Chapter 4 Direct

Mo Sandi smiled and said politely: "Elder Lao, what the elder said just now is too modest, I am not a genius, if my brother is here, he will definitely be a hundred times stronger than me, and when we rescue him from the tyrant Xerxes, I will definitely give him the position of the leader of this alliance."

Elder Seth couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, "It's not too humble, the master has mastered all kinds of assassin skills that require thirty years of penance in less than ten years, if this is not a genius, who else can be counted?" ”

Ten years of mastering thirty years of skills, Ling Zifeng listened a little confused.

What does this number represent? The girl in front of her is not a beauty, but also a master among the masters~ Talented!

I only heard Elder Seth continue: "As for whether the little master can serve as the leader of the alliance, we will have to wait until we rescue him before we can judge, whether the magician agrees to help us?" As he spoke, Elder Seth's eyes also turned to Ling Zifeng.

Mo Sandi smiled and explained, "Elder Mo is in a hurry to let Mr. Ling eat first, and we will talk while eating. ”

Ling Zifeng had been waiting for this for a long time, he was so hungry that he ate unceremoniously, it was impossible to say that he was not worried about these people doing things in the meal, but he was relieved to think that they still had to ask for himself.

And if these people want to be unfavorable to themselves, they will start as early as when they catch him, so why bother to do these boring actions.

Mo Sandi seemed to be in order to avoid suspicion, and also accompanied Ling Zifeng to eat some casually, while Elder Seth walked behind Mo Sandi and stood like a servant with his hands down, waiting for Mo Sandi's orders.

After a while, Ling Zifeng also looked full, Mo Sandi took out a gauze towel from her arms, wiped her mouth lightly, and said to Ling Zifeng, "I don't know if Mr. Ling has any other questions you want to ask?" ”

Ling Zifeng wiped his mouth apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really hungry, then I still have a few questions, which country did your homeland belong to before it was invaded by Persia?" ”

Mo Sandi's body couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this question, she thought about it for a long time, and still said lightly: "It belongs to the Babylonian Kingdom." ”

"What? Babylon! The Babylon who built the Tower of Babel and the Hanging Gardens and promulgated the Code of Hammurabi? Ling Zifeng asked in astonishment.

Mo Sandi looked slightly surprised and said, "Mr. Ling knows about Babylon? Unexpectedly, Mr. Ling came from the far east and actually knew about Babylon. ”

Ling Zifeng himself is a fan of ancient civilization, whether it is Chinese or foreign, he knows something, he has read these types of books at home all these years, but he didn't expect Mo Sandi to be a descendant of Babylon.

It seems that it is not surprising that they can use crossbow arrows that are beyond the technology of this era, and ancient Babylon does have some unknown "black technology".

Ling Zifeng thought about these and said excitedly: "You are Babylonians, then I can basically be sure of the doubts in my heart, why your brother was enslaved by Xerxes, I can probably guess a few points." ”

Ling Zifeng thought in his heart, "The people of this family must be a very powerful family in Babylon, and Xerxes wants to enslave the young son of their family, so naturally he also has the intention of coercing. ”

He figured this out and smiled and said, "Next, we're going to talk about how to work together against Xerxes." ”

Seeing that Ling Zifeng had agreed to cooperate, Mo Sandi said happily: "Mr. Ling agreed?" ”

She thought that Ling Zifeng could roughly deduce the background of their family from a few illogical questions, and admired and admired in her heart: "Mr. Ling is really talented. ”

Ling Zifeng immediately smiled and got up and said, "Since the doubts in my heart are gone, let's go without further ado, and catch up with the Persian envoys, who are heading in the direction of Sparta." ”

Seeing Ling Zifeng's resolute and resolute style, Mo Sandi felt a lot more good in her heart, and said happily: "That's right, we can only know Xerxes's movements when we catch up with this team first, and we will discuss other matters in detail on the way." ”

She waved her hand and said to Elder Seth, "Trouble Elder to help me prepare a carriage as soon as possible." After speaking, she led Ling Zifeng towards the door.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Mo Sandi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ling, wait outside the door for a while, I'll come when I go." As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared without a trace.

After a while, before the carriage came to the door, a black shadow flashed, and a figure instantly appeared beside Ling Zifeng, it was Mo Sandi who was wearing a black robe.

The clothes are cut close to the body, just like those gym clothes that Ling Zifeng has seen, Mo Sandi's bumpy figure is undoubtedly revealed under the black clothes, and Ling Zifeng is feasting his eyes for a while.

After a cup of tea, a carriage pulled by two tall horses was led by Elder Seth, and the carriage was black and heavy, and it looked like a chariot commonly used in ancient times.

Ling Zifeng couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw it, and his heart was annoyed and amused.

Although he is an otaku, because he likes ancient culture and military knowledge, he usually reads a lot of related books, and the carriage in front of him is a heavy equipment that charges on the battlefield, similar to a modern tank, how could Ling Zifeng not see it.

It would be a big joke to use this thing to travel long distances to chase the Persian envoys.

