205: Academy of Magic, Underground

The canonization ceremony in the past few days is very large, and the Emperor Baekje really deserves the name of great joy.

Aslan, under the personal leadership of Prince Kira, entered the core underground base of the Academy of Magic.

That's right, it's the underground base, which is the core magic factory of the empire, specializing in the production and research of various magic items and weapons.

The entire Academy of Magic is completely controlled by the royal family.

Entering the base, Aslan looked at the various researches, and Aslan pouted in disdain for most of them.

What is the research?

Kira naturally saw the disdain in Aslan's eyes, after all, he knew this Aslan very well, and he had studied a lot of practical and powerful things in Flying City.

The person who led the way for Prince Kira and Aslan was none other than Aslan's old acquaintance, Mossadri.

This old guy naturally didn't like Aslan, especially seeing Aslan's disdain for most of the research around him, which made him even more angry.

"What is this?" Aslan said as he suddenly stood in front of a research object.

Mossadri, who was originally triumphant and was about to introduce his proud work to Prince Kira, heard Aslan's words, and immediately became angry, pointing at Aslan and drinking: "What do you know about a little magician who has just graduated from the magic academy, this is a powerful magic crossbow." โ€

"I naturally see it, I just want to ask what is the use of this kind of thing? It needs a magician to drive, judging from the magic array above, the arrows shot out are at most an intermediate swordsman with all his strength, the power is still okay for ordinary soldiers, but it is a little weak for magicians, and the magic crossbow must be made of walnut, my God, the price of this magic crossbow is definitely more than a thousand gold, or even more, and the cost performance is completely unequal. โ€

Aslan naturally saw that this was Mossadri's work, and when he was about to introduce it triumphantly to Prince Kira, he opened his mouth sarcastically.

There is no way, Aslan just doesn't like him, Mentor Semel has been very unsatisfactory in the academy recently, and more than eighty percent of them are secretly instructed by this Mossadri magician.

Mossadri glanced at Aslan in great surprise, he didn't expect him to be able to see so clearly, but he couldn't agree with his evaluation.

Prince Kira is very clear that Aslan is a pragmatist in front of him: "What is the cost performance?"

"The full name of cost performance is the performance-to-price ratio, which is a proportional relationship between performance and price. Aslan didn't look back, and picked up the magic crossbow casually, but it was quickly snatched by Mossadri.

"Don't touch my things, boy, you can't afford to break them. Mosadri glared at Aslan viciously, if it weren't for Prince Kira's presence, he would definitely teach Aslan how to behave.

At this time, more and more magicians came around, looking at Mossadri curiously, but after seeing Prince Kira, they saluted one after another.

"Indeed, of course I can't afford it, I don't have the time to study such flashy things, it's useless at all. Aslan said disdainfully.

This really made Mossadri angry, Prince Kira was even more interested, and the other magicians didn't have a good impression of Aslan, a young man, and actually insulted a magician's research in public.

It's just because of Prince Kira, otherwise Aslan would really be drowned with saliva.

"Tell me about the use and function of the magic crossbow. Prince Kira asked, looking at Mossadri.

Mosa Derry came to the spirits.

"Your Royal Highness, the main body of my magic crossbow is made of walnut, which can better increase the magic conductivity, and there are three magic arrays carved on the crossbow machine, but they shoot magic arrows with wind attribute and fire attribute respectively, with an effective range of three hundred meters, which can easily penetrate the body protection fighting qi of intermediate swordsmen. Mossadri said slowly: "Of course, considering the problem that it cannot be used normally, a groove has been made under the crossbow handle, which can be used to assemble magic crystals, and it can be used to drive with magic crystals." โ€

Prince Kira nodded, a little surprised, such a weapon is indeed a sharp weapon on the battlefield.

He turned his head to look at Aslan and asked, "Aslan said that the cost performance of this magic crossbow is not equal?"

Aslan nodded, and snatched the magic crossbow with disdain on his face.

"The walnut on this magic crossbow is at least twenty years old, and the price in the market is at least five hundred gold coins, the crossbow machine is made of mythril, although it is small, but the price of mythril is still high, this crossbow machine I estimate that it will cost thousands of gold coins, and there are two magic arrays carved on the crossbow, even if it is just a simple magic array, it will take at least two magic apprentices to carve for a day and a night, as for the magic array on the crossbow machine, it must be carved by Master Mossadri himself, which I have to admit that the attainments on the Mossadri magic array, so that the ordinary magic of the magic array will definitely not be carved, even if it is a high-level magicianใ€‚ โ€

When Aslan said the price of walnut to the Mithril crossbow machine, the corners of Prince Kira's mouth couldn't help jumping, and when he finally heard the carving of the magic array, his face turned completely dark.

"The cost of this magic crossbow, not counting labor, at least two thousand gold, and then specially ask the magic master and two magic apprentices to help carve the magic array, my God, I really can't think of anyone who invited it, such a weapon, I want to ask Master Mossadri, what are you going to use this weapon for?

All the magicians present were stunned for a moment, and many of the magicians who reacted suddenly realized that they glanced at Mossadri with embarrassment.

Prince Kira's face was terrifying.

Being reminded by Aslan like this, Mossadri also woke up suddenly, and glanced at Prince Kira with a weak heart.

Just now, he introduced to Prince Kira that if such weapons are equipped with imperial crossbowmen, the army's combat effectiveness can be at least several times greater.

But hearing the price of Aslan, not to mention Prince Kira, even Mossadri knew that this was impossible.

How much is a set of heavy armor of the Imperial Heavy Cavalry, even the set of armor inscribed with ordinary magic inscriptions of the Imperial Palace Imperial Forest Army is only 8,000 gold coins, and this magic crossbow costs nearly 10,000 gold coins.

As Aslan asked, to whom such an expensive weapon should be used, really to the army crossbowmen, unless the emperor's head was flooded.

If the power of this magic crossbow is increased to the point where it can shoot a mage or a swordman, it may still be possible, and it is only a small amount of elite equipment.

A weapon of this power can equip the army with twenty powerful crossbows, and those crossbows may or may not be as powerful as magic crossbows, but it is not a problem to shoot an intermediate swordsman.

"Magic crossbows aren't useless, at least they don't have to go through the trouble of pulling a crossbow machine or carrying a heavy crossbow on their backs. Aslan said as he looked at Mossadri with a mocking face.

Prince Kira was almost about to vomit blood, but the attendant brought a document, and when he looked at it, his face was gloomy and terrible.
