Within a few days of Leo's visit to the hot springs to relax, the craftsman's workshop had completed the production of a full fifteen muskets, and this was still under the condition that the other party had carefully polished them to ensure accuracy.

The structure of the musket is obviously the most important thing, and Leo did not think about how to ensure accuracy without a lathe, and the exquisite work of the master of the brute hammer and his name is really admirable, and he refers to the concept of vertical drill and vice proposed by Leo to make a fixed tapping tool.

The success rate of the attack pattern has directly reached more than seventy, which can be said to be quite a remarkable data under this condition, and the excitation part directly saves a large number of parts because of the existence of fire crystals, and Leo and the hammer directly changed the ammunition to a rear-loading type after discussion, similar to the shotgun of later generations, which greatly improves the efficiency of reloading.

If such a weapon was equipped with a full escort group, Leo dared to guarantee that the beast tide of that level last time would definitely be able to crush it easily.

On the snowfield in the direction of Blackstone Town, Leo and Brute Hammer each raised a musket, and when the trigger was pulled, the fire crystals were pressed, igniting the gunpowder, accompanied by green smoke and sounds, a small hole appeared in the snow a hundred meters away.

After the hammer shot was completed, he returned to his position too quickly, his beard was burned by the muzzle, he scratched his beard, which exuded a burnt smell, and his beard was a little tangled, looking at Leo, but he didn't expect the other party to have such an expression.

"You think so, too?"

"Almost"

Bound with the momentum, the power seems to have been discounted, but in general it is successful, I'm afraid that the combination position of the rear loading type does not look too large, and there is still some airflow loss on the upper mouth when it is excited, and the current process is powerless, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the use efficiency.

"Let's continue the experiment, there is still room for improvement anyway, how about a celebration banquet tonight?"

"How dare you not go to the city lord's banquet, hahahaha"

Leo could only smile, and he didn't know who was the one who caused the strike in the first place, but touching the cold barrel of the gun, Leo felt confident in this world for the first time.

……..

Gall reported on the financial expenses, and Leo was in a daze, why did he feel so poor lately?

A musket is a fire crystal, and now the fire crystal reserves in Drifting Snow City are a little insufficient, and it seems that their own mine does not produce fire crystals? At least not so far.

Leo held his chin and pondered that he wanted to go to Blackstone Town again, the hot spring eggs there were superb, but unfortunately Yin hadn't eaten them at the time, and he felt a little empty in his heart when he thought about it.

"Teacher, the above is the recent report, and Blackstone Town reported that the fire crystal vein was discovered."

"Uh-huh???"

Dozing off and sending pillows? The characteristics of your own protagonist are finally revealed? What can you finally ask for?

"Uh....it's just a defective vein, and it can't even be ranked."

Egger wiped the cold sweat and knew that something was wrong when he watched the teacher's expression change quickly.

"Egger-san...... Didn't the teacher teach you important things to say in the front?"

"Ahaha..... I suddenly remembered that the town of Songmu asked me to go right away, and I went first, teacher!"

Egger ran out quickly, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

Leo shook his head, the money to buy fire crystals can't be saved, the inferior fire crystals can't be divided too much, otherwise they will lose their effectiveness, at least they need to be big fists to maintain stability, and they can't be retracted and released freely after they are excited, and it will intermittently release flame pulses that are somewhat dangerous.

Wait..... intermittent release pulses?

…….

"The old man is not here! Get up! ”

Last night, the celebration banquet for the success of the musket trial was half a night, and Leo gave the craftsman a two-day vacation today, which will make the old man still asleep.

The knocking sound on the door had no intention of stopping, and the people who knocked hurt in their brains.

"Who, old man, I'm old, can't disturb my sleep, do you know?"

"Hey, hey, do you remember what I told you about the steam engine?"

"What should I do, didn't you say that now the technology is insufficient to make a single cylinder and the power is poor?"

"That's what it was..... hehehehe, look what this is"

Leo mysteriously took out a large box from his bag, which contained a fist-sized fire crystal.

"What the hell, isn't it just a second-class fire crystal, you take this thing away, don't activate it"

“…….”

"Wait, do you want to tell me?"

Leo patted the box, looking proud, and actually found a breakthrough in a place that he didn't expect at all

"That's it, what's the matter, there's a head!"

"There are heads, there are heads, and you don't shoot, shoot again"

“….”

…..

The reconstruction of Songmu Town has entered the final stage, the new houses are solid, non-flammable, the key is the beautiful shape, and the infrastructure construction office has received more than a dozen commissions for the construction of houses by wealthy merchants, slightly making up for some of the losses caused by the damage to the houses in Songmu Town and the animal tide.

Looking at the current pine town, all the clay brick houses, no matter what, as long as the shape is unified and neat, it will reveal an inexplicable beauty, the brick houses on both sides are lined up, and the water spring in the middle is still under construction, at first glance, it finally has a bit of a medieval RPG town feeling.

Next, Leo planned to build a low city wall, which would enclose the original gate in an arc, imitating the ancient urn city, which could be used as a temporary garrison for foreign enemies and merchants.

As for the farther towns, there are still not so many resources and manpower to take care of for the time being, so they can only repair the collapsed houses first, distribute the newly developed signal fireworks to the garrison team, and finally achieve three different colors to cope with different dangers by adding different ingredients.

In the future, it is good to plan to expand the scale of the main city of Drifting Snow and accept other towns as well, but unfortunately now Leo only dares to think that the treasury, which is always struggling on the line of life and death, will not allow him to do this.

"A penny is hard to beat a hero? It's a pity that I don't want a penny now."

…….

The serpent carefully wiped the dagger in his hand, his wooden feelings, he used this poisoned dagger to take the lives of a full 99 people, and today it is the 100th, a commemorative prey, Leoclough, the lord of Drifting Snow City.

He had been observing for many days and finally got Rioclave to inspect Pinewood, and he didn't bring his two skilled escorts, which was a godsend.

He is a killer, since the reward has been taken, he naturally has to work, but he will not do such a troublesome thing as the eldest prince ordered, and directly kill the lord of Drifting Snow City, the princess who has lost her support is naturally not a competitor of the eldest prince, if you want to kill a lord, the eldest prince will not say anything, maybe there will be a reward.

……

"Oops, everyone is so enthusiastic, no need to send it"

"Alas, auntie's salted fish should be kept for the festival and eaten, you're welcome"

Leo managed to break free from the crowd and scurry into the alley alone, the guards remaining in place to stop the enthusiastic residents of Pinewood.

In the dim alleyway, the light of the torches flickered on and off, and the serpent flashed out of the shadows and scurried directly at Leo's back.

"Suffer death! Clough"

With a dull thud, the serpent holding the dagger froze to a halt, clutching its abdomen and looking in horror at the black iron pipe sticking out from the hem of its clothes.

"What kind of sorcery is this ........?"

"Short-barreled shotgun A0004 prototype Leo Hammer Special Edition beta0.1"

“…..”

"Well, did I say it too quickly, then I'm talking about it once"

"This is a short-barreled shotgun A0004 trial Leo Hammer Special Edition beta0.1"

“…..”

The serpent greeted Leo's family inwardly and collapsed weakly in a pool of blood.
