Li Yu and Ge Lipeng left the city through the Stone Gate. Compared with the lively scene outside the Arc de Triomphe, the place seemed much deserted.
Although you can still see some tents on the roadside, there are no people inside at the moment. They are probably all watching the competition.
However, to be cautious, Li Yu and Ge Lipeng walked a little further until they came to a small forest.
Li Yu sent out black dog guards to search the woods and found an uninhabited area. Jude led people to guard the surrounding areas.
While waiting for Yin Leya, Li Yu also chatted with Ge Lipeng for a while.
"How's it going? Are you still used to life here?"
"It's okay, I don't really have any requirements for food and accommodation." Ge Lipeng said, "It just took me some time to get used to the tools. There are no machine tools, no welding guns, no electric furnaces, and no grinders here...
"But as long as you are willing to put a little more thought into it, you can still find most replacement tools. Before the industrial revolution, guns were originally made by gunsmiths.
"After we signed the contract, I also did some homework in this area in advance, so everything went smoothly.
"The most important thing is that I can finally make a living by handicrafts, and now there are no manufacturing restrictions. I am quite satisfied with this job."
"That's good," Li Yu nodded, "but now you are a believer in the Shuangqiu religion, so you must remember to rest on time after work. I will ask Jude to take you around the city later.
"Lionheart Castle is the largest town on the continent of Bratis. It is very prosperous. It brings together all kinds of goods on the continent, as well as a lot of delicious food. We will leave here when the tournament is over. I don't know if we will come back next time.
When is it?"
After hearing this, Ge Lipeng thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I will go to the blacksmith shop and the carpenter shop to see how they work. Sometimes some ancient methods are quite useful.
"Never underestimate the wisdom of those ancient craftsmen. After all, we were only born a few hundred years later than them. If possible, I will go to the market in the city to see if there are any special materials and
tool."
Li Yu and Ge Lipeng chatted for a while, and Ge Lipeng also advised Li Yu to order less takeout, because even if there is nothing wrong with the ingredients, chefs outside often choose heavy oil and salt in pursuit of taste. Eating too much is not good for the body.
Li Yu asked Ge Lipeng where all his messy manual knowledge came from.
Ge Lipeng said frankly that he learned most of it by himself on oil pipes, and also consulted some masters, but mainly he still explored on his own. The more he explored, the more he became proficient.
Don't be afraid of failure in the early stage. The process of overcoming difficulties will also bring a strong sense of accomplishment.
While the two were talking, they saw a figure walking from the other side of the woods.
It was Yin Leya who was invited by the emperor to watch the martial arts competition.
It's just that we haven't seen her for a while, and the girl looks like a different person. The long ears on her head droop listlessly on her cheeks, her eyes are red, and she seems to have just cried.
She was completely distraught and her hair was shaking when she walked, like a walking corpse.
"What, what happened again?" Li Yu asked.
The female lord seemed as if she had not heard anything.
It wasn't until Li Yu repeated the question that she seemed to hear it clearly and murmured, "The bear of the earth... challenged me to a duel."
"Why?"
"Because he said that I killed his nephew and he wanted to avenge his nephew. Do you remember the mercenary nicknamed Honey Bear?"
"Well, he was hired by your stepmother and died under Jude's axe."
"The Earth Bear blamed this on me."
Li Yu frowned, "Did you agree to his request for a duel?"
"Of course not. You weren't there, and you didn't see how crazy that guy was on the fighting field. Oh my God! He twisted off a man's head with his bare hands, and then escaped under the attack of three killers.
"Claudio said that his strength is almost as strong as a real bear! The other contestants were like chickens when facing him, and those people didn't even have the courage to attack him.
"And His Majesty allows us to resolve each other's grievances in a competition, which means that I am dead!"
Miss Rabbit shook her head like a rattle, "It's impossible, there's absolutely no way I can defeat such a monster! My nightmare is about to come true, and I will be killed by him in front of everyone, without mercy.
."
"I will become the first head of the Arias family to die in a martial arts tournament without even being able to leave a complete body. After that, my family and I will become the laughing stock of the entire empire for the nobles in the royal capital.
Talked about for several years.
"In the future, when they go out and see all the headless things, they will point at their companions and laugh, saying, do you think that looks like Yin Leiya? I don't want to be remembered in this way. This is really bad.
!”
When the female lord said that she felt sad at the end, she started sobbing softly again, and said to Li Yu while crying.
"I have no heirs, so I plan to pass the position of head of the family to my aunt Alisa. Merlin, can you help me take care of her, just like you take care of me?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and saw that Li Yu and Ge Lipeng still looked calm.
Fortunately for Ge Lipeng, he couldn't understand the common language of Bratis Continent, and he probably didn't know what happened at this moment, but Li Yu's reaction made Miss Rabbit feel a little disappointed for no reason.
In the knight novels she had read, the two of them should have been crying together at this moment, and she could also take the opportunity to express her feelings to Li Yu and fulfill a wish, so she could probably be more peaceful when she left.
But seeing Li Yu's reaction being so dull, the girl couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that he didn't care about me at all and was it just my wishful thinking from beginning to end?
Thinking of this, her heart ached even more.
It feels like it doesn't matter if my head is screwed off by the bear of the earth. Who makes this world so cold?
Mom. Ooooooooooooo, it turns out that only my mother can love me.
"Let's take a look at the power of the new sacred weapon first, and then decide whether to entrust it to you." Li Yu said at this time.
He took a flintlock pistol from Ge Lipeng's hand, which was imitated from a duel pistol from another universe more than two hundred years ago.
As the name suggests, European nobles in the 18th and 19th centuries were very keen on using this pistol to duel and defend their honor, such as the poet Pushkin and the mathematician Garois...
Li Yu opened the lid of the primer tray, bit through the paper shells, filled a small amount of gunpowder into it, then closed the lid and poured all the remaining gunpowder into the barrel.
Then the lead bullet and the wrapped paper case were stuffed into the barrel to ensure air tightness. Finally, poke it a few more times with a purl to complete the loading.
