Chapter 703
2014-03-12
In the early morning, the imperial city was as stable as yesterday.Snowflakes are drifting slowly, the doors of the shops are open, people coming, people going on the road, noisy and lively. From time to time, you can see sturdy children wrestling bare-chested in the snow by the roadside, in a ferocious state. Occasionally, some Titus figures wearing wide hats and cautious postures can be seen hurriedly passing by...
It is a normal day, at least the people of the imperial city think so. If I had to say what was different, it would be that today it seems that it is rare to see the sons and daughters of powerful and powerful people who are usually dressed in fresh clothes and arrogant horses.
Of course, that's a good thing, no one wants them out to tyrannize.
But what the people don't know is that the children of the powerful and powerful who are usually arrogant and despotic are now confined to their homes and strictly forbidden to go out. And the entire elite class that usually needs to look up is now like a pool of stagnant water, dignified and chilling, trembling with fear.
As I said before, the circle of elites in the imperial city is very small, and if it is not deliberately covered up, there are almost no secrets between them. In the scene of Book Collection Pavilion last night, there were many powerful children present, and after they dispersed, the news naturally spread quickly.
The Titus man again?
This is the first reaction of many great characters after seeing the news, and they are astonished. Immediately, the whole circle began to become lively. Of course, most of the discussions were guessing how the Titus people would die?
Originally, although the previous families were not weak, their strength and background were not strong. And this Titus person saved the life of His Royal Highness Lansa after all, and was kind to the Imperial Family. This reasonable in every circumstance Imperial Family is to help. The end result is the same, although a little exaggerated, but not unexpected. [
But this time is different, the Crazy Eagle Tribe is not comparable to those few families with no foundation, coupled with the usual domineering style of behavior. No one would think that the Imperial Family would risk a bad relationship with the Wild Eagle Tribe this time to help the Titus who didn't know how to live or die.
It's already about grace, it's about profit!
What happened next seemed to make it clear that the 'Son of the Wild Eagle' Lanbitt, who was waiting in a high-end venue, saw the dying subordinates being carried in, especially the one wrapped After his five severed fingers, thunder instantly became furious, disregarding Tiger, the heir to the Hidden Snake Tribe who was still present at the time, and smashed most of the high-end places in a disgraceful manner and walked away.
It is natural to say that high-end places are smashed, because that is the industry of the Crazy Eagle Tribe. However, behind such a disgraced move, it is actually conveying a clear message to the outside world, especially to the Imperial Family - this time I am very angry, so the Titus must die, you don't interfere!
This is an advance greeting and an advance step for the Imperial Family.
The situation becomes clear here. Although Lambi can't represent the entire Wild Eagle tribe, but as his heir, he is only a Titus, and the Imperial Family won't even give this little face. .
However, the following situation suddenly mountain road twists around each new peak, which made all the powerful and high-level people watching the lively stunned, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. It turned out that before Lanbite ordered someone to kill the Titus people's residence, the Imperial Family officially sent people to negotiate, trying to protect the lives of the Titus people!
The scene of the negotiation between the two sides is not known to outsiders, but the battallion battallion Imperial Family guard who went to the Titus residence immediately showed the Imperial Family's determination in a high-profile and strong manner. Of course, it can also be seen from this point that the first negotiation between the two sides was not very good.
Here, the elites of the imperial city all lost their voices. They didn't understand why the Imperial Family had to protect this Titus, and they didn't know how the Wild Eagle Tribe would react. So I can only restrain all my actions as much as possible, so as not to suffer the disaster of Chiyu at this special time.
……
However, no matter how the outside wind and rain ferment, Tang En in the craftsman's workshop will not be distracted. And to be honest, he doesn't have time to think about it now...
Boom...not too big an explosion sounded, the fire was flashing, and the smoke was billowing. Matthew Man, who was holding a few clay pots, just arrived at the door of the laboratory, and was blasted by the air waves of Assaults the Senses, directly sticking to the wall of the corridor outside the door, the starlight suddenly flashed in front of him, and the pottery pot in his hand fell directly to the ground and shattered. crack.
