Chapter Eighty-Three: Bridgehead Garrison Fairman

"Don't worry, I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."

After speaking, Lawson turned his head to look at the situation outside the car, turned to Veronica and said, "The next one is our carriage." Our carriage, though lightly decorated, was made of excellent materials, and if the soldiers inspecting it were to know the goods, they would have been very polite to us. When the time comes, you act as a noble lady, put on a high shelf, and try not to make a sound. As long as we can keep them at bay, our weapons might be able to get through. ”

Seeing that Rosen just didn't say anything, Veronica could only suppress the doubts in her heart, she fixed her mind and said, "Pretending to be a nobleman? No need to pretend, 150 years ago, I was the countess of the Parasen Empire. ”

Lawson was stunned for a moment, and took a serious look at Veronica, this mysterious girl seemed to have a lot of experience in the past.

Veronica saw the meaning in Rosen's gaze and smiled, "If you lived for more than 300 years, you would have experienced a lot of things, wouldn't you?" ”

"That's true." Rosen nodded in agreement, and he didn't delve into it anymore, and continued: "Since you used to be an earl, it couldn't be better. As for me, I am your butler, and I am responsible for communicating with outsiders on your behalf. ”

"All right, my butler."

After discussing it, the group waited patiently.

After about 10 minutes, it was Rosen's turn to be in the carriage, and the warrior in the fish-scale steel armor from before came over, gently patted the glass window of the carriage, and said, "Sir, please cooperate with us to check to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

The commander guarding the bridge came to inspect in person, and his tone was also very polite, this is the treatment that the previous carriages did not have, and it seems that the other party is very knowledgeable.

Rosen was reassured and said secretly: "It's done." ’

He opened the window next to him and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, how do you need our cooperation, just say it." ”

The warrior nodded, and beckoned to a person dressed as a clerk beside him: "Come here, help this ......"

Rosen immediately said, "Madam, Madame Margaret, our lady was born into a family. You know, it's a mess in the south, and Madame has come to Nilogaard City to relax. ”

As he spoke, Lawson moved away slightly, revealing Veronica's side face slightly.

Veronica's appearance is radiant, and when she is silent, her temperament is accompanied by arrogance. As long as you see her appearance, you will never doubt her aristocratic origin.

The warrior was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously clenched his fists and hammered his chest, and Veronica gave a formal military salute: "Oh~ Dear Lady Margaret, it's an honor to meet you." ”

Veronica nodded slightly, and responded coldly: "Hmm~ It seems that the warriors of Nilogaard are very polite." ”

In a simple sentence, the arrogant, reserved, and high-ranking person is full of momentum, and at first glance he is the kind of great aristocratic origin that has been inherited for thousands of years.

The steel-armored warrior looked uneasy, and he didn't dare to look directly at Veronica, not to speak, but his back, which was still straight just now, actually bent down subconsciously.

Although legally speaking, the Steelclad Warriors are not loyal to Veronica, but in this world, the concept of hierarchy has penetrated to the deepest part of the bones, and the nobles have a natural suppression of the commoners.

As soon as Rosen saw this, he immediately said, "Warrior, my wife doesn't like to wait, please complete the inspection as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, okay."

The steel-armored warrior nodded again and again, then turned around and yelled at the clerk behind him: "Puka, why are you stunned, come over and calculate the taxes that need to be paid to enter the city for Madame!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming." The clerk trotted over and peeked into the window, but he was dazzled by Veronica's appearance, and he was stunned on the spot.

"You!" Enraged, the Steel-Armored Warrior lifted his foot and kicked the clerk hard in the ass.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, beautiful lady, I was rude." The clerk nodded his head quickly, walked around the carriage again, and then began to count on the papyrus, and after about two minutes, he smiled and said, "Madam, you should pay 760 silver rontes." ”

This is 50 Ronte more expensive than Rosen's calculation, and when Anne heard this, her face showed anger, and she was about to have a seizure, but Rosen secretly reached out and suppressed it.

Rosen smiled: "760 Lunte is it." Here's 800 Ronte, and the excess is for you. ”

The clerk's face immediately burst into laughter: "Hey~ Okay! Thank you, ma'am. ”

The steel-armored warrior on the side was immediately envious, and a trace of obvious greed flashed in his eyes as he looked at the carriage. Rosen had been closely observing his reaction, and when he saw his attitude, he smiled in his heart: 'Yes, yes, the fish has taken the bait.' ’

Before, he really thought it was useless to see the seriousness of these soldiers inspecting the carriage, but now it seems that the world is as black as a crow.

