Evetrona's old stories

Seeing that the plan fell through, Eve went to find Akanlu again—but she ran into a wall again.

"I'm sorry, this is my teacher's arrangement, I dare not disobey him." Akanlu said.

"Then we are rivals again this time?" Eve asked bitterly.

"Yeah, there's no way, this is life..." Akanlu wrapped her arms around her head, shaking her from side to side in her arms.At this time, she smiled happily, without any regret or apology.

Akanlu is good at both civil and military skills, and has both ability and political integrity. He is recognized as a top student among the third graders.Her teacher had high hopes for her, and now that she had such an opportunity, she naturally had to fight for her—compared to Eve, her teacher was more optimistic about Asder, and therefore, a few days ago, Akanlu's name had been approved and included in Asder's recruitment list.When Akanlu heard about the teacher's arrangement for the first time, Dang even burst out laughing. This reaction confused her teacher and wondered why she was so happy—but in fact, she just thought of Eve at that time. When she thought of the reaction this little girl might have when she learned the truth in the future, she couldn't help but start to gloat.

"Actually, it's all the same. If you can't be a teammate, you can meet often if you are an opponent." Akanlu comforted her—in fact, it was not a comfort.

The teacher's order is hard to disobey, and Akanlu did have difficulties. Eve knew this, so he had to let this matter go.

"Then are you interested in being a spy?" Eve joked with her again, "After the matter is completed, half of the castle master will be given to you."

"Hahahaha..." Akanlu laughed and patted the table, "Stop teasing me, if I really do this, I'm afraid someone will tear me apart."

"How do you tear it up, vertically or horizontally?" Eve asked her seriously.

"How to tear it? Torn like this—" Akanlu took advantage of her inattention, hugged her waist, and lifted her from the ground.The two were chattering wildly in the room, laughing non-stop.

Eve couldn't break free, so she simply gave up struggling, but Akanlu didn't intend to let it go, she wrapped her hands around the girl's waist, and spun around in circles like this.Eve was still wearing the college uniform at this time, her blond hair fluttered with the hem of her skirt, like a big doll being held and turned around by Akanlu.

Melina sat aside and watched.Akanlu was spinning vigorously when he suddenly heard the roommate ask, "How many people have you recruited now?"

"Are you going to help her?" Akanlu stopped.

"How can I help?" Melina said, "I just want to tell her that if there is still a shortage of people, you can go to Lafaqin for a try."

"Yes, you can find him." Akanlu's eyes lit up, she let go of her hands, and finally let Eve down.

"I don't know him very well. Where can I find him?" Eve covered her head and sat on the sofa beside her. She was a little dizzy now.

"Just leave it to me to find someone, easy." Melina said, "Just like when you borrowed his notes last year, you come downstairs to pick up the goods tomorrow."

"Get it?" Eve laughed, imitating Melina's words, "Okay, then I'll come over to get the goods tomorrow..."

Lafaqin is indeed a talent. Eve borrowed his notes from Melina last year and met him at the college ball game.Judging from his daily conversations and the content of his notes, he is undoubtedly a knowledgeable, insightful, and thoughtful person. If you can get his support, it will be very helpful.

Later, Melina did not disappoint Eve, and Lafaqin agreed.

[143] Crimson Sky (Part [-])

"Is it clear, do you need me to repeat it again?" Freely asked her.

Eve looked at the simulated combat platform in front of her, then smiled at the other party, "No, thank you."

"Okay, then let's do some practical operations to deepen our impression." Freely nodded to her.He turned his head and said to the laboratory assistant, "Please build model No. 23, one-ninth of the boundary."

The assistant holds the putter and the mold, draws a small use area on the edge of the sand table, and separates the boundary with a wooden frame.He buckled a few molds on the specially made white sand, and after a while, a miniature mountain range with ups and downs was formed, and through the pre-buried coloring patterns under the sand table, deep and shallow textures appeared on the surface of the sand. Appeared, forming blue mountains, gray rocks and blue rivers...

"In the official competition, you will use the method of simulated combat, not like this." He inserted flags and marks in different places in this miniature world. "This looks more like playing chess, but as a training, it is also more efficient."

"What about the simulated combat?" Lafaqin, who was standing beside Eve, asked.

"As the name suggests." Freely explained: "The two sides will be divided into two rooms, and they will not be able to see the situation on the sand table beyond their own observation field of vision. During an operation, you need to explain to your own referee the action plan, action intention, and expected effect step by step. However, the effect on the sand table is determined by the comprehensive evaluation of the five referees of the referee team. In addition, there is a commander-in-chief above your team—our side is planning to let Captain Feng En himself comeo—he has the authority to veto or terminate the action. , but only one game at a time, if the battle plan you make does not satisfy him, he may exercise his rights."

