Great time travel

Chapter 56. Holidays in Ita Rica
When the battle for the throne of the empire finally came to an end amidst the blood and flames burning across the sky, due to the distance and the speed of information transmission, the city of Ita Rica, located on the other side of the Romanian Mountains, For the time being, nothing is known about this upheaval.

At this moment, two months have passed since the visit of the "outsider" floating fleet.Although there was such a big noise at the beginning, with the departure of the floating fleet and the passage of time, the city of Ita Rica seems to have slowly regained its calm.

Of course, the visit of the outsiders brought some changes to the city after all—for example, when most of the troops of the outsiders escorted the [-] Asian refugees outside the city and the hostages After Princess Pingna withdrew, a small army remained behind.

"...Ding! Clang! Clap!"

In the oval-shaped arena in Ita Rica, at the door of a dark green military tent, accompanied by a few short and clear metal crashes, an unsharpened training sword fell from the female knight's hand. It flew out and plunged obliquely into the dry sand.

And Li Wei, the former paladin who easily knocked away his opponent's long sword, didn't bully him any further. Instead, he took a few steps back, put his sword back into its sheath, and commented in a disinterested manner, "...Ge The moves you block are good, and the speed of your movements is also very agile, but unfortunately your strength is not enough, no matter how exquisite your moves are, it is useless! If this is not a competition, but an actual combat, you should have become my prisoner by now, or have been hacked to death! "

"...You are right, thank you for your teaching." The beauty in men's clothing who was knocked down by Li Wei, the current acting head of the Rose Knights, and the captain of the White Rose Division Penny Pearl Fleur Galky The baroness was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile.And behind her, a group of female knights who watched the excitement couldn't help but lamented in unison: From this point of view, there is no way to get back the place from the hands of the outsiders.

——When Wang Qiu retreated from Ita Rica with the floating fleet and ground troops, out of consideration for maintaining contact and surveillance, he still left a ten-man team in the city, and appointed Li Wei as the acting city manager Captain.Because the most spacious place in the whole city, except for the noisy and noisy market square, is an oval arena similar to a modern stadium (refer to the cheap and simplified version of the Colosseum): in this place where entertainment is rather monotonous In the [-]s, the arena was one of the few "popular" entertainments besides gambling.Whenever the competition season comes, there will be gladiators fighting to the death here, just to make the audience smile.Occasionally, circuses come here to perform acrobatics for the people of the city.

However, the cost of a gladiatorial game that can kill people is much higher than that of a football game, but it can't be like a movie, where dozens of games are repeated every day.Especially in those small cities with a small population and limited financial resources and consumption capacity, there are generally only four or five gladiatorial competitions held every year.Under the special circumstances of wartime like today, the city of Ita Rica has even less financial resources and energy to hold any gladiatorial competitions.

Therefore, Li Wei ordered the requisition of this idle arena, and directly pitched the tents of the left-behind team on the arena.

In the first few days, the citizens of Ita Rica City were still quite afraid of the outsiders and always avoided them, but as time went by, it seemed that these outsiders did not do anything vicious The tyrannical act slowly put his heart back into his stomach, and he even began to be curious about these people from other worlds.Moreover, Li Wei, who stayed in the city, also followed the instructions of Arnus City to organize an auction in Ita Rica City every few days to sell some modern industrial products to the citizens. On the one hand, it was to show his goodwill Attitude, on the other hand, is to search for unique souvenirs from other worlds... After several contacts, the two sides gradually get to know each other, at least they can get along peacefully.

After all, on the Farmat continent, where wars and rebellions continue and national borders are volatile, it is as common for ordinary people to change their nationality as getting married and having children. It is difficult to cultivate any xenophobia.

Especially the female knights of the Rose Knights, all of them were originally proud noble ladies, who were used to bossing around and looking at people with their nostrils since they were young.The last time the floating fleet of aliens approached, the shock was so powerful that these female knights were almost scared to pee.But when the crisis eased temporarily, these female knights came back to their senses, and couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed and angry at the various ugly things they exposed at the beginning, but they were unwilling to admit their mistakes, so they naturally rose up. With a petty temper, she vented her anger on people from other worlds, and was going to find a way to get her back.

Of course, even though they became petty, these female knights still knew the importance.Right now, the two sides are still negotiating, and the attitudes of the Senate and the emperor to this matter are still unknown. The head of the princess group and a group of colleagues in the Knights are also hostages in the hands of outsiders.If an armed conflict is provoked rashly, no one can bear this responsibility... So, they just want to use their own skills to compete with outsiders in swordsmanship, riding skills, etc., to restore some self-esteem—even if they can People from other worlds who pilot huge ships soaring into the sky should have something they are not good at, right?
Among the small group of alien soldiers camped in the arena, most of them were miscellaneous soldiers wearing strange green clothes with strange patterns and holding strange metal instruments in their hands. Only their captain was wearing armor and a sword. , although there is no horse, but it seems to be a knight... So, after a few days, female knights from the Rose Knights came to the arena in full armor, and asked to compete with the captain of the knights from the outside world. sword.

