"Let me see your magic spear 05. After the Knights of Hell pledge meeting, Andrew called Feige to his side.

The camp of the Knights of Hell is within the confines of Shaki's Manor, and Tron takes them to meet with the teachers of the magic school and the Ice Peak Fortress to begin the closed study of the basics of magic. Fitch takes the king and queen to the manor's mansion, knowing that Andrew must be interested in this new invention of the magic gun. Xia Ni accompanied Queen Carol to meet with the Fuzang Female Clan, which was also the official welcome of the royal family members of the United Kingdom of Hoya to the Goddess family.

"This is where the spell is fired, here's the firing trap - you can think of it as a crossbow, aiming in a similar way. Yes, it's bigger, it needs to be against your shoulder, and it's where you can supply mana to it. ”

"Can the paladin's spellcasting ability be used to fire?" Andrew asked.

"You can try. Feige opened the window, and it was the mountain behind Shadge's manor, "There's no one there, I can assure you." ”

"I just want a straight answer, not a try. Andrew put down the magic gun, pointed Feige with his finger, and said with a smile: "Since you were a child, you have a weakness: when you want to hide the facts, you will not answer questions directly, but send me to do this and that, distracting me. I would now like to hear from you the real and comprehensive situation. Close that window. ”

Feige closed the window, a smug expression on his face. "Tell me the truth, right? The magic spear in your hand can only be fired with magical mana, so there is no way for paladins, clerics, and any other spellcasters to fire. However, give me some time, and I can transform the magic guns that the priest and monster hunter can use. As for the paladin's, I'm not sure, because I don't understand the paladin's spellcasting methods and mana characteristics. If I continue, I don't think mana is needed at all, and it is possible that any magic spear that can be fired by ordinary people can be created. ”

After listening to this, Andrew tapped the magic gun 05 with his fingers, the rhythm was slow and heavy. "So this thing can really turn us all into garbage?"

"No, it won't. Feige gave Andrew an answer that he didn't expect. "What I say on the school floor is to boost morale and attract their attention, how can a weapon turn someone into garbage? You can never underestimate the human ability to learn and progress, it's an instinct etched in the soul, and I just give it an opportunity at best. ”

"Tell me about it. Andrew came up with the trick he used in the Imperial Court meetings: as long as there is a problem that he does not understand very well, then he does not rush to make a decision, but asks people to explain more until they understand the stakes.

"Human beings, in fact, are very fragile, and the weapons of murder have long exceeded the bearing power of the human body. You don't need a battering ram to kill someone, you just need a quill to hit the vital spot, right?" Feige said, "This weapon will change the balance of the battlefield, and whoever masters it will have the upper hand, I don't deny that." But there is another thing in everything that restrains it. The devil has angels watching, and criminals are executed by the king. ”

Feige raised his left hand, clenched it and opened it again, and a bright yellow translucent force field shield appeared on the back of his hand, forming a circular shield from the tip of his finger to the elbow. "This is the anti-mana knife, the spell of the high priestess Liz of the Tibetan tribe, which I transformed with magic technology and is now made into a shield. The attack of the magic gun 05 will be basically blocked if it hits it, and it would be good to have one percent of the power left, at least a single shot will definitely not hurt anyone. Any spell has a counter, and this was true of the greasy spells and the tracking of the MONOCULUS in the past, and the same is true of the magic spear. Anything in this world can be garbage, but people with souls never will. ”

Andrew looked at the protective shield on Feiqi's arm and nodded, "Yes, according to your past habits, you will have a countermeasure ready - just this time don't write about the banner and swagger around, right?"

"Of course not. Feige smiled and waved his hand: "The magic gun and the bulletproof shield are the top secrets of the United Kingdom, especially the latter. I don't even want a third person to know about it except for you, and I suggest you don't say it either. I'll turn this spell into a circle, and then make it into an amulet or use it to strengthen the armor, and prepare it for the important people first. In the event that the magic gun is in the hands of the enemy, it can also provide immediate protection. ”

"Well, that's a safe idea. Andrew said: "This weapon is far more powerful than the crossbow, and if it is used to carry out assassination, it is estimated that no one will survive." Feige, if that happens, will you be spared?"

