"What happened today?" Barrett, who had just come out of the bathhouse, looked at the members of the City Lord's Guard gathered in front of him, and immediately slapped his palm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
I have to say that Barrett has established enough prestige among the city lord's guard during this time, and just his words immediately made those people disperse immediately. Then you look at me, I look at you, and they elected a representative they thought was more familiar with Barrett.
The baby-faced teenager approached Barrett: "Mr. Barrett, there were several homicides last night in the lower part of Poitou. Five bodies were found in the roadway this morning, and according to preliminary information, they were dead for about 6-7 hours. β
"Found a body in an alley? Do you already know who they are and what they are doing? Barrett, who heard this, immediately frowned.
Even in the real society that has been informatized, the unlucky people who accidentally die in the streets and alleys of the metropolis have never disappeared. Not to mention that the overall environmental level of the game is not as good as that of 18th-century London, which at that time needed a large number of pallet trucks to transport corpses outside the city every day.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for corpses to appear lying on the side of the road in the city of Poitou. Even if new corpses don't appear every day, they should be there every two or three days. Of course, the causes of death of these corpses are also strange, some died suddenly due to overwork, some suddenly fell ill and had no time to treat their breath, some were beaten and stabbed with sticks, and some were drunk in winter and froze to death......
But no matter what the cause of death was, Boreham would not let these bodies remain in the city. This will not only cause fear of being named, but more importantly, it may become the source of the plague. While the cleaners are responsible for the day-to-day sanitation of the streets, they need to collect the bodies of these accidental deaths and transport them to a special location for storage.
The bodies will be kept in an official morgue for three days, recorded and awaiting claim. If the bodies haven't been taken away after 3 days, the magical incinerator that connects to the fire elemental plane behind the morgue that awaits them is guaranteed to pass away without leaving a trace.
Of course, for those cleaners, the work of picking up the corpses is tedious and laborious, but each corpse represents a special transportation fee. This money is allocated from the public expenditure of Boreham, and as for the custody fees paid by the families who claimed the body? That's not enough money to hire someone to take care of the morgue! All of this is a great benefit that the Boreham family has given to the inhabitants of the territory.
As mentioned earlier, corpses are a valuable resource in the eyes of spellcasters or cultists of certain special paths. Therefore, on the battlefield, both sides must carry out special treatment of the dead bodies. And the relatively fresh and intact corpses in the morgue are even more good goods in the minds of those who can't see the light. Therefore, the armed forces guarding this place will never be too low, otherwise it will not be able to deter some potentially dangerous elements at all.
This has become a complete and cohesive process, and there is no need for outsiders to be distracted by the day-to-day operation. But this time, so many people died overnight, no wonder it became big news.
"It's a dagger! All of them are fatal with a dagger. According to the coroner, it was a throat cut from the left side. The baby-faced boy immediately added.

Someone once said that weapons are an extension of the human body, but there are probably not many people who can really wield the blade in their hands like an arm! It takes a long period of hard practice, sincerity about the weapons used, enough talent and a little luck.
At least Georgie hasn't done this in the past, and it should be said that Georgie didn't even touch the edge of this the day before. Unlike those who focus on the first blade, the knight is all about the war.
Even at that time before the crossing, the martial arts of the Celestial Empire were divided into battlefield martial arts and Jianghu martial arts. Battlefield martial arts are mostly open and close, focusing on killing the enemy first, and at the same time, it is difficult to be flexible because of the use of heavy weapons and armor. This is where the cooperation between the teams becomes extremely important, and in addition to the 90-degree attack range directly in front of you, you must entrust your back and surroundings to your comrades.
The martial arts of the rivers and lakes are mostly dexterous and agile types, and there are many places that pay attention to the changes of virtual and real, and there are many places to move and jump. At the same time, the content of saving life and escaping is quite a lot. You must know that for those people, staying in the green mountains is not worrying about no firewood, and it doesn't matter if they lose a game, as long as they are alive, they will have a chance to get back to the field.
