Chapter 176 Palm's Past

At night, the students in Group B discussed what to do in their room and whether they had a change in their mindset and were awakened. Ryan didn't know anything.

After contacting Tols Academy through the town's guidance contact equipment, he returned to his single room and sorted out the performance of Group B today, and recorded it in detail on the memo file sent to the instructors by the NCO Academy.

The next morning, the students in Group B who had breakfast and were ready to set off looked much better than they did yesterday evening.

Although Machias and Usses still looked like they couldn't get along, they at least did not compete as well as yesterday. Emma and Alisa finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their performance.

Ryan smiled with relief, "It seems that you have recovered from yesterday's failure, so that's good, and I can also leave today's topic to you with confidence."

"Give."

Emma took the envelope from Ryan as usual, and took the sealing wax apart in front of the other four people to read today's topic content.

Alisa frowned when she saw one of the tasks, "Repair the water truck? Do we need to help with this too..."

"Waterwheel..." Marcias suddenly held his chin and pondered, "Speaking of it... Yesterday, when I was chatting with the instructor by the river, I seemed to see that the waterwheel stopped turning, and there were still a group of people around me discussing something sadly."

Ryan nodded, "Yes, it seems that the water truck broke yesterday, because some of you have the expertise to repair such items, so the school will send this task to you after careful consideration."

Ryan glanced at Alisa, whose expression became a little stiff, and said, "Miss R over there, don't hide, you are talking about you, don't tell me you are not confident in repairing the water truck?"

"Who do you think I am?" Alisa immediately retorted loudly when she heard Ryan's questioning, "It's just a water truck, I'll fix it for you in a few seconds!"

"Haha~ I'll bother you. The other members of Group B will help you as coolies."

In addition to repairing the water truck, there is a common task of eliminating wanted monsters. This mission is located in the Old Road of Agria, which I had not visited yesterday.

Excluding an inexplicable helping the tavern chef develop a new dish, the last task left the five people a little confused.

Emma looked at Ryan with some uncertainty and asked, "Instructor, is this task of assisting the leadership of the army to arrest smuggling merchants really going to be done by us students?"

Ryan shrugged and said, "Yes, this is your most important task today. I'll notify you in advance. The situation in this task is very complicated. You must be mentally prepared. How to arrange the task order will be left to you for yourself."

The five seemed to have discussed it last night, and after accepting today's topic, they quickly gathered together to discuss the results.

Emma finally combined everyone's opinions and issued an instruction in a gentle tone, "Let's clean up the tasks that can be completed in the town without going out. The stronghold of the Lingbang Army that issued the mission also needs to visit first."

Ryan raised his hand and said, "Ah, then I'll follow you to visit the town, of course it's limited to the tasks in the town. I'll only watch and leave the handling to you."

Alisa turned her head and snorted with her nose, "Hmph! It's up to you."

Fei made a sharp complaint at this time as usual, "Alisa is really not frank, she obviously last night..."

"Hello!"

Alisa hurriedly yelled and interrupted Fei's second half, then pushed Emma and Fei out, "Go out quickly! If someone didn't lie to us, today would be harder than yesterday."

Following the students leisurely, Ryan watched them ask the tavern chef for details about the so-called development of new dishes. In fact, it was nothing more than asking the students to find some monsters and plant ingredients outside the town.

Then, led by Ryan, the group arrived at the stronghold of the territorial army near the Palmnan exit.

Since Hayneshou had already said hello before, everyone was not troubled here and easily learned the details of the mission from an officer.

On the way to the Weapons and Guidance Workshop, all five frowned and discussed the information they had just heard.

Eussys pondered and said, "There are people smuggling near the border... I remember that the Titas Gate in the south is the gateway to Liber. Is the smuggler a merchant from Liber?"

Ryan shrugged and said, "I won't interfere with your judgment for the time being, but the Titas Gate is indeed a border fortress leading to Liber, opposite to the Haken Gate on Liber."

"During the Hundred Days Battle, the Imperial steel torrent was driven through this fortress to Liber. Of course, the final result... I don't need to say more."

Marcias pushed his glasses and said with a heavy face, "That war with unknown causes ended in peace talks, but in fact the Empire suffered a lot of criticism internationally because of this war, and Liber also suffered a lot of losses. It can be said that no one is the winner."

Alisa also shook her head and sighed, "It's such an inexplicable war. I don't know why it was provoked in the end. Both parties in the peace talked about this very vaguely. She didn't tell me when she asked her mother. It's really..."

At this time, Usses looked at Ryan with a vague look, and when he received Ryan's affirmative gesture, his eyes became dimmed a little.

Emma saw the atmosphere between the few people a little strange, and hurriedly interrupted their conversation. "No matter what, this mission must go to Titas Gate through the old Agria road to check the situation. The road can be used to eliminate the wanted monsters."

"Let's go to the water truck now, don't let the townspeople wait too long."

Although there were guidance technicians in Palm town, he was at a loss for repair of this old wooden waterwheel. When the students reached it, there were already many people around the waterwheel.

As a child, Alisa learned a lot of knowledge about technicians from her grandfather Guen, including many ancient technologies such as water trucks and old steam tanks before the popularity of guidance technology.

"Well..." After Alisa checked the structure of the water truck, she concluded with the expectant look of the guidance technician in the town. "There is no big problem, but there is a little problem with the central axis that keeps the water truck rotating. Give me some time and it should be repaired soon."

When the two big men, Machias and Usses, came forward to help Alisa, Emma and Fei were curiously asking the townsmen on the side about the origin of the waterwheel.

"Why should we keep this primitive waterwheel when Guilin Technology is already so developed? Textile equipment does not have to rely on waterwheels to operate, right?"

The old lady who was asked sighed softly at this, "It sounds complicated. In fact, the town has been discussing whether to remove the water truck from five years ago, but in the end, it decided to keep it as a commemoration of the old era."

"No one expected that this ancient waterwheel could play an important role in the Libert mutation two years ago. It was great not to remove it at the beginning."

"Libert's mutation?"

Fei tilted his head and asked, "Is it the large-scale guidance stop incident that was affected from Liber as the center. Did Palm also suffer from it?"

"Yes." The old lady looked at the water truck and said with some excitement. "When I woke up early in the morning, all the equipment that relied on the power-guiding energy lost its function. Without lights, the kitchen power-guiding ignition equipment was completely ineffective, and the whole Palm was in panic."

"Fortunately, under the leadership of the textile leader, they used the original waterwheel power to restart the textile work, and took their actions as an example, finally keeping the chaotic Palm stable for the time being."
