024 Monster Trail

"Impossible! The magic array I drew can be said to be at the top level in the entire Europa continent, even if it is a mage or even a saint-level mage, it is impossible to be much faster than me, how can science do this!"

Gandalf couldn't believe what Duke said, how could science be so powerful, this kind of thing has subverted Gandalf's worldview, just like when Duke came to this world, Gandalf's whole person is in a state of disbelief.

Seeing Gandalf's appearance, Duke walked up to him with a sympathetic face, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I understand your feelings, but the power of science is so powerful, otherwise it would not be the truth." ”

"What exactly is the power of science, can you let me feel the efficiency of industrialization you said, my lord?"

At this time, Gandalf's face was as fanatical as his pursuit of magic, and now he became obsessed with the scientific power that Duke spoke of, something completely different from magic, and Gandalf was eager to see it.

Faced with Gandalf's request, Duke silently lowered the hand on his shoulder......

What are you kidding, this is the technology system on the earth, how can I make you feel it? If you have this ability, then Storm Castle will not look like this, and when the plane cannon is pulled out, what kind of Holy See Ice Demon does he care about, eat my cannon first!

"I'm sorry Gandalf, I can't give you a taste of the power of science just yet, but I assure you, that day isn't far off!"

Gandalf's face was disappointed when he heard Duke say this, but as a high-level magician with a wealth of experience, Gandalf quickly regained his calm and calm appearance. At the same time, he thought of a key point, that is, how did Duke know this?

"My lord, where did you learn about science?"

When he heard this question, the expression on Duke's face froze for a moment, and in order to combat Gandalf's arrogance, he had spoken about the electric kiln and industrial production of porcelain fired in later generations. But none of these things can appear in this world, and even if they will appear according to the history of the earth in hundreds of years, Duke is not sure, after all, this is a world of swords and magic.

So Duke had no way to explain how he knew this, let alone tell anyone the biggest secret of his crossing, so he was racing in his mind to find a plausible explanation.

Soon a flash of inspiration flashed in Duke's mind, just like throwing science to monsters before, this can also be thrown out, and the object of this dumping is the mysterious East, and no one knows if he dumps it anyway.

"I met a scholar from the East before who told me everything about science. In fact, the seeds of science have also taken root and sprouted on the continent of Europa, and the heretical statements condemned by the Holy See, including Galileo, are the pioneers of science, and science is all around us, and you will feel it after all. ”

Seeing Gandalf's look of confusion, Duke understood that he had flickered, so he put his hands behind him and paced away slowly, leaving Gandalf alone thinking about what the science around him was.

The successful firing of porcelain can be regarded as a solution to a problem of Duke's current problem, as long as Abner can sell it smoothly, with the popularity of porcelain in Europa, the financial crisis of Stormcastle will be solved quickly.

With money, you can strengthen the city wall and recruit troops, and you can also improve the lives of the people of Storm Castle, so that your support rate will also reach a new high, after all, the medieval feudal system is not like the county system in China, even if Storm Castle is in a special situation, it is very likely that it will really become your own fiefdom hereditary. As the foundation of his own life, Duke still attaches great importance to it.

However, after ten days and half of crazy operation, what Duke wants to do most at the moment is to get a good night's sleep and talk about other things later. So after he returned to the castle, he immediately fell down on the bed and covered his head and fell asleep, this lord did not succeed in eating, drinking, and pleasure, and the result was more tiring than the previous work of "moving bricks", what a failure!

In the middle of the night, Duke felt a little cold, and subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt, but when he turned over, sleepy eyes looked out the window. Under the light of the lighthouse, white snowflakes began to fall, and the first snow of winter had arrived.

Seeing this white snowflake, Duke's first reaction was still beautiful, but soon an ominous memory flooded into his mind, that is, the snowflakes of Storm Castle, which represented not beauty, but death and blood. Because once you enter the snow, it is time for the ice demon to attack at any time.

Sure enough, at this time, there was the sound of armor rubbing against iron sheets in the quiet corridor of the castle, and Duke was completely awakened at this time, and before he could get dressed, he heard the voice of Sergeant Major Allen from outside the door.

"Lord, wake up, Lord!"

With Allen's rock-like character, if it weren't for a big deal, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to find himself. So Duke didn't dare to slack off, and opened the door after approving a random piece of clothing.

"Alan, what's going on?"

"My lord, the sentinels in the castle have found traces of the Ice Demon, and it is very likely that they will choose to attack on a snowy night. ”

Hearing Allen's words, Duke's heart jumped, and he was really afraid of something, and it was really the ice demon who appeared.

"Tell the city lord's guard to assemble on the city wall, and I will go there at once. ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Allen's quick departure, Duke also hurriedly beckoned Sophia over and asked him to find out the armor he brought from his cheap father, this is the magic armor enchanted by the Holy See, which can resist the attack of the ice demon's ice crystal sword, this life-saving thing must be put on quickly, and he does not have the force of Ji Na.

However, the moment Sophia helped put on the armor, Duke regretted it, because he felt that he was simply suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain, a set of full-body armor was already heavy, plus all kinds of flashy decorative carvings, as well as the lion head badge of the Otto family, etc., it almost cost Duke his life.

What kind of broken armor, if you really wear this to the battlefield, no matter how good the defense is, it is an old turtle, and you can't run away for your life! Coupled with all kinds of bright decorations, dazzling like Saint Seiya, isn't this just a target? So Duke decisively chose not to wear it, and went directly to the city wall, and this armor may die quickly if it is worn.

It's just that Duke doesn't know that the armor of the Otto family was originally customized for the family's senior swordsmen, and only the strength and speed of the senior swordsman can exert the efficiency of the armor.

But there are two sides to everything, and when Duke appeared on the city wall in his usual clothes, the eyes of the soldiers changed from surprise to admiration. Sure enough, he is the heir of the Otto family, representing courage and glory, and he dares to come up without armor in the face of the ice demon.

Duke's "brave" behavior also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, after all, no one wants to fight with a coward lord, and Duke is also the first lord of Stormcastle to stand so bravely at the head of the city!
