"Goodbye, we'll see you later!"

"Cherish, have a nice trip!"

On a bright and sunny morning, Weis, Ling Lan and Adele, after saying goodbye to their friends who had come to see them off, boarded a passenger ship that was about to go to the Republic of Langson in Xiyan Continent. This is the first time that Weiss has set off for a developed country in his 16 years of life in this world, and it is also the first time he has gone to sea in nearly 40 years in his two lives, so he was somewhat excited, but Ling Lan on the side looked at the blue sea and sighed.

"Ling Lan, what's wrong with you, are you seasick?"

"No, I just don't really want to take a boat. ”

"Uh...... You don't like the sea?"

"Not really, I just don't like boats very much because of storms. ”

“......”x2

For a moment, Wess and Adele's heads were covered with sweat. Before, they heard that there was a passenger ferry that could go directly to Xiyanzhou, so they went to book a ticket in a hurry, forgetting that they were also accompanied by a spearman known as "Lucky E", and finally reacted at this time, but there was no chance to get off the ship.

"Ling Lan, are those talismans that Master Kabbalah gave you still there?"

"Yes!"

"Don't leave your body, please, don't leave your body!" because it was very important, so Weiss said solemnly twice.

The passenger ship "Laurel", which Weiss was aboard, was a regular business ship between two continents, and its passengers were mostly merchants, spies disguised as merchants, and smuggled refugees. Categorically, Weiss should be in the last category, but the identity of the pawn owner means that they don't have to hide in the dark bottom like other refugees.

As a passenger ship mainly used to transport wealthy merchants, the facilities on the Laurel are quite luxurious, and it is probably not an exaggeration to say that he is a cruise ship. However, because most of the passengers on this trip were scared back to China by the epidemic, most of them chose to hide in their guest rooms, and those who came out to breathe also wore masks, as if they were afraid of contracting germs.

"Don't say it, I really responded to that sentence, the richer you are, the more afraid you are of death, and everyone on a hot day is covered so tightly, and they are not afraid of covering prickly heat. Looking at the group of "Arabs" on the deck, Weisda despised them from the bottom of his heart.

The three of them leaned on the edge of the railing, chatting and enjoying the sea breeze. The well-informed Adele has been traveling everywhere since she became an adult, and she has visited all five continents, and she can't help but feel sorry for Nanfengzhou.

"When I first traveled 150 years ago, the Werther Empire of mankind had not yet been divided. Witte XXIII was a very talented emperor, and the country flourished under his rule, competing with the Eastern Zhou for the crown of 'the first power of mankind'. But it's a pity that the twenty-third generation, who has been wise all his life, committed Alzheimer's disease in the matter of choosing an heir, and chose the youngest son who would only make him happy to succeed him. And that young faint monarch only took 8 years to tear the once powerful empire apart. ”

Thinking of the "pervert emperor" who once shouted to conquer the world and include all the beauties in the world into her **, Adele couldn't help but pout.

At that time, Adele was participating in a local traditional food festival in the territory of the Witte Empire, and as a result, the emperor issued an order to arrest all the elves in the territory, regardless of men and women (later generations regarded this as evidence of the last faint king's surname fetish, and thus gave birth to many [***] works that are difficult to look at) and transferred them to the palace, Adele had to fight a bloody way home with her fellow clansmen, and the relationship between the two countries was also tense because of this incident.

"Adele, what about the Republic of Langson that we are going to? I heard that it is a very developed country. Weiss asked excitedly.

"Ronson? Hmm...... All I can say is that it was a magical country. ”

"Uh...... Why do you say that?" Wei Si and Ling Lan glanced at each other, both of them at a loss.

"In terms of technology alone, that country is really strong, there is nothing to say, and many fields are inferior even to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but ......"

"But what?" x2

“...... But that country is really weird!" Adele shrugged.

The Republic of Langson was founded 518 years ago by the six southwestern provinces of the Victor Empire. The country survived the "human turmoil" that lasted for 20 years, and finally became one of the only three remaining human countries in Xiyanzhou, which has existed until now!

Because of the small land area and the population is much lower than the other two countries in Xiyanzhou, the people of Langsen are clearly aware that once the "canyon defense line" is breached, the destruction of the country will only be in the day. For this reason, while they continue to consolidate the defense line, they are also trying to climb their own science and technology tree, and finally successfully developed the guiding technology in modern times, and walked to the forefront of the world in the field of technology, and the weapons and equipment used by the defense force are generally 5~10 years ahead of the empire and the federation!

