But because of this, some scholars of the Northern School have proposed that since the great elven poets knew that the reason for the fall of the elven empire was the imperial civil war, why did they not mention this major historical event in "The Legend of the Elf King"?

So it is not mentioned, does that mean that the root cause of the fall of the empire is not the civil war, and even the so-called "elven empire civil war" does not exist at all.

This view was strongly refuted by the mainstream academic community, with Catherine's teacher, Quisling, bluntly saying that "it is better to read more than to talk about it". Quisling's subtext is to mock the Northern School's lack of entry into the study of The Legend of the Elven King.

However, Catherine privately knew that her teacher Quisling was unwilling to admit that her interpretation of "The Legend of the Elf King" had reached a bottleneck, and she could not come up with evidence to directly refute the questions of the Northern School.

Asking Rain about the real reason for the fall of the Elven Empire was finally in his stomach, because while Catherine was still in her head, Rain had already brought the topic back to choosing weapons.

"One of the main reasons for my study of alchemy was to find a way to break through the limitations of individual warriors' lack of talent. As the rain spoke, the metal walls around Catherine suddenly became transparent, revealing the humanoid robot puppet outside.

One of the humanoid robot golems assembled a cone-shaped device, which was the same long-range attack device that Catherine was familiar with that could fire steel bullets.

"The device you see is a long-range weapon I invented a few years ago, called the Conical Cannon. This conical cannon can be installed after any part of the body has been modified. Originally, it was as powerful as a bow and arrow, but it was difficult to deal much damage to a sturdy metal body, so it was necessary to add alchemy patterns to the fired steel pellets to obtain an explosive effect and increase its power. As Rain explained, the humanoid robot puppet outside picked up a steel shot and threw it forward, and when the steel shot hit the ground, a spark exploded, blasting a small hole in the metal floor.

"But I don't recommend that you modify your own body rig, it's more suitable for fully modified puppet bodies. "So I'm fitting it to that demonic instinct of yours." ”

Catherine was surprised. "Instinct can also be modified for equipment?"

"Instinct itself cannot be transformed. Rain explained, "I'm adding a conical cannon to the compression suit. I've already studied the compression technology of the steel nest, and it's very inspiring. Their compression kit is well-structured, and while the compression is a bit worse, it leaves room for additional devices. ”

Catherine was astonished. The bull's-eyed demon instinct, which is as huge as a hill, is only the size of a skull after compression, and it is said that the compression effect is slightly worse in the eye of the rain.

"I thought it would be quite difficult to compress to that extent. Catherine said, "The bull's eye is huge. ”

"With my compression device, I can make it three-quarters smaller. "The sound of the rain is slightly raised," of course, the advantage of the set is that it is flexible, not limited by time and place, and can be used repeatedly. If a compression device is used, a compressor must be used for both compression and reduction. The compressor is not small in size and inconvenient to handle. ”

Outside, the humanoid robot golem carried a lumpy steel ball and placed it on the table. Catherine took a closer look, wasn't it her bullseye's demonic instinct, but the original flat metal surface was inlaid with conical cannons smaller than fists.

"The use of the conical cannon is special, which is to establish communication between the transformed body and soul to achieve the role of controlling the firing. Rain began to explain how to use the weapons on the modified compression suit, "However, Instinct itself does not have the ability to control the conical cannon, so you can't directly control the conical cannon on the compression suit. The way to release the compression suit is externally triggered, which I don't think is very convenient. Now I've added an uncompression button. However, this button also has a hidden trigger method, pressing the button three times in quick succession, and after three seconds, all the conical cannons on the set will be activated, and they will fire automatically. ”

As Rain explains, the humanoid robot golems outside hold up their compressed bull's eyes to show Catherine, apparently knowing that Catherine can see outside. The uncompression button is a fingernail-sized metal protrusion that is inconspicuous if you don't look closely.

"Generally, a conical gun can fire three to five steel pellets at a time, and it needs to be reloaded when it is used up. I have a total of sixteen small conical cannons on the compression suit, each salvo can attack sixteen directions, and will rotate on its own to shoot all three steel bullets in one second, covering a considerable three-dimensional area. ”

Catherine said, "But it's a single-use weapon, and it's not enough for me to be safe." ”

Rain said, "It's not enough. I said I'd compensate for borrowing your compression suit for research, so I revamped it. I will also teach you how to make steel shots, and later you can make them yourself. ”

Catherine felt that the rain was kind. Although it is a one-time weapon, it can be taken by surprise at a critical moment, and it is especially important as a group attack weapon when you are in a siege.

"Now let's talk about the weapons I picked for you. Rain finally got back to the point, "Given your actual situation, I'm inclined to equip you with a defensive-oriented weapon, do you agree?"

Catherine nodded in agreement. She doesn't have martial arts, and when magic doesn't work, she can't take the initiative to attack like the Ice Bear Abyss and fight on the front line.

Rain continued, "Of all the weapons I've invented, the best defensive is the Standpoint Fortress. However, the fortress is too cumbersome, and it requires several people to drive together, so it has never actually been on the battlefield until now. ”

"Battlefield?" Catherine couldn't help but interject, "Is it the battlefield outside the city to fight that fish-headed and lion-like behemoth?"

"It's not a battlefield, it's for cleaning up scrap and putting useless machine golems and metal back into the furnace. ”

"Ahh ”

"Huh, do you know where that monster came from?" Rain seemed a little surprised.

Catherine couldn't help but smile bitterly, not to mention that she recognized that Adler, one of the rulers of the Discord Realm, was going to hunt down Bossetoiffel. "That's one of the rulers of the Discord Realm......"

"Needless to say. The rain immediately interrupted Catherine's words.
