Chapter 5: Rotating Pistols
After Lison and Lin Yuetong explained the relevant matters and withdrew, Du Yueming was put to rest.
Nothing was said all night. Following.
After getting up, Du Yueming found an extra letter on the wooden bedside table. The envelope is written in the universal language of the Divine Calendar, with a few beautiful large characters in large flowers-"Admission Notice", the envelope is pure white, with an olive branch decoration and a gold leaf seal, which is quite exquisite.
In this world, generally speaking, only nobles have the ability to enter the academy to study and cultivate, so this high-level notice is not difficult to understand.
"It's really fast. Du Yueming touched his chin and muttered, opening the envelope as he spoke.
There are two sheets of paper, and both are of a good texture.
The first one begins with the words "Dear Du Yueming......" etc., etc., which is a standard and polite admission notification letter. Du Yueming didn't bother to look at it, and the second one was his identity information. It is written that he is a noble family in a small southern town. It's not an orphan, it's not a mysterious heir to black gold, it's an innocent identity.
It seems that Reein has arranged everything quite well, and this efficient and precise way of doing things makes people very comfortable.
The other two family members told themselves to keep a low profile before leaving. He understands the reason, it's too conspicuous, and it's not good to find it for the Silver Wing forces in the shadows...... Before you have a certain strength, you must hold on, which Du Yueming kept in mind in his heart.
Retracting his thoughts, Du Yueming went downstairs to eat breakfast.
Whole wheat toast, butter, fried eggs, smoked sausages, and a large glass of milk.
Breakfast was simple and nutritious, and the days of nibbling on brown bread and drinking wild vegetable soup are gone.
Du Yueming enjoyed eating very much, and while eating, he suddenly remembered a person. That is Fang Delin, who shared the joys and sorrows with him before.
Speaking of Fang Delin, the reason why Du Yueming was his roommate stemmed from one day two years ago, when Du Yueming had just escaped from the orphanage in the town, and he was penniless in the lower city of Yangxi City, living in a fixed place, and Fang Delin took him in in a rotten airship.
Du Yueming was still full of gratitude to Fang Delin in his heart, and regarded him as a brother, but he once felt that that guy's brain was not very good, and he thought about tinkering with machinery all day long, instead of thinking about how to fill his stomach, and he was sloppy.
It's no wonder that when I fill my stomach, I think of him inexplicably, it's a starving ghost. Du Yue said in his heart.
After breakfast, Du Yueming dressed neatly and hired a carriage to pick up Fang Delin. After forcing the guy to take a good shower, Du Yueming threw him a good outfit, and then grabbed him with a confused face and came to a nice restaurant on Lixi Street.
In a private room.
The hungry Fang Delin couldn't care about anything else, just like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, feasting on it. Du Yueming slowly cut off a slice of ham, served it with cheese, and slowly fed it to his mouth.
"I thought you could survive without eating and relying on those mechanical parts. No, you haven't eaten in the past two days since I'm gone, right?" Du Yueming said. After all, since he met Fang Delin, Du Yueming has always been in charge of food. The black bread stored in the rotten airship in the past two days seems to be gone.
"I ...... Man is iron...... Rice is steel...... The truth...... Or ......"
"Alright, alright, don't choke. Du Yueming waved his hand.
After the storm passed, Fang Delin touched his stomach and asked, "I said Xiao Du, where have you been in the past two days?"
"I robbed a rich and unlucky guy, and I happened to be favored by Lady Luck again when I went to gamble. Du Yueming replied with a clichΓ© that he had thought of a long time ago. It is definitely impossible to confess, not that he doesn't trust Fang Delin, after all, Reeson has just explained that he wants to keep a low profile, and if he knows too much, it may not be a good thing for Fang Delin.
Du Yueming's answer was actually quite, but it was enough to fool Fang Delin, after all, in addition to being very careful in mechanics, this guy is a tendon in daily life, the kind that others say he believes or something.
"I'll show you something. Fang Delin said, he actually took out a revolver from his body, he handed it to Du Yueming, and added, "I made it myself, you can take a look." β
Du Yueming took the rotary pistol, this pistol is larger than the pistol in the general sense, but the texture is very light, the shape is a strong punk style, the body of the gun is not flat, the brass color is metallic, full of eclectic exaggerated decoration, the gear and carved decoration make the gun look very complicated, and the curved ram adds a bit of texture.
