Chapter 491: Old Knowledge
"Actually, you're afraid of loneliness, aren't you?"
On the river in winter, someone is lazily basking in the sun. On the table next to him, there is a ...... that has been getting along for more than a month. Weapons, crate cuts.
Hearing someone's exclamation, he said in an excited tone, "How could I be lonely? That feeling doesn't make sense to me and others. ”
"yes." After sighing, Lin didn't continue to tease the box. After more than a month of getting along, Lin also figured out the character of this sword. To put it simply, it is extremely insecure. Just like a baby, they use their cries to attract the attention of adults, and they also use cries to convey various messages. In order to draw attention to its presence, it will only keep talking.
And this sense of insecurity can be eliminated. In the Dream Magic Tower, the 'enlightenment' between the fat house and the two incarnations of the middle two, as well as the interaction with everyone, when the insecurity gradually disappears, the box also learns to cooperate with other people's routines to carry out the activity of 'chatting'. It's no longer about grabbing each other's ears when you see someone, you have to say a bunch of things to the other person. Of course, it doesn't have hands, that's just a description......
As long as you know how to control it, at least don't insist on transmitting the sound into other people's ears when they are sleeping, it is a good companion to get along with. For Lin, it is also the second partner besides Fen who can discuss with each other in terms of knowledge.
Compared to the Silverbeard Dwarf who is biased, or the two apprentices who are limited by the learning speed of normal people, the box cut relies on the browser formation on the sword body to access the virtual network world of the forum, as well as the exclusive block opened by Lin for the two apprentices and the lich, and quickly absorbs the knowledge content that Lin opened up to it, those from the earth.
However, there is a lot of research on the combination of science and mystery, because Fen is involved in it, and Lin did not rashly open that part without the lich's consent, especially related to divine powers. This can be regarded as a hand, although someone doesn't think that the box cut has a chance to be funny, leak, and pull back.
"Attention on the port side, a big ship is approaching!"
The sailors, who stood on the mast and looked out, shouted at the people on board. Experienced sailors are sensitive to the direction of travel of ships on the water, and generally avoid the collision line if there is no specific purpose. So when they see that the boat is not going in the right direction, the people on the mast have to roar and warn them to pay attention.
According to the practice on the river, small boats let big boats, and downstream let go against the current; The main difference is that the control is more flexible, and the courtesy control is less flexible. So the helmsman quickly took control of the boat and veered to the right.
Then the sailors on the mast shouted again: "The big ship is to the left, and they are catching up." "As the direction of the ship is adjusted, the intention of the other side is quite obvious.
The captain who got the news immediately got out of the cabin and cursed: "What flag is the other party hanging?" Our ship is under the protection of the Marquis of Scientology, and there are unsightly water pirates who dare to provoke us in this place. ”
"Flag, unicorn!" The sailors on the mast sent back a message. All of a sudden, the captain's anger was extinguished.
They are still in the territory of the Vida Militarists. And the militaristic state has only one system of aristocracy, which uses unicorns as banners, and that is the Engels family of the Grand Duke of the North.
In line with the tradition of the militaristic state, it is normal for one person to fight and the whole family to take revenge. Therefore, as long as the other party dares to hang the unicorn flag, whether it is the Grand Duke of Engels or not, after provoking, he will have to face the full revenge of the Grand Duke's family.
"The other party signaled that we should stop the boat. They're going to board the ship. The sailors on the mast shouted again. This made the captain's heart cold. It's usually not a good thing to ask for a change of boat on the water when you have something to do and ask for a boat to board a boat.
Thinking about the small talk with the distinguished guests on the ship in the past two months, and all the things that happened to the magician, even if he didn't ask directly, he probably knew what the reason was.
If you wanted to trouble that magician before, you could just look for it yourself. The Marquis of Scientology could deter other defeated nobles from trying to anger a small shipowner and the sailors who worked on it. But if the opponent is replaced by a duke, the captain will not have that confidence.
But he didn't dare to offend the duke, and he didn't dare to offend the people on the ship either. These days, seeing them repel several waves of enemies against them, or the occasional water pirates on the river, that strength is not their own sailors with swords, there is a way to deal with them. Luckily, the magician who took the lead was negotiable, so the captain approached someone who was basking in the sun and told him the truth.
"Ask them to get on board. If it had something to do with us, it wouldn't make it difficult for you. Lin responded.
The reason for this decision was that when the sailors on the mast shouted, he also paid a little attention to this group of uninvited guests.
First of all, the opponent is a three-masted warship, which is not yet fully sailed, but it is also much faster than its own. If you want to run, as long as you don't use magic to help you, you won't be able to outrun the other party. Even with the help of magic, it is only for a while. If the other party seriously wants to chase, in the long run, it will not be possible to run away on the waterway, unless you find an opportunity to change to the land route.
