Chapter 14 Machines that can print images
Just like the highly developed mechanical civilization of the Eastern Dragon Kingdom, the Sun Empire also has a highly developed magical civilization.
In the Empire of the Sun, there is a whole set of theories about magic, and there are also methods of learning magic from low to high, from easy to difficult.
Therefore, for the people of the Sun Empire, it is difficult for such a powerful empire to be born in such an era without understanding magic.
Based on the theory of Leonardo, the only holy demon on the Western continent for more than a hundred years, any kind of magic will leave some magic power after it is cast.
It is an inherent loss in the energy formula, and it is inevitable for any magician, even the Holy Wizard himself.
Such a theory is well known to the entire Sun Empire and even the Western Continent, so when Barot thought that the charred corpse was done by magic, but he didn't find any magic at all, he was completely confused.
When Barot was confused, Cotro, who was standing nearby, said, "These people were not burned to death by magic, but by people with phosphorus powder. ”
Hearing this, Barot suddenly raised his head and looked at his teacher suspiciously: "Phosphorus powder?
"It's something that comes from the East like machinery," said Cotro, with a subtle expression, and was the key to making gunpowder. ”
After a pause, he looked down at the charred-like corpse on the ground and said: "And the phosphorus powder that burned these people is even finer, almost completely colorless and tasteless, and even when it is thrown, it is almost imperceptible to ordinary people, and the burning point is lower, the most important thing is that this phosphorus powder has a very strong incineration ability, and you can also see that these people are burned to ashes when they are stained." ”
Hearing about Cortro's analysis, Barot was really surprised, Barot had seen gunpowder from the East.
That kind of thing was introduced with the machine, and it was once the standard for firearms, but then the magicians found a way to combine guns and magic.
Combining the original firearms with magic to create a magic gun, it is natural that the powder gun will gradually be eliminated on the western continent.
Barot had heard that the dwarves in the Misty Forest used traditional powder guns.
But gunpowder has actually disappeared for a long time in the Solar Empire, not to mention the phosphorus powder used to make gunpowder.
Barot thought for a moment and stood up and asked, "Teacher, since this phosphorus powder is as fine as you say, how did you find it?"
Cortrow stretched out his palm to show the student, only to see that in his palm, there was a frozen ice crystal.
In the crystal clear ice crystals, there was a particle like dust that had just been burned.
"I was late, and when I felt it, I only had time to catch this particle that had not yet burned completely, and I didn't get to see the little guy who saved the witch. ”
"The little one who saved the witch?" Barot was taken aback, "Teacher, do you know who saved the witch?"
Cortro nodded: "Yes, I met him, it was a boy from the East, most likely from the Land of Dragons. ”
"Oriental, kid from the Dragon Kingdom?" Barot was shocked in his heart.
Faces instantly appeared in my mind, and these faces were all oriental faces, but I couldn't confirm who it was?
Because of the expedition of the Sun Empire to the East, while breaking through the Eastern countries, it also gradually integrated the East and the West.
Nowadays, too many Easterners have come to the West, but not every Easterner is from the Dragon Kingdom.
Seeing Barot's contemplative appearance, Cottrow said calmly: "Don't think about it, there are too many Easterners coming to the Empire now, and Viscount Ryan is just close to the East, and the Oriental faces here are no longer uncommon, so it is difficult to find that Dragon Boy in a short period of time, and I hope you don't ask about this matter again." ”
Hearing this, Barot asked in confusion, "Why, teacher, do you want to let that witch and the dragon country people go?"
Cortro said with unusually confidence: "No, it's not a laissez-faire, but you need to wait, waiting for an opportunity to catch them all." ”
Speaking of this, Cotro suddenly lifted his robe and took out a very small machine from under the long run: "So, let's see what that dragon boy has done?"
Holding the machine in his hand, Cortro suddenly poured the holy energy in his body into the machine, allowing the machine to run slowly.
In the blink of an eye, a crystal on the top of the machine lit up, and the crystal instantly lit up the entire dim alley.
Then, Barot watched as the mechanical crystals took on images in the alley.
If Murray had been there, he would have exclaimed, because those images were the same images of him and Salia encountering Jack's group of riffraff before.
The strange machine in Cortro's hand seemed to be able to reproduce some of the things that had happened in the alley.
From where Barot stood, a vague figure was seen raising a flintlock pistol and pulling the trigger in succession to kill the ruffians besieging him.
As the head of the security department, Barot naturally specializes in all kinds of firearms, and he knows very well that flintlock pistols need to be loaded manually again and again, and they cannot fire continuously, but seeing the picture in the video really subverts such an inherent perception.
The footage continued, and soon the figure was seen sprinkling phosphorus powder and burning the corpse on the ground, only to suddenly see the man shoot out of the alley.
The flintlock pistol's black marbles passed through a burning speck of phosphorus powder and flew straight out of the alley.
Barot and Cotro were stunned, and the teacher and student looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces.
Then, with almost no verbal communication, the teacher and student turned together and chased out of the alley, trying to find the whereabouts of the shiny black marble.
However, after chasing out of the alley, the two men searched in front of the alley for a long time, but never found any traces left.
Eventually, Cortrow had to use his machinery again, once again showing the scene outside the alley.
Soon the bullet that flew out of the alley was caught again, and to the shock of the teachers and students, the black bright marble carrying the burning spark actually turned around incredibly after flying out of the alley.
Following the video, I finally saw the last half-burned body at the corner of Long Street outside the alley.
Squatting down and looking at the corpse that had not been completely charred, both Barot and Cotro were shocked.
A bullet that can turn, and it can also track all the way after a turn, chasing half a street and hitting accurately.
After a long silence, Cortrow suddenly stood up again, and ran back down the alley with the machine in his hand.
Barot rummaged through the unburned corpse and found a badge with a strange shape, and after examining it carefully, he quickly stood up and chased back to the alley.
Back in the alley, I saw Cortro standing there, quietly holding the machine in his hand, looking a little lost.
Barot walked over, and then he heard Cortro sigh helplessly, "Actually, I can't show the appearance of that little guy." ”
Wen Yan raised his head and looked at the image, and found that in the image presented by the machine, the appearance of those ruffians was very clear, but whether it was the boy who shot or the witch, it was just a vague shadow, and their faces could not be seen clearly at all.
Barot thought about it, but handed the badge he found to Cortrow, who saw the mark on the badge and immediately exclaimed, "Is it Viscount Lane?"
The badge is indeed a family badge belonging to Viscount Lane, and Barot said in a deep voice: "Teacher, the last kid to be killed may be the bastard son that Viscount Lane installed in the Brotherhood of Bad Boys. ”
Cotro, who was originally a little frustrated, suddenly became excited: "Oh? I see? Hehehe, that's good, it's really great, Barot, you are responsible for spreading the news, remember not to mention anything about the dragons and witches, and then give the tavern association and the sunflower choir an opportunity to enter this lower city to grab territory." ”
Listening to the teacher's words, Barot was stunned for a moment, and then understood the teacher's plan, which was to take the opportunity to get rid of the gangsters supported by Viscount Ryan first.
Cotro didn't say anything more, folded the machine in his hand and put it in his arms, and then took off the holy white robe on his body and shook it, the white robe instantly turned into a strange-shaped white motorcycle, stepped on the motorcycle, and finally instructed Barot: "Remember your duty, don't provoke the dragon country and the witch for the time being, and wait for me to return again." ”
The roar of the motorcycle sounded, looking at the back of Cotro galloping away, Barot clenched the badge in his hand, and his eyes revealed a thick ambition.
