Chapter 293 Creating an advantage
The Earl was so angry with Feiqi that he made a list and then went to eliminate it, did this still have a bit of aristocratic demeanor? The Earl's family was not an assassin organization, let alone an executioner, how could such a thing as killing people according to the list be said!
"If you are really allowed to do this, it will break the rules of the game among the nobles, and all the nobles will unite against our Hall family. Even if they win a momentary victory, the family that is full of enemies will not be able to continue at all!"
Well, there was some truth in what Earl Hall said, and for the sake of his annoyance, Feige didn't refute it. He listened absentmindedly as the Count explained to the two men the situation in the country, and what thoughts, demands, friends, and enemies each of the nobles and lords had. The story was lively and interesting, but Feige didn't think it was very useful. Under the crushing of absolute power and technology, it is not clear whether the aristocratic class can continue to exist, and these interests will only be swept into the dustbin of history.
It has always been the mother who saves the child. The Countess herself sent the three men of the family to dinner, so that Fitch and Andrew no longer had to endure the Earl's lessons. In the queen's big belly, the third generation of the Hall family is about to move, so the earl will not say anything about the intrigue between the nobles at this time, at most a few historical stories of the heroic battles of the paladins. Sure enough, it's prenatal education, which is understandable.
"If your grandfather hadn't died on Feinberg's battlefield, he would have seen his baby born now. Earl Hall seemed to swallow some of the words, and simply said, "If it's a boy, let him use his great-grandfather's name, Marlo Hall II." β
Count Marlowe Hall was killed in a battle in which he had a very obvious disadvantage, but it is rumored that the failure of Archduke Aria to send troops to the rescue in time was the main reason for the disadvantage. Whether this rumor is true or not, the long-term battlefield between the Duchy of Aria and Feinberg was the trigger for everything. The young Earl of Hall took over the burden of the head of the family early on, running it step by step, until now Aria has disappeared and the king's surname has become Hall.
"Father, I think that's a good idea. Queen Carroll nodded, then touched her belly and whispered, "You have a name, little darling." β
"I'm not sure if it's a man or a woman. "Andrew has always been so upright. He asked Feige, "Does your magic have a way of knowing the gender in advance?"
Feige almost choked, and he adjusted his state before saying, "I don't have any research on this, in my opinion, as long as the child is healthy." And it's the safest way for your child to grow up naturally, so it's best not to interfere with it with magic. But whether it's a man or a woman, it's best to learn magic, and I'll teach it myself. Magic is the way to go. β
The Countess was not quite convinced of this, and the Count was thoughtful. None of them had seen Feige fight with magic, so they couldn't fully understand it yet. Andrew and Carroll know that Feige is strong, but they think that it is Feige who is strong and has little to do with magic. It's like using a sword in the same way, and people who are good at swordsmanship will be more powerful, and that is mainly human ability.
The true power of magic is not fully realized until it can be applied on a large scale. Feige believed in this from the beginning, so he never cherished himself with a broomstick, but taught as many students as he could so that more people could know and apply magic. There's nothing more convincing than examples, and the ones Feige has prepared are his students and the Knights of Hell.
In his vision, as long as the students of the magic school and the Knights of Magical Hell grow up, then they will completely change the power system of the Yongli Continent, and use subversive advantages to make all opposing forces useless. But how do you get them to grow?
It is impossible to expect every student and knight to have the physical condition of Feiqi, and it is unlikely that they will surpass Feiqi in terms of learning magic and rune circles - Thunder White may still have a chance. Feige knows that his path cannot be replicated, and he must come up with a new path for the human body, the students of human thinking abilities, and the Knight of Hell.
"Kazmuk, are you still comfortable living here? You don't feel cold, do you?"
The Fire Dwarves followed Feige from Hell to Port Tawu, and what he saw and heard filled his mind with doubts. He looked around carefully and saw a peaceful world with the goddess of goodness and justice as a single god, and there was no trace of corruption and depravity by the devil. It is true that the human beings here sometimes have corrupted and depraved actions, but the entire universe of human beings may be like this. And the most important point is that the evil here has nothing to do with Feige, he is even called a "saint".
