For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 53 Deception and Shock

Hearing these words, Shane fell silent.

The two had discussed the return of Meric before, but the action of the kingdom knight was too fast.

It took only half a day to get ready to leave after entering the camp, and even this half day was to confirm Xia En's safety, not to adjust and rest.

After thinking for a long time, Xia En only stretched out his hand and patted Meric on the shoulder, "Melic, I will remember the journey here... If there is anything that needs me after returning to the kingdom, please let me know."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Meric also sighed for a moment, "The situation on the border is getting more and more tense right now. I don't know what will happen if I go this time."

While talking, he put on his felt hat, stepped on his waist with a sword, and walked straight to the gate, "I won't say goodbye. I wish you, Xia En, all the best in the future, and I also hope that my journey back to the kingdom... a smooth journey."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain, stepped out of the tent steadily, and headed straight for his white horse.

Xia En followed out of the camp gate, watching the distant figure of the knight of the kingdom, and did not speak for a long time.

It wasn't until Meric rode on the white horse and rode out of the camp that he turned around, ready to discuss the next thing with Li Wei.

Then I was almost taken aback.

Because Li Wei also followed out of the camp without a sound, and was staring at the direction where Merici disappeared in a daze.

Xia En opened his mouth. He wanted to speak seriously, but in the end he grabbed Li Wei's shoulders and said in a frivolous tone, "Li Wei, your attitude towards Meric was normal before, right? How did you get to parting?" At that time, why are you so reluctant?"

Li Wei glanced at him, "You are allowed to thank him, but I am not allowed to thank him?"

"Huh? Who gave me a ride?" Sean scratched his head in surprise, "If Ollie hadn't asked Meric to give me a ride, would you have come here?"

"You thanked him?"

"You..." Li Wei was short of breath, but the words just stuck in his throat and he couldn't get out.

Sean was right, he did hitchhike here.

Even without that black cloak, if he could keep up with Corvey's team, he would still be robbed by the bandits, and maybe he would have to be rescued by Sean in the end...

"Okay, let's talk about what's going on in Winter Springs next." Xia En's right arm stretched a little bit, causing Li Wei to grin his teeth, trying to break free, but he couldn't, "Li Wei, how far are you from being promoted to 'practicing medicine' now? "

"Less than half... No, why are you asking this?" Li Wei looked at him warily.

"Hey, you can answer whatever you want." Xia En directly dragged him back to the tent, "It's much worse, I would say take you to Winter Springs and work hard, maybe you can be promoted a lot earlier. Almost, I will He will say to take you to Winter Springs to take a risk, maybe you can be directly promoted."

"Hey, Sean... have you already made up my mind?"

"Nonsense, there are very few capable users of the 'life' path in the northern border, not to mention you are still a 'pharmacist', I don't stare at you, it's something wrong with me."

"Am I still...qualified to refuse?" Li Wei was stunned by this sentence, and struggled for a long time before dying.

"You can refuse, I'm afraid that you will be spotted by Clancy and taken to Icefield Town." Shane spread his hands, "If you think Irene and I are not so trustworthy, you can follow them !"

"Forget it, I've met quite a few similar nobles in Imprienne, and all of them wanted to squeeze me dry." Li Wei shook his head quickly, "I'd better go with you."

"Enlightened." Xia En smiled, "That's fine, you rest first, and wait for my news!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and turned to leave, leaving only a back view of Li Wei who made his teeth itch with hatred.

……

"Riemann, where's the leader and Shane?" In the evening, Mendes, who had prepared his team and was about to set off the next morning, found Riemann.

"I don't know...they aren't in the camp?" Riemann was a little surprised, "It's already this time, so it's impossible to go outside the camp, right?"

Not getting an answer, Mendes just shook his head, ready to ask other people about the situation.

He still has some things to discuss with Shane and Irene.

"Wait, Mendes, I suddenly remembered." Just as Mendes turned to leave the tent, Riemann suddenly stopped him, "In the afternoon, Shane came to ask who is in charge of the equipment in the camp. I told him that Mikorn was in charge."

Mikorn is another veteran who belongs to the same neutral faction as Riemann, and is called "old and immortal" by Riemann.

"It's reasonable to ask for more equipment before departure." Mendes nodded slightly, "I'll go to the craftsman workshop to have a look."

"You don't want to hold Xia En to get the equipment, do you?" Riemann held his forehead, feeling a little headache, "I'll go with you, so you won't make things worse."

Mendez didn't comment, but just strode straight to the artisan workshop - this is located on the southeast side of the camp, surrounded by several elite rebel troops in rotation.

Just approaching the craftsman's workshop, the two heard Mikorn's exclamation from inside, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"How much equipment did Sean ask for? Why does Mikorn's voice sound like his waist has been poached by him." Riemann couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, "This old man wants to fight every day. Equipment, making equipment, equipment is the same as his life."

"Mickon was the former chief craftsman of Beidi County, and it's normal to have this attitude."

"Normal fart, they say let him make more muskets and less unrealistic ideas, he is still thinking about reproducing the steam rifle..." Riemann couldn't help but cursed, "As a result, until now, The production of muskets in the camp did not increase much either."

Mendes didn't answer this time.

Because all the veterans of the rebel army knew that although the steam rifle was powerful, it was still an absolute rarity even in the era when the lords were still alive.

Let three or four senior steam craftsmen work day and night for a month before they can produce two or three.

There may also be differences in steam rifles due to differences in craftsmanship, materials, and craftsman status.

Knocking on the door of the artisan workshop, Mendez waited for a moment, but got no response.

He paused for a moment, then pushed open the door and looked inside.

"Impossible. I have been a steam craftsman for so many years, and I have been the chief craftsman for so many years. I have never seen a steam rifle that can be transformed and upgraded into a supernatural item!"

"Steam technology is a technological item and has nothing to do with Chaofan!"

"Boy, from which rock crevice did you jump out, and you can knead these two things together!"

What came into view was Mikorn's disheveled hair, his gray beard, and even talking nonsense.

Mendes couldn't help but glanced at Riemann, only to find that the other party had the same emotions as him in his eyes.

Mickon...what's the matter?
He usually doesn't pick and choose all the time, as if everyone owes him a thousand gold coins...

Why are you so crazy today?
