He didn't know what kind of guest in this world would choose not to go through the front door, but through the window where he could only stretch out half of his body.
Unless the opponent is like me and has the ability to squeeze through nooks and crannies.
Thinking of this, Xiuge couldn't help but feel it a little bit, so he captured some weak magic power escaping in the air, and the source of the magic power seemed to be outside the window.
This made him a little curious, but at this time, it was obviously inappropriate to ask questions or stay any longer, so Xiuge decisively put away the flannel bag, turned around and walked out.
Before leaving the cold study, he nodded politely to Old Zeke, looked at the glass display cabinet behind him for a moment, and then closed the door.
The door closed, Old Zeke tightened his coat, reached out to turn on the expensive lamp with a warm magic ritual on the desk, and coughed twice.
Immediately there was the sound of flapping wings outside the window, and then in the bright light of the magic lamp, a huge raven with shiny feathers jumped in.
It seemed to be freezing due to the weather outside, but it did not rush to the magic desk lamp that emitted warm light. Instead, it directly raised its paws, flexibly fiddled with the open window, and moved it
Covered up into a crack.
"Ellen, who arranged for him to come?"
"You really don't have that idea."
"If you tell me, this is a relatively light small firearm that must be driven by wheels. However, its rate of fire is too slow. One of it can probably withstand an entire position of soldiers.
With that kind of weapon, even the hard-armored earth dragons from the Baichao Mountains will be beaten to pulp alive!"
The seventy-year-old manor housekeeper took over Zhang Chen's job, and it was only then that Duden noticed that there were no soldiers from the 7th Chasseur Regiment beside the carriage. It was obvious that the military monitored the entire Leiland District very closely, and even
The Ernst family also has laws, which should be related to the "Sophia Noble Strategy" discussed by Zhang Chenwen and Princess Zeke.
When the order was given, the carriage pulled by the lowland ponies immediately turned around and retreated along the road. Those horses are close relatives of the magical creatures, the ground pattern draft horses, but their stature is smaller, so
And it is suitable as a war horse or a pack horse.
Zhang Chen retreated into the carriage with Du Deng, and I replied: "College Duo asked you to tell you that I am very grateful to you for delivering the letter. Now everything has turned out to be bad, and everyone is very satisfied."
"By the way, Ellen...Sister Sally, who came to Sophia with you, how are you doing now?"
I slowly removed the mist of the messenger in the mirror from my eyes, and turned around hastily: "I'm sorry... I've been too tired those days. I just wanted to take a rest, but I didn't feel distracted at all."
Zeke Ernst nodded very liedly: "But now, that statement is just a rope that is not fastened. It is enough for me to stay in Sophia safely."
The young soldier came to Duden and saluted Duden very proactively.
….
As Zhang Chen followed Xiuge as he walked inside, he thought in his mind: "It's just a matter of luck. In our eyes, your normal behavior seems to be explainable. It's very unlikely that we can attribute those traces to you."
The experience in Salem City, and the influence exerted on Duden Ernst by the day's association actions..."
"oh?"
We already have machine guns and airships, so what’s the next step?
"New guy? What is it?"
Bolden laughed: "I'm sure Ewaiwen can still see the child's appearance. I'm afraid I will regret my past judgments and choices. Is it true that I have never been so sure... As for Zhang Chen,
You dare to know that I should really have some secrets related to the White Society and this prophecy. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that I did that in Salem City and the changes that happened around it."
Princess Zhang Chenwen is very straightforward
He commented groundedly: "My thinking is very slow, and I can always grasp other people's ideas. The ideas I use when discussing problems are very novel, but at the same time I can grasp the core of the problem. However, what I think is always different from yours."
The direction envisioned is the same.”
"Oh, I just said it carefully."
Ellen touched his head and said, "The statue has not yet been officially named, so I went against tradition and called it the name of the young master who made it, not 'Calvan Mucci'."
.”
"Hai Hao, go over now, you have to have a good sleep."
The raven folded its wings, and then it jumped into the middle of the desk and said, "In the next step, you have to talk about the issue of Leyland District."
Bolden was very bored with the judgment of his outstanding student. I huddled in the wheelchair and laughed: "The 'little minority' that your Majesty refers to?"
"I'm afraid I would not be willing to become the heir of the Ernst family, otherwise I would have behaved like that when I heard the news of Evavin's death."
The raven opened its mouth, and a human male voice immediately came out: "If I had known that my sense of magic was so keen, you should have just pretended to be a pet raven...it's too hot inside."
"The 'small minority' before the royal family, nobles and elites are excluded."
Zhang Chen nodded: "That's right, an elder from Alfred University is an honorary professor here... Anyway, the University arranged the matter, and old Schubert was also sent there. Listen,
To say that my injury is not bad would be an understatement, but I have an extra leg and am very healthy. I am afraid I could only stay outside the house before."
"So, you really plan to make me the heir to the family? I obviously don't have many secrets. That's stability."
"Your Majesty, he should have withdrawn from the study and stayed outside. If Finn knows about this kind of thing, I will definitely stop complaining again."
Bolden said quickly: "And after that, when you mentioned to me things that had nothing to do with the heir, my first reaction was doubt, and my seventh reaction was hostility... Oh, it's this kind of over-relaxation and
The hostility that comes from being cautious is like a frightened prairie dog."
"Will it be easy?"
At this time, the butler's voice came from the carriage, so Duden thought about it seriously and said, "First of all, please... butler, where are the family's books and collections placed in particular?"
….
"The manor housekeeper hasn't arranged a place for you yet. Do you want to take you there?"
Why is the version updated again?
Because what appeared in front of him was a familiar face - on the way to Sophia, his guard was not the young man in front of him. Duden still remembered that my name is Ellen.
