"I need gold, I need silver. The Lock Dragon Pass has closed the normal trade route between our two clans, and I have always wanted to expand the scale of trade, so I chose you. ”

Elizabeth pondered the correctness of these words and hesitated to ask, "This is your purpose?" ”

Tianhao smiled contemptuously and sneered at each other: "What do you have that I am up to?" Your family is a pile of garbage in my opinion, and if you look at yourself, what can appeal to me? To be honest, you're not pretty, you're not in good shape, you look like a vulgar country girl, and I'm ...... is a noble lord. ”

There is an element of boasting, and showing off is even more, mainly to get the attention of the other party.

After experiencing the threat of death, Elizabeth's mental thinking is very different from that of her peers: "What can I get? ”

"I'll help you take out all the contenders and make you the real Countess of Elpsor. You can also get a part of the proceeds from this business, 10 percent, no more. Tianhao said meaningfully.

The girl thought for a long time, and nodded seriously like an adult: "Deal." ”

……

Tianhao moved his daily office from Rock City to a fishing village.

In the north of the continent, whites are the devil in the eyes of all barbarians. There are many people in Rock City, and there is a high possibility of leaks. There are not a few people in the fishing village, but the range of activities has shrunk exponentially. Tianhao ordered several warehouses to be vacated for the crew of the "Obsidian", and arranged separate rooms for Bonnard and Elizabeth, and the entire area was under the responsibility of the lord's guard, which was divided into two strict cordons, inner and outer.

Including the broken teeth, Tianhao temporarily sent a group of people to the fishing village, where they were taught by themselves, and white sailors participated in the guidance and carried out high-intensity English learning.

He can now be sure that the world has not deviated from the general framework that "Old Mama" said. The white people who occupied the southern part of the continent had eliminated the language barrier of the civilized era, and all kingdoms and the Holy See used English.

According to Elizabeth and Bonnard, there are parts of the clergy within the Holy See who refuse to use English and communicate in a script called the "language of God." Elizabeth had learned some fur from her governess in her early years, and Tianhao asked her to write a few letters of the divine language on paper...... Immediately afterward, he smiled faintly.

The so-called word of God is actually Latin.

All dormants are systematically trained, and only the best are eligible for selection. Tian Hao is very proficient in English, with a little less familiarity with Latin, and he can also speak some simple French, and Japanese and Thai can basically meet Japanese conversation. The reason why I learned the last two small languages was not a requirement of the training institution, but completely out of male instinct.

The soldier also has a love ———— friend introduced Tianhao to a girl who works in the ballet troupe, although she is not a pillar of the troupe, but she has a graceful figure that all women envy. At that time, her favorite countries were England and Russia, where ballet flourished. This has nothing to do with Chongyang's charm, she just wants to dance and become the most dazzling white swan on the stage of the opera house.

She was a learned and extremely intelligent person. The troupe often has foreign performance tasks, and has frequent contact with people from all over the world, so in order to facilitate communication, she has learned four foreign languages in a row. It's not proficient.,The kind that can talk on a daily basis.。 The girl likes Tianhao very much, and the two agreed to get married when they have made achievements in each other's careers in two years. Tianhao admired his future wife very much, and under her drive, he developed a strong interest in foreign languages.

She went to France for a ballet competition and never returned.

Outside the Louvre, she encounters a white woman holding a sign claiming to be an environmentalist who is trying to raise money for the betterment of the planet. She took out a ten-euro bill and handed it over, but the other party took the money but refused to leave, shouting "Since you promised to donate, you must give five thousand euros at a time" and something like that.

At this point, everyone knows that they have encountered a liar, plus blackmail. She wanted to turn away, but it was too late. Two tall Caucasian men block the way and snatch her handbag. During the fight, she was stabbed.

Abroad is nowhere near as good as the liberals call out, with a lot of people coming and going, but no one stepping forward to stop them, and no one to help call the police or call an ambulance. She struggled in a pool of blood for more than an hour, slowly dying.

