In April of the year 3579, outside the southwest border of the Northern Industrial Territory, a mechanical motorcycle rider was running on a wild road. The tires of the motorcycle he was sitting on were almost as big as tractor tires. This was an off-road motorcycle.

This knight's figure is very stable during drag racing, and the saddle under his butt is magnetically levitated.
Robin is a knight from the industrial age in the Northern Territory. With the development of industrialization in recent years, the passing rate of knights has been much higher.
However, the complexity of the assessment has also greatly increased.
In addition to ensuring eight hours of basic sleep every day, there are also ten hours of physical training and various nutritional supplements according to the most scientific plan.
Cultural courses also need to be assessed. Although it is not necessary to be able to prepare runes to release arcane spells like a regular rune arcane mage, you must understand the 127 sets of basic runes and be able to see through the energy channels released by arcane spells.
Otherwise, if there is something wrong with your motorcycle, and it can be cured by simply connecting the wiring, but it is not serious, just send it back to the mechanical department for repair.
As for moral cultivation, well, Mr. Wei is very tolerant of this. He does not engage in any feudal patriarchal suppression, but only restrains it with integrity records in accordance with the disciplinary system of the industrial era.
The knights are on duty in the industrial area every day to perform firefighting and rescue work, and every knight team has won a banner.
Compared with the old knights in the south, the young knights in the north are very down-to-earth.
~
Robin has now left the Northern Territory and is heading southwest. The carriages around him are surprised by his ride along the way.
Robin silently judged: "The gap between our (northern) development and that of the south has become wider and wider in recent years."
After walking another hundred kilometers, the sky navigation prompted a shortcut, and Robin turned the motorcycle around halfway.
As a result, after half an hour, Robin yelled at the navigation system because this shortcut was a muddy road.
For the steel wheels of other motorcycles, manganese steel sheets had to be ejected to enhance off-road capabilities.
After the motorcycle started driving like this, a large amount of mud was thrown all over itself, and the originally majestic black protective clothing instantly turned into terracotta warriors and horses.
His protective suit is made of rubber steel wire composite material and ceramic shell. It is the lightest and most effective heavy armor after extensive testing, and its appearance is full of technology.
As for now?
Robin cursed, there was no road here, it was like a wild boar going off-road.
But he had to go on the path chosen by the navigation system. He activated the dust-proof device to protect the high-precision structure of the motorcycle. The entire motorcycle clicked out of the streamlined shell, and the water-cooled runes were activated for heat dissipation.
A small hole spurts out white steam, continuing to soar towards its destination.
~
Wait until he reaches the south,
When he turned on the communicator on the motorcycle again, the mechanical maintenance engineers in the north command center burst out laughing after seeing him like this.
Of course, he was signaled to arrive at the nearest support area for maintenance.
Robin Knight's current mission is to conduct investigations among the many coastal city-states on the crescent-shaped peninsula where Egg Snow Territory is located.
Including him, there are a total of 25 knights in the north, starting from different road networks, and finally meeting in the largest city. This is why some people are matched on bad roads.
According to Mr. Wei's concept: no matter what road, someone needs to walk it again. In this way, when encountering an emergency, there will be room for choice.
~
As for bringing as many as 25 knights here,
It was because in the year 3579 of the Feng Fu calendar, a number of kingdom knights disappeared inexplicably in the Xixue territory, and the royal capital had obviously already investigated it.
But now the handling of this matter has been handed over to the Northern Territory. That is to say, the king personally wrote a letter and handed it to his nephew Carret.
In Carrette's opinion, the tone was probably like that of an elder urging marriage, asking to go to the peninsula territory to marry the female lord there and inherit the land. She was the best friend that Roxanne introduced back then.
Carret didn't listen at all to the king's urging for marriage, but this territory was a good springboard for industrial and economic expansion. The system reminded itself last year to be prepared for expansion.
So, he first sent knights to investigate. For Carret, if he wanted to obtain the governance rights of a certain territory, there was no need to consider selling himself to gain inheritance rights.
Today, Karet has completed industrial centralization in the northern territories. None of the nobles below are obedient.
Under the Industrial Governance Code, aristocratic privileges could only be exercised within their own estates.
Carret is very clear about his own needs. He only needs to implement the industrial order recognized by everyone. As for the privileges of the nobility, he is not required.
However, if territorial inheritance rights can reduce resistance during the expansion process, Carret is willing to put in some effort.
For example, the twenty-five knights selected by Carret are all people with good character, good looks, and ability.
