Verse 129 - To the Imperial Capital

The Li sisters were hovering beside a round of mirrors, and according to the images projected by it, they occasionally wrote and drew on the low square table that swayed slightly as the four-wheeled carriage moved forward in the center of the spacious carriage.

Although the gallop was not very smooth, the brute tendon rubber block boiled by Dundot, a student who came from a wine inn, replaced the cushioning mechanism made of springs, which greatly reduced the bumps in the carriage.

When the three legions of the Republic of Portland were defeated, and the more than ten Slan legions that attacked like wolves drove back to the other side of the Ice Rock Mountains, the Li sisters and Lin Mo embarked on a journey to the imperial capital of Deland City.

On the way to the Imperial capital of Deran, a group of light cavalry escorted by a team of light cavalry, synchronously drawing maps not only maintains a good habit of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, but also can pass the boredom of a long journey.

The drawing tools consisted of thin, tough parchment, two wooden rulers, a triangular ruler, a hardwood compass, and a few pencils, and a military utility watch recovered from the members of the support team on the Portlander tunnel destruction mission was placed on the table to act as a compass.

Pencils are not the product of Earth's civilization, but were made by the twin sisters with graphite, charcoal powder, clay, gum, and some softer wood that had been dried.

In addition to the lack of beautiful paint and trademarks, there is not much difference from the pencils produced by regular manufacturers on the earth with industrial assembly lines, and even the thickness of the pen barrel and the density of the ink color written are not much different.

Because there was not much technical content in the first batch, after the first batch of standard one-foot-long pencils was produced in the first batch, this very convenient writing instrument was very unexpectedly welcomed by the civilian officials and spies in the war zone, and was used as the only magic weapon for shorthand and emergency writing.

As for the rubber, a few pieces of leftovers of the carriage shock absorbing mechanism, the flexible texture of the cow tendon block is enough to replace, and then mixed with other materials can make the cow tendon block more soft, and there is no difference from the real eraser, square. Flat, round, and shaped as you like.

As it became more and more popular, the biggest beneficiary of the pencil was not the Li sisters, but Lin Mo's childhood friend, Charlie, who used to be an ordinary town guard soldier in Cedar Town, nicknamed "Three Eyes".

With the dozens of gold coins given to him by Lin Mo as capital, he found a few reliable friends and opened a workshop specializing in the production of pencils in Li'an City, which was recaptured by the Slans, which can be regarded as a small livelihood and family business.

Every month, just the pencil orders for the Eastern Military District made a lot of money for the pencil workshop. And that's not even counting the merchants who swarm like swarms of sharks smelling blood.

Keen to grasp business opportunities, these men wielded money bags full of gold coins and rushed to sign contracts with pencil workshops, and sold pencils soaked in tung oil to improve holding comfort and aesthetics, with more and more elaborate barrels, and branded with the special trademark "2B", to various towns and cities in the Slan Empire and even other countries in the surrounding areas.

Lin Mo and the twin sisters didn't expect it at all, but they accidentally created a local tyrant, knowledge changes fate, maybe this is another true portrayal.

Lin Mo, who was casually maintaining the light mirror technique, sat on the siderail of the carriage, carefully reading the latest battle report and Dundot's interrogation report.

This inn boy can barely read and write two or three hundred words, but with the help of two teachers, it is not difficult to write a report, if you can read a thousand more words. It may be possible to cross the threshold of the enrollment class.

In a world where the general literacy rate is surprisingly low, and the common people are equal to the illiterate class, it is almost inconceivable for a commoner without any background to have the ability to read and write.

Once there is such an opportunity. Dundot, who was born in a wine inn, is like a different person, as if he is dying, learning all kinds of knowledge, and his gratitude to the two teachers is completely imprinted in his bones, even if he is willing to be a cow and a horse.

As a test and evaluation of the young man's talent. None of the two sisters intervened and interfered in the entire interrogation process, and they were completely left to the inn boy to operate from beginning to end, giving him free reins.

Unexpectedly. It didn't take much effort for Dundot to pry open the female assassin's empty mouth.

The methods used by the inn boys were incredible, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were wild roads, and they had never appeared in any textbook, and they were completely unheard of, and in fact Dundot was busy with unrelated tasks such as sharpening knives, slaughtering brute cattle, and cooking brute beef jerky for most of the day, and the whole interrogation process was not even half an hour.

But that's the case, the professional female assassin of the Dark Sanctuary was strangely and inexplicably distracted, completely lost her ability to resist, and answered all the questions honestly, even if she asked her measurements, most of them were frank and lenient, and most of the original confession made the results of this test pass or even excellent.

