The Goblin Bomb and Magic Staff in the Magic Lab in the southwest of Crewe City have been purchased by the military department and many noble and wealthy families in the past year.

The main procurement object of the military department is goblin bombs, and because of its instability, the magic cane is only bought and played by big nobles or wealthy families, except for the captain of a knight guard who is still in the experimental period in the kingdom.

The uniqueness and monopoly of these two products in the laboratory have made countless changes in this originally humble experimental base in the past year. Because of the production and packaging of the products, the laboratory has bought a lot of land in the surrounding area, and its land is five times more than last year. To put this into consideration, the lab constructed two sturdy factories on the purchased land, using steel and magical soil.

These two factories are now very famous in the southwest part of the city, and they are famous for their ugly appearance! But the designer of these two buildings, Miss Nema, does not care about their ugly appearance, she cares about practicality.

After seeing these two factories, Sir Sir Sira Marne of the military headquarters also sent a special report to Pedi, requesting that the army above the corps level be equipped with steel frames and mages to build magical soil layers for the construction of barracks during the army's march.

Pedi certainly did not agree with Siala Marne's suggestion, because there was no need, at least with the current state of war on the mainland, to make the camp so strong.

What really caught Pedy's attention in the lab was about the wall of fire, where Pedi imagined a simple drawing of a musket based on a few memories of his previous life and explained it. I don't know if it's a problem with the drawings themselves, or a problem with the production technology, for a whole year, even the simplest arquebus could not be made.

In the words of Miss Nema, who is in charge, our blacksmith's smelting technology is too backward to make such an elaborate trigger as in the drawings.

However, the Iron System with relatively simple technical requirements was created, but its existence was even more frustrating than that of the Staff of Magical Energy.

Just as Pedi was observing the test site, Omiqi next to him mysteriously took out something similar to a bracer from his test site workbench, and put it on his small wrist very skillfully, looked at Pedi with a smile on his face and said: "This is my result in the past six months." ”

Pedi's gaze was immediately attracted by the silver bracelet-like device in Omiqi's hand, and his holy power could clearly feel that this device contained a very strong earth-based magical energy.

"The calculation structure of this circle above is different from any formula currently used by mages, and it took us nearly a year to construct it with most of the magic professors in Crewe City, do you mean to say that it is your result?" Nema walked over with a look of disdain.

"Without the information I provided, you can construct such a circle formula?" Omic immediately retorted, not feeling any embarrassment on his face.

Although Nema was arguing with Omiqi, it could be seen from the expression on her face that she didn't really care about what Omiqi had just said. Just as Omiqi was temporarily setting up the device in his hand, Nema also looked at the king and said, "Your Majesty, we have developed a very good magic weapon... Does the military department want to procure it immediately?"

"What kind of weapon?" Pei Di asked subconsciously, and then looked back and forth at the two voices, "Are you short of money again?" He was still thinking about the conversation between the two of them just now, and the phrase 'different from any formula currently used by mages' caused him to think.

Moreover, the formula itself was provided by Omiqi, a goblin who was not proficient in any magic at all!, but Pedi's thoughts were limited to curiosity, so he didn't ask immediately.

"Let's not talk about money for now, you can take a look at me first. As Omiqi's shrill voice rang out, the circle outlined on his wrist like a silver bracelet swirled with an earthy halo. In Peidi's astonished gaze, an earthy yellow energy shield visible to the naked eye suddenly opened.

However, it was when Pei Di was pleasantly surprised, the originally stable energy shield made a 'flutter' sound, and before Pei Di could react, the energy shield 'z' disappeared without a trace.

Pedi didn't know how to describe it, and he glanced at Miss Nema next to him, who was shrugging at her. So, he turned his attention to the delicate magic device on Omiqi's wrist. It was still silently on the goblin's wrist, the rich magical energy inside had disappeared, and the thick earthy smell left in the air explained everything that had just happened.

"It's an accident!" Omiqi hurriedly explained, and Naima, who was next to him, shook his head directly.

"I haven't even been able to test its defenses. After a brief moment of stunnedness, Pedi had already reacted, and he did not seem surprised, because he had long been accustomed to separating 'surprise' and 'joy' in this test building.

"Your Majesty, you should believe me, it was just an accident. Omiqi tried to activate the device on his wrist again, but no matter how hard he tried, the device didn't respond.

"The magic energy stored in it has long been consumed in the irregular burst of energy just now. With Peidi's control of the Holy Force, he could clearly feel the subtle changes of all the energy around him, "Your idea is very good! It's been a short time, but I just sensed that the energy shield on your wrist is a good one, and what you need to do now is try to make it last a little longer. ”

"As I said earlier, this thing is not stable yet, don't show it out. Naima hurriedly said on the side: "Although I don't know where you got this set of basic circle formulas, the construction of each new set of magic circles is not something that can be matured in just half a year. ”

After Naima complained about playing with the test items in Omiqi's hand, she looked at the king next to her, with a smile like a profiteer on her face, and said, "Your Majesty, you still come to see another of our products, which promises to make the people in the military department have nothing to say." "She has come to describe what she has in her hands as a 'product'.

Pedi still knew the young magician somewhat, and although she was crazy at times, at least she didn't like Omiqi, who had the deceptive nature of a merchant and liked to fool a large sum of money with some half-finished products. Therefore, Pedi is full of expectations for the next 'product'.

"Bring your merchandise here. ”

Pedi didn't want to follow Nema to her lab, that was his least favorite place, because it was filled with countless 'crazy people'! Those people were almost crazy paranoid in some ways, which made Pedi feel very awkward and uncomfortable in the middle of it.

