Chapter 56: The Best Weapon

"Collapse~Collapse~Collapse~"

In the workshop of the Baron's Palace, Lawson gently plucked the wire bowstring of the steel crossbow, carefully testing the performance of the steel crossbow arm.

This steel crossbow must not only be powerful, but also reliable, and durable, which requires Lawson to choose the most balanced value between the various performances.

Fortunately, he had already completed most of the calculations, and the current adjustments were only fine-tuning, and about half an hour later, he handed the steel crossbow to Anne.

"Here you go. Also, these are test wooden arrows, without iron arrows. These are ordinary steel crossbow arrows, there are 28 of them, and you can test the power with two. This is a silver crossbow arrow, there are only 8 of them, and they are used when it is critical. And this, this is a special mercury crossbow arrow, there are only 3, it is a killer weapon, and it will be gone if you use it, don't make a mistake. ”

"I know."

Anne carefully put away the quiver containing the crossbow arrows, leveled the crossbow again, and opened the lower string with one hand, carefully feeling the force. As soon as she dialed it, the steel crossbow suddenly made a loud sound of 'collapse~collapse~collapse~', the sound was not loud, but the penetrating power was very strong, and people could feel the cohesion contained in it as soon as they heard it.

She nodded again and again: "The strength is very strong, much stronger than my hand crossbow." It feels good, it's stable, and it's easy to wind. I'm going to try the power. ”

As she spoke, she walked out of the workshop with her crossbow in hand, placed the wooden arrow used to test her power on the arrow trough, adjusted her direction, aimed at the stone courtyard wall 20 meters away, and then pulled the trigger.

"Collapse~~whoosh~~"

The rattle of the bowstring and a sharp wind whistle sounded almost simultaneously, and in an instant, a small cloud of dust rose from the stone wall 20 meters away.

Anne squinted and saw a knuckle-deep white spot on the stone wall, with many pieces of wood chips scattered around the white spot.

"Hardwood arrows can shoot holes in the hard bluestone wall~~Tsk~Awesome~ I don't know how the steel arrows work?"

Her heart was tickling, so she took out a steel crossbow arrow.

This steel crossbow arrow, the shaft of which is hardwood, the arrow with a barb, is made of Rosen's special steel, and its surface shimmers with a pale blue metallic sheen, which is beautiful, and very hard, harder than all the steel Anne has ever seen. When she first got the finished product, she quietly tried it with a fish-scale steel sword, but the arrow was basically undamaged, but her steel sword broke out with a small opening, which made her feel distressed for a long time.

Wound and loaded her steel bolts, she turned the stone wall again and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh~Bang~"

The sound of wind and crash appeared almost one after the other, and with Anne's eyesight, she could only faintly see the trajectory of the crossbow's flight. She was sure that she wouldn't be able to dodge such an attack at close range.

A cloud of powder rose from the stone wall, and when the powder cleared, Anne looked over and saw only a black hole the size of a finger, and the crossbow arrow was nowhere to be found.

Anne was startled: 'Did you shoot through the stone wall?' The walls are made of bluestone, which is half a meter thick. ’

She quickly ran to the stone wall to check carefully: "I didn't shoot through, but the hole is very deep, at least 15 centimeters deep, it's really amazing~ If my crossbow had such power that day, it would be impossible for that high-level vampire to hold it with his fingers!" ”

Powerful equipment and weapons are the pursuit of the pursuer all his life, and the steel crossbow is so powerful that it is so easy to use that Anne can't put it down. As for the original ordinary hardwood hand crossbow, she had long since forgotten about it.

Rosen had been standing at the door of the studio watching, and when he saw her walking back with a steel crossbow tightly in his arms, he smiled and said, "Annie, the steel crossbow is just a temporary replacement, there will be better ones in the future, there is no need to be so precious." ”

Anne looked at the steel crossbow lovingly, and said contentedly, "No, no, no, I think it's perfect, it's the best weapon I've ever used!" ”

Rosen shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't say much. Later, when he creates something new, Anne will know how ignorant she is now.

He looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, calculate the time, I have to go and treat the barons." ”

"Go ahead, I'm just getting acquainted with my new weapon."

In the huge Baron's Palace, no one would talk to her except Lawson, and everyone avoided her, for fear of some bad luck on her. Even Savi, the glassmaker who gets along with him every day, never talks to Anne, he comes every day, just racking his brains to calculate the parameters of the composite lenses, occasionally giving Rosen a hand, and when it is almost dark, he goes back to rest without saying a word.

Therefore, as long as Rosen has something to do and walks away, Anne stays alone in the corner, either practicing swordsmanship or simply being in a daze, which has long been the norm.

Rosen took the needle, drew the medicine, and went to inject the baron.

