Chapter 911 Let You Become a Real Headless Knight

Xingyue didn't say anything.

Zhao Chuanxin measured every corner of Pueblo LS Lagosa with his legs, trying to leave as many marks as possible here.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, he said: "It's time for us to return to the court."

Xingyue said: "No, we are going to the library."

"Where can we find a library when we are unfamiliar with the place and don't speak the language?"

"Just now, we passed by a place, and I detected that there are countless books in it."

"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to get back tonight."

"The amount of books in this library is worth wasting your faith power. Just teleport back to Ethan Manor at night."

Zhao Chuanxin weighed the pros and cons and felt that feeding Xingyue data and faith power were equally important.

However, when passing by the Santa Monica Monastery, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly smelled a unique fragrance.

It seemed that someone was cooking inside.

The outer walls of the Santa Monica Monastery are also covered with orange and blue-white ceramics. There are niches outside, and inside are the solemn and kind statues of the Virgin Mary.

Zhao Chuanxin looked around and found that no one was paying attention. He stepped on the candlestick in the niche and climbed over the wall. He had no reverence for the statue of the Virgin Mary.

Even if Jesus came, he had to give him face.

There was a fountain in the yard, and even the fountain was inlaid with colorful porcelain around it.

Zhao Chuanxin followed the fragrance and finally came to the kitchen of the Santa Monica Monastery.

The nuns inside were cooking, and the fragrance came from there.

Zhao Chuanxin coughed and walked in with his hands behind his back.

The nun with her head wrapped in the kitchen was very surprised to see Zhao Chuanxin, and she said something in a gibberish.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't understand. If it were someone else, they would have panicked at this time, but Zhao Chuanxin calmly pointed to the tortillas and the sauce next to them, indicating that the other party should prepare one for him.

The nun said something else, Zhao Chuanxin's face was serious, his eyebrows raised, and he said: "Hmm?"

Zhao Chuanxin showed that he was very dissatisfied with the other party's attitude, as if a superior was facing a subordinate, or as if a high-ranking official was visiting incognito... In short, judging from his momentum, he was definitely not an ordinary person, but I just couldn't figure out his origins.

Old Zhao was full of evil spirits, as the saying goes, Guan Gong doesn't open his eyes, but he opens his eyes to kill people. At this time, the nun was forced by Zhao Chuanxin's momentum, and she really didn't dare to say anything. She quickly rolled the pancake for Zhao Chuanxin and spread the sauce.

Zhao Chuanxin took the pancake, turned around and left, and snorted coldly.

After leaving the door, he immediately ran over the wall.

"Haha..."

This sauce contains walnuts, cream, chili and other ingredients, which is quite delicious.

The library Xingyue mentioned is called the Palafos Library, which was built nearly three hundred years ago.

The library has three floors. The gate is magnificent. The golden gate is carved with ornamental columns on both sides, and there is an eagle pattern on the lintel above.

There are Catholic symbols and local cultural imprints. The buildings here are full of Chinese and Western culture.

This is a public library, open to the public. Zhao Chuanxin, dressed in a suit, easily blends in.

Xingyue said: "We can't finish reading in one day. It would be really suitable if you can locate here."

Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully: "Isn't it easy for you to come? We don't just rely on energy fluctuations to converge rune fragments. If we want to insert eyes, we can come once every few months. Our family still has the conditions."

He didn't rush to turn the books, but wandered around. Finally, he found an altar for worshiping the Virgin Mary at one end of the library.

He climbed up to the third-tier bookshelf and stood on it waiting for people nearby to leave.

Suddenly, he threw out the bronze eye. Xingyue held the bronze eye in his mouth and placed it in the shadow under the golden eagle statue on the altar. Only a corner was exposed, which was very hidden.

Eye No. 17 was inserted.

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and walked back as if nothing had happened, looking for books to read under Xingyue's command.

Xingyue first found a Latin and Spanish dictionary. After Zhao Chuanxin flipped through it, Xingyue asked him to find a grammar book.

