Yunston looked at the eyes of the divine envoy, obviously with a hint of fear.

"Weapons...... Equipment?" The church thief swallowed hard.

Stealing weapons and equipment is completely different from stealing food and money: stealing something else can be said to be forced by life, and stealing weapons is a complete prelude to murder!

Regardless of the territory of the Empire, stealing weapons is a deadly crime......

Looking at Yun Ston's appearance, this otherworldly Chu Liuxiang was obviously a little cowardly.

"That's right, weapons and equipment!" Lu Chen glared at Yunston viciously, "Hurry up and take me to the place where weapons and equipment are stored in the warehouse!"

Yunston snorted a few times, but finally grabbed a torch from the wall and became the leader of the road in frustration.

Lu Chen followed behind Yunston and looked at the back of the thief with satisfaction: if his subordinates are obedient, things will be easy to do.

The other two younger brothers followed behind the Divine Envoy with their heads down and without saying a word.

These two guys have been at the bottom of the society for a long time, and they know the survival principle of "don't ask more about the leader", and they don't dare to put one more fart.

A group of four people went all the way down the aisle in the warehouse, and finally stopped in front of a huge iron door.

"That's it. Twisted and confused, he reported to the oracle, "Behind this is the cathedral's arsenal, but I haven'......t been in it either."

Lu Chen patted Yunston's shoulder approvingly, bent down in front of the door, and carefully examined the padlock on the door.

The cast-iron lock, the size of a fist, looks nothing special except that it is a little thicker than a normal padlock.

Yunston had already consciously taken out the lockpicking tool, and was about to step forward to pick the lock, but was stopped by the divine envoy.

"Give it to me, I'll try. Lu Chen grinned and snatched the lock-picking tool from Yunston's hand.

So, Yunston and the two younger brothers watched in amazement as Master Eliot inserted the single hook and the pin into the keyhole, and with a few slight twists of his wrist, he stabbed the lock with great agility.

Lu Chen pulled the open lock from the chain and threw it to Yunston triumphantly.

Yunston hurriedly caught the lock, and after a long time, he held back a sentence:

"Big ...... Your Excellency, you are in the Thieves' Guild...... What kind of rank is it?"

"Don't be big!" Lu Chen snorted and smiled, "This is the lock-picking skill that the Holy Spirit revealed to me in his dream!"

The three thieves were bluffed and stared wide-eyed: they couldn't imagine that after believing in the Holy Spirit, they could even be inspired by such a thing as unlocking!

Only Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed in his heart: when he first entered the industry, his daily task was to unlock all kinds of residents who had lost their keys......

After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Daguan glanced at the horses. Thomas hurriedly took two steps forward and opened the iron door.

On the other side of the iron gate, there is a long corridor that stretches forward, about twenty meters wide and endless. Lu Chen made a rough estimate: this underground arsenal is so long, it is likely that it has long exceeded the area occupied by the church buildings on the surface.

In the arsenal, there are a pair of stone and brick pillars standing up to the sky and the earth every ten meters, which obviously plays a load-bearing role.

Under these stone pillars, large and small wooden boxes are stacked in rows, and even if you can't see the contents of the boxes for a while, you can clearly feel a solemn aura that is completely different from the outside.

Even Lu Chen, an old fritter who was used to gunshots, couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

"Let's go!" he patted Yunston on the shoulder, and the four of them cautiously walked into the arsenal.

The boxes inside the arsenal are similar in size, and it is impossible to tell what they contain from the outside. Lu Chen simply found a box nearby and lifted the lid of the box forcefully-

The wooden trough between the lid and the box was stuck, and when he opened this box, Lu Chen felt that his fingers were aching faintly.

"My lord, this is a sword! a one-handed sword!" said Smith, glancing into the box, and reported aloud to Lord Eliot.

"Oh?" Lu Chen hurriedly looked into the box, and sure enough, he found that there were seven or eight shiny long swords inside. He took a handful in his hand and looked at it carefully—

It is a standard one-handed sword, about one meter long, with a narrow blade, a hard handguard grid, and a rope-wrapped hilt, which is simple and unadorned.

