Sunny California.
The town was bustling with people, m ore crowded and noisy than usual.
Rowan pushed his way through the jostling crowd.
The noise he heard was mostly in Spanish, with a few words of English spoken with an accent.
In the 19th century, California was still a Mexican territory.
In 1542, Portuguese explorer Rodriguez discovered California.
After more than two hundred years, in 1768 King Charles III of Spain ordered the colonization of California.
To date, Spain has colonized this land for nearly a hundred years.
Even when Don Rafael Montero, the last Spanish governor, returned to Spain more than 20 years ago, Spanish became the mainstream language and was deeply embedded in the blood.
Material intrusion is easy to prevent.
The invasion of spirit and civilization is invisible and colorless, and once infected, the poison will last for a long time.
This is probably also the meaning of Zorro's 'Z' wanted poster.
More than 20 years after his disappearance, the legend of Zorro can still be heard, but no one knows where the legendary black hero is.
"Where are you, my teacher, my father-in-law?"
Rowan wanted to find Zorro.
Only after finding it can the main storyline be advanced.
Only by finding him can this little horse thief transform into the new Zorro.
Only if you find him can you marry old Zorro's beautiful daughter.
The last one is the most important.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted the body of old Zorro's daughter.
He is a man of low spiritual level, there is nothing he can do about it.
He is interested in the real Catherine Zeta-Jones, but the Catherine Zeta-Jones in the copy is better.
Although the characters in the copy are only 70% similar to the real actors, they are not exactly the same.
But compared to real actresses, the female characters played by actors are more attractive!
The heroine in the movie won't have the dark history of a female star...
Unfortunately, Rowan has not found any trace of old Zorro yet.
Rowan had read the script and knew that old Zorro was hiding in a prison somewhere.
Old Zorro is waiting for news from Don Rafael Montero, the last Governor of Spain and the enemy who killed his wife and stole his daughter.
More than 20 years ago, before Don Rafael Montero returned to Spain, he wanted to capture his old rival Zorro.
He used a clever trick to discover the true identity of old Zorro.
In the melee, Zorro's wife was killed, his infant daughter was abducted, and Zorro was thrown into prison.
Hatred burned old Zorro's heart and lungs.
Old Zorro was convinced that Don Rafael Montero would come back.
As long as he comes back, he will definitely come to see his old rival, so he is waiting in prison.
Just as old Zorro had thought, Don Rafael Montero was indeed back, back in California with his own schemes.
Don Rafael Montero did indeed come to the prison to find his old enemy as soon as possible.
A ridiculous thing happened. More than twenty years have passed, and Don Rafael Montero has forgotten old Zorro's face.
What Don Rafael Montero did not expect was that more than 20 years later, the prisoners still remembered Zorro and shouted, "I am Zorro."
Don Rafael Montero leaves prison in disgrace.
Knowing that his enemy had returned, old Zorro no longer stayed in prison. He began to recover his strength and look for opportunities for revenge.
What Rowan wasn't sure about was whether old Zorro was in prison now.
"Let fate guide us...at worst I will do a second playthrough."
Rowan tugged at his collar, causing the sterling silver pendant hanging around his neck to sway.
He didn't like the bad smell. Like the smell of a fermented garbage can on a 40 degree day in summer.
Rowan felt very uncomfortable as his nose felt like it was being pricked by many small needles.
He is not a mysophobe, but most modern people who love cleanliness cannot accept the taste of the 19th century.
Fortunately, the dream dungeon copy is blurred, which will not affect his worldview due to the long experience in the copy, and also makes killing and smelling less unbearable.
Rowan thought, "This is also the charm of virtual games," and went into a pub to wait.
In the plot, he has to get drunk.
Because his brother had just been killed and he was left all alone.
He numbed himself with alcohol, but aIso strengthened his courage to take revenge on Captain Harrison who killed his broth ler.
Rowan had no intention of drinking.
He wasn't interested in smoking or drinking, and didn't want to make an exception just for 'playing games'.
