Chapter 685
2014-08-16
bang bang bang …the sound of hooves mixed with the sound of rolling wheels, an ordinary black shed carriage is going down the road On one side, driving neither fast nor slow under thick snowflakes. .In the car, the two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.
A moment later, one person broke the silence and greeted: "cough cough, Your Excellency Matthew Man, where are you from Titus?"
"You...you call me Matthew Man. Just, hehe..." replied cautiously.
laughed heartily, "haha, okay, then I'm welcome. Well, let's call Ma Lao. Since everyone is from Titus, there is no need to say honorifics."
laughed heartily. p>
"You, you have the final say."
Speechless, "...you don't need honorifics anymore."
"Uh, yes...you taught me a lesson. It's..."
"..."
Crap, what a cliché... Rubbing his brows, Tang En leaned back against the wall of the car with a helpless expression on his face, very speechless.
The carriage that I am riding now belongs to Matthew Man, and the direction is to go to the craftsman's house. Although Tang En did not choose to ride the unusual Imperial Family carriage in the end, what he had seen and heard before undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Matthew Man. Now he is sitting upright, with his face full of care, he is afraid to answer a call at all...
At this point, Tang En still doesn't understand Lansa's idea.
That unusual second layer stone building, the Heavenly Wolf Imperial Family guards in charge of security, and the gorgeous pinnacle carriage just now... The meaning of all these things is actually related to security. Dere's vaccinations were almost the same when he entered the city. It is nothing more than to prevent people who are blind to him and interfere with the research progress of telescope and other things. It's just that Lansa has to be a little more thorough, taking out the carriage of His Royal Highness Natiu directly, using the status of the Imperial Family to overwhelm people, and cut off all hidden dangers in one fell swoop!
I have to say, this is really that chick's way of doing things... However, after thinking about it, Tang En shook his head secretly, sooner or later he would have to run away, naturally the more low-key the better, how could it be possible A high-profile ride on that Imperial Family carriage?
While thinking about it, Tang En looked at Matthew Man, whose figure was a little stiff in front of him, secretly sighed, and had to give up his plan to inquire about the status of the imperial city for the time being, and instead said with a smile: "Ma Lao is also a craftsman. After that, we will be colleagues, can you give me a general introduction to this craftsman?"
"Of course... no problem! Well, the so-called craftsman is actually a bit similar to Titus' Alchemy Guild. However, the research subjects here are not so detailed, whether it is the most important battlefield weapon, or living farm tools, etc., they are all researched and manufactured together..."
When it comes to what he is good at, Ma As expected, Xiuman's nervousness eased a little, and he gestured hand seal, the more he spoke, the smoother he became.
After a while, Tang En finally got a general understanding of the craftsman's house.
First of all, I have to say that after Lansa's mother, that is, the current Queen of the Northern Wilderness, took the throne, the scale of this original unremarkable craftsmanship has been greatly expanded, and now its status is not low.
As for the system and function of this institution, as Matthew Man said, it is very similar to Titus' Alchemy Guild. In other words, this craftsman should have copied the set of Alchemy Guild at the beginning of its establishment-speaking of which, I have to praise the current Queen of the Northern Wilderness! As expected of the high-ranking person who has seen the world. Although on the surface is at odds with Titus, incompatible as fire and water. But when he turned his head, he used Titus's various advanced cultures, ideas, etc. without any pressure, including the popular Titus texts that were more suitable for communication, recording, and circulation, and now the pirated Alchemy guild, craftsman's office, etc. .
But of course, applying the pattern doesn't mean you can reach the same height.
In fact, due to the lack of professional talents, the data available for research is really poor and other subjective and objective reasons. This craftsman is completely incomparable with the well-established Alchemy guild, and it is still a mess. I want to study whatever subject I catch, but after reaching a stage, I get stuck in embarrassment, so I can only turn to study another project...
Of course, although it is a bit messy, it has no effect. No doubt exists.
Just like the example Matthew Man just gave, before the northern barbarians basically didn't wear armor, it's not that they didn't want to wear it, but they really didn't have a complete armor making process. However, with the efforts of the craftsmen, such as secretly catching a few famous Titus folk craftsmen, and then constantly splitting the Titus armor that was smuggled in at a large price... Finally, Beihuang has his own more than a dozen sets of armor production craftsmanship, It is now slowly spreading. The wolf head armor worn by the Imperial Family guards around the Tang En stone building is one of the most outstanding armor craftsmanship.
......
