The test proceeds to the next round, this time with a Level 3 Magic Crossbow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Magic Crossbow requires no rigorous training, as long as it has extraordinary strength, it is the most widely used long-range magic weapon in Finn, just like the firearms of the Earth world.

The magic guide crossbow used for testing was still left over from the original fight against the undead natural disaster, and Li Qi also took a magic guide crossbow from Rowanna, but it was a high-end weapon of level 5, and there was no point in comparison.

The tester was replaced, a boy of only eight years old, not as tall as the wheels of an ordinary carriage.

Daniel Conrad, a surviving orphan in Conrad City. After taking in the orphans, Richie changed their surnames to Conrad, hoping that they would be united and friendly and treat each other as brothers and sisters.

Daniel is the wisest and most enlightened of the orphans. When he held life meetings in the small temple of the earldom, he often listened to the corners, and he actually grew into an apprentice and could use the magic of divine light.

During the undead disaster, he also rescued the wounded with some slightly older orphans, assisted in the battle, and even took the time to shoot a few rounds with the magic crossbow. Of course, he was slapped in the ass by Stan in the end and driven back to the castle.

He was no stranger to the weapons in his hands......

After Li Qi gave the order, Daniel's hand holding the handle of the crossbow lit up with a faint white light, and a light blue light shot out, splashing sparks on the iron armor in the distance, and the cliff wall more than ten meters behind the stake burst into a cloud of smoke and dust almost at the same time.

You don't have to look closely, the ordinary iron armor is as thin as a layer of rice paper in front of the magic guide crossbow.

Next was an iron plate, strictly speaking, an iron ingot, ten centimeters thick, which exceeded the thickness of the frontal armor of most World War II tanks. Of course, it is not the armor steel of the earth world, and it has not been surface hardened, so the actual protection ability is much weaker.

Daniel fired another arrow, the bolt driven into the iron plate, revealing half of the arrow.

Li Qi took the magic guide crossbow and used a powerful divine light technique. The white light flashed so that everyone present subconsciously closed their eyes, and when they opened their eyes, the crossbow arrows pierced through the iron plate and trembled violently on the mountain wall.

This is the advantage of magic weapons, the same weapon, in the hands of people with different levels of extraordinary power, the power is also different.

However, from the point of view of the magic industry and large-scale warfare, this is a big problem. Let Li Qi's thinking and planning of the magic industry, as well as the conception of the magic war, be like facing a high-dimensional math problem, there are too many variables, and it is difficult to figure it out.

So let's take the lower limit as the standard......

Richie thought so and let Daniel go to the next round of testing.

The target is again all-resistant leather armor, this time the leather armor becomes like ordinary leather armor, which is pierced by a single blow of a crossbow arrow, revealing only a small half of the arrow feather. If you change to an adult, this time it will be at least a serious injury.

It seems that Finn's extraordinary strength roughly follows the law of attacking the strong and defending the weak, and the spear can defeat the shield. The same level of protection can only cancel out the extraordinary power of the attack of the same level, but not the natural power of the attack.

Later, Wilson put on the third-level all-anti-Mithril armor he took from Rowanna, and used the thorn shield to block the magic guide crossbow.

Daniel's crossbow arrows sent violent ripples on the light shield, and obvious crystalline areas appeared at the point of landing of the crossbow arrows. But it still blocked, and Wilson only shook his body.

"This is much more exciting," Wilson said dissatisfiedly, "why don't you try it?"

Li Qi gave him a blank look: "The crossbow arrow only costs ten gold bushels, and the set of Mithril armor on your body is hundreds of gold bushels, what a pity to shoot through." ”

Wilson shouted, "Cardinal, my flesh is worth a lot!"

Extrapolating from the situation just now, Li Qi was confident that he could shoot through Wilson's light shield and his armor together.

Daniel was given a gentle psychic thorn, coupled with a blessing technique, to restore his state to its original state, and the test entered a new link.

"This is a test of the extraordinary strength of the probationary level, how many shots you can take, not the limit of your ability. If you feel that you can't hold it anymore, stop immediately, otherwise it will affect the test results. ”

Richie said to Daniel, who thought about it seriously and nodded solemnly.

The crossbow arrows splashed clouds of smoke and dust on the mountain wall, including Li Qi, and everyone present bared their teeth and grinned, it was heartache.

The bolts of the magic crossbow could no longer be used, and each cloud of smoke and dust meant a dozen gold bushels, which was a crime for the Epsilon who was in a strained financial situation.

When the twelfth shot was fired, Daniel's forehead was sweating and his body was trembling slightly, and he stopped shooting and looked at Li Qi with some confusion.

It's not his limit, but he has to stop.

Not only is the divine power depleted, but the magic shock generated when the magic weapon is activated will also have an impact on the soul. This makes magic weapons not as free to use as weapons in the Earth world, and their durability is only limited by their own factors such as ammunition and weapon heat dissipation.

After this round of testing, Li Qi has a better understanding of weapons such as the magic crossbow, and can build a rough model for analysis.

Based on the third-level magic guide crossbow, it can be used as long as you have the extraordinary strength of a trainee or higher. Able to fire more than a dozen times in a row, it cannot damage a prepared Level 3 professional, but it can pose a considerable threat.

The effective range of the magic crossbow is within the visual range of the naked eye, and whether it can shoot accurately is another matter, in short, it is farther than the rifles of the First World War.

In terms of power, depending on the enchantment of the crossbow arrow used, it has various functions such as armor piercing, demon breaking, bursting, freezing, poison, sacred, evil, etc.

Aside from the fact that it must be used by the Transcendent, and its persistence is limited by Transcendent Strength, it is simply the perfect one-man weapon.