"It's light, it's a light alloy that I used, and I've been rummaging through the garbage heap for a long time. Of course, it would be better if there was the legendary wind metal, but who would throw such a precious metal in the garbage?" Fang Delin explained to himself.
"You made it yourself? But then again, how does this thing compare to that kind of magic gun made by an alchemist?" Du Yueming nodded slightly, carefully observing the rotating pistol in his hand, a little surprised.
"Honestly...... How powerful it is, I don't know. However, according to theoretical estimates, it should be above the ordinary musket, and below the real magic gun. I have neither cultivated Dou Qi nor Magic, so I can't test it, so you can try your power when you go back. β
"According to what you mean, that means that this gun still needs energy to drive, but it is not as powerful as a real magic gun, so it should be called a half-magic gun. Du Yueming captured the key in Fang Delin's words and said.
"I can understand it that way. In fact, it is not so much that I built this rotary pistol, but rather that providence guided me to build it. You know, I don't know magic, I'm not a formal alchemist, and there's no way to inscribe the core of the magic gun as an alchemy circuit to drive. But guess what I found in the scrapyard in Downtown? Half a magic flint, the size of a fingernail, and a lot of energy. So I used this flint as the core, according to the introductory drawings in "Mechanical Improvement", carried out mathematical calculations, and finally combined with mechanical clockwork and power gears to create the key to this rotary pistol - the running core. Fang Delin pushed his round glasses to the right color, looking a little crazy.
Fang Delin's words used a lot of professional terms, and Du Yueming didn't understand them very well. However, listening to the guy with an excited expression, a picture seemed to emerge in front of Du Yueming's eyes, hand-drawn design drawings, mathematical operations written all over scratch paper, and alloy and mechanical hammering, and the dark blue energy light erupted from the magic stones in the room, Fang Delin sat at the table and studied these all night, and the glasses reflected the light.
"Then you're called a half-magic gun. If you can make something like this, maybe you'll be able to qualify as an alchemist by now. It seems that all these years of machinery have not been in vain. Du Yueming blew it directly here. In fact, it should be blown that it is not easy to make such a weapon under the rudimentary conditions of the lower city.
"If I could learn more about mechanics and have better materials, I'm sure I'd be able to make a real magic gun. Fang Delin sighed.
"My dear friend, believe me that you will definitely have the opportunity to learn more deeply about the mechanics, and you will become a true alchemist. How about the Babylon Academy?" Du Yueming and Fang Delin chatted freely, and suddenly made up their minds in their hearts.
"Fabilon Academy, that's the best academy in Yangxi City, and the annual tuition fee alone costs 100 gold coins. β
"Believe me, friend, yes, I'm not what I used to be. Du Yueming said slowly. He is indeed different now than before, Fang Delin is his first friend in this world, and it is worth doing something for him.
Du Yueming got up and opened a bottle of high-quality red wine, and poured an attractively colored liquid into the glass in front of the two. He continued: "Let's have a drink, my friend, and in the future we will stand on a high place and enjoy the scenery from a higher place, and we will take a long-term view. β
Men like to brag when they get together to eat and drink, and even the most humble people will feel that they have the world in mind. What's more, now Du Yueming's fate has really changed, so it seems to be a ...... to brag about it Deserved.
"Is there really a chance like that? Alchemist, that's my ...... Dream. Fang Delin also stood up, he raised his red wine glass and muttered. His expression slowly became firm, as if he was infected by Du Yueming.
"There will definitely be. Cheers to our friendship and ideals. Du Yueming smiled and affirmed.
Two well-dressed teenagers gently touched their glasses, the glass made a crisp sound, and then the red wine in the glass slowly entered his throat.
Fate is always hidden and great, and the teenagers don't know that the crispness of this clinking glasses is actually the heel of an era.
"I have figured it out, I will definitely become a true alchemist, and my most outstanding work will be yours at that time. β
"Good brother, ambitious. β
"At that time, you will surely be able to grab more money in the alley behind the stinky leather tavern with the great work I have built. β
"I'll go to your uncle's. Du Yueming listened to Fang Delin's words and almost fell on the spot.