Nema didn't move after hearing Pedy's words, her right hand sketched in the space, opening the barrier of her personal space, and in the blink of an eye, a weapon similar to the rifle in Pedi's eyes appeared in Miss Sorcerer's hand.

"You've made a musket?" said Peddy's face was delighted.

"Not so fast," a flash of embarrassment flashed between Nema's eyebrows, "Your previous idea was very good, but we felt that the combination of magic and gunpowder was the best way. Pointing to the butt, she explained, "We moved away from physical ignition and used magic instead. ”

Pedi then noticed that the gun in Nema's hand actually didn't have a trigger!, however, there was a very simple magic rune drawn on the butt of the gun, which was incomprehensible to Pedi.

"It's an irregular magical rune that only needs a slight mental stimulation to activate it. When Naima noticed the strong interest in the king's eyes, he hurriedly introduced, "After the magic circle is activated, it will directly ignite the gunpowder in the barrel of the gun, so that the steel pellet will be sprayed out!"

"You can show me that. Pedi couldn't help but want to see the results.

"No problem. Nema walked briskly to the test site next to it.

Naturally, Pedi followed, and Omiqi, the goblin, had already run to the side to tinker with the malfunctioning device he had just tested.

As she aimed at a pre-adjusted target at the test ground, Nema said, "This shape you've designed is perfect for covert attacks and aiming...", leaning against an earthen pillar, perhaps having been tested countless times to make Nema's shooting position look good.

"Bang!"

"Smack!"

There is no imaginary target being pierced,

After the long-lost gunshot, the opposite arrow target was directly hit to the ground!

Pedi was visibly stunned...

"Bang!"

"Smack!"

The sound and scene of gunfire and target explosion brought Pedi back to his senses.

"How did you do that?" said Pedy's face with obvious joy, but of course more shock. He was shocked by the power of the firearm.

"Did you do anything to the steel shot?" said Pedi at once, and answered as if he were asking himself.

"Yes!" Nema nodded, "With this kind of thing, the mage no longer has to calculate the distance and cast angle before casting a spell. ”

"Can ordinary people use this snatch to create such power?" asked Pei Di quickly.

"How is this possible?" Naima shook her head, "Ordinary people can activate the magic circle on the butt of the gun at most to launch the steel pellet, if you want to activate the magic circle on the steel pellet, you need at least the knowledge of the magic apprentice... If it is forcibly activated, it will directly blow up the barrel. ”

Miss Mage shook her head with some regret, but it was more of her frustration after the king had uncovered her little trick, because it meant that there was no way to fool more money. As she spoke, she took out the prepared steel pellet from the pocket of her somewhat dirty clothes and handed it to the king, "Moreover, the depiction of the magic circle on this is also quite difficult, and it cannot be mass-produced for the time being!"

Pedi nodded his head continuously, his face sometimes surprised and sometimes irritated, and finally he looked at Nema and said, "You say, if I gather a group of young people with the level of magic apprentices, can I form a huge army of magicians?"

"Theoretically, yes, but is the magic apprentice willing to be an ordinary soldier?" Naima nodded and shook her head again: "Besides, as I said earlier, this kind of steel pellet can't be mass-produced at all. ”

"There's always a way, isn't it?" Peddy shrugged, "We can even encourage users to build their own circles on the steel pellets. ”

"That's a good way to do it. Nema nodded, then looked at Pedi hopefully, "So, have you decided to procure this weapon, and how much do you need?"

Pei Di smiled, "Don't forget, I'm also a shareholder of this laboratory building... So, this kind of thing is still you arranging for someone to talk to the military department... I'm sure Sheila Marne will be thrilled when she sees this weapon!"

Just as Nema smiled happily, Peidi asked again: "Why are you still worried about the financial problem, didn't the Duchy of Twak and the Elok Territory order a lot of explosives? Also, the War Department of the Herion Territory should have ordered a lot of explosives before!"

"In the past six months, the transaction volume of the laboratory building has exceeded at least 100,000 kroner, of which the profit is at least 60,000 kroner, so you have used up all this money?" Pei Di's final words were a little questioning, because the corruption within the kingdom made him extremely sensitive to financial issues.

Nema didn't notice the king's sensitivity, she complained directly, "It's not Omiqi's experiment yet, do you know what his shield was tested on at the beginning? He actually wanted to put that kind of energy shield on the warship! Oh my God! I should have stopped him at that time!"

It could be seen that the female mage was full of complaints about Omiqi's ongoing experiments, "In the past three months, that damn goblin has spent no less than 20,000 kroner to shield the warship, not to mention other spellcasting materials! Of course, the most fundamental reason is that there is not enough money for him, otherwise I really can't imagine how crazy he will be. ”

Pei Di was stunned by Miss Mage's words through gritted teeth, and with Miss Mage's words in her mind, she subconsciously imagined the appearance of a warship holding a huge magic shield sailing on the sea.

Not to mention, it's really tempting!

"You should have stopped him in the first place, but instead of doing so, you provided him with technical support, otherwise with Omiqi's magical knowledge, he wouldn't have been able to draw such a precise magic circle!"

Pedi calmly analyzed the situation and directly stated his analysis.

"Well... Well, I'll admit I was looking forward to it at first, because Omiqi's theory was correct, after all, the city shield of the Mage Tower already said it all. And all we're going to do is streamline, but—" Naima shook her head, "you see now, it's a failed experiment in magic. ”

"No, I don't think Omiqi's experiment was a failure. Pedi shook his head slightly, glancing at the closed door of Omiqi's private laboratory, "In a sense, Omiqi's experiment, if successful, will be more meaningful than the weapon in your hand... And, I think he's very close to success now!"

"But his experiments are not what our lab can support with the current funds..."Nema looked at Peddy expectantly, her slightly dirty eyelashes blinking.
