Chapter 911: Roland's Hammer (III.)

In fact, the Magic Guide Airship that appeared in Kitland City was not only the "Dawn" discovered by Theodosius. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoThe Dawn, which had arrived earlier in Kitland, had landed on the makeshift airport of the Colosseum, which was spacious enough and safe enough, and shortly after Theodosius discovered the Aurora, the small airship from the North Bay followed Roland's guidance to land at the Colosseum.

Accompanying Roland as he waited for the Dawn in the darkness of the night were Master Merlin, Artillery Brigade Commander Yuri Popov, and Ordnance Chief Jack Duvalin.

Under the guidance of the "Dawn Technique", the "Dawn" landed smoothly in the square, not far from her sister ship "Dawn".

Roland led the crowd forward to greet them. The hatch opened, the gangway was lowered, and a group of passengers, uniformly dressed in sky-blue canvas jackets, descended one after another. Roland recognized it as the uniform of the "Mechanics' Guild" in Port Whitegull, and the ten visitors who arrived in Kitland by airship tonight were all mechanics, including Sukhoi students and Morozov's assistants, all of whom had extensive experience working with the Airship Company or the Mecha Institute.

The trap warlocks were all young, the oldest in his early forties, named Kafta. Roland had several encounters with him in the airship company, and knew that this person was Sukhoi's protégé, and the old man was willing to send his right-hand man to provide technical support for the Kolas Legion, and this deep friendship touched Roland very much.

"Good evening, Mr. Tafka, did the road go well?" Roland took the initiative to shake hands with Tafka.

"Good morning, Mr. Roland, we are very good and have the privilege of serving you, and the lads are very excited and eager to get to work right away."

Tafka spoke with a thick North Bay accent, was so myopic in one eye that he had to hang up a monocle and wear a fedora with the brim lowered to cover the premature decline of his hairline. Perhaps he wanted to emphasize that he was not as nerdy as he seemed, but he had listened to someone's bad idea, and he had grown a black and hard mustache, but he had neglected to take care of it, and his face looked rather comical—like a shoe-shining brush glued to the top of his lips. When he first saw him, Jack couldn't help but laugh as he stared at his mustache. However, when Roland introduced him to Kafta as a level 11 mechanism warlock, the dwarf alchemist immediately put away his smile and stood in awe.

Roland shook hands with the warlocks who had come from afar one by one, and then introduced his companions to Kafta and the others.

"This old gentleman is Master Merlin, the chief of staff and head of equipment of the Kolath Legion, and Mr. Merlin will be your immediate boss from now on."

"This is Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Popov, the commander of the artillery brigade, and your job is to focus on artillery, and you will often deal with Lieutenant Colonel Yuri in the future."

"This is Mr. Jack Duvalin, the director of artillery ordnance, from today you will join the 'Ordnance Institute' under the leadership of Mr. Jack, the Ordnance Institute is directly led by Mr. Jack, and Mr. Kafta assists as a deputy, if you need to negotiate with other departments, you two will come to me, and I will do everything possible to mobilize resources to meet the needs of the Ordnance Institute."

Tafka and his entourage shook hands with Merlin, Yuri, and Jack one by one, changed into the special uniforms for the technical arms that Jack had prepared for them, and soon entered the role, rejecting Roland's suggestion for a late-night snack, and couldn't wait to inquire about the current work of the Ordnance Institute.

Roland has brought these valuable talents from all over Baigull Harbor, and of course there is an urgent need for them to make use of their professional expertise.

Back in the barracks temporarily prepared for the armory, Roland first bid farewell to the busy Mage Merlin, and then asked Lieutenant Colonel Yuri to arrange for the other warlocks to sleep, leaving only Jack and Kafta, the two core figures of the armory, to close the door and sit down to get down to business.

"Mr. Kafta, at present, the Ordnance Institute is mainly responsible for three tasks, the first is to provide technical guidance to the 'grenade' factory that has just been put into production."

"You mean...... Grenade? Kafta looked at Roland's hand in confusion, trying to imagine what the words "palm" and "bomb" meant together.

"This is a new type of individual demolition weapon that our army will be equipped with, you can think of it as a small blasting barrel, which is directly thrown out to bomb enemy facilities, and the high temperature, shock wave and fragmentation produced by the explosion also have an excellent killing effect on biological targets." Roland explained.

Kafta nodded, "This sounds like a dangerous thing made by an alchemist, and the bomb that can be dropped in your hand must not be too big, and it can't hold much alchemy gunpowder, which is ...... lethal" He stopped talking.

Roland heard his doubts and turned to Jack and smiled: "You are the inventor, you tell him." ”

The dwarf alchemist puffed up his chest and posed in front of the warlock who was much taller than himself, "Mr. Kafta, in fact, I don't need much alchemy powder in the grenade, of course, I did use a little 'fiery glue', mainly to attach to the shrapnel to enhance the burning effect, so that the grenade can also play the role of an incendiary bomb, as for the energy of the blast itself, it mainly comes from the 'fireball technique' infused into the shell." ”

"You poured the 3-ring fireball into the bomb?" Kafta's eyes widened and his lips squirmed, "This...... It's a luxury. ”

"It's not as extravagant as you think." Jack grinned and said smugly, "I have improved the enchantment technology, the cost mainly consists of a 3-ring spell slot and 10 grams of blast stone powder, in addition to the cast iron shells, metal springs, sulfur, bat droppings, cotton wool and mineral oil and other worthless things, except for the spell bit, other materials are not worth a gold coin." ”

Kafta listened intently, and then couldn't help but admire: "Mr. Jack, you are completely different from those weirdos who huddle in the basement all day fiddling with crucibles and flasks, you are the most genius alchemist I know!" ”

"Hahaha, I don't dare to be, it's just that my luck is better." The little dwarf proudly cocked Erlang's legs.

Kafta took the structural diagram of the "grenade" from Roland's hand and put on his glasses to study it. As if thinking of something, he took out a pencil from his jacket pocket and looked around: "Please give me a piece of paper." ”

Jack hurriedly opened the desk drawer, took out a stack of calculation papers, and handed it to him.

Kafta was very engaged in his work, writing and drawing on paper, occasionally glancing up at the original drawings of the "grenade", and then unceremoniously pointing out to Jack the details of the design that did not make sense or added to them, and gave bold and confident changes.