The steel-armored warrior took a few steps closer to the carriage, saluted respectfully again, and then said, "Madam, there is a rule in the town hall that you must not bring weapons into the city. Although you don't have a rider escort, we still have to check what you are carrying in the carriage for safety. ”

Rosen's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "No, all the personal belongings in the carriage are Mrs., how can you check them at will?" ”

The steel-armored warrior spread his hands helplessly: "The decree just issued by the city hall, and we can't do anything about it." Some time ago, because of the lax investigation, a group of witch hunters sneaked into the city, and as a result, several magicians died in the city. ”

"Oh, I see." With a 'I understand you' expression on his face, Lawson paused, and then he spoke: "Sir, I can tell you clearly that there are absolutely no weapons such as swords, crossbows and guns in the car, but a few weapon-like handicrafts, why don't you take a look?" ”

The steel-armored warrior was stunned: "Crafts? Then show it to me, shall you? ”

Rosen handed the spiral troll over: "This is a war hammer, it looks a little weird, but Madame just likes this kind of weird-looking thing, and she says it's artistic." ”

Naturally, the Steel-Armored Warrior had never seen the Spiral Troll, he turned the weapon over and over and looked at it carefully, and he didn't see the reason, and when he heard Lawson say it was a war hammer, he had a preconceived idea that this thing was a war hammer, but he didn't know why, he always felt that something was wrong.

"What a craft, huh?" He really didn't believe it.

Rosen was also a little apprehensive in his heart, but his face was still impassive: "Of course it is." Otherwise, who would have made such a flashy thing out of expensive wrought iron? ”

"Hmm~ That's what you said, the appearance is indeed exaggerated, but the weight is too light, the inside is still hollow, and it's all superficial."

Rosen echoed again and again: "Yes, yes, it is not only flashy in appearance, but also has a bluffing name, called Thor's hammer." ”

The Steel-Armored Warrior sneered, "Thor's Hammer? Huh~ Those artists just love to talk big, if this thing is Thor's hammer, then my steel sword is not the creator's sword? ”

Lawson smiled: "Crafts, just take them to see, who really smashes people with this thing."

"Hmm~~" The steel-armored warrior's expression was solemn, and he became serious: "However, although it is a handicraft, it is still a war hammer, and it is also iron, and it can be used as a weapon when it is urgent......"

As soon as he saw his appearance, Lawson knew what he wanted to do, and as soon as he flipped his hand, a bulging money bag appeared: "Sir, this matter is indeed our fault, but our lady is indeed very fond of these handicrafts." Why don't you make it easier? ”

As soon as he saw the money bag, the steel-armored warrior's heart was shocked, he estimated the size of the money bag, and knew that it contained at least 100 silver runtes, which was worth most of his income for half a year!

He quickly looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to Rosen's small movements in the carriage, and the desire in his heart suddenly swelled rapidly like a balloon, swallowing his reason at once.

Don't look at him as the commander of the sentry, and he is still wearing expensive fish-scale steel armor, but he is very, very short of money. He is almost 30 years old, but he still lives in the slums east of Nilogaard City, and he has no money to ask for a wife, and even the good steel sword in his hand is on credit. If he hadn't been promoted to Commander last month, the shrewd dwarf at the blacksmith would never have agreed to take credit.

However, the sentry commander can only receive 15 silver rontes from the town hall in a month, which is not enough to spend!

Yes, the military regulations of Nilogaard City are very strict, and the eyes of those magicians are very poisonous, but now that the magician is not here, he is really short of money.

It's just a handicraft, and since the other party is willing to give money, it's not a big deal for me to let it go...... It would be a pity not to get such a large sum of money! ’

After a quick thought, he handed the spiral troll back to Lawson in the carriage.

Lawson took the weapon and shoved the money bag again.

The Steel-Armored Warrior reached for the money bag, but somehow, his hand shook and the money bag actually fell.

When Rosen looked up, he saw that the steel-armored warrior's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of panic in his expression, and his heart moved: "It seems that Nilogaard's decree is indeed very strict, and this guy should also be the first time to take bribes, and his hands are very raw." ”

He quietly picked up the money bag and handed it over again.

