Chapter 243 Chapter 7.25 Knight, Dragon Knight
In April 3579 of the Fengfu calendar, outside the southwestern border of the Northern Industrial Territory, a mechanical motorcycle rider was running on a wild road. The tires of the motorcycle he sat on were almost as big as the tires of a tractor. This was an off-road motorcycle.
~
This knight was very stable during the race, and the saddle under his buttocks was suspended by magnetic levitation.
Robin is an industrial knight in the Northern Territory. In recent years, with the development of industrialization, the pass rate of knights' assessments has increased a lot.
However, the complexity of the assessment has also greatly increased.
In addition to ensuring eight hours of basic sleep every day, there are ten hours of physical training, and various nutrients are supplemented according to the most scientific plan.
Cultural courses are also assessed. Although you don't have to be able to prepare runes to release arcane magic like a regular rune arcane master, you have to understand the 127 sets of basic runes and be able to see through the energy guide released by arcane magic.
Otherwise, if there is something wrong with your motorcycle, it can be fixed by just connecting the lines a little bit, so it's not necessary to send it back to the mechanical department for repair.
As for moral cultivation, oh, Master Wei is very tolerant of this. He did not suppress it with feudal patriarchy. He just followed the discipline system of the industrial age and used integrity records to constrain it.
The knights were on duty in the industrial zone every day to undertake firefighting and rescue work, and each knight team had received banners.
Compared with the knight masters in the south, the young knights in the north are very down-to-earth.
~
Robin has now left the northern territory and headed southwest. Along the way, the surrounding carriages were amazed at his car.
Robin silently judged: "The gap between our (north) development and the south in the past few years has become larger and larger."
After walking another 100 kilometers, Robin asked the sky navigation to find a shortcut, and Robin turned the motorcycle halfway.
As a result, half an hour later, Robin cursed the navigation system because the shortcut was a muddy road.
The steel wheels of his motorcycle had to eject manganese steel sheets to enhance the off-road capability.
After the motorcycle was driven like this, a lot of mud was thrown on him, and the originally majestic black protective suit instantly turned into a terracotta warrior.
The material of his protective suit is a rubber-steel composite material and a ceramic shell. It is the lightest and most effective heavy armor after a lot of testing, and its appearance is full of technology.
As for now?
Robin cursed, this is not a road, it's just a wild boar off-road.
But he has to go on the road selected by the navigation. He activated the dustproof device to protect the high-precision structure of the motorcycle, and the whole motorcycle clicked out of the streamlined shell, and the heat dissipation activated the water-cooled rune. The two small holes at the tail sprayed white steam and continued to rush towards the destination.
~
When he arrived in the south,
When he turned on the communicator on the motorcycle again, the mechanical maintenance technicians in the northern command center laughed when they saw him like this.
Of course, he signaled him to arrive at the nearest support area for maintenance.
Robin Knight's current mission is to go to Egg. ——Investigate in the many coastal city-states of the crescent-shaped peninsula where the fine snow territory is located.
Including him, there are a total of 25 knights in the north, starting from different road networks, and finally converging in the largest city. This is why some people are matched with bad roads.
According to Master Wei's concept: no matter what road, someone needs to walk it once, so that there will be room for choice when encountering emergencies.
~
As for the need to let as many as 25 knights come here,
it is because in the 3579th year of Fengfu calendar, many kingdom knights disappeared inexplicably in Xixue territory, and the capital has obviously investigated it.
But now the right to handle this matter has been handed over to the northern territory. That is, the king personally wrote a letter and handed it to his nephew, Carret.
In Carret's opinion, the tone is probably like an elder urging marriage, asking to go to the peninsula territory to marry the female lord there and inherit the land. ——That is the best friend introduced by Luo Shan that year.
Carret didn't listen to the king's urging marriage at all, but this territory is a good springboard for industrial and economic expansion. The system reminded me last year to be prepared for expansion.
So, I sent the knights to investigate first. For Carret, if he wants to obtain the governance of a certain territory, he doesn't need to consider selling himself to obtain the inheritance right.
Today, Carret has completed industrial centralization in the northern territory. All the nobles below are obedient.
Under the Industrial Governance Code, the privileges of the nobles can only be displayed in their own manors.
Carret is very clear about his needs. He only needs to promote the industrial order recognized by everyone. As for the privileges of the nobles, they are not necessary for him.
However, if the inheritance of the territory can reduce resistance during the expansion process, Carret is willing to spend some effort.
