After the two clinked glasses to each other and drank them all, Roy shook his head: "He's a very smart guy who knows how to make trade-offs. ”

"Well, I'm afraid you'll fall in love with other people's looks. Carey quipped casually.

"Ahem, ahem, what?" Roy quickly pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the red wine that spewed out.

"Nothing, I'm curious how you got the gunpowder?"

"As soon as I heard your description, I thought of the merchants in the city who made fireworks, and then I found the people who made them, and guess what they made them from?"

"Saltpeter, charcoal and brimstone. ”

Roy shook his head: "They use feces, I don't know exactly how to do it, but it's ......"

He couldn't help but cover his nose when he said this, and added: "If you go in, you won't want to go in a second time." ”

Carey suddenly remembered that when he lured the water monster, he was also almost stunned by the stench, and quite agreed: "Indeed, I hope I will never encounter another water monster in the future." ”

In the past, he only knew the general formula of gunpowder, but who cared about what it was made of.

"However, their production is very low, and even daily practice is a little insufficient, and I have already found someone to build a few more of these nitrate workshops. ”

"Remember to stay away from the city-state, and ban open fires. ”

"But you've made ......"

"Semi-automatic high-pressure pneumatic alchemy shooting rifle, referred to as high-pressure air gun. ”

"The airsoft you modified is very practical, just like Ben said, the musket can fill the gap when the airsoft gun is reloaded. ”

Roy paused and said, "You came up with these words?"

Carey touched his nose: "Alchemy is a very advanced science, and when I often wander away from that world, I can see some very interesting pictures, as if I have drifted to other worlds, which is very magical." ”

"Anyway, apart from Kars's people, there aren't many people who know alchemy, so it's all over the place. 」

Carey's face was intoxicated and extremely yearning, just like an old archaeological scholar who saw an antiquity that was only recorded in a book.

"It's a pity, Kars's alchemy is so magical, but it can't be popularized, I heard that the church in Dawning City has issued another conscription order, planning to attack Kars as soon as the Black Tide passes. ”

"Kuroshio?Kars......" Carey was slightly stunned, and the information about Kuroshio was reflected again in his dusty memory.

In this world infested with the Lost, a Kuroshio occurs every six months, when the sky is filled with black ash that obscures the light of the sun, and the Lost seem to have been summoned by darkness to make endless migrations from west to east.

Legend has it that on the east side of Kars there is an endless abyss, a place of pilgrimage for all things dark, and Kars is the apocryle of the abyss.

Of course, this legend was propagated by the church, and its credibility is yet to be verified.

As a rule of thumb, the Kuroshio Wave generally lasts for more than a month.

"Wait, how long is the next Kuroshio until now?" Carey suddenly looked a little unpleasant, how could he not pay attention to such an important matter.

"Two and a half months, this inquiry meeting will also discuss the arrangements for each village after entering Yongguang City," Roy stretched his body: "Originally, I was still thinking about the food and venue arrangements, but now with the help of Elisian, some problems have been solved." ”

Carey was silent for a while, then got up to say goodbye, it was getting late, and Belle was left alone in the tavern, and the night's business was afraid that she would not be able to take care of it.

......

Business tonight was obviously much better than usual, and in addition to some regular customers, there were also many unfamiliar faces.

Seeing that Carey was finally back, Belle let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Brother Carey, why have you been out for a day lately? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll be back early next time. Carey took a look at the bustling tavern and began to entertain the impatient guests who were waiting.

"I say, Mr. Hilter, your wine here is not bad, but it's a little missing, just drink......" Sylvie shook her head and expressed her thoughts: "Better get some ......"

She rubbed her fingers together and looked at Carey.

"Money?" Carey was stunned, and Yizheng refused: "We operate legally, and we don't mess up." ”

"Entertainment, do you understand entertainment?" Sylvie sighed and said, "I started from Norman, went to the Star Spirit, and came to Yongguang, I like it more here, the lord is not xenophobic, and the neighbors are easy to get along with." But it's a lot less entertainment. ”

"Yes, yes, I agree very much with what this young lady said, it just so happens that I have a deck of cards brought from the royal city of Yar, the game is very simple, can the young lady come over and play it? A man in a woolen shirt and a felt hat, about twenty years old, leaned over and said in agreement.

After saying that, he hiccuped and laughed embarrassedly.

"Who is this? Is it so natural?"

"You know?"

Sylvie shook her head, then waved her hand, "Yes, try it." ”

Carey shook his head helplessly, but he didn't come up to take a look, he didn't have time to take care of the business.

Soon, a corner of the tavern was filled with people asking where the card was sold.

The man slowly took out a few similar pieces in his backpack and said, "I happened to have some with me, these are what I got from a nobleman in the royal city of Yar, even in the royal city are very precious, let's sell a pair of gold coins now." ”

Seeing that everyone was a little hesitant about this price, he hurriedly took out a few cards to display: hand-made paintings, which can be used as works of art or entertainment with friends, and each deck of cards is from the hands of Wang Cheng painters, and the number is limited!

As one person hesitated to pay a gold coin and take a pair, some people began to pay for it intermittently, and the merchant suddenly shouted: "There are still four pairs left, and they will be gone after they are sold!"

Carey took a deep breath, really trying to get the guy out of the way, but the merchant also seemed to know that he couldn't go too far, and shouted twice intentionally or unconsciously while fighting Sylvie to attract popularity.

It didn't take long for the merchant to announce that everything was sold out!

One gold coin buys a deck of cards for entertainment, does Carey really not know that the people of Eternal Light City are so rich?

Even if he drinks and vomits here, it is only five silver coins at most, and more often, the per capita consumption is only fifty copper, and some people are too expensive.

Carey looked at it for a while and understood the gameplay, a handful only takes a few minutes, very fast, but it is very necessary to play against the layout of the opponent's cards on both sides, which is a test of intelligence and luck.

In the end, Sylvie felt a little dizzy after losing a few handfuls in a row, so she stopped coming.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I've invited you for this meal tonight, and this deck of cards is a gift from me to Miss, and I hope you can accept it." My name is Alex Eddy, and I hope to get the chance to play against you next time. ”

Alex had a smile on his face that could not be concealed, and after a polite bow, he took his leave, without further invitation.

Sylvi looked at the cards in her hand, didn't refuse, and put them in her pocket.

Carey saw that she was drinking a little unsteadily, so she stayed in the back anyway, said hello to Belle, and helped Sylvie back.
