Chapter 170: The Devil's Hole Cards
"The prince of the Soret Empire!?" After repeating it again in disbelief, Ashine clapped his fists as if he suddenly realized, "It's really possible, after all, although Carol is usually dressed as a poor adventurer, he always has an indescribable extravagance......
This is true, he still complained in his heart at the beginning: why is there such a big difference in temperament even though he is dressed similarly.
But then then.
Originally, Carroll's protagonist-like appearance with blonde hair and two-color pupils was a little unpleasant, even if he added the explosion of force value, he was excellent among bards, and he could speak eloquently enough to eat by telling stories. But that guy who is said to be so poor that he can't afford to eat is still hiding the identity of the heir of the imperial family......
"Tsk, where did this come from, it's really unpleasant to think about. ”
After deciding to keep his distance from the hateful winner of life in the future, Ai Xiu held his mouth and ignored it.
"Ah, I was going to rest, but since I'm disturbed, forget it. I'm going to go to the Adventurer's Guild later," he continued, after a short silence, "stay here for now, I'll be back by evening." ”
"What are you doing there, sir?" Paul tilted his head in confusion.
"I'm a little concerned about the Sorett Empire, and it's best to find adventurers who understand, so I need to post a quest. ”
At this point, he suddenly paused, and Ai Xiuyin looked at his hands in confusion, muttering word by word: "Besides, there are still some materials to collect...... It may also need to be commissioned by a professional alchemist. ”
All the while, he didn't want to believe in his own death, and he just turned into a skeleton.
It is said that the time to determine a person's worldview is only twenty years from birth, and this sentence is just right for him. Although theoretically he has lived for a few more centuries, his sense of the reality of the other world is always vague, and occasionally he even feels that he will wake up and return to the rental house with only a few dozen square meters when he opens his eyes.
But looking at Ah Shu, who is now dying and hovering on the line of life and death, he felt a touch in his heart.
Because of the he researched in the library, he would have a headache when he saw Felicia, but the moment he really saw that familiar figure fall from the sky, he didn't feel relieved that the guy who might kill him disappear at any time.
All I felt was fear, and unforgettable fear came to my face.
Seeing with your own eyes that the only person who can prove that he exists and has come to this world is about to disappear without a trace...... Although it was not heartbreaking, it was definitely not pleasant.
This inexplicable feeling also reminded him that he had already been a part of this (other world) for a long time.
He is still somewhat self-aware, he just wants to be a little person who can get by, and he has no great ideals.
Therefore, he was reluctant to think about it, whether it was due to his nature or the humanitarian spirit he retained in his heart, which even Ai Xiuyin himself did not know, and occasionally thought of it would curb these terrifying thoughts.
But now it's almost time to draw the Traveler's hole cards into your hand.
After all, if the Demon King is a powerful character with the power to destroy the world - then he has been the Demon King since the beginning.
When he first arrived at the Undead Keep, he had made something resembling a powder keg.
Black powder can be said to be a necessary artifact for any traverser, although Ai Xiuyin does not know the best ratio, but the basic raw materials are still somewhat understood, do you know that these raw materials can not be tried one by one? The materials for making gunpowder come from a wide range of sources, as long as you remember to experiment with sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter, and according to the ratio, you can find a relatively perfect formula, and there is almost no technical threshold.
Although it is impossible to build muskets and cannons in a short period of time, this is a different world where magic exists, and there is no need to go through the process at all.
After all, the advantage of the undead is that they can summon a large number of skeleton soldiers to act as human bombs.
If there are only a number of Skull Sea and it is not very powerful, then what about the Sea of Skull, where each skeleton soldier is tied to a powder keg?
With this as the source, coupled with the concept of a musket, even if you don't know anything about the details, as long as you know the general direction, you can provide ideas and entrust professional blacksmiths and alchemy workshops to design them.
But if gunpowder alone is like a mixture, it is indeed too much to underestimate the powerhouses of the other world.
The instantaneous speed of the confrontation can reach dozens of miles, and the sword qi that can be swung at any time can cut off the superhuman with a wall several meters thick like cutting tofu, not to mention the most primitive muskets and Italian cannons, even if the modern army shoots, it may not be pleased, the simplest truth is that ordinary magicians can use spells to detonate gunpowder derivatives from a few kilometers away, and then they will be blown up to the sky before they even move the base camp, how can this special defense?
Therefore, Ashine did not want to slowly start the era of hot weapons.
But if gunpowder is something that most traversers can do, they have a unique advantage.
As a student majoring in pharmacology, he knows how to cultivate and prepare the basis of microorganisms, if this statement is too academic, then the popular saying is - in the other world dominated by cold weapons and special energy, he can directly fight bacteriological warfare.
Although the equipment conditions are insufficient, the equipment and equipment can be made slowly, and the most difficult principles and ideas are unimpeded.
The unknown is always the most terrifying, because there is simply no way to fight it.
Thanks to the blessing that the Holy Light and Life magic of the other world can quickly heal wounds, these supernatural powers have completely crushed the traditional medical treatment from the results, which also leads to the development direction of the other world in the treatment of injuries, which is to research more magic-saving and powerful magic and divine arts, rather than dealing with a bunch of useless plants in the dark research room.
This is also a matter of course, only the good ways will be retained, and the inferior things will naturally be eliminated.
Not only the aristocracy, but also the more powerful and wealthy people admired the magic of excellent effect and quick effect, and the only people who needed medicine were poor and destitute commoners. Because of this, the development of medicine in another world is still stuck in the way of crushing herbs and smearing, which is simply backward.
In addition, there are few reasons why no one studies pharmacology, which may also involve the transfer of benefits.
He had long considered that under the condition that the priests who used divine magic could replace the profession of doctors and the widespread existence, the Holy See combined the means of propagating doctrines, and behind the wide opening of the door of relief to win people's hearts, almost the entire medical industry in the other world was monopolized in the name of divine power, and the additional benefits brought by this were so huge that Eshuin did not even dare to imagine.
But I have such a black technology in my memory.
Completely aimed at the weakness of civilization, once discovered, it is not just such a simple knowledge as the enemy of the world.
No matter how strong a creature is, it can't resist the destruction that comes from within the body, and the HIV virus (AIDS) is the most obvious example, when the lymphocytes in the body that resist the invasion of the virus are destroyed, and at the moment when the immune system completely fails, no matter how strong the world champion is, he will become a poor worm with no power to restrain the chicken, and finally he can only be infected with countless germs in fear and trembling, and die of the torture of the disease.
There are countless examples of this in modern society.
And Ai Xiuyin has always hesitated, because he knows that once it is replicated here, there is no room for recovery.
In a world where there is not even the concept of microorganisms, no matter how skilled the cardinal archbishop is in the magic and how skilled the healing methods are, no one can solve these demons that are invisible to the naked eye but real, and they can't even find the source.
In a world where the study of the anatomy of the human body is forbidden as [the realm of God], how can it be thought that microorganisms are the masters of the world?
For example, if artificially bred Yersinia pestis suddenly appears......
Hundreds of rat fleas are simply dropped on the cultivated germs, and then the rat fleas are dropped into the dark, damp sewers of the ubiquitous rats, and these subjects will run to any corner of the city in order to survive.
Who would have thought that a flea on a mouse could rely on the spread of blood to transmit nightmares geometrically?
In other words, if you don't provide streptomycin as an antibody, you can spread more widely than the Eurasian continent at any time, and the corpses of the creatures that cause death are enough to pile up into a nightmare of mountains-
A world-by-world version of the Black Death.
