Chapter 709: The Machine Side (4)
What a fart!
After listening to Lin Yang's words, Jacob, who was forcibly "insured" by Lin Yang, wilted like a frosted eggplant, but the two extraordinary mercenaries were also dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and their hearts were bitter.
Jacob is right, they really don't care about the money they "stained with blood", they really want the portable steam magic cannon.
The reason why the "Blood Stained Crown" stopped financial support for Jacob is, on the one hand, because Jacob's research has entered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to break through in a short period of time, and continuing to force research will only be a waste of money, and although the prototype of the new magic cannon manufactured is only a semi-finished product, there is still a short distance from the design goal, but it is barely enough, at least from the original fortress cannon to a field cannon that can be pulled by horses and mobile at high speed, which can come in handy.
On the other hand, they also found out that Jacob had been playing tricks with them, intercepting the key technology of the new magic cannon, not to mention, and even often embezzling funds for private work, which could be endured, and Jacob also realized that the downstairs was exposed, so he simply rolled up everything and fled......
Therefore, although Jacob looks pitiful, he is actually far from being as innocent as he appears, the white-bearded little old man is quite thoughtful, and Lin Yang does not have any psychological burden when he is banned.
With a box of gold coins and three "Ten Great Tonic Pills for Instant Healing of All Wounds", the two mercenaries were sent out like this, maybe they were unwilling, but the form was stronger than people, and in the face of Lin Yang's huge pressure, what could they do?
Go back and find someone to get revenge...... Don't dare to borrow their guts, this is the legendary Prince of the East, the Prince of the East who killed the Demon Grand Duke, and has a close relationship with the Sanguang Council, seeking revenge against him, tired of living?
Lin Yang has already asked through Christina, although the strength of this "Bloodstained Crown" mercenary group is not weak, but the reputation has never been good, as war hounds, they chase wars everywhere and profit from them, not to mention, they often have things like killing good people and taking risks, and they have not done much to rob homes and houses, so it can be said that they have a bad reputation, so they are also happy to pit Lin Yang.
"Jacob is going to be with us from now on, I wonder what your plans are, Miss Jindy?"
Ignoring Jacob, whose facial features were wrinkled together and looked like a bitter melon, Lin Yang's gaze turned to Jindi, there was not even an employment relationship between her and Jacob, but she had a very strong sense of responsibility, and she had been protecting Jacob until now, which can be described as dutiful.
"My home has been destroyed by the people of the 'Blood Crown'."
Jindi said with a distressed expression: "Now I am also considered homeless, and because I introduced the people of the 'Bloodstained Crown' into the village, I guess the people of the village will not welcome me anymore." ”
"It's all the bastard's doing!"
Mo said lightly and glared at Jacob, who was shrinking his head and feet not far away, trying his best to reduce his presence, but she still had a good impression of this guy at first.
Then she said to Jindi again: "You can stay, you can also help us supervise this bastard, he still owes your bodyguard's salary, can't be cheap." ”
Although Jindi looks like a little girl, she is actually in her thirties, and she is at the peak of a warrior's experience, physical fitness and combat intuition, and after the age of forty, if you are not a legend and are not a special longevity race, you will go downhill, the halfling life span of the Thanris continent is longer than that of humans, but the interesting thing is that the male puberty is very short, and at the age of thirty or forty, he looks like a little old man who is not old and decrepit, while the female puberty is very long, forty or fifty years old does not look old, Just like Jindi at this moment.
So after a little thought, Jindi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay." ”
After a pause, she added, "I'll restrain Jacob and keep him from messing around." ”
Obviously, she was still a little worried about Jacob staying in Lin Yang's group, Jacob's virtue she knew, it was a guy who gave a little sunshine, and in order to prevent him from doing anything irreparable, she still decided to stay and supervise this guy well.
Compared to Jacob, the lower limit of this Jindi Spark is obviously much higher, at least quite righteous, which is also the common feature of the halfling race, but the small body contains noble sentiments and courage, compared to Jacob is the real outlier.
"Boss, since I will be your employee from today onwards, can we discuss this issue of treatment first?"
No, after the initial fear and tension, Jacob quickly recovered his nature, this guy's adaptability is absolutely extremely strong, and he belongs to the kind that can live well even if he is thrown into the endless abyss, the prohibition imposed by Lin Yang on his body seems to have been forgotten by him at once, and he stood in front of Lin Yang with a shy face and tried to bargain.
Such a lazy person is definitely something that Lin Yang and the girls around him have never seen before, but with his image of a white-bearded little old man like a big-headed doll, it is so pleasing that people can't feel bad, and they can't help but laugh a few times at the moment.
This Jacob is definitely an old fritter, and when he saw this reaction, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hit the snake and said: "Boss, my requirements are not high, except for the research funds, the daily salary ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a small hand suddenly reached out from one side, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, and his words were held back into his throat.
It was none other than Jindi, who strangled Jacob's neck and said to Lin Yang and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive him for his nonsense, in fact, he is not like this usually." ”
Jacob wanted to say something, but was glared at by Jindi, so he had to shut up, he had to rely on Jindi's protection to survive these days, and he still gave Jindi a lot of face.
A moment later, at Lin Yang's request, Jacob finally assembled the pile of mechanical components, the parts were a large pile, but after putting them together, they were not very large, of course, it was still not something that one or a few ordinary people could easily move.
"Did he really do it?"
It was Christina who spoke, and she ran to the magic cannon with a surprised face, and said, "Judging from the appearance, it is really a magic cannon, and the volume has been reduced by at least two-thirds......"
"Well, is this my Jacob's technique after all?"
The white-bearded little old man became proud again, and said: "Although the volume has shrunk, the power has not become smaller at all, but unfortunately there is still a gap from the ideal form, my goal is to develop a magic cannon that can be used and moved by a single person, and the 'single' referred to here is not a strong person like you, but refers to ordinary people." ”
