072 A different caravan
Three or four hours had passed since sunset, and Lily walked out of the Knights of the Round Table's apartment and returned to the courtyard where the guest room was, accompanied by Gareth.
Originally, there was no need for a Knight of the Round Table to escort this distance, and even at night, there were patrolling guards, so the royal city was completely safe.
Gareth said that he was worried that Lily would not be able to walk alone at night, but in fact it was just to talk to this "sister" for a while longer.
The two talked almost all afternoon, which on the one hand proved that two women could also play a play, and on the other hand, it also showed that Gareth herself was not as busy as her brother as a Knight of the Round Table, and her task was actually to protect the city of Camelot, so as long as there was no foreign invasion and turmoil in the city, there was no practical work for her to do.
As soon as I walked into the small courtyard of the guest room, I heard Larry's voice coming.
"Oh, are you finally done?"
The night was dark, and half of the courtyard was illuminated by the candle light in Larry's hand, while the remaining half of the courtyard was blocked by something behind him.
"Hah, you're waiting for Artoria, aren't you? Looks like I came back with me. Like a big sister who dotes on her sister very much, Gareth's eyes when he looks at Larry have already made it clear that "you kid is really not happy", even in this dimly lit environment.
Faced with this situation, Larry also sighed helplessly, and did not maintain a gentle attitude as before.
"I say, Miss Gareth, you are a Knight of the Round Table, why are you so jealous? Do you have such envy that I am with Miss Artoria? Larry rubbed her chin on her hand with some impatience and looked at Gareth with a look of annoyance.
“.... What did you say? I... Jealous of you? Gareth was a little surprised, not only because of Larry's gunpowder-like way of speaking, but also because he was curious about how he seemed to be a different person, and his temper suddenly became a little irritable.
"Mr. Larry, are you alright?" Lily also sensed that Larry was different, and asked a little worriedly.
"Ahh Nothing, forget it, just if I didn't say anything, okay? I'm tired and don't really want to argue with people. Larry yawned, looking sleep-deprived.
After discussing things with the old man at the blacksmith shop, he hurried back and only made a hair dryer and sent it over, and then exchanged it for a cart of iron, which was a bit like playing some kind of RPG game and exchanging materials with NPCs.
"It's tiring to make this thing, okay, and then I'll have to wait for you to come back, anyway, I'm a little overwhelmed." Larry pointed to something behind him, his head swaying slightly, and he almost fell to the ground.
“..... You mean, you made this caravan? Although the light was dim, it was not difficult to see that Larry was behind a caravan.
It's just that unlike Gareth's impression of the caravan, this caravan does not have a front wheel, which means that it cannot be pulled by horses or other livestock, and although the appearance is not much different, the chassis is unusually low, almost touching the ground, so that the caravan is difficult to move as long as it encounters rough terrain.
"yes, otherwise what do you think I'm going to rely on to deliver food? Do not rely on your chariots, which I have made myself? Hmph~" snorted coldly, filled with Leyry's disdain for the backward appliances of this era.
"What are you nervous about? How can a caravan without even a wheel move...."
This is a natural thing, and there is no chariot for horses to pull, so should such a caravan be pulled by men?
But in a trance, Gareth seemed to see that the car was moving, and his unfinished words were interrupted, and he rubbed his eyes a little, and what he saw was undoubtedly a slowly moving caravan.
"This.... What's going on? ”
Lyry hung his head and pressed the controller in his hand and replied lazily, "Ahhhhhh No, it's a hassle to explain, I don't want to say it, you just need to know that it's movable, and it's able to deliver food back in quality and quantity, and that's the tool I've prepared. ”
It took Larry seven or eight hours to complete the automatic vehicle, which was produced by the combination of modern technology and ancient materials, and the energy expended, as well as the errors and handling problems, made Larry feel like he was working overtime.
Although it looks the same as a normal caravan, in fact, Larry added a huge tin refrigerator inside, and hit solar panels on the roof as a power supply, and the ground sank because of the installation of many drives, finally completing such a self-walking caravan.
This was the first time Larry had completed such a complex structure, and the most that had been done in the past was to modify a box, and it was clear that building an autonomous vehicle from scratch would take more effort than he had imagined.
"So, Miss Gareth, are you okay to look at things? If you agree, I'll go to bed, and tomorrow I'll leave for Ireland. Another yawn shows that Larry is really sleepy.
Although Gareth was still very concerned about Larry's title at first, considering his state, it was not good for him to be too accountable as a knight, but the move just now gave her a new perspective on Larry.
"Well, I have to agree, what you made is a bit surprising, is it magic or something?" In terms of the scientific literacy of human beings in this era, there is probably only one such thought.
"Ah, so to speak, well, good, then I'll go back to sleep."
Dragging his body that was about to fall apart, Larry walked up the stairs of the guest room like a walking corpse, returned to his own room, and fell asleep.
The rest of Lily and Gareth took a look around the caravan.
"Is this huge iron box inside the key to preserving the food he said?" Lifting the curtain, Gareth saw that the huge iron box took up most of the space inside the caravan.
"Maybe, it's a little incredible!" Lily was much more curious than Gareth, touching up and down, seemingly very interested in the caravan that Larry had made.
"But.... Ireland is on the other side of the sea, right? A car of this weight is not easy to cross the sea. "The backwardness of the times makes the load of the ship here not very large, and the caravan with the weight of an iron box inside, not to mention when you go, what it will look like when you come back, with the current ship technology, it is difficult to carry.
Gareth made this judgment with only a slight estimate of the caravan's weight.
"I think Mr. Larry must have another way, maybe this car can just cross the sea!" Lily makes a bold guess, but it draws a burst of laughter from Gareth.
"That's a good idea, but if this car can walk on the sea, then I guess one day I'll be able to spread my wings and fly."
After laughing, Gareth let out a sigh of relief and put his hand on the caravan.
"Maybe he's not really a suspicious person, Artoria, your instincts haven't been missed."
Countless things kept passing through Gareth's mind, and finally, as if she had made a decision, she slowly raised her head, and under the bright moonlight, there was a resolute face.