I've lived for so long, not to mention I've seen such a weird thing, I've never even heard of it. The stories of the devil in hell are like sand on the beach, but none of them are innocent. If a devil has the skin and identity of the king's younger brother, this king will inevitably become the devil's puppet, and all the people will become the devil's food.
But this devil named Feige was running schools, building roads, planting potatoesβhe must be crazy.
Kazmuk was a little worried, but he didn't dare to show it. Devils generally don't go crazy, and the order-abiding nature of hell can prevent them from going mad. But if a devil is really insane, it is definitely one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. Despite knowing that Fitch was different, now the Fire Dwarves only hope that he is not "crazy from the other".
"What are you doing in a daze, is this a difficult question to answer? I'm just asking how you've been doing......" Fitch poked Kazmuk with his finger, and the fire dwarf snapped back to his senses.
"Luckily, there's enough fuel here, and I've got the workshop in place. Although the tool does not have a ground...... It's good underground, but it certainly doesn't delay work β and I mean whatever work you give me. β
"Don't be so full of words, what I want you to do may not be able to be done in this environment. β
Nestled on the hill, the Cottage Manor is surrounded by lush forests, and a stream formed by a mountain spring passes through the west side of the main building and joins the Baishui River below. It is a good place to live and rest, but it has never been suitable for setting up a workshop. The road leading to the bottom of the mountain is in disrepair, the mountain spring stream is slow and insufficient, and the trees on the mountain cannot really be cut down for firewood. It's very out of place to set up a workshop from here.
But Kazmuk's workshop was not only built, but it was also earlier and more important than the Shaqi estate. Feige used the Hell Runes to design an anti-eavesdropping and anti-intrusion circle for Kazmuk, and will create some instrumental magic depending on the specific work content, but now the two of them can talk freely here, and they are not afraid to leak out.
"Here's the blueprint I got from the siege weapons camp, and your task is to copy it and improve it. Fitch unfolded a drawing in front of the fire dwarf. "I found it during the inspection and it hasn't been silent. It's ......"
"It's a musket, I know the drawing. Lo and behold, there is also a secret note I left behind, indicating that it is the original. Kazmukmo held the fireproof parchment as if he were patting an old friend on the back. The fire dwarf glanced at every line on the drawing before he said to Feige, "This is a failed design, and there is no need to copy it. Although its structure is very delicate, it is too weak to meet the requirements of the design. β
"Why? Is there anything wrong with the explosive force of the alchemy potion propelling the projectile to fly and cause damage?"
"Not so strong alchemy explosives. The fire dwarf said, "The owner of this drawing came to Hell and wanted to exchange this 'invention' for some money to change the fate of his slaves. I've seen him draw, and he's a great learner, and he's quickly mastered the basics of alchemy. This picture looked like that, so the camp director at the time, the devil, told him to do the experiment. I was in charge of making the musket, and he offered to configure the alchemical potion inside. β
"The devil gave thirty days, and he kept experimenting, but he was always emaciated. It's not my business if this thing fails, but if it does, I'll take credit for it, so I'm going to check on him. He said he had tried it a thousand times, but he couldn't replicate the power of the weapon in his world. β
"I was a little curious, so I tried to help him. He showed me more than a dozen recipes for gunpowder, smokeless gunpowder, etc., and each time it produced brilliant flames, but he said that these things should explode, not burn. Kazmuk sighed, and a beam of orange flame erupted from his mouth and flew into the air. "I said something to him at the time that made him completely disheartened. In the end, he was whipped for failing to complete his mission, and it took twenty years before he was whipped to death, and then thrown into the den of maggots and turned into a bad demon. I hid it and got away with it. β
"What did you say to him?" Feige asked curiously.
"I told him: only the fireball will explode. β
Seven words, Feige understood. Muskets are one good thing, magic is another, and one or the other may be the only one. The same recipe may produce different results in different worlds, because the world is tendentious.
