Chapter 496: Xin Crow Room, The Lost Age5K(1/3)
The so-called Crow House is a stone hut attached to the castle.
Before you even walk in, you can smell the smell of poultry excrement.
It's just that this smell is dozens of times weaker than that in the griffon's nest.
Outside the hut are two rows of iron cages, which are lined with straw.
There are about seventy or eighty messenger crows in the cage.
This is a clever bird that looks similar to a raven.
That is to say, the colors are different. The messenger crow has a tuft of white hair on its beak and neck.
They have a good sense of direction and can withstand long journeys.
The abdomen is plump, firm and full of muscles.
These muscles are the secret to their ability to fly long distances.
When their energy is exhausted and there is no food to replenish it, they will break down their muscles.
In this world they function as homing pigeons.
Every city and even some villages have crow rooms.
But in fact, there are not many times when they can be used in Bangcheng.
In case of emergency, Bangcheng has a more convenient way to send messages.
It can be quickly delivered to giant cities thousands of kilometers away in a very short time.
It would be too slow to rely on the crow.
However, this still does not prevent the existence of letter crows.
The ground around here is barren of grass.
Every few steps there is a lump mixed with a little white bird droppings.
I don’t know if it’s because of the shade or the bird droppings that the grass doesn’t grow here.
Zong Shen quickly walked to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the metal door.
"Clang!"
"Please come in!"
Baron Bezos's voice came from it.
Zong Shen unceremoniously pushed the iron door open.
When he walked into the hut, he saw Baron Bezos writing something at his desk.
There was an old man standing nearby, wearing a gray-brown cloth robe.
There is also a faint smell of bird droppings in the cabin, but it is not obvious.
"Lord Bezos!"
Seeing that the other party was writing intently, Zong Shen took the initiative to say hello.
Only then did Baron Bezos have time to raise his head.
"Brother Zong, you are here!"
He stood up quickly and greeted him warmly.
The old man in a cloth robe said nothing, but stood aside knowingly.
"Lord Bezos, I came here this time for the relics of the Knights of the Lion that you mentioned before."
"I have brought the elite warriors in the territory and a large gryphon. They are waiting outside the city."
Zong Shen said with a smile.
For him, this trip to Bosbon didn't have many plans, it was just to explore the ruins.
"I will immediately notify the Bangcheng Army to bring someone to pick him up."
"Brother Zong, why didn't you come here on a wild boar this time?"
Baron Bezos smiled and patted Zong Shen on the shoulder, pretending to ask casually.
Zong Shen reacted instantly.
There was no change in his expression, and he still maintained his previous smile.
"Mr. Bezos is joking."
"A wild boar is not as fast as a gryphon."
"And adults should know that my place is adjacent to mountains."
"There are not many others. There are quite a few wild boars, prairie wolves and other wild beasts."
"Including the big gryphon that rode here this time, it was also caught from the mountain forest."
Zong Shen said with a smile, and Baron Bezos nodded slightly.
"That's right. Compared with griffins, wild boars are not rare."
"Brother Zong, you have to wait for me for a while."
"The report document at hand is about to be finished."
As he spoke, Baron Bezos sat back in his seat, picked up his quill and dipped it in ink again and started writing.
He explained while writing.
"The governor of Bangcheng needs to write a report every month."
"Report the development of Bangcheng to Jucheng."
"The ancient method of conveying information through messenger crows."
"Of course we also have more advanced methods."
"But it's not available for daily use."
Zong Shen didn't say anything more and nodded silently.
Baron Bezos stopped talking and continued to write furiously.
About ten more minutes passed before he filled up the entire page.
Carefully unfold the paper, dry the ink on it, and then roll it up after ensuring that the writing will not become blurry.
There is a candlestick on the desk with a metal spoon hanging on it, with some red, sticky fire paint glue melted in it.
Baron Bezos rolled up the paper and carefully poured an appropriate amount of fire paint glue on the sealing area. After it cooled slightly, he picked up the metal seal on the side and pressed it on the fire paint, leaving
A mark.
Then he handed the sealed scroll to the old man in gray robe beside him.
The old man bowed slightly after taking the scroll, and then left the hut.
He was silent the whole time.
After finishing the matters at hand, Baron Bezos stood up with peace of mind.
He took the initiative to stand up, hugged Zong Shen and left the Xinya hut.
When they left, they happened to see the old man stuffing the scroll into the mailbox on the messenger's leg.
Throwing both hands, the messenger crow flew away.
Baron Bezos walked to the front of the castle with Zong Shen on his arm.
He waved to a housekeeper and asked her to inform the city army and lead the patrolling light cavalry outside Bosi State to look for the warriors and the great griffon brought by Zong Shen.
Zong Shen was relieved about this and followed Baron Bezos into the castle.
It's just afternoon now, just in time to prepare for a grand reception dinner.
After watching Baron Bezos give out orders one after another in an understatement.
The two of them walked straight up the stairs.
The dinner takes time to prepare, and the soldiers and Eagle Sauce also need time to welcome them.
Taking advantage of this time, Baron Bezos was going to take Zong Shen to the study for a talk.
Discuss the exploration of the ruins of the Knights of the Lion.
Relevant information has long been compiled.
Now all you need to do is take out the corresponding albums and information.
Zong Shen didn't care about this, but on the surface he still had to deal with it.
With the strategy module, what clues and information does he want but cannot get?
Even if the strategy module makes real-time notes in the form of gold label prompts, it is not impossible.