For example, the twenty-five knights selected by Carret are all people with good character, good looks, and abilities.
Wei Keng: "It should be, it seems, that the countess of this territory will like them."
The system supervisors are quite satisfied with Wei Keng's way of "tempting beauty and sending it down to his subordinates layer by layer". Praise: "Clear-minded and stick to your job."
Of course, the first premise of all this is that "there is nothing wrong with this countess."
For his own knights, Carret would occasionally ask them to scout the cesspool, but he would never let them jump into the fire pit. The abnormal situation in Xixue Territory must be clarified.
Carret stared at Xixue Territory with a helpless look: "I have high-quality men here. After entering the imperial capital in the future, they will give resources to my cousins. After the constitutional system, the regent of the Egg Empire should be born in the north and experienced the reformers of the industrial age."
~
This - Luo Shan could never have dreamed that the method she used to recommend her bestie to Carret would be copied and reproduced by Master Wei.
Carret: "You are allowed to have a bestie, but I am not allowed to have a fanboy?"
From the definition of the concept of "industry", there is room for all aspects. Wei Keng is not the kind of "eat all and occupy all" personality.
When Carret is sure that he has a bright path and is glorious enough, there is no need to occupy the throne. ——Occupying everything may hinder the main goal.
The development of industry must break the feudal hierarchy. As the founder of industry, he inherited the throne of the Xingche family with the halo of industrial development, which was equivalent to strengthening the feudal hierarchy.
So. Carrett placed the historical figures of this stage at the breakthrough point of the poor knights.
~
In the territory of Otland, Carrett wore homespun clothes and sneaked into the city first.
After looking in the mirror, he applied a little strong tea juice on his face, and it soon turned brown and yellow. Then, he applied a light latex on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, so that when the glue dried, wrinkles would form.
Putting on a ragged piece of clothing, Carrett soon became a middle-aged man.
Carret asked Grace, "Look, I don't have any flaws now, right?"
As a hero of the legion, Grace has a keen sense of spies. He said to Master Ka, "Your face has changed a lot, but it doesn't match your current clothes. The clothes you are wearing now are the clothes of the lower-middle-class residents in the city. Their complexion is not only dark brown, but they should also have scars on their hands and pits on their faces left by mosquito bites."
Carret nodded and gave the legion leader a thumbs up.
Then he changed into the clothes of a small businessman and asked, "Does it match?"
Grace: "There are only a limited number of small businessmen in a region, and small businessmen are the most well-informed. It's not good for you to suddenly appear in this identity."
Carret: "..."
Grace: "Your Highness, you have a good chat with ordinary people in your own territory. But you are still extraordinary. You'd better visit the lord here in a normal manner. If you really want to hide, then use magic to cover your whereabouts."
Carret paused, changed into another set of clothes and said, "Let's take a look at this territory from multiple perspectives. More accurate. "
Carret raised his hand and clicked on the map: "The capital has inexplicably thrown out such a large territory. This territory is a piece of fat meat for all nobles. Now it is given to me, and I always feel that it is a bit abnormal. "
Grace: "Can it be understood that the king wants to smoothly pass on the position of heir?"
Carret: "Maybe this is the case, but! What if it is not? For me, the right of inheritance is nothing. But in the cause of industrial development, I will not allow any external factors to interfere."
~
At the same time,
The king was looking at the intelligence - the news that the knights in the northern industrial territory had already gone south on various routes. The king walked silently to the bookshelf, and the bookshelf rotated to reveal a secret room entrance, and he walked in. The lights in the secret room also flickered.
Clang, when the harsh bell rang, the pointer pointed to a special value.
There was a mirror in front of the king, and the face of a high-level wizard appeared on the mirror.
Mage: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Borans has confirmed that you have fulfilled the contract, and he agrees to release a group of your knights first."
A contract on a huge scale flashed in front of the king. The contract flashed along the lines of the scales.
The king said: "If this blue dragon wants to occupy the peninsula for a long time, it should bear the heavy responsibility of the empire's defense against the sea people."
Mage: "Yes, Your Majesty, in the contract, His Majesty Borans attaches great importance to the prosperity of his territory."
The king closed his eyes and said: "My nephew is in the north. You can ask him for ransom, but you can't hurt him."
The mage said: "As you think, but your nephew is very cautious. He didn't go directly to the peninsula to succeed."
~
Here, in the Xixue Territory, the mechanical motorcycle knights of the northern territory have assembled.
