Section 27 Modified Separation
Nevertheless, the director sent out his men to investigate the people in possession of the snuff bottles, and by the time Harry's pair were found, the snuff bottles had already been sold to a local nobleman, and the guards heard that they had bought them from a porcelain shop, which was a regular source, so they did not pursue them further. Thus, the investigation naturally ended up at a dead end, and all snuff bottles had a legitimate source. That means that the pair in the hands of the green-robed thief either kept it for himself or didn't make a move on Prontera.
If it's an ordinary bandit gang, the director really doesn't have to worry about it, after all, there are many people on the other side, and they definitely need a den, as long as they look carefully, they can always have some eyebrows. But this is a robbery that was done by one person, and he was a masked master, no one knew what he looked like, no one knew where he came from, and it was not even clear whether he was using martial arts or magic, which was really a headache.
As a last resort, the director had no choice but to send the soldiers of the police station to start patrolling near Prontera, and at the same time continue to offer a bounty for the capture of the green-robed thief, as long as the clues provided can help the police station find or catch the green-robed thief, he can finally get a reward of 3,000 gold coins.
What Harry didn't expect was that this robbery finally brought out his reputation as a green-robed thief, and with the issuance of the bounty order, the prize amount of 10,000 gold coins was the first in Prontera's nearly 20-year history. For a while, the green-robed thieves became the hottest topic of discussion in Prontera, especially in the business circle, after all, most of the green-robed thieves robbed businessmen, and they were all monopoly-level businessmen, and the businessmen who had not been robbed couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, who knows when it will be their turn? However, after the explanation of those merchants who had been patronized by Harry, and relieved themselves, the other party just wanted a few hundred gold coins, in this case, the other party should not be too embarrassed by the cooperation point to send the gold coins directly to the other party. Didn't you see what happened to Son Speier? Trying to resist, isn't it a fool in the end, and I definitely won't do such a stupid thing.
Outside, because of the uproar he made, Harry himself had been locked in his room for the past few days, studying magic. Although magic has encountered a bottleneck for the time being, Harry is not ready to give up studying magic, and his mental power seems to be growing rapidly. Feeling that he lacked magic with both striking surface and power, he decided to make the most of gunpowder. Now he can indeed use the earth separation technique to obtain gunpowder from the conditional environment, but a separation technique almost consumes half of his mana, unless he prepares in advance, otherwise he will not have a chance to use it when it comes to battle.
Through the psychic perception of the Separation Technique, Harry knew that the magic used the dumbest method of separating the earth elementals, first finding all the target earth elements in the area, and then forcibly extracting them from the other earth elements. In this way, in order to open a passage for the target earth element, almost all the earth elements in the range have to make a big move, which of course consumes a lot of mana.
Harry's method of improvement was to use the gap between the various earth elements to move the earth element near the gunpowder element slightly, making room for the gunpowder element, so that the gunpowder element could move outward a little. And the original position of the gunpowder element will be occupied by other earth elements due to the pressure inside the earth element, so little by little to move the space, in the end, the obstacles near the gunpowder element will become less and less, and the gap will become larger and larger, so that in the end the outside is all gunpowder elements, and this separation technique is also considered successful!
Let's take an analogy: for example, if you want to get the bottom stone of a basket of different shapes, even if you tie it with a thread and force it out, you may not be able to pull it all at once. Because the edges and corners of other stones are mixed together, and you move a basket with one stone, your strength is fighting against all the stones, and of course it is not easy.
But if you gently use the thread in your hand to shake and slowly pull outward, the stone will gradually find a gap and exchange seats with nearby stones, and finally you will take it out. Since each time the stone is moved outward, it only needs to rearrange the seat with the nearby stone, so it does not require much effort at all.
Of course, the improved separation technique also has drawbacks, first of all, it requires the caster's mental power to be relatively high, after all, mental power is the thread that pulls the stone, and it needs to be maintained all the time, but this is not a problem for Harry at all.
The second is that the modified dissection takes a long time, about 8 or 9 seconds to complete. Fortunately, Harry was able to cast four Separation spells at the same time, so he could get a lot of gunpowder at once. Moreover, Harry did not need to be guided when performing the Modified Separation Technique, after all, the Earth Elemental that was moved did not automatically return to its place, so Harry could separate for a few seconds during the battle, and then find a chance to separate for a few seconds until the Separation Technique was completed.
However, the proportion of gunpowder in the land is not necessarily the same, the content is relatively high in dry land such as rocks and sand, and the content is average in places such as mud and urban areas, and it is almost impossible to find in swamps and waters, so Harry's gunpowder explosion is also somewhat limited.
With the improvement of the separation technique, Harry has a killer move. In battle, as long as the terrain is favorable, Harry can find time to perform the Separation Technique, slowly gathering gunpowder, and in general, an egg-sized gunpowder explosion is enough to withstand his compressed fireball. When you have nothing to do, you can also use the separation technique to accumulate some gunpowder for yourself and make it into a simple grenade, which can be described as a sharp weapon for home travel, killing people and setting fires.
After not going out for a few days, Harry didn't know that there was a legend of his other identity circulating outside, and he didn't know that he was wanted because there were no portraits on it, only words, because there were no portraits on it, only words. After calculating the time, it is time for me to earn some living expenses.