Secondly, the other side does not look like it is in a state of readiness.
A pursuit on the river is not like a pursuit at sea, and a chase can catch up for several days. Limited by the river, you either go upstream or downstream, and if you are lucky there are tributaries to go. And the opponent either chases or blocks it, and is basically targeted by the fast one, and he can't run away. So if the opponent was going to have a gang fight, the Soldier should be ready now, but the opponent didn't.
Finally, on the boat opposite, there seems to be a familiar face? Because it's still a bit far away, someone can't see it clearly if they simply use detection magic, unless they call up the arcane eye's information. However, the other party is coming for himself, and sooner or later he will come into contact, so he will be too lazy to walk those few steps.
However, the commotion on the deck also seemed to be transmitted into the cabin. Originally, he was helping two apprentices who had not worked hard before, but Fen also walked out at this time, came to someone and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It seems that some of the great nobles want to get on our ship."
"Oh." Fen answered, and sat down on the chaise longue on the other side of the small table. Using magic to heat the tea on the small table, he poured himself a cup and sipped it.
Although she can do it with her strength, she can sometimes let go of all kinds of protective measures moderately, and experience the feeling brought by the environment around her, and she can have a feeling of living in it. This is someone's argument, and she knows it well. So it's nice to enjoy the cold in the winter and have a hot drink at the same time.
The wait was not long, and the warship, flying the unicorn flag, soon came to the pleasure boat. An acquaintance at the high side of the ship waved his hand from a distance and shouted, "Is Lord Tripwood on board?" "He's the White Sword Saint you've met in the tribe of the World Tree Wadwo, William? Greco. A member of the Ban Dove League, a genius who saw the Ring of Morbius and comprehended the Tai Chi Twisting Technique.
When I saw each other more than two years ago, we got along fairly well. Finally, I was tempted by someone's theory of alcoholism to look for the existence of rice, hoping to make a kind of wine that is suitable for warm drinking with rice as a raw material. I met here today, is it the original search for the fruit? Or did you help that big nobleman to be a lobbyist?
But it doesn't look like he's here to find trouble. Because according to his own understanding of that Sword Saint, he is a guy who is very afraid of trouble just like himself.
The two ships haven't been able to get closer, William? Greco jumped first. Excitedly rushed to someone, shook hands warmly, and said, "Your Excellency is indeed on this ship, and I have been sincerely looking forward to Your arrival for a long time. I found it, I found it, it should be the one you said it was. As he spoke, he drank in the shape of a wine glass with his right hand.
As soon as the original guess was confirmed, someone's gluttony was hooked. It's winter, and the wind on the river is particularly biting. If it weren't for the speed of the ship, they would have wanted to go back by land. If you could have a glass of warm wine now, it would be a great thing in life. Lin also responded with enthusiasm and asked, "I found rice." Could it be that even the wine is brewed? ”
"yes, I've been thinking about it for a while. However, no winemaker has ever made it with that kind of material, so I want to find you who has drunk it to evaluate whether it tastes the same as you imagined. ”
"Have you ever drunk it? What does it taste like? ”
"Very special taste. Especially when you drink it warm, it has the same taste as you said, and it has a taste that other wines can't match. ”
Someone was already so excited that he hurriedly asked, "Oh, do you have one on board?" ”
"Of course you're ready, just a wine companion."
"It's coming, it's coming." Rubbing his hands, Lin was angry, and he couldn't wait for the long-lost taste of wine.
Equally excited William? Greco still didn't wait for the two boats to come to the side, jumped directly over the river, and reached out to climb the ladder on the hull. With another exertion of his right hand, he climbed onto the deck of Engels' warship. At this time, the sailors of the two ships also threw their ropes, ready to bring the two ships closer.
Impatient William? Greco wanted to urge everyone to speed up and get the magician on the boat as soon as possible. Lin had already used the flashing technique to get on the big ship of Engels's family, and startled the guards standing on the boat.
However, when he got on the deck of the big ship, Lin noticed that behind the guard, there was a pair of young men and women dressed in fine clothes. Without waiting for someone to guess, came to the side William? Greco introduced: "Your Excellency Tripwood, this is the fifth male of the Grand Duke of Engels, William? Baron Engels. Next to him was his wife, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Huy. ”
Compared to the aristocratic baron, that Madame Nguyen attracted someone's attention even more. It can be seen that the other party is not the kind of pure obsessed human blood, but a Eurasian hybrid who has seen someone on Earth. In other words, there are yellow people on the other party's ancestors? And this very special name is not a fan style at all, but like a Vietnamese name from my hometown.
