I came out of the station and walked on the road. The view here was quite broad. I looked into the distance. There was an observation tower some distance away at the boundary between farmland and houses. There was a big clock in the center of the top of the tower. And there were several figures looking around.

Zuosheng was walking in front, and I was following behind. I felt like there were two tails behind me, but I didn't pay attention to them. I guessed that they must have been sent by the middle-aged uncle with a mustache.

I looked around, and the faces of everyone living here felt very gloomy. Although they were not without energy, it was obvious that their lives were very depressing.

Soon we passed by a market, most of which sold dry goods, and there were very few fresh ingredients. Although the pedestrians on the road were not as skinny and skinny as above, they felt almost the same. Everyone's clothes were full of patches.

After all, the land that can be used here is limited, and there are so many people to feed. I guess these people have never had enough to eat in the true sense.

"The battle lines seem to be pushed back again. How long can we hold on here?"

I heard a few people gathering together in the market on one side and talking quietly about something.

"Stop saying that!"

"What to do if the samurai hears it!"

Others had complicated expressions when they heard the word warrior.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't want to get arrested."One person shook his head and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

I heard the samurai in their conversation and remembered the scene where the group was scared into hysterics by an ordinary person just now.

"Now, the samurai you're talking about are the ones with steam guns?"I asked, thinking of the little fat man in front of me.

"Um? do not you know?"This time it was Zhisheng's turn to be surprised.

"Just think that I'm from far away."I waved my hand

"That's right, those people are indeed samurai."Zhengsheng glanced at me and continued walking forward.

"Are you afraid of them?"

"....That's right."I seemed a little confused when it came to this young man.

Soon we left the market and passed through the maze-like streets. We came to the door of a small house. Two pieces of cloth were hung at the door to block the door.

"come in."Zhuosheng lifted the door curtain with one hand, turned to me and said.

I walked in and saw a bunch of refining equipment in the small room, and there were many pipes with round valves all over the room. at

"Is this your workshop?"I continued to look at it and asked Zhisheng

"No, it's Ikoma's to be precise."The arrogant man squatted on the ground and didn't know what he was doing.

"Ikoma? Is that the green-haired guy wearing glasses?"

"Boy? No matter how you look at it, you are relatively young, right?"The student opened his mouth and looked at me

"how old are you?"

"Um? I am twelve this year!"I replied with a smile in my heart.

"Ha~~He is still a child after all...."After hearing this, the squatting student lowered his head and sighed.

"Well, it doesn't matter. By the way, what's your name?"The student stood up again and looked at me with the metal for repair.

"you can call me sven"

"ha? S-Sven?"Hearing my words, the student didn't seem to understand what I meant. He frowned and tilted his head and looked at me.

I thought about it, and it seems that the names of the people here do not sound like this.

"Forget it, you should just call me Yazhongyue, just the moon."I gave another name

"Eight moons? Is your last name Yae? You actually have a last name?"Zheng Sheng looks a little incredible.

"Why don't you have a last name?"I walked over and handed the sword to him

"Of course, not many steam craftsmen like us have a surname."The handsome man took the sword and looked at it, and then quickly started repairing it.

"So you only have a name, just call it"Zhengsheng"?"

"Yes, by the way, I haven’t thanked you for helping Ikoma yet."

"a piece of cake."I waved my hand and came to a table. There were several books and a design drawing. It was something I had never seen before. It was obviously different from a steam cylinder.

"What's this?"

"Um? Oh, that, that is a new weapon designed by Ikoma, called the cannon, although it is not yet completed."The student took a glance and continued working.

I looked at the drawings with complex networks on the long table on the other side, and several steel plates placed behind them.

I picked them up and looked at them. Although the steel plates were dented, But there wasn't much damage,

"It seems that he wants to use this to penetrate the iron plate, but the effect is not very good."I put everything back far away

"He, this is what he is thinking about all day long, but in the end, you also see that thing over there."Zhangsheng pointed to one side.

I looked at the wooden barrel in the corner and there was a strange thing on it. It looked basically the same as the one on the drawing just now. It was a metal cylinder wrapped with several black fixed rings. In the middle of the cylinder is a very thick steel nail, and behind the object is a pressure gauge.

"Really, I love to show off like this every time."Zhuosheng's voice sounded helpless.

I looked at it and put it back. I picked up the book on the side and read it. They were all about steam, gears and the like.

During this period, I also had a conversation with Zhuosheng. We chatted without saying a word.