"Sounds very interesting." Lafaqin looked forward to this.

"Simulated combat is a test of a commander's comprehensive combat capabilities, such as: overall or partial troop deployment, short-term and long-term combat planning, information acquisition, screening and processing, on-the-spot response and pressure resistance... This kind of combat even tests the physical strength and endurance of the contestants themselves - long-term competition, a lot of mental work and nervous emotions, all of which will consume a lot of physical energy. Therefore, if you want to win the game, the physical fitness of the contestants themselves must be passable." Fleury said, "Of course, for your kind Beginners, you don’t need to think so much, the most important thing now is to learn to use the rules proficiently and practice as much as possible.”

The non-simulated combat-style duel training is actually a kind of war-like board game-different arms have different movement speeds, and the effect can be realized through counters and field grids; Instructions to dispatch troops, and the battlefield is limited to a small area; there will be a weather map that changes with the time axis, but there is no season and climate; Annihilation.

Eve and Lafaqin cooperated and conducted several rounds of preliminary attempts with Freely. Although Freely only used a small amount of military resources, they still could not win in any duel. I can't even do it.

"Don't worry, you must first be familiar with the rules and try boldly, and you are a team, exchanging ideas and division of labor are also very important." Freely said to them.

This situation lasted until round No.14 before turning around. They finally succeeded in occupying the two strongholds of the Freeli side and won their first victory. At this time, they had practiced for more than three hours.

"The two of you have made rapid progress." Freely commented, "But I don't know if you have noticed something—I have been using a single and single-line combat method just now. But the real battlefield is always complex and changeable. You can't let your opponent guess your true intentions, and you can't let your opponent discover your backhand... You must not only pay attention to the changes on the battlefield, but also use the psychology of the players themselves to deceive them. People's ability to process information is always limited. Sometimes it is necessary to use experience and intuition to do things well. On the basis of experience-a lot of training, careful observation, and conclusions after the resumption, these are very important. Everyone has their own personality and methods, which cannot be taught. It depends on your personal talent and understanding. They must always have an advantage, they are good at using experience to generate countermeasures, and you can also use the inertial thinking of your opponents to make them fall into a situation where they are finally useless—this is the advantage of your young people.”

Eve and Lafaqin nodded repeatedly as they listened to Fulili's analysis.Freeli chose to say this to the two of them after they first tasted the fruits of victory, in order to strengthen their confidence—because among the three competitors, Eve was the last to be exposed to simulated combat, and now she only has one In a month's time, if you want to catch up with the other two, you must have more intensive training, but considering that these two are students of the academy, excluding their class time, the time will be even tighter.

Lotilan had considered suspending Eve's classes for a period of time and only focused on this competition, but Eve himself objected, so Lotilan no longer insisted.

After the lecture, the practice continued, and Freeley increased the difficulty, so that they did not win again until the noon meal.

At noon, they ate in the small restaurant in the laboratory. They ate macaroni with tomato sauce and fried fish steaks—high in calories, balanced in nutrition and not greasy.

In the afternoon, we practiced as usual, and at two o'clock, Tet Rog came and brought a person - Batina.

"You're finally here, so I can go back first." Freeley said to Tetrogg.

At this point, their round of battle was only halfway through, but Fulili obviously didn't intend to continue.

He pointed to somewhere on the sand table, "The defeat is already settled, isn't it?"

Only then did Eve and Lafaqin see that they still had no chance of winning in this round of competition, so they had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Then I'll go first." Freely put on his striped coat and strode out of the laboratory.

After he left, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward.This is the first time Eve and Batina have met since that conflict.

"You should all know each other, so I don't need to introduce you." Taitrog said with a smile, "Batina told me before that she wanted to fight you again."

"I didn't say that." Batina stood beside her cousin, frowning.Her figure was still burly, and the cyan beard print on her upper lip seemed to have increased a bit.

"Hello." Eve smiled at her—the smile was very gentle, as if there had never been any festival between the two of them.

"I was reckless in the previous incident. At that time, Xilinya told me that you had been bullying her because you had some connections in the academy. You also said that you ordered that Xuemo person to steal her things. I only found out later..."

"Forget about the past, it's not a big deal, it's all over." Eve interrupted her.

"You're right." Batina looked at her, then smiled and stretched out a hand, "Are we reconciled?"

Eve stared at that hand, hesitated for a few seconds before shaking hands with her - sure enough, she felt a strong force coming from her hand, so she gritted her teeth and began to exert force on her hand.

"Okay, okay, okay." Tetrogg laughed and separated the two.

