"There's good news, there's bad news." asked Carly, and after asking Ai Ge and Ancaro separately, Liu Jian returned to Cheng Caiwei's side and said with a smile: "Which one do you want to listen to first?" ”
Although she is a woman, Cheng Caiwei is definitely not a weak woman in the simple sense. She inherited the art of war from Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, and really commanded the army on the battlefield, and experienced the tragic siege battle of Suiyang City. Although he can't be called iron-willed, he is indeed a very qualified general.
After the initial panic, Cheng Caiwei quickly calmed down and faced the situation in front of her: "Husband, you're not injured, are you?" ”
Compared with the news in Liu Jian's mouth, whether it is good news or bad news, it is obviously not as important as Liu Jian's own safety.
Seeing Liu Jian rushing towards this gang of horse thieves empty-handed, Cheng Caiwei's whole heart was about to fall into the abyss.
Fortunately, Liu Jian was very powerful, not only defeated these strange horse thieves with his own strength, but also captured three people for interrogation, but Cheng Caiwei was not concerned about the news that Liu Jian asked at the moment, but whether Liu Jian was injured.
After a careful inspection, she found that although Liu Jianjian's clothes were torn and there were still a few white marks on her skin, she was not injured, and Cheng Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Husband, how can you personally take risks if the son of a daughter can't sit down?"
"Well, it's not that dangerous, don't you think I'm fine now. Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Whew, let's start with the good news. The good news is that I know where we are now. ”
Liu Jian roughly introduced Westeros, Essos, and Thross to Cheng Caiwei, and introduced the world view of A Song of Ice and Fire. Of course, the focus is on Essos, between the Trembling Sea and the Summer Sea, and especially the situation in this Dothraki Sea. After all, while A Song of Ice and Fire focuses on Westeros, they are now on the Dothraki Sea in Essos. Westeros, as the main point of the story, is not very important in the eyes of Liu Jian today.
Subsequently, Liu Jian explained the current situation to Cheng Caiwei, including crossing and the like.
"What the husband said is that we are now in the heaven and earth described in a work called "A Song of Ice and Fire", just like the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and there are no great Hans, nor Nanyue or Xiongnu in this world. And the husband can travel to such a world? ”
Liu Jian nodded: "That's basically the case, that's right." ”
"I see." Cheng Caiwei suddenly realized, and then looked at Liu Jian with a wistful expression: "I didn't expect that my husband was an immortal." ”
Immediately after Liu Jian's explanation, Cheng Caiwei persuaded herself again: "I just saw my husband grabbing the blade with his bare hands, and Caiwei's frightened heart stopped. And the husband was not injured at all, thinking that the body of an immortal is not something that ordinary soldiers can hurt. ”
"Immortals or something......" Liu Jian grabbed his hair, and he didn't know how to explain this misunderstanding to Cheng Caiwei for a while.
But it's not bad, anyway, although he is not an immortal now, he may one day run into a world of immortal cultivation, and he will become an immortal after practicing.
"What's the bad news that the husband just said?"
"The bad news is that I'm afraid we won't be able to go back anytime soon." Speaking of this, Liu Jian couldn't help frowning: "Cai Wei, it's really an accident to come to this place this time, although I can go back and forth between different worlds." But this time it wasn't me who did it on my own initiative, but because of some accident. I still haven't figured out why. ”
Compared to the previous ones, this crossing undoubtedly seemed particularly strange.
Compared to the previous ones, this time the crossing seemed too sudden. Not only did he not reach the fixed time of crossing, but Liu Jian did not even receive the slightest bit of information before the crossing occurred. Although there is no tangible evidence, Liu Jian can feel that this matter is very abnormal, and it is very likely that he will not be able to leave this world for a long time.
Therefore, as soon as he woke up from this world, Liu Jian used the anchor of time and space to lock the time flow ratio of this world.
He didn't know how long it would take him to leave this world, maybe the same six months as before, but it was highly unlikely. It may be a few years or even decades, and Liu Jian is not sure about this matter at all.
Either way, it's always a good idea to lock the time flow scale to the maximum first.
However, to Liu Jian's surprise, the consumption rate of magic gold coins was a bit fast.
One magic gold coin can support the time lock-in needs of about ten days, because of the previous series of consumption, Liu Jian now has eighty-seven magic gold coins left on his body. Even if he didn't consume anything else at all, this magic gold coin was only enough for Liu Jian to stick to the space-time anchor lock for two years, and after two years, the passage of time would return to normal, once Liu Jian fell into the worst situation that he couldn't return to for decades...... Liu Jian was very glad that he had previously given Poison Island a pass and had opened up a farm in a small space.
Even if they really can't go back, the women in the small space at least don't have to worry about not being able to live.
"So what do we do now?" Temporarily suppressing the worries in his heart, Liu Jian decided to focus on the problem in front of him: "I just asked their tribe to stop not far from here, we can go to their tribe first." ”
"Everything is at the behest of the husband."
The proximity of Kari and the others was a relative word, in terms of the speed of a fast horse, and they could not get back to the tribe before dark if they walked.
In other words, Liu Jian had to ride a horse like Carrie and them.
Although Liu Jian may be able to walk faster than these people on horseback, Liu Jian must ride a horse.
After watching the TV series and the information he got from the three Kalis, Liu Jian understood very well what kind of attitude the Dothraki people had towards the 'Infica' who couldn't ride a horse. Contempt, mockery,
By the way, Infica has a triple meaning of walker, Gentile and slave in the Dothraki language, the most important of which means slave.
Even without considering the attitude of the Dothraki, Liu Jian felt that he had to ride a horse. Otherwise, it would be too humiliating for everyone else to sit on the horse, and he stood alone on the ground.
To ride a horse, Liu Jian had to face a problem.
He doesn't know how to ride a horse, at least not very well.
In the Western Han Dynasty, he practiced horseback riding, and he practiced it well, even if he galloped wildly, there was no problem.
But that was on the premise that Liu Jian made himself a Takahashi saddle and stirrups, which could stably fit the rider on the horse's back.
So there is something wrong with the horses of the Dothraki.
The first was the saddle, which was small and rudimentary, and was nothing more than a cloth cushion on the horse's back.
Secondly, the Dothraki did not have stirrups.
This, of course, has no problem with the Dothraki who have lived on horseback all their lives. But for Liu Jian, who is only a beginner in horseback riding and is used to Takahashi saddles and stirrups, the problem is huge.
In the end, Liu Jian picked up some wood and mixed a saddle that had been removed from the dead horse and cast a magic forging on his own saddle.
Under the magic of his hands, the originally smooth and narrow saddle was slowly deformed in Liu Jian's hands, the front and back ends were cocked and the middle was bent downward, and a high bridge saddle was quickly formed in Liu Jian's hands, and then two ropes were connected on both sides of the saddle, and a live buckle was played, and a simple cloth stirrup was also formed.
This magical method aroused the attention and whispers of the three Carrie, although their voices were very low, but Liu Jian, who was deliberately paying attention, heard it very clearly.
The three of them obviously regarded Liu Jian as a very powerful wizard, and they became more and more in awe of Liu Jian.
Liu Jian made two sets, one for himself and one for Cheng Caiwei.
As for Kali, they obviously don't need it.
The Dothraki people, who have lived on horseback since childhood, can sit comfortably and even ride their horses on smooth horses that have nothing.
The group of five rode their horses wildly, and along the way, Carrie, Eig, and Ancaro paid attention to the saddle where Liu Jian and he sat down, their eyes full of doubt and fear.
As dusk approached, the five men finally approached where Cass was.
