Chapter 38: Revolution and Prophecy
"But?"
Ning Wushuang frowned and wondered.
Lin Qingyu nodded and continued: "In the past three years of looking for Retonis, I have met two people who I am a little concerned about. ”
Ning Wushuang and his entourage hurriedly pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Lin Qingyu said.
"The first one is a male adventurer. It was encountered on the streets of the royal capital of the city of Ciris. ”
"Oh? Why would he care to you? Ning Wushuang asked.
Lin Qingyu rubbed his forehead, trying to recall the scene at that time.
On the crowded streets, Lin Qingyu is rushing to the Adventurers' Guild in Ciris City to look for clues about Retonis.
Suddenly, a man in armor also hurriedly passed by Lin Qingyu. Although Lin Qingyu deliberately dodged it, the saber on the man's waist still accidentally scraped Lin Qingyu's bag off.
The man politely said sorry to Lin Qingyu and took the initiative to bend down to help Lin Qingyu pick up his bags.
Lin Qingyu felt quite embarrassed, so he planned to pick it up himself, bent down and said, "It's okay, I..."
However, after Lin Qingyu bent down, he saw the man staring at his basketball shoes with a little shock.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qingyu hurriedly asked.
After the man saw Lin Qingyu looking at himself, he quickly picked up his bag and pretended to be okay and handed it back to Lin Qingyu and said, "I'm sorry, I have something important to do, I'll go first." ”
With that, the man left in a hurry.
"Are they also from our world?" Ning Wushuang wondered.
"Quite possibly." Lin Qingyu nodded and said.
Ning Wushuang continued to ask suspiciously, "But why did he want to avoid it?" ”
Zou Haoyun said with a big brain: "It is possible that he was a bad person who did all kinds of evil in the original world, and he was afraid of being recognized by others. ”
Qian Zilai shook his head and said, "Although I don't dare to say that it is impossible, this reason is still a bit involved." ”
Lin Qingyu also sighed and said, "Alas, I really can't figure it out, that's why I care." ”
"Can you describe the characteristics of that person?" Ning Wushuang continued to ask.
Lin Qingyu shook his head and said, "It's been too long, I can't remember what it looks like, I only remember that it's black hair and I look like I'm in my twenties." ”
"This..."Ning Wushuang was speechless.
"And another?" Yu Feng asked.
"And the other one, a soothsayer." Lin Qingyu replied.
"Wait... Fortune tellers? Ning Wushuang frowned and wondered.
Lin Qingyu nodded and said, "That's right, with a veil, it sounds like an old grandmother." ”
"The old witch?!" Zou Haoyun shouted with a glare.
Qian Zilai complained: "You're really not afraid of a bad tongue?" ”
Zou Haoyun said unbelievingly: "Do you also believe her nonsense? ”
Yu Feng lit a cigarette and took a puff before saying, "But she was quite accurate in predicting that many interesting things would happen after we became adventurers." ”
Zou Haoyun thought about it and felt a little weak, but he still said stiffly: "Cut, divination and fortune-telling are just psychological effects." ”
Lin Qingyu was puzzled: "You have also encountered it?" ”
Ning Wushuang nodded and asked rhetorically, "Did you let her divination?" ”
Lin Qingyu replied: "Although I have some doubts, I did try. ”
Ning Wushuang said curiously, "Oh? What was divined? ”
Lin Qingyu shook his head helplessly and said, "I originally wanted to divinate the whereabouts of Retonis, but she told me that I couldn't divinate other people's movements. ”
Zou Haoyun asked: "Then what did you do in the end?" ”
Lin Qingyu said with a wry smile: "She said to help me divinate the future, and I agreed." She told me that I was going to be at the heart of a revolution. ”
Ning Wushuang thought about it and whispered, "Revolution? ”
Lin Qingyu still smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, you said this is too." In this magical world, how can a person who can't even use magic become the core figure of the revolution? ”
Zou Haoyun said with a smile: "Hehe, you see I'm not wrong, right?" That old witch will make it up. ”
Qian Zilai was about to complain about Zou Haoyun, but Ning Wushuang suddenly said, "It's really possible." ”
Lin Qingyu frowned and wondered, "Why?" ”
Ning Wushuang asked seriously: "You studied mechanical engineering, right?" ”
Lin Qingyu nodded.
Ning Wushuang said with a smile: "Then this revolution is likely to be an 'industrial revolution' in another world." ”
When the words 'Industrial Revolution' were spoken, everyone except Sophia and Murajan became suddenly enlightened.
"That's right! How did I not think of that? Lin Qingyu's eyes seemed to ignite a small beam of fire.