I also learned about this world. This is a country called Hinomoto. That kind of monster suddenly appeared twenty years ago, and people were afraid so they built many cities called stations like this. , and began to connect each other with Juncheng. In addition, I also learned other things.

This post is Xianjin Post. The people who rule here are the Sifangchuan family who live in the city within the city in the center of the city. And I heard that He was said to be related to the upper echelons of the country.

It soon became dark, and the maintenance of the silver sword was also completed.

"Okay, I'll give it to you, but you should also consider changing to a sword. The main body has been damaged. There are many swords in the shops used by samurai in the market. Or you can wait for Ikoma to come back and ask him to help you. Build one. Although the main weapons now are guns, Ikoma's research on swords and the like is also genius-like!"Zhang Sheng suggested.

I nodded. In fact, I wanted to find a stronger weapon, but there is nothing convenient now. It would be okay to find some consumables.

I took over the silver sword, and now the main thing that limits my weapons is The reason is not only that the materials are not suitable, but also that my ability does a lot of damage to the weapon.

I didn't notice it at first, but later when I came back from Lingfeng for repairs, I found that the inside of the sword could no longer support it. There are all cracks, so I integrated the willow leaf into it, otherwise the sword wouldn't even be able to hold up now and would have been broken long ago.

"I understand, thank you."I thanked Zhansheng

"how much is this?"

"No need for money or anything like that, just treat it as thank you"

"That's not okay. If you work hard, I will pay the corresponding price."I smiled and took out a piece of broken silver from the pocket behind me and threw it over.

"Uh-oh!"The student quickly stretched out his hands to catch the black shadow flying towards him, and the next moment he opened his hands

"Silver, silver!!"Zhengsheng looked at me with his eyes wide open, full of shock.

"No no no! This is too much!"

"Take it, thanks to you I know a lot of things here, otherwise you and the person named Ikoma will share the reward at that time. After all, I have seen a lot of this."As I said that, I shook the book in my hand. There was not only knowledge in it, but also a lot of handwritten records.

"this...Oh well."Zhang Sheng finally accepted it, carefully wrapped it up with a handkerchief and put it in his arms.

"Then let's go get some food and take a look at how Ikoma is doing. I guess he hasn't eaten either."Zhang Sheng looked at me and suggested.

It seems that the people imprisoned in this kind of place basically have nothing to eat. If no one comes to deliver it, they will basically starve to death. One less person here means they can get more food.

I'll order I nodded and stood up. I was indeed a little hungry.

"Hello! anyone there!"This is a man holding a steam tube walking in from outside with a vicious expression on his face.

"Hello! Boy, fix this for me!"Using an extremely unreasonable voice, it was as if he was giving another order.

After checking the results, he quickly replied:"I understand, please come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon."

"cut! Repair it quickly! I'll come tomorrow morning." The man looked unhappy and left without giving any explanation.

"well~!"The student took a look at the steam tube in his hand and sighed.

"I probably understand why people here have such complicated attitudes towards samurai."I said as I looked at the departing figures.

A series of negative emotions such as pressure and fear when facing the monsters outside were vented on these people.

Although people entrusted their protection from Kabbah Injury within, but relatively having to withstand the oppression of these warriors

"This has always been the case."Zhengsheng accepted it with an indifferent expression.

"It seems that I have to work overtime tonight, but what about Ikoma?"Zhengsheng planned to rush to work tonight, but he thought of Ikoma again.

"Leave it to me over there."

Zhengsheng turned his head and looked at me

"It just so happens that I also want to have a chat with him."

"Really, then it’s up to you! You wait here for a moment."

After finishing speaking, the student ran outside and came back soon after, holding two things wrapped in bamboo leaves.

"What's this?"I picked one up and smelled it, and then I smelled a food-like smell with the fragrance of bamboo leaves.

"Is this food?"

"Of course, what do you usually eat?"

"I...Almost the same"

"?"

"Okay, let’s not talk anymore, then I’m going to go"

"Please, Ikoma should be in the wooden prison not far from Sifangchuan Residence. You can easily see it."

"I see."I put my rice bag away into the small bag behind me and set off.

I returned to the market. At this time, many people with dirt on their bodies and various farm tools were returning from the fields far away from the town. Walking, the streets that seemed a little deserted during the day became lively.

I randomly bought some food at a street stall and set off towards my goal. As for the tail behind me? Let’s talk about it as long as you can keep up with me.
