"Hey, Al, sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay, Bartol, my brother, I'm glad you're back." Still, Al Hesian hugged Lao Luo as the Arabs did, which was brotherly etiquette, even though he was not wearing a traditional Arabic robe.

"What have you been up to lately, Al?" Old Lo pulled each other to sit down, and the two hadn't chatted together for a while.

"It's not the repeater I talked about a few days ago, your drawings are indeed feasible, but it takes too long to make a repeater, and it is difficult to replace the parts according to your requirements." Al Hesyn looked depressed when he talked about this, it seems that the matter of the crossbow has given him a headache during this time.

"That's really urgent, you need to take it step by step, make a few samples first, test it, and finalize it before you can consider mass production." Lao Luo is very clear about this kind of craftsmanship, and he can't make hot weapons at the moment, but if he wants to standardize the mass production of cold weapons, there are also many difficulties to pass, and it is by no means something that can be solved in just a few months.

"It's okay, but it's difficult to equip this repeater with a large number of ......" The first time El Hesion came into contact with the production link, he was only revered as a great sage in the Fatimid Kingdom, in fact, many things the caliph or the magnates would not allow him to interfere in, in other words, the oriental elegant word, is noble.

"It doesn't matter, in the short term, even crossbows can only be equipped for scouts, and if you prepare a lot, it will take too much, and the craftsmen and materials can't afford it. The cavalry was mainly equipped with a cavalry lance, a scimitar and a cavalry bow, which needed to be restructured. "The affairs of the army Lao Luo can be at your fingertips, whether it is a hot weapon or a cold weapon today.

"Well, that's all I have to do, I'm tired of staying in a tent all the time, Allah is above, I haven't lived in a tent for so long, I like to live in a tall house with a dome." It should be said that Al Hesian is an otaku of this era, and the relationship between him and Lao Luo is a rare equal dialogue, starting from Kai Helen, the dialogue between the two has always been outspoken.

Lao Luo also cherishes this kind of friendship, in this era, it is difficult for him to find an equal interlocutor, as he has more people, the fewer people who can talk to him on an equal footing in the future, so he never cares about the little request of Al Hessin, not to mention this kind of reasonable, "Okay, Al, you will manage the affairs of the craftsman, you know, it is estimated that even if I go to the East, it will be difficult for me to keep an eye on the craftsman." ”

"Bartol, I can't keep an eye on it alone, at most I will help find technical problems, process management and the like still need manpower."

"No problem, Al. I believe in your vision, you have selected the right people among the craftsmen to manage. ”

"......" Al Hesian was a little speechless, this big barbarian, what's wrong with today, he used to stare around uneasily, but now he is about to give up power, he looked at Lao Luo's face carefully, "Hey, Bartol, what's wrong with you today?" Feeling tired and worried? ”

"That's right, it's just tired." Lao Luo also did not shy away from saying that in fact, he asked Nurralman to find Al Hessin, the main purpose was to find someone to chat, for more than a year, he was working hard for the matter of returning to the East, forcing himself to be busy, so as not to fall into confusion because of the confusion of time and space, and now the matter of returning to the East is ready, but why is it so busy?

"Tired? If you are tired from traveling for more than 20 days, then you should take a serious rest. Al Hesian did feel that Lao Luo's face had a very tired feeling.

"No, no, it's not physical tiredness," Lao Luo pondered how to describe it in words that could be understood by the other party, and he said in a mixture of Arabic and Latin, "It just feels like such a busy life, what is the meaning?" Build a big empire? I can feel that I am on the road to becoming a king, but power is not something I am obsessed with, and for me, even being a king does not mean power and enjoyment, but more responsibility and pressure. Truth be told, Al, as long as I want, no part of this world can stop me, and I can survive well wherever I go. ”

"Well, Bartol, my brother, I think I understand what you mean" Al Hesion looked at her friend with a smile, listening to his nagging words, the light in her eyes contained understanding and appreciation, "You are right, you are on the road to becoming a king, it is not an easy task, it is much more difficult than I used to read the mathematical theories of Pythgoras and Euclid. But I can feel that you don't want to give up on your people, you are just a little confused, a little tired, and need to rest and think. ”

"Al, you're right, I do need to rest and think. But you don't fully understand my words, I don't think it's hard to build an empire, it's nothing more than people and things, and it's not difficult for me to integrate people and mobilize materials. Lao Luo carefully collected his vocabulary and tried hard to express what he thought, "I think about it, where are many glorious empires in history now?"