"If someone assassinates me with a magic gun? If that person is very professional and careful, then I can't get out of it. But I ...... The spell in my body will protect me, serious injuries are possible, but certainly not death. The saints are no longer human in some way. ”

Fei Qi actually wanted to use the multiple forms of the Desire Demon to avoid death, so he temporarily lost one form at most after a round of shots. Next, he'll get out of the predicament in his other forms, guaranteeing that he won't really die, and he can even fight back and kill enemies. But he certainly couldn't say anything about lust in front of the Paladin King, so he could only explain it on the grounds of the saints.

"It's a good thing to have a brother saint. Andrew was thoughtful. The nobility in the country is still not very stable, the attitude of the church is still very tough, and the monsters brought by the blood-colored meteor are a threat that cannot be ignored. In this case, a king of human flesh and blood is too vulnerable. Due to his busy schedule, Andrew couldn't spare time to study magic, and he had heard that there was still some conflict between magic and the paladin's beliefs, which prevented him from continuing to strengthen himself. Andrew has always lived in an environment surrounded by a sense of crisis, but the paladin's training and self-confidence allowed him to deal with it quietly and step by step.

"Can the magic spear pose a threat to the monsters of the Scarlet Meteor Night?"

Feige nodded, then shook his head, "With the exception of the Terrasqui Behemoth, the magic spear should be able to threaten the remaining monsters - but this will require a lot of training from the Hell Knights, even more than the Monster Hunters." If Terrasquier shows up, Hydes' warning and the support of the Blazing Celestial Attendant may be our only hope. Don't look at me, I guess it's in vain. ”

"I certainly don't mean to make you sacrifice yourself. Andrew patted his leg, "I'm wondering if to build a new alarm bell in Tawu Harbor City, so that Hydes' warning can be known by more people and give everyone time to escape." ”

"Do you need to hesitate about this? You can say a word, and then let the construction consultant, Viscount Kongscaife, take care of it. ”

"Oh, I forgot you didn't know yet. Baron Goudet discovered Viscount Kongskaf while inspecting the money for the construction of the palace, and he had been enriching himself. I don't have a construction consultant anymore. ”

Feige understood that Andrew was using the alarm bell to bring up the topic of Viscount Kongscaf - when did he master this ability, and did he learn from the experience of the nobles he received on a daily basis?

"How is this possible without a construction consultant. "You ask Baron Goode to put together the questions," said Feich, "and then call Conscaff and Count Matt." The affairs of the kingdom are judged by the law first, and you, the king, only need to supervise it. Count Matt was in charge of the law, and the evidence was given to him, so that he could hear the matter. As for Viscount Kongscaif, on the one hand, give him a chance to defend himself, and on the other hand, justifiably suspend him from his position, and ask him to find a few temporary custodians of suitable ability, and you choose one, don't you have a good reputation as a construction consultant and a fair person at the same time?"

"You always have good ideas, and it's more appropriate for you to do this king. Andrew said with a smile.

"Don't joke like that, I'm not going to be a good king, definitely not as good as you. Feige shook his head: "Let's talk about the magic gun, I need your help now." ”

It would be enough to design and improve the Magic Gun and leave it to Fitch and Kazmuk, but there are still many problems with the manufacture and storage of the Magic Gun. Although Kazmuk tried his best to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing, his own level was too high, so after "lowering", it was still not easy.

The level and number of artisans are in question, and their loyalty can only be guaranteed by the power of the king. Feiqi's idea was to follow the path of cooperation between the king and the people, and the manufacture and assembly of the most core parts could only be mastered by the king's craftsmen, and ordinary parts and standard runic products could be handed over to the craftsmen of the "workshop area" to make them.

"Without Kazmuk, it would be very tedious and time-consuming to make the magic gun, and I don't think there would be much production of this thing. Only if the level of craftsmanship is improved or a more efficient way of production is found, otherwise magic guns will always be rare. ”

Andrew said that small quantities are easy to keep, and he will send someone to guard the magic guns like they protect the king's treasury and prevent them from leaking. As for the artisans, it was an honor in itself to serve the king, and there would be a pretty good bounty, which would certainly make up the amount that Fitch needed.