In this era, similar longswords were the most common cold weapons. The hilt of this sword has been specially lengthened, so that it can be used with both hands and both hands, and the weight is also very reasonable, mainly highlighting a universal feature.

Lu Chen deliberately glanced at the blade: unlike the unbladed weapons used by the guards during training, the blade of this long sword was sharpened to a very sharp point, shining even in the faint light of the torch, and there was also a thin film of oil on the sword, which had obviously been oiled and maintained recently.

All in all, it's a ready-to-use, well-maintained, and reliable killing blade.

Lu Chen looked at this sword and couldn't help but smack his lips: just this sword, although it doesn't look fancy, it must be more valuable in the market than the cross I saw before—a reliable weapon, much more precious than any religious ornament.

"Lord God's Messenger, are we going to steal...... Uh...... 'take' some of these swords?" Seeing that Lord Elliot was very interested in these long swords, Winston hurriedly asked earnestly.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and finally shook his head.

Although these one-handed swords are of good quality, they are just ordinary weapons after all.

If you think about it with your ass, you can know that the weapons in the paladin's hands must be the best of the best...... If you want to rely on equipment to reverse the disadvantage in force, then what you need is not ordinary weapons, or even ordinary high-end weapons, but must be veritable divine weapons!

However, Lu Chen is quite confident in the quality of the church's collections.

He threw the sword back into the box, closed the lid hard, and led his younger brothers to continue walking towards the depths of the arsenal.

Along the way, Lu Chen would stop at every time he walked and open the nearby box to see what was inside. Soon, Lu Chen found all kinds of arrows, bows, crossbows, swords, guns, halberds, helmets and armor in the box, all of which were perfectly maintained.

However, these are also ordinary standard equipment, which cannot arouse the interest of Lu Daguan.

It wasn't until they walked more than fifty meters that the group discovered something noteworthy.

Thomas opened a chest at the direction of the oracle, and found three strange weapons in the shape of long strips: three strange objects more than a meter long, which looked like burning sticks, and most of the structure was made of wood, but at one end there was a hollow steel pipe......

Muskets. Lu Chen silently mentioned one of them, with mixed feelings in his heart.

It was not until this moment that he deeply realized that the world in this era of industrial revolution is undergoing great changes.

He examined the gun in his hand: it was clear that it was a traditional single-shot rifle that was loaded from the tail of the chamber after each shot—while times were advancing, the burgeoning imperial industry had clearly not yet reached the point where it could create semi-automatic weapons.

Lu Chen squinted and looked into the barrel of the gun: it was smooth and had no rifling.

This means that the Empire's tech tree is not the same as the history of technology on Earth: the Empire has indeed developed rear-loading firearms, which are far more practical than breech-loading rifles;

However, due to the lack of rifling, a key design, the bullet of this gun is fired without rotation, and its accuracy is very worrying.

Should I help them improve their guns when I have time to go back? Lu Chen pondered as he swept the spear in his hand.

The steel and mahogany body of the spear is heavy, permeated with the breath of death.

"My lord, do you know this musket?" asked Yunston, who was on the side, with a surprised face.

"Hmm, what's wrong with this?" Lu Chen looked at Yunston suspiciously.

"This musket is a novelty!" replied Winston, "and it is said that the latest model has only been improved this year, and even the Wehrmacht has only been issued to one battalion - these boxes of muskets are still a gift from the Pendragon Company to our church last year! I have a relative who was a soldier in the Wehrmacht, so I can only recognize what it is......

Lu Chen suddenly let out a sigh of realization.

It seems that these muskets are still a new thing in the empire, and they are far from shaking the status of cold weapons in the past - no wonder after Lu Chen came to the other world, all the armed men he saw were equipped with cold weapons, and none of them had guns!

This group of old hats! Lu Daguan secretly cursed.
