Chapter 8: The Border City

"There used to be three routes to the Far East, but now there are only two. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It was the middle of the night, and the two had been on their way for more than six hours. Mo Li sat in the driver's seat, driving the carriage. The girl sat in the carriage, pulled up the curtains, and chatted with him along the way.

Mo Li turned his head and saw that Lotie was sitting in a very comfortable position, without the reserved appearance of a princess at all. The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the girl's body, and the already delicate face was as perfect as a jade carving at this time.

The girl was wearing the "very good" dress brought by the vendor, except that the embroidery decoration was not so gorgeous, and the style was almost exactly the same as the original. The waist is still so slender, the skirt is still so short, and the high socks are as good as before, perfectly outlining the curves of the slender legs.

According to Rogie, this is the style of clothing of the women of the Blood Clan.

"In the past, the quickest route to the Far East was to follow the copper line, but after the mutation ten years ago, this was completely destroyed and could not be walked. The girl didn't know that Moli's attention had been drawn to herself, and she continued with the topic just now.

"Now when I go to the Far East, there is a road in the territory of the Blood Clan, and there is a road in the territory of the Morning Star Empire. Of course, we are on the path of the Bloods, and I have only walked this one in the past. However, this route has to pass through the border city of Berdel. ”

At this, the girl suddenly paused.

"What's wrong...... Yes. Mo Li was only halfway through the question, and he suddenly understood.

Now Rogie is no longer the acting head of the family, but the enemy of the whole blood clan. And Berdell, this city has a very unusual meaning for Rogie, especially for Rogie today.

That thing is famous. Shortly after the Anomaly in the Far East, the Morning Star Empire launched an attack on Bodel City. The city of Berdell was easy to attack and difficult to defend, on the side of the Blood Clan, there were vast mountains of the Thorntooth Mountains, with only a narrow mountain road in between, and on the side facing the Morning Star Empire, there was a plain of a horse. In the past, the Bloods were able to occupy the city because of the copper engraving line that bordered the Bloods of Birdel City. But that time, when the Cult of the Stars attacked, the Conjuretors Guild did not appear.

With absolute superiority in forces, the Morningstar Empire launched a siege on the city of Berdell. Due to the difficulty of rescue, the vast majority of the Bloods at that time preferred to abandon Berdel. Rogie submitted a proposal to the Blood Council to send troops to support Berdell, but it was rejected by the Council.

So, at that time, Rogie did something that shocked everyone. She led the only army she could use without passing the bill, the Red Iron Knights, to Birdel.

The heavy cavalry could not pass through the mountains, so Rogie told everyone to throw away their armor and lead their horses on foot. Due to the steep mountain path and the very high speed of the march, the Red Iron Knights lost a third of their horses, a tenth of their soldiers, and all their armor just by passing through the Thorntooth Mountains.

Present under the city of Berdell was a ragged, armourless, many, horseless "cavalry" that could only fight on foot. Twenty days had passed since the siege of Bordall.

Then Rogie led the army and charged at an enemy ten times their size.

In less than half a day, the army of the Morning Star Empire was defeated.

The siege of Bordall is lifted.

It can be said that everyone in Berdell was saved by Rogie. But now, if Rogie were there, what would be the reaction of the people and the army in Boddle City?

Even Mo Li didn't want to think about it, I'm afraid the girl was even more in such a mood.

Seeing Mo Li's reaction, Luo Ji immediately knew his thoughts.

"Do you know about the battle of Bird?" asked the girl softly.

"Yes. Mo Li smiled and said, "That blood smuggler told me when he was chatting. At that time, I was so enthusiastic that I wished that I was also a blood clan, and then join the Red Iron Knights to fight. ”

"I chased the dealer and asked a lot of questions, but he was also hearsay, and the more he talked about it, the more outrageous it became. By the way, he also said that the reason why the Red Iron Knights were able to win was because of their own strength, but more importantly, because the strength of the blood princess Luo Ji was too strong, and she easily crushed the bishops, archbishops and Templars of the Prayer Star Sect, causing the opposing army to be disheartened, and many soldiers even collapsed on the spot. ”

Mo Li continued to say to the girl, "That dealer is so fantastical that he describes you as if a demon god descended from heaven...... I thought at the time that if I had the opportunity in the future, I would definitely see what the blood princess was like. ”

He turned his head and saw that the girl had changed her position, and was lying lazily on her seat, like a beautiful and lazy cat.