Through alchemy, Feige can concoct potions that make people breathe underwater, but chemistry cannot. Alchemy, in turn, has things that it can't do on its own. Feige looked at the drawings he had always treasured and regarded as treasures, and suddenly felt a little silly. Since there is magic in this world, and it is still so strong, is it necessary to take a long detour to make a musket?
"Since you've tried this and can't do it, then execute plan two. Feige pulled out a second drawing, which was obviously much newer and more familiar to Kazmuk. He only had to look at a corner to know that this was the blueprint of the undegraded version of the Demon Penetrating Light Killing Cannon.
"Find a way to shrink it down and turn it into a single-player weapon. The power can be relatively reduced, and the range can be reduced, but under the weight that a single person can bear, power, accuracy, and range are the three most important indicators for evaluation. β
Kazmuk looked at the Demon Light Killing Cannon and fell into deep thought, and after a while he said, "My lord, the casting process of this thing is not difficult, and the core part of it is the runes. Casting can reduce the size, but runes have a minimal size limit. If it's too small, the mana will jump between the runes, rendering any circle ineffective. Therefore, the more complex the rune array, the larger the volume will inevitably be. I'm not an expert in runes, so it's up to you whether or not this thing can be made. β
"No, it's you. "The first thing to consider is weight and volume, and then cost," Feige said. I need a normal human to be able to carry it and take aim. I'll definitely figure it out, but you'll have to style it first. β
The fire dwarf hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord, this doesn't make sense, I'm getting more and more confused. I don't even know what kind ......of runes to use."
"You don't need to know, because I don't want to limit your creative abilities. "I only have simple requirements: use it solo, aim up, and then build on that with as much area as possible," Fitch said to Kazmuk. The more usable area you give me, the more runes I can write on it. As for what to write, you are certainly inferior to me in this regard. β
"The bigger the area, the better......," Kazmuk pursed his lips and rubbed his chin vigorously with his right hand: "First determine the weight and use posture, and then ask for the area, I am beginning to understand a little." My lord, you think about the problem very differently than others. β
"Don't praise me yet, I just thought of another request. Feige patted the fire dwarf on the shoulder, "Your design should take into account the difficulty of manufacturing, and try to combine it in a way that is easy to achieve - the simpler the more stable." Don't use all kinds of twisted, hollowed-out parts, you can make them, ordinary craftsmen can't make them in large quantities. β
"I'm not going to mess with elf bells and whistles!" Kazmuk laughed as he understood what Feige meant. "But maybe the way they're thinning things will work. I stole a lot from an elf who went to hell - just before he was killed again by his own bells and whistles. β
"Yes, the delicacy of the fire dwarves, the lightness of the elves, and the simplicity and stability of the hellish devils, this weapon can at least meet the needs of equipping armies. β
Determine the appearance first and then design the core, which is the opposite of the general process. However, Kazmuk overlooked one point, that is, the rune core of the Demon Light Killing Cannon-Human Cannon-Hell Cannon is determined, which is like making a car, which already has a backbone, and the appearance can be placed in the more advanced process steps.
The honeycomb structure was ruled out, it was too difficult to process, and it was difficult for Fitch to draw runes on the inner walls of the honeycomb. The easiest way to increase the area is the structure of books and pages, but after experimentation, Feige found that when the rune energy of the pages converges into the book, it is difficult not to cause congestion, so the amount of runes that can be carried is limited. "The structure of the pages of the book needs to be there, but the honeycomb structure should not be missing. In fact, the folding structure can be made into multiple contacts to spread the pressure of the book......"
Many times, Kazmuk couldn't understand what Fitch was saying, but he knew that Fitch was an expert in runes, and his task was to be in charge of the implementation of the process. They discussed a lot, including the feasibility of pressing the rune plates and folding them, and the propagation of elemental energy on the surface...... For the first time, Kazmuk lived a life of hands-free and headache-ridden.
A strange-looking magic gun was born.
