Chapter 46: Inexplicable Persistence
Ditohardt rushed into Desmond with a stack of papers. This was the first task given to him by Sinlos, and he naturally put his mind to it. As soon as he received the task, he activated his network overnight. After screening overnight, he finally got the stack of information in his hands now.
Ditohart stopped outside Sinloth's study and took a few deep breaths to calm his excitement. Then there was a soft knock on the door, and almost in the next second, the voice of Sinloth came from outside the door.
"Come in."
With a smile, Ditohart pushed open the door to the lord's room. It was still the desk full of messy texts, and when he saw himself walk in, the sharp-eyed intelligence leader saw that the lord was secretly stuffing a piece of paper with something drawn into the stack of papers.
It was only for a moment, but it was enough for Ditohart to see clearly. The pattern of those strange lines is incomprehensible to Ditohardt. But the words that flashed by were clearly the square words used by Xinloth to record a few days ago.
Xinluo Si looked at the intelligence leader with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You seem to be very happy, let me guess, what good news have you brought me?" ”
"Your Excellency, these are the things you asked for. Because the time is a bit tight, there is only so much for the time being. Ditohardt lowered his eyes and handed over a copy of the text in his arms with both hands. Sinloth glanced at it casually and found that there were indeed many gaps. But the time given to him by Xinluo was not sufficient, and it was already commendable to be able to do such a thing in just three days.
Sinroth's handwritten letter had already been sent that day, and it should not have reached the baron's hands yet, but Ditohart couldn't wait to start working under Sinroth. Sinloth didn't care about this, and although Ditohart was quite well received under that baron, he was definitely not a first-class confidant.
As Ditohart said. That baron would never fall out with a fiefdom nobleman for the sake of a subordinate. Since he was so anxious to show his feelings, it was up to him.
"Very good, keep up the good work." Sinloth casually placed the stack on the table and rubbed his eyes. It was indeed information he desperately needed to know, but he had more important things to do now.
"I've got something to do here, so if I don't have anything to do, let's go down."
"Yes, sir."
Ditohardt bowed deeply and walked out of Sinloth's study. Wisely, he naturally did not ask the doubts in his heart lightly, but chose to bury them in the bottom of his heart. Obviously, a few days ago, he was in a hurry, and he looked impatient. But now that the information is clearly in hand, I don't want to read it.
What is drawn on that piece of paper?
The lord didn't care about his men's thoughts, and when he saw Ditohart close the door and go out, he pulled out the blueprint hidden in the pile of papers.
"54213, can you help me see, is there anything wrong with this thing?"
"The magic circle is incorrectly depicted, the [Silence] and [Purification] circles have one-third of the effect conflict, it would be better to replace it with [Acceleration] After running it for 17 times, the cannon chamber will not be able to continue to operate normally, there is a danger of exploding the chamber at any time and the energy demand is too huge, and the energy gathering array depicted by the contractor will not be able to extract enough energy from the atmosphere."
"Ahh I obviously made it exactly according to the pile of things that Prescia passed to me, and I can't invent it, so can't I copy it? Or is she lying to me? ”
"Normal differences between worlds, constants need to be revised."
"It's super troublesome to tear it all down and redo it." Sinloth got up and pushed the wall behind him, revealing the countless blueprints inside. These are the main reasons why Xinlos has always been idle during this time.
A noble castle like Desmond naturally won't be without secret rooms and mezzanine floors like this.
"Alas, take precautions, prepare for a rainy day"
"Dad, hurry up, hurry up~"
"Well, Ellie, run slower, wait for me."
"Dad is so slow, Lijie, let's not wait for him, go quickly~"
"Ah Ellie, let's wait for Lord Sinloth."
Elle wore a straw hat and dragged her friends to run in front. And Sinlos, who was panting with everything on his back, followed behind the two of them.
"My lord, just let me get these."
Bismal couldn't stand it anymore, Sinloth's body was too useless. Just brought a little fishing gear and ran for a while, and he was already wheezing.
"No, you don't understand, this is a man's romance! My daughter's things must be guarded by me! ”
The loyal knight looked at the righteousness on the lord's face, and really didn't know how to respond. I had to say vaguely: "What you said is"
Thanks to the tax collector he had never met, Sinloth's taxes this year were all gone. While making him extremely distressed, it also brought him a small vacation.
It's a pity that the autumn harvest can't be obtained as a large part of the territory's financial revenue, but if you can have the opportunity to play with Ellie because of this, it is not unacceptable.
It's just that Bismal is too annoying, since the last time Sinloth had an accident. The knights had made a private agreement that no matter how heavy the work, it would be their turn to have one person to be close to Sinloth's side.
And today, it happens to be Bismalco.
Coupled with Lijie, who was dragged by Aili, the parent-child time of the father and daughter duo who were originally good. It turned into a group activity for four people, wasting the anticipatory mood of Xinluos.
