Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

Hansel sat in the carriage in a depressed mood, and this state has lasted for two weeks.

More than half a month ago, he received the royal commission with great joy, but he was dumbfounded when he opened it. He was sent to a place he had never heard of as a permanent representative, the Earldom of Graman in the Northwest Bay, God knows where it is.

Later, he ran into the old man he met on the way to escape in the military camp. He had already done his business and was ready to return. Then he remembered that the Earldom of Graman was where the old man came from. Now he has a companion on the road.

Hansel's mind appeared again. The appearance of his old classmate Matthew appeared. This guy was lucky enough to stay under the princess's command and said something sarcastic like "Although the positions are different, they are all loyal to His Majesty the King!"

Pah, Pah, Pah, Her Highness needs your advice. Giving you a notebook to keep accounts is a good thing, but you don't even take a piss to look at your own character. Hansel wants to vomit when he thinks of Matthew's smug look.

Butler Ford, who was riding in the same carriage, was very happy. Things went smoothly. Her Highness the Princess readily acknowledged Paul Graman's succession to the title. After hearing that the old earl died fighting pirates, she not only expressed condolences, but also granted permission in view of the current pressure of pirate invasion on the territory, and finally took the initiative to provide 50 sets of leather armor and 50 spears.

Along the way, Hansel found out the situation of the territory through chatting with Butler Ford.

If you trace back carefully, the Graman family can still be related to a big family in the ancient Bella Empire. After the collapse of the empire, the ancestors of this line set up their own family. After several generations, the family followed the founding king of the Ordo Dynasty to fight everywhere, and it can be regarded as a meritorious family that shed blood and sweat for the establishment of the kingdom.

However, they bet on the wrong horse in a political struggle for the succession to the throne. At that time, the royal family's control over the local lords was not as weak as it is now, and the unlucky people who stood on the wrong side were inevitably liquidated.

Although the earldom was retained after secret political operations, the relatively rich territory was taken back by the new king, and the entire family was kicked to the barren northwest bay. Since then, the heads of the family have been very low-key, and their contacts with other families have become less and less, and they have gradually faded out of the center of the kingdom's political stage.

No wonder I haven't heard much about it, Hansel thought to himself.

Ah... My life is so bleak, an unknown country noble, an unknown poor and remote place, and there is not even a decent town along the way. Will my passion and talent be buried like this?

Hansel felt more and more aggrieved, and then he hated his origin. If he was not a concubine, if his mother had a better origin, if... Forget it, there are not so many ifs.

Some things cannot be changed after all. The key is to complete the current task first and work hard to return to His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Princess. His efforts will be recognized one day, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Butler Ford looked out the window and said excitedly: "Look, Sir Abbott, there is Lake Al ahead. In fact, the official name of this land is Arda Territory, and the name comes from this lake. We are about to reach the lake town."

As the trees on the roadside gradually became fewer, a large lake appeared in front of them. The other side was almost invisible. There was a huge island on the water near their side, with many buildings distributed on it. Except for the castle standing in the center of the island, it was just a relatively large town.

Hansel complained in his heart: "This 'town' is the capital of an earldom? It's not as good as the countryside near the capital."

In fact, this can only be blamed on Hansel's lack of "experience". Many lords in this era built their castles in this way, either on cliffs or on isolated islands surrounded by water. In short, they were all places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, to prevent bandits, rebellion of the people, and the covetousness of the lords next door.

However, young nobles in the capital like Hansel, at their age, generally have not been out of the circle near Jingyao Castle. Even if they go out for a long trip, they take the prosperous trade route along the way, so naturally they have never seen such a scene.

When they walked to the lake, they found a huge floating bridge on the water. The floating bridge was spliced ​​together with special ships as nodes. It seemed that if the enemy attacked, they could immediately set up a boat to dismantle the floating bridge and prevent the enemy from passing.

"Should we get off the car and walk to the island?" Hansel was very worried about whether the floating bridge could support the passage of the carriage. Butler Ford next to him heard his concerns, laughed and patted his chest and said: "Mr. Abbott, please rest assured. This floating bridge is very strong. A mere carriage is no problem."

Seeing the locals' assurance, Hansel felt a little relieved, but he still passed the floating bridge in the carriage with a sweat. After arriving on the island, he was completely relieved.

"Well, Lord Abbott, I have to go to the Lord to report the relevant matters first. Please follow my servant to the guest room of the castle to rest. I will arrange for you to meet the Lord immediately."

"Okay, Butler Ford."

The carriage slowly drove into the gate of the castle wall, and I saw Butler Philip walking towards this side.

"Butler Ford, you are finally back."

"Butler Philip, just in time, take me to see the Earl."

