Chapter 88: The Serious Consequences That Must Be Faced After Popping
When he woke up in the morning, Su Wen first felt an extra pain in his back and shoulders. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The large paw prints on his back were all cut by Laetitia's fingernails, and she had bitten him the shoulder, not to match the last time he had been in the Tridis Underpass. Su Wen felt that she was very lucky that her collarbone was not bitten off, and in return, Laetitia also bled a lot, huh...... They stained the white towels on the sheets and witnessed the transformation of a half-elf girl into a woman.
Su Wen felt the soft body that was close to him, and instead of rolling over as usual, his expression was a little complicated.
Thinking of what Laetitia said while crying last night, Su Wen couldn't help but feel that she was probably going to completely treat herself as a wife now. If she is still willing to put on the maid's costume and perform the duties of a maid, then there is actually no essential difference, but I am afraid that this girl's mentality will change drastically after performing the "real ceremony", and she will be farther and farther away from the path of a perfect and elegant servant, then Su Wen will definitely be very sad. Considering the possibility of such serious consequences, Su Wen decided to take precautions, and began to simulate the formulation of the divorce agreement in his heart.
Perhaps sensing the movement around her, Laetitia's body moved, and she opened her confused eyes and looked at Su Wen. At this time, she was lying in Su Wen's arms, close to her skin.
Suven thought that Laetitia would exclaim, but she didn't. She just closed her eyes lightly, and then buried her head in Su Wen's chest, as if enjoying the warmth of the bed.
Well, for the sake of "injury", I won't blow you up for training today.
Thinking so, Su Wen stopped making the brain hole agreement, but when he was about to roll over and get up, about to do physical training alone, he felt Laetitia pull him back.
"Master, stay with me for a while, don't go anywhere, okay?"
Laetitia whispered.
The title of "master" made Su Wen's heart settle, it seems that although Laetitia has changed a lot, she has not forgotten her duty after all, so for the sake of today's special day, Su Wen will follow her heart a little.
But looking at her like this, is there still a demand?
As if guessing Su Wen's doubts, Laetitia frowned and shook her head, as if she was still enduring a slight pain: "Master, you don't have to do anything, that's it." ”
Oh, that's what it means to go to bed again.
So Suven used Laetitia as a pillow, and fell asleep in the warm and soft touch, until another two hours passed, when it really dawned, and he woke up again. The two hours of strenuous exercise last night made him a little tired, and he felt even harder than staying up late in the northern plateau to rescue him, but counting the time, it was actually just over 7 o'clock in the morning.
But Su Wen has no sleep, and if he doesn't get up, it will really be morning, and he will have to hurry next. He hadn't planned to stay in Kokintown, which was just a commercial town populated by a large number of foreign tourists, and it was clearly not the place he was looking for.
There was a lot of blood on the sheets and sheets, most of which came from Su Wen's scratched back, and he couldn't help but sigh that his body was still too weak, and even Laetitia's nails couldn't match. And Laetitia seemed to be a little apologetic for this, she personally applied wound medicine to Su Wenna's shoulder that had left a deep tooth mark, and wrapped it with a hemostatic bandage, as for the scars on the back, although there was a lot of blood at the time, but after all, it was only a skin injury, and it was basically scabbed after a night, so there was no need to pay attention to it.
After the most important thing for the girl, Laetitia doesn't seem to have changed much from before, the only difference is probably that she is a little awkward when she walks, and her brow is always stretched.
She washed the towel stained with the blood of a virgin, leaving only a faint stain of blood, dried it with the machine provided in the bathroom, and placed it in a small suitcase.
Then the two left the room and went to have breakfast.
"Nothing was a problem, hosts...... Last night, I just did it for too long, and it will get better soon. ”
On the way, when Su Wen asked if she was uncomfortable with her crooked steps, Laetitia replied with a red face.
Is this a compliment?
The Rocket Hotel in Kogin Town is good value for money, although it costs a night to spend dozens of gold coins, but both the facilities and the food supply are first-class, even the free breakfast hash browns and beef and egg chops are all carefully cooked and made, and the highland barley tea in the cup is the best from the Northland. At the table, Laetitia was chewing in small mouthfuls with a ruddy face, like a well-behaved kitten, while Su Wen ate the contents of the plate in three or two bites, and savored the aroma of grains contained in the tea.
"Master, are we going to leave in a moment?"
Laetitia asked suddenly, her voice so soft that it made Su Wen a little hairy.
"Of course, if there are no accidents on the way, we will be able to reach Ironforge tomorrow afternoon, and then we will stay there for about half a month or a month, and then set off for the south. ”
For the plan of this trip, Su Wen had already arranged it. It's early July, and you have at least a month left to make your way to the Tuscan province in the south of the empire, so you have to leave by late July or early August at the latest, otherwise you won't be able to make it to the official mage's entrance ceremony. As for what should be done in the province of Iron Furnace, firstly, it is necessary to make a large number of statistics on the types and prices of weapons in order to prepare for a plan to pay off debts, and secondly, to observe the level of development of industrial technology there, where "industry" is not limited to the military industry, but more importantly to the basic manufacturing industry, including civilian industry. It is true that without a certain amount of capital and identity, it is extremely difficult to obtain in-depth information about these things, but Su Wen does not expect to become a fat man in one bite, he only needs to have a more intuitive understanding of the current situation of this continent.
