People who have worked hard all day fall asleep soundly in the embrace of the night, and at the same time, in the depths of darkness that ordinary eyes cannot see, all kinds of intrigues and tricks are carried out silently under the cover of dark night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The most striking is the Alfalfa Tavern in the center of town, where the room on the second floor to the south is inhabited by a "dragon" that closes its eyes and naps, so that the fierce birds and beasts entrenched in their respective spheres of influence are much more restrained than before.

After all, no one knows the bottom line of the "Legendary Mage Rez", and they are worried that they will be too presumptuous, and they will inadvertently anger this guardian from Elondale.

Besides, this Excellency should not know the rules, if you start a war rashly, there is no room to turn around, and the trouble will not stop in the end, no matter whether you win or lose, your competitors will die of laughter.

Therefore, on the night when Lu Bin officially came to Heishui Town, although there were still many ugly behaviors in the town shrouded in night, it was much better than before.

The footsteps of late autumn are about to come to an end with the yellowish leaves, and winter is later than in previous years, but the animals living in the wilderness see the golden autumn quietly disappearing in the white air that gradually thickens between the mouth and nose.

They must hurry up and stock up on enough food before the first snow of the year falls, or hang a thick layer of fat on their bodies, and hide in the distant mountain areas where human footprints have never been treaded, looking for suitable crypts to survive the long winter.

As for some groups that do not have hibernation mechanisms in their bodies and are unwilling to migrate to the warmer south, such as wild wolves that lack natural predators and breed in large numbers in the north, the reality of hunger and cold has forced them to move closer to each other and form larger wolf packs, trying to show their fangs to humans who have abundant winter reserves.

Behind the ever-increasing number of wolves are cursed beasts, displaced indigenous goblins, kobolds, dark wizards determined to take revenge on humans, and fragmentary ogres and bear goblins.

With the same goal, they formed loosely structured alliances, trying to restrain themselves from reaching out to their allies, and instead looking at the relatively well-to-do human beings, the desert territories under the lords of the North, and especially the unstable pioneer realms.

Blackwater Town, adjacent to the Grey Forest, is a very good target, because the territory has not been created for a long time, the road connecting the parties has not yet been built, and the potential resistance in the territory has not been well cleared, especially the underground world that hooks up with the dark residents, although they use each other more times, but it can't stop them from coming together, after all, there are rich unimaginable benefits in it.

Lu Bin didn't notice this, stayed in the room guarded by the tripping tribulus terrestris that didn't need to sleep, slept soundly, woke up naturally the next day, and after a simple rinse, he immediately beckoned Nina Wild next door to go downstairs to eat together.

At this time, the sky was just clear, and the aristocratic girl was still in the stage of thirsty sleep, but Lu Bin personally knocked on the door, and her sleepiness immediately disappeared.

The two of them had a simple breakfast in the lobby of the tavern, with slices of burnt bread and a glass of freshly boiled milk, which lifted Lu Bin and Nina Wilder's spirits.

After a short rest, Mr. Derek came to visit him excitedly, which happened to Lu Bin's wish, so he took out the drawings he had designed last night from his waist pocket, and mentioned the advantages of the two-wheeled scooter a little.

As a veteran aristocratic buyer, Derek has seen many big scenes that ordinary people can't imagine, and his experience and insight are quite extraordinary, but when he sees the transportation that his partner has specially improved for his business, he just thinks a little and imagines the scene of it running on the road, he can't help but stand up excitedly.

"Horse-drawn wagons are too expensive, and too extravagant to transport sand and gravel alone, and it is fitting to use them on two wheels, which can be used for other purposes when the roads are repaired. ”

Lu Bin listened to the words of the buyer Derek, and couldn't help nodding secretly, quite satisfied with his far-sighted vision and business acumen.

Nina Wild knew a little about this, but not as deeply as the two of them, so she sat quietly except for the occasional interjection, and seemed to be very cultured.

In the end, Lu Bin and Derek were ready to try to make a few board trucks, and she finally couldn't help but remind: "Once this kind of two-wheeled board car is practical and praised, will it cause dissatisfaction among the goods operators?"

