Episode (9) Hot-blooded fools and towards the royal capital
Ai Xue heard Kaos's screams, and there was no movement in the vicinity after that
"They didn't die, they stayed in the car. After leaving two short sentences, the boy left.
Still worried about Ike's condition, Ai Xue carefully stepped out of the carriage, knife in hand, and kept an eye on her surroundings.
......
Seeing the figure of Ai Xue, who was taking care of Ike and Kaos, Duren's heart was completely relieved.
"These hateful thieves are dead and clean. The boy and Duren mended the knives on the ground one by one.
Ike tried to stand up and block Ai Xue from seeing such a scene, but Ai Xue held her down. "I can't be so useless, I have been hiding behind my brother's back, blindly being protected. Even if it can't help, at least let me face it. Ai Xue's voice trembled a little, and it was not difficult to see that she was holding back her unhappiness.
Zero, who has never seen a bloody scene outside the game, is naturally scared to death. Maybe he can't die, but it's clear that his friend has just brushed shoulders with death. Zero probably won't be looking forward to a thief giving away experience and gold for nothing.
"Forget jΓ¬ introduced himself. I'm Art of the Kassel City Guard, a Level 3 warrior, and this time I infiltrated the gang of thieves to find out their lair and then eliminate them in one fell swoop. Thank you so much, I only learned that their boss was also level 3 when I entered the thieves' den, and without Mr. Duren's help, when I escaped and called for help, I guess they should have rolled up and run away. β
Kaos, gradually waking up, saw a familiar figure in front of him. "You bastard, let you slap me in the face!"
Duren hurriedly stepped forward to stop it and immediately explained what had happened.
"Thank you for saving me, Che. Art didn't care at all about Kaos's perfunctory thanks.
He took out a slender tube from his arms, opened the upper and lower lids, and pulled the ring from one end, and a red flame flare rose into the night sky.
"What is this?" everyone couldn't help but be a little curious because they saw it for the first time.
"Flares, the vanguard of the Kassel City Guard will be here as soon as possible. Let's wait here. β
The coachman died, the horses were gone, and the carriage was useless. The summer heat has gradually dissipated, and the nights are no longer sultry, but occasionally cool.
In less than 2 hours, I saw a figure rushing towards me.
"What's the situation?"
"Art, you kid, what are you doing here?" said the comer, expressing displeasure with someone.
"I've found a gang of thieves, I'll lead the way, it's over there! By the way, there are a few people over there, and they've helped, but the coachman and the horses are gone, so take them back to Kassel." β
"Stinky boy, don't try to command us!" That being said, they did as Art had instructed.
The crotches of the four people are all wind wolves, and the biggest specialty of this level 3 magical beast is that it can run fast, even if it is seriously injured, it can outrun the average level 3 human warrior. Ike Aixue sat together, Kaosduren together, and was led to the city of Casel in front of them. Art and the other two walked in the other direction.
So when they arrived in Kassel, they slept in the camp of the city guard for the night until the sun rose again.

"Well done, Art. β
"Captain, if I'm not mistaken, you're complimenting me for the second time this time. β
"Oh, when was the first time, how I don't remember. The captain closed his eyes and thought about it, and then his eyes widened angrily, "However, do you know how many times you have violated the rules?!
β...... But shouldn't we reach out to everyone who needs help?"
"You don't care about your work! And the red signal flare last night, people who don't know still think it's an enemy attack, and I TM knows that it's your kid who makes two mistakes, and every time he gets the wrong color!"
β...... So, the prize money this time?"
"It's gone! The things that were shipped back yesterday are kind of worth your demerits. β
"Isn't it......?
"These thieves are like weeds in the wilderness, burning and growing. Even if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it's better to curb it. Speaking of stinky boy, how did you get in?"
"I just went out of the city, found their people, and then paid 20 silver dues, and let me join the gang, as if it was called a weed or a dog's tail grass thieves, probably so, I can't remember the name. β
"That's it...... Is that simple?" the captain was a little over.
"yes. β
"Forget it, you go down, take a day off today and go to accompany the guests. β
Art left the captain's room, and said secretly in his heart: "Fortunately, I secretly brought 2 gold coins with me when I left yesterday, otherwise I would have lost a lot." β
Yat, who led the crowd out of the camp, acted as a tour guide, "Kassel is the largest industrial city on the continent, because the factories here produce large steam engines and trains. 100 years ago, the advent of the steam engine turned our kingdom upside down!"
[It seems that the wish to see the Gundam particle cannon or something has been frustrated......] In Zero's consciousness, a small person is squatting in the corner and drawing circles......
Although Ike Aixue is a little confused, the appearance of the steam engine has a huge impact, and I have a deep understanding. Without the invention of the steam engine, human beings on Earth would not have moved from ancient civilization to modern society. It was the emergence of this thing in the West that made the Qing government of China 200 years later defeated. However, since this is an era in which the mainstream is still martial arts and magic, then at present, technology will not play a dominant role in leading the world, and at most it will improve the productivity of a kingdom.
"Actually, I haven't been in these factories either, and it is said that the contents will involve the secrets of the kingdom, and ordinary laborers can only see the tip of the iceberg. But it's said that those machines are quite complicated, haha, I can't learn them. Only those who have graduated from Colles can truly grasp the mysteries of the Liber workshop after a few years of further study at the Liber Workshop.
"See the tall chimneys? The smoke coming out of them is from the burning of black flints. In the past, people could only use it to make fires for heating and cooking, but now it is a precious resource, and fortunately, it is everywhere in our country, which is not fertile. The black flints of the country are transported by train to major industrial cities, and every day they create a huge fortune. Unfortunately, people were told by the church that inhaling smoke is bad for their health, and people moved to live away from the factory, which looked a little bleak.
"Look at the towers over there, it is because of them that the iron tools of our kingdom are so cheap that people in remote villages can also use iron pots and iron knives. Trains transported the smelted iron to the big cities, where merchants sold it to blacksmiths everywhere. The best quality iron from Kassel is used to make steam engines, trains, or transported to workshops to make guns!
"If you go further, you'll see the Kassel train station. β
Art raised his head proudly, and simply recited his lines fluently like a fool:
"There is a special route connecting the whole country, and the train that will leave for the royal capital in a day will stop!"