Bismal suddenly stopped, his deep gaze revealing a hint of confusion: "Strange what is going on with this feeling?" ”
"What's wrong, Bismal Keqing?"
"No, sir. Nothing, probably my delusion. I seem to have felt the breath of the demon race just now, Desmond is 108,000 miles away from the demon forest, how could the demon appear here, it should be my heart. ”
"Demons?" Sinloth repeated Bismarck's words, "Are you sure? ”
Bismal shook his head, a rare flicker of doubt in his determined gaze: "It's hard to say this feeling, it's plausible. It seems to be a demon, but if you feel it carefully, it's not."
"So, let's fish here today, let's not go deeper into the forest."
"Ellie, give me your hand, and I'll teach you how to fish."
"Okay, Dad~"
Sinloth gently grabbed her daughter's fleshy little hand and placed the slender fishing rod in her hand. The rod was deliberately selected by Sinloste. Even a little girl like Ellie can be easily manipulated.
"Here, do this first, relax your fingers."
Sinlos pressed the tail of the stem against the center of Ellie's palm, and with a slight force in his big hand, Ellie obediently grasped the handle with her middle, ring and little fingers.
"And then it goes"
The father pressed Ellie's thumb and gently pressed it on the handle of the rod: "Wait a minute, you have to stretch your index finger forward, so that you can fish." ”
Ellie was surprised and asked, "Huh?" It's not just a matter of grabbing it. ”
I saw my daughter's wide-eyed eyes and a look of surprise. A certain Lolita was instantly sprouted blood, he rubbed Aili's little head, and said with a doting smile: "Don't underestimate fishing, this is also a test of skill." Now, throw the bait into the river and we're going to get started. ”
"Uh-huh~"
In fact, there are many ways to hold a fishing rod, but they are not limited to this. However, this method requires the use of a rod that is light in weight, and the rod mainly relies on the force of the wrist, with fast speed and random movements, which is the method of holding the rod for fishing small fish. At the same time, it is also the most suitable for a lively and active child like Ellie.
Compared to Sinloth, Bismal can teach his daughter in a very different way. Then again, is it really a knight?
"Lijie, close your eyes and get rid of distractions."
"Yes, Father."
"Give up your control over your body and pour your mind into the bait."
"Yes, Father."
"How does it feel?"
"The waves are flowing, and there are dark shadows swimming around, so I'm scared"
"Very good, you have to master the essence of fishing, steady, keep your mind fluctuating, don't panic."
"Hmm"
"And now?"
"Oh, the fish is biting me"
Seeing the hint of pain on his daughter's face, Bismal exclaimed, "If you can't endure this pain, you can't become a real knight." Hold back, Lijie is now, hit the fish with your mind! ”
"Drink!"
Following her father's instructions, Lijie decisively used her mind to collide with the swimming fish in the water. Naturally, the will of the fish is not comparable to the will specially trained by Lijie, and after a while, a big fish floats to the surface with its belly turned upside down.
Enough of you, bastard! It's not fishing at all! What is it to stun a fish with your will!
With a flick of the fishing rod, Bismal was able to control it so well that he dragged the big fish ashore with just the line. Seeing the big fish, Bismal's stern face also showed a rare smile: "Very well done, Lijie." It was a perfect blow, swift and decisive, and I couldn't have done better. ”
Hearing her father's praise, Lijie's originally slightly pale face was immediately replaced by a faint flush, and she stammered when she spoke: "Bibi, my father is even more powerful or something."
Bismal looked at her daughter's shy and cute appearance, smiled, and touched her daughter's head.
Here's a father-daughter relationship, but the big fish isn't ready to sit still. Although it was dragged ashore, it was not prepared to sit still. It writhed as hard as it could, jumping and jumping in an attempt to get back into the water.
Ten meters
Five meters
Three meters
Naturally, Sinlos couldn't let it get his wish, so he stomped on its tail and lifted it upside down.
"Hmm, it's heavy."
[Cloud Spotted Snake Head: A ferocious fish that never lets its prey escape, and even small birds and other animals will prey on it. 】
"Ahh
Just as Xinlos was leisurely looking at the attributes of this fish, something happened to Ellie's side. Ellie's fishing rod seems to have been hooked, but unlike Lijie's ease, Ellie is obviously annoying. Despite all his strength, his petite body was still helplessly dragged towards the water.
"Ellie!"
Seeing that this was not good, Cynroth hurriedly dropped the cloud-spotted snake head and ran towards Ellie. He grabbed his daughter's waist and held her in his arms. But Sinlos obviously underestimated the strength of the fish, and even if the two of them used their strength together, they still couldn't match the strange power of the fish.
"Damn, this fish has a lot of strength. This won't work, Ellie, hurry up and let go, then the rod won't be able to hold it up. ”
"Hmm." Ellie pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
Cynroth gritted his teeth, exerted his strength to eat, and finally resisted the drag, and one man and one fish stalemate.
"Ellie, let go!"
"Dad, just wait a little longer, just wait a little longer"
