Chapter 36: Professional Alchemist

After Murphy experimented with the original arquebus, he took it back to the castle.

The effect is very pleasant, as long as the enchanter is stronger, the more powerful the arquebus will be.

In addition, the magic spell that increases speed and strength will make the shot lead bullet more destructive.

For example, the "Order Breaker" inscription enchanted during the training ground will combine with your own weight to make your strike power increase exponentially as your speed increases, and the faster the speed, the lighter the weight, the more it will increase.

And each lead bullet weighs no more than a few grams, and after enchantment, the weight of the lead bullet itself is multiplied by its speed, and the power is enough to multiply its own damage by ten times, dozens of times.

Not to mention the fighting spirit of the second-level knight, even if you have enchanted and added a layer of defensive fighting energy, and wearing a layer of cowhide armor lining will not be able to block the attack of enchanted lead bullets.

However, usually such a good thing is very expensive to build, and the same is true for enchanted buckshot.

Murphy had estimated it when he was making the bullet.

The most common penetration magic enchanted cost two silver naso and twenty bronze naso, while the more complex magic enchanted "Order Breaker" cost a full eight silver naso.

The high price makes it impossible to mass-produce this enchanted buckshot unless it can significantly reduce the cost of enchantment.

Even if Murphy could enchant buckshot and arquebus for free, it would take a lot of time, so Murphy would need to find the only enchanter in the city to complete the enchantment.

No mage likes to spend a lot of his free time enchanting something like enchantment, and only a mage of the Order can enchant.

Unless enough money is given!

As a result, Bogan, the Enchanter, was quickly defeated by the Four Princes' ability to make money.

Now, every time the blacksmith produces a musket or a buckshot that needs to be enchanted, it is sent to Bogan's enchantment table.

Enchanted by the second-level pinnacle of the Bogan mage.

Originally, five muskets and twenty-five buckshots were enchanted every day, but it was also a pleasure.

Later, however, as more craftsmen learned how to make muskets, more than a dozen muskets and hundreds of lead bullets needed to be enchanted every day.

The heavy work also made Bogan tired, and every day after the enchantment, it was as if his body had been hollowed out, and the magic power of his whole body was exhausted, making him miserable.

After listening to Bogan's complaints, Murphy would also go to the enchantment shop to help him in his spare time, which barely ensured the efficiency of the enchantment.

"Father, in front of me is Remlos Castle, it is said that the current lord is the fourth prince of the royal family, who is vigorously changing the commoners, and is also recruiting all kinds of craftsmen and transcendentals. ”

The army of fleeing refugees came to the outside of Remlos Castle, and one of them, a young man with gray hair and blue eyes dressed in tattered fur, was talking to the old man next to him with joy on his face.

The old man's hand holding the staff shook imperceptibly, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then the two of them followed the tide of refugees and marched forward.

More than 10,000 refugees fled eastward from Katynburg, on the west side of Remlosburg, initially numbering only about 2,000.

Unexpectedly, when passing through Fort Ambition and Laiwulun Castle, the local nobles did not even let them in, but instead absorbed the local refugees, reaching the scale of more than 10,000 people, and continued to march eastward.

As temperatures get colder and this year's crop fails, many refugees are freezing to death, starving to death and dying on the side of the road.

But fortunately, we finally arrived at the Castle of Lemlos, and since the fourth prince announced that he was recruiting, he should not turn us refugees away. The old man thought to himself.

The old man's name was Kurt Rochebas, and he was originally an alchemist in Castle Ambition.

When the Thebans invaded, the farmstead outside the city was burned down, and if he had not been in the city at the time, it would have been a pile of dry bones.

Even if he was a third-level elementary mage, he couldn't defeat the general Thebes who led the attack, it was a fourth-level warrior!

After another half an hour's walk, the front team reached the city gate.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the front of the team.

"Could it be that Remloth Castle doesn't accept people either?" said Kurt Rochebas, who was startled in his heart, and silently pondered with some concern.

"Queue up, all queue, two rows, one by one, to prevent spies from getting in!" shouted a knight galloping out from the direction of the city gate, keeping order.

When the refugees saw the knight master, they hurriedly lined up, for fear that the knight master would be unhappy and kill them with a sword.

"Name. ”

"Ante. ”

"Where did you come from?"

"Cattynburg. ”

"What did you do before?"

"I used to be a farmer, and I only farmed. ”

"Go in with this sign, follow the signs to the town hall, give it to the alloter, and you'll be able to live here." ”

Kurt Rochebas was in the middle of the line, and it was their father and son who were next to take their turn.

Looking at the Knight Colin handing out wooden cards at the door and the cauldron behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the fourth prince he had never met.

If you put it in another city, even if you meet the kindest lord, you will accept some refugees at most, and no one will manage it after entering the city, so that those refugees will fend for themselves in the city.

Murphy's approach, by contrast, seemed to him to be childish, without considering whether his city could afford so many refugees and whether there was enough food to feed them.

But he didn't care about bringing up these things, going into the city to drink a bowl of hot porridge was the top priority, even if it was an extraordinary person, there were times when he was down.

"Name. ”

"Kurt Rochebas, this is my son Fritz Rochebas. ”

"Where did you come from?"

"We come from Fort Ambition. ”

"What did you do before?"

"I used to be an alchemist of Fort Ambition, a third-level mage, and I joined the refugee team due to the lack of food in Fort Ambition. ”

Kurt Rochebas took out his staff, which was still full of magic power, and proved his identity.

Knight Colin was stunned for a moment, the quill in his hand fell on the table, and then he hurriedly stood up and commanded the people around him.

"Andrew, ride a fast horse to inform His Highness, and say that a third-level alchemist has come to us!"

"Durut, you take my place, and I'll go pick up the wind for Mr. Alchemist. ”

When he had given the order, the knight stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"My name is Macedonian Colin, you can just call me Colin, and now I am a second-level peak knight. Colin smiled, "Mr. Rochebas, welcome to Remloth Castle, this will be your new home, please come with me." ”

Kurt Rochebas was not surprised by the change in Knight Collin's attitude, which in itself was a courtesy he deserved.

He smiled at Knight Colin and followed him into the city.