"Before arriving in Sophia, Sister Sally, with the help of your teacher, officially registered as an apprentice alchemical physician. She should now be studying at Zhang Chenwen Alchemy Medical College."
In Xiuge's voice, Duden's magic power and consciousness finally returned to his body.
"Well……"
"So wrong?"
"Sir, do you need to go directly to your residence?"
Having said that, the young soldier pursed his lips and said, "It's not a good idea to wait. After all, there's going to be a war soon."
"That's what you said."
"I know you are asking about display items such as ordnance, which are outside the exhibition hall of the mansion, but you must be looking for cultural relics and books, so I can't take you to the exhibition hall at the end of the woods, which is far away from where you are resting.
The place is also far away."
"What do you think?"
"I heard it all."
Fortunately, I was careful when I left the study and secretly injected the power of the Mirror Messenger into the glass cabinet door in front of me that can be used as a mirror. Otherwise, I might have missed those important messages and intelligence.
.
"You did show some flaws in some aspects."
Duden silently thought about the words he had eavesdropped on. Judging from the conversation between Zeke Ernst and old Princess Zeke, there should be nothing wrong with us now.
What kind of hostility is there? At least there is no curiosity or doubt, and one is prepared to impose certain measures on oneself.
Ellen pointed at the revolver rifle that had not been with Zhang Chen for a while, and said: "The weapons used by me now change very slowly. Here, the Mucci 2699 revolver gun you use, those two
The new improved version is not out yet. According to people who have used it, the new type of revolver will make you have to manually adjust the magazine before each shot. In this way, the rate of fire can be increased by two.
To eight times, not to mention, you have finished fielding some new ones, this is a truly terrifying weapon!"
I breathed a sigh of relief: "As for the secret, none of you have it. Quickly investigate and fumble around to get something vague. Then you can discuss stable issues."
Zhang Chen nodded, and then I picked up my things and stood up from the chair in the exhibition hall.
"Your residence is located at the other end of the manor, not far from here, so it will be more convenient to take a carriage."
"It's not bad. Although few people say that the situation changes day by day, Xiaojia is still very unsure."
"Ah, yes...it ranks at the back of the entire Lovi Lowland. The annual tuition fees alone are not exaggerated."
"If you tell me, I might be more like these scholars... You are not referring to these spell casters outside the Council and Law Committee, but these people who are really trying to delve into and explore the secular laws of Van En. From next time
You discovered when we met that when faced with problems, I always instinctively conceive and look for answers that would be detrimental to a small minority of people."
….
"You originally thought you wanted to talk about Mucci's workshop."
Ellen took the revolver rifle and the folded coat from Duden familiarly, and then I stepped aside to let Zhang Chen get out of the car.
During the conversation, the raven finally finished combing its feathers, so it spread its huge wings on the light to absorb less cold energy.
After that, it jumped onto Old Zeke's desk in twos and twos and stood closest to the cold source.
"Mr. Duden? Mr. Duden?"
"That old guy, you know the relationship between me and Princess Zhang Chenwen is not that exciting."
However, lowland ponies are more intelligent and have a very bad temper, which makes them very suitable for use as special mounts and tools in cities and manors. Some noble sisters and ladies also hate that kind of mount.
"Haha, let's do that last time."
"Teacher, that's a bad description."
Zhang Chenwen sighed: "In front of you, it's not that simple."
"Bad, let's go."
Princess Lao Zeke's tone was very serious: "If such weapons are really just an end, going forward, you will need to ban all unauthorized weapon research and development and production..."
That kind of retro transportation is really eye-catching when placed next to the new steam vehicles around it.
Zhang Chen couldn't help but smile.
In fact, he did not play a very bad role as a "messenger". Alfred's idea of letting him hand over or display the revolver should be to attract the attention of Zeke Ernst and the royal family, but
In fact, for those little people who have eyes and ears in all directions, we should have not noticed those potential new inventions for a long time. Even if we are not there, we will naturally put such important things on the agenda.
.
"During that time, you will know your guards!"
After hearing those words, Duden's expression became strange.
Just like that, Duden walked out of the mansion, and inside the small door of the mansion, there was an elegant carriage parked.
"This matter has not yet been decided. Starting tomorrow, the weapons workshop of the Mucci family will be included in the jurisdiction of the Ymir Legion, and its name will be changed to the Royal Arms Factory. Going forward, you will participate in everything
New ordnance is being developed and tested."
Zeke raised his hand and moved the raven's body slightly away from the magic lamp to prevent it from being burned by the magic ritual in operation.
of feathers.
Then I asked, "How is it? Did he hear your conversation clearly?"
"It's Colonel Alfred, sir!"
I obviously felt like I was isolated from that world for a few days...
"Mr. Zhang Chen!"
After hearing that, Duden silently nodded.
"Medical school? You remember that the threshold for that college should be very low, right?"
The adventurous move I just took made me sweat a little down my back. Although it was not too comfortable, overall the adventure was very rewarding.
"You have come into contact with very few people from the lowlands and plains, nobles, soldiers, officials and many special people, but I am the same as those people."
Taking advantage of that time, Duden asked about Sally and old Schubert.
"Well, that's bad. You wanted to find another chance to talk to me... you really want to know what's inside my head."
…
The raven, or rather the old Princess Zeke who transformed into a raven through magic, seems to have lost the habits of the bird itself at this moment. You combed your wet feathers very naturally and said, "That's right.
You are very confused...am I really a member of the Ernst family? You feel that I am not at all like it."
"It's just a feeling. It's not possible that you think less about it."
…
It's the end of the month

If you have a lot left over, can you throw it to me?
