c166 Long range shooting gun
“Exploding fireball!”
Following a scolding sound, several fireballs rushed towards the carriage that was driving not far away and hit the magic barrier.
Cracks appeared in the barrier, it was crumbling, and the fireball exploded. The barrier could no longer hold on and burst apart.
Several more fireballs struck, the carriage exploded, and two figures blessed with the wind technique ran out.
A shadow spread on the ground at a very fast speed.
Just when the shadow was about to cover the two of them, a magic scroll was pulled open, and three lightsabers appeared instantly, pinning the shadow in place.
The shadow was struggling like a long snake, and the lightsaber was shaken.
Another magic scroll opened, the space moved, and the two people disappeared instantly.
The knights and mages who caught up from behind cursed a few times.
Ripples appeared in the space, and two figures appeared from inside, staggering and falling to the ground.
Galvin’s face was pale. Since His Highness’s magic power was sealed, he was unable to take action. He used various magic scrolls to escape along the way, which consumed a lot of money for him who didn’t have much magic power.
He took out a magic scroll again from his arms. After opening it, an illusory goddess light appeared, and dots of light fell on their bodies from his hands.
Only then did Galvin feel that his magic power and strength had recovered somewhat.
The seriously injured Vito’s condition improved slightly, but he was still incapable of fighting.
“This is not a place to stay for a long time. We must leave as soon as possible, go to the kingdom, and inform the royal family of the matter.” Galvin said.
Vito shook his head, “The other party must also know where we are going. There will definitely be traps on the road to the kingdom. We cannot take the main road and must take a detour.”
“Okay!” Galvin also had no ink stain, and helped Vito move forward.
The small town of Zeeland.
Harlem, dressed as an adventurer, walked on the road in the town. This place was similar to the towns she had passed before. It was no longer lively and every household had its doors and windows closed.
She saw a tavern in front of her, walked over quickly, and found that the tavern was not closed.
Entering inside, you can see only a few people in the dim environment.
“A glass of barleywine,” Harling said.
The bartender pushed the barley wine over and asked in surprise: “Adventurer?”
“Why, you can’t come?”
“No, it’s just that we rarely have outsiders come here recently, so we were surprised when we suddenly saw adventurers.” The bartender explained.
Harlin looked at the barley wine, took a sip from the glass, took out a few copper coins, and asked: “What happened? I felt something was wrong along the way. Many people in the town stayed at home and couldn’t come out.” , even the pubs are closed.”
The bartender took the copper coin, leaned over, and whispered: “Dark cultists have appeared recently, and they are all afraid, so they dare not come out.”
“Dark Cultist, these sewer things haven’t appeared for a long time, why did they suddenly appear again?”
“Who knows, they are like rats in the sewer. You never know when they will come out. Since you have walked through several towns, you should have heard about many people missing.”
Harlem nodded, indicating that he knew.
“There are also people missing in this town, but it’s not that serious. After all, it’s very far away from Oris City. In those towns that are close, not only serfs, but also civilians have disappeared a lot. Some people are still there during the day, and at night Just disappeared.”
The bartender looked interested, “I heard that a man and a woman were doing something important, and suddenly the woman disappeared.”
“Hahaha, don’t believe him. It’s nonsense. There is no such thing.”
“But it is true that many people have gone missing recently. The mercenary unions have issued bounty missions. Anyone who can find the missing people can get a lot of bounties.”
Other drinking adventurers started talking.
Harlin also laughed, “How can the dark cultists be so powerful? If they were powerful, they wouldn’t be hunted down by the church.”
The bartender shook his head slightly, “Don’t underestimate these people. They are not simple people who can survive the church’s siege. You adventurers should be more careful, don’t disappear too.”
“I see you know something?” Harlin took out two silver coins, “Tell me about it.”
The bartender quickly put the silver coins in his pocket and whispered: “There is going to be chaos. There is a big problem in Oris City. I suggest you go as far away as possible.”
“Oh, what about you? Why are you still running this tavern?” Harlem asked.
“Who makes my boss like to watch the fun? I can’t help it.” The bartender shrugged.
Harlin drank the remaining barley wine in one gulp and left the tavern.
The bartender never showed any fearful expression from beginning to end, indicating that he didn’t care at all. The owner of the tavern must not be simple, and it was unclear which force it was.
But one thing is certain, the situation in Olis City is serious.
Harlem decided to go take another look and find out what was going on.
She had previously used the communication bird to transmit information, and she did not know what the response of the Kingdom of Kais would be.
Darcy was holding a knight’s sword in his hand. In front of him was a dead Explosive Pig, with wounds all over his body, but the most critical injury was the gap on his head.
Panting, he dragged the Explosive Pig to Matthew.
“Teacher, teacher?”
Matthew came to his senses.
“What’s wrong with you?” Darcy asked confused.
“Nothing!” Matthew waved his hand, “Take the monster back.”
“We can add extra food again.” Darcy cheered.
Looking at Darcy’s figure, Matthew was still thinking about the battle scene just now.
Darcy used the knight’s combat skills to be able to compete with the Explosive Pig. It was not an easy task to kill the monster. However, after two shots from him, the Explosive Pig’s head was blown open and he fell directly to the ground. On the ground, the dead can no longer die.
This is the power of the magic crystal pistol, which can easily defeat the monsters.
Even from the beginning, Darcy could use the magic crystal pistol to kill the Warcraft, but Matthew still asked him to use the Warcraft to hone his actual combat abilities.
This is still the first version of the magic crystal pistol. It is said that Master Roland is researching new weapons.
As Lynn said, times have changed.
Compared with Darcy and Miles, they are very quick to accept new things. On the contrary, I, an old knight, still can’t accept it even after such a long time.
But he knew that he had to accept it even if he didn’t accept it.
