Chapter 131: The Strongest Spear and the Strongest Shield
After returning to the Prancing Horse Mansion, Lawson didn't stop for a moment, and stayed in the alchemy room all night.
Early the next morning, Anne was woken up by a knock on the door from a servant.
"What's the matter?" Anne asked in a daze, the warm quilt in winter was really comfortable, and she always had a feeling of returning to the arms of her parents when she was a child.
The maid's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, Mr. Rosen asked you to go to the alchemy room to meet him." ”
"Oh, okay, I'll be right away." Anne poked her head out of the bed, looked at the clock by the wall, and saw that it was only half past five in the morning.
She was not fully awake, she yawned, reluctantly got out of the soft and warm velvet quilt, and began to dress in a daze, and she suddenly felt a shock in her heart: 'No, Rosen usually wakes up late, he must have slept all night!' ’
Lawson worked hard all night, but he slept sweetly all night, the bed was soft and warm, just now, she even wanted to lie in the bed and didn't want to get up, compared to Lawson, Anne felt a sense of shame in her heart: "Hey~ I'm so greedy for enjoyment, I can't do this in the future." ’
She was completely awake, quickly dressed, and strode towards the alchemy room at the end of the corridor.
"Rosen, I'm here." Anne knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Anne pushed the door open and entered, and saw Rosen sitting lazily at a small table by the window, with sumptuous food, including refined white bread, a large pot of thick broth, a bowl of delicate fruit, two roasted browned pigeons, and two glasses of fragrant moonlit night wine.
At the price of Nilogaard City, there is not a single gold dragon coin that can be paid for this table of food.
Seeing Anne, Rosen smiled and stretched out his hand to invite: "Come, just wait for you to eat together." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand, and a glass of light salt water flew to Anne's hand from the side: "Excuse me, I specially asked the servant to add some sun-dried mint leaves to the salt water, and the breath is fresh after rinsing." ”
Seeing Rosen's appearance as a ruined young master, the guilt in Annie's heart suddenly dissipated, she sat down across the small table, and said, "Rosen, you are always so extravagant, this is more exquisite than the king's breakfast." ”
In terms of enjoyment, Anne felt that she was a little worse than Rosen, the son of Sir who was very profitable, but also very good at spending, and he could always come up with all kinds of strange ways to spend money.
Rosen laughed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Look outside the window, the warm sun is rising, everything is slowly waking up, if you don't eat more delicately, how can you be worthy of the good time given by the gods." ”
"You're always justified." Anne shrugged her shoulders and sat down across from Rosen to enjoy a delicious breakfast.
Although she felt that Lawson lived a luxurious life, she was not used to it at first, but after a little time, Anne got used to it, and she couldn't help but like such an exquisite life.
At this time, if she was asked to sleep in the wilderness all day long, eating and drinking in the open field and living a hard life like before, she would really be a little uncomfortable.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
Tearing a slice of fine white bread and chewing it gently, savoring the delicate sweetness, Anne felt that she could no longer eat coarse bread mixed with stones and human hair.
"Rosen, let me come early in the morning, do you have anything to explain?" Anne took a sip from her glass, with a hint of early morning laziness in her expression.
Anne is like this now, with red lips, jade noodles, and red wine perfectly blended together, full of femininity. Rosen glanced at it, and felt his heart beat faster, he hurriedly turned his gaze and pointed to the alchemy table on the side: "Look what is that?" ”
Anne turned her head to look and saw two things on the table, a rectangular wooden box about a meter long, and a leather suitcase.
"A wooden box? A suitcase? ”
"Open it and take a look, this is a good thing I specially prepared for infiltrating the Blue Moon Mansion." Rosen squinted, leaning lazily back in his chair, resting one hand on the armrest and holding a crystal clear wine glass in the other, shaking it gently.
"Look at your proud sample~"
Anne glanced at Rosen, couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, walked to the long table, and looked between the wooden box and the suitcase: "Which should I look at first?" ”
"Why don't you open the wooden box first?" Rosen suggested.
Anne looked at the wooden box and saw two matte metal clasps on the sides of the box. She took a look at it and found that it was a metal buckle commonly used by Lawson, and the design was very delicate, and if it was not done in the right way, it would be extremely difficult to open, but it was naturally fine for Anne.
She pressed slightly, with a crisp click, another button flicked open, and the lid of the wooden box also popped open a crack, and when the lid was opened, what caught her eye was a metal tube shining with a dark blue luster, very thick and very precise.
'Ahhh~'
Anne recognized the metal pipe at a glance: "Isn't this the musket barrel used on our secret weapon?" ”
"Yes and no."
"How?"
Rosen explains, "I changed the tube a little bit and shortened it a little bit to reduce the power of the bullet....... Don't be disappointed, you take a closer look at the other parts. ”
Anne looked at the past, and found that there were a lot of parts in the wooden box, and everything else was fine, but the most incomprehensible thing for Anne was that there was an extra telescope in the box, although the telescope was designed to be very small, and there were some more strange parts in appearance, but the lenses at both ends exposed its function.