"Oh, I was just about to mention the Earl to you."

"What happened?" Butler Ford's heart tightened. Could it be that Graman's old injury relapsed?

"Master Earl has led the newly recruited soldiers to go out to practice. It is estimated that it will take a few days to return to Huxin Town."

"What, do you just let him go out with a group of recruit eggs? I wonder how arrogant pirates are now?"

"I said everything, but I still didn't persuade it. Everyone had to let Lord Claude led the castle's soldiers to protect it."

Ford Butler was so relieved. He immediately said, "Quickly send people to find the Earl of the Earl back. It is said that the royal commissioner is here and is waiting for his reception."

"Yes, I send someone to find it right away."

After the Felipop Butler took a gift to Hanser, he hurried away. Ford's general manager turned around and said to Hanser, "I'm sorry, Abbot, look at it so that you can only wait for a while for a while for a while for a while for a while for a while It's ".

"It's not tight. Since the Earl can't come back temporarily, if you don't mind, can you turn around at the end of this?"

"Naturally, you are a noble guest from a distance. Please take it here like your own home. But I also need to go home and not to accompany you." Then Ford manager sent his own casual servant to be Hansai as Hansea. The guide of Er, he first resigned home.

Hanser intends to drink something, so he ordered the guide himself and Toman to take it to the town tavern.

There are quite a lot of people in the tavern. The guests were talking about it. Suddenly, there was a glory of a dressed son. Isn't it the servant of Ford, the servant of the general manager, the look of low head and waist confirmed that the person's identity was not easy, and the conversation in the tavern suddenly became small.

"Boss, give me three cups of beer, I hope no one has used the cup."

"Yes, this master, please wait a moment, and you will prepare immediately."

The boss of the tavern in his forties had not been in contact with the nobles from other places so close, panicked and hurried to prepare beer.

"There are few people in small places!" Hanser was funny for a while. He found a position against the window and asked Toman to spread the cloth to the seats and tables, and then sat down.

The tavern is a good place to find out the news. Since they are here, he doesn't plan to just sit and drink, but how to ask?

At this time, the boss gave the three cups of beer over. He took a cup by himself, and then asked Two Toman and the petitioner's two cups.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

He looked at the customers around him, and saw most people avoiding his eyes. He was afraid that the rude movement caused the aristocratic master to be unhappy. Only a person was sneaky and secretly turned his head to look at him from time to time.

"You, come here! Yes, it's you, the hat."

"I?" The guy who was pointed to by Hanser quickly changed from surprise to fear. Has the behavior that peeked at himself provoked the aristocratic master? What to do, will it be beheaded?

The people sitting around the young man drove away from him, lest he affected himself.

He came to Hanser tremblingly, kneeling down as soon as he stopped, and he drew his head with tears and shed tears. "

"Okay, look at you, I don't want to make you! Just ask a few words and inquire about something." Get up! "

The young man stood up like Meng Yan.

"Sit there!" Hanser pointed at the empty position next to him.

"This ... how dare?"

"Baron, let you sit with you!" The servant Toman played the role of dog legs in a timely manner.

The young man had to sit down.

"I ask you, is it really serious about the pirates now?"

"Yeah, although it hasn't appeared nearby, the more everyone spreads, the more they are scared.

"Your lord is like this?"

"This is not. It is estimated that you also heard that the old lord sacrificed when he was conquering. The new lord announced the recruitment of soldiers as soon as he took over his seat.

"I heard that your new lord is just a child who hasn't grown up?"

"Yeah, I don't know if I can pick heavy burdens. Honestly, Master Paul ... Ah, that is, our current little count, can be spoiled by the Earl Earl when he was a child, naughty If you don't say a word, there is also a noble in front of him. In front of him, he said that another nobleman, or his own lord master, isn't it trouble for himself?

Hanser smiled. He asked the boss to put a glass of beer to the young people, soothed the young people, and continued to inquire for a while, and suddenly felt that the little lord here was still a pretty interesting person.

For example, at the beginning of his reign, he ordered that he was not allowed to urinate anywhere. In addition to encouraging every family to repair the toilet, he also built his own money to repair several public toilets in the town.

For example, it is forbidden to pour dirt and garbage in the lake, but placed a large box called "trash can" every other distance on the street. Pedestrians and residents must pour garbage in the trash can. Everyone will organize people to clean up the garbage uniformly.

Hanser looked a little bit about the little lord: "This is good. I didn't expect that a rural lord in the district was even more particular about the nobility of the king capital. I hope he doesn't have all the problems of the natives of the country buns in the countryside."

He stood up, gave the young man a few coins, and told Tommen and the guide to continue their visit elsewhere.