After flipping through five or six books, Xingyue was already familiar with Spanish.

After letting Zhao Chuanxin flip through more than 30 books, it suggested Zhao Chuanxin: "Go to the market, and then I will master spoken English."

Zhao Chuanxin often boasted that he was well-read, but in fact, he didn't really like reading except that he had nothing to do.

Even if he read, he would just read it roughly without understanding it, and read it in a hurry.

So he readily agreed, he would rather wander among the crowd.

Zhao Chuanxin wandered around like a wandering chicken, listening to people bargaining, listening to people cursing, listening to people spreading rumors, listening to people gossiping, listening to people praying...

On the way, there was a stall selling stewed chicken, and Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward and pointed at the chicken.

At this time, Xingyue could already give a translation of what the vendor said: "8 reais."

The most basic local currency unit is the shengtaifu, 1 real is roughly equal to 10 shengtaifu, and 1 peso is roughly equal to 10 realais, of course, this is not eternal.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't have shengtaifu and reals, but he had yingyang... which he had stolen.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a 1-peso yingyang and threw it over.

The front of the yingyang was a pattern of the brilliant ring of the sunstone, and the back was a pattern of a sacred eagle with a snake in its mouth standing on a cactus growing from a rock in the lake.

The other party found him a 20 shengtaifu coin, with a willow-leaf flower ring of the sunstone on the front and a sacred eagle with a snake in its mouth on the back.

Zhao Chuanxin put the coin away.

He just tasted the stewed chicken in sauce, but was disappointed: "What sin did I commit to choose to eat this?"

The vendor was puzzled: "What did you say?"

Xingyue whispered something in Zhao Chuanxin's ear, and Zhao Chuanxin followed suit and replied in Spanish: "I said, God is with you."

The vendor grinned: "Praise you, my friend."

Zhao Chuanxin said in Chinese: "What a bunch of stuff you made, and you still have the nerve to smile."

The vendor said in Spanish: "It seems that you like the taste of stewed chicken with sauce very much. Eat more, you won't be able to eat it outside Puebla."

Zhao Chuanxin said in Chinese: "It's just this broken thing, I don't care about eating it."

Both sides had a friendly conversation with smiles on their faces.

Zhao Chuanxin stayed in this beautiful but not big mountain town until night fell, and then teleported back to Ethan Manor.

Xingyue was right, he teleported back directly, not only to save the suffering of traveling, but also to reduce the probability of being located on the road.

Freddy Pavitt was used to Zhao Chuanxin coming out of the bedroom every time he came back.

Sometimes he would say to his confidant: "Master is either too close to God or too close to Satan."

It's either divine power or the way of the devil.

Zhao Chuanxin ran into the kitchen alone and grilled a plate of beef to eat.

His teeth have all grown.

Good teeth make everything delicious.

In this era, people are sometimes like animals. Whether a man is good or not depends on his teeth. People with good teeth are more popular.

Just like the slaves in the past.

When he came out of the kitchen, Freddy Pavitt heard the news and waited outside with a helpless look on his face: "Master, if you want to eat, you should notify me. It is a disgraceful behavior for the master to go to the kitchen by himself."

Zhao Chuanxin wiped the oil stains on his mouth and said impatiently: "Okay, I know, next time I will beg for food."

Freddy Pavitt: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin changed the subject: "Have you contacted that thief Philander Knox?"

"Ah this..." Freddy Pavitt felt that the master was against him, otherwise how could he swear? He said: "I have contacted him. He will visit our manor on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Master, should I notify the Hague?"

Zhao Chuanxin came and went like the wind. He wanted to go secretly and explore the way first.

But then he thought that his whereabouts were watched by many parties, so he might as well notify them in advance: "Tell them that I will arrive in Hague Bay in two days."

Freddy Pavitt was dumbfounded: "Master, are you sure you want me to tell them this? No matter how fast the ship is, it is impossible to cross the North Atlantic in two days."

"I asked you to read more books but you didn't listen. The North Atlantic is not much bigger. In two days, ten more minutes is a waste."

