Not a Witch

As long as the mayor keeps sending a message to the outside world that the attacker is not a robber, but a well-trained professional soldier, he can be exempted from punishment, because this is not a problem he can solve.

But how can there be professional soldiers in the Vilgar business alliance, this will lead to a broad discussion, the target is not aimed at the West Wind nobles, or other big chambers of commerce within the alliance.In order to avoid suspicion, but also for fear of stimulating the nerves of other large chambers of commerce, the secret enemies of the Karites chamber of commerce will be thrown at the mouse in the future, greatly reducing the possibility of re-attacks and assassinations.

Because, if the orphaned daughter of the Karites Chamber of Commerce dies during this period of time, it will set off a huge wave in Verga, and other chambers of commerce will feel personal fear, so they will do their best to investigate and track the murderer, so as to avoid this kind of thing happening to them. on the body.

And this is exactly what Roland Hill wants to see.

Chapter 50 白钢盔甲

In the Tixilan Mountains, Molten City.

Here is a city close to an extinct volcano. The fertile volcanic ash makes the nearby crops grow extremely well. Pieces of soybean plants grow tightly on the flat terraces.Beans are also the main source of plant protein for animals.

The green terraces built around the mountain are like steps from top to bottom, covering this extinct volcano, but there is a huge grotto on the mountainside, and along the grotto is an extremely wide avenue, with moss on the road from time to time. Rock rhinos pulled mine carts in and out.

A heavy steel minecart has crushed deep ravines on the gravel mountain road. A rabbit-eared tribe in linen clothes hangs a red fruit from a long pole, which is very popular with moss rock rhinos. , as long as they are hung in front, they will follow the direction of the fruit, very obedient.

At present, the rabbits are very proficient in cooperating with the monsters in the mountains, and have established a good relationship of trust with each other. They have a very clear understanding of the hobbies and habits of these monsters.The moss rock rhino prefers a cool and humid place. If it is normal, they will not come to the inside of the volcano. However, these ores are so heavy that it is too difficult to pull the cart manually, so the rabbits have to think of other ways.

After some trial and observation, this kind of sakya fruit is very liked by these simple and honest rhinos. Even pulling a mine cart to the inside of the volcano can bear it. The rabbits also exchanged the reward for this kind of fruit. In addition, in order to take care of these rhinos Habits and protection, they will also put a bucket of water in the car, and water the back and body of the rhino from time to time with water to dissipate heat and keep the body surface moist.

The red Sakyamuni fruit is said to have been passed down from the Eastern Continent many years ago. On the Eastern Continent, it is also called Bufona, which means the fruit of longevity.Although this is an extraordinary world, there is no such thing as a destiny that can only live for how many years. This kind of fruit is just very sweet. If it is a special extraordinary variety, it can cure the dark diseases in the body and prolong life.

As the mine cart entered the interior of the mountain, waves of heat came oncoming, and the dark red fire reflected on the surrounding rock walls, and then the noise became louder and louder, the twitching sound of the bellows, the vibrato of the iron, the cooling of the steel. The sound, the sound of water boiling and evaporating, the crashing sound of giant hammers, the rabbit-eared tribes wearing craftsman's apron are metallurgical and forging metal products.

Inside the volcano is an irregular red lake. The lake is full of hot magma. Surrounding the magma lake is a wide circular walkway. Beside the walkway are workbenches. Hundreds of Rabbit-ear craftsmen are enthusiastic here. work, the crisp metal crashing sound can be seen everywhere.

A tall rabbit-eared tribe was standing in the workshop inside the volcano. He was tall, with a round waist and belly. He was wearing dark red steel armor with brightly protruding thorns on the armor, which looked a bit hideous.

At this time, a big man with black rabbit ears walked in. He was wearing a white cloak and fitted silver-white armor. Behind him were several gun-wielding guards wearing the same armor.