Eve rubbed her hand—her hand was red, swollen, numb and painful, but the other party didn't get any benefit. Batina put her hands behind her back, looked at Eve and said, "It's really not an illusion, your strength is really not small..."

"Each." Eve's tone was rather resentful—if it wasn't for the fact that the opponent's hands were much larger than hers, which gave her an advantage, she dared to say that she would be able to pinch until the opponent repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Young people are good at this." Tet Rog said, "I also miss when I was in the training center, there was no conflict of interest between classmates, and if there was dissatisfaction, it would be reconciled after the dispute."

"That's true, you're right." Eve agreed.

Later, Eve introduced Lafaqin's identity to the two of them.Hearing that Lafaqin was the supporter she recruited, Tetrog asked her casually, "How many people have you recruited now?"

"He's the only one now." Eve was a little embarrassed when talking about this.

"What do you think of Batina?" Tetrog asked.

"I'm not sure..." Eve scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Of course I know, you still can't figure out her details." Tetrog waved his hand, not caring about Eve's attitude.But Batina, who was standing aside, looked up at the skylight above her head, her dissatisfaction and disdain written all over her face.Tet Rog continued: "Try it and you'll know. I came here today for this purpose. Fleury went back to work. You are short of an opponent now, so I brought Batina to practice with you."

"Thank you so much, Batina too." Although Eve was suspicious in her heart, she didn't question it on the spot just to be on the safe side.

"Don't pretend, you won't believe it." Batina walked to the edge of the combat platform, "Come on, try it first, and see how long the two of you can hold on to me."

Eve didn't care about her provocation, she and Lafaqin walked in front of Batina, ready to start a new round of battle.

"What model did you use just now? Or which one are you good at?" Batina asked them.

Eve first exchanged glances with Lafaqin, and then replied: "No. 12, four-ninths boundary."

"Okay, then let's use it." After Batina finished speaking, she took out the mold and push rod from the item box. She used these tools very skillfully. After a while, a standard wetland landform was formed after the pattern was covered.The laboratory assistant has been standing by and watching, and he seems to have been used to Batina's behavior for a long time.

"The troops are divided into three or seven. I mainly use cavalry and archers." Batina distributed more than a dozen small flags to Eve and Lafaqin.

The wetland terrain will have a certain impact on the combat style of the cavalry, and now that the strength of one's own troops is more than double that of the opponent, Eve is starting to worry about the opponent—whether Batina's real strength can match her current strength? Confidently commensurate?

But immediately, Eve realized that her worry was unnecessary. Not only did Batina win, but it only took a short time.

"Try again." Seeing the other party's triumphant look, Eve was a little unconvinced.

Batina is good at using multi-line combat and cross-covering between arms, and she is also very good at using terrain characteristics. Sometimes she even dares to fight her opponent head-on with fewer troops.Batina's familiarity and strength in these few matches made Eve and Lafaqin feel a lot of pressure. Her chess style is more oppressive than that of Fulili.

After a few rounds, Eve realized that she and Lafaqin could not defeat Batina no matter what.

"I have been in sandbox combat since I was six or seven years old." Batina said with a smile, "It's normal that you can't beat me."

"I used to think you were an idiot, but I didn't expect you to be good at this." Since the two sides were always ridiculing during the battle just now, Eve quickly got acquainted with Batina, and they didn't have to pretend to be polite when they spoke.

"That's because you have little knowledge, my father and his father—" Batina pointed to Tetrog who was sitting by the wall, "They are all serious knights, with profound knowledge and first-class swordsmanship, like him The reckless is the outlier in the family."

"Okay, let me say a few words. I am not willing to use my brain, but I am not a fool." Tetrog stood up and walked to them. He asked Eve, "What do you think of my cousin? Is she a talent? Do you want her to join?"

So Batina became the second supporter she recruited.

"Find a time, we must compete again." That evening, when the parting was approaching, Batina's words scared Eve enough.

During this time, someone seemed to have heard some rumors that Eve was recruiting people everywhere, so there were countless people who came to join her, some of whom knew her and some of them didn't.Eve didn't want to accept anyone—if she chose from these people, she might as well ask for someone from Lotilan—so she politely refused, claiming that her side was already full.

But after that, another person approached the door. It was an acquaintance of Eve's—Longke Liejin.

Eve was struggling inside, and it seemed difficult to make a decision.

"You can join if you want, but there are conditions." Eve decided to tell him clearly.

"What conditions?"

"Don't dig holes for me in the future."

After hearing Eve's words, Long Ke's face flashed a trace of surprise and fear.

"When did I ever entrap you." He turned to smile.

"Of course you are not targeting me, not even Dicken." Eve's voice was very low, as if she was afraid that outsiders would hear, "You are going to trap Vincent Biquito, and you are just trying to trap us by the way."

