Chapter 201 One Kind of Rice Raises Two Kinds of Elf Kings
Cecil didn't notice Langdon's changes at first. After all, just waking up, there were so many things happening: the construction of the third ring, the "recovery" of Ebo and Tongcheng, replanting of grain, and upgrading of explosive kits. In addition, he felt that It's time to take out the gun blueprints that Empress Luosha finally delivered through the Dragon Clan to play a role.
Cindy stared at the drawing for a long time, then looked at Helen in confusion.
The former Seventh Princess of Lomasu, Helen, is now an adult woman. She is in her 20s and looks beautiful, except for the terrible burn scar on half of her face. This pain has become her iconic "medal".
The two ladies developed new steel, including Damascus steel and corrosion-resistant steel, as well as aluminum, stainless steel, and stainless aluminum, which are suitable for all walks of life. According to Cecil's suggestion, they continued to study new metal materials, and recently they seemed to have discovered Materials suspected of being nickel, the foundry industry around the world regards them as top figures, including dwarves who admit that they have "distinctive talents" in developing new materials.
"Casting should be done by men!" Steel Ring snatched the blueprint in a low voice, read it intently for a while, and then said doubtfully, "This thing lacks power, what do you use to push the bullet?"
Cecil did not choose the most primitive tunnel-fired gun but directly chose the revolver, which is basically considered a modern firearm. Now that there is a detailed structural diagram, why bother to go further and further from the initial development? Doesn’t it mean that you are afraid of passing through the GM if you have a plug-in?
"Gunpowder," Cecil replied.
"The ones you threw outside the city wall a few days ago?" Steel Ring's eyes widened, and he said with great interest, "Isn't that thing too powerful?"
"It can be reduced in size... Speaking of which, why are you here?" Cecil asked puzzled.
The steel ring stared: "Why can't I be here?"
"This is a research center, not anyone who wants to come here!" Cecil said bluntly.
"I can come!" Steel Ring said angrily with his arms akimbo, "I will remember this insult!"
"Remember." Cecil said helplessly, looking at Helen who was more communicative, "I only slept for half a year... What's going on, the rules have changed?"
"No, the rules haven't changed, but I think the steel ring is completely a master." Helen said, "Cindy thinks so too. He improved the original lathe, and now we can mass-produce springs."
Without rubber, without springs, the bumpiness of the four-wheeled carriage is almost unavoidable. Cecil has made great efforts to improve the road, making the use of the four-wheeled carriage an "acceptable" level, but it is only "acceptable". No one feels comfortable, and the wagon is even more terrifying. The wagon that transports porcelain not only needs to be covered with anti-vibration pads, but all the wheels must also be cast with anti-vibration magic along with the mage, otherwise you will only get a wagon of broken porcelain when you arrive at the destination.
"Really?" Cecil said in surprise, "What is this new spring machine powered by? Steam?"
"Manpower."
"..."
Damn it, this fucking is about to put the cart before the horse!
So far, all lathes are powered by humans, which can indeed solve many standardization and efficiency problems, but if the power problem is not solved, the lathe is still not the lathe that Cecil thought.
When seeing the "spring machine" with his own eyes, Cecil had to be amazed at the talent of the dwarves. The steel ring invented a complex multi-gear combination, controlled by the steering wheel handle, and can bend a "thick steel wire" into a spring while perfectly meshing. This kind of scientific innovation is exactly what is lacking among the current researchers in Moon City. The experimental mages can't get rid of the influence of magic after tossing and tossing.
"You should study water power anyway!" Cecil said heartbrokenly, and he had long forgotten why he came here. "Water power is better than human power!"
"There's no river nearby, so the waterwheel you mentioned can't be done at all," Helen said.
Cecil: "..."
Well, the rims did a great job anyway.
Steel Ring took the model of the revolver to study, and Cecil approached Helen and asked, "How did he get here in the first place?"
"He heard that Xingang was created by two women, and he insisted on a contest." Helen shrugged. The new steel that you know, if you don’t make it, it won’t be considered a successful revenge.”
Cecil rolled his eyes, and the reason was not beyond his expectations. When he was thinking about whether the steel ring could attract more dwarves and what impact the dwarves would have on Moon City, he found Helen staring over.
"What?" Cecil asked.
"You have changed." Helen smiled.
"Have you?" Cecil scratched his hair, "Fat?"
