Charles is taken to a spacious basement, apparently the Ipgill family's treasure trove, where Delorie stands in front of the door of the warehouse with a bronze sign that reads "Large Instruments" in her hand, holding a disc-shaped secret key in her hand.

The environment was filled with green and red ray beams, these beams of light were like induction lasers, shining on his body, and Charles always had a strong sense of danger in his heart, as if each ray was like a 'Finger of Death' spell, which could easily kill him.

Delori pushed the door open, and Charles swept towards the workshop-like warehouse space, gasping for air.

A variety of new equipment was neatly arranged in the warehouse, and the largest super-large catapult made of all-metal skeleton caught Charles' attention.

He couldn't help but walk to the catapult, stand in front of the metal wheels that were taller than him, look up at the long pole of the metal body of the catapult, and exclaimed, "The power of this catapult is terrifying, isn't it?" ”

"Of course, even from a kilometer away, such catapults can effectively threaten the fortified walls of the metropolis. But range and power are one thing, and the convenience and maneuverability of this catapult cannot be ignored. This is the culmination of the scientific and technological power of Lantan Island, but it took me a lot of effort to get two, and I regret that I can't sell them to you. ”

Delori had been detailing the giant catapult in detail a moment ago, but the second half of the sentence had changed sharply, blocking all of Charles's thoughts.

"Ugh."

Charles scratched the tip of his nose, he wanted to buy it, the problem was that catapults were siege weapons, and the Rock Leaders would not need such things.

Lantan Island, he knows.

This is a special island that cannot be spawned by the player.

"A place to worship Gund and avoid magic." This sentence is a general summary of Lantan Island.

In the midst of hearsay rumors, Rantham Island is a strange and dangerous place. The island is full of clockwork machines, diabolical and strange contraptions, and a great combination of craftsmanship and technology.

The humans and gnomes there firmly believe in Gunde, the god of craft and forging. To solve the problems of life with technology, some devices invented by Lantan Island are more popular on the mainland, including the suspension of four-wheeled carriages, the wheel parts of four-wheeled carriages that can be recycled and repaired, and the oil lamp will never go out if it does not go out when it combusts, as long as the oil in the oil tank is always full.

There are also a variety of light fixtures, automatic time limit tools. Intricate precision tools and much more. In the brushstrokes of the human urban painter, the dwarf inventor of Lantan Island is covered with leather hanging bags and pockets. Always carrying countless mechanical tools with him, and holding some kind of steam-powered furnace in his hand.

DeLori introduced them all the way, and finally the two stood in front of the bed crossbow and the ballista.

Charles put his hand on a well-designed ballista and tapped. Feel the hardness and coldness of the metal. I couldn't help but ask: "This ballista, with multiple stone projectiles, has a maximum range of what yards?" ”

"30 kg of stone projectiles with a range of 300 yards." Delori laughed, "This is the work of the human inventors of Lantan Island, which can be loaded with conventional stone ammunition, and can also be replaced with a javelin or spear to fire. Can easily pierce shields and armor within 300 yards, if enchanted ammo is used. You can even kill dragons. ”

"It doesn't seem to be usable against air?" Charles couldn't help but say. He looked closely at the ballista's brackets, spring sets, crossbow arms, and bowstrings, and then at the long dovetail grooves in the beams, and found no structure that could be angled.

"Three replacements."

Delori smiled lightly and said, "The first two are the replacement of ammunition components, and the third is the adjustable telescopic crossbow arm, which is air-to-ground." ”

Later, Delorie took the initiative to introduce Charr to another type of Rantan Island bed crossbow.

The bed crossbow serves a similar purpose to the ballista, but when the ballista uses scattered stone projectiles, it can cause massive damage.

Half an hour later, in the reception hall of the Ipgir family, Delori looked at the priest with a smile and said, "Have you decided, 10 Lan Tan ballistae and 10 bed crossbows, and some giant catapults?" ”

This is, of course, a joke of the matriarch. She had already stated that the catapult was not for sale.

"Nope." Charles waved his hand again and again, 20 machinery transportation was enough for him to worry about his nerves, and the weight of a giant catapult was only worth these 20 machines, even if the matriarch was willing to sell it, he might not buy it.

The ballista was 20,000 gold coins each, and the ballista bed was 10,000 gold coins, and Charles lost 300,000 gold coins.

You must know that buying an ordinary brig in the Waterdeep dockyard is only 25,000 gold coins, which is almost equivalent to 10 warships in exchange for these large defensive equipment.

"Give me a day to prepare, and then you can come to the docks of Waterdeep."

DeLori said after a moment's thought.

She didn't ask Charles if he could get rid of the equipment, they were all smart people, and since the priest had come to the door to find them, he must have thought about transporting them beforehand.

Charles said goodbye to the matriarch and left the Epugil Manor, walked the clean white streets of the coastal district, and then communicated with the little goddess Thea through the power of the pact bestowed by the gods.

The god of decay and depravity, dressed in a black dress, was floating in a dark space, and when he heard the guardian's request, he frowned and said unhappily, "Absolutely not! ”

"Those defensive equipment are too heavy, and it must take a lot of strength to collect them into the dimensional space." Thea shook her head vigorously.

"100 believers?" Charles said tentatively.

The little goddess still shook her head.

"200?" A smile tugged at Charles' lips. This time, Xia was a little hesitant, and after thinking for half a minute, she shook her head with a calm face: "No." ”

“400！”

"Deal!"

Charles smiled in his heart when he saw Thea's reaction.

The slaves who had been freed from the orcs had now been transformed into territorial freedmen, and they were in fact the preparatory followers of the Charles' trade with the little goddess.

It was not difficult to reform the faith of these people, because after a catastrophe of life and death, the faith of humans and dwarves had been loosened, and at this time, Xiao Sia could easily fool 400 believers by preaching in the form of an incarnation.

Charles made a deal with the goddess, just to hand over the right to preach, and let the goddess develop this number of believers by herself, not to help the goddess absorb believers by herself, which would violate Ogma's teachings, and God Father would probably be unhappy if he found out.

In the past few days, the most sensational event in Waterdeep City is that a semi-legendary professional of the Shadow Thieves Organization has been publicly tried by the Council of Lords of Waterdeep.

On that day in the Grand Court, Iverios the 'Order' personally pronounced the death sentence of the Flamer, and several half-Legends of Waterdeep worked together to kill the Flame Flame with a death ray. The Shadow Thief of Am, who wielded the 'Flame Thrower', has since disappeared from the mainland.

To this day, this major event is still being discussed in the streets and alleys of Waterdeep, and people are excitedly speculating about the unknown battle when the Flame Collector was captured, the sudden emergence of spell fluctuations and the destruction of large numbers of houses in the civilian areas of Waterdeep City.

"Flamethrower......

Thinking of the crossbow artifact, Charles's heart moved, and he turned around and walked to the Deepwater Fort, ready to return the artifact, but the guards of the Deepwater Fortress told him that the female mage Scarlett was not there, and he could only return to Cormier first.
