Chapter 20: An Out-of-Tune Fairy Tale
"Hell."
Saint-Yves was dumbfounded.
He recognized the apprentice of the watch shop who had been the first to go out in the arena, and even the silver armor on the co-pilot's crooked side, and a sense of foreboding crept into his mind.
During the pursuit, the guards at the arsenal turned their hearts sideways, carried a yellow powder grenade launcher, aimed the mouth of the barrel at the steam car in front, and pulled the trigger.
"Shhh
The body of the steam car twisted flexibly, and the grenade landed on the rear of the car, but the explosion still caused the entire steam car to fly uncontrollably at low altitude for a while before it hit the ground heavily.
"Bad luck."
Li Yan sighed.
A tracked vehicle, powered by steam, can reach a top speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour with the blessing of three balls. Considering the condition of the road surface, this is already an incredible level of technology. But for Li Yan's maneuvering ability that is now comparable to a humanoid Gundam, the speed of the steam car is really stretched.
If it weren't for the fact that the "unicorn" had many parts scattered on the car and was difficult to clean up, he would have thrown off these pursuers a long time ago.
Yes, Li Yan dismantled the unicorn. To be exact, the part that connects the steam engine and the helmet on the back was removed, and the two gauntlets and armor shoes could operate independently and were not damaged.
Of course, this is worth it, the many collection of individual soldiers in the royal arsenal are often the most representative technological crystallization of their respective eras, which is of great benefit to Li Yan, but unfortunately it is only a kick in the door, the guards of the arsenal returned in time to help, Li Yan had to grab a steam car and flee the road, and the kung fu on the road was not pressed, and Jane's "unicorn" suffered.
"Your Special Specialty: Magic Technology has been increased to 60%!"
You have comprehended the derivative skills of Magic Technology: [Basic Magic Machinery Maintenance] [Three Ball Return Recycling Techniques]
"Please note that the casting process of any triathlon ball must be completed within the 128th of the Feather Cyl. However, there is no such restriction on the re-furnace of the three-ball device that has already been made. ”
Li Yan's ears heard the sound of breaking the air, and another grenade attacked.
He took a deep breath, the wooden handle turned, the front of the car twisted, narrowly dodging the grenade, allowing the aftermath of the explosion to propel the steam cart into the manor's railing.
In the blur and chaos of the night, the steam cart crashed into the wooden railing with a huge thrust, and then rushed straight towards Saint-Yves and Michael like a bull in heat!
In order to avoid the runaway steam car, Saint-Yves dodged in a hurry, accidentally tripped over a stone, and sat on the ground, and Michael, a blacksmith, rolled to the side in embarrassment.
"Beware!"
Li Yan said with a raised face, he picked up the two tall armor boots of the "unicorn" from the car, aimed them at the attic window and threw them in. In just a few moments, the guards of the brigade driving the steam cart surrounded all three people.
"He still has accomplices?"
The guards who chased after him were furious, he was only a thief at first he panicked, but he didn't expect to find two guys of unknown origin, looking under the princess's house in the middle of the night.
"Get off! Hands up, all at once! ”
Dozens of guns were pointed at Li Yan in the car, as well as Saint-Yves and Michael.
Faced with the muzzle of the gun, Saint-Yves had a gloomy face, and Michael was at a loss.
"I am the son of the Minister of War, Saint-Yves Maratoga."
Saint-Yves shouted.
Bang!
The guards heard the sound and subconsciously looked up.
I saw a sturdy figure smash through the window and jump from the flying glass shards to a height of more than ten meters.
Two bursts of white steam erupted from under Jane's boots, and she rolled on the ground and sprinted forward unscathed, crashing into the three guards at the front, burrowing into Li Yan's steam cart like a leopard. But immediately he looked up in anger and asked, "What did you do to my "unicorn"?!" ”
Li Yan shrugged: "It's just an accident, Your Highness Princess." ”
Jane held back her anger and only had time to put on the armarmor of her right hand. Punched back a few guards who rushed up.
Someone tried to shoot Li Yan, but before he could pull the trigger, he was hit by Jane with a net shooter, and he was stuck in the net and couldn't extricate himself.