Wei Keng: "It should, it seems, be attractive to the countess of this territory."
System supervisors are quite satisfied with Wei Keng's method of "sending beauties and temptations to his subordinates at all levels." They praised Wei Keng: "He has a clear mind and sticks to his job."
Of course, the first premise of all this is that "there is nothing wrong with this countess."
For his own knights, Karet will occasionally let them investigate the cesspit, but will never let them jump into the fire pit. The abnormal situation on the Snow Collar must be clarified.
Karit stared at Xixue Ling with helpless eyes: "I have high-quality men here. When I enter the imperial capital in the future, I will be given the resources of my cousins. After the establishment of the constitution, the regent of the Egg Empire should be born in the north and experience
A revolutionary in the industrial age."
~
Roxanne never dreamed that her method of recommending best friends to Carrette would be copied and copied by Mr. Wei.
Karit: "You are allowed to have best friends, but I am not allowed to have fans?"
Judging from the definition of the concept of "industry", there is room for improvement in all aspects, and Wei Keng is not the kind of personality who "takes everything".
When Karet is sure that he has a bright path and is glorious enough, there is no need to occupy something like the throne. If he fully occupies it, it may hinder his main goal.
The development of industry must break the feudal hierarchy. As the founder of industry, with the aura of industrial development, he inherited the throne of the Xingche family, which is tantamount to strengthening the feudal hierarchy.
So. Carret placed the historical figures of this stage at the breakthrough point of the poor knights.
~
In the territory of Alteran, Karet wore homespun clothes and sneaked into the city first.
After looking in the mirror, I applied a little strong tea juice on my face, which soon turned brown. Then, I applied a light amount of latex on my forehead and the corners of my eyes. In this way, after the glue dried, it
Wrinkly wrinkles will form.
Putting on a tattered dress, Carrette quickly transformed into a middle-aged man.
Carrette asked Grace: "Look, I don't have any flaws now, do I?"
As the hero of the legion, Grace has a keen sense of spies. He said to Master Ka: "Your face has changed a lot, but it does not match your current clothes. The clothes you are wearing now are in the city."
For the clothes of the lower-class residents, their faces are not only dark brown, but there should also be scars on their hands, and there should be pits on their faces left by mosquito bites."
Karit nodded and gave the legion commander a thumbs up.
Then he put on the clothes of a small businessman and the middle class and asked, "Does this match?"
Grace: "The number of small businessmen in an area is limited, and the small businessmen are the most well-informed group. It is not good for you to appear suddenly in this capacity."
Karit: "..."
Grace: "Your Highness, you are chatting happily with ordinary people in your own territory. But you are always extraordinary. It is better for you to visit the lord here in a normal manner. If you really want to hide,
Then use magic means to cover your whereabouts."
Carrette paused, put on another set of clothes and said, "It is more accurate to take a look at this territory from multiple perspectives."
Carret raised his hand and clicked on the map: "The royal capital has thrown out such a large territory inexplicably. This territory is a piece of fat for the nobles of all parties. Now it is given to me. I always feel that
It’s a little abnormal.”
Grace: "Can it be understood that the king wants to pass on the position of heir smoothly?"
Carret: "Maybe that's the case, but! What if it's not? For me, inheritance rights are nothing. But in the cause of industrial development, I don't allow any interference from external factors."
~
at the same time,
The king was reading the news that the knights in the northern industrial territory had gone south on various routes. The king silently walked to the bookshelf. The bookshelf rotated to reveal the entrance to a secret room, and he walked in. The lights in the secret room also flickered.
Bang, when the harsh bell rang, the pointer pointed to a special value.
There was a mirror in front of the king, and the face of a high-level mage appeared on the mirror.
Mage: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Bollans has confirmed that you have fulfilled the contract, and he has agreed to release a group of your knights first."
A contract on huge scales flashed in front of the king. The contract shone along the lines of the scales.
The king said: "If this blue dragon wants to occupy the peninsula for a long time, he should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the empire's defense against the Sea Tribe."
Mage: "Yes, Your Majesty, in terms of the contract, His Majesty Bolans attaches great importance to the prosperity of his territory."
The king closed his eyes and said: "My nephew is in the north. You can ask him for ransom, but you cannot hurt him."
The mage said: "As you think, but your nephew is very cautious, he did not directly go to the peninsula territory to succeed."
~
Here, in the Fine Snow Territory, the mechanical motorcycle knights of the Northern Territory have gathered.