"Are you really that powerful?" Mo Li couldn't help but ask.

Rogie blinked, smiling silently.

Mo Li gasped: "Could it be...... That peddler is telling the truth, right?"

Looking at Mo Li's surprised look, the girl finally said, "It's fake! He brags nonsense, how can I be so powerful." ”

"Oh......" For some reason, Mo Li was a little disappointed.

So he changed the subject: "How are you going to get through Bird?" though the easiest way is to disguise yourself and sneak through. But if you want to use it in other ways, I have no problem and will do my best to help you. ”

"I'm ready to walk in open. The girl said.

"Good. Moli nodded. "Then before entering Berdel, I'll take you to meet a puppet. ”

"Huh?"

"When you mentioned earlier that spells can unblock the blood, I thought of the person, who was just outside of Birdel near the copper carving line, and was a very interesting fellow. She has a little research on spells, and she may be able to undo some of them. Before entering Bird's Del City, might as well have you prepared in advance?"

"Very interesting guy...... The girl nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Male or female?"

"Uh......" Mo Li was stunned, but he didn't expect the other party to ask this question. However, in terms of physical characteristics alone, the puppets are indeed gender-specific.

"What's wrong, girl?" he asked rhetorically.

"Oh...... It's nothing. The girl smiled meaningfully and did not answer him.

......

Birdel is not that far away, and Moli estimates that at the current rate, it will only take three days to arrive. Aside from small talk, Rogie spends most of her time trying to undo the Blood, but nothing has been done.

Mo Li, on the other hand, has been doing one thing in his free time - reading "Principles of Mathematics".

The chapters of "Principles of Mathematics" are not long, but the content in them is simply incredible. After reading hard all night, he found that he really understood ...... There are only the first five lines of words.

It's not that the sentences are jerky and difficult to understand, but that what is said in it is not only unheard of for Mo Li, but even completely beyond his imagination.

From this short paragraph that he finally understood, he learned the so-called "Principles of Mathematics", which mainly studied something called "algorithm".

Algorithms are related to calculations. He is very familiar with calculations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and even power and square, which he can quickly complete. Moreover, I heard that among humans and bloods, there are even specialized scholars who study these things.

However, the algorithm is not a calculation, but a rule that abstracts and summarizes an extremely large number of calculations.

According to the Carved Stone, the process of burning the elements using Alchemy is actually a process that involves near-infinite calculations.

Because no one can do so many calculations, what the spell master does is to write "spells" using "spells", each of which is written using an algorithm principle that can lead a type of calculation, while hundreds or even thousands of spells are compiled into spells based on more complex algorithms.

Once the procedure is programmed, it can be easily performed. For example, burning copper, as long as the method of burning copper is called, hundreds of millions of calculations on burning copper can be automatically completed. The caster only needs to concentrate on the battle, not on the specific calculations.

But Mo Li is a puppet, and the way his spells are written has been stored in advance by the spell master into the Yanchang, and as long as he moves, the Yanchang will automatically generate the techniques he needs for him to call.

In other words, he doesn't really know how to make spells, but a spell master can.

But if you want to improve your strength, you must know how to compile the technique. For example, in order to improve the efficiency of the combustion element, it is necessary to modify the existing procedure and compile it into a more efficient one.

According to the Principles of Mathematics, this is called "algorithm optimization".

Except for the beginning, the rest of the chapter is devoted to how to compile the technique. But for Mo Li, these contents were too advanced for him, and they were useless. He didn't even know how to write talismans, nor did he know how to write them into spell orders, let alone make them into spell formulas.

To go down the road of alchemy, it is really not so simple. But he hadn't lost faith, he was just more eager than ever to reach the Far East, where he might find a more basic carved stone.

For the rest of the day, Moli tried to find something else he could understand from the carved stones, but found nothing.

The journey was uneventful. In the early morning of the third day, through the veil-like white mist, Mo Li saw the city stretching at the foot of the mountains in the distance, and the morning sun sprinkled down, dyeing the city with a layer of gold.

Berdel, right in front of you.