"..."

While Zhao Chuanxin was sleeping, Xingyue made the first Xingyue M1909 prototype gun.

The next morning.

Zhao Chuanxin got up and was shocked to see the new light machine gun at the head of the bed.

He picked it up and asked, "Can it be used?"

Xingyue said, "It can be used, but it lacks sound-absorbing cold iron, so it can only be fired in bursts, otherwise there is a risk of explosion. You can try the feel first."

Zhao Chuanxin went to brush his teeth first, and then carried the light machine gun out with great interest.

The servants who got up early were all "horrified" when they saw it.

"Master, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Shh... I heard that the master is not an ordinary person."

"Okay, stop gossiping, this is not something we can discuss."

The economy is depressed, and it is not easy to find such a comfortable job with timely salary.

So everyone shut up.

Zhao Chuanxin carried the gun to the manor shooting range, loaded the bullet, and fired in bursts.

Bang.

Hit the target.

It really feels better than Madsen.

Tatatata.

Three bursts.

As expected, the barrel is seriously hot.

The burning rate of oil root gunpowder is slower than that of nitrocellulose gunpowder, but it can give the bullet higher energy, fast initial velocity, long range, and strong energy storage at long distances.

Generally speaking, oil-root gunpowder is less likely to explode than smokeless gunpowder, but when firing continuously, the temperature of the gun barrel is higher than that of smokeless gunpowder.

If Zhao Chuanxin uses the Old God Crucible Brand to absorb heat every time he shoots, he will be distracted, which is extremely detrimental to the battle process.

Xingyue said: "If there is a sound-absorbing cold iron to make the gun barrel, plus the silencer you mentioned, this light machine gun will become a new killer on the battlefield."

Zhao Chuanxin put away the gun and practiced the balance technique on the spot.

After practicing, when it was time for breakfast, he returned to the living room and opened the "Old God Code" to refresh.

[I will go back to the Vanguard Partner Haven first. ]

[When the sand wall at the border of the Brilliant Oasis emerged from the light mist, and the fresh smell of grass and trees was blown by the morning breeze, this was a feeling that could not be experienced in the Rune City. ]

[Many people have never seen the fog in the desert and marveled at its magic. ]

[In the mist, the natural guards of the border line appeared in the cold mist wrapped in blankets. 】

【He came to get stone bricks, and took our giant beetles to herd for him. 】

【No one expected that I would make new friends as soon as I arrived, and solve the worries that the giant beetles might starve to death. 】

【Giant beetles, a means of transportation with excellent load-bearing capacity, are one of the most important assets of every tribe and territory. 】

【I asked the craftsmen to lead everyone to do their own things, got rid of Dudu who always pestered me to play, and then set off to the land of bandits. 】

【It took a day to go only half the way. 】

【When the temperature in the Cursed Desert dropped and the sky dimmed, I saw a group of irregularly shaped, dog-sized creatures crawling in front of me. 】

[As I approached, they began to squirm closer. 】

[I was startled, took out the highly corrosion-resistant gray cutter and slashed it. 】

[The skin of the squirming monster was cut open by me, and it began to secrete mucus rapidly, and the broken parts quickly closed up. 】

[I didn’t see any organs in the damaged area. 】

[Xingyue told me: I have seen in books that this kind of creature is called phagosome. Theoretically, except for yellow sand, they will devour all living organisms that come close to them. 】

[I quickly backed away from this monster that I had never seen and didn’t understand. 】

[At this moment, Xingyue reminded: Be careful behind your back. 】

[I suddenly turned around, but saw nothing but sand. 】

[At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared. 】

[It came out of the sand. I didn't react in time, but Xingyue pushed me hard to dodge. 】

[But the black shadow chased after me like a shadow. I only felt a pain in my thigh and was bitten. 】

[I pinched a strange bug with a dark, slender body, a big head, and a hard shell, pulled it off my leg, and threw it away. 】

[At this time, I saw veins popping up on the back of my hand, and immediately felt dizzy. 】

[I know that this insect is very venomous and will attack immediately after being bitten. 】

[Just as my eyes were dimming, the venom was expelled from the wound and nearby skin. 】

[Xingyue said: These are kowtowing bugs. They hide their bodies in the sand nests they build and wait for prey to come. All they need to do is bite, wait for the poison to kill the prey, and then they will lean out to eat. They are highly venomous, and usually a bite will kill you. Unfortunately, it found the wrong target. 】

Zhao Chuanxin felt shuddering.