Grace, the legion commander, led through magic communication. These guys went to the ports on the peninsula territory in groups of five, and discussed the details of the investigation in different regions.
And Karit has also blended into the city. He wears an apron and pulls a cart. He sells fried dough sticks in the morning and pancakes and spicy hot pot at noon in the market in the commercial district. He has also blended into this city.
The situation that Grace said Karit is out of tune with the small businessmen. He is compensated by decades of old craftsmanship.
Look, a pancake is condensed into skin on the iron plate by the batter, and then the egg is used to "gild" the pancake, spread with sweet noodle sauce, put fried dough sticks and pickled mustard on it, and finally sprinkle with fried fish paste strips. The operation is smooth and completed in two minutes. This is an old craftsman who has been passed down from generation to generation.
After setting up the stall for a week, the business was very good. At first, merchants came to buy, and then servants from unknown families lined up to pack dozens of copies each time.
~
During the process of setting up the stall, Carrett went through a lot of three-ring spells to spy on his mind, and gradually learned a lot of information.
There was a piece of information that made Carrett feel very important.
That is, the countess in this territory has two states. At some times, she would often go in and out of various businesses and be very friendly, but sometimes she would be seen in the room with a sad face, as if she was worried.
According to the old routine of Journey to the West, Wei Keng's first reaction was that the countess's identity should have been usurped by something.
Wei Keng: "The nine-tailed fox replaced Daji, Sun Wukong replaced Gao Cuilian, and what about this world?"
~
Carrett found Grace,
Grace also quickly gave Wei Keng a message.
Grace: "Your Highness, there is the breath of a five-colored dragon here."
Carrett speculated while checking the information: "Five-colored dragons, oh, they are either chaotic evil or lawful evil. Hey, those who have mixed into the human area should be lawful evil. Lawful evil is green dragons and blue dragons. Grace, this is not a desert or a jungle. Which one do you think it might be?"
Grace: "I expect it might be a green dragon. Green dragons like to enslave creatures by various means."
Carrett nodded, and then asked with a strange look on his face: "If it is a dragon, then the missing knights in the kingdom should be?"
Grace: "Green dragons are used to human-like slaves, and only red dragons like to eat human flesh." Wei Keng nodded and added: "Red dragons urge villagers to sacrifice girls."
But no matter which kind of dragon it is, this territory is now tacitly recognized by Master Wei Keng. Those who dare to compete with Master Wei for territory must be dogs for him to survive.
But this dragon seems to be female.
~
Carret looked at the tall, handsome Grace,
coughed, and began to sort out the topic. Such a serious attitude made Grace feel something, and he stared at Carret.
Wei Keng: "According to my speculation, the knights of the kingdom are always missing. Could it be a female dragon? Well, I want it. Well~~Haha, every race has a dragon vein sorcerer. So, could it be a male who likes young people?"
Grace: "Your Highness, please speak directly."
Carret: "I think a knight with excellent temperament and tall stature should be the pioneer~ As for this crucial candidate, Robin and the others are too young."
Grace: "Your Highness, you want to visit in person. So you want to know about the etiquette of the nobles, right?~ Your demeanor has always been hidden in the dust, but I believe~"
Carret was a little confused by the preemptive strike of the dragon knight, but after reacting: "Grace, this, I think you have experience in dealing with dragons, so~"
Grace said solemnly: "Your Highness, after the dragon knight signs a contract with the dragon, he will be loyal."
Carret paused: "I won't let you be taken advantage of, and I will discuss your dragon."
Without waiting for Grace to stop him, Carret immediately opened the communication with the bronze dragon.
The bronze dragon seemed to have just finished showering in the molten iron of the blast furnace. This sauna made it feel comfortable and shiny. It was resting on a pile of hardware products in the factory. Its metal-textured membrane wings were spread on the metal products like gold foil.
After hearing Carret's request, the bronze dragon immediately became interested. He covered his big mouth with his left paw, which was covered with a large nut that he found from nowhere: "Female dragon? Oh, Lord Grace is going to seduce~ Well, confront the five-colored dragon head-on. Oh~ My knight has always been very brave, Your Majesty, please believe Grace, he can do it. Awoo~" After saying that, he pulled out the dragon spear of his own knight with his right paw and waved it as a cheering stick.
On the bronze dragon side, he silently ignored the angry reprimand sent by Grace through the contract,
and added a key information to Carret.
Bronze dragon: "Your Majesty Carret, you are a little wrong in the title. I am a male dragon."