Looking at the funny chariot in front of him, Ling Zifeng turned his head to Mo Sandi beside him and asked with a confused expression, "Sister, you are not mistaken, right?" This is a chariot for battle, so bulky things are only suitable for short charges, let alone chasing Persian messengers, and I am really afraid that these two horses will be exhausted if they can't go far. ”

Mo Sandi also frowned when she saw it, and asked Elder Seth unhappily, "Do we only have this kind of car?"

Elder Seth replied with an embarrassed face, "Master Mingjian, we really only have such a carriage. He said with a "you know" expression on his face.

Mo Sandi felt slightly helpless, looked at Ling Zifeng apologetically and said, "In order to prepare for the Xerxesian guards, we have always prepared only this kind of chariot that charges into battle, Mr. Ling, look at this... ”

Ling Zifeng didn't wait for Mo Sandi to finish speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted: "It's okay, let's just ride a horse." ”

"Horseback riding?" Mo Sandi asked in surprise, she was very puzzled in her heart that she couldn't stand riding a horse after a long journey, so she continued: "This, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Ling Zifeng asked puzzledly, "Why is it wrong?" Can't this horse be ridden? ”

Mo Sandi looked at Ling Zifeng a little strangely, and replied: "You can definitely ride, but the road we are going to take is rugged and steep, and it is not suitable for riding a horse and galloping, if you force yourself to ride to your destination, you will have to fall off the horse several times." ”

"Huh? Falling? Ling Zifeng also said with a strange feeling, thinking that even if the road was rough, he would not easily fall off the horse, and there was nothing wrong with watching those knights gallop back and forth for hundreds of miles before on TV.

Elder Seth also looked at Ling Zifeng with a strange expression on the side, and as he walked towards the carriage, he took out a pair of saddles from the side and put them on the backs of one of the horses.

With a helpless face, he said to Ling Zifeng: "My lord, you see that this horse riding is really only suitable for the plains, and there are some mountain roads from here to Sparta, so it is indeed inappropriate to forcibly ride a horse." ”

The saddle that Ling Zifeng looked at curiously looked no different from what he had seen on TV, and weren't the Persian envoys he had just seen not long ago also galloping on horseback?

Looking at it, suddenly Ling Zifeng felt that the saddle in front of him seemed to be a little different from the one in the image, and he couldn't help but lean closer to take a closer look, sure enough! This saddle doesn't even have stirrups!

He couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "This。。。。。。 What about stirrups? ”

Mo Sandi and Elder Seth looked at each other, staring at each other with wide eyes and not knowing how to answer, but after a while, Mo Sandi still mustered up the courage to ask, "What is a stirrup?" ”

Ling Zifeng said in surprise: "You don't know stirrups? Oh my God, how do you ride this kind of horse? ”

Suddenly, Ling Zifeng patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being an idiot.

Yes, stirrups did not appear until the Western Han Dynasty in China, and even less in the days of ancient Greece and Persia, when knights relied on hard-trained horsemanship to grip the belly of their horses.

He actually forgot the background of the era he had traversed, this horse without stirrups really couldn't ride the mountain road, could he only choose a bulky chariot on the road?

Just as he was hesitating to choose between riding a horse and a bulky chariot, a solution suddenly flashed in his mind, and he smiled and said to Mo Sandi: "Miss Mo can you lend me a rope to use." ”

Mo Sandi was slightly stunned and didn't know what he could do, but now she didn't allow her to ask more questions and delay any longer, so she immediately turned her head and instructed Elder Seth.

A moment later, Elder Seth retrieved a coil of rope.

Ling Zifeng took the rope and pulled it hard, feeling that the strength was not bad, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "This rope is good, it should be strong enough." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and pulled out his wand from his bosom and held it against the rope, and the incantation came out.

"Whoosh~"

A magical scene appeared, under the command of Ling Zifeng's wand, the rope instantly weaved itself into the shape of a pair of stirrups, and with a wave of his hand, it was firmly tied to the saddle.

The two people next to them were amazed, and couldn't help but ask in unison, "This is the stirrup?" ”

Ling Zifeng smiled and nodded, stepped on the stirrup with his left foot and sat firmly on the horse's back, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he galloped back and forth in the field in an instant.

Ling Zifeng laughed in his heart, "You can't do it yourself without a saddle, and the magic of making small things is just a little trick for him." ”

The two people beside him were surprised and delighted to see this scene, Elder Seth stared at the stirrups at Ling Zifeng's feet with bright eyes, and Mo Sandi said to Ling Zifeng with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that Mr. Mo is not only skilled in magic, but also superb in riding. ”

Ling Zifeng's face flushed slightly when he heard this, he knew very well what kind of horse he would ride there, and it was just that he had released a levitation spell that could just float a few millimeters on the saddle of the saddle.

He only floated on horseback for such a lap, but these little tricks were not visible to others.

But this matter is not easy to say, otherwise it will be a little embarrassing, Ling Zifeng hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I will help Miss Mo's horse also make a pair of stirrups, let's go." ”

With that, he waved his wand and used the remaining rope to make another stirrup and tie it to another horse.