However, the fire was soon extinguished again.
"But the skills I've learned alone don't work. Not to mention the materials, it's hard to say if there is a blacksmith in this other world who can create the mechanical parts I need. Lin Qingyu frowned and said.
Ning Wushuang comforted: "Don't be so quick to get discouraged. I've heard that the Dwarven Kingdom has the best crafting technology in this other world, and if you really want to get back to your old business, I think it's worth a visit. ”
Lin Qingyu thought seriously and muttered, "Dwarf Country? I did hear of it, but I haven't been either. ”
Sophia blinked, and said, "Maybe there's a place to find out where Retonis is?" ”
"yes, that's even more worth seeing." Ning Wushuang echoed.
Under the persuasion of Ning Wushuang and his party, Lin Qingyu gradually became a little moved.
"In that case, I'll go and see. If I really became one of those central characters, and became famous, Retonis would know where I was, right? You can know that I'm alive and well, right? Lin Qingyu looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the door and said slowly.
"Roar~"
Suddenly there was a cry of meat balls outside the door, and Ning Wushuang and his party hurriedly stood up and looked out of the door and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Qingyu slowly stood up and walked out of the door and said, "Tell me to cook." ”
"Cooking?" Ning Wushuang was even more puzzled.
The group followed Lin Qingyu out of the cabin.
After going out, everyone saw a wild boar in the mouth of the meat ball, the wild boar was not completely dead, and the four hooves were still kicking in the air.
Lin Qingyu explained: "Since Meatball followed Retonis, I don't like to eat raw food anymore. ”
After speaking, Lin Qingyu took out a knife, took the wild boar from the mouth of the meat ball and began to deal with it.
After processing, Lin Qingyu lit a fire and planned to roast it directly.
After finishing, Lin Qingyu asked Ning Wushuang and the others if they wanted to eat together.
Ning Wushuang and his party saw the meat ball staring at them fiercely behind Lin Qingyu, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Haha, no, no need, you eat with the meat ball, we have something to eat." After saying that, Ning Wushuang took out dry food and water such as dried meat, shortbread, and dried fruits from the storage ring.
"Haha, okay." Lin Qingyu didn't care, he cut a large piece of meat with a knife and forked it with a branch, and then cut it small pieces with a knife to eat.
The rest is put in front of the meat balls, and the meat balls are enjoyed with a delicious taste.
Everyone sat around the fire and continued to talk.
Zou Haoyun, who was sitting next to Lin Qingyu, asked curiously: "Is the meat ball male or female?" ”
Lin Qingyu replied: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Zou Haoyun took a bite of jerky and said, "Mother? Why is the personality so hot? ”
Lin Qingyu also replied a little puzzled: "The meat ball has never taken the initiative to attack humans, and today I don't know what's wrong, it will actually attack you." ”
Zou Haoyun said with a smile: "Haha, I see. Haven't you ever been robbed of prey before? ”
Lin Qingyu, who didn't know the truth, looked at Zou Haoyun with a puzzled frown.
Sophia blushed and said, "Hug, sorry." ”
As soon as Sophia finished speaking, the meat ball, which had been enjoying a good meal, suddenly yelled at Sophia again.
"Roar!!"
Frightened, Sophia put down the dry food in her hand, clasped her hands together and said to the meat ball: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." ”
"Meat ball!" Lin Qingyu hurriedly scolded.
The meat ball stopped staring at Sophia and continued to gnaw on the wild boar.
After that, everyone told Lin Qingyu what happened, which made Lin Qingyu laugh.
"Haha! I didn't expect it, it turns out that the meat ball is so stingy. Lin Qingyu rubbed the chin of the meat ball as he spoke.
"When are you going to go?" Ning Wushuang asked.
Lin Qingyu thought for a while and said, "The Dwarf Kingdom is in the northwest of the Lute Kingdom, north of the Forest of Light, and it is still a bit far from here. I think I'll be going in a few days. ”
"Is it so urgent?" Qian Zilai wondered.
"Let's go down the mountain early in winter, otherwise the weather will be hot, and the meat balls will not be happy to go down the mountain." Lin Qingyu said with a helpless smile.
"Haha, I see. When you get to the Dwarf Country, the temperature in the northwest over there should be just right for meatballs, right? Qian Zilai also smiled helplessly.
Lin Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Lin Qingyu frowned again and continued: "However, I'm afraid that the meat ball is not so easy to enter the city." At that time, I will also live in the wilderness. ”
"It's a bit of a hassle." Ning Wushuang also frowned.
"But I'm used to it, haha. Not a big problem. Lin Qingyu said with an optimistic smile.