The Assyrians, Phoenicians, and Carthaginians were all glorious for a while, ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, Alexander's empire, and the Persian empire were also glorious in the east, and the land in the east also had the Xia Dynasty, the Yin Shang Dynasty, and the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasty, and later the Han Empire and the Tang Empire 200 years ago.

The original kings have become the company of insects and snakes in the earth, the theories left by the sages have been burned, buried and forgotten, and people still wield knives and kill blindly when it is time to kill. ”

Lao Luo's rare tirade, expounding his confusion, even after a thousand years, greed, ignorance, and blind obedience still rule over mankind, and the progress of technology has not produced any great harmony, but has become more efficient in killing its own kind. As a professional warrior, he Lao Luo is not afraid of fighting, he just doesn't want to fight meaninglessly, it is difficult for him to get out of the future generations, and now there is nothing in this world that can restrain him, so he can naturally let go of his thoughts, and he naturally has no scruples when he speaks.

Al Hesyn listened very carefully and carefully, and as a university scholar, he certainly knew the role of listening, let alone facing this almost omnipotent partner in front of him.

Lao Luo's words shocked him, many ancient rumors he had never heard, with such an understanding, he could still say such a thing, the tall guy opposite was obviously not a simple warrior, although Al had long understood this fact, but he still couldn't help but cheer for his fellow travelers in his heart, "Bartol, my brother, you think too much." I don't know what you said about the East, but I have heard about the cruelty of the Assyrians in ancient times, the greed of the Phoenicians, the luxury of the Babylonians, the stupidity of the Carthaginians...... But after all, they have been glorious, and there is no kingdom of eternal prosperity, just as there is no eternal strong warrior.

The great Alexander the Great built a great empire with violence and sharing, but his empire had no foundation, so after the death of Alexander the Great, that empire was shattered, and then the Romans borrowed from the Athenian republican system to establish a republic, but they also failed to control people's desires, so there was Caesar, and there was the title of Augustus, but despite this, the mighty Rome perished.

But the spirit and the system of Rome have been inherited, and that's why there is the Byzantine Empire today, you know, they always call themselves the Roman Empire. If you want me to say that Bartol, you think too much, life is more than 100 years old, you can build a territory with the people who believe in you, an empire, and when you are alive, you will lead everyone to work hard to create the kingdom in your heart.

As for the future, you and I will all have the day of death, whether it is to see Allah or you to see your Emperor Dongyue, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with you and me. The things of future generations will naturally be completed by future generations, and if you have done everything, what else do they do? Do you want to die by eating together? ”

Alhesian's words were also very long, and Lao Luo heard the answer of a real interlocutor, not the kind of blind obedience of his subordinates, nor the kind of answer with national narrowness or prejudice of the Li family or the Zhang family.

"Al, my brother, you are worthy of being the great sage of the Fatimid Kingdom!" Lao Luo was very happy, worthy of being the character he chose to dialogue with, and worthy of himself to bring this bearded man out of Kai Helen, what he said was really to the point, "You are right, the affairs of future generations will naturally be completed by future generations, and I am not a nanny, I just want to be a leader." ”

"Haha, Bartol, this is the first time you've called me brother, right?" Alhesian was very happy, although the time experienced was not long, but in just over a year, this journey seemed to have gone through half of the journey of life, rich and colorful, much more comfortable than in the big cage of Helen.

"Al, don't be so serious, you know, I'm a shy person." After thinking about it, Lao Luo's mood was much better, and his face, which was often cold, was also much more cheerful.

"Allah, Batol, you cold-faced guy know how to be shy? It's really rare, I thought you were always a serious ......" El Hesion muttered very happy, no matter what, it is impossible for him to return to the Fatimid kingdom, let alone the Abbasid kingdom, and with the big man Bartol, it is possible for him to display his talents in this era, and not just as a guest of honor for the caliphate.

When Lao Luo still wanted to speak, many immature dog barks came from outside the tent.
