Lu Chuan held a toothpick in his mouth, and the masked girl followed closely behind, looking like a chicken, looking at them, they were obviously full of food.

Lu Chuan looked at the people around him in a hurry, and those shops were closing their stalls, Lu Chuan was very curious why he felt like he had eaten a meal, and the city felt different, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and most of the shops were closed or on the way to close.

Lu Chuan grabbed a man casually and asked, "Brother, what happened, why are you all in a hurry?"

The man glanced at Lu Chuan and then at the masked girl, although he was curious about the strangely dressed man and the masked Lolita girl next to him, he had more important things to do, so he replied, "The West Empire has begun to invade." ”

After saying that, the man walked away quickly, leaving only Lu Chuan, who was confused, on the way to the forest.

"The city is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. I saw two soldiers placing their spears diagonally on each other to form an X line, blocking Lu Chuan's way.

Lu Chuan nodded and then strode back, anyway, the city has been closed, the forest can't go, and the crossbow can't be sent, instead of grinding his teeth with these wooden soldiers here, it is better to go back to the hotel and sleep peacefully, anyway, the life and death of this city has nothing to do with him, it's a big deal to run away with Lu Ning'er, and suddenly a voice came.

"Hey, can't you just hold on a little longer?"

When Lu Chuan heard the reputation, he found that Adele was biting her lip and looking at herself, Lu Chuan didn't care too much, obviously she was either stopped here or guessed that she would be stopped here, he walked up to Adele, handed the crossbow to Adele and said, "What about the money?"

Adele's lips tightened a little more, then she took out the money bag and a parchment roll and threw it to Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan handed the money bag to Lu Ning'er and then looked at the parchment roll curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Adele bit her lip and said, "This is a loyalty contract, a contract used to determine the relationship between the employer and the servant. ”

Lu Chuan opened the parchment scroll and looked at it, looked left and right, and finally gave up trying to understand the use of this thing, and said directly: "Is this useful?"

Adele looked at Lu Chuan's lips and bit her lips a little more and said: "If the servant refuses or betrays the employer's order, then the employer can tear up this contract and brand the servant as a traitor, and the person who is branded as a traitor will not be able to move an inch in this world." ”

Lu Chuan nodded "oh", then threw the parchment back to Adele and said, "Come on, I don't have the habit of destroying flowers with spicy hands, all I need is to stretch out my hand when I need you, you should leave this kind of thing to others." ”

"Hahaha, it's worthy of the person I fancy, it's really different. The middle-aged man clapped his hands and walked out of the reconnaissance room on the side, just glanced at the masked girl next to him, and then immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan saw the appearance of this middle-aged man, and immediately bowed and said, "City Lord." ”

Lu Ning'er also said in the same way: "Lord City Lord." ”

The middle-aged man smiled even more happily when he saw this scene, he walked up to Lu Chuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, the letter is good, I am very optimistic about you." ”

Lu Chuan looked at the man and said, "May I ask why the city lord came here?"

Originally, Lu Chuan didn't want to bother with this kind of thing, but seeing that this middle-aged man didn't come here by chance, and he didn't come out until he rejected his daughter's contract, then he could only find himself.

The middle-aged man laughed when he heard Lu Chuan's words and said, "Come, come with me." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man started to walk towards the city wall, and Lu Chuan immediately followed Lu Ning'er and Adele, and when he arrived at the city wall, he was dumbfounded as soon as he looked into the distance, only to see that hundreds of meters away were military camps, thousands of large and small, and he couldn't even see the edge at a glance.

The middle-aged man stood up with his hands in his hands and said in a serious tone: "You also saw it, right? They are the army of the West Empire, this time they are camping within the territory of my Lik Empire, and the purpose is already obvious." ”

Lu Chuan asked, "Is there anything I can serve?"

Lu Chuan naturally wouldn't believe that the middle-aged man in front of him brought him over just to see the scenery, if this man had any excessive requirements, it would be a big deal to run away directly with Ning'er, anyway, he didn't have much intersection with this empire.