Immediately, "cough cough...cough cough..." Suddenly, a black shadow still smoking, Rapid Speed jumped out of the thick smoke, leaning against the wall and bending over to cough, tears and snot flying. , so not embarrassed.
Ma Xiuman was startled, he hurriedly took a few steps back, looked up and down before asking uncertainly, "Uh... Are you Ya, Arthur?"
"Or else..." Rolled the eyes quite eloquently, well, Tang En's eyes and teeth are white now, and the rest of the body is pitch black, like a crow. [
"Scare, why are you like this?"
waved his hand, "cough cough, it's alright, it's just a small mistake."
Small mistake... ... Matthew Man turned his head to look at the laboratory that was still billowing with smoke, the corners of his eyes twitched, his face full of words.
"Bah!" Tang En spit out the unknown residue on the side of his mouth, Tang En looked at the laboratory that was destroyed in an instant, grinned like a toothache, and whispered in his heart, "Sulfur, Dinitrogen, and Charcoal...
" ...I remember that the teacher taught this way before, so why did it explode at my place?
That's right, Tang En is indeed making black powder, which is the best weapon he can think of to get rid of large-scale pursuit.
Actually, Other World's Alchemy level in this area is pretty good. The explosive crystal is much more stable and powerful than this simple black powder. This is also the reason why Tang En didn't think about making black powder before, but now the situation is forced, he, a stranger in a foreign land, can get an explosive crystal in a short time, so he can only find a way to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
Of course, gunpowder is not something that can be touched casually, let alone something developed by this earthly method. That is, Tang En is not an ordinary person, otherwise the explosion just now will probably make him reimbursed several times.
Patted's body is black and gray, Tang En asked calmly: "Ma Lao, do you have a bigger room in the craftsman's office? No must laboratory, as long as the area is large enough."
"Uh...you want to try again?"
"Of course!"
Shaking his head, Matthew Manner said, "Well, I know a suitable place. Then It was originally a warehouse for storing materials, but it was abandoned later, and I'll go get you the key."
Matthew Man is now also the Chief-In-Charge of the area, of course, he still has the right. From this point of view, Tang En took him to the position before, which is probably a correct decision, and it will come immediately if there is no reward.
The abandoned warehouse is located in a remote corner. When passing by the gate of the craftsman's house, Tang En turned his head and looked outside. All he could see were the silhouettes of Imperial Family guards, who were constantly patrolling back and forth to surround the craftsmen. It must be watertight.
Obviously, even if Lansa intervenes, so far, Lanbit has no plans to stop.
"tsk tsk, isn't it just cutting off five fingers, how exciting!" curl one's lip, Tang En teased with no psychological pressure.
Tang En knew how long he could possibly stay in this imperial city since he knew the antidote information. In order to prevent many long dreams at night, it is better to leave as soon as possible. So as long as it doesn't provoke the existence of the level of Bamutu, Tang En simply won't take seriously.
What, Wild Eagle Tribe?
hehe...The strength of the Crazy Eagle Tribe is indeed very strong, but this is the Northern Wilderness imperial city, which belongs to the Heavenly Wolf Imperial Family's territory, so in fact, the manpower that Lanbit can mobilize, which is to follow It's just the people he went into the city with. As for the powerful Crazy Eagle Tribe, it is still thousands of miles away, and it cannot pose any threat to him at all.
On the other hand, if Lanbit's experts were at the same level as the azure clothed old man before, and Tang En was annoyed and determined to assassinate him, it's really hard to say who will die first...
After going through all the possible threats in the heart, Tang En felt more at ease, and immediately put aside these thoughts and followed Matthew Man to the abandoned warehouse.
Open the rusty iron door, except for a few inches of dust, the inside is empty, but fortunately the area is large enough to fully meet the requirements of making black powder.