If you haven't drank the water from the stone, you may have been exposed to the disease and your life will be shortened.

[After listening to Xingyue's words, I took out a silk net and a glass bottle, and slowly walked towards the nest of a kowtowing insect. 】

[When the kowtow bug jumped out of the sand nest, this time I took precautions and let the kowtow bug jump into the net. 】

[The kowtowing bug was frightened and instinctively bit the silk net, and the exposed mouthparts began to inject venom. 】

[The mouthparts of the kowtow bug pierced the silk net. I brought the glass bottle closer and pinched its head through the silk, letting it secrete venom to its heart's content. 】

[The kowtowing bug habitually injects venom in an attempt to break free from its grip. I only trample it to death after it vomits out all the contents in its stomach. 】

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

[I took out the syringe, took out the venom from the glass bottle, and walked towards the phagocytic body not far away. When the phagosome attacked me, I kept retreating at a fast speed while inserting the syringe into its body and injecting venom. 】

This is really fun.

[I saw that the place where the venom was injected into the phagocytic body quickly melted and turned into a pool of foul-smelling liquid. 】

[The phagocytic body struggled painfully, twisting its disgusting and slimy body. After a while, it stopped moving. 】

[Not far away, a group of small creatures with thorns and round bodies appeared, digging into the sand under unknown plants. 】

[When they dig out plant leaves from the sand, they bite them in one bite. 】

[To my surprise, the leaves actually started to move. 】

[Xingyue explained: Those are desert hedgehogs. What they protrude are not leaves, but dead leaf insects disguised as leaves. That is the food of desert hedgehogs. 】

[At this time, a phagocytic body squirmed silently close to the desert hedgehog, and then quickly approached, wrapping their bodies around the desert hedgehog without worrying that the thorns on their bodies would prick themselves. 】

[The desert hedgehog opened its mouth and made a frightened squeaking sound, but to no avail. 】

[The surrounding desert hedgehogs were so frightened that they fled away. I felt really worried for these little smart animals. 】

[I thought the phagosome would swallow the desert hedgehog, but it only squeezed the flesh and blood of the desert hedgehog. The stomach of the desert hedgehog was squeezed and became larger, and finally exploded with a bang, and the flesh and blood spurted out all over the ground. 】

【This makes me feel uncomfortable. 】

[At this moment, ridges rolled up in the sand. 】

[Xingyue said: This is a bloodthirsty desert barnacle. The phagocytic body deliberately squeezes the body of the desert hedgehog and uses the smell of blood to lure the desert barnacle to eat its flesh and blood. 】

[Creatures with hard shells emerged from the sand. They stretched out their tentacles and licked the flesh and blood on the ground. 】

[And the phagocytic body approached slowly and swallowed them one by one. 】

[I felt that the closer I got to the area where thieves were, the more dangerous it was, so I caught some more kowtow bugs with a net, collected their venom and put it in a bottle. Then let Xingyue help me find a safe place to rest. 】

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code".

Even the outskirts of the bandit land are so dangerous. What if we get in?

After breakfast, Zhao Chuanxin looked at his watch. It was still early, so he said hello to Freddie Pavitt and went out for a walk.

North Tarrytown is still the same, looking lifeless in the weather.

He opened the door of the shoemaker's shop, but there was no one at the counter.

He rang the bell, and the shoemaker came out quickly, putting on his reading glasses as he walked.

"Huh? I recognize you. You came here last year to order boots."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and took out the boots he bought last year: "Man, you have broadened the road. The quality of these boots is very good, but the soles are badly worn. Please repair them for me."

