"Gates! I want to go out for a walk alone after lunch. I slipped the last piece of bread into my mouth with jam and said, "Go back and tell Elle that I'll be back before I eat that evening." ”

"Okay, no problem, I made a note of it. ”

Gagaz still seems to be haunted by what happened last time, so he is always extremely respectful in front of me.

At the end of the meal, Jean and Scipio, as envoys, continued to discuss political topics that only the two of them could understand. And Ellie was a little impatient to meet the legendary dwarven craftsman, and led Charlotte to wait at the door outside the reception room early.

It's not that Ellie follows etiquette or anything like that, it's just that she'd rather go outside than sit in the reception room and wait. The degree steps used to go back and forth are used to reduce the anxiety of waiting as much as possible. Although this is just an illusion, at the moment, Elle thinks it is still somewhat useful.

At least she's managed to distract herself in this way for now.

As for Charlotte, she is one of the ordnance managers of Ellie's experimental base, and she knows better than Ellie's actual application parameters of weapons in the base. All technical parameters are included in those improved and dwarven special breech guns. With her there, it would be much easier for Elle to explain some professional things.

"Hello!"

Velen held out his hand. He didn't expect that Ellie, who was a guest, would appear here and wait for him first.

After being summoned by Scipio, he agreed with Elle to discuss the new things that Elle had proposed, and then to show them around the dwarven musket workshop.

"Hello, I don't think we need to introduce each other again!"

Ellie took the hand.

Before leaving, Ellie had made up some books about the Dwarven Kingdom. Dwarves usually use hugs and pats each other on the back to show welcome. Moreover, the harder the slap is, the more important the status of each other in the other party's mind, so she understands that Wei Lun only uses the etiquette of shaking hands, which is respecting her.

As a human woman, Ellie seems to be a little unable to accept this kind of "overly intimate" behavior between men and women. And her small body can't bear the dwarf on her back a few times.

"No! That's it. ”

Elle took out the design drawings from the scroll bucket she was carrying and gently laid them on the table.

Compared to the improved breech gun, the rifle in the drawing has not changed much. It's just a few things added to it. Originally, there was a groove in the lower part of the loading area that was used to install a special magazine. *The tail is connected by a thin hose to something like a canister of compressed gas to power the rifle's bursts.

Its design concept directly changed the existing rifle, which had to be pulled to the bolt to load the bullet for each shot.

"Hmm! sounds pretty creative. But ......" Veron frowned slightly, the idea proposed by Elle was completely beyond the scope of his thoughts. For example, rifling is added to the inner wall of the barrel to increase the range and power of the bullet, and the bullet is changed to a cartridge case to reduce the burden on the shooter. The dwarves, who take pride in making and inventing weapons, have never had such an idea of moving forward. But the little girl in front of him did it.

"What is this?" Veron pointed to the tin can connected by a hose in the drawing.

"Oh, this is one of the reasons I came to ask the dwarves for help. Elle looked at the position of Veron's finger and said, "I'll name him the Gas Compression Collection Device for the time being." As you can see, it's the power system of this weapon, as long as that's ...... Such...... It will continue to power the weapon until the gas inside the device runs out. ”

Ellie pretended to have such a rifle in her hand, and gestured with both hands to simulate the action of loading and shooting.

"Haha!" said Velen loudly, clapping his hands, "pretty, pretty." Your idea is very good, and of course, you yourself are very good. ”

"Really, Lord Veron, can I really fully implement this idea?"

"Well, it's not that you can't. However, the "gas collection device" you mentioned is not comprehensive, and here's ...... Over here....... However, this aroused the old man's desire to challenge. Veron was quick to point out some flaws in the design drawings.

For dwarves, as long as it is creative, the more difficult it is, the more willing they are to try.

Dwarves are experts at making weapons, and Veron is the best of them all, so it's only natural that he can point out some shortcomings. The idea itself was not something that Ellie had come up with, but someone else had told her, although she had perfected it herself. But once it comes to something essential, it still takes some expert professionals to see it.

However, at present, Wei Lun also sees the shortcomings in these places, and he has no clue about how to improve it for a while.

Ellie stood aside, humbly listening to Veron's advice.

"Lord Veron. I'm sorry, but I didn't come up with this idea, but my friend, and I'm just refining part of it. Regarding the shortcomings that you pointed out, I would like to introduce my friend to you if you don't mind. As a party to this idea, maybe she has more good suggestions. ”

"Absolutely. You see, dwarves are the most hospitable. ”

Ellie nodded, turned back and whispered to Charlotte to let her try to find Anna.

.

At the moment I was wandering aimlessly through the streets of Ironforge. If it weren't for the fact that I had come out of the Dwarven King's mansion, I don't think I would have been able to get close to the center of Ironforge in two or three days. It's bigger than I thought it was, and as I said at the beginning, the buildings in Ironforge are a constant display of the dwarven solidity.

The reason why I came out alone was because I remembered that I still had a thing at the bottom of the box in my bottomless bag - "Invitation Ticket to Iron Forge".

In fact, when I traded this thing with the old dwarf, I didn't know what it was for. At that time, it was purely to be able to get a free beer every time I went to the old dwarf.

"Hey, sister-in-law, can you show me what you have in your hand?"

A bearded dwarf seemed so attracted by the invitation in my hand that he would aloud the idea of taking it in his hand and taking a closer look.

(Well!) I seem to have the impression that dwarves are all bearded, just as majestic, just as talkative.) The only difference may be that they are slightly different in height. ）

"No!"

I was wondering how to use the invitation ticket, so I handed it to the dwarf in front of me. I'm not worried that he'll not pay it back, at least I've heard of that kind of cunning in the Dwarven kingdom for now. Besides, even if he were that kind of person, I would take it back with my fists.

When it comes to fighting, I'm still a little confident in myself, no matter who the opponent is.