Learning English is very difficult, and Broken Tooth feels that this is a more terrifying and desperate task than facing hundreds of maned bears at the same time.

"It is necessary to learn, especially in everyday conversations, to be proficient in common words and short sentences." Tianhao's attitude is very resolute and non-negotiable: "If you can't understand their language, you can't communicate, even if it's difficult, you have to learn." ”

"Why?" Broken Tooth couldn't understand this.

Tianhao bent down and picked up a branch, squatted down, and casually drew the basic outline of the entire continent on the sand under his feet, and then used the branch to draw a line at the location of the Suolong Pass: "This is the Suolong Pass, from here, it is divided into two parts, north and south. ”

The map as a whole resembles a widened and enlarged rectangle, and the line drawn by Tianhao is located to the north, so it can be seen that three-quarters of the mainland is controlled by white people.

"The area they occupy is huge, far more than we are. Whites also have more advantages. They are more technologically advanced than we are, and they learned to use gunpowder many years ago to build muskets. They understood money better than any other barbarian, and even the lion kings, who were fully committed to the monetary system, were inferior to the petty traders among them. They built countless cities, and the combined population of the five kingdoms exceeded three billion, which was roughly dozens of times the total population of all our tribes. ”

"They are hostile to us, and all the countries, together with the Holy See, have formed a united army. According to the information currently available, the total strength of the regular army under the command of the five kingdoms and the Holy See, together with the reserves that can be called up at any time, is about 30 million. ”

"What about us? The total population of all the tribes combined is only about 20 million. There are only two million people in the Ox Clan, and the Leon Clan has the most number, more than four million. You can imagine that their total strength is more than our total population, how can this battle be fought? ”

Broken Tooth doesn't have a very intuitive idea of numbers. He belongs to the type that has no aptitude for mathematics. If he hadn't become the captain of Tianhao's personal guard, he had learned a lot of things under the teachings of the priests, and his dull brain might have only been able to calculate addition and subtraction within a hundred.

Thirty million troops?

Broken Tooth shook a dense army of ants in front of his eyes. He had seen ant nests, and when he was a child, he used to dig up the homes of these little creatures in order to get a bite of food, and then set up a large clay pot next to it, and smear a little nectar or honey on the basin, and the ants would follow the smell and crawl in. The man stood beside him, holding in his hand a wooden spoon with a thick and clean bottom, and when the ants at the bottom of the pot gradually gathered, he gently scooped it down and crushed it to death. The ants in the back did not care about the casualties of their companions in front of them, and still fought bravely for food...... This process will continue for a long time, and the ants that have been crushed by the wooden scoop will gradually accumulate and become thicker and thicker.

Mix a little flour, knead these ants into a ball, press them into flat cakes, sprinkle them with salt, and bake them on a charcoal fire, which is a delicious taste.

There must be 30 million ants in that big pot, right?

Broken Tooth has a strong character that refuses to admit defeat, he gritted his teeth, and his expression became a little hideous: "Thirty million...... They...... They're all unbeaten, and I can kill hundreds of them alone. ”

Tianhao sneered: "If it's hand-to-hand combat, I don't doubt that there is such a possibility. But you have to understand that white Southerners rarely used swords from a few decades ago, and all their soldiers were armed with muskets. It is a weapon that changes the course of war, and it is the most effective tool for the weak to destroy the strong. Don't say a hundred, even if ten white soldiers fire at the same time, you can't resist at all and are beaten into a sieve on the spot. ”

Broken Tooth was completely silent.

Except for the young lords, he only believed in the gods.

