Back in the city of Somsonas, sit in a warm and comfortable restaurant with a few windows, a cup of fragrant and thirst-quenching hot tea, and look at the streets with people and cars, snow-capped rooftops and ice-covered trees......

A few days earlier, Weiss had survived the unbearable disaster, and instead of waiting, he chose to leave alone. The reason for making this choice is that he is worried that he will find himself in a situation where the military will be difficult to argue with and the more he is portrayed, after all, he is now unable to say anything except his name and approximate identity. However, if he is indeed the only survivor of the disaster and chooses to remain silent, he may let the truth of the incident be buried in the dark for a long time, and the heroic deeds of Big Tall and Luke will not be known, which makes Weiss fall into a deep conflict.

Walking all the way, thinking all the way, and finally arriving at this city located at the foot of the mountains and on the shore of green water. As far as the eye can see, there are about two or three thousand households here, most of the buildings are stone facades, and the streets are paved with gravel, giving people the overall feeling of being rustic and heavy. Downstream of the river, dotted with bungalows and chimneys, presumably the gunsmiths of the Clumber-Hasen family.

Halfway through the refill of the cup of hot tea, Weiss saw a two-horse carriage stop in front of the restaurant, and a middle-aged man in a bowler hat and a black dress came down from it.

"Young Master, why did you walk back directly? When you get to Dilo, you should tell us to pick you up! You see, you've been out for so long, and there's no news at all, and Madame is worried! ”

As he spoke, Weiss squinted, and a green frame popped out of his gaze:

Biological function 1.9/1.9

Mental vitality 2.4/2.6

Combat potential 5.0-5.8

Equivalent protection 4.5-5.2

Action speed 10.3-15.5

Belch...... Is this the legendary war scum?

If you remove the bonus effect of weapons, what is the value of your combat power? (Mao method, the mirror can't reflect brain waves)

Seeing Wei Si frowning, the "black dress" hurriedly explained: "Of course, not only Madame, but also the Lord is also worried about your safety. The snow is extremely fierce, and there are herds of iguanas living in the snow realm, in case you look like the eldest young master...... Ahem, it's great that you're back unscathed! ”

Belch? There is also a big young master in this family? What's going on?

Seeing that his young master still didn't say anything, the "black dress" stood respectfully in front of the table, but then when he saw him holding the cup, his eyes widened, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"What's wrong?" Weiss was uncomfortable with the strange look in the other party's eyes.

After entering the city, he didn't ask around, but chose this restaurant with an okay environment and ordered a "set menu" with a price tag of 12 crowns. The meal is meat and vegetarian, the taste is acceptable, the tea is a little strange at the beginning, and the taste is accepted after a few more sips.

"Uh, nothing! It's nothing! The answer to the "black dress" was a bit hesitant.

Weiss put down the cup and untied the napkin: "Can you go back?" ”

"Of course! Of course! The "black dress" hurriedly turned sideways and bent down to make a "please" gesture.

Weiss picked up his rucksack and shotgun, and walked unhurriedly towards the door. Walked to the door, stopped in front of the waitress, took out his wallet, and placed a 20 kroner bill in his tray: "No need to look for it. ”

He was about to put away his wallet and walk out, but found the waiter looking at him dumbfounded, Weiss wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

The waitress with a green face hurriedly shook her head into a rattle.

Weiss glanced back at the inside of the restaurant and saw that all the diners were looking at him strangely.

Could it be that the dragon they knew, Clumber Haysen, never ate the hot drinks in "Set One" and didn't pay for his meals?

Weiss suddenly felt uncomfortable.

As soon as they got into the carriage and left, the restaurant, which had been very quiet just a moment ago, suddenly became full of people.

"Hey, he's always only gone to the Red Hotel to eat, what's going on today? Actually come to the 'men's restaurant' to eat? Pay for it yourself when you go? ”

"Is it because you haven't been able to hunt the snow that your words and deeds are abnormal?"

"I don't know! Anyway, it looks very different, like a different person. If it weren't for the big butler Reina to pick him up, I would have thought I would have been dazzled by the wrong person. ”

"How could you be mistaken? The 'starlight' in his hand is unique! ”

"Hey, Valena, did you think you were dreaming just now?" Someone craned her neck and asked the waitress at the door.

There was a burst of laughter in the restaurant.

Then, the middle-aged man sitting near the restaurant sneered, "I thought he would give you a 50 or 100 one, and then you would cry happily, and it turned out to be ...... Tsk, the heirs of the Clumber-Haysen family are not very generous! ”

There was another burst of laughter in the dining room.

The waitress blushed and muttered in a low voice, "How can you uneducated guys laugh at others like this? ”

People relentlessly quipped, "Hey, hey, I see, the heir of the Clumber-Haytham family must have taken a fancy to our Valena!" The wonderful love story of five centuries ago is going to be repeated in this generation again, and people can't help but cry when they think about it! ”

The restaurant was filled with laughter of all kinds.

Weiss, who was riding away in a carriage, certainly did not know what was happening in the restaurant.

"Shouldn't I go to a restaurant like that?" He saw that the "black dress" was full of suspicions, but out of politeness, it was not good to ask too much, so he could only hold the words in his stomach.

