than a decoration.

Curry also publicly represented Lin Xu in the Druid Temple of the Winter Kingdom to make a gesture of goodwill to the Winter Snow Wolf Temple in Villadusag, saying that the three camps under Lin Xu's name, the Snow Temple, would be used together with the temple to worship the Winter Snow Wolf for a long time.

At first, Curry only gathered the people of the Snow Wolf tribe to do some simple prayer rituals, but later, with the effect of the Blood Moon Prayer Technique that Curry used as a Blood Moon Priest, more and more Snow Wolf people began to be willing to go to these three Snow Shrines to participate in the weekend prayer services.

In that prayer ritual, the people involved feel so close to God during the time of prayer.

Soon, rumors of the miraculous effects of the prayer rituals at the Snow Mosque spread throughout Viradusag.

A large number of Snow Wolf people who were not qualified to enter the Winter Snow Wolf Temple to participate in the worship began to make regular pilgrimages to the Snow Wolf Temple.

In this way, they can satisfy their faith needs.

This situation invisibly violated the authority of the Winter Snow Wolf Temple, and this time Victoria's priest was from a Viking family and came to deal with Lin Xu on behalf of the Winter Snow Wolf Temple.

"Victor, the people of the Snow Wolf Tribe should be in awe of the Snow Wolf, I just want to move this process forward. You know I have Viking blood in my veins, too, and I won't do you any harm like this. Lin Xu replied.

"I know what you want to do." Victoria said as she looked at a piece of armor under Lin Xu's robe. "I support you in doing so, but the temple doesn't."

"I'm not going to give up. The Temple simply felt that our actions were offensive to their authority, and that we were not harming the Temple's substantial interests. Your Excellency the Celebrant Priest, I do not want to gain anything from this prayer, through which the people of the Snow Wolf tribe have become more loyal to the god of winter. If the temple still thinks we are inappropriate, we can allow the temple to send priests to the temple and get all the donations from the Snow Wolf people. What do you think of this? Lin Xu said to the priests, Victoria, and Curry.

"Lord Druid, I will pass your message on to the staff and the canons of the temple." The priest then withdrew.

Victoria obviously had something to talk to Lin Xu, who looked at Curry and motioned for Curry to step down as well.

Lin Xu looked at Victoria's eyes, and at this time, the other party's eyes slightly revealed a trace of nervousness.

"Will you help me? A younger brother with Viking blood? Victoria said.

"Of course! Victor, we're friends, aren't we? Lin Xu said.

"Dusatan proposed to me at the Council of Tribal Elders, for the Dusa family. They want me to get engaged to Dusain this year. Victoria said the news gloomily.

"You can't refuse?

"The elders believe that the conflict between the Vikings and the Dusa can only be resolved through our marriage, and that I, as the leader of the tribe, should make sacrifices."

"Sacrifice?"

"Dusatan made a lot of concessions because of the engagement, but I knew he was only going to seek more after the marriage."

"Do you want to? Betrothal. “

"I don't want to."

"Then refuse. Delay for half a year, and I'll help you destroy the Dussa family. “