“…… My lord, what should we do? A fear that he had never felt before slowly took possession of Broken Tooth's heart, and he wiped his face vigorously and asked earnestly: "As long as you learn that kind of writing that goes around and around, and speak the same language as them, you can win them and cut off their heads?" ”

"We need to know everything about them." Tianhao raised his right hand and lightly tapped the broken tooth's forehead with his fingers: "Learn, communicate, understand, and then find their weaknesses, only in this way can we continue to win." ”

Broken Tooth's ugly face floated into frenzy: "I see what you mean, we have to learn to make their weapons." ”

"It's not that simple." Tianhao smiled: "There are also corn and potatoes." The Leonites are on our guard, but there are two other treasures to be found in other parts of the world besides them. ”

"You mean white people?" Broken Tooth suddenly became excited: "Corn and potatoes can also be found in white territory? ”

Tianhao didn't explain, he smiled and patted the shoulder of the broken tooth: "Study hard, you will become a big man sooner or later." ”

……

Elizabeth never imagined that she would be educated in the body on the territory of the barbarians.

The spacious rooms are unfurnished, with neatly laid wooden floors and wooden bars on the walls, the only difference from civilized times is the lack of mirrors embedded in the walls.

Tianhao walked slowly into the room, holding a branch of a tree with excellent flexibility in his hand as usual. He looked at the girl standing in front of him, and his tone was slightly gentler than usual: "Let's start class!" ”

She only had a chest wrap and a pair of short panties.

It's not that Tianhao is stingy, but that the current weaving technology of the Deer people cannot produce high-elastic fabrics. Don't think about tight-fitting training clothes, before the emergence of the chemical industry, human clothing was still the first priority of durability and warmth. Of course, you can dress relatively thin in summer, and as for dance training, you are not so particular, and everything is mainly loose and comfortable.

Fifteen-year-old Elizabeth's bones had already been formed, and movements such as large leg presses were not suitable, and Tianhao's daily training for her could only focus on the basics.

Half squat, legs are standard 180 degrees outward, and toes, knees, hips, and shoulders must be on the same plane.

Full squat, on the basis of the previous posture downward squat, the legs must squat to the deepest point, the key is that the heel can not generate force to actively push up.

Small kicks, kick the legs into the air with your feet, the action should be agile, strong and quick to raise and retract, the crotch remains stable, and the toes must be made straight and wipe the ground before the foot is thrown and withdrawn.

In addition to this, there is a series of highly standardized movements.

All of these are lessons that Tianhao learned from his girlfriend. Young men and women in love have their own sweetness, Tianhao taught his girlfriend how to use firearms on the shooting range, she taught Tianhao to dance ballet in the dance training studio, and also bought him a set of men's tight-fitting practice clothes, the beautiful name said: You let me familiarize myself with your daily work, I will help you enter the palace of dance art.

An hour passed, and Elizabeth felt herself groaning in pain in every muscle in her body.

She had seen other aristocratic girls study ballet, and she was envious at the time, but now that she had the same experience, she felt that this kind of thing was terrible, far less elegant than it seemed on the surface.

She instinctively wanted to be lazy, and the whip in Tianhao's hand whipped mercilessly.

"Train or die, the choice is yours."

"You're average-looking, not pretty. You are now in the stage of development, but your body is out of shape. An elegant and beautiful countess must not have a piece of fat on her. There is simply no second way to reshape yourself other than through hard and brutal training. ”

"I'm busy, there's no way I'm wasting all my time on you. You only have six months, and I have to see the results within the allotted time. If you refuse to train, I'll have to choose someone else. Hehe...... Dear Countess Elpsor, you must have heard the proverb: in this world, there is no shortage of people. ”

There is no music, just monotonous beats.

This is a shortcoming that Tianhao can't overcome, although he can play the piano and can pretend to play a few short violin pieces, but after all, he is not a music major. To make matters worse, the northern barbarians' understanding of music comes from war cries and witchcraft, and they like to play war drums, like to sing heartily with open voices, and sway their shocking artistic cells in the midst of frenzy and savagery.

No way, the north and the south are two completely different worlds.

……

It was late at night.

Tianhao sat in his room and worked on official documents.

Thanks to the comprehensive use of paper in the Rock Collar, the news from the villages is now written on paper, and the content will not be forced to reduce the number of words due to the size limit of the animal skin scroll, and it is as concise as possible, much more careful and rich than in the past.

Bonnard walked into the room with a steaming cup of black leaf tea, carefully placing it on the table beside Tianhao.