The baron was in the mansion, and he was urging the craftsmen to strengthen the wooden shelves behind the stone wall, and when he saw Rosen coming, the corner of his eye subconsciously twitched, and the muscles on his buttocks, which he had no feeling, jumped to the ground, and there was a faint pain.

However, the potion also showed amazing results, and in less than two days, the macules on his body had almost completely disappeared.

This made him have mixed feelings about Rosen.

But in order to cure the disease, the baron gritted his teeth and took the initiative to walk towards the baron's mansion, and Rosen limped and followed.

When he arrived at the room of the Baron's Palace, the Baron lifted his robe and pouted his buttocks.

Lawson spotted the spot and plunged in.

'Hiss~'

The baron's whole body was trembling, not pain, he had long been used to this pain, mainly because he always had a fear in his heart, he was afraid that Lawson's strength would not be well controlled, and he would pierce his ass thoroughly.

After the fight, Rosen checked the concentration of germs and penicillin in the Baron's blood as usual, and this time, because the Baron could see the needle, he was prepared, but he was not very afraid.

During the inspection, the baron asked, "How's the situation?" ”

Rosen took a closer look and nodded: "Uncle, the existence of disease is completely invisible in your blood. However, for the sake of conservatism, I recommend maintaining the treatment for another three days, and then stopping the drug for a week of observation. If it doesn't recur, it should be completely cured. ”

The baron was very satisfied with the effect of the treatment, and he smiled and said, "Rosen, you, you are just too cautious. Actually, according to me, I am completely cured now and do not need any more injections at all. ”

Rosen's face was grim, and he said seriously: "Uncle, this is not a joke. The reason why rosemacules are difficult to treat is because the disease is cunning and very good at concealing. It's similar to how you use a pawn, if you don't wipe out the opponent all at once, cut the grass and roots, and give the opponent a chance to breathe, it will regroup and make a comeback. At that point, the disease will learn from the previous failure, and it will become even more terrifying, and my medicine may not be able to defeat it. ”

What he said was easy to understand, using the analogy of a war, Baron Draco easily understood, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, what you said is very reasonable, you must not give the disease a chance to recuperate, you must work hard to the end." Uncle listens to you, how you say to treat, how to treat! ”

Lawson's face softened: "Well~ Also, don't be too busy these days, pay attention to rest, and try not to drink alcohol on weekdays." ”

"Otherwise, this drinking ........" Draco saw Rosen's face turn blank and knew that he was about to reason again. These days, his biggest headache is that Rosen reasoned with him, because what he said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all. The other party is still for his body, he can't get angry, and he can't be aggrieved.

"That, that, I'll drink as little as I can, drink less, okay? You know, uncle is a lord, and sometimes he really can't hide from it. ”

"Okay then, if you can, you won't drink it."

"Okay." Draco nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Today's treatment is over, isn't it?" ”

Lawson nodded.

"Then I'll get busy first, Blackbeard is a ruthless character, I have to prepare for the battle with all my might."

Before he could finish speaking, Baron Draco turned and left, and in a few steps there was no shadow.

Looking at Draco's embarrassed back, Rosen sighed, "Forget it, this guy is as strong as a bear, and it shouldn't be a problem to drink a little wine." ’

After the baron's business, Rosen went to the room where Miss Mary and Little Alice lived to check on the two girls' conditions.

At this time, little Alice could hardly see the scars left by the rosacea, she had eaten enough, dressed warmly, slept well, and her cheeks had become a lot rounder. Sister Mary is also in a very good condition, most of the blood scabs have fallen off, and the places that fall off reveal pink and intact skin, especially on the face, there are almost no blood scabs, except for some ugly, there is not much difference from normal people.

After a routine examination of the two girls' superficial symptoms, Lawson began treatment. Both girls had become accustomed to the treatment, and little Alice, although she frowned in pain every time, stopped crying.

Eventually, he kept a record of his experiments as was customary, and then began to teach little Alice to read and write imperial script.

Little Alice is really smart, in just a few days, little Alice has learned more than 500 imperial scripts, and can already read some basic letters.

Since he had such good qualifications, of course, Rosen would not waste it, and after teaching Imperial Script, he began to teach mathematics again.

In mathematics, Alice also has a talent for surprising Rosen. The most important thing is that her current thinking is like a blank piece of paper, almost not affected by the culture of the other world, what Rosen teaches, Alice learns, she doesn't pick at all, and she learns quickly.

The two of them teach and learn, and time flies.

Soon, it was getting dark, the servants of the Baron's Court brought dinner, and Anne returned.

The four of them gathered together to eat and chat about some interesting things, and the atmosphere in the room was quiet and warm.

After eating half full, Rosen took a sip of potato stew, and suddenly turned to Mary and said, "Sister, do you have any plans for the future?" ”