This is the change that occurs in order for people to adapt to the environment, and the same battle has many more restrictions on the battlefield than the general vendetta restrictions. For example, if there are people in the front and back, there will be people on the left and right, and if you want to move eighty percent, you will be blocked. And if you jump, you're sure to be targeted by others. And the false trick is not even effective at all in this kind of flesh-and-blood place. At this time, who cares if you are a false move, of course, you are slashing up with a shield.
The same battlefield martial arts also has obvious shortcomings in the rivers and lakes, and this kind of fighting style is very easy to lead to both defeats. And if there are no throwing weapons, they will often fall into the embarrassing situation of not being able to catch up with the win, and they will not be able to run away if they lose. There is also a high requirement for equipment in battlefield martial arts - especially for armor. In the ancient times of the Celestial Empire, private possession of armor was a serious crime, enough to rob the family and exterminate the clan, and its seriousness was still above the possession of a strong bow and crossbow. This makes it difficult for battlefield martial arts to be learned above the rivers and lakes.
And this world, at least in the Western Continent, is still more similar to the battlefield martial arts. On the one hand, it should be heavy weapons, and items such as armor are not strictly controlled here. On the other hand, it should also be that adventurers who are similar to the former Jianghu Ranger here will also go to the battlefield when necessary. As for the mercenaries, the very existence of those people should be necessary for the development of the war.
Another point is that fundamentally speaking, the upper limit of manpower in this world is higher than that of the world before the crossing, and the gap in individual strength between people is also greater. Similarly, the time spent on the details of the moves is spent on exercising strength and speed, and the effect in the early stage is more obvious. The so-called one force down ten will still be fast, but it is not just a matter of saying it. Even if you practice your moves well, you can't block the power of someone's random blow, and you can't keep up with the speed of any random blow, so what's the point! Of course, after the speed and strength have reached the bottleneck and are difficult to improve, there will still be people who will turn the goal to the skill.
Now as a knight squire, Georgie is of course following the way of a dignified battlefield battle formation. The weapons and blades he learned ranged from spears and swords for horse warfare to long swords and javelins for infantry combat, as well as bows and crossbows for projectiles and shields for defense. It can be said that as long as it is a commonly used military weapon, it is all-encompassing. This is to be able to cope with all the unexpected situations as much as possible on the unpredictable battlefield. So in fact, the time that Georgie can allocate to each weapon is not much, that is, the most commonly used long sword is more.
Originally, this kind of martial arts, which are mostly open and closed, cannot be called delicate, and the cultivation time cannot be called long. Qiao Ji wants to swing the long sword in his hand like an arm, and the sword heart is not something that can be done at a young age. However, today, under the synergistic reinforcement of Ziwei's fate and order's blessing, Qiao Ji seems to have resonated with the long sword in his hand.
It's a feeling that is difficult to put into words to express the mystical and mysterious. If I had to say it, it was as if when Georgie gripped the long sword, the sword body resonated with Georgie's heartbeat, and the longsword itself seemed to have lost weight to Georgie.
Georgie, who was about to try his hand, shook his sword and swung it, only to realize that the previous feelings were not his own delusions. In the process of wielding, not only did the longsword not feel the weight, but even the inertia that should have been affected by the mass could not be felt. This can really be said to be a big heart, and the sword heart is combined.
Don't think that the difference between weight and quality is not big, in fact, as long as you listen carefully, junior high school graduates know the difference between the two. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. It is a property of the object itself, and it does not change with the change of the shape, state, and geographical location of the object. Weight is due to the gravitational force applied to the object, and it changes with the change of geographical location.