"Kanda, why are you here?" The tall rabbit-eared clan was a little surprised when the big man in the white cape came in, but with a grin that showed a familiar smile on his face, it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.

"Lushan, I'm here to see how the new armor test is going. His Royal Highness Roland Hill will pass on the plan, and the legion will be formed soon."

"Don't worry, I have been supervising and supervising here every day recently. Everyone is experimenting step by step. The basic process has been set, and the rest is about optimization and maximum cost performance."

This big rabbit in red armor doesn't speak as ferocious and thorny as his armor, and looks very easy-going and vigorous.He handed the big axe in his hand to the rabbit next to him, and strode over to give Kanda a big hug.

"We haven't played for a long time. Why don't we fight tonight and have some drinks."

"It's okay to make a gesture, but not to drink for the time being. It's important to do business." Kanda smiled and the two talked as they walked.

Considering the needs of the war, Roland Hill finally decided to form an elite army mainly composed of cavalry.Others are ordinary legions with spears, swords, and crossbows, and elites are given priority to enter the cavalry unit.

The current world of Ivar is still dominated by cold weapons. The existence of extraordinary power makes the individual's strength and physique far better than the ancient times in Roland Hill's memory. Besides, there are armors made of various magical materials, and some extraordinary jobs. With the built-in protection skills, the lethality of projectile weapons is far less than the ancient times in memory.

The attack power of projectile weapons has an upper limit, such as the pulling force of the crossbow, the loading amount of early gunpowder, etc.Even if you are a powerful Hercules, the bow and arrow you shoot are limited by the performance of the weapon, and the extra strength has no other effect than breaking the bow.

Therefore, most of the battles in this world are resolved at close range.The bow and crossbow will have a great advantage at low levels, but with the improvement of the extraordinary sequence, the effect of the bow and crossbow begins to weaken greatly after Sequence 4, unless you can attach magic power and other skills to the arrows, which It is the specialty of the elves, and other races are not very good at it.

The cavalry on the battlefield can often play a decisive role in changing the situation of the battle.If there is no cavalry, even if the opponent is defeated and the enemy flees, they will not be able to pursue much and will not be able to expand the victory.Moreover, sometimes cavalry is the most important in order to attack the enemy's weak troops, to break through the front lines, to circle behind, to outflank, etc.This is also the reason why Roland Hill, like other Forerunners, preferred cavalry.

"Kanda, though I've said it many times."

"But the old stove, I really admire His Highness."

"What happened to you?"

"You'll know when you come and take a look."

Furnace took Kanda to a workbench with two sets of armor on it, all of which were made of steel.

"Look, the one on the left is the armor that I found someone to buy in Xifeng. It is said that a certain destitute noble sold the armor left by his ancestors in exchange for money. Later, I found someone who knows how to do it. This is indeed the real thing, that one. The bastard will regret it later, this good armor shows that his ancestor should be a viscount."

Then his stout hand flipped open the top half of the armor, revealing a brass shield-shaped micro-sign.

"The pattern on this micro-chapter is a flaming hill, indicating that its owner was a veteran of the 'Quenching War' and made great contributions. It is estimated that after Xifeng established his country, he was at least named a viscount. The king is still very generous to his subordinates."

"Then on the right is the new armor we built according to the drawings given by His Highness. The amount and weight of steel used are basically the same as the west wind armor on the left."

Kanda looked at Lushan a little puzzled, and Lushan continued.

"We tested the strength of the two, guess what?"

"That must be the strength given by His Highness."

"Yes, how much stronger?"

"Three times?" Kanda slightly overestimated.

"No, ten times!"

Lushan laughed, then picked up the giant hammer next to him and knocked it down twice, the armor on the left was sunken in, and several small holes were pierced by the protruding angles on the giant hammer.The white steel armor on the right bounced slightly, making a metallic vibrato, intact.