"Why do you only care about your appearance like a woman?" Helen said angrily, "I mean, you would never ask why the steel ring is here before, and you would never pretend to be business-like. You would definitely ask in private. I, if I found the steel ring, I might explain it in a panic."
Cecil thought, that's true, he always avoids conflicts with others, even if it makes sense, after all, he is alone, but no one will stand up for him, just an insignificant little person, just like he keeps changing jobs , is just another way to avoid conflicts.
"Isn't it good?" Cecil asked.
"No, there's nothing wrong with it. You finally look like a king." Helen took a step back, lifted her skirt and curtseyed, "Welcome back, Your Majesty the King."
Cecil proudly told Langdon about this matter at night, and made various shameful poses in front of the mirror, asking, "Do I look more reliable?"
"Reliable, reliable." Langdon replied without looking up, staring at the parchment, "Burton's dignitaries, those who grew up among the attendants."
"Tell him to die." Cecil replied reflexively, laying down on the bed and putting aside the parchment, wrapping his arms around Langdon's neck and squinting, "Honey..."
"Good night, dear, go to bed early and don't be tired, you are still recovering." Langdon pulled Cecil's hands, leaned over and gave him a light kiss, and then rolled onto the bed.
Cecil sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, thinking that it was only natural to be so tired after so many things these days, so he simply went to bed and fell asleep.During this period of time, his sleep quality was good, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and the light rain outside the window was as soothing as a lullaby.
The next day, contact news from the top ten countries and thirty city-states came one after another.
Foster of Tambunita greeted Cecil's body very warmly, and asked about the progress of the research on heart surgery, urging the implementation of the agreement drawn up by the two parties as soon as possible.
Ingle of Crandall expressed his greetings dryly, and at the same time, on behalf of the big businessmen in the country, he asked if the compensation would arrive on schedule and if there was any difficulty. If he really couldn't pay his businessmen, they would also go to take over the factory in person. , machines, workers and land, etc.
Alexander of Lochere congratulated Cecil on his sobriety, asked in every possible way what happened, and invited Cecil to join the coalition attacking St. Benzie, expressing his interest in the medical class by the way.
Heidenholm of Holy Thunder directly let the real dragon guard fly over. Homer, who had been seeing the dragon all the time, came out from nowhere. His neck twitched.After the real dragon guards left, Homer turned into a human and came to meet Cecil: "After materializing those blueprints, give a copy to the Dragon Clan. If they are willing to sell the gunpowder formula, the Dragon Clan is willing to pay a very good price. "
Since the blueprint was sent by the other party, this request is not too much, especially when the Dragon Clan actually occupies a strong position.
After Cecil agreed, he asked curiously, "Are you smacking each other's necks with your tails to express your greeting?"
"No, he said that I couldn't find a boyfriend. I said you said one more thing and I'll whip you. He said it again, and I whipped him, and he whipped you back."
"..."
Alpha, Roja's Forest, Elma Coastal Alliance, Gretel, Black Sea belong to the list, and all of them sent polite words. In contrast, the reactions of the elves were much more cordial.
Dali broke into Cecil's meeting room through the window in the morning with his hanging hanging, naked and smiling, he opened his arms and shouted: "Cecil, you're awake——!"
The last sound was not an exclamation but an exclamation. Tifa, who was closest to the window, reacted very quickly and kicked Dali in the crotch. On the big table, people sitting at the table can see the round and smooth butt trembling slightly.
Why does this guy have such good skin after streaking all day long, without any scars at all?
Cecil couldn't help but think this way, and said calmly, "Why are you here?"
"I heard you're awake, so let's take a look." Dali slowly climbed down from the table while panting, leaving suspicious and embarrassing stains on that area, which made it impossible to look directly at, "Look Looks good."
"Of course, I'm fine." Cecil smiled and said, "You came to see me?"
"By the way, do you sell that thing called dynamite?" Dali asked.
Sure enough, the news spread really fast.
Cecil sighed secretly, and said, "Not for sale at the moment."
"Okay." Dali replied immediately, and seeing the temporary silence around the conference table, he smiled, "Don't worry, we won't do such things as robbery."
"What do you want dynamite for?" Cecil asked.
"Such a novel thing, what secret might it be able to unlock?" Dali said.
The secret reminded Cecil. He glanced at Langdon, and brought Dali to the private office. Combining his own experience during this period and the analysis of Saturn, he summed up a summary. The weakness of elves, Dali's expression became more serious the more he listened, and he was already sweating before he heard the conclusion.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to call more important people to listen."
