When it came to his encounter at the city gate, Jia Yi asked with some curiosity: "I think the defense here is quite tight, has it always been like this?"

Stone shook his head: "No, although there is a small road guarded here, this road is too narrow, and there are cliffs on both sides, which are too steep for the army to pass. The position here is very awkward, and the army can't pass through, but there is no way to defend, otherwise as long as an elite army breaks in from here, it will have a great impact on the rear. But it was guarded, and there were very few enemies coming from here. ”

The location here is really awkward, because it is not considered the front line, so there are few opportunities for meritorious service, and even if there is a big battle, there will rarely be an enemy army here as a breakthrough. It's not very well guarded, at least it used to be.

Stone shook his head and smiled bitterly as he spoke, feeling that he was unlucky to be assigned here, and it would be a waste to not be able to make meritorious contributions for the past three years.

"However, there have been some changes recently, our sentries have noticed that there is a movement on the opposite side, and they have gathered a lot of troops, and they don't know what to do, so they can only strengthen the security here. The new general here is very thoughtful, but he can train the old ** here. ”

The tone of his last words was a little inexplicable, as if he felt that the other party should waste his efforts, and there was a faint sense of admiration.

The new general offended people in Memphelbo, and he was assigned here, and if he couldn't make meritorious service, he would probably die here, so he reacted so much to the actions of the other side, and the entire castle was under martial law.

Stone didn't stay long before going back, Kaichi was going to fix here for two days, he usually likes to be quiet, but it doesn't mean that he likes to be alone in the wild, and sometimes he has to go to the town to suck a little "popularity".

The next morning, Stone came back again.

Seeing Jia Yi, he was a little embarrassed, and saluted and said, "Master Jia Yi, I take the liberty to visit, I have some questions I want to ask you, I have a calcium-burmese stone as a reward for disturbing you." ”

The other party was still a little apprehensive when he said it, afraid that Jia Yi would not accept it.

Jiayi is a powerful mage from the university, and being able to meet such a mage and seem to have a good temper is also an opportunity for Stone, and he doesn't want to let it go easily.

Jia Yi didn't mind, what he said was good to be a teacher, but in fact, he was also showing off a little.

The two went to Jiayi's room and sat down, Stone took out a gray-white stone the size of two fists and put it on the table in front of Jiayi, Jiayi reached out and picked it up, this thing looked like it was not small, but it was not as heavy as expected.

"Where did you find such a large piece of calcareous stone, and how did you pull this thing out?"

Calmese is believed to be a fossil of bird droppings, and the particles are generally relatively small, and it is rare to see such a large one.

Calcium Burmese is a good buffer, can be a good neutralization of the conflict between different materials, a wide range of applications, although not too valuable, but the general transaction is also in ounces, such a large piece, almost a pound, there are dozens of gold coins.

Especially as such a large piece, there is some collectible value.

Kaichi put the stone away, although it used to be poop, but it has long been a fossil, and now it can only be regarded as a stone.

"If you have any questions, I've been trying to configure some potions and some buffers lately. ”

"Master Jiayi, are you the same person as that Master Jiayi?" His first question was that it had nothing to do with magic, probably because he thought Jiayi's name was familiar, but he couldn't believe it.

"Which one?"

"It's the same Master Jiayi who came up with the telegraph theory. ”

Jia nodded in confirmation: "Yes, it's me." ”

"It's really you, Master Jiayi. Stone stood up in surprise and saluted, feeling like he had won a prize, "Your invention of the copper crystal telegraph and the theory of electromagnetic telegraph have helped us a lot, and now all the forts are equipped with telegraphs, and they are much more connected with each other, and the security is greatly increased." ”

After the advent of the telegraph, the fastest spread was in the military, especially on the borders.

Not only has the security of fortresses like Stone and them increased, but the central government's control over the army under its command has also been greatly enhanced, and there is no need to worry about the movement of the army after the army is dispersed.

Stone was a little reluctant to cut the large piece of calcium, and once thought about whether to cut the stone in half, but now he has no such idea at all, but feels that he has taken a big advantage. It's a bit like a regular ticket that I originally bought, but suddenly upgraded to a VIP ticket.

Jia Yi is not the kind of obscure person now, especially since the telegram is still related to the legendary mage, and people who are a little bit of a little bit are not unfamiliar with the name Jia Yi, but there are very few people who know what Jia Yi looks like.

Stone no longer wasted time, hurriedly hurried to ask questions, and asked Jiayi for advice.

Maybe it's a celebrity bonus, Stone always feels that Jia Yi cited the circumstantial evidence of the problem, and explained it very thoroughly, and the questions that he couldn't understand were said by Jia Yi and seemed to understand it immediately.