Tang En was overjoyed and called many apprentices to bring saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and a black pottery pot as a container. Research.
To be honest, Tang En was a little moved by Lansa's attitude in these two matters. After calming down, think about the problem of the antidote again, it is a battle of wits and courage, and you can't blame others if you miss a move.
Although the two sides are now taking what they want, it is self-evident that a telescope is more important than the possibility of having a bad relationship with the Wild Eagle Tribe.
However, Tang En did not dare to leave the black powder formula in Beihuang after thinking about it. This thing is different from telescope. Although it is a little rough, but to a certain extent, it is a killer that can really change the existing battle pattern.
After all, there are still a lot of smart people in Other World, and there is a complete Alchemy system. Once they have this simple black powder formula, it is really hard to say what may be derived from this... …
It is precisely because of this that Tang En drove away Matthew Man and many apprentices who wanted to stay to help.
It would be a lot slower to do research alone. Fortunately, after being bombed once, Tang En also had some experience, and the next development work seemed to be much smoother.
Finally, ten minutes later, with a muffled sound in the empty warehouse, the first clay pot was successfully detonated. The formidable power is not large, and if it is not within three feet of the surrounding area, there will be basically no casualties.
This result is also normal. The reason why the formidable power of the fryers in the world is so great is that in addition to the raw materials, there are also built-in steel balls and iron sheets. Once it explodes, these steel balls and iron pieces will lasing out in all directions, achieving real area damage.
The time is tight, and the first time making black powder is a bit uncertain. After thinking about it, Tang En still didn't add it. However, while not using the mundane concept, Tang En used a bauble from Other World - a plant berry the size of a soybean grain, which can cause a slight explosion when gently kneaded. Well, it's very slight. Even if you bite it open in your mouth, it will at most loosen your teeth, which is a prank.
But it was this kind of unremarkable little thing that made Tang En ecstatic when he saw it. Vaguely, looking into the distance, through the gate of the warehouse, Tang En seemed to see the splendid scene of explosions in the imperial city and the blazing fire... Really looking forward to it!
All day long!
The Imperial Family guards are constantly patrolling, Lansa and Lambi are constantly negotiating, and the upper circle of elites is cautiously listening to various news. In the corner of the craftsman's office, Tang En filled black clay pots one after another in silence, his eyes were indifferent and persistent...
...
The next day, the abandoned warehouse was closed again . No one knows that the black pottery jars piled up inside yesterday were all disappeared overnight.
Matthew Man knew something vaguely and was very curious, but watching Tang En, who was yawning repeatedly, re-entered a laboratory, he hesitated several times, but in the end he was unable to ask.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Matthew Man suddenly felt that this was a little different from the compatriots from Titus today. I can't say it specifically, it's just a vague feeling that he seems to be more relaxed and free than before...
Of course, these speculations didn't last long, they just turned their heads and left them behind. .
At noon, seeing that Tang En hadn't come out yet, Matthew Man came to the laboratory with some food, and before he could knock on the door, a voice came out first, "It's Ma Lao, just now. I'm going to find you... hehe, come in, the door is unlocked."
Matthew Man couldn't help but stunned, I haven't entered yet, how did he know it was me... Shake his head and opened the wooden door .
This is a new laboratory, and the interior is equally simple, only the crystal ore residues piled up in the corners are more eye-catching. Tang En was sitting behind the experimental bench, with a brown wooden box in front of him, and was looking over with a chuckle.
"Arthur, this is lunch. Seeing that you haven't been out for a long time, I'll bring it for you."
"Ha, thank you Mr. Ma." Take the lunch and put it at will. On the side, Tang En didn't mean to start immediately, but waved his hand and said, "Come, sit down, Ma Lao let's talk."
"Uh, okay." Matthew Man sat on the chair, a moment Face unfathomable mystery. Tang En didn't explain either, and said sternly, "Mr. Ma, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I have been taken care of by you a lot these days. Many thanks here."