Lu Bin was silent for a rare moment, then came to his senses, and shook his head gently: "It shouldn't be!" Due to the lack of steel bearings, the wear and tear of the board car will be very large, more than the four-wheeled freight carriage, as long as the person who can calculate the account knows the pros and cons. ”

Derek immediately picked up the topic: "Two-wheeled carts, that is, have a comparative advantage in short-distance transportation within the town. If it comes to long distances, it is more advantageous to have a four-wheeled freight carriage, after all, the drag and pull of a horse is enough to top three to six ordinary people, and if it is an ox ploughing the field, it is at least ten people. ”

Lu Bin frowned slightly, and immediately remembered a kind of agricultural tool, horse-drawn plow, from the words carriage and ploughing cattle, but even the heavy horse pull force cannot be compared with cattle, and the omnivorous performance of cattle is suitable for a variety of feeds, as for horses, they are relatively squeamish.

He immediately cut off this idea, and before he knew the agricultural model of the North, any knowledge before crossing over time should be used carefully, and try not to expose creations far ahead of his time.

The prototype of the two-wheeled scooter was very successful, and the buyer, Derek, was able to easily buy enough wheels, hardwood axles and fasteners, although very tight, he was able to use his connections to get his hands on them.

Lu Bin looked at the iron-clad wheels, the spokes were full of rivets and fixed, and there may be disdain in his heart, but more admiration.

The group of people who pioneered Blackwater Town rode in this kind of caravan, carrying the hope of a new life to the barren wilderness, reclaiming the hillside woodland, and establishing its great foundation.

Lu Bin determines the spacing between the two wheels of the board car according to the distance of the road ruts, and then places the main body of the board car on the top, which is almost a wooden box without cover three meters long and one meter wide, with a fixed axle groove nailed at the bottom, and a thick layer of grease and oil is applied to keep the contact surface with the axle lubricated.

When the newly-born two-wheeled cart, laden with gravel extracted from the warehouse, struggled to "crawl" slowly through the ruts, although no one around spoke, there were a few low-pitched sneers.

The veterans of the goods and carriages in Blackwater Town were also among the onlookers, but they stared at the two-wheeled scooter in surprise and couldn't take their eyes off it.

After all, how heavy a cart full of gravel weighs, and they know best that there is only one person towed in front of them, and the cost is simply incomparable compared to the same horse.

Lu Bin looked at the speed of the two-wheeled cart slightly faster than the turtle, and immediately signaled to the buyer Derek. After getting his permission, Lu Bin stretched out his hand to greet a young and strong hired man, and lowered his voice to tell him what to do.

Subsequently, everyone saw the two-wheeled car, dragged in front of someone, pushed by someone behind, the speed immediately went up a step, and after the running-in period between the axle and the axle groove, the speed of rotation gradually became smooth.

The two hired men pulled the gravel-laden carriage out of view almost at trotting speed, and at last they could no longer stop, almost propelled forward by the inertia of the carriage itself.

"It's done!"

Derek laughed, as if he was responsible for the construction of this section of the road, and would not be delayed by the transportation of sand and gravel.

Lu Bin looked at the onlookers nearby, the disdain and disdain just now became dumbfounded, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Even if I don't use spells and cheat, I can use my knowledge to hang you for three days and three nights!"

With the experience just now, the birth of the second two-wheeled board car is much faster, and the run-in of the axle and axle groove is also completed by a special person in advance before assembly, so it can run fast after being loaded with sand and gravel after "off the assembly line".

Seeing this scene, it was not only the old-fashioned restlessness of the goods operation and the carriage and horse dealership, but even the steward in charge of these two industries couldn't sit still.

They all have a close relationship with the lord to be able to handle such a lucrative and stable business in Blackwater Town, the pioneer territory, and the people with deep roots have been with him as early as when Nell Austin ran the gray business, and the guards accompanying the car are all veterans who retired due to disability during the pioneer period, and because of their experience, they are more skilled in combat.

It's just that small actions in private are okay to deal with ordinary people, but it's not enough to deal with the two people in front of them.

One of them was a veteran purchaser, the Venerable Earl Conrad from Baggen-Utunburg, a key supporter of the lord, and the other was the mage Lord Rez, who had just walked through the Vigilant Eye Church, and was said to be of extraordinary strength.

If they can't come to the yin, then they can only go to the open and have a direct showdown -- they want to monopolize the two-wheeled carriage, a new means of transportation with great potential.

Lu Bin didn't think about it, and refused: "No!"