This "short and lean" country feels a bit like Sweden or Israel on the other side of the world. With a land area of 800,000 square kilometers and a population of 45 million, it has stood tall for 500 years in front of two powerful countries with several times the population and land area of its own, and in recent years there have been signs of counter-pressure.

But even so, Adele still insisted on her evaluation of this country, and Wei Si and Ling Lan roughly understood the "wonderful" aspects of this country through her introduction!

It is true that this country is very technologically advanced in various fields, and even the Eastern Zhou, the number one power of mankind, often cooperates with it to jointly develop certain new technologies. But as I said before, the technology tree of this world has long grown into a "tentacle-shaped crooked neck pine" under the influence of that group of unscrupulous traversers, and the advancement of many things, even in the eyes of Weiss, is "advanced" and meaningless.

For example, a magical "fully automatic multi-functional dental flosser" has many functions such as tooth picking, nose picking, ear piercing, dandruff scratching, etc., Weiss really can't imagine how boring the person who invented this thing must be?

Among the many "scholars" of the Republic of Langson, the most famous is the university scholar Edward Elric, who is known as the "father of guidance" and "the embodiment of the craftsman god". The first time Weiss heard this name was when he was 5 years old, and what he wanted to do most was to "@" Hiroshi Arakawa and ask her what she thinks!

If nothing else, Weiss is almost 100% sure that this person is a traverser from the earth! But unlike those scum who only have a combat power of 5, this master is obviously a powerful faction with real talent and real learning, and even the luck value is the "EX+" level that breaks through the sky. One can't help but wonder, does he have the legendary "protagonist halo"?

At the age of 80, Edward is still the chief academician of the Langsen Institute of Science and Technology, and many of the weapons and equipment of the Wehrmacht are from him, such as the shock-absorbing armor used by the ODSTs in the E9 Comprehensive Test Corps and the "alien fireworks" set used by the flamethrowers, which were designed and named by him.

In addition to the military aspect, his contributions to the civilian field are also prominent, refrigerators, radios, projectors, cameras, and many high-tech products that could not be copied by the previous traverser have been realized by his efforts.

In the 60 years of his struggle, the first 10 years were used by him to perfect the "magic transformation technology" conceived by another time-traveler, and to build the first demonstration machine of the guide furnace, which successfully transformed the unstable magic power into stable "power" without the control of the magician, providing the initial power foundation for all subsequent inventions. The intervening 30 years were devoted to the development of infrastructure, which gave the Republic of Langson a certain amount of industrial production capacity.

And in the next 20 years, the old man who had all the conditions at hand began to "invent and create", so that Langsen and even the whole world only took 60 years to directly transition from the middle of the Renaissance level to the early level of World War II.

Fortunately, the time-traveler who provided the theoretical basis had peddled his theory everywhere because of his depressed life, so when the countries noticed a clue, they immediately ordered the spies to carry out operations, obtained some guiding furnaces and blueprints at a high price, and then let their own "scholars" carry out reverse engineering, and finally relied on the strength of the whole country to catch up, so that Langson was not left far behind.

"Any elven scholar must admit that the human channeling technology is a great invention, and the age of guidance will surely surpass the age of magic and the age of machinery, but ...... But a lot of human beings are not acting rationally, and they are indiscriminately applying this great technology to some strange places, which is simply a tyrannical thing!"

Thinking of some openly peddled gadgets on Langson Street, Adele felt that with her conservative three views, she couldn't accept it completely, but when Weiss heard her say this, she began to be a little interested.

While the three of them were chatting, a middle-aged man who looked a little bloated walked up to them and listened intently to their conversation. The other party was wearing a fat gray hooded robe and a large mask on his face, and his outfit was similar to that of the other passengers on the ship who were afraid of infection.

After this person came over, Weiss only glanced at it slightly and didn't pay any more attention, so that the other party just listened silently, occasionally nodding slightly. After listening for a moment, the man quietly turned around and prepared to leave, while Weiss noticed the pace of the other man's walk slightly, and showed a thoughtful expression.

ps: On the 28th, I went to a big city "Steel Ridge", and my classmates opened a barbecue restaurant there, and I only went back today, and then I opened the backstage of the starting point and found that next Wednesday Jiang ...... orz