Seeing that it was not too early, Ning Wushuang and the others planned to leave.
"Everyone, goodbye."
"We may go to the Dwarven Kingdom to buy equipment in the future, and we hope to reunite then."
"Haha, that's it."
"Brother Qingyu will accept this money and bring it with him, so that he can need it from time to time on the road." Ning Wushuang took out dozens of Lutes.
"No, no, no, how can I take your money? It's been a long time since I've had such a good conversation with others, thank you so much, I can't accept this money. ”
Ning Wushuang insisted: "Just think it's borrowed from us, it's a long way, you should always have some money to defend yourself." ”
Although Lin Qingyu was unwilling, at Ning Wushuang's insistence, Lin Qingyu finally borrowed ten Lute coins from Ning Wushuang, and promised to repay them twice in the future to repay everyone's kindness.
"It's all people of the same world, so don't be so polite. Goodbye, there will be a date later. After Ning Wushuang said goodbye to Lin Qingyu with a smile, he went down the mountain with everyone and returned to Kiba.
After seeing Ning Wushuang and his party leave, Lin Qingyu smiled and muttered to himself, "Dwarf Country? Haha, let's go tomorrow. With that, he went back to the hut and packed his bags.
After returning to Kiba, Ning Wushuang and the others were sitting in a rest chatting at the moment.
Mu Lajiang: "Haha, since there is no threat from the cold armored bear, then everyone's mission is considered a successful completion." ”
Zou Haoyun said embarrassedly: "This... Not so well, uncle. We don't seem to be doing much. ”
Mu Lajiang insisted that everyone go back to submit the task and receive the reward: "Don't be polite to me, everyone, complete more tasks, and be promoted to the gold rank as soon as possible, so that Mu Lajiang will also be stained." ”
"However, I just have something I want to discuss with you." Mu Lajiang suddenly said seriously.
Everyone hurriedly listened carefully, and Zou Haoyun, who was originally sitting on the sofa, also hurriedly sat upright.
"You know I've been busy for months, right?" Mu Lajan said with a smile.
The crowd nodded.
"Actually, I've been busy with a furniture order for the past few months. ”
"Busy with an order for a few months?! How big is this order? Qian Zilai was shocked.
Mu Lajiang smiled helplessly and said: "Originally, I didn't want to take such a big order, because it was too tiring. However, the identity of the principal... It's hard to refuse. ”
Ning Wushuang asked curiously, "What identity?" Can't you say? ”
Mu Lajiang shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't say it. In fact, the entrusting party is the royal family of the dwarf country. ”
"An order from the royal family?! And it's still a dwarf country?! Ning Wushuang and his party were shocked.
Originally, I thought that Mu Lajiang was just a well-known carpenter in Woder City, but I never thought that the uncle's fame had already spread to other countries.
"Uncle, you're too fierce, aren't you?" Zou Haoyun glared and said in surprise.
Mu Lajiang said helplessly: "The casting technology of the dwarf country is first-class, but the royal family prefers wooden furniture. ”
"But why did the dwarven royal family suddenly need so much furniture?" Yu Feng wondered.
"They seem to be preparing for an important day, so the royal family intends to renovate the palace."
"An important day?"
"Well, that's right. Seems to be related to a legend. ”
"Legends?" Ning Wushuang said curiously.
Mu Lajiang nodded and said, "Well, this legend seems to be a prophecy about the goddess of life. However, the specific content of the prophecy was passed down from generation to generation by the dwarven kings. ”
Ning Wushuang remembered Lin Qingyu's divination and said, "It can't be Lin Qingyu's 'Industrial Revolution', right?" ”
The rest of the people also nodded and said, "Very likely." ”
Ning Wushuang continued to ask, "What exactly does the uncle want to discuss with us?" ”
"Oh, haha, I almost forgot about business. Ahem. I just want you to help me escort this batch of furniture to the dwarf country. Murajan replied.
"Haha, you thought something was going on, leave it to us." Ning Wushuang patted his chest and said.
Zou Haoyun asked, "Uncle, when will this batch of furniture be shipped?" ”
After thinking for a while, Mulajan replied, "It is estimated that it will be at least spring." ”
"It's just winter, and it's still early."
"Well, yes. I'll let you know when the time comes. Sorry everybody. ”
"Haha, no trouble, no trouble. When the time comes, you may be able to enjoy the royal treatment when you go to the dwarf country, and you will be excited to think about it. ”
"Haha, it's not too early, let's go back to the room early to rest."
So, everyone left the lounge, and no one noticed that there was a figure outside the window of the lounge who had been listening to their conversation.