A small team of Finn's professionals brought enough supplies to ensure combat continuity and crossbow arrows of various functions, which were enough to harden the armored cluster of the Earth world head-on.

Wait, there's one more big question......

Seeing Wilson and them pick up the used crossbow arrows, with a look of regret on their faces, Li Qixin said, it's just too expensive.

Such a magic guide crossbow, four hundred gold bushels, this is still the wholesale price given by Xiaolongnu.

Now that the magician wants to intervene in Finn's general trend, the price should plummet, but it will not be less than two hundred gold bushels. And two hundred gold bushels is enough for a hundred poor people to eat for a year.

The crossbow is still a small head, and the crossbow arrow is the big head. An ordinary demon-breaking crossbow arrow costs at least ten gold bushels, and a specially enchanted crossbow arrow is not capped.

Before, Teresia asked Aurora to raise military expenses, and 20 million gold bushels looked scary, even at the current price, with an army of 30,000 professionals, the light magic guide crossbow would cost 6 million gold bushels. The rest of the money was all for crossbow arrows, and each person could only get forty sticks, which could not support a war at all.

Finn's current war has not yet developed to a long-range attack, which is probably the main reason. Most people, most of the time, are still hand-to-hand combat.

If it can reduce the power consumption of using a magic crossbow and reduce the cost of crossbows and arrows, it is an ideal magic weapon.

Li Qi rushed to find Artur, who was busy on the lower floor of the teleportation hall: "Artur, rest and rest, come with me for a brainstorming session." ”

Arresting Artur to his office in town, Litch talks to him about the transformation of the Wizard Crossbow.

"Less power, less cost?"

Artur is no stranger to the magic crossbow, but the idea is unfamiliar.

"With this kind of divine power magic guide crossbow, the divine light technique is already the divine technique that consumes the least divine power, and if you want to further reduce the consumption, you have to create a new divine technique, and there is nothing I can do about it. ”

He solved the first problem first, which was easy to do, and handed it over to Yuzan to tinker with the principle, and then Finney and the others developed it.

"As for the cost, it can't be reduced. ”

The second problem is that Artur is bound by the existing framework.

"The magic guide crossbow is a magical transformation on the basis of ordinary crossbows, the crossbow body and crossbow strings must withstand the impact of the magic field, and the internal magic array structure must be very exquisite. The crossbow bolt must be perfectly integrated with the magic circle to ensure that it can be shot when it is seen, and it can activate various enchantments. ”

All in all, Artur believes that the existing structure of the magic guide crossbow determines that the cost must be so high. If you replace the parts of the crossbow with ordinary materials, you will fall apart if you can't shoot them a few times, and if you use ordinary crossbow arrows, you won't have that much power and enough flexibility.

Richie put the dwarven musket on the coffee table, and he picked it up anyway: "What if you use the same principle to modify this thing?"

Artur was stunned: "Dwarven muskets, such a primitive thing?"

Even compared to ordinary crossbows, the dwarven muskets are primitive enough.

"You don't need to shoot that far, it's enough to have enough lethality within four or five hundred meters, there is at least a semi-automatic mechanism, and you can shoot continuously by pulling the trigger. With a projectile with a very simple shape, there is no need to activate the enchantment, and if necessary, you can also use a projectile made of special materials to achieve different functions. ”

Li Qi took out the picture book of heart words and showed the drawings to Artur, and on the way he had a rough idea.

The concept of magic guns is not a new thing in the earth world, except for replacing gunpowder with magic arrays, other things, whether it is rifling or receivers, just make slight changes to the structure of guns in the earth world.

This part of the magic array is the problem that Artur has to solve.

Artur looked at these unfamiliar structural diagrams in the Heart Whisper Atlas, and the corners of his mouth were crooked, looking very disdainful: "It's like a dwarf thing." ”

He still dutifully used his brain: "Most of the magic circles of the magic guide crossbow are wind arrow arrays, and the summoned wind arrows are integrated into the crossbow arrows, and then the function of stimulating enchantment is added, so it is indeed necessary to have a structure like a crossbow." ”

"Engraving the Mithril circle directly in the copper tube, removing the complicated settings of the corresponding enchantment, this can greatly reduce the complexity of the circle, and there is no need to use expensive crossbow arrows ......"

"I'll look at ......"

Artur took the heart-whispering picture book handed by Li Qi and drew it directly.

"If you change to a structure like this, the magic guide crossbow ...... No, the cost of the magic guide gun can be reduced to twenty or thirty gold bushels, and the projectile is almost negligible. It's just that in this way, the range and damage are much lower than those of the Magic Crossbow. ”

He was very puzzled: "What's the use of what comes out of this? Isn't the weapon of the transcendent as sophisticated as possible?"

It's normal for Artur to think so, the Wizard Workshop is a business for the transcendental class, and the principle of the transcendents in choosing weapons is performance first, price second.

Li Qi changed the structure, reduced the range, and cut the damage in this way, just to make the weapon cheaper "customer", not to mention Artur, I am afraid that few of Finn's magic guide craftsmen have seen it.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why magic crossbows are popular in Finn, but magic guns do not appear.

Li Qi smiled and said: "Such a weapon is cheap and easy to use, and if you hold it in your hand, it can pose a threat to the peak powerhouse, what kind of thing do you say will happen?"

Artur shook his head blankly, and said tentatively, "Let the powerful transcendents face the weak transcendents with the necessary respect?"

Li Qi smiled: "Isn't it to make more civilians into transcendentals?"

When Li Qi sent the idea that had already taken shape to the goddess, the goddess was silent for a moment, and then said, "As a result, you still have to line up and be shot?"
