Chapter 242: Night Talk

The last time I drank was when I was 14 years old, and my father reprimanded me so badly that I haven't drunk since. Rowling blushed, leaning back against the tree, looking up at the moon in the sky.

"I haven't drunk in a long time, if it weren't for today's party. Murphy shrugged his shoulders and sat down against the tree.

The night sky was full of stars, and the evening breeze was blowing, which stirred Murphy's short blond hair and made him sober up a little.

"Compared to the king, although my father is not bad, but he has always been family-oriented, my sister has been used as a tool for political marriage by him to marry the eldest prince of the Duke of Lagwen's family, and later he even wanted to marry me directly to the second prince. Rowling had drunk, and what she didn't dare to say was completely out of Angel's help, and she confided it all by herself.

"So that's why you're here in the North?" Murphy was a little surprised, he only knew that Rowling had come to hide here for a while, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason.

"That's right, I'm a sage disciple, although my father wants to marry me to the second prince, but I must get the consent of my teacher, fortunately my teacher cares more about my thoughts, so I strongly oppose it, this marriage did not work out, but since then I have also lost my good opinion of the family, so I plan to take advantage of the king's choice of noble children to go to the border to support, take the initiative to come. Rowling yawned and stretched, her curves unmistakable.

"What about Angel? What's the matter with her?" asked Murphy, holding himself back from looking at Rowling, taking a sip of wine.

"Angel, this girl is purely sneaking out, and she is your admirer, your resistance to the invasion of Thebes has spread in the royal capital, everyone can't imagine that a prince has turned into a big hero who defends the country, plus the arquebus was introduced into the royal capital to attract the collective attention of the royal family and nobles, and began to imitate the workshop, you have now become a celebrity in the royal capital noble lady circle like the eldest prince!"

"Angel is an addicted knight and drama, she has always wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, his father Duke Lowell deliberately locked her in the house when he went south, for fear that she would cause trouble and go out to run around, but I didn't expect her to use the charging talisman that her teacher gave her to chisel through the magic circle, sneak out, and escaped to my and Cross's convoy, and didn't even bring a cent of money, from the beginning of her 'escape' to the present, a total of 170 gold is owed to me. Rowling leaned back, clasped her head in her hands, and took off her glasses and put them in her pockets.

"Really...... It's quite rebellious. Murphy listened to Rowling's story, and was a little speechless about Angel's divine operation.

"Wait, do you mean that the king has already started copying the arquebuses I made?" Murphy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly caught the heart of Rowling's words.

"That's right. This is already well known in the royal capital, the royal family allocated 300,000 gold Naso to build a workshop, selected skilled craftsmen to imitate and transform the arquebus, and also transported a large amount of lead to make lead bullets, intending to create a musket army, so as to occupy the initiative on the battlefield in the south; Rowling said that the drinking did not distract her.

"It seems that the people of this era are not so stubborn, and they also see the potential advantages of muskets very clearly. Murphy thought secretly, "But the speed at which they develop gunpowder weapons is still too slow, and I have to ensure that the weapon generation gap is crushed at all times, maybe after the second weapon innovation, the flintlock pistol can be put on the market for sale, which can not only improve the country's scientific research speed, but also ensure the leading technology, and most importantly, make money." ”

"You're meditating for the third time since I met you today, how did you complete the bet between us?" Rowling asked, glancing over at Murphy.

"It's okay, it's still relatively smooth, I've found a replacement for Yuanjing, and the rest only needs to build a machine with a higher success rate, but it will take a while to improve. What about you?" it's not a secret, and it's okay to tell Rowling.

"I, ah, I haven't found a low-level magic similar to the Fire Binding Technique, and I'm trying to find a way to create my own spell, although it's more difficult, but I've already succeeded once, but if I want to make it useful, I still need a lot of repeated experiments. Rowling pouted, although the two had different research routes, they were in the same direction and their progress was similar.

"Isn't that all about the same! Let's go!" Murphy raised his glass and poured himself a glass.

"Let's go!" Rowling also picked up the wine glass and touched it with Murphy very boldly, and then drank it all like Murphy.

"Although this wine is very spicy, it will become a warm current in the stomach, which is very comfortable. ”

"Yes, I'll comment on it!" Murphy said with his legs crossed and changed his sitting position, smiling.

"So you two are here? Huh, you drank and didn't even call us!"

Suddenly, Angel's voice came from behind the tree the two were leaning on, and Angel was holding Cross's hand and walking here, pointing at the two and shouting.

"Why are you here?" Rowling was surprised to see that it was Angel and the others.

"Angel was worried about you, so she brought me over to have a look. Cross said helplessly.

"What do I have to worry about?" Rowling said, pouting.

"It's not that I'm out of town and I'm not familiar with the place, and it's normal for Angel to care so much. Murphy smiled and said, "Since you're here, why don't we stay together for a while?" I'll have someone bring some bottles of Coke, and we'll talk while we drink." ”

Murphy said as he called the attendant over and ordered him to go down.

"Grab a few more small cakes!" said Angel with her hand raised.

"Okay, bring two more baskets of small cakes!"

The squires moved quickly, no more than three minutes. A large blanket was spread out under the tree, on which were placed two baskets of small cakes, four cups, and four large bottles of Coke.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with those nobles from the North?" asked Cross, biting on a small cake.

"Dealing with the nobles? This is a secret for the time being, and you will see it with your own eyes when the time comes, and I will convince the nobles to give up this land, as well as my spoils of war and the claims of the population they have gained, and not only that, but they will be respectful to us in the future. Murphy suddenly said confidently at the mention of this question.

"Let me guess, it must have something to do with your loud weapon, right?" Rowling guessed.

"It's true, but I still can't tell you exactly how to do it. ”
