through the dark road

Chapter 146 Curiosity

Walking through the alley and walking two blocks, the weapons and armor placed on the street were suddenly replaced by various living utensils. Although Mo Bei found it on purpose, he felt that the change was a bit abrupt.

A young man who was buried in the equipment and walked over here unconsciously picked up a flat object and asked in surprise, "What kind of shield is this!?"

The stall owner seemed to have seen a lot of people who didn't react. He was still weaving a rattan basket and said with a smile without raising his head:

"This kind of shield is called a dustpan."

This block is more lively than the one selling repair equipment. Even in the evening, there are still trucks transporting various materials and finished products.

Mo Bei saw that those trucks carrying fragile items such as crock pots had to be covered with a thick layer of dry palm leaves to prevent them from hitting each other or being directly shattered.Even so, the coachman drove the car carefully.

After walking for a while, he finally saw some shafts or wheels placed outside several workshops connected together by awnings.

"Excuse me, is your person in charge here?" Mo Bei asked several craftsmen who were packing up tools and materials. It seemed that they were about to call it a day.

"Hello, my name is Aguirre, what can I do for you?" A lean middle-aged man patted the sawdust on his body and came out to greet him.

"Oh, there's something to take up your time, take a look at this thing."

Mo Bei took out two lengths of springs that Farah helped to roll, stood them on a table, picked up a small piece of wood from the ground and pressed them on it.

The middle-aged man named Aguirre looked at Mo Bei's actions suspiciously, until the wooden board was slowly pressed down and slowly rebounded, his expression became thoughtful.

"What do you think if a few of these things are added between the axle and the body?" Mo Bei guided again.

"Hiss..." Aguirre frowned, took a breath, stretched out his hand to press the board, and picked up a spring to look at it, only to find that it was just an ordinary metal.

"Good stuff!"

After all, he is a professional craftsman, so he immediately understood.

"This is called spring, and I hope to promote it."

Mo Bei had this idea. Apart from the uncomfortable ride in the car before, it was mainly because when he was accompanying the caravan, he saw that the drivers often had to repair and strengthen those big cars.

The constant shaking and trembling, which can be very damaging to a fully loaded carriage, can be disastrous for some loads.

If you add shock absorption to the vehicle, the balance and stability will definitely be significantly improved.

If this simple thing is popularized, it may really be able to help human beings.

"It's definitely possible! I'll go to the blacksmith's shop to order some springs like this!" Aguirre, who was about to close the shop, was immediately full of energy.

"There is also a support in the middle, which can increase stability. If the spring breaks, it can also play a supporting role and reduce the probability of overturning. Therefore, the material of this spring also has certain requirements."

Mo Bei took out a pen and paper again, drew a rough drawing, and explained the concept of metal fatigue to the other party.

"What do you... need?" Aguirre asked Mo Bei what conditions he wanted to offer. As a craftsman, he knew the value of technology.

Mo Bei laughed and said:
"As I said just now, I hope this device can be promoted."

Aguirre was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, isn't it to promote it to obtain greater benefits?
"Then I'll trouble you, I'll come back in two days and see you later." Mo Bei left behind the two springs, the blueprint and the dazed Aguirre, and left with a wave.

That's all he can do, and how to achieve it depends on these professional craftsmen, and now he wants to go to the open space where job changers exchange equipment.

As he walked, he was still thinking about the gems in his mind.

Complete gems are too scarce. Almost all the job changer teams of their level have a small bag of broken or cracked gems, but the number of complete gems can only be counted by hand.

The long-distance teleportation array between Lugoin and the Rogge camp requires the use of complete gems, and only one person can be teleported at a time.

Just like charging equipment, low-quality gems cannot release enough energy to fully activate the magic circle at one time.

The currently developed aggregation circle is not very stable, and if one is not careful, the equipment will be damaged, or people will be teleported away.

So if it wasn't an emergency, even Kane would choose to go to Lugaoin with the caravan.

It would be great if there was a Horadric Cube, not to mention complete gems, even perfect gems can be produced.At that time, it is not possible to send it however you want.

Mo Bei felt that the next step was to find this real artifact.

The night gradually covered the street with his footsteps, and the patrolling guards had already lit braziers on both sides of the street. Although it wasn't as hot as last night's celebration, it was still enough to illuminate the entire street.

Mo Bei looked around unconsciously, and suddenly saw a signboard.

"The kiss of the hot wind? This...isn't this the tavern of Mrs. Valeria that Zach and the others were talking about?" Driven by curiosity, Mo Bei slowed down unconsciously and looked inside.

The tavern looks quite deserted, but the furnishings are quite thoughtful and unique, but there is no feeling of feasting and luxury.

This time period should be the busiest time for the tavern. Why does it look like there are no customers?

He suddenly saw a familiar figure, the gauze skirt on his body, and the moving curves left a deep impression on him, it was the girl who was riding with him when he came.

The other party seemed to have noticed something, and met Mo Bei's eyes, and after a moment of surprise, he waved to Mo Bei.

The girl took off her shawl at this time, revealing a rather attractive face, and the neckline of the veil skirt was very large, exposing her shoulders and a large area of ​​skin.

No wonder it has to be wrapped in a gauze outside. If you walk outside like this, it will be too eye-catching.

"It's you?" Mo Bei asked tentatively.

"My name is Suzana, welcome." The girl smiled politely at Mo Bei.

"Huh?" Mo Bei just noticed that he was standing at the door of the tavern at some point.

This is a bit embarrassing, do you want to tell the other party that you just want to say hello?
"What would you like to drink?" Seeing Mo Bei standing still, Suzana asked again.

"Water... Thank you..." Mo Beixin said that he just went in to sit, so he went in and found a table and sat down.But in view of the fact that I can't control my feet, I still stopped drinking.

Suzana quickly brought a glass of water, then stood beside Mo Bei with a smile, holding the tray in both hands.

Holding the water glass, Mo Bei felt sweaty palms, so he could only look around, look at the layout of the bar, and wonder why he came to such a place by accident. .

After a long silence, Suzana asked:
"Are you a paladin?"

"Well, how do you know?"

"Many paladins were as nervous as you when they first came here."

"Yes...is it..." Mo Bei tried to make his sitting posture not look so stiff, and asked back:

"How long have you been working here?"

"It's been a while." Suzana continued to smile.

"Yeah... first job?"

"No, I used to work as a sweeping servant in a merchant's house."

Mo Bei said "Oh", and heard Suzana say again:
"Once the owner of that family brought back a very beautiful statuette from Kurast. Several other servants took it up to enjoy while the owner was away, but accidentally broke it when passing it on. Although I just watched it from the sidelines He didn't touch the statue, but he was deducted half a year's salary."

"It's too wronged, but the situation is really unclear. They must have hoped for one more person to share the share..." Mo Bei felt sympathetic for the other party's experience. Could it be that she came here to work because of this incident? of?
"I want to say... Sometimes even if you don't touch it, you still have to pay."

"..."

"Here, you don't have to look so tired like in the car." Suzana showed a playful smile.

Mo Bei was embarrassed for a while. It turned out that the other party had been aware of it all along.

Who told that car to be so bumpy. . .

"Why is it so deserted here? Is it because the time hasn't come yet?" He tried to change the subject.

"No, it's just that many girls haven't come recently, and the number of customers has gradually decreased." The corners of Suzana's mouth curved slightly.

"why?"

"Because most of the residents who disappeared some time ago are people like us. They are very scared and have been hiding at home."

"Missing?" Mo Bei's heart trembled, and he connected this information with some pictures in his mind.