Darcy was just a junior knight. If he attacked with a magic crystal pistol, even he might be killed.
Looking at the two apprentices walking away, Matthew followed them.
“Master, there are more and more refugees recently.” Karis’s face was full of worry.
He was particularly happy when the refugees came to Ashes Town at first, because these people were not ordinary refugees, but free citizens with serious skills and money. After they came to the town, they directly accelerated the development of the town again.
But as waves of refugees came, Karis realized the seriousness of the situation. Only a war would lead to the emergence of such large-scale refugees.
Have the Dark Cults become so rampant?
Karis was responsible for recording information and found that these refugees came from different towns. The number was extremely scary.
Moreover, these towns all belong to the earl’s territory, which is not a good sign.
“Sir, what I heard is that there are many problems in the city of Aulis, and the clergy of the church have not solved them, so there are free people running around.”
“It seems like we have to go to Olis City to have a look.” Linn said.
“No, Master, please don’t.” Karis immediately dissuaded him.
He had asked the master if he wanted to go take a look before, but now he had no idea. No one knew what the specific situation was in Oris City, but just from the mouths of the refugees, he knew that it was definitely not a safe place.
Although the master is a knight, he is of no use against the dark cultists. After all, those people were able to fight the church in the past.
Lin En gave a relieved look, “Of course I won’t go there by myself, I will definitely find someone to check it out.”
From the beginning to the end, he had no idea of going there in person. Although he was worried about civil strife, he would not risk his own life. Ash Town was his territory and confidence, but if he went to other places, he would have no confidence.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Karis patted his chest. He was really afraid that his master would do something risky.
“What happened to the city wall you were asked to supervise the construction of?” Linn asked.
“It is under construction. The city wall you are planning is unusual in both height and thickness. I have already transferred most of the serfs there, but the speed is still too slow. I wanted to ask you if you should also transfer the serfs who are mining. come out?”
“Yes, now is an emergency. If the town cannot be protected, then the mining area will also be occupied. By the way, there are so many refugees now, where are the serfs?”
“The number of serfs is also increasing. I went to several towns and saw more serfs for sale, and the prices were much cheaper. I took advantage of this time to buy a group of serfs. I was wondering whether I should continue to buy them.”
“Buy as many serfs as you want as long as they meet the standards. Don’t worry about money.”
The more times like this, the lower the price of serfs. He is different from other noble lords. Other lords are most afraid that there will be insufficient food after there are too many serfs, which will affect the stability of the territory.
As for him, he is now completely in a state of extreme shortage of people.
As early as after the first batch of refugees came, he realized that he could not pray that civil strife would not happen, but must be prepared for the occurrence of civil strife. There was no shortage of food and cloth in the territory, and he also controlled a large mining area. He arranged for Caris to build the city wall.
It is not about surrounding the entire Ash Town, but building a city wall in the direction leading out of the forest.
Little Tom ran over and said, “Sir, Master Roland wants you to go.”
Lin En stood up immediately. Roland would not call him for no reason, which meant that he had made a new breakthrough.
“Go and do your work.” Linn said.
Karis did not follow to find Master Roland. He still had many things to deal with.
Forge workshop.
Roland directly handed over a weapon three times the length of a magic crystal pistol, “Try it.”
Lin En looked at the weapon. This long gun was similar to a sniper rifle in appearance, and had a sight, but it was also engraved with magic lines.
He held the gun and fired, and could easily see the end of the yard through the sight. As he pulled the trigger, a slight sound sounded, and a stream of light instantly exploded the target at the end.
“The range is longer and the power is stronger.” Linn commented.
“More than that, after experiments, the current longest shooting distance is 530 meters, but this distance is not the end point. There is still the possibility of improvement. In addition, have you seen the material of that target?”
Lin En thought about it and said in surprise: “That’s not wood, but iron?”
“Yes, it is a target made of iron ore, but it is easily exploded. The power is very terrifying. When converted to a mage, it is equivalent to high-level magic, but it is faster, more aggressive, and more hidden than high-level magic. sex.
At the beginning, the shooting sound was very loud and could be heard from a long distance, which would affect the attack. Later, a silent magic circle was engraved on it. The magic circle was just the lowest level. If you want to enhance the effect, Then higher-grade materials must be used.
However, although the power is great, the production cost is also very high, but it is still far behind the low-cost requirements you mentioned. ”
“There is no problem with this. Ordinary weapons can be made as cheaply as possible. These updated and optimized weapons do not need to reduce costs excessively, but should focus on actual effects.” Lin En said.
He touched the gun like a baby and asked, “What’s the name of this?”
“It hasn’t been named yet, but I have an idea.”
“you say.”
“Long-range No. 2 shooter.”
Linn was a little surprised, “I thought you would name it after yourself. After all, you are the one who made it.”
Roland shook his head, “This weapon is not designed by me alone. It is mainly your ideas and opinions, and Hamid’s help. If it is really to be named, your names will also need to be on it. When the time comes, it will be called It’s so troublesome, but it’s not as simple as this.”
“Okay, let’s call it this name.”
Linn fired again and asked, “How many can be made with a long-range No. 2 shooter?”
“The materials are sufficient, but it will take some time to make.”
“Try to speed up the time, and it is best to make more than three.”
Although Roland has been staying in the workshop, he also knows what is going on in the town, but now it seems that the matter is more serious than he thought.
“Troublesome?”
“Yes, if you are not careful, a war will engulf the entire Kingdom of Kais.”
“It is indeed troublesome. Even if Ash Town is in the Sunset Forest, it cannot escape. I will make it as soon as possible. In addition, there are a lot of magic crystal pistols. However, although there are many weapons, there are not enough people to use them. This is a problem .”
“I have no choice but to recruit extraordinary people as much as I can. After all, loyalty is the most important thing.”