"The next big thing is the Fire Elemental Gem. Feige took out a gemstone with a red shimmer from the space pouch and handed it to Andrew. "This is the Fire Elemental Gem, which contains powerful fire-based energy, and is an indispensable part of the current magic spear. Unfortunately, it's a consumable, and what's even more unfortunate is that there's basically no such thing in the Yongli Continent. ”

Andrew was holding the Fire Elemental Gem, which, in addition to being hard and crystalline, gave him a faint feeling of warmth. "How do you know that there is no Yongli Continent?"

"There is no record of the church, and judging from the distribution of the Church of the Goddess of Truth and the scale of the donations received, I can infer that the Yongli Continent is extremely lacking in this thing. Feiqi explained, "This gem is only produced in small quantities in areas where the fire element is extremely rich, and there are no similar places around the kingdom, so it can only be found from the outside." ”

"Kazmuk comes from the Fire Plane, a very dangerous world where ordinary humans are the equivalent of firewood, which can be ignited in just a few moments - but there are fire elemental gems that can be made. Feiqi said, "I have done Kazmuk and his people a favor, and I can use this as an opportunity to form a cooperation and let the fire dwarves charge the gems, and we will buy them." According to records, there is only one fire element gem that can be recharged repeatedly, and that is Haoshi, which is available in the Yongli Continent and is sold as a valuable jewelry. There are several other gems, either which cannot be used repeatedly, or the energy density is too small to fit into the magic gun, only Haoshi is the most suitable. ”

Andrew said that he understood: "If we master the Haoshi, then we can have the greatest advantage in terms of materials, right? Okay, I will pay attention to this matter, and let Goode find a way to collect more Haoshi and control the production of Haoshi as much as possible." Well...... Just because Carol likes Haoshi jewelry, I'll go back and tell her. ”

"That's great. Feiqi said: "The current fire elemental gems are enough, and the Hell Knights are enough to equip 10,000 people, so there is no need to be in a hurry, you can think about it slowly - the main thing is not to put pressure on the treasury." I'll find the right time to talk to the fire dwarves, and if I can do that, I'll give you accurate information. ”

At this moment, the sound of running came from outside the window, and the Knights of Hell began their first day of training. The training is simple, follow Monster Hunter's homework, running is the first priority. In Feige's theory, the future Knights of Hell primarily use teleportation as a means of maneuver, with horseback riding only supplementing. Since horses are too frightened to fight in the face of behemoths, and training fearless mounts is more than worth the cost, the only trustworthy way to move is the human legs. Monster Hunter never trains to ride for this reason.

After the confidential matter was discussed, Andrew and Feige went to the balcony of the mansion to look out over the school grounds of the Knights of Hell. The long-distance run is underway, and the teams that have not run in are running a little chaotically, and some of the fast ones have already circled around to catch up with the tail of the team. "The lap was about 500 meters and today they only ran 10 laps. Feiqi pointed to the middle of the field and said, "I asked the people from the magic school to stand in a fixed position, and took white chalk handprints on the clothes of everyone who came over, and collected ten handprints to finish the run." You see, they love the work. ”

The students were happy, giggling and stamping on those who passed by, but the people of the Knights of Hell cried bitterly. This group of students is very cunning, all of them stand in the outer circle, and if they want to be put on their mudras, they have to take a detour, which greatly increases their burden. In their opinion, the only good thing about the whole thing is to be able to observe the students of the Tibetan female tribe up close, although they are too tall, but they are not picky about their appearance and body curves.

"I'll do statistics here, and those who don't pass and haven't improved for a while will be eliminated. But I'm not going to let them go, after all, I've been here for a long time and want to join the Knights. Feige pointed to the manor, "The guards of the magic school, the security guards of the workshop, these jobs are assigned to them. And once they feel that they are physically up to the mark, they can immediately return to the Knights of Hell without waiting for the next recruitment. ”

"Do you run the Knights of Hell like a school?" Andrew was a little surprised.

"I've only run a school, and I'm not skilled in the rest. And only when students graduate and become teachers can they have the ability to teach more preparatory knights, so recruiting people can only follow the progress of the school. Fei Qi finally said, "Andrew, you ask Pierce to choose a few of the King's Guards who are very good at learning and absolutely loyal, and I will teach them how to use the magic spear." It's better to have a mana base, but don't be a paladin, I don't have time to study the paladin gun right now. ”

"That's exactly what I want. But what are you going to do next?"

"It's still about gemstones. Feiqi sighed: "I hope everything goes well." ”