The shoemaker smiled at the compliment.

He took the boots and suddenly sighed: "Fortunately you came early, otherwise I would have closed the store soon."

Zhao Chuanxin rested his elbow on the counter and swung his left foot in front of his right foot. He took off his Humboldt hat and put it on the counter and asked, "What's going on? Business is not good?"

This hat was worn by King Edward VII when he visited Bad Homburg in Hesse, Germany. It quickly became popular and could replace top hats, bowler hats and hard-top straw hats as hats worn on less formal occasions.

"Yes, sir, this world is making it difficult for honest craftsmen like us to survive." The shoemaker was beating the soles of his shoes, hanging his glasses low on his heavy eye bags, and looking at Zhao Chuanxin with raised eyes. : "I was already in a bad year, and a sum of money I had deposited in the bank was somehow lost. When I went to withdraw it, those nasty bankers told me that the money was gone and had been withdrawn. Who had withdrawn it? They didn't say anything about how it was taken away. Sir, you must know that I can no longer afford a lawyer."

Zhao Chuanxin remembered that when he came here before, he had apprentices here.

It seems that the old shoemaker can no longer afford his apprentices, unless the apprentices have to pay him instead.

The shoemaker added: "Sir, do you know? Our North Tarrytown was originally called Sleepy Hollow. Legend has it that there once was a headless horseman here. The knight was a mercenary with superb martial arts. His ghost wandered here, often in They come out at night and chop off the heads of passers-by with giant swords. Recently, a group of people has been doing evil in North Tarrytown. They call themselves the Headless Knights. They come to our honest people's shops every month to collect protection fees. A few months ago, there was an old guy running a funeral business next to me who was beheaded at night because he offended them... His business was already in a bleak state, and he still had to pay them. It was really unreasonable. Why didn't God put these things in his place? What about the bastard?"

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and said in amusement: "The old man God is very busy, I'm afraid he is too lazy to care about us poor people."

The shoemaker sighed again.

While talking, the door of the shop was pushed open, and the light first brightened, and then dimmed again. That was because two strong men blocked the door, and there was a man wearing a woolen coat and a hat standing outside.

The short, stocky man in the lead took off his Humboldt hat. As he moved, the suit and vest under the woolen coat were almost torn apart by his protruding belly.

"Haha, Frank, you have taken a wider road, and now you are doing business with the Chinese?" The short and stocky man glanced at Zhao Chuanxin with disdain. "I heard that you were in trouble and didn't pay on time? So let's see what happened. But I think your situation may not be that bad. After all, you are still doing Chinaman's business."

The tall man behind him raised his thumbs in a gesture towards Zhao Chuanxin and laughed provocatively.

These are two R's, which probably means Railway railman.

Why does Zhao Chuanxin think it is nonsense that the pyramids were built in modern times?

Look at this era, no country has spare money and enough manpower to do that kind of thing. Even building railways requires a large number of Chinese workers, otherwise they won't be able to build it.

Because the total population of the world is not that big at this time, and Asia accounts for most of it.

Capitalists would rather hire a painter to paint their portrait at a high price than spend money on building pyramids. Many countries are engaged in arms races. Unless they feel that their country can be colonized, they will spend money on useless things. As for the Hebrews, such as J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller, if you ask them to spend money to do this, they will laugh out loud. They only see money and don’t care about your sense of history and cultural pride. Except for the Chinese, Do you care about that stuff?

Moreover, Zhao Chuanxin dared to say with certainty that in this era, a project of the scale of building a pyramid would be 100% impossible without Chinese people. If Chinese people participated, it would definitely be recorded in the history books.

The gestures made by the tall and thin man probably meant railway workers, because at this time, Chinese workers were everywhere building railways.

Hard work, low salary, looked down upon by others, refers specifically to the Chinese, a proper discriminatory gesture.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw them, he turned to the shoemaker and grinned: "Man, it seems you don't have to pay the protection fee this month. I'll make them become real headless horsemen."