This shows how significant these two changes are, at least in terms of weapons, to Georgie. Now he could use that long sword as a bayonet. If it weren't for the lack of suitable equipment at hand, Qiao Ji would have to come here to take a section of the Wudang Dust Sword. Wudang Dust Sword, also known as the Eight Immortals Pure Yang Sword, holds a sword in one hand and a dust in the other, with a dragon swimming body, with the posture of eight immortals drunk and playing peonies. It is used for cultivating Dan enlightenment, health and self-defense, and the boxing posture is changing in reality, elegant and beautiful, and has a sense of being out of the world.
But in fact, in the past, this was also a martial arts. The dust whisk is actually a hammer, which can also be used as a shield to block enemies. The swordsmanship of the Celestial Dynasty that Qiao Ji has practiced pays attention to the thirteen styles of pumping, belting, lifting, gridding, hitting, stabbing, pointing, collapsing, stirring, pressing, splitting, intercepting, and washing. It's not about swinging a sword and going head-to-head with others. However, this is only the kind that Qiao Ji practiced, and not all Celestial Dynasty swordsmanship is based on this.
It's a pity that when you come to this world, the martial arts of the Celestial Empire that you have learned are almost to the point of being useless. Only the I Ching Purifying Sutra has miraculous effects in relieving fatigue, relieving ** pressure, preventing dark injuries, etc., so that Qiao Ji's heart is not so lost. Sometimes Qiao Ji can't help but ask himself again: "Why can others practice those Celestial Empire Kung Fu and slaughter gods and saints after crossing into the other world." But when it comes to himself, it is either out of place and out of place, or there are similar or even better alternatives to the hand-to-hand combat techniques in this world. There's no sense of superiority at all! β
After looking back and forth and seeing that there was no one else in the training ground, Georgie began to try to practice the basic movements of the thirteen styles with this Georgie. I found that it was easier to use than the Chinese-style saber I bought before I crossed. Seeing that Qiao Ji was happy to hunt his heart, he couldn't stop until he had practiced the whole set of solo routines for moving to the sword.
Perhaps this change gave Qiao Ji some hint, and in a flash of inspiration, he began to mumble to himself: "Maybe most of the techniques of the Celestial Empire martial arts I have learned in the past on the battlefield are useless. But if you go out on a trip, you may be able to use it as a surprise winning weight on some occasions. And I heard that there are some schools of art that are good at technical martial arts in a country to the south, so they seem to be called duelists! If you have the opportunity, you have to see and see, after all, the stone of the mountain can attack the jade. β
After doing all this, Georgie put the long sword in his hand back on the weapon rack. Then he took out a spear used for horse warfare and held it in his hand, and sure enough, the spear also had a similar feeling to the long sword, but it was not as strong as the long sword. But Georgie didn't dance with a spear this time. One is because although Georgie had seen several gun scores before the crossing, he had not practiced it. There really wasn't such a big venue, and if it was to practice in a large public like a park square, Georgie was afraid of losing face at that time. After all, the first time I practiced marksmanship, at that time, Li Desheng's level was definitely very humiliating. In addition, if you practice swords, there are at least a lot of old men and old ladies in the park to share some of the pressure. But holding a big gun is too eye-catching, in short, Li Desheng can't be so calm.
At the same time, the spear in Georgie's hand was not a cavalry spear used by knights to charge. Mounted guns are generally equipped with a sharp metal cone on a long pole head of about two meters, a hardwood gun body with a handguard in the grip position, a wooden cone with a counterweight at the rear, and a butt hole in the saddle to absorb the huge reaction force of the charge. In actual combat, the user drives the mount to charge at the enemy, and when approaching, points the mounted gun horizontally or nearly horizontally at the enemy, and uses the charge bonus to assassinate the enemy. Due to the huge impact force, the gun body is deliberately made of materials that have a certain hardness and are easy to break in order to protect the user, because too strong a riding gun will cause unnecessary burden on the user's grip and even the body. Therefore, the user will abandon the rifle as soon as it breaks and replace it with another weapon prepared in advance to continue the fight. It can be said that the cavalry gun was basically used as a disposable weapon, because after a single impact, the cavalry gun almost inevitably broke and could not be used again.
