Chapter Fifty-Six: The Big Bomb and the Burning Oil
After Veronica left, Rosen closed the window and lay down in bed to rest.
The bed in the Baron's Palace was much larger than in the previous courtyard, and the quilt was much warmer, so it was very comfortable to lie on. Lawson hadn't had much rest these days, and after lying down for less than three minutes, he fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
As he was falling asleep, Rosen suddenly heard a muffled 'thud', and he was startled, and opened his hazy eyes to look in the direction from which the sound came.
The sound came from the window, and I don't know when, the window had been opened, revealing the faint morning light, and on the floor in front of the window, a small pile of black, hot white smoke was thrown.
'What does it taste like?' ’
There was a pungent fishy smell in the air, like rust and a bit like sulfur, and it smelled strange.
Extremely reluctantly, Lawson got out of the warm bed, walked to the window, and took a closer look in the faint morning light, and then realized: "It turned out to be the griffin's acid sac...... One, two, three, four, a total of four, each containing at least 20 liters of griffin acid, four is more than 80 liters. Wow~ Veronica actually killed 4 griffons overnight, which is amazing. ”
Griffins are fierce beasts, large in size, weighing more than 1 ton, with a wingspan of more than 5 meters, and terrifying strength, an adult griffin can forcibly drag a heavily armed, more than 800 kilograms of war horse into the sky.
Generally speaking, ordinary people who want to hunt griffins must dispatch dozens of hunters, with the help of terrain and various tools.
Now, Veronica has single-handedly obtained 4 intact acid sacs with plenty of acid, which is almost humanoid Tyrannosaurus.
'There are such powerful monsters hidden in this world, fortunately they are not my enemies, but not now, and it is difficult to say in the future. There may be a strong person of the same level among the Blood Roses...... I need to get stronger as soon as possible. ’
Thinking so, Rosen first activated his alchemy talent tree.
The talent tree appears in the horizon as scheduled, most of the talents are gray, only the first layer of elements is activated for only three layers, and the current proficiency is 66%.
"The first layer of elemental superiority is still two points short of being filled, but even if it is filled, my strength is only equivalent to a one-star alchemist in the game, and I am just getting started, and my strength is weaker than Dias's. To get the master-level powers in games like this, I need to activate at least four stacks of talent...... Hey, if you rely on proficiency alone, the speed is still too slow, and you still have to kill monsters. ’
'Hmm~ Veronica is a very powerful monster, very arrogant, and not very wary of me, should I her...... Oh~ What an evil idea, the risk is too great, so forget it. ’
'Then we have to kill the werewolves for now.' Blackbeard is a high-level werewolf, and there are more than 30 ordinary werewolves under his command, so he should be able to contribute a lot of talent points to me. ’
Rosen's interest in werewolves grew.
If you want to kill a werewolf, you first need a good weapon.
At present, he already has a spiral troll, Anne has a high-powered steel crossbow, and now there is griffin acid: "Hmm~4 acid sacs, at least 80 liters of acid, after concentration, how can there be seven or eight liters, and with glycerin, how can you make three high-power bombs, not bad, not bad." ”
Glycerin is very easy to obtain, and diatomaceous earth is not a rare drug, so it should be possible to solve it by looking for Savi at that time.
In this era when high-explosive bombs have never been seen, as long as they are used well, 3 are enough to send hundreds of robbers to the western sky together.
'Hey, hey, hey~ Veronica, this, although a little arrogant, is still very useful. She helped me a lot this time, and I'm going to have to be nice to her in the future. ’
He began to collect the acid in the sac, and when it was done, he activated the alchemical power to sift through the impurities in the acid while vaporizing the extra water from the acid.
About half an hour later, Rosen got a small vat of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid, about 9 liters, a little more than expected.
At this time, it was also dawn, and Lawson threw the acid sac into the bedroom stove and burned it, and then carefully took the concentrated griffin acid to the studio.
It was a bit early, and Savi hadn't come over yet, and Rosen couldn't get other materials for the time being, so he simply started to build bomb shells.
'The bomb must be iron-shelled, preferably in the shape of a melon. As soon as it explodes, the iron shell will shatter into a large number of pieces of iron and fly out, causing extensive damage. ’
Just think about it.
Rosen began to make fires, melt iron, and was very busy.
While Lawson was busy making the 'Iron Melon', Blackbeard and his robber men sneaked into the dense forest outside the town of Sunderland during the night, and while the sky was dark in the early morning, Blackbeard and a few of his right-hand men climbed a large tree and looked at the Sunderland slopes surrounded by rivers in the distance.
"Head, I've inquired, Draco's old dog has hoarded hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, all of which are stored in the granary of the Baron's Palace. If you look at it again, the river around the slope is wide and the river is very deep, which is an excellent natural defense, and if there is really not enough food in the town, you can also send people to catch fish to replenish it, and you can even plant some crops in the slope. ”
Blackbeard looked at the Sunderland slopes with a longing look in his eyes, "What a great place." If I were to become lord of Sunderland, my brothers would eat meat and sleep with a beautiful woman in my arms every night. ”
The robbers beside him laughed loudly, their eyes full of greed, like wandering jackals in the wilderness.
One of the robbers was still a little sensible, and he said in a low voice: "Head, Ah Ran entered the city yesterday evening, but he hasn't sent us a signal yet, could something happen to him?" ”
Blackbeard reached out and pulled the thick beard on his chin, and nodded slightly: "Ah Ran has always been cautious, there is no reason to forget to send a signal." Nine times out of ten, something happened to him. ”
"Draco, this old dog still has some skills. Head, now that he must be wary, I'm afraid the assassination method won't work, what should we do? A robber asked.
Blackbeard smiled, "Don't worry. I have prepared a lot of means. Rosacea doesn't work, then go the other route. Let's go, let's go down. ”
The men climbed down from the trees, reached the forest, and walked through the wooded woods for a while, and in front of them appeared a clearing, and at the end of the clearing, there was a cave with a wide entrance.
There were figures walking around in the cave, and a faint white smoke came out, and when a few people got closer, several robbers around Blackbeard subconsciously covered their noses.
"Phew~Bah~ It's so stinky!"
"I've never smelled this disgusting in my life."
"Head, this magician is all right, right? How do I feel like he's trying to stink us to death? ”
Blackbeard waved his hand: "Put your shit, if you don't feel like it, go to the side to avoid it." ”
If the robbers were pardoned, they immediately retreated far away.
Blackbeard covered his nose, walked to the mouth of the cave, and shouted inside, "Dias, are you making fire oil or stink, this smell is too disgusting?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure wearing a pigskin mask came out of the cave, it was Dias. He glanced at Blackbeard, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Head, corpse oil is originally smelly, but as long as it is treated a little, the smell will be reduced a lot, and at the same time, it will become very easy to burn, and the flames that burn out cannot be extinguished even with water." ”
"Okay." Blackbeard was also a little unable to bear it, he looked at the cave again, and could only see a large iron cauldron with white smoke, and the corpses he had collected in the past few days were gone, and next to the big iron cauldron, there was a large pile of human bones.
"Is there enough corpses? Not enough for me to get some more. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's enough. The more corpses, the more oil, and the more powerful. Dias's eyes were very indifferent, and after a pause of half a second, he said: "The matter of fire oil is not a problem, but the wood for making the oil feeder should be prepared as soon as possible." The alchemists in Sunderland are also a bit capable, and no one knows what will happen for how long it has been. ”
"Hmm~ I'll let someone find the right wood."
Blackbeard finally couldn't resist the stench, and after saying this, he strode out.
