Chapter Seventy-Three: Avoiding the Double-edged Sword from hurting oneself is a science

The night passed.

Add was quite tired—he had been busy all day and had to make crossbows at night;

Even though the Laplace system instilled all the skills directly into Eddie's mind, carpentry was physically demanding;

After making the second crossbow machine and crossbow arm, Add fell asleep almost as soon as his head was on the pillow.

Early the next morning.

"Master, breakfast is here, can I come in~" The sound of Orange Wind knocking on the door outside woke Eddie from his sleep;

"Quietly......" The gray wrist standing at the door quietly opened the door, "The young master was very tired last night, and he needs to rest more at this time - you can put breakfast here, and wait until the young master wakes up!"

"Ah...... Good. Orange Wind glanced inside, saw the materials in the room and Eddie, who had not yet risen, smiled apologetically, and prepared to leave;

"It doesn't matter. Add gritted his teeth and sat up—tsk, there was some soreness in his body, but it was much stronger than last night;

The thought of being lazy and taking a break was dismissed as soon as Eddie's mind came to mind—it was too unreasonable to be cruel to your subordinates but not to yourself.

"After breakfast, we went to meet Baron Fang Dun again. Eddie staggered slightly, "You two get ready, too." ”

"Understand ——!" Orange Wind nodded, and then handed the breakfast to Gray Wrist and left.

Add glanced at the crossbow he had made last night—it was leaning against a wall not far away, and the rest of the materials had been sorted out by Graywrist.

"We'll take those things with us in a moment—" Eddie gestured to the crossbow arm, crossbow machine, and one of the remaining bows he had made last night, "show the Baron how to assemble them on the spot." ”

This technique of rubbing crossbows on the spot is naturally not Eddie's own...... In fact, last night was the first time he had seen and touched such a thing as a "crossbow" with his own eyes;

The "blueprints" were naturally obtained from the Laplace system, and every time I thought of it, Eddie felt a pain in my flesh—

On the afternoon of returning from the Maple Leaf Forest, Add asked Heath to install the "Skill Analysis Module" in the system;

Expanding the system space by 10 units consumes 200 causal points;

It may have been useless for Add's previous dislike of this module, and after carefully questioning Heather in order to find a way to break the game, Add realized that this module was terrible-

The "Skill Analysis Module" can not only give "combat skills" such as swordsmanship, horsemanship, and archery;

Manual skills, mechanical skills, life skills...... These can also be engraved into themselves!

Of course, the premise is that there are enough causal points.

For example, the manufacturing technology of the "crossbow", Eddie spent a full 1,000 causal points, and if it weren't for the defeat of the exterminator and the acquisition of a large number of causal points, such an expensive thing would almost be beyond Add's ability to accept;

Just like last night's magical operation that Eddie himself was amazed by, it not only clearly engraved the production method in Eddie's mind, but also came with quite complete muscle memory!

The crossbow machine made last night has no defects at all, except for the limited durability due to the fact that the material is wood!

...... Of course, Eddie knows how dangerous a crossbow can be - it can give an untrained person accurate and lethal long-range killing ability;

Since this kind of thing has not yet spread in this world, it must be regarded as its own killer weapon, and it cannot be easily leaked - the method of making the crossbow machine needs to be kept secret, and the time for the craftsman to reverse the structure should be delayed as much as possible;

The crossbow machine and the wooden nails used to hold the internal parts were manipulated by Eddie, and the slightest mistake in disassembling them would have damaged them on the spot, and even if they were to take them apart intact, it would not be easy for them to reinstall them.

The most important thing is to make Baron Fang Dun pay enough attention to its danger and not let anyone outside his henchmen touch it.

From this point of view, the fact that it is made of wood and not durable becomes an advantage: if it breaks, there is no need to worry.

In addition to the "crossbow", Add also mastered another technique with 200 causal points - this is what he will show to Baron Fang Dun and solve the threat from the monster in the southeast;

A total of 1,600 causal points were consumed...... Fifteen hundred and fifty remaining, and although it cost a bit much, considering the effect after that...... I shouldn't lose money, Eddie thought.

"Let's go. After breakfast, Add picked up his crossbow and beckoned Grey to pick up the other materials that hadn't been assembled yet, "Go see Baron Fangdun." ”

After greeting the Orange Wind and Nightstar, who had been prepared next door, Add walked between the lords, and after taking a form and asking the guards to summon him, Add pushed open the door—

Among the lords, it was not just Fang Dun who awaited him.

Standing on the left hand side of the shield was the old butler he had seen yesterday, and a middle-aged knight in armor;

On the right-hand side were two knights, an old man and a young knight—the older one looked familiar, and when he looked closely, it was the same one that Eddie had met at the warehouse in the town's defensive line.

The atmosphere in the whole room was not very relaxed, and the old butler was better, and the eyes of the three knights were ......

It's like an old hen in a fairy tale looking at a fox with bad intentions.

"My lord, I still don't think this guy can be trusted!" said the old knight, pointing at Eddie and looking at Fang Dun, "He...... How can you be a real nobleman? You must have been deceived by his rhetoric!"

Tsk, it seems that he made a bad impression before...... Coupled with his vulgar dress and inability to provide an exact family name and genealogy, he was suspected by knights who were also of the aristocratic class...... It's not a big problem, though. Eddie thought and looked at Fang Dun;

The baron was smiling apologetically and wryly—

Yes, old knight, you're right, this person in front of you is not a nobleman at all......

The corners of Eddie's mouth rose slightly to show that he didn't care, "Lord Baron, are all the tools I asked for?"

"Of course, it's all ready, the space on this side of the castle is limited, the timber you asked for has been piled up in the playground to the southeast, and the soldiers are in place, ready for your dispatch. Fang Dun tried to keep his tone as normal as possible;

But in any case, the baron could not have done such a thing as a disrespectful title of "you" for His Majesty......

The three knights exchanged glances—the baron's attitude was really abnormal! He had never respected the viscount so much in his daily life, it was so wrong!

"Your Excellency, you can't just believe his rhetoric so easily......!

The other knight wanted to say that he was mediocre, but ......

He couldn't look at Add's face and talk nonsense.

“...... How can a decent fellow be a nobleman? How can he have a good trick? All he values is your money bag, my lord! He wants to deceive you with rhetoric!" said the knight, after a moment's pause.

Yo, yes, this knight sees it thoroughly...... Add nodded subconsciously;

Don't talk about anything else, after the deed is done, you can't get the money.
