Chapter Fifty-Nine: Trying the Gun
Watching the anvil easily pierce through the erected plate armor, Lenia's eyes showed a look of disbelief.
At the beginning, when the anvil shot and broke the wooden stick fifty meters away, it didn't surprise her too much, after all, she had also seen steaming ***, and this cheap simplified version should also be able to achieve such power.
It makes sense to pierce the standard armor of a regular soldier in the back, as most bows and crossbows can achieve the same effect.
But the fine armor, which was a symbol of the knight's strength, was pierced by an anvil, which finally made her feel an inexplicable threat and a wavering in her faith.
She felt as if some shackles had been opened by the crisp blow, but she wasn't sure what it meant.
By the time she saw her discarded iron-black magic armor being lifted, she finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"This ...... This ......" She looked at Duke and the familiar armor not far away, and was a little confused for a moment, she really didn't expect the lord to bring this thing up as an experimental subject.
Duke just smiled and nodded to show that he didn't care, even the lowest-level magic equipment, its cost and protective ability were incomparable to the original knight's armor.
However, Duke didn't have that much money to spare to buy a real piece of magical equipment, so he could only pick up Lenia's discarded armor and use it as a barely qualified mock object.
Although this set of armor cannot be repaired after being damaged, and has lost its original magical protection, it can be regarded as a first-class level of ordinary equipment in terms of materials and physical protection capabilities, and can be used as a good reference object.
As for whether or not to take care of Lenia's emotions, it is still easy to make a decision in the face of a huge amount of gold coins.
The anvil still skillfully loaded the ammunition and aimed it at the target in front of him, and hit the target smoothly.
But the result of this shot was not as effective as before, there was a muffled crack, and the projectile embedded in the armor did not penetrate it.
Lenia breathed a sigh of relief, while Anvil looked at her work with some dissatisfaction, apparently thinking that her work shouldn't be so bad.
When the guards carried the target over, Duke found that the depth of the projectile embedded was close to penetrating the armor, if it was an ordinary person who was hit by this shot, he would basically be helpless, and the knight with extraordinary abilities was estimated to be enough to drink a pot.
"If we had been closer or had continued to improve, we wouldn't have been where we are now. The anvil took out a handkerchief and wiped the barrel of the gun, and said a little unwillingly.
Seeing that the anvil and the guards were preparing to pack up the experimental equipment, Lenia suddenly said faintly, "Lord, are there no further experiments?"
Duke looked at Lenia with some surprise, wondering why she was asking such a question, now that he had basically tested the maximum range and damage effect that this new weapon could achieve, it seemed that there was nothing left to test.
"Well, the experiment is indeed over, and there are no more projects to follow. Duke nodded, affirming Lenia's question.
Then she drew her saber under Duke's astonished gaze, stood still about thirty meters away, and took a soft breath.
"Please do another experiment and shoot me!"
Suddenly, as if she had made some important decision, she let out a cloudy breath and asked Duke.
The anvil stopped wiping the gun and looked at Duke in some disbelief, and Duke didn't know for a moment which nerve Lenia had made a mistake and wanted to test the gun.
"Lenia, this is not necessary, this thing is not designed to target high-level martial artists like you, but only to deal with ordinary soldiers......"
"Anyway, I'd love to experience it for myself, so trust me. ”
Lenia held her sword across her chest and began to burst out with a powerful strength belonging to the level 5 Great Knight, and she saw a wall of almost substantial fighting spirit appear in front of her, exuding overwhelming power oppression.
"Lord, I think Miss Lenia can block my attacks. ”
As the designer of a new weapon, the anvil is still very clear about the upper limit of his work's ability, and it may still have a more lethal threat to the first and second level of low-level martial artists, and the effect on middle and high-level martial artists may be the same as raindrops.
Duke hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Lenya's request, allowing the anvil to shoot at an unimportant location.
The anvil gave Duke a reassuring look, and then skillfully loaded the ammunition, concentrating on Lenya, whose momentum had climbed to the peak in front of him, and was fully guarded.
"Three...... Two...... One...... Launch!"
In order for Lenia to prepare, Duke helped the anvil count down the launch time.
In the end, only two bangs and bells were heard, and Lenia, who was not far away, changed the sword in her hand to a split, and no other part of her body was affected.
Duke used his eagle eye to look intently, only to see two inconspicuous pieces of wreckage on the ground, what appeared to be an object the size of a pigeon's egg, split in half with a knife.
This woman...... It's too strong, right?
He looked at the projectile on the ground in disbelief, and then watched as Lenia calmly returned the sword into the sheath, stood in place with her arms folded, and calmly spat out the shocking words: "Come again!"
Although Lenia took a more dangerous stance this time, neither Duke nor Anvil dared to question anything, so they had to reload their ammunition and re-aim at her.
"Three...... Two...... One...... Launch!"
Duke counted down to three again, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound like a rapidly moving object hitting a wall.
A projectile the size of a pigeon's egg hit Lenia's left shoulder, but there was no splattering of flesh and blood.
Lenia wrapped her whole body with Dou Qi, and the flying projectiles only caused a faint ripple on the protective shield formed by Dou Qi, and finally gently slid to the ground due to a complete loss of power.
Although he had expected this outcome, Duke still felt a little hard to believe when it actually happened in front of him.
The sword splits the bullet, and the body receives the gun, although it is not a very powerful firearm, but it is at least a gun!
was so undignified to be blocked by a girl with her body!
"How much does this new weapon cost?" said Joseph, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had recovered from the shock, and immediately asked with burning eyes how much it would cost to make a weapon from an anvil.
Although the results of the next two rounds of experiments were not ideal, it is impossible for everyone to be Lenia, and it is still extremely valuable for ordinary soldiers.
And according to his observations, this thing is also very easy to use, and after watching it for a while, Joseph feels that he can come and shoot a few times.
Anvil lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied, "According to your human calculations, one gold coin can probably make three guns." ”
"One gold coin, three guns, can you give me a thousand first!"