"Why should I cheat him?" Long Ke asked back.

"I don't want to argue with you about this, but if you really want to join and come to help me, then you have to be honest." Eve patted him on the shoulder and smiled a little weirdly, "Then let me ask you another way, How did the rope break?"

Long Ke shuddered.

"Well—I confess, it's a potion..." he whispered.

[144] Crimson Sky (Part [-])

At that time, Long Ke accidentally learned from the conversation among the instructors that they planned to organize the students to carry out a one-day weeding work on the city wall.When he heard them say that he needed to prepare ropes and pulleys, Longke had some preliminary ideas.

He has been interested in alchemy since he was a child, and has read many books on alchemy.

Donglu Danfeng has an animal named "Poisonous Rat", which looks like an armadillo, but is much smaller.This animal usually lives on lush plains and can eat beetles and ants, as well as the branches and roots of some shrubs.When poison rats eat insects, they usually choose beetles and ants that can digest lignin.It preys on these insects, grinds them up and stores them in a separate stomach pouch in the body. The acidic substances and enzymes containing a large number of elements are preserved and precipitated when eating plant branches to help itself digest wood and fiber.

When threatened, poisonous rats will spit out a strong acid mixture at the target. This substance is not only a good catalyst for alchemy, but as early as more than a dozen centuries ago, local farmers have learned to use this digestive juice for reclamation.Plants contaminated with the solution will become dry, hard and fragile, and within a few days, they will be easily broken by the wind and lose their vitality.

To this day, farmers in some areas still use this simple and effective weeding method, but this is only limited to the central part of Qiyangzhou. In Yudi, few people have even heard of the name of the animal called poisonous rat.

Longke checked the material of the rope and confirmed the feasibility of the plan.He didn't intend to do it alone, or in other words, it wasn't his purpose to create an accident.

He found Fan Bijiu and told him that he had a plan that could make Dee even more deflated.

"Let him fall into the river, and then, what's the point?" Vinbiquito didn't quite understand his logic.

"He and Eve will definitely be in the same group. I know Di Geng, he is most afraid of losing face in front of Eve, and embarrassing him in public like this will embarrass him the most." Long Ke explained to him, "Let's make a long-term plan - as long as similar things happen more, his situation will become more and more embarrassing, and it will be a matter of time before he leaves."

"Among them... Is it really like what you said? I seem to have heard from others that there is something inside."

"It's not important, what's important is that Eve is too close to him, whether it's in the name of a friend or in any other capacity, it's not a good thing." Long Ke said, sighed again, "I know, you have never I have never done this kind of thing before, in fact, I am the same, I was hesitant to do it before, so I came to you to discuss it."

"Are you serious? What if this matter is found out on us?" Fan Bijiu asked him.

"What can they do? This is just a prank, and no one will be hurt." Long Ke said, "Don't worry, I have this confidence——no matter who reads it, they will only think it was an accident. Besides, how could they find us? In the eyes of outsiders, we have no motive for committing the crime."

Fan Bijiu is still hesitating about this.

"I need a helper for this matter, and I can't do it alone—after all, I have to participate in the event that day. From this point of view, the decision is still yours." Long Ke continued to encourage, "I don't really care, but I still want to remind you that if you don't try to fight for some things, there will never be a turning point."

Seeing that he was unable to make a decision, Long Ke smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and was about to go back.

"Wait, I'll think about it again." Fan Bijiu called him, and the boy looked a little anxious.

"If something goes wrong, if you are found out, just confess me and say that I am the mastermind." Seeing this, Longke pushed him one last time, "I have prepared the potion, and I will talk to the instructors when the time comes." Said—that day you and a few others will come over to help."

Long Ke marked the bundle of ropes that had been tampered with, and this mark could only be recognized by them.He knew that one section of the rope needs to be tied to the user's waist, and the other end is fixed on a pulley. When the handle is operated for retraction, the rope will pass through a set of pulleys.The potion is highly diluted. Longke soaked the rope for several hours to ensure its effectiveness. After flushing and drying the rope, there was no abnormality—the rope was still strong.

"What's the matter, it doesn't work?" Fan Bijiu picked up the rope and pulled it hard, but there was no damage to the rope.

"This rope is still very strong, but it becomes weaker where you can't notice it." Longke took a rope that was used to test the effect earlier and folded it in half. Fan Bijiu found that the rope gradually became rough during the bending process-the fibers in the strands had begun to break.Longke said proudly, "When passing the pulley, it will become like this."

Fan Bijiu was very surprised by his showing. At the same time, when he saw the actual effect of the potion, he finally felt relieved, not as anxious as when he was watching the wind outside.