Grace, the legion commander, led through magic communication. In groups of five, these young men went to the ports on the peninsula territory and discussed the details of the investigations in different areas.
And Karite has also blended into the city. He wears an apron, drags a cart, and sells fried dough sticks in the morning and pancakes and spicy hotpot at noon at the market in the business district. He can be considered blended into the city.
The incompatibility between Carrette and small businessmen that Grace mentioned was made up for by decades of old craftsmanship.
No, a pancake is condensed into a skin from the batter on the iron plate, then "gilded" with eggs, smeared with sweet bean sauce, put on the fried dough sticks, pickled mustard, and finally sprinkled with fried surimi strips. The operation is completed in two minutes.
This looks like an old craftsman passed down from his family.
The stall was set up for a week, and the business was excellent. At first, merchants came to buy, and then servants from unknown houses came to line up, packing dozens of pieces each time.
~
In the process of setting up the stall, Carrette went through a lot of mental prying with three-ring spells and gradually learned a lot of information.
There is such a piece of information that makes Carrette feel very important.
That is, the countess in this territory has two states. At certain times, she will often visit various business houses and be very friendly, but at other times she will be seen with a sad face in the room, seemingly worried.
appearance.
According to the old routine of Journey to the West, Wei Keng immediately reacted that the countess must have had her identity usurped by something.
Wei Keng: "The nine-tailed demon fox is replaced by Daji, and Sun Wukong is replaced by Gao Cuilian. What about this world?"
~
Caret found Grace,
Grace also quickly gave Wei Keng a message.
Grace: "Your Highness, there is the breath of a five-color dragon here."
Carrette speculated while checking the information: "The five-color dragons, oh, are either chaotic evil or lawful evil. Hehe, the ones that sneak into the human area should be lawful evil. Lawful evil is the green dragon and the blue dragon.
Grace, this is neither a desert nor a jungle, which one do you think it could be?"
Grace: "I predict it might be a green dragon. Green dragons like to use various means to enslave living creatures."
Karit nodded, and then asked with a strange face: "If it is a dragon, then who should be the missing knights in the kingdom?"
Grace: "The green dragon's habit is to be a human slave. Only the red dragon likes to eat human flesh." Wei Keng nodded and added: "The red dragon prompted the villagers to sacrifice girls."
But no matter what kind of dragon it is, this territory is now approved by Master Wei Keng. If you dare to compete with Master Wei for the territory, you will have to be a dog to survive.
But this dragon seems to be female.
~
Carrette looked at the tall and handsome Grace,
He coughed and began to sort out the topic. Such a serious manner made Grace feel something, and he stared at Carret.
Wei Keng: "According to my speculation, the knights of the kingdom are always missing. Could it be a female dragon? Well, I want, um, haha. There are dragon warlocks in every race. So, could it be a male who likes young people?
"
Grace: "Your Highness, please speak directly."
Carrette: "I think a knight with excellent temperament and tall stature should be the pioneer~ As for this crucial candidate, Robin and the others are too young."
Grace: "Your Highness, you want to visit in person. So you want to know about the etiquette of the nobility, right? ~ Your style has always been hidden in the dust, but I believe ~"
Carret was a little confused by the dragon knight's preemptive strike, but after reacting: "Grace, I think you have experience in dealing with dragons, so~"
Grace said solemnly: "Your Highness, after the dragon knight signed a contract with the dragon, he will be loyal."
Karite paused: "I won't let you be taken advantage of. Also, I will discuss your dragon."
Without waiting for Grace to stop him, Karet immediately opened the communication with the Bronze Dragon.
The bronze dragon seems to have just finished taking a shower in the hot metal of the blast furnace. This sauna makes it feel comfortable and shiny. It is resting on a large pile of hardware products in the factory. The metallic membrane wings are spread out like gold foil paper.
on metal products.
After hearing Karet's request, the bronze dragon suddenly became interested. He covered his big mouth with his left paw, which was covered with a big nut he didn't know where he found it from. "Female dragon? Oh, Master Grace wants to
Go and seduce~ Well, there is a five-color dragon in front of you. Oh~ My knight has always been very brave. Your Majesty, please believe in Grace, he can do it. Ouch~" After saying that, he pulled out with his right paw.
The dragon spear of his own knight was waved like a club of cheers.
The Bronze Dragon silently ignored Grace's angry reprimand through the contract.
And added a key piece of information to Carret.
Bronze Dragon: "Your Majesty Karet, you made a mistake in the title. I am a male dragon."