Hearing Lu Chuan's words, the man looked at him and said, "Okay! I want you to provide detailed drawings of this thing." ”

The middle-aged man took out the crossbow that Lu Chuan gave him from the ring, and he was not too surprised to see the middle-aged man take out the crossbow from the ring Lu Chuan, maybe he was able to accept anything that happened in this world with a calm mind, after all, this world is shocked if there is magic, if you bring this news to the world before Lu Chuan, then you will only be treated as a fool.

"Yes. ”

Lu Chuan opened his mouth and agreed to the middle-aged man's request, which made the surroundings stunned except for Ning Er, who was still in a puzzled daze, the middle-aged man didn't expect this young man to have such a heart, he thought he would make any request, but he didn't expect him to open his mouth and agree, and he didn't say the conditions yet.

Lu Chuan is naturally not as relieved as the middle-aged man thinks, the production process of the crossbow is not simple, it is not easy to say that it is not difficult, if the middle-aged man's crossbow is taken to split and study, it is a matter of minutes to imitate it, and it is better to take this crossbow in exchange for something practical.

Adele didn't react, originally she wanted to snort coldly and say that Lu Chuan didn't know what to do, but she didn't expect him to be willing to provide the blueprint to her father directly, which made Adele not know what to do for a while.

After being stunned for a moment, the middle-aged man laughed heartily and said, "Young man, if you have any requests, just ask, and I will meet you." ”

Lu Chuan arched his hand and said: "The city lord has a good reputation, and he is just doing his best, and if he has nothing to do, he will retire first." ”

After speaking, Lu Chuan started to leave, Lu Ning'er followed, and the middle-aged man didn't persuade him much, he just watched Lu Chuan leave his sight.

After scanning the surroundings with his divine sense to make sure that he had left, the middle-aged man's smile also disappeared, and he stood with his hands in his hands and said with a calm and relaxed look: "Daughter, what do you think of him?"

The girl was stunned by her father's words, and then two blushes appeared on her face and said, "What...... He's a dead profiteer, and he sold me this crossbow for a thousand copper coins and asked me for ...... I...... In short, he is a dead profiteer.

The middle-aged man laughed again when he heard his daughter's complaint and said: "Daughter, he is definitely not as simple as you think, you must know the price of this crossbow and don't think that person is a cheat." ”

Adele looked at her father curiously, her eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement, she didn't know why her father was so optimistic about Lu Chuan, and even handed over the city lord's order to Lu Chuan, that crossbow was just an easy-to-use and powerful weapon in Adele's opinion.

The middle-aged man turned his head to look at his daughter and said, "Let me tell you this, if the West Empire masters the technology of this weapon, then it will be easy for him to annex us, but if we get this weapon, it is not impossible to defend against the invasion of the West Empire." ”

"This kind of weapon is hard to come by, and even other countries are willing to steal the head for the technology of this weapon. ”

Immediately Adele understood what his father meant, this weapon is easy to use, even an ordinary person can exert his strength at the peak of forging his body, so if an ordinary army is equipped with this weapon, he can exert three to four times the power, how terrifying is this?

Adele was completely stupid at this time, she understood how much advantage she had, and she also knew that her value was nothing compared to this crossbow, which made Adele very sad, after all, she was a living middle-level knight who couldn't compare to a weapon, this was the first time she had this feeling, she used to be envious wherever she went, and countless young talents wanted to get a trace of their favor.

Seeing that his daughter had not spoken for a long time, the middle-aged man patted her arm and said, "Father doesn't ask you for anything, just remind you, if you like it, go after it, in case it's too late, wait for the little spark of this dynamite barrel to turn into a light that shines on the entire sky." ”

"If you want to be embraced, you have to wait for him to explode when he is a little Mars, and when he arrives at the powder keg and explodes, it is not just you who discover, but thousands of moths who have discovered it together, and there is no shortage of those who are more beautiful than your wings, nor are they brave than you, or even faster than you. ”

"Of course, if you don't like the fire, that's fine, but if you like it and miss it, then you can only leave sadly. ”
