Chapter 21: Before the War
As Teresa reached the upper floor, there was a window at the end of the hallway that led to the window of another slightly lower house on the side of the building. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Teresa pointed there and said, "Let's set up a cable here to connect to the opposite side, and if you can't hold it downstairs, you can slide together with the cable to the building on the other side, this is the second escape route, how about it?" Pretty good, right?! (☆ω☆)! After saying that, he looked at Locke with starry eyes.
Locke looked at her, and his heart was suddenly shocked: "So she designed this cable......
In the game world more than a decade later, this place really has such a cable device that connects the windows of the side buildings diagonally downward!
Teresa may have designed this thing for the purpose of escape, but the players in the game used it as an anti-containment device - the people in the hall downstairs attracted the attention of the bandits, and then divided into a small group of people with a large area of arcane damage to swing through the cable to the side house, go downstairs, and launch a surprise attack on the bandits behind them while they were attracted, which was quite effective.
"How is the young master?! (☆ω☆)! Seeing that he didn't speak, Teresa leaned in and asked.
Locke looked at her, reached out and touched her head, and replied with a smile, "That's a good idea!" At least there are a number of tactical options for people who are attacked in the future. ”
Telisa: "?"
Locke: "Anyway, a lot of help! I'll call someone to come up and get it done! ”
Telisa: "Young master, am I powerful?!" ”
Locke: "Hehe, Teresa is the best~"
Telisa: "∩ ∩ hee-hee." ”
After making up his mind, Locke called the bartender who was sitting downstairs in the bar and was lighting gold coins, and told him in detail how to set up the cable, but he didn't expect the other party's eyes to light up after hearing it, and said excitedly: "We have also had thieves here before, when my father was trapped upstairs by them and could not escape, I thought it was over, but fortunately, the garrison in the town arrived to save a life." If there was such an escape device at that time, I would not have been so afraid, so that I could leave this shop to my son in the future! Thank you so much! ”
The more the tavern owner talked, the more excited he became, and Locke raised his eyebrows when he heard him say that he had passed the tavern to his son: no wonder this bartender still didn't look much different after more than ten years, he dared to think that it was his son, and he was also quite skilled in the use of escape devices, probably taught by his father, the bartender in front of him.
"This is our young master's idea~" Teresa reminded beside her, and when Locke turned his head to look at her, the latter winked mischievously at him while sticking out his little tongue.
Bartender: "It's a must, I knew it had to be ......"
Locke: "Ahem, let's see how we get it." ”
The cable device is actually very simple, a three-pronged barb with a wire rope is stuffed into the launch canister, and the kinetic energy of the steam engine is catapulted into the opposite window to hook the window edge, and then fixed here, and the steam catapult device will be placed in the nearest room in the dark compartment.
Steampunk-style black technology is the mainstream technology in this world, and the bartender is quite skilled at using these things.
After handing over the escape (tactical) device to the bartender, Locke took Teresa downstairs to inspect the situation in the hall downstairs - they had dismantled all the tables and chairs, sharpened them and pointed them to form a semi-encirclement around the door and windows, and deep pits were dug under the windows, with sharp logs inserted in them to face the top, as if they were about to fight a tough battle.
"How's it going?" Locke approached Beckman, who was sawing wood, and the latter looked up, straightened up, wiped his sweat, stretched out his hand, and replied with a smile: "Not bad, they seem to be very good at fortifications, and they understand it as soon as they say it." ”
Locke nodded, and Teresa next to him said excitedly: "Beckman, Beckman, the young master said that my idea is very good." ”
"Hehe, that's good."
"Hee-hee."
Looking at their father-daughter conversation, Locke was a little dazed: if he wasn't there, what would they be like in the original history? Also came here to experience a bandit attack, and then Teresa designed an escape device? How did they separate after that? Why is Beckman in a wheelchair, and he seems to have a changed temperament. And one of his calf bones was actually found in the passage leading to the room where the future version of Telisa's boss was located......
There are too many puzzles to solve, and time may tell, but now that it is a concretized world, we can't let those tragedies happen again, otherwise I'll be sorry for the identity of the traverser! ’
"Young Master Locke, what are you thinking?"
The young man who was contemplative raised his head and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and the 'father' behind her was still sawing wood with his head down.
Locke didn't answer immediately, but slowly reached for her long braids that hung around her neck and down to her abdomen.
Teresa was a little panicked and wanted to dodge, but when she found that Locke was just lifting her braids, her face suddenly turned a little red, and she lowered her head slightly and twisted the corners of her skirt with both hands, while peeking upwards with a little expectation.
"Telisa." Locke pondered for a moment before putting down her braids and asked with a smile, "Where's your teddy bear?" ”
"∑ (⊙ Д⊙! I forgot! The girl who found out that she had lost her bear was suddenly a little flustered, but Locke smiled and stretched out her right hand, palm up, and the next second, the still expensive but somewhat dilapidated teddy bear appeared on it, which made Teresa open her mouth in surprise, looked up at him in disbelief, and asked, "Do you know how to do magic, young master?" ”
Locke smiled and handed her the teddy bear and said, "It's magic, don't tell it." ”
Teresa held the bear cub in one hand and grimaced mischievously with the other hand on the side of her forehead: "/(●3<) No problem!" ”
The teddy bear had been left behind when she had taken Locke upstairs in a hurry, and judging by the fineness of the workmanship on it, it looked a bit like something from a nobleman's family.....
Is she really just an ordinary village girl?
Finding that Locke looked at him without speaking, Telisa, who was holding the teddy bear, tilted her head and had question marks on her face.
Locke shook his head, put aside a thought in his mind, and said with a smile, "Let's go see if the escape device upstairs is ready, you designed it." ”
"Hmm."
The time passed quickly, and at ten o'clock in the evening a crowd of screaming people gathered at the door of the tavern - the bandits had finally arrived.
