Chapter 6 The Hooded Man
The new birth of the morning sun is a new day.
Link woke up in the early morning with a full energy.
‘It feels really different to sleep on the bed’.
In a good mood, he hummed an unknown tune and walked into the bathroom in the single dormitory.
What caught my eye was a mouthwashing pool made of white stone, with toiletries placed in a narrow position on it.
The height of the mouthwash pool is a bit low, so Link has to bend over to avoid splashing.
Looking up, the most attractive thing is a palm-sized mirror. Not only does it look like a "mini", but it is also a little dim inside the mirror, which seems to have a lot of impurities inside.
Seeing the mirror, Link couldn't help but regret why he couldn't remember its production process. Otherwise, making a mirror that was ahead of this era would definitely be a great asset.
‘It’s not like selling yourself to the old manager like now.’
After washing up quickly, I used a razor to rest the hair on my face.
Looking at myself in the square mirror, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, tall nose, and combed slightly long hair back. His whole temperament instantly changed from a bandit to a handsome handsome man, and he was like taking the rebirth of Takeshi Kaneshiro.
He turned around and left with satisfaction, went out and kicked open the two of his men's dormitories, and woke them up.
It was already late when we arrived on the street. After breakfast, the group first came to Link Xinnian's weapon shop.
Ignoring the weapon style recommended by the clerk, Link picked up a scimitar, held the handle with his right hand, and rubbed the blade with his left fingers, and then flicked the blade twice.
In fact, Link's favorite weapon is still the scimitar. In his past pirate career, his personal experience told himself that when fighting on a ship, the scimitar has the highest killing efficiency.
Price: 20 Silver Snake Coins.
‘Hiss, although the weapons are good, I am not a good man.’
After looking around, the subordinates did not find any suitable weapons. The heavy weapons were either too expensive or too fancy. Link even saw a supra that looked like the "Guan Gong Sword".
I was a little regretful, and when I was about to leave, my eyes swept across the wall.
"Is this... a crossbow?"
Link pointed at the long strip of weapons beside the wall.
Crossbows are prohibited from selling weapons in various countries, and are prohibited from private use except for official countries.
For ordinary archers, if they pull the bow ten times for a full moon, they will be exhausted at most twenty times. The crossbow is fired by a crossbow machine. Human power only needs to repeat the simple action of winding the string, and even crossbows that step on the string, which has a great ability to continue fighting.
Cultivating an archer takes a long time, boring practice, and the level of cultivation is different, while crossbowmen only need to learn to aim.
The most terrifying thing is that the origin of the crossbow, the Cuba Empire of the Old Continent, once developed a steel crossbow. The crossbow bodies are all made of steel structures with amazing torque. Within ten steps, special arrows can penetrate standard thickness plate armor.
This caused panic among all countries. As the representative of the highest combat power of various countries, the martial arts skills and huge equipment that the knights in the Knights have been tempered over the years and spent huge amounts of money can be killed by an ordinary person with a steel crossbow.
So the knights of various countries united to resist the use of crossbows, and finally did not make it rampant, and preserved the noble status of the knights.
"This is an ordinary wooden crossbow, and the bowstrings are not on, so they do not have the ability to kill and are for viewing only."
Because the crossbows need to withstand huge torque, they generally need to be made of solid materials. Ordinary wooden crossbows may fail if they are used a few times.
Although the clerk said that he did not have the ability to kill, his show-off tone could be easily heard.
‘We can make wooden structures in our store, but it won’t be much more complicated if it is replaced with iron.’
This crossbow is hanging in this way to highlight the store's strength and background. If you dare to put crossbows in the store in the downtown area, can this store have no background?
After wandering around the city, there was no valuable gain except for meeting some fans who recognized them.
"We took action separately. Tony and Jon went to the port to investigate, others went to the city defense to check in, and gathered in the dormitory at the dormitory for dinner."
After sending off everyone under his command, Link observed the nearby buildings in the inner city. Most of the buildings were crowded, with different heights and different newness, which made people feel a little depressed when they saw it.
This makes a steep white stone building in the center of the city abrupt. It is not only a large part of the surrounding buildings, but also clean and tidy, occupying a single area.
Link traveled through time, inherited the host's memory, and could communicate fluently with peers, but unfortunately, the host is illiterate.
Although I don't know the above words, my intuition tells him that this should be a church.
When you enter this white spire building, you will see the long tables and chairs neatly arranged in the hall. When you pass by these tables and chairs, you will find rows of bookshelves on both sides of the hall. The bookshelf is three or four meters high. From time to time, people climb up and down to find books by using step brackets.
‘It turned out to be a library.’
Link never expected that in such an excellent location in the center of the city, every inch of land was valuable, and it was really a luxury to build a library here.
Without the illiterate consciousness at all, Link walked towards the bookshelf.
Passing through the gaps between the long tables and chairs in the hall, it almost attracted the attention of these readers. In the huge hall, only the sound of "Sasha" turning the pages was heard.
Bookshelf close to the hall tables and chairs seem to be searched for more frequently. The deeper the hall, the fewer people are looking for borrowing.
Link had no intention of actually borrowing books to read, after all, he couldn't understand them, but many books had illustrations, so he was quite interested in reading pictures and guessing books.
As I watched, I walked in, and there were fewer and fewer figures around me.
Link was reading a big book as a comic strip.
"This book records the religious history of the Cubas Empire."
A voice suddenly came from my ears.
Looking back, a man wearing a hood and looking like a monk was talking to Link.
Link was shocked. Is this person walking silently? He must be too fascinated by his own eyes.
Close the book quickly. The illustrations of religious history are too naked, otherwise they would not be so attractive.
The cover of the book is a golden shield pattern, and this Link is still clear, the national emblem of the Cuban Empire.
"Is there something wrong?"
Link asked the hooded man, who thought the other party was an employee of the library.
Wearing a robe and a hood, the light in the depths of the library was not very good, and only half of his face was leaking out.
"After the Battle of Demon Breaking Demons, the gods of the old and new continents disappeared. Do you want to know what happened?"
"I don't want to know, I don't want to be interested."
Link, a materialist atheist of two generations, was not interested in these things, and chose this book because it was so tempting to choose the illustrations of that religious book.
This hooded male god is a little familiar with it, and Link has already recognized him as a preacher who promotes doctrine in his heart.