"Why do you have a telescope for a musket?" Anne picked up the telescope and looked at it, and she found that although it was small, it was surprisingly powerful, and her field of vision was very clear. What's even more peculiar is that in the center of the field of vision, there are more crosses, and there are lines on the left and right sides of the crosses.
Rosen didn't explain, his mind moved slightly, activated the power of alchemy, and all the parts in the wooden box were suspended, and then began to assemble them in the air one by one, and about a minute later, a large-caliber sniper rifle with a length of one meter and twenty-five and equipped with a precision sight appeared in the air.
"It's .......," Anne had vaguely guessed the telescope's purpose.
Rosen took a sip of red wine: "This musket is called Death Finger, the maximum range is 3 kilometers, and the best accuracy range is 1 kilometer." At a distance of 800 meters, when the wind speed does not exceed 10 meters per second, as long as the usage is correct, it can ensure that every shot will be missed, and the error will not exceed 1 cm. If you use a special high-powered bullet, you can still kill the Ghoul Lord. ”
Anne's eyes lit up when she heard this: "It's so powerful, how can it be used?" ”
Rosen pointed to the wooden box: "Look at the box, I wrote you a manual." You can go back and study slowly."
Anne turned her head to look, and sure enough, there was a small wooden trough on the right side of the wooden box, and there was a sheepskin scroll in the wooden trough.
Lawson's mind moved, but the lid of the wooden box was closed, and in the face of Anne's puzzled gaze, he looked at the suitcase: "Don't you see what's inside?" ”
"Oh~ I almost forgot there was this goodie."
Anne walked to the suitcase, opened it, and found a gray-white dress inside, which was very inconspicuous compared to the tall death finger musket before, and even looked a little similar to the women's underwear sold on the market.
"A piece of underwear? Why are you giving me underwear? ”
Anne's cheeks were slightly red, and she reached out and touched the hem of her clothes, and then she realized that something was wrong: "Wait, what is this made of?" ”
This dress looks like leather armor, but the surface is very smooth to the touch, and when you touch it gently, the clothes are very soft, and it is very satin-like, but with a little force, the clothes also become flexible, as if resisting the power of the fingers.
"It looks like it's alive!" Anne exclaimed.
Rosen smiled silently, his mind moved, and his clothes floated up and floated in the air, and then he took out his meat grinder musket and shot at his clothes.
"Bang~~Dangdang~"
In the burst of gunfire, there was a strange sound of metal colliding.
Anne looked at the garment again, and found it unscathed, not a single mark left.
"Hiss~~~ Clothes that can't be broken by muskets?"
This upended Anne's perception of the power of the musket. Ever since she came into contact with the musket, this thing can destroy all targets, inflicting heavy damage on any monster, even the thick-skinned giant ghoul lord has been hit by the powerful musket and the flesh is flying, subconsciously, she thinks that the musket is indestructible, but she didn't expect that now there is such a strange dress that violates common sense.
Rosen laughed: "Not only can't the musket break, but the sword can't pierce or cut it, and the claws of ordinary monsters can also be completely ignored." ”
Anne's mouth opened slightly and froze. This time, Rosen's surprise to her was too great, she couldn't even think of such armor before.
Rosen stood up and handed the clothes to Anne: "Put it on, this dress is very light, very breathable, easy to clean, it can be washed with water casually, and it can be worn as underwear." ”
Anne took the garment mechanically, still not thinking, "How can there be light and strong armor in the world?" It's counterintuitive. ”
Seeing her confused appearance, Lawson couldn't help but reach out and pat Anne's hand: "Haha, do you remember the giant ghoul lord we killed?" ”
Anne came back to her senses: "You mean, it's made of the ghoul lord's carapace?" But why can't I smell the rotting smell of ghouls? ”
"Of course. I took a lot of work to treat the carapace, not only to remove the odor, but also to change the structure slightly to make it stronger. Even if you use this Death Finger Musket to fight, although it can't be completely prevented, it can reduce the power by at least ninety. ”
"Oh~ But there's only one piece, or you wear it, you need it more than me." Anne looked at Rosen earnestly.
Lawson blinked and tugged at his collar, "Look, I'm already wearing it." It's the same style. ”
Anne was relieved: "Okay. Then I'll go change it. ”
"You don't have to go back to your room, just change it here, I won't peek." Lawson turned.
Anne thought for a moment, took her clothes and walked to the corner of the alchemy room, and after a squirming movement, she walked out again, and for some reason, her cheeks were red, like apples.
"Does it fit?"
"It fits perfectly...... It's as if you don't wear it. Anne nodded slightly, and after a pause, she suddenly looked up at Rosen: "Did you peek at me changing clothes?!" ”
"Cough~~cough~~" When Lawson was drinking, he didn't come up in one breath, choked and coughed, and after a while, he said, "Of course not." I asked from Lucy, the washerman. ”
As he spoke, Rosen glanced at Anne's chest without a trace, from the outside, it was at most B+, but from the size that Lucy told him, it was actually C+, which was much more material than Rosen imagined.
"Oh~~" Anne's face became more and more red, and she silently ate a piece of fruit preserves, and said, "About Count Derrick, have you thought of a plan?" ”
Speaking of business, Rosen's heart sank: "I haven't figured out the specific plan yet." Let's discuss it now. ”