How could a dark elemental warfighter who was more resistant to the spiritual hypnotic method than other main elemental systems suddenly become so vulnerable, not to mention that he had not even been tortured from beginning to end.

"Looks like I recommended the right person!"

Lin Mo moved the stack of parchment paper in his hand slightly, and glanced at the young wine inn boy who was still busy tanning wild cowhide at the back of the carriage, with a stack of literacy cards cut out of parchment at his feet, he really didn't forget to learn to read and write.

The other party raised his head as if he was aware of it, and smiled shyly in response to the dragon knight's gaze.

The smiling tiger, the wolf in sheep's clothing or something, it's just weak.

The knight in front of him slowed his horse to the carriage and tapped lightly on the siderail of the carriage.

"Lord 'Heart', Lord 'Ice', Lord Morin, in front of us is the town of Lushan, where we will rest for a while tonight. ”

Li Muxin and Li Mubing glanced at each other, and then found the location of Lushan Town according to the seriously distorted old map, and then glanced at Lin Mo.

"Mr. Child, let it be up to you. ”

Childe was the leader of the cavalry team that escorted Lin Mo and the others to the imperial capital, and Lin Mo also nodded very politely and agreed to the other party's suggestion.

The cavalry leader Childe responded with a chest beating, sat up straight on his horse, clenched his fist in front of the gallop, and said loudly: "Lushan Town ahead!

Eleven hussars picked up speed at the same time as the carriage pulled by four horses.

"Someone's spying on us!"

Li Muxin said as if very casually.

Just now, a rapidly disappearing figure flashed in the center of the light mirror suspended in the carriage, and the position of the image was about 5 kilometers away from the carriage at two o'clock.

The figure captured in an instant, no matter how dressed or how he moved, it was impossible to hook up with the civilian, have you ever seen a civilian wearing a black cloak that covers his face, holding a white staff, and disappearing when he turns around?

The other party obviously discovered the existence of the Light Mirror Technique, but unexpectedly retreated at the first time.

The curtains on the left and right sides of the carriage were pulled down by Li Mubing, so that people outside could no longer see the people in the carriage.

"The Dark Sanctuary?"

Li Mubing thought of this name for the first time, and she couldn't help but look at Dundalt who was sitting in the back of the carriage.

Maybe it was the revenge provoked by the interrogation test a few days ago, the female assassin Kong Qisi and the original confession had been handed over to the Silan military, and what happened later, she and Lin Mo couldn't predict.

The student calmly put all the literacy cards into his arms, and pressed one hand on the handle of the knife on his waist, saying that it was a sharp weapon for self-defense, but rather a sharp kitchen knife.

The young face remained calm, and there was no trace of fear or fear.

"It maybe, but it doesn't have to be, maybe it's a Portlander, or maybe a Tessie. ”

In the past few days on the eastern border of the empire, Lin Mo has encountered not only the people of the Dark Sanctuary, but also the empty knights of the Tessie Empire, in addition to the Portlanders.

Whether on Earth or in this world, there are many people who want his life.

"It's probably for you, be careful!"

Li Muxin gently pushed over a pistol.

Nowadays, every bullet is missing, and the occasions when firearms can be used are basically life and death.

In the war between the Slans and the Portlanders, the twin sisters have been in the background, and with the unknown origin, it is difficult for other forces to find them even if they want to find trouble.

Dundot looked curiously at the Type 92 combat pistol in Li Muxin's hand, and listened to the two teachers introduce that the firearm is a special lethal weapon that uses chemical energy to burst out of mechanical destructive power, although the killing effect is considerable, but the bullet supply and spare parts replacement are fatal injuries.

"No, I believe more in my fists, well, and the fighting spirit. ”

Lin Mo smiled confidently, but pushed the pistol back.

The affinity of the talent element is insufficient, and the two sisters of the Li family, who lack sufficient combat power, need the protection of firearms more than him, especially in hand-to-hand combat, and a firearm that is unexpected may make the sword god suffer a big loss.

"Then you have to be careful!"

Li Muxin didn't insist too much, and his tone was full of concern.

The sisters are not pure combatants, and the individual combat style of this world world makes them completely ineffective, and it would be better if the top soldier king in the "Dark Night" special service team was here.

As long as they don't take the initiative to stand under the dangerous wall, the two sisters can still barely protect themselves.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mo, my sister and I will help you. ”

Sister Li Mubing took out a pistol and grenade and began to prepare for battle, she and her sister have experienced all kinds of dangers, and this little scene can't frighten her. (To be continued......)