Matthew Man hurriedly heard this. He waved his hand: "What are you talking about, it's clear that I have been taken care of by you a lot. If it wasn't for you, Arthur, I'm afraid now..." After a while, he seemed to realize something, "What do you mean, uh, do you want to Let's go? The Imperial Family won't protect you? Then you run away, yes, run now. Whatever I need to do..."
"Haha..." Laughing and waving his hand, he suddenly panicked. Matthew Man, Tang En shook the head, "Old Ma thought of where he went, not like that. Well, I just want to thank you for taking care of you these days, and I just want to give you a small gift."
Changsong Tone... It's not good, it's not good. Uh, what, a small gift?"
Tang En nodded, "Brown, and then refused to wait for Matthew Man, wearing a wooden box: "This is it, It's not a valuable thing, Ma Lao don't dislike it."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't open it now, tsk, keep a little mystery. Haha..." Matthew Man heard the words He also smiled and shook his head: "Okay, since you said that, Arthur, then I'm welcome. However, when will this be opened?"
"When..." Tang En's mouth rose. , turned around and pointed to the outside of the laboratory, "When there are many brilliant fireworks over the imperial city, it can be turned on. Well, it won't be too late."
"Uh..." Matthew Man looked at Looking at the snowflakes outside, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, completely unable to understand the meaning of this sentence. But before he could ask, Tang En suddenly raised his head and looked towards the wooden door of the laboratory, his eyebrows raised slightly.
dong dong dong, I buckled three times, and the wooden door was slammed open without waiting for the person inside to respond.
The tailored fox velvet gown is sculpted with natural curves, evoking the imagination. With delicate facial features and a pair of plain-rimmed glasses on the bright and clean nose bridge, not only did not affect his overall temperament, but instead added a bit of intellectual heroism. It is Lansa, known as the Pearl of the Northern Wilderness.
Tang En was not surprised. It was not a great skill to know who it was from the sound of footsteps. Ordinary person was fine sometimes, and of course he had no problem. Patted Matthew Man's shoulder, handed the brown wooden box into his hand, then looked up and said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this our beautiful Highness Lansa, why are you free to come to my shabby lab today?"
Despite wearing glasses, Lansa squinted his eyes habitually, and instead of responding to Tang En's frivolous words, he turned his eyes to Matthew Man. Seeing this, the latter dared to stay here for longer. After stepping forward to salute, he carefully took the wooden door of the laboratory and hurried away.
"Have you eaten? I don't mind giving you half if you haven't." Carefree said, Tang En didn't salute, but took the lunch aside and prepared to start.
Lansa also seemed accustomed to the deviant behavior of the guy in front of him. He stepped forward and sat on the seat that Matthew Man had just now, frowned: "Can you make a little less trouble?"
"It's not conscientious to say that. You know the specific situation. It's not my fault. Well, today's sliced meat tastes good, are you sure you don't want to order it?" Tang En didn't raise his head. , and quickly use a fork to send the meat slices into the mouth to chew continuously.
Lansa snorted some bold signs, but then lightly exhaled, as if he was too lazy to entangle with Tang En, and said: "The matter has been resolved, the Wild Eagle Tribe will not trouble you again. Later Lanbit will come over, you apologize to him in person, and this is over."
Tang En raised his head and licked his lips when he heard the words, and didn't say anything, "It's obviously not my fault, why? Ask me to apologize' etc childish words. You must know that reality is often not judged by axioms, but by strength!
Smacking his lips, "tsk tsk, what's the price?"
"You don't need to know this."
"Then say it, you Hateful that Lanbit?"
Lansa frowned: "Well?"
"Ha, you know." Tang En spread his hands, waving a knife and fork: "My strength Yes, and frankly speaking, I used to do Assassin, which is called Assassin. So, um, for everyone's acquaintance, I can give you a 10% discount and help you make a move to kill that hateful guy Don't worry, no one knows, how about it?"