Hearing this, Tang En couldn't help but laughed and shook his head, secretly said. Hehe, the Queen of the Northern Wilderness... who is the one doing the major event, look at this thick-skinned person!
Just as Matthew Man's expression became more and more relaxed, Tang En also waited for the opportunity to ask curiously, "Why did Ma always come to Beihuang? Was he caught?"
"Uh... that's not true." Matthew Man looked at the head after a moment of stunned, "I used to be a Level 2 Alchemist studying metals at Titus, because an experiment blew up more than a dozen colleagues... In fact, the one who presided over the experiment It wasn't me, and that large experiment wouldn't be my Low Rank Alchemist to do Chief-In-Charge. But I was lucky to survive, and the person who actually presided over the experiment was a guy with a noble background, so in the end it was I took the blame..."
"According to the laws of the Empire, the lightest person like me has to spend a lifetime in prison. There is no other way but to run. Falling here in Beihuang. Hehe..."
Laughed sarcastically, Matthew Man's cloudy old eyes were a little wistful, "It's been more than 20 years in a flash, and I was in a hurry to escape without caring for my family. I don't know. Is the madam still there, youngest daughter Alice...Oh, she should have been married by now. I don't know if you remember me..."
With a sigh, the atmosphere in the inner Qi of the carriage was a little heavy. Tang En's eyes drooped slightly when he saw this, and he spread his hands and said, "Sorry, Mr. Ma, I shouldn't have mentioned this."
"Oh, it's fine." Came back to his senses, Matthew Man inadvertently wiped He rolled his eyes, "In fact, it's all in the past, that is, when I see you, Arthur Court, I can't help but think of these Titus past events and say a few more words."
It doesn't matter. Refreshed, he said, "Fortunately, because the current queen is on the throne, I began to pay attention to us people, otherwise I would have died in some corner." He reached out and patted Tang En's shoulder, "Ai, I have lived my whole life, I think I am watching it. I understand, all honor and allegiance are false, and the most important thing is that you and your family have a good life. So Arthur, you are still young, as long as you work hard, you must… er.”
When his arm stiffened, Matthew Man obviously thought of what he had seen and heard just now. With Tang En's current status, he really doesn't care what he said.
Of course Tang En can also think of these things, and nodded with kindness: "Thank you Mr. Ma for his teaching."
"Uh, it should not be taught, it should not be..." After reacting, Ma Huo Man waved his hands in a panic, subconsciously retracting his previous cautious Condition.
From his reaction, Tang En can be regarded as having a clear understanding of Beihuang's hierarchy concept. There is no doubt that the disparity in the status of Beihuang here is much larger than that of Titus. What is advocated here is that powerhouse is respected, and the superior person with Great Influence will naturally kill or kill the ordinary person. If so, let alone the Titus people here...
Before Tang En could comfort him, the carriage was shocked and stopped. Immediately, a respectful voice came from outside, "Master, the craftsman has arrived."
The car door opened, the cold wind swept in, and a simple and honest young man bowed and waited outside the car in the snow. It was Matthewman's coachman, a Titus man. In Beihuang, people like Matthew Man and the others basically couldn't hire people from Beihuang, and even if they did, they wouldn't be relieved.
Ma Xiuman got out of the car first and reached out to make an inviting gesture. Tang En could only touch his nose and smile bitterly.
The location here is on the north side of the Imperial Palace castle, not too far away, from here you can clearly see the towering city wall. The snow continued unabated, and the dozen or so guards in front of the iron gate not far ahead were almost built into snowmen.
"Mr. Arthur, please come with me."
Shaking, Matthew Man tightened his padded jacket and walked forward, in the direction of the iron gate. As for the carriage, you can only wait far away on the side of the iron gate.
Because of the Queen's importance, the guards of the craftsmen are still very strict. Those barbarian guards should also know Matthew Man and didn't care. But when he saw Tang En following him, he immediately surrounded him.
Not a big question, just a simple question. However, after hearing Tang En's name, the guards' expressions were swept away, and they were somewhat solemn. Obviously, they had been greeted before.
And this scene undoubtedly made the eyes of Matthew Man on the side flicker, looking towards Tang En's, just like watching the Crown Prince who came to the company for an internship...
In the stone house on the side of the iron gate, Tang En followed Matthew Man to sign his name on a booklet.
The moment I threw away the quill, Rao was Tang En's life, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart - Damn, didn't expect me, a third-rate academic scum, who couldn't find a job in this world, but was Signed in for work on the first day here...