[White Steel Armor] (Rare Silver Grade): Plate armor that has been re-improved by advanced technology has excellent toughness and strength, can disperse the impact force, greatly reduce damage, can be manufactured on a large scale, and is highly cost-effective.

This is an improved version based on the technology of the Quicksilver Dynasty after Roland Hill got the blueprint. It may not be very strong, but the low cost and fluent materials allow everyone in the legion to wear it and get good protection.After all, every life is precious, and keeping everyone alive is her most preferred direction.

Chapter 51 霍普兰尔

After Karites' motorcade left Yellow Leaf Town, it headed south, and finally reached Hopeland. The latter part of the road was very smooth, and no one was attacked or assassinated again. Several black cavalry armors were sold to the mayor, making a small profit, and at the same time making the news spread by the mayor more convincing.

After the team of the Karites Chamber of Commerce left, the mayor Ruder reported to the top of the business alliance in a serious manner, and then sent the security team to patrol the nearby mountains many times, showing a conscientious appearance, so that people could not pick out any faults. Come, and then take out those armors and weapons again, and let everyone believe that some powerful organization has indeed attacked the Karites Chamber of Commerce, not ordinary bandits.

When the convoy approached Hopelander, it was already dusk, and over a hill, Hopelander appeared in front of everyone. It hugged the ocean like a huge crescent moon, and there were several tall white lighthouses on the seashore. Sailboats are docked at the port, and there are endless carriages pulling goods from the port to the main road of the city. The houses in the east of the city are all brick red, and the west is where the nobles and wealthy live. Various houses and courtyards are scattered. Checkered.

This is the top three cities and ports in the Verga Business Alliance, and it is also an important commercial center in the southern part of the mainland. Nearly one million people live here. The huge port handles merchant ships from the Green Empire, the Southern Islands, and even the Plantagenet Dynasty. .Accompanied by the warm sea breeze, groups of seagulls squeaked across the harbor, hovering over the city before flying away.

Roland Hill sat in the carriage and looked at this bustling street through the glass on the carriage. The avenues with brick floors were very flat, and the roads were lined with laurel trees.Even at night, the streets are bustling with activity, with stalls lining the roadside selling mahogany handicrafts, tropical fruits from the Southern Islands, carved weapons from falcons, and local grilled fish.

The shouts of the stall owners, the smell of food, the chatter among tourists, the orange lights on the stalls, the aliens with animal ears, the oriental people in robes, the streets are full of bustling and prosperous scenes.

The riders of the caravan were divided into two columns, guarding Roland Hill's carriage in the middle, and slowly walking through this night market. Many pedestrians were not allowed to temporarily avoid the street. Some domineering people were originally dissatisfied, but when they saw the paint After Ye Hua's sign, he also obediently shut his mouth and walked to the side.

The Karites Chamber of Commerce is one of the five largest chambers of commerce in Hopeland, and one of the high-ranking members of the ruling guild of the business alliance. It occupies its own position in the 26 seats and has its own say in the major affairs of the business alliance. , because it is headquartered in Hopelander, it also has great influence locally.

"Flores!" "Fross!"

There were bursts of cheers, screams, music, and some colored beams of light were also shining in the night sky.

"Miss, there's a concert going on in the theater ahead, I'm afraid we have to take a detour." Serres' voice came from the front of the carriage.

Listening to the loud and huge cheers, Roland Hill was also more curious, is the music performance in this world so attractive?

"No, let's get out of the car, I want to take a look too." She put on a black robe, used a hood to hide her hair and face in the shadows, and opened the car door.

"Miss, there are too many people here, I'm afraid it's not safe." Chelsea also got off the carriage and stood behind the girl.

"It's okay, I'll pay attention." She blinked, the extraordinary core in her consciousness transformed into a natural sequence, the extraordinary perception began to spread, and the features of the entire city gradually emerged in her mind.

"Okay, but please allow me and a few other personnel to be around for protection."

"no problem."

After speaking, Lorraine Hill was pulled by Chelsea and squeezed into the open-air theater venue.