While the two were talking, suddenly there was a violent neighing of horses, mixed with the roar of a cow.

Jiayi stopped to listen, feeling that the voice was a little familiar, and Stone was a little annoyed, so there are not many opportunities to consult Jiayi, and being able to come here today does not mean that he can come next time, and it is impossible for Jiayi to stay in Sakhalin Fort for too long.

He paid such a large piece of calcarenate, of course, hoping that the benefits could be maximized.

Stone said, "Whose horse is this frightened?" ”

Jia Yi heard a bull roar again, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "This is Xiaoqing's roar, I'll go down and take a look." ”

As he spoke, he left Stone and hurriedly walked towards the stables in the backyard of the hotel, just now he thought he had heard it wrong, Xiaoqing's temper was good, but he didn't expect it to be really Xiaoqing's accident.

Stone followed Jia Yi to the backyard, and there were many people around the horse house in the distance, and there was a big green ox in the middle, and there was a handsome horse lying at his feet, but now it looked a little uncertain.

Walking a few steps closer and seeing the people surrounding Qingniu, the surprise on Stone's face couldn't be suppressed even if he wanted to: "General, why are you here?"

And they are surround Jiayi's mount here, what the hell are they trying to do?

Jia Yi also stepped forward and squeezed in from among the people who surrounded him, as if there was a layer of lubricating oil on his body, and no matter how small the gap was, it would be bigger, and he could easily squeeze in.

"What are you doing here?" Jia Yi turned his head and looked at the people surrounding Xiaoqing in front of him, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

A middle-aged man in his 30s on the opposite side stepped forward and said, "This is a mage from afar, I don't know why there is a cow here that injured my mount, this is a dragon horse with the blood of an earth-walking dragon." ”

Saying that, he was still a little distressed, and wanted to step forward, but he saw Xiaoqing screaming "moo~", which scared the other party.

Of course, the other party is not afraid of Xiaoqing, but his attitude towards Jiayi is a little uncertain.

Jia Yi stepped forward and took a closer look at Xiaoqing, who had two marks on her back, as if she had just been beaten.

Jia Yi turned his head angrily, mobilized the magic power around him to pull the magic elements in the surrounding air, and asked in a deep voice, "Xiaoqing is my mount, can anyone explain what is going on?"

As Kaichi spoke, the air around him seemed to be suppressed, and the people in front of him slowly turned red, as if they were drowning.

The middle-aged man who spoke just now was much stronger than the others, and he could still speak: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, it was my horse that provoked this sacred cow so he was beaten down, and he didn't mean to provoke." ”

Only then did Jia Yi dissolve the magic power that had gathered and listened to the other party's explanation.

This middle-aged man is the garrison general of this small castle, originally heard that a mage came to visit Jiayi, but he didn't expect that when he tied his mount to the stable, his mount and Xiaoqing clashed.

His mount has the blood of the earthly dragon, usually other horses dare not stand by its side, but I didn't expect to see Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing didn't seem to be afraid of it at all, which angered the horse, it wanted to go forward to teach Xiaoqing a lesson, but he didn't expect to be overturned by Xiaoqing, and then Xiaoqing was pressed to the ground and couldn't get up.

Understanding the cause and effect, Jia Yi asked Xiaoqing to let go of the horse, the horse was very strong when Xiaoqing was knocked down, the ribs on his body were broken, and it was no longer very neat to walk, but it still quickly escaped from Xiaoqing's side, and then hid behind his master on the opposite side, his head drooped, and he didn't dare to look at Xiaoqing again.

Xiaoqing did not suffer a loss in the contest between the mounts, but it was obvious that after the opponent's horse was overturned, the person on the opposite side couldn't hold back, and came up and gave Xiaoqing a few hard blows, and there were several marks on his body, fortunately, the other party did not use sharp weapons, otherwise Jiayi would not be so calm.

However, Jia Yi was still a little annoyed that the other party hurt Xiaoqing, took out a bottle of potion and threw it to Stone who was squeezing in, and then said: "That's it for today, if there is anything to talk about later, don't bring this kind of bad-tempered mount in the future." ”

The general on the opposite side was a little annoyed by Jia Yi's unreasonableness, but was quickly stopped by Stone, and the general couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart when he thought of Jia Yi's power just now.

He knew that there was a white-robed mage in the city, but ordinary white-robed mages never had such a level, and not a single spell was released, just by virtue of his momentum, it made people feel suffocated, making him feel that as long as the other party was willing, he could take his life at any time.

He didn't dare to say anything more, and was pulled by Stone, and walked away a little gray.