The Steel-Armored Warrior reached out to grab it, but Lawson dodged him.

"You ......" the steel-armored warrior was stunned.

Rosen shook his head slightly, avoided the soldier's hand, stuffed the money bag into the opponent's sleeve, and then patted it, smoothed the folds on the sleeve, and then reprimanded loudly: "Warrior, be careful, don't break Madame's things!" ”

The steel-armored warrior only felt his heart pounding, he naturally knew that Rosen was helping him cover up, so he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't hold my hand steady." ”

After speaking, he smiled and said, "I can let you bring these crafts into the city, but I have to look at all the crafts once." ”

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Of course. ”

He handed over Anne's sky-destroying and earth-destroying muskets, both of which, of course, were unloaded.

The Steel-Armored Warrior had calmed down, he glanced at it casually, played with it in his hand again, and finally pointed to the trigger and said, "What is this thing for?" ”

Rosen smiled: "These are all handicrafts, and the handicrafts naturally have to be hung on the wall." This round hole is naturally used to thread the rope, and the buckle you can touch now is a slippery buckle for fixing the knot. ”

"Warhammer on the wall? Madame's taste is truly unique. ”

He slapped the Sky Destroying and Earth Destroying Musket again, and said loudly to a few soldiers around him, "Look, is there something wrong with this thing?" ”

The soldiers could understand that this strange thing was a decorative handicraft, and since the commander intended to let it go, how could they refute the commander's face. When the steel-armored warriors asked, they all shook their heads again and again.

The steel-armored warrior handed the two muskets back to Rosen: "Very good, I've checked it, it's all non-threatening crafts, give it back to you." ”

Rosen smiled, "Thank you very much...... Warrior, can I know your name? ”

"My name?" The steel-armored warrior was stunned.

"My wife likes to collect handicrafts very much, and she may bring more handicrafts in the future, but you know, the current situation is very inconvenient, and if you can help a little, we will naturally pay you." Rosen's voice was low and low, guaranteed to be heard only by the Steelclad Warriors.

He did this because he wanted to cultivate some eyeliner in Nilogaard City, firstly, to facilitate his future access to the bridge, and on the other hand, to know some important information about Nilogaard Academy as soon as possible. Of course, whether it succeeds or not depends on the wishes of the other party.

The steel-armored warrior gently touched the wallet in his sleeve, and his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately said: "My name is Fairman, the captain of the bridgehead garrison, if the lady wants to help with anything, just look for me." ”

"Fellman, I remember, thank you very much," Rosen said earnestly.

"Well, I'm going to keep checking it out."

The steel-armored warrior Fellman pretended to circle around the carriage, occasionally patting a few suitcases behind the carriage with his hand, and then looking at it. From a distance, it looks like you're checking your suitcase.

After going around in a circle, he took a step back, waved his hand, and shouted, "This carriage is fine, you can enter the city." ”

The soldiers at the checkpoint removed the wooden fence, and John, the coachman, whipped his whip, and the carriage creaked onto the bridge.

After crossing the bridge, Rosen let out a long sigh: "I'm finally in the city." ”

Anne was not very happy: "I came in, but it cost 1,000 silver at once." We can't afford to spend our money. ”

Lawson didn't care, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Yinlangte, I will come again after spending it, don't worry." ”

Veronica was still thinking about the bomb turning the corner before, and seeing that she had successfully broken through, she immediately said, "Can you explain it now?" ”

"Of course."

He took out a piece of parchment, drew a ball on it, wrote a few lines of strange formulas, and then laughed: "The mystery lies in the rotation of the iron ball." ”

In fact, this is the Bernoulli effect, the banana ball in football, the spinning ball in table tennis, the reason why it can get out of the extraordinary arc, is also the same principle.

Veronica glanced at the formula, her eyes became dazed, and after a long time, she shook her head: "I don't understand." ”

Little Alice also looked at it, and her eyes were stupid: "Brother, what does this mean?" ”

Anne was also blinded and completely unaware.

Rosen laughed and began to explain the aerodynamics carefully.

......................

Just as Lawson was explaining the mystery of the bomb's air turn, outside the walls of the Nilogaard Academy, more than a dozen magicians gathered around the explosion site, observing the traces of the explosion and discussing frequently, trying to find the perpetrator of all this.
