Chapter 48: Flame Dragon Pistol
"Haha, young man, I heard you killed the Chief of Staff of the Cook Skullcrusher, the sinister black-robed mage? Yes, yes, sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, and my Bloom is far worse than you. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Bratu stuffed the fiery revolver into Roland's hand, and smiled proudly: "Your father is my sworn brother, you are my nephew of Bratu Wrought Iron, there is nothing good when you meet for the first time, this dragon pistol is a welcome gift for you, don't be polite to me!" ”
"Oh, so that's the case, then thank you Uncle Bratu." Roland made a false alarm, wiped a cold sweat, curiously pulled the bolt, turned the magazine, and found that the structure of this pistol was almost exactly the same as the revolver on the earth, except that the body of the gun was enchanted and engraved with many beautiful and mysterious magic runes.
Of course, he knew that Bratu was a famous alchemist in the Far East, and making magical items was his forte, but such a perfect copy of a 9mm "Colt rattlesnake" could not help but remind him of the word "copycat".
"Uncle Bratu, as far as I know, the common muskets in our Far East are single-shot loading, and this is the first time I've seen your exquisite revolver magazine design, and the famous craftsman shot it, and it was really extraordinary!" Roland went around in circles and knocked on the side.
Bratu stroked his long beard and smiled slightly: "I'm ashamed, this pistol was not designed by me." ”
Roland said darkly, as expected, "Then ...... it?" ”
Bratu took a sip of wine and slowly recalled: "That was three years ago, one day an adventurer from the Marquis of Feizhen came to Icewind Dale, you know, Feizhen is famous for its developed magic and firearms civilization, and that Feizhen is a real person." Arcane Gunner', she offered to buy ten pounds of Mithril, and paid for it with a new pistol design drawing, I thought it was interesting to accept, and later built this pistol according to the drawings, and found that the range was about the same as a crossbow, but the power was twice as high as that of an ordinary crossbow, and the runner magazine was loaded with six rounds, which could be fired continuously, plus the small size, light weight, and fast loading, the overall performance was far better than that of a crossbow. ”
Frowning, the dwarf lord continued: "The only inconvenience of this weapon is that the bullet manufacturing process is quite complicated, and the cost is much higher than that of crossbow arrows. ”
As a time-traveler from the 21st century earth, no one knows better than Roland the great advantages of this revolver in the era of cold weapons, and took the opportunity to drink with Bratu, repeatedly persuaded him to expand the pistol production line.
"Uncle Bratu, there is a way that wine is good and not afraid of deep alleys, this new pistol will one day replace the crossbow on the battlefield, you take advantage of the current monopoly of our pistol market in the Far East, and you will not be able to make a fortune in the future?"
Buratu's eyes lit up: "Wine is not afraid of deep alleys, I love to hear this!" Well, I love to hear if I'm rich, but who am I selling to? This little thing needs to be paired with special bullets, and the price is much more expensive than a crossbow arrow. ”
Roland gave his father a look and said with a smile: "Isn't the big customer right in front of you?" Our Black Guard unit of the Kolas Army is lacking an advanced medium-distance self-defense weapon, especially when fighting on horseback, it is very inconvenient to use a crossbow, equipped with a revolver, which can be fired with one hand, and the combat efficiency is much higher. ”
Rudolph took the revolver from his son's hand and fiddled with it a few times, and immediately saw that the potential value of this thing was immeasurable, and nodded: "Roland's suggestion is very good, the shortcoming of our Black Guard is the lack of continuous long-range firepower, this revolver is more suitable for sports shooting than a crossbow, and it just makes up for the shortcomings of our army, Bratu, I plan to customize five hundred of these pistols, how long will it take to pick them up?" ”
"Three months at most!" The old dwarf talked about business, and patted his chest to ensure that the supply was on time, "But for the sake of old friends, let's first say the ugly things in front, this 'Yanlong pistol' is a sample that has been specially enchanted, and the cost is extremely expensive, one will cost tens of thousands of gold coins, and it is not realistic to equip every cavalryman, I suggest that you equip a simple version of the revolver, which has no magic effect, and the performance is inferior, and it can only ensure accurate shooting within 120 feet...... Fortunately, it's cheap and affordable, I only charge you the cost price, 100 gold coins each, and in addition, how about 100 gold coins for a thousand bullets per box? ”
Rudolph gave his son an inquiring look, and since he learned that his son had been favored by the goddess and became Sindra's chosen one, he had come to value his son's advice more and more.
Roland thought about it for a while, and felt that this kind of revolver in the magic world was not suitable for comparison with the sophisticated firearms on the earth, and he couldn't expect its power and range to be comparable to the latter, and it was enough to be able to suppress the enemy by firing continuously, not to mention excluding a few spellcasters, the world was still generally in the era of cold weapons, and the lethality of a revolver that could cause 2d6 with a bullet was already outstanding, far from being comparable to ordinary crossbows, and the price given by Bratu was really a real conscience price, At least at the current level of craftsmanship, the dwarven craftsmen can earn at most a little hard-earned money, and it will not be in vain for the Korath army to rush thousands of miles to help.
After weighing it like this, he nodded to his father, "I think we can install this kind of firearm in the whole army, and promote the shooting skills as soon as possible and apply them to actual combat." ”
"Great, we're on track to make a big deal!" The Dwarven Lord smiled, "Rudolph, now we need to sit down and have a glass of ale, and then talk about the supply contract. ”
"You are such a competent businessman." Rudolph smiled wryly.
"This is all forced by life, my friend, don't you know what kind of life our Far Eastern dwarves have lived these years, as the leader of the eight thousand dwarves in Icewind Valley, I have an obligation to my subjects, and it is my duty to keep them fed and clothed.
The dwarven lord vomited bitterness and pretended to be pitiful, it seemed that it was difficult to lower the price with him.
Seeing his father and Uncle Bratu's bargaining shoulder to shoulder, Roland secretly laughed, retracted his gaze to check the special magic pistol in his hand, and under the scanning of the "Pupil of Fate", a screen of identification reports came into view.