The "black dress" sitting opposite pondered: "It's okay to occasionally go to the 'men's restaurant' to feel the life of the common people, just to see you drinking ancient melon tea, uh...... You've never drunk anything like this before. ”

Weiss curled the corners of his mouth slightly: "Actually, it tastes good." ”

"Black Dress" smiled slightly: "Also, before you went to the military academy, you never went out without a wallet, and I feel that this year's military school life has really changed you a lot." ”

"Really?" Weiss replied casually, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: In the past, he seemed to be a rich second generation who didn't do his job properly and didn't want to make progress? No wonder Luke was cold to himself at first, it turned out that he hated himself for being mediocre and overwhelmed!

His young master didn't speak, and there were not many words about "black dress".

The carriage left the city and walked along a long tree-lined road for about ten minutes, followed by an uphill road where the beautiful scenery distracted Weiss and put aside the deep sadness in his heart for a moment.

People cannot live in the past, it is important to walk the path of the present and the future.

Two strong brown horses pulled the carriage up to the top of the slope, and their eyes were cheerful, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the snow, as if they had come to the clouds from the world. After four or five hundred meters, I turned a bend and a blue mountain lake appeared in front of me.

On the eastern shore of the lake, on a high cliff, sits a gray castle. It does not have the grandeur, nobility and elegance of the royal palace, nor the extravagant, romantic and dreamlike mansions of the giants, and the exterior walls are like most of the houses in the city of Somsonas, showing the primary color of stone materials, the shape lacks beauty, but it is certainly durable, and the terrain is dangerous, whether in the era of cold weapons or black powder, it is enough to be used as a military fortress.

"How many years have we been here?" Weiss asked.

"This year marks the 289th year." "Black dress" replied without thinking.

"289 years......" Weiss whispered to repeat the number. A family that has prospered for nearly three centuries should be a very remarkable family, but as the saying goes, everything rises and falls naturally, and countries rise and fall, and so does the family.

"According to family history, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary celebration, the head of the family was given the title of royal knight by the ruler Mohenheide I, and the Clumber-Heisen family entered the ranks of the nobility; During the 200th anniversary celebration, the ruler of the time, Andrael IV, visited and praised the place as a place where the gods had lost their lives, and at that time, most of the army's standard muskets came from the Clumber-Heyssen family, and it was during this period that the family received hereditary lordship. ”

With that, the "black dress" glanced at Weiss calmly.

11 years later, the 300th anniversary celebration of the family, whether it is the memory and stumbling of a group of downtrodden, or the reappearance of the glory and glory of the past, depends on whether the family successor is good or bad.

Weiss, of course, could hear the implication, if it weren't for the previous experience of being born and dying in the snowy mountains, he might not have a clue about the revitalization of the family, but after experiencing that fierce battle, he already has a deep understanding of the military firearms of this era.

However, until the parties are clarified, this idea is not enough for outsiders.

"What has happened in the days I've been away?"

"Black Dress" thought for a while: "On the side of the gun factory, another senior craftsman and 1 intermediate craftsman resigned, and they did not directly join any of the factories under the Grumman Group, but accepted the employment of the Aocheng Gun Research Institute, and then transferred to work in the Lorraine Arsenal of the Grumman Group in the name of cooperative research and development. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that this is the ghost of the Grumman Group, but we still can't do anything about them! ”

Weiss couldn't help but wonder: Didn't the Clumber-Haysen family already join the Grumman Group? Why do you continue to be poached after joining, what kind of reason is this?

"Black Dress" paused and continued: "Now, we only have 2 special craftsmen, 2 senior craftsmen, 6 intermediate craftsmen, and 14 junior craftsmen left, and the task of delivering the 'Warrior Rifle' before the celebration is already very urgent, and we also have to bid for the development of a new gun for the military's sniper rifle. ”

For military enterprises, the innovation and upgrading of military equipment is an opportunity to re-determine market share and an important opportunity to affect the fate of enterprises. Winning a bid can bring a dying company back to life and lose the bid, or it can put a company that was already growing well on a downward slope.

These days, Weiss has searched his memory very hard, trying to find information from the "host's" brain beyond various passive skills, but without success. In this way, many things that seem very simple to others, he must re-understand the ins and outs, and he must not behave too abnormally.

"Do you remember Luke?" Weissdau.

"Luke? Well...... It's the youngest son of Grand Craftsman Kermorn, the one who served in the Union Army, right? ”

"Yes, this trip, I happened to meet his unit on a secret mission, not to mention the process, this special experience gave me some new understanding and ideas about the development of sniper rifles."

"Oh?" "Black Dress" looked surprised, "More contact with the military will definitely be of great benefit to us to determine the direction of the development of the bidding rifle, and the Lord will be very happy to know it!" ”

The Lord repeatedly mentioned in the "Black Dress" is the current head of the Clumber-Haysen family, Weiss's "cheap daddy". As the saying goes, if the son is the father, will the lord find out that he is "dropping the bag"?

Weiss couldn't help but be a little curious, but it was just curious.

The previous experience made him reborn at the spiritual and psychological level. In layman's terms, what else is a big deal for people who have walked through before the ghost gate closes?