The pit system is indeed a weapon and military industrial system, so much so that it cut off Su Wen's original idea of farming, but this does not mean that his remaining choice is only to sell arms, on the contrary, this practice is like getting a box of treasures, and then selling them in boxes, without knowing how to open the treasure chest for more detailed use, in Su Wen's opinion, it is extremely stupid.
And it's just a matter of changing industries, it's just that it's the military industry, which involves the arteries of the country, and rashly intervening and doing something eye-catching, is really no different from looking for death -- changing the existing weapons pattern may be one of Su Wen's ultimate goals, but it is far from the existence that he can touch now. In fact, he had understood this point as early as when he saw the attitude of the Duolun Empire towards the new weapon of muskets.
Therefore, even if it was an ancient mechanical weapon like Glock, at least until he had the capital to look down on this world, Su Wen would definitely not let them flow out of his hands.
But the industries that underpin the military-industrial system are different.
Although the essence of the two worlds is different, since Su Wen has not felt obvious discord after coming here for half a year, it shows that there are still a lot of similarities between them, and the so-called differences are only a few.
And since weapons and equipment cannot be easily sold, why not focus on the basic industries that support them? Anyway, the principles of the two worlds can be touched by the vast majority.
Take the Glock pistol that Su Wen already used as an example. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a murder weapon capable of firing high-powered bullets, in the eyes of a genius like Laetitia, it is a small device with a clever design and operates by mechanical ignition, and in Su Wen's eyes, it hides an extremely large history of development and a production process that condenses a lot of wisdom accumulation.
In the past life of Su Wen's memory, there was a sealed bamboo barrel with gunpowder and projectiles in history, this weapon was called a musket, which can be regarded as the most primitive thermal weapon; Flintlock pistols and other better firearms, and in this process, both the quality of gunpowder and the processing technology of parts are making rapid breakthroughs, so that the final appearance of primer-triggered firearms completely ended the process of primitive weapons, and made thermal weapons enter the era of mechanical weapons.
And in today's glorious continent, the development of thermal weapons is obviously still hesitating in this process: from the mouths of those weapon dealers, Su Wen learned that today's mainstream firearms are still flintlock firearms, that is to say, they are only advanced firearms that have just left the primary stage, and there is still a gap-like gap between them and modern mechanical weapons, and the predecessor of the flintlock pistol is also an arquebus, which also shows that the history of the two worlds is so similar. But at the same time, Su Wen also realized that the profession of magic spearman has appeared since ancient times two thousand years ago, that is to say, the concept of "firearms" has appeared at that time, but until today, the progress has been extremely limited - in contrast, in his memory of the previous life, from the invention of the first firearm, until the elimination of mechanical weapons, kinetic energy and pure energy weapons became the mainstream, it only took more than 2,000 years!
What is the reason for this slow development? The stagnation of gunpowder research and development? The backwardness of industry? The artificial hindrance and suppression? Or is it that in this magical world, the things about machinery are affected by the law, so it is not until they are picked up by those goblins who love to study that they really start to enter the people's eyes hundreds of years ago?
Su Wen came to the Iron Furnace Province with a lot of questions like this.
Moreover, before he even entered the Iron Furnace Province, he already had a rough idea of the industrial level here.
Why?
Because of that carriage.
There is only a thin line between the military industry and the civilian industry, and even if Su Wen cannot access the most advanced technology of the Ironforge Fort today, he can already see the basic craftsmanship level of the goblins and dwarves from the products flowing from the Woking Guild. The steel frame of the carriage that Su Wen had bought was so hard that it had a lot of patterns, rounded corners, and completely inconspicuous weld marks, and it was a great task that could be done by manpower alone—you know, even the best hand-forged swords would be sold for hundreds of gold coins, precisely because they required the blacksmith to forge them repeatedly and painstakingly. Referring to the price and process accuracy of this nearly tonnage carriage, Su Wen knew that it must come from the production line, not by hand.
And the goblins' lathes?
Su Wen was so interested, this was the reason why he chose the Wojin Carriage, and when he got to Ironforge, it might be a stepping stone to help him open the world of goblins and dwarves!
“...... Master, you're distracted again. ”
At this moment, Su Wen's voice suddenly sounded in Suwen's ears.
"Well, I'm just thinking about something. We're done eating, so let's go. Su Wen replied with a smile, only to find that the half-elf girl was frowning slightly, as if she was a little lost in an inconspicuous way.
"The host ......"
She whispered, but stopped talking.
"Uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm just thinking, even if it's only today, can you spend some time with me?" said this, Laetitia's eyes showed anticipation.
"Why, aren't we together every day?"
"That's different, master!"
"Oh, I would like to hear it, and I will fully respect your opinion. ”
"In a few days, it's ...... Well, I'm going to have to prepare for those days, master. Laetitia's voice grew quieter, "Would you be upset if, if I got pregnant?"
"Poof!"
Only then did Su Wen realize that his previous worries were too sweet! This is the truly terrifying thing!
