Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

Since a series of agricultural decrees were announced, Paul Graman has been living a busy and fulfilling life every day. In addition to reviewing the construction reports of the farmers' association sent by local officials every day, he also rides on horseback to inspect the villages near Lake Town from time to time.

A letter broke his life. The letter came from Lord Myron Garnard of Bayerdin, his "childhood friend".

The letter was written on a new type of paper produced by Alda. Paul was secretly proud of the letter. The paper he "invented" has gradually entered people's lives.

At first, the content inside seemed nothing. It was nothing more than asking about each other's well-being and talking about some interesting things that happened recently in his territory. It's just that some sentences didn't read very smoothly, which made Paul very upset.

"Really, I didn't know it, and I thought it was written by a child who just started learning."

The Earl shook his head and complained about this childhood friend mercilessly.

Wait a minute, Paul thought about it. In his memory, the two of them had also communicated with each other in the past. It seems that the guy's writing ability is not so bad.

Unless, it was that situation…

He ran back to his bedroom and started rummaging through the boxes. After a while, he finally found what he remembered. It was a box. After opening it, there were several thin pieces of wood inside. What was special was that these pieces of wood were hollowed out with irregularly arranged rectangular holes.

This was the "secret code" agreed upon by him and Myron in the past, used to hide some small secrets that could only be shared between the two of them in the letters.

For example, "I got spanked again last night, my father is a big bad guy", "I secretly poured out the butler's wine, it was really funny to see his face like he saw a ghost", "Today I saw my dad secretly touching the maid's butt", and so on, which would be very bad if seen by the parents.

Every time I wrote a secret letter, I would first spread the wood on the paper, fill in the words I wanted to write in the hollowed-out area, then remove the wood, fill in other words in the remaining blank space, and form an ordinary letter.

But because of this, the sentences combined were not smooth, or sometimes the context was not about the same thing, and other people looked a little confused.

In order to prevent being discovered by writing too many times in the same place, the two made a lot of such thin wood pieces. In the same set of wood pieces, the arrangement of the hollow holes on each piece is different.

The writer randomly chooses one piece to use, and the recipient has to cover it on the letter paper one by one until a smooth sentence is read.

"The candlestick... flew up... into the river..., it seems not this piece."

"Butler... the knight fell... caught fire..., this piece is not either."

"Delicious food... the mouse... fell into the ditch..., let's try other ones."

Paul took out the wood pieces in the box and put them on the letter paper one by one to try to decipher the ciphertext. He couldn't see it in the first 9 times. Finally, when he covered the 10th wood piece, a sentence with a very smooth first half was displayed:

"I overheard the conversation between the butler and them. My father was killed. Now they are going to attack me. Help,..." The words in the second half of the sentence are messy.

The terrible information revealed in the ciphertext shocked Paul. In order to prevent misunderstanding, he put the remaining wood chips on the letter paper one by one and tried them all, but the words he read out were not as smooth as the sentence just now.

Paul's heart sank suddenly. It seemed that his friend seemed to be caught in a conspiracy that was enough to endanger his life.

"Father was murdered", wasn't it the thing that Hansel used to warn him about "Old Garnard falling into the water"? At that time, he suspected that this was a conspiracy, because Old Garnard's reforms touched the interests of the vassals, and there was a great possibility that they would join hands to get rid of their lord.

Now that Old Garnard's son has overheard the conversation of the conspirators, this matter is a hammer.

Now the question is, the other party sent a letter for help, should he save him or not, the Earl is in a dilemma.

On the one hand, after recovering the memory of another world, although he has become a little indifferent to the interpersonal relationships before awakening, he is not so indifferent that he turns a deaf ear to his friends in trouble. Thinking of the scene when they played together when they were young, he is still quite touched.

On the other hand, his territory is just beginning to reform and the industry is just starting, and he really doesn't want to get involved in the outside world.

Another reason is that Garnad is not a guilty family like Graman. The Bayerding under his rule is a real earldom with five vassals: two viscounts and three barons. If all these guys are involved in the conspiracy, and he rashly goes to rescue them, they will team up to fight him hard. Can he beat them?

Let's figure out the situation first. Paul walked out of the bedroom, called a servant and ordered: "Let Hansel come to see me, quickly!"

...

In Butuya, the capital of Bayldin, a man slowly walked into a tavern, sat down at the bar, and shouted: "Boss, a glass of malt wine."

The tavern owner took a clean cup, filled it with wine from the barrel, and placed it in front of the guest, saying: "Please enjoy."

After the guest drank a few sips of wine, he chatted with the boss about all sorts of things, from the invasion of pirates in the west to the rebellion of the frontier officials in the south.

When he continued the second cup, he asked inadvertently: "You seem to have no pirates here, why are there so many soldiers on the street?"

The owner of the tavern replied casually: "Are you from the field? Several baron and vassals of Bayerdin gathered here, and their private soldiers were all their private soldiers on the street."

"Is something big?"

"The soldiers under Earl Ghanad were pulled by the royal family to the south to fight against the rebels. His Feng Chen said that he wanted to protect the lord's security and maintain Butuya's security. Hum!"

The last sentence "Hum" made him interested, and it seemed that things were not simple, so he whispered to ask the library owner: "Listening to your tone, is there any hidden feelings?"

The owner of the tavern glanced at him and did not answer.

The guests looked at the clothes pocket, patted it on the table gently, and said loudly, "checkout!"

When he took away his hand, a coin was left on the table. If it was copper coin, it was far from two cups of malt wine, but the key is that this is a silver coin.

The boss looked around. At this time, there were only two other guests in the tavern sitting in the corner to drink. He would not notice it. He collected the silver coin at a very fast speed.

The guests sitting in front of the bar got up, but heard the owner of the tavern say, "I still have my own beer brewed here. Why don't you taste a few cups?"

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

The corner of the guest's mouth raised slightly, and sat down again, "Then I will taste your special brewing beer! If you are delicious, come again next time." He patted his right hand on the table table, which can be seen from the fingers. A silver coin.

The owner of the tavern went to double the beer. The guests continued to hold on the table with their right hand, and picked up the cup with their left hand to drink.

I only heard the boss lowered his voice and whispered: "Did you hear the Earl Chanard in the past few years? You have to confiscate the territory of Fengchen and offend a bunch of men."

He nodded and knew.

"Then the Count drowned the water, but it was too strange to die. At least I knew that the Earl has excellent water nature from an early age."

The guests were surprised and whispered: "So he said that his Feng ministers killed him?"

The boss immediately shook his head: "This is what you guessed, I didn't say it."

The guest asked again: "Then? What does this have to do with the private soldiers on the street?"

The owner of the tavern once again checked whether someone noticed here next.

"After the Earl Elderly died, his son Master Magon inherited the title. But after that, the little count would not go out very much. A child who was so outgoing before, often went to the Alda to find the young master of the Graman family. Playing, inexplicably settled in the same way. "

The guests were holding the wine, while listening to the owner of the tavern, I continued: "Now several of the aimal ministers gathered in Butuya are relatives of the Ghanaard family, and the Earl is such a son, and the soldiers are not around." Then don't say it.

The guests put down the cup and asked, "If there is something wrong with Xiaoganard, would the title fall into the hands of a certain Feng Chen?"

The owner of the tavern said with a smile: "This is still you guess, I know this."

After holding the cup and drinking the rest of the wine, the guests pulled back their right hand and left the sophisticated silver coin below on the desktop.

"Your beer here is delicious, I will come next time!"

While saying that, he walked out of the tavern while he was in a hurry.

I went outside for a long time today, and I could only change it, you all, Haihan.
