"Gunner?"

Several people looked back at Rhodes one after another, the Nolan Continent already had black powder at this time?

"Isn't there there in Huaxia yet?" Seeing a few people shaking their heads, Rhodes unconsciously showed a proud look on his face: "More than a hundred years ago, Wendy's genius bachelor Galen, he invented a very powerful thing, ignited a ball the size of a head, threw it at the ship, and could make the whole ship sink to the bottom of the sea!" At that time, piracy was rampant......"

According to Rod's description, Ye Qing guessed that Galen should have developed a smoothbore cannon.

The front-loading smoothbore cannon is a long-barreled cannon invented by the British in the mid-16th century, which is also known as the Hongyi (clothing) cannon after Huaxia.

However, the overall level of the existing smoothbore guns on the Norlan continent was far from reaching the level of later generations, and Master Galen died after seeing the first generation of smoothbore guns installed on royal ships.

After the large-scale production of a batch of smoothbore cannons to deal with pirates, the royal family took it as its own private property and included it in the treasury, and the adjustment and upgrading of the smoothbore cannon has been slowed down until the previous king of Wendy, after squandering the property of the treasury, the idea of the smoothbore cannon was started.

The king found Wendy's best scholars and craftsmen, gave them the manuscript of the development of the smoothbore cannon, and ordered them to make the best ships of the time as soon as possible, each ship should be equipped with smoothbore cannons, and then invited the kings of several other countries on the Norland continent to visit together and show them the most powerful water warships on the Norlan continent.

Back then, the power of the smoothbore cannon was known to everyone, but no one could crack it due to the complexity of the process, and now, King Wendy was willing to sell them good things, so every king ordered this kind of warship.

"King Wendy is quite smart, and he knows how to do pre-sales."

"After so many years, other countries have not been able to develop the mystery of smoothbore guns?"

"The current King Wendy, Queen Sale, is smarter than his father." Rod said as he walked: "The queen cultivates bachelors and lets people specialize in smoothbore cannons, and the most critical method is only in the hands of a few people, and the others don't know at all, how can they steal it?" ”

It takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to study the smoothbore cannon, and Wendy's ship is not expensive, except for maritime trade, several countries on the continent of Nolan have maintained peaceful relations for many years, even if someone studies it privately, on the surface, no one bothers to do a high-cost thing.

This also allows Wendy to maintain her unique position in the Norlan continent - the first shipbuilding power.

For now, the power of the smoothbore cannon is huge, but the strike accuracy is not enough.

For example, if a cannonball is projected at a certain distance from a ship and the hit rate is about 55%, this probability is related to the configuration and also related to the gunner, a good gunner cannot guarantee a significant increase in the hit rate, but it can improve the accuracy of the shot, as well as predict the direction of evasion.

"Under Leon's operation, the effective hit of the enemy ship can be as high as seventy percent!"

"So tall?" Ye Qing asked.

"I'm not talking big, Leon is definitely the best gunner I've ever seen! Although he looks very young, haha, he is already two years younger than me...... That's right! Rod grinned at her, glanced back at Hu Yingfeng and Shi Yin, he pulled Ye Qing forward two steps, and asked in a low voice, "According to my observation, neither of them is your lover?" ”

"Huh?" Ye Qing didn't understand the meaning of Rod's words.

"Leon is quite handsome, a few years ago, when he went to Wendy, he met Queen Sale, and the queen fell in love with him at first sight! Ye, you're not from Nolan Continent, but you're very good, you can consider considering Leon! ”

"This ......"

"Rod, what are you asking her to think about?" Hu Yingfeng put his arm on the shoulder and dragged him to the back.

Hasvester is an inland city northwest of Ebins, and the best way to get from Gampo to Harvest is by land.

At this time, horse-drawn carriages were the exclusive domain of the aristocracy, and the only way they could get around was walking, horseback, or carts.

When they came out of Ganbo, they bought a cart pulled by horses, Shi Yin drove, Ye Qing and Rong Sheng sat behind, and Luo and Hu Yingfeng rode first.

"Harvest" means "harvest" in the Nolan continent, and it is also the largest agricultural kingdom in the Nolan continent, with a suitable climate, fertile land, abundant sunlight, and the king and inhabitants are committed to the development of agriculture, and the crops here grow best in several countries.

If you want to live and work in peace, Harvest will be the best choice.

Because Shi Zhenxiang said that as long as they find the key person and follow the direction of the key person, they can complete the task, during this period, they can stay in the current time and space, so Ye Qing and the others are not in a hurry to complete the task, except when necessary, they are all seizing the time to absorb the soul of the sea, although the "aura" on the continent is weaker, but it is also stronger than what they felt before.

Ye Qing and the others also tried to guess who the great master who created this sea area and continent was, and the three of them had no clue, they had never heard of such a sage.

Perhaps, their abilities are still too low to reach the higher worlds for the time being.

More than twenty days later, Ye Qing and his party finally stepped into the realm of Helwest.

There is a stone monument on the side of the road with the words "Harvest" written on it, and next to it are several huge farming tools carved in stone, symbolizing Harvest.

After resting for one night, while Shi Yin was making breakfast, Ye Qing and Rong Sheng went to the grove alone.

"Be careful, you should go into the main city after half a day." Seeing the two walk into the woods, Rod reminded.

Ye Qingbi made a gesture that was okay and led Rong Sheng inside.

"She's badly wounded?" Rod hesitated for a while, but still turned his head to look at Hu Yingfeng, every morning and evening, Ye Qing had to apply medicine on his body, and his collar was always tightly closed.

"I used to be very badly injured." Hu Yingfeng's eyes flashed with strong worry, and his tone was full of self-blame and guilt: "There are some scars on my body, so many scars, it's not good to look at all." ”

When Ye Qing competed with Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu cast a blood spell on her, and her skin grew, but the scar remained. Hu Yingfeng found a lot of ointments to remove scars, but they didn't work, and in the end, he could only coax Ye Qing to apply some ointments every day, saying that it would definitely be effective.

I heard that there was a kind of demon beast in ancient times, and eating it can remove marks, heal muscles, and have bare skin, Hu Yingfeng is waiting for someone to inquire carefully when he goes back next time.

On the other side, Ye Qing and Rong Sheng walked to the end of the grove, with the woods behind them, and the top of the hillside in front of them.

The little hand touched the plaster and gently applied it to the skin on her back: "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt."

Rong Sheng didn't speak again, every time he rubbed the medicine on Ye, every time he saw the scars on her body, he secretly swore that he would become stronger as soon as possible, strong enough to protect her.

Rong Sheng had just helped Ye Qing pull his clothes up, only to hear a heavy footstep coming in their direction from the west.

Ye Qing and Rong Sheng glanced down and saw a middle-aged man running and looking back back, he looked nervous and grabbed a rabbit with one hand.

"Stop me—"