"what?"
Vincent appeared two hours later. Fortunately, this man was well dressed and did not come in through the window. After listening to Cecil's narration, he made a decisive decision: "Wait a minute, I'll call someone to listen."
Five hours later, the ruler of the Highgarden Elves, the great and elegant Elf King Jixing Sperwin, came to Moon City. Compared with the Green Bank Elf King Alanster, this man was much more ostentatious. The whole process is as follows: A group of Highgarden Elves He rode his private griffin and arrived within three hours and built a temporary magic gate—it took the Gay Knights a day to build the same gate—after that, Ji Xing appeared outside Moon City instantly through the gate, accompanied by The Elders of Highgarden consist of 180 members.
The leaders of Yuecheng watched seriously as the black elves walked towards them with unrestrained steps.
"I think the Elven King is a bit feminine, not my style." Tifa said.
"Okay, who is more feminine than you?" Jory didn't move his lips when he spoke, obviously with profound skills, "I like the old man with white hair and gold ornaments, he looks very strong."
"You guys are enough." Russell said lightly, "The elders are all old monsters, pay more attention to the young people, shy little trees are worthy of sunshine and rain."
Oakes immediately echoed: "Agreed."
Cecil said calmly, "Agreed."
Langdon sighed. "Watch your mouth when you speak, especially you, my dear."
Cecil: "Got it."
Ji Xing looks like the elf in Cecil's impression. The problem is that he is dressed in a strange way. His upper body is naked—this is so fucking weird——his lower body is wrapped in an extremely long skirt. The clothes of the robe, with a long mop from the waist on the ground and embroidered with gorgeous embroidery, gemstones, pearls, and suspected diamonds, are still extremely conspicuous even in cloudy days.
"It's a bit like the uniform of the Knights." Cecil muttered.
"Perhaps one of the seniors in the group is an elf." Tifa joked.
Fortunately, Ji Xing, who arrived suddenly, was not as arrogant as the ostentation. He greeted Cecil in an amiable and polite way, and he didn't show any displeasure when he entered the rough and simple conference room. He sat down and said directly: "Regardless of whether this time helps us solve the mystery of the destruction of the old civilization, on behalf of the Highgarden elves, I would like to thank you for your continued help."
"I didn't do anything." Cecil said inexplicably, "It's just some news."
Cecil has always found something interesting, as long as he can talk about it, he will tell it to Carroll, and Carroll will talk to Dali. Dali is like a bridge between two civilizations. To some extent narrowed the distance between the two sides.
"But you never asked us anything." Ji Xing said, "Compared with others, your moral character is much higher."
Cecil was a little ashamed for a while, and had to clear his throat: "Then, let's get to the point."
Only Cecil, Langdon, and Ji Xing were present. After listening to the whole process, Ji Xing frowned, and after a long silence, he said: "This is an important conjecture, for our world and all living things. It’s all significant.”
Cecil felt wrong after hearing this: "Do you want to make it public?"
"No, not for the time being." Ji Xing is obviously not a fool, and immediately said, "As you think, all this is just speculation, we have no evidence, and we can't help with that level of struggle. We can What to do? Which direction can we work hard? Do we need to explore more deeply? This is what we need to pay attention to next. At least, we will not make random guesses when we receive some vague hints. victory."
"Are you going to issue a warning to the tribe in this regard?" Cecil asked.
"Yes, but I will hide the details." Ji Xing said.
Cecil thought about the Highgarden elves he had seen so far, and said with some concern, "That... can it work?"
"Probably not." Ji Xing said bluntly, "The high court elves are always free and unrestricted, but I will do my best. In order to thank you for your great help, do you have any needs?"
Cecil smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's like this, we will soon have thousands of mages digging canals, but these people are not very safe, and many of them have magic contracts on them."
"Ah, I see, a bunch of savage robbers." Ji Xing said very politely, "No problem, although magic contracts are not our specialty, but you won't blame them if you want to lose some savages."
"Not at all!" Cecil said categorically, "Although I have a heart of kindness towards wild people, robbers are not included."
The two sides reached a consensus on this, and ended the meeting with a smile and a handshake.