This is also an opportunity to test how the dream copy will unfold if you do not follow the script during the process, and see how high the degree of freedom of the game is.
Rowan waited.
After a long time, a wooden crutch stretched out from behind Leonhard and hooked the pendant chain around his neck.
As soon as he touched the chain, Rowan turned his head sharply and grabbed the wooden crutch with his big hands.
A huge force was transmitted along the wooden crutch. Rowan's arms were shaking and he froze. Looking up, he saw an old man with gray hair and a Bohemian cloak.
This old man...I didn't even notice how he appeared behind me!
As Rowan was surprised, old Zoro, Don Diego De La Vega stared at him "Where did you get this pendant?"
Rowan instantly understood the old man's identity.
The pendant was given to Zorro as a child, for helping Zorro during Don Rafael Montero's capture of Zorro.
The reason he asked this question, considering the time and place, the old man couId only be Zorro.
The replica Zorro was abnormally strong, but Rowen didn't care.
In the movie, old Zorro had been in prison for more than 20 years and was severely malnourished. When he found out that his enemy decided to escape from prison, he easily broke the strong man's neck with one arm and one hand.
Twisting the neck can easily injure the cervical vertebrae, but if you want to break the neck to the point of death and causing atlanto-occipital dislocation, it requires a lot of strength.
Use both hands to exert force, with speed, strength and accuracy. As the cervical vertebrae have a short force arm, you only need about the strength needed to break a watermelon in half with bare hands.
But as for one hand...normal humans don't have to think about it.
They can also free themselves when being buried alive.
There are so many unscientific things.
It's a movie after all.
For an execution-style death such as cutting the throat, the time required from the action to the complete death of the body is at least ten seconds.
At best, twisting the neck will cause shock, which will gradually lead to recovery after a period of time.
If the person's chin is suddenly lifted to one side and the top of his head is suddenly pushed down to the other side, the whole head will be twisted to the lateral plane. This reverse guillotine may cause spinal dislocation and rapid death, but only 70% of patients will die within a dozen seconds and can be rescued.
A blow to the chin or back of the head is much more reliable than twisting the neck, slitting the throat or stabbing the heart.
Neither the movie nor the copy is realistic, and anti-physics makes sense.
Rowan studied mathematics and Biology but he was not a stickler for it.
Just like now, in order to gain the trust of old Zorro, Rowan used his acting skills to the fullest "This is my brother's... He is dead."
"...I am sorry."
The old man seemed to have discovered something and let out a sigh of vicissitudes.
"Sorry? What do you have to be sorry for?"
Rowan chuckled.
Old Zorro wanted to say something but in the end he silently took back his wooden crutch and prepared to leave.
Ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves.
Diagonally across from the tavern, a group of cavalry passed by and stopped in fr ont of a building.
The leading cavalryman was Captain Harrison, who had killed the little horse thief's brother!
Rowan stared at Captain Harrison.
Old Zorro sensed something "Who is he? Your enemy?"
Rowan nooded his head "That's Captain Harrison, the enemy? Yes, the enemy. He killed my brother."
Old Zorro looked at him deeply "You are very calm. This is a good thing. Only by staying calm can you take revenge."
He had some admiration for Rowan.
He had seen this Captain Harrison in the company of Don Rafael Montero.
A professional soldier has many subordinates to help him. If he rushes forward rashly, he will only face death.
Recklessness is not bravery, only calmness can lead to success.
This young man has the potential to succeed in his revenge.
Speaking of which, the enemy has the captain as a helper, and this helper is the enemy of the boy in front of him who has some connection with him.
Maybe...
Old Zorro suddenly had an idea.
The old man's hand suddenly grabbed Rowan's collar.
Rowan, could not resist the old hand covered with caIluses inside and out, as rough as old pine bark, but very strong, and was dragged into a blind spot.
Pushing Leonhard against the wall, Old Zorro pointed at the swift sword at Rowan's waist and said, "Draw your sword."
