On the Seven Towers

"Today's battle is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?" Xiao Chen and Luo Ling were walking on the road to the market together. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and glanced back. There were two men wearing cloaks and hiding semi-automatic rifles. Soldiers, follow them. Those are Cai Long and Zhang Mujie.

Cloaks are very common in the local area, and merchants who come and go like this kind of dusty dress. However, the two people mixed in the crowd were quite conspicuous. They were tall and had completely different spirits from the people around them. The military temperament is just different, like two white geese walking among the chickens.

Xiao Chen bought an informant around the dwarf's shop, so he would know if there was any big movement in the blacksmith shop. News came today that the commander of the city guard wanted to cause trouble for the dwarves. He knew that the opportunity had come, so he went to rescue the people.

"Go forward with peace of mind. What's the big deal if there are two more people?" Luo Ling reminded.

"Aren't you just worried that they will scare Farrell? That old dwarf is very suspicious." Xiao Chen touched his chin, "Do you want just the two of us to go in? Otherwise, if these two great gods follow Farrell's house, he will think We have bad intentions.”

"Hey, Xiao Chen, why are you talking? What do you mean by being scared?" Cai Long behind him said dissatisfied.

"You are very murderous."

"Xiao Chen, look at my face carefully." Cai Long pointed at himself, "I'm younger than you, right? Sunny, right? Handsome, right?" After saying that, he deliberately grinned. If it weren't for wearing a cloak and holding a gun, he would still be What a sunny boy.

Xiao Chen was speechless, but Luo Ling laughed: "Okay, isn't it because I thought you might be in danger, did Lao Chen send Xiao Cai and the others? It's not like you don't know the virtues of those nobles, maybe you can say something If you don't agree, start the movie. There are still people in the team muttering that you are looking for trouble." Xiao Chen didn't know that she still had a pistol she got from Chen Hansheng in her small bag.

"I am in a hurry to recruit him. My friends in the science and technology group have told me before that many materials in this world are slightly different from those on the earth. Research in basic disciplines, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and materials is the most expensive. , to waste time. So, the easiest way is to absorb the results of the locals, "Don't underestimate Farrell, his enchanting technology can make it easier." The material produces such strange effects. On earth, he is a master in metallurgical manufacturing. How can I not be jealous of such a treasure? The best way to deal with such a technician is to use unheard of technology to seduce him. That’s why I showed off the dagger. I had a hunch that when our science and their magic collide, something will surprise us.”

"Daredevil!" She said this, but Luo Ling still looked at his excitement with a smile.

"I was indeed reckless when I tried to attract people when we met before. When it comes to falling in love, there is a priority, first, second and third." Xiao Chen said with a thief smile, "But since I have been reckless, I have to do it to the end. Bring Farrell in no matter what."

Luo Ling said somewhat meaningfully: "It's not just your trouble. If we can't reach an agreement, maybe Farrell will be in more trouble."

"I drank and went to bed early yesterday. What were you and Chen Hansheng thinking about afterwards? You..." Xiao Chen stared at Luo Ling, trying to read something from her eyes, "You can't agree." Just want to kill people and silence them?”

"What are you thinking about? Have you watched too many gangster movies?" Luo Ling tilted her head and glanced at him, then walked forward on her own.

————————————————————————

Baron Gregory Bailey, wearing leather armor and holding a riding crop, walked into Farrell's blacksmith shop. Farrell and his two sons were loading the goods he had come to pick up. They wrapped the crudely made weapons and armor in thatch, put them into simple baskets, and then covered them with a piece of coarse cloth, and the packaging was complete.

"Baron Gregory, these are the equipment of a city lord. Take them away in one batch. We will clear both of them this year." Farrell did not stop when he saw Gregory coming in. He said while doing this work, The attitude is definitely not enthusiastic.

Baron Gregory frowned. The new city lord who took office two months ago had already set his sights on Farrell, but the dwarf hadn't noticed it yet. He originally came to trouble the dwarf today according to the wishes of the new city lord, and the dwarf's attitude undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. The baron kept banging the riding crop in his hand and walked around several packed baskets, with full disgust on his face.

"Don't wrap it up in a hurry, let me see what it is." He spat out these words, and then picked up a piece of cloth with a riding crop.

The basket was really a mess. Various parts of armor and some short swords and daggers were piled messily in the thatch.

"Humph! Is this what you told the Lord of the City?" Baron Gregory kicked the basket to the ground, and the armor and weapons inside fell out. Baron Gregory stepped on a piece of breastplate. The breastplate made an unpleasant creaking sound and then cracked a large gap.

Garbage among garbage, these dwarves are becoming more and more lawless, how dare they fool the city lord like this. Gregory raised the cracked breastplate in front of the dwarf with a kick: "Bastard! You are a lowly dwarf, a rat's cub. The Lord of the City gave you shelter so that your whole family did not starve to death in the wilderness. This is how you are. To repay him? Are you going to let my brothers die wearing this?"

