Chapter 32: The Fortress City

The two men arrived in a horse-drawn carriage to the coastal fortress city of Leipzig, where hundreds of 161-mm guns were built on the shore, interspersed with ravines and firing pads, and only a few wide main roads in the middle led to the coastal port.

The walls of the fortress city are towering like giant beasts lurking in the earth, and there are artificial rivers around them to transport goods, which can also be used as a line of defense if necessary.

Mu Yun observed that the level of technology in this era was roughly around the eighteenth century, but alchemy caused many subtle differences, such as the construction armor on the knights behind the carriage, which increased its hardness and constant cleanliness, and each set was worth a lot of money.

The horse-drawn carriages entered the city unhindered, and the first thing that caught your eye was the architectural features, the doors were very large, the number of windows was numerous, the seaside was damp, adequate ventilation was needed to avoid mold and other problems, and the fortress was strong enough to withstand the occasional storms.

The layout of the city was irregular and even deliberately intricate, in order to gain a geographical advantage in the event of a possible urban war, and Leipzig was the main supply ground for the Second Fleet of the Kingdom Navy.

Drainage facilities are well equipped, with excellent drains and greenery, and these internal garden meadows can greatly reduce the burden of water storage and drainage during heavy rainfall.

"In Leipzig, you need to pay extra attention to a couple of guys, Vice Admiral Flor, the logistics officer of the Second Fleet, who spends most of his time here in charge of the supply and operation.

Archon Meyer, who is in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the city, and his main job is to cooperate with the lieutenant general to ensure logistics.

There are also a few noble counts, as well as the Marquis of Nance, and we represent the local powers, providing some support to the navy while gaining some convenience. ”

Mu Yun asked, "Are the other counts only knight-level?" ”

Hemerber was a little speechless and explained: "Don't have too high a vision, in the transcendent rank, the knight level is already considered the backbone, and we are accurate senior knights, as for the big knight or the big wizard, even if he has no qualifications, he can also get the rank and status of a brigadier general by joining the navy, and the title knight is the pillar of the country, and there are only four in the Kingdom of Noel, but it is enough to lead the alliance of the three kingdoms against the empire."

Moreover, the level is not absolute, three years ago, there was a big knight who died in the siege of the heavy shield-type constructed cavalry, no matter how powerful the person is, there is a time when the energy is exhausted, once the fighting spirit is exhausted, the big knight is just a relatively hard stone. ”

Mu Yun nodded slowly, Chaofan abides by the law of conservation of energy, and game skills actually consume physical energy or energy, but he has not yet reached the point of exhaustion.

"At sea, broadside combat is more focused on agility, so only knights and above will wear armor, it is a harsh place with a high hierarchy, in the case of a long voyage, the captain has the power to kill all the crew, and the first mate, second officer and other logbooks submitted to the military department are a later story."

The carriage stopped in front of a sprawling garden villa.

At the door, an old man stood in the flowerbed and waited quietly, and when he saw the Earl returning with a young man, he smiled in surprise.

"This is Mr. Gerdorf, an official sorcerer of the alchemy department, and my father's butler." The Earl introduced in a solemn tone.

The old man asked the earl, "Ah He, you value him very much. ”

"Hmm."

The old man turned his head to look at Mu Yun: "When you bring important returns to the family for the first time, I can order a set of armor for you. ”

"I want the best."

"Haha, the old man is doing his best."

The two of them walked towards the villa, the current butler following behind them, and the old man stood at the door not waiting for them, but the earl's daughter, Elia.

Entering the study, a young man with heroic eyes was correcting documents at the desk, and when he heard the familiar footsteps, he said without raising his head:

"Father, if you let me keep an eye on the post again, I can only run away from home, and my sister can still go to the academy anyway, I forgot when I last attended a banquet."

"Get up, I've got something to do."

The Count kicked the young man, sat back in his chair and opened the drawers.

"Yo, who is this?"

Mu Yun pretended to make a new-learning greeting and said, "Loren-Isis." ”

The young man also returned the salute, and did not show disdain because of the other party's blunt etiquette, and the fact that he could bring the count into the study itself showed some problems, as for the identity of the other party's Isis, there were too many possibilities.

"Zorman-Isis."

Hemmer took out a bottle of black-and-red potion and three paper packets from the dark compartment of the drawer, pushed them onto the table, and said:

"I won't tell you the name of the potion, but the great wizard can indeed solve it, if you have that kind of luck, then I think it's okay to lose money, the onset of the poison is a week, you need to take a secondary antidote to temporarily suppress it, I will send someone to you in advance when you run out."

Mu Yun drank the black and red elixir without hesitation, and then reached out to put away the paper packet.

The young man muttered, "It's so simple. ”

Mu Yun replied: "It was originally expected. ”

Detoxification takes a lot of thought.

The Count bowed, and then removed a suitcase from the shelf, and there were several more like this.

"The knight's breathing method [Reflection of the Flag Dragon], the matching potion information and the identity of my brother's widow, and two hundred gold coins." After the earl finished speaking, he began to write a letter of recommendation, these things were prepared a long time ago, and the background of the big family was enough to deal with all kinds of problems.

Seeing this, the young man knew that this was a transaction, and the value of the other party was very high, [Reflection of the Flag Dragon] was a breathing method obtained by the third generation of Isis by chance, and the quality was comparable to the mainstream inheritance of the family, but it was shelved because there was no road after the Great Knight, and as for the navy to obtain those breathing methods with combat functions, it can only be regarded as leftovers.

"What did you mean by being named Loren?"

"If you can."

"Simple, I will arrange the trajectory of Loren's life, the identity of the posthumous son has never been revealed, as long as there is Isis's recognition."

Muyun took over his initial investment.

Hermerber gave his son a look, and the young man turned his head and smiled and said, "Cousin, do you want to stay for dinner?" ”

"I can't wait to see the sea."

Mu Yun said goodbye and left, and there was a carriage at the door to take him to the naval station.

After the guests left, the young man sat down in a chair and said, "Very beautiful fellow. ”

The Earl was examining the papers that had been reviewed by the other party, and replied, "Appearance is not such an important thing to a man, and he knows this to ask for a new opportunity." ”

"Can you stop preaching all the time, I'm just chatting, can't you feel your son's closeness?"

"Open the door, then get out."

"I've been doing your work for so many days."

"Remember to close the door."

The young man shrugged and left the study, and after a long time he got used to it.