Such a big abnormality and noise quickly attracted the personal guards who were in charge of holding Jane in charge. Dressed in red-striped uniforms and tall hats with golden spikes, they carried rifles and howitzers, and were followed by steam soldiers and steam carts like iron lumps, gathering like ant colonies in the rush of whistles.
Saint-Yves rolled his eyes and shouted at Jane: "I'll hold them back, Your Highness, you go first." ”
Unexpectedly, Jane turned around and tied Saint-Yves and a group of guards under a net.
"You are an elegant gentleman, Your Excellency. But I can't disgrace your family because of my decisions. Forgive me for being rude, it's safe for you. ”
Someone shouted in the line of the Guards.
"Your Royal Highness, you can't go out. This is your father's command. ”
Jane replied without hesitation: "My respect and love for my father has always been the same. I'm sure that one day, he will be happy to accept my idea. But I think I used to be too passive. I should have taken the initiative. ”
She said, and took her elbow to Li Yan: "The car turned around." ”
"I try."
Li Yan pulled the rocker. The steam car turned around and tried to break through the guards' lines.
Jane raised her armour, and several grenades landed accurately under the feet of the tall individual soldier with thick skin and flesh, and after the explosion, the defense line immediately loosened, and Li Yan saw the opportunity, and the steam car was like a fish in a broken net, escaping alive.
"Wait, Jane, take me."
Michael waved his hands and shouted.
Jane in the car turned around and hesitated for a moment before shouting at Michael, "I'm sorry, Michael, I have to keep my promise." Besides, you are an only child, and I cannot put you at risk. ”
Michael opened his mouth, but was finally speechless, and his shoulders drooped down.
"Chase."
The steam convoy scrambled to intercept Li Yan and Jane.
Ke Jian faced the pursuers, threw several grenades with the launcher, and exploded in front of the pursuers without any difference, forcing the guards to slow down or else they would pass through the flames and shrapnel.
In the midst of the successive explosions, the steam cart with a square head and brain rode away towards the outside of the royal city.
"You've got two hits, Your Highness."
Li Yan looked ahead.
"I will keep my promise. Being able to steal a unicorn from an arsenal is hopefully more than just luck. Ugly words ahead, I don't go on the road with a drag bottle. ”
"Anything."
Li Yan glanced at Jane.
The two sat in a car, and Li Yan was surprised to find that the steam princess "Jane" and her actor "Dorothy" had completely different demeanors and temperaments despite having the same face.
Jane in the fairy tale, who has received professional training from the Royal Navy, has a straight back and gestures, giving people a heroic posture. But Dorothy, who talks and laughs on the stage, is elegant and charming in her posture, and no one will confuse the two of them.
Is this "Dorothy" a bystander like Saint-Yves and Michael, or is she an active participant like Li Yan?
At the same time, Li Yan's card is undergoing amazing changes, the original ordinary white paper has become a hard card with hot stamping, and the "watch shop apprentice" and "skilled steam worker." The words "Steam Conference Eliminator" and "Desperate Thief" were all squeezed into the corner, and the largest line read, "The main characters of Giant's Lake." "Five big words.
————————————————
The curtain slowly fell, and Dorothy and other actors saluted the audience.
The applause and cheers were still enthusiastic, but the atmosphere was a little strange.
Mayor Michael slapped his face, but his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
Dorothy's drama is of the same high standard as ever, and the chase scenes, the big scenes of the action scenes are impeccable. But......
Some whispered.
"Why is there so much of that Liang's role?"
"I thought Michael would help the princess get the soldier back."
Li Yan listened to these discussions expressionlessly, and then got up to leave.
Dorothy on the stage looked as usual, still responding to various questions gracefully. It's just that when Li Yan left the scene, her eyes fell on Li Yan as if she were nothing.
"Miss Dorothy, what are your expectations for the performance of "Giant's Lake" this time?"
A reporter in the audience held a small notebook and a pen and asked Dorothy questions.
"Who cares about that kind of boring thing?"
Dorothy's voice was so small that the reporter didn't hear it clearly, he blinked, looked up and asked, "You, what did you just say?" ”
Dorothy retracted her gaze, smiled at the reporter and said, "This will be a story that has never been seen before." ”