"This is unfair! The city lord directly requisitions our equipment every time without paying a single copper. Our blacksmith shop can't continue to operate, where can we get the money to prepare the equipment?" One of Farrell's sons was unconvinced. argued.

Gregory didn't look at him at all. He directly picked up the riding crop and slapped the young dwarf hard on the face. The whip glowed with fighting spirit and was as fast as lightning. In just a few strokes, the dwarf was killed. His face was covered with blood and he screamed.

Farrell roared angrily, and a fire-like red fighting energy erupted from his body. He grabbed Grigori's whip with one hand.

But Gregory had a sneer on his face and looked at Farrell without moving at all.

Farrell clenched his fists, veins popped out, and the tip of the riding crop he held suddenly started to smoke.

Grigori faced him confidently, and gradually the vindictive light on Farrell dimmed, and his expression became depressed. He loosened the whip in his hand, bent down with difficulty and said to the baron: "Please spare this ignorant child, I...I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Farrell, you actually used fighting spirit to attack a noble? I don't think you need to open your shop anymore. Come with me and make me weapons in the city guard's dungeon." Gregory waved his hand. With a wave, a group of sturdy soldiers rushed in. A few of them grabbed Farrell, while others rushed into the house and started speculating.

Farrell was held down from all sides by four soldiers. His face turned red and his whole body was trembling as he looked at Gregory. He clenched his hands into fists and then released them. He didn't know whether he should resist or resign himself to fate. At this moment, he already understood that Gregory and his party were here to cause trouble today, and no matter what, he would end up being locked in the dungeon. In this era, civilians, especially foreigners like him, had no status in front of the nobles. Maybe he could complain and scold the city lord when he was drunk, but when the other party got serious, he was completely powerless to resist.

Gregory hit Farrell on the forehead with the handle of his riding crop, "I heard that you kept a lot of good things in the inner room. Now that the equipment has been confiscated by the city guard, even if you damage my Compensation for your beloved riding crop. A dwarf slave only needs work, no property..."

In the middle of what he was saying, Gregory suddenly stopped, and then his face twisted silently, and dripping cold sweat broke out from his forehead, flowing along his eyebrows and covering his cheeks. His cheeks had now turned blue-white and were shaking unnaturally. Gregory covered his chest and tried his best to hold his lips to prevent himself from screaming.

Fear, boundless fear came from all directions, and he was like a drowning man, overwhelmed by the tide of fear. The source of fear was behind him. He didn't dare to look, didn't want to look, just squatted down, put his hands on the ground, and shivered.

"What's going on here?" a man's voice came from behind.

At this time, Baron Gregory felt that his spirit relaxed, and the extreme fear suddenly receded, and he could finally breathe out. He stood up tremblingly and looked behind him cautiously, and found two familiar men and women standing at the gate, followed by two stern-looking guards, holding unknown magic items in their hands. This is... a magician! They are magicians!

"Isn't this Baron Gregory of the city guard? Some time ago, when we entered the city, we had a conversation at the gate." Xiao Chen looked at Gregory with a half-smile, but his eyes were sharp. And shocking.

"You are Mr. Magician from afar. It was you just now..." Baron Gregory's finger pointed at Xiao Chen, but it was shaking greatly.

"Ah, Mr. Farrell is a partner of Master Icasa and I. We just saw the flash of swords inside and thought someone was robbing us, so we cast a little magic to calm everyone down and not be impulsive. No one was accidentally hurt. Bar?"

"No...no, you said Master Icasa is the partner of this bastard...dwarf?" Baron Gregory asked in disbelief, "I have been dealing with him, how come I have never heard of this? ”

"Are you going to question the magician's integrity?" Luo Ling asked sternly.

"Of course, no." Gregory seemed to be very afraid of Luo Ling. In his opinion, the horrible magic just now was probably done by this arrogant female mage. "But, he just offended me, so he also offended me." Suero's law, I have to take him away."

Xiao Chen waved his hands and said: "I don't care about these, but I am very concerned about whether Master Icasa and I can build the experimental equipment in time. Master Icasa has some new ideas recently and is eager to experiment? You know what a mage is who is anxious to be studied, right?"

Bailey's expression changed several times, as if he remembered some unbearable past event. He said with some hesitation: "But the city lord has been dissatisfied with his shoddy work for a long time, so it's not easy to let him go like this."

"I heard that Suero is the capital of gold coins. There is an article in the law that any crime can be atonement with gold coins?" Xiao Chen took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket, "There are ten gold coins here, are they enough to offset the crime?" His sin, let him serve us wholeheartedly?”

"Ten gold coins?"

"With all due respect, using these gold coins to pay for the equipment of ordinary soldiers should be more than enough, right?"

Of course it was more than enough. Even if similar equipment was purchased from other blacksmiths, it would only cost five gold coins at most. Baron Gregory did not want to experience the fear he had just experienced again, so he took the gold coins very cooperatively, then bowed and said, "Farel has redeemed all his sins. You can send him as you wish."
