Destiny Thief

Chapter 85 The Turn of the Peak I

"Pretending to be a military official of the kingdom is a capital crime. Do you plan to send him to the gallows?"

After swallowing a piece of cake, Miss Lina Barrows wiped the crumbs from her lips with her hand and continued to ask.The expression on her face was amorous and unremarkable, but the blinking eyelashes showed a trace of her nervousness and uneasiness.

If the guy upstairs is really a fake——Lena thought of what happened in the past few days, and felt a little more uneasy.The two of them didn't spend much time together, but even if the other party wasn't the real hero of the Northland, she admitted that there was something about that man that moved her heart.

Chia next to her stuffed a few fried pancakes into her mouth, her cheeks were swollen, she chewed hard, and patted her belly.Then he sat on the chair, looked at Lena with a smile, and glanced at her brother, Markuro Escude.

She and Makuro are half-brothers and sisters. In terms of blood, Chia is even more noble than Makuro.Her mother was the wife of Fino Escude, Marquis of Avron, a lady of another noble family.Unlike Makuro's light brown hair color similar to new wheat mixed with civilian blood, she has beautiful blond hair, and her exquisite facial features perfectly combine the excellent blood of her mother and the Escud family, although at this age She hasn't fully grown yet, but I have to admit that Miss Chia is a real beauty.

Chia sat on the chair, raised her two slender legs in white stockings, and began to shake slightly.After slowly swallowing the food in her mouth, she took a sip of the freshly squeezed emerald green juice.She looked up at the long table, the snacks in front of the other two were barely touched.

"According to the provisions and rules of the code, I should indeed do so."

After pondering, Makuro said with a smile, he saw the knife and fork in Miss Lina's hand slipped onto the plate involuntarily, making a crisp "bang" sound—although the red-haired girl had made the worst idea in her head, It was hypothetical, but these things were conclusively said from Makuro's mouth, which still surprised her.

"It seems that little Lena cares about that kid."

Markuro stood up from the long table, and looked out of the window—the world outside the window was rolling hills, with a tinge of autumn yellow in the greenery, his sight collided with the slanting sunlight in the afternoon, Squinting eyes:
"That guy's origin is unknown, but I don't think it's necessary to say that there is malice towards the Escud family. I need to thank him for what happened in the mine, but for his crimes, everything canceled each other out."

"So you've decided to pardon him for impersonating a military officer?"

Lina Barros was relieved when she heard what Markuro said, but she still couldn't believe it, and asked.

"An interesting guy with good strength. Why not? A corpse on the gallows is of no value to the Escud family."

Makuro stood in front of the window, turned around, the golden sunlight set off his back, and there was a rare look of excitement and anticipation on his handsome face, "Sword skills! Unexpectedly, there will be a A character with such outstanding sword skills."

……

In the Umpton Mine, for these days, Miss Radia followed Scott and Levin, who went hunting every day, to every corner of the vicinity.Today's harvest was good. Not long after the early morning mist and dew cleared, they caught an adult wild deer, a medium-sized male wild boar, and three or four hares in the bushes of the mountain forest. After picking up the heavy prey, they decided to call it a day—the entire bandit group only had about [-] people, and the meat was enough to last for several days.

In order to keep the food fresh, the bandits didn’t have the habit of hoarding too much meat except in winter—Scott couldn’t help feeling a burst of hatred when he thought of the smell and texture of the pile of bacon in the storage room.Whenever those foods appeared in the cafeteria, he had the urge to go on a hunger strike.

Fortunately, the bandit group has realized that there are not many animals that can be hunted nearby, so they no longer go out like they did when they first came to the mine. The bandit leader Glo once said that overhunting is not conducive to sustainable development. Contrary to the principle of harmonious coexistence between man and nature...

The three of them returned to the mine, handed over the prey to Old York, the chef in the cafeteria, and then returned to the paths paved with gravel in the center of the mine.This is a gentle slope. Along the side of the gentle slope against the mountain wall, there are a few scattered small houses, which are the residences of the members of the bandit group.

The sky is clear, and in front of the small house, several young men are washing their clothes—the sad thing about single dogs is that they need to do all the evil housework by themselves.Seeing the arrival of Miss Radia, Scott, and Levin, the members of the bandit group raised their heads and greeted each other.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Miss Radia's eyes fell on something.

In front of a small house, there is a metal round pipe fixed upright against the wall. It is slightly thicker than a finger, and there is a knob on it. It seems that as long as two fingers are pressed lightly, water will rush out of the pipe. out.She watched the young man operate skillfully, and after a while, he filled the wooden basin containing the clothes with water.

She has not only seen this thing in the mine, but also has experience in using it many times-but seeing this again, the curiosity buried in her heart surfaced again.

"This thing is what Mr. Glo calls 'tap water'."

Miss Radia thought to herself.In the first few days when she came to the Ampton Mine, she came into contact with and used these things under the guidance of the bandit leader. After observing and experiencing them from the beginning to the end, she was already a little surprised and curious in her heart.

It's a pity that Glo didn't answer her questions. Once the bandit leader brought up the topic of "Genting City", he talked about it from left to right, which made her a little depressed—but according to her careful observation and In comparison, these things in the Umpton Mine and the water pipeline in Yunding City are completely different from the perspective of infrastructure.Here, she did not find the magic hub that provides power, nor did she see the sophisticated control system.

Could it be the improvement and optimization of the alchemy process?

It is possible.The mysterious Mr. Glo seems to be very familiar with engineering alchemy, and also seems to know a lot of very advanced knowledge.

If such a knowledgeable young man was working as a bandit in the mountains of Nogo, Miss Radia would definitely find it incredible if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes - she knew very well the significance of this "tap water" facility. This effect can be achieved with only simple pipeline layout and earth and stone engineering. If the teacher sees it, he might pay a large sum of gold coins to buy the design drawings of these things.

What is the mystery here?
Radiya has also asked Scott, Oliver, and other people in the bandit group to prove it-but no one can give an accurate answer. They always shake their heads and tell the results of the water supply system. All credit goes to the bandit leader.

But the man who was the rightful owner was not there. Miss Radia flexed her little finger to do some calculations, only to find that the bandit leader had been away for almost half a month.