But the problem is that the team leader they challenged happened to be a former infinite space reincarnation, Comrade Li Wei who was once awarded the title of "Holy Knight" by the Pope in medieval Europe-although Li Wei won the title of "Holy Knight" in medieval France. The title of "Knight" is a little watery, and his personal martial arts are far inferior to those legendary heroes who slay dragons and break the country, but no matter what, he has also been a member of the Knights of the Hospital for many years, participated in the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, and then Those who had led soldiers in the plane at the end of Ming Dynasty were extremely familiar with all kinds of cold weapon battles.Moreover, thanks to past adventures, he was also strengthened by Doraemon's future props, and the strength of his muscles is far better than many modern Hercules. It is not a problem to kill a bear with bare hands. The level of sniping may be relatively average, but the ability to ride horses and slash is absolutely unbearable.

However, Princess Pingna's Rose Knights are just a "toy army" with almost no actual combat experience... When the challenge of several female knights was easily defeated by Li Wei, the unconvinced female knights incited Ping After Princess Na's departure, the acting head of the group, Pei Nizhu, the leader of the Bai Qiangwei branch with the most powerful swordsmanship in the group, tried to ask her to help her find the place.It's a pity that even Penny Pearl is still not the one-stroke enemy of Li Wei, a titan.

For this, the female knights naturally felt very regretful...but it was only a regret.After all, the two sides have not really accumulated any hatred.And Li Wei's status as an officer from another world is enough to make the most delicate and savage young lady dare not do things without authorization.

So, after lamenting that their captain was still no match for this guy, a beautiful blond female knight stood up, fisted her chest respectfully, and gave Li Wei a military salute, "...Your Excellency, would you like The merchants who bought goods from you have already been summoned to the mansion of the lord. Please also take the goods to the car and follow us to the mansion of the manor!"

Li Wei nodded, reached out and touched the [four-dimensional pocket] in his arms, and then boarded the local lord's carriage and drove away...

When selling modern goods for the first two times, Li Wei led people to set up a stall directly on the market square in Ita Rica.

As a result, because of the identity of an "outsider", the hawkers and customers in the entire square were instantly scared away. After waiting for a long time, some people tremblingly came to inquire about the business... Next, because of the silk and colored porcelain displayed , Candies, cosmetic boxes, cheap jewelry, stainless steel tableware, enamel washbasins and hot water bottles and other gorgeous-looking modern earth goods are self-evidently alluring to the residents of Ita Rica. Good fate, the set price is relatively low, but the situation in the market soon went to another extreme - the citizens who put down their guards flocked to buy various products from outsiders. A novel commodity, and even a fight and a stampede...

Of course, this is not the most troublesome problem.To make matters worse, as with all ancient bazaars, any overcrowding of transactions will attract the attention of pickpockets and gangsters.These greedy rats in the gutter don't care about diplomatic conflicts and the risk of war. They immediately mixed in the crowd and stole the money bag. Then they tried to snatch the silk and stainless steel tableware from the stalls of the outsiders, but they bumped into them. Iron plate——Levy, who had been a knight master for several years in medieval Europe, was not the kind of UN peacekeeping commander who was said to be unable to fight back. He immediately ordered to shoot back and overturned him on the spot. Six thieves and hooligans captured another little leader who instructed them, shot them on the spot in the market, and then erected a row of metal racks to hang their corpses to the public... From then on, no one in the city dared to fight casually. A bad idea from outsiders.

If it was just like this, then no one would care about the fate of these dregs of society. Without these people, the law and order in the city would only get better.But the problem is, because the bullets don't have eyes, the stray bullets at that time accidentally injured eight innocent citizens, including the old housekeeper and two maids of Earl Vermar's house... In order to prevent such unfortunate things from happening again, the local lord, Under the plea of ​​Little Loli Miu, Countess of Vermar, Knight Li Wei changed the location of the stall from the open market square to the lord's mansion surrounded by high walls.And the customers who can come to trade directly have also changed from all citizens who are mixed with fish and dragons to limited to gentlemen and businessmen with status, that is to say, from retail to wholesale.

In this way, not only the speed of completing the business is greatly accelerated, but also the security and order of the transaction site can be guaranteed.

Of course, Li Wei and the others’ profits will also decrease because of this, but their original goal at this stage is not to make a lot of money directly, but to gain fame and spread their influence, so it doesn’t matter as long as they don’t lose money... So the two sides It can be said that everyone is happy.

When Li Wei's carriage drove into the courtyard of the lord's mansion, a group of merchants in robes had already been waiting in the courtyard, and the female knights of the Rose Knights were also wearing gorgeous armor, holding spears and battle axes, Stand guard all around.

After getting out of the car, Li Wei waved his hand calmly in the face of the greetings and flattery from the merchants, and then walked to an open space with a pre-drawn white line, and put boxes and bundles of goods from [ I took it out from my four-dimensional pocket], piled it on the open space to show everyone, and at the same time announced loudly: "...Today is still the same as the previous few times, the old rules! I brought fifteen kinds of goods, auctioned by type! No Retail, no bargaining, you decide how much to pay, or what kind of rare thing to exchange! I will decide whether to sell or not. The auction starts now..."