Seeing Ji Xing's smile, Cecil couldn't help admiring the chicness of the High Court Elf. In comparison, the Green Bank Elf's attitude was much more "stingy". They dared not do anything or say anything, and always guessed The thoughts and messages sent by other people are also ordinary greetings. Even though he is also an ancient elf, he still did not dare to tell Alanster the "secret of the law", but only expressed his gratitude in the communication.
"Alanster wants us to participate in the attack on St. Benzie?" Russell frowned as he looked at the communication. "This tone is simply demanding."
Tifa glanced at it and said flatly, "It's too rude."
Cecil also felt the same way, but he had another opinion: "Did they get stimulated by something?"
The four words "the wind is jittery" have penetrated into the bones of the Green Bank elves. They have been trying to struggle out of a bright situation, but the two conditions of geopolitics and choosing the wrong magic field make all efforts in vain.
"I have a piece of news." Langdon took out the parchment and spread it out in front of Cecil, "Alexander recently got a beautiful candlestick with beautiful patterns and decorations, and he brought this display lamp with him in several meetings. Appear."
Cecil looked inexplicably: "What's the matter with this news?"
"It's a human skin lamp," Langdon said. "It's made of Green Bank elf skin."
Cecil choked for a moment. If you want to say that this news is insignificant, you can't say that, but if you want to say that it means something, it seems wrong.
"Why don't you bring a light when Alexander has a meeting? A meeting at night?" Cecil asked.
"No, during the daytime." Langdon said, "But in the spring, Yuecheng researched the soy wax joss sticks. After lighting them, the whole room will smell very fragrant. Alexander is very obsessed with this."
Soybeans not only have food value, soybean oil also has quite a lot of uses, and scented candles are one of the by-products of Cecil's guidance for the fashion industry.
"Uh..." Cecil rubbed his temples, "Did Alexander do it on purpose or not?"
"I don't know." Langdon looked at Tifa, "What do you think?"
"It may be intentional, or it may be unintentional." Tifa lazily said, "It may have been unintentional the first time, but someone must have pointed it out to him later, so he continued to carry it."
"Demonstration?" Cecil guessed.
"No, it's also possible that it's just to show the rarity." Tifa said angrily, "Alexander only has a normal mind when it comes to things like wars and competitions. You don't know what he will do at other times. He is also very aware of his problem, so he often asks the opinions of people around him. It is also possible that someone around him thinks this is a silent threat, or that the people around him hate the green bank elves. There are too many possibilities. I I have been away from him for more than half a year, shouldn't I ask the current Wang Qi about such things?"
"The current status of the king's cavalry is much worse than yours. Alexander seems to be deliberately alienating the king's cavalry." Langdon said.
Cecil said vigilantly, "Did he notice anything?"
"No." Tifa said affirmatively, "He has always wanted to weaken the influence of Wang Qi, but my status and connections are too troublesome, he is not active, and he will be happy when I die." He stopped, somewhat Hesitantly said, "There is also some sadness, after all, I have influenced several major events in his life." He laughed again, "By the way, his third son is my seed."
Cecil: "...Can you just keep your son outside?"
"Okay." Tifa said with a smile, "Guess how many of the current royal family are related to the Gay Knights?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, the blood magic can be seen as soon as you test it, no one would do such a deadly thing." Langdon threw a stack of documents at Tifa who was laughing wildly, "Stop entertaining him."
"Got it, hahahaha, look at his face!" Tifa laughed and slapped the table.
Cecil gave an affirmative answer to this "request" of the Green Bank elves: If you are willing to send troops, the Middle Kingdom will accompany you.
"Are we going?" Jory, who had been in a drowsy state, woke up instantly after hearing the news. "Only the medical class?"
"Not only that, it's time for the soldiers you lead to exercise." Cecil said, "We don't need to do too many things, and we don't even need to go to the frontal battlefield, but it's not enough to fight with real swords and swords all the time."
Jory's expression was as if the sky had fallen. During this period of time, he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. Everyone was asking him what to do, but it was really tormented.He rested his chin on the edge of the table in a daze for a while, then said, "Then what, are you going in person?"
"Don't even think about it," Langdon said immediately.
Except for the distraught Jory, everything was handled perfectly this day. Cecil returned home with a happy mood, ordered new scented candles by the way, made the bed sheets after lighting them, and thought happily of Lan. After Deng came back, how he could turn the clouds and rain, how he could enjoy the night... He just waited until he fell asleep, and when he woke up the next day, his back was so sore that he could hardly get up.
Langdon did not return overnight.
Cecil finally noticed something was wrong.