The half-moon-shaped stage was separated by a fountain. On the golden stage of the stairs, the huge golden-red curtain gradually opened, and a singer in a shiny long dress appeared in everyone's eyes. She had big wavy golden curly hair and was wearing a white dress. The skirt, which was covered with reflective sequins, reflected bursts of brilliance under the light, and then she picked up the microphone made of alchemy, and the singing sounded.

[We were both young when we first met you]

[The scene where I close my eyes flashes again]

...

[Looks at the lights, looks at the ball and dresses]

[I see you walking through the crowd]

His voice was natural and tactful, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he flicked it gently. His soul-sucking expression instantly made countless audiences fall into a frenzy, and screams resounded throughout the venue.

Standing on the high stage of the theater, Loren Hill looked at the warm ocean below, and couldn't help sighing, this is the power of music, no matter which world is so fascinating.

The singer continued to move forward slightly on the stage. There were two dancers on either side of her. They crossed their waists, turned forward sideways, turned half a circle, the dance skirts floated slightly, and then turned sideways and moved forward, step by step, Dance to the beat of the song.

Immediately after.A hanging basket was slowly raised under the stage, and the white palace guardrail formed a small space. The singer walked into the small guardrail, and then the dancer beside her closed the guardrail.

[I've been waiting, the only thing I can do now is get out of here]

[You will be the prince, I will be the princess]

[It's a love story]

Then the hanging basket slowly rose, and the golden reflective paper flowers fell from the air on both sides of the theater like rain, and the singer's singing gradually became higher.The mood in the venue also slowly reached a climax.

[Honey, just promise me]

...

[But you are my everything to me]

[I beg you not to leave]

The singer in the white dress waved to the audience as she sang, her screams echoed in the theater, and she looked like a real princess.

"That's great." Roland Hill couldn't help but admire, her words were definitely not so bold, she was still relatively shy and quiet.

"Miss, this is the famous white singer in mainland China in recent years, Floss."

Chelsea whispered the origin of this singer next to her. Although she has a beautiful appearance, because she was born in a slum, she experienced a lot of ups and downs in the process of becoming famous and was attacked by many people, but she survived. .However, these experiences can resonate with the majority of civilians and accumulate more fans for them.

One song after another, the last fireworks rose on the stage, which announced the end of this grand performance.

After the performance, Roland Hill finally arrived at the end of the journey, the headquarters of the Karites Chamber of Commerce.

The iron fence gate was opened, the lights in the mansion were bright, and the branch presidents and stewards from various places stood on both sides of the courtyard to welcome the new owner of the chamber of commerce.

When Lorraine Hill got off the carriage, a golden carpet had already been laid and continued to the front of the mansion.She stepped on the soft carpet, and the consuls pressed their left hands on their shoulders and bowed their heads in salute.

In the hall of the mansion, there is a long dining table. All kinds of delicacies have been prepared. Nearly a hundred maids, dressed in black and white dresses, are standing on both sides of the dining table. , the brilliant lights fill the whole world.

very sorry

I'm very sorry, I received a reply to the contract application today. Since the work has not yet reached the contract standard, the website will not be approved.

I applied on Monday, and I only responded today. In fact, I was already a little worried, but I didn't expect it to become a reality.Later, I consulted some other writers and editors. If the website signing application fails once, it will basically not pass in the future, because the reviewers will only read the first few chapters, and they will not have so much time to see what you write later.

There will always be some bumps in reality, and there is no way to be as smooth as the protagonist of the novel. I am just an ordinary person, a new author, and I have no reputation, so it is impossible to turn over.

It was raining lightly outside the window, and I felt very melancholy.

Although I heard that this is a rookie cemetery, I didn't expect it to be so difficult.I still like the feeling of writing very much, and I really hope to make a living from it, but the reality is not logical. In this era of information, the role of opportunity is far superior to other things.
