Chapter 46: The Elephant Becomes a Mammoth

Druid Joseph's return to Nebo means that Zhao Mai should set off for Farmer's Forest. The druid www.biquge.info s study life was about to begin, and his heart was full of excitement and a hint of reluctance.

The reluctance is naturally due to the separation of the "three musketeers". Due to the rush of time, Zhao Mai's musket is the only gun that has completed all the processes including grinding, polishing, protection and spraying, and is currently on Zhao Mai's back, clinging to his clothes, giving people a sense of solid security.

The hand-made bullets are all from the hands of the dwarves, and a belt for the bullets keeps the thirty flat-headed metal shotguns safely and easily accessible without affecting their movements, which is Green's craft.

"Whether it's being a druid or building a weapon, I can't help with anything like that. But if you want to make some utensils for storing small things, then I am very experienced. Green smiled smugly. "I made a hidden pocket that could hide cards, chips, and daggers without anyone getting out. These obedient warheads are not a problem at all. ”

"If that's the case, I've got something for you. Hopefully, you have to be careful to get the most out of it. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Green, somewhat surprised. After more than half a month of contact, he can see that Zhao Mai has magical ideas and techniques.

"I've taught you this to make a lot of money, and it's so big that it can devour your life. Zhao Mai pondered for a moment and instructed: "No matter how much you earn, you must use most of it to support Suoke's firearms research." Because only weapons and strong force are your ultimate security. ”

Seeing Green put away his smile and knowing that he understood the risks, Zhao Mai handed him his method of preparing fine salt.

"Elven Alchemy Salt, it's that simple?" The surprised expression on Green's face was Zhao Mai's biggest gain. "For hundreds of years, even thousands of years, elves have used such a simple method to earn our money?"

"I don't know how the elven alchemy salt is made, maybe it's the same, maybe it's not as convenient as my method. ”

"It's a good thing. Are you relieved to leave it to me?" Green frowned: "We've only known each other for less than a month, aren't you afraid that I will take your method and go away and make money by myself, who cares about the musket?"

"Salt is definitely going to get cheaper and cheaper, you have a head start at most, but what if you run away, can't I still smash the price of salt down?" Zhao Mai smiled: "Big deal, I framed you for stealing the elf's alchemy salt preparation method, so that you can't say it clearly." ”

"Okay, since you can also be treacherous, then we can work together. Green scratched his head, "I'll never work with a fool again in my life, really, once is enough." ”

Subsequently, Zhao Mai took the opportunity to go to the dwarf to make the final adjustment of the musket, and mysteriously handed him a secret recipe. "Sock, this is my gunpowder recipe, and the method of granulation. ”

The dwarf couldn't contain his curiosity, so he quickly opened it and looked at it several times, and made sure that he had memorized it. "I've figured out in the past few days that the gunpowder you made is much better than mine. Of course, the explosiveness is certainly not good, but pushing the warhead is the most suitable. ”

"Well, guns, medicines, and bullets are all very important, and any one that falls will affect the final power. ”

"I'm going to keep this recipe in mind and make more and better guns. Sock laughed, the beard of his face pulled to the sides, forming a crooked crescent. "Come and see your weapon, I'm done. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Zhao Mai said to the dwarf in a serious tone: "The guns are placed there, as long as they can be disassembled, most of the mysteries can be learned." But this is not the case with the secret of gunpowder, and few people can restore the recipe from the black powder. ”

"Well, you're right. The dwarf tilted his head, not knowing what Zhao Mai was referring to.

"Keep the secret of the recipe in mind, and if you have the time, invest in researching a better recipe, and keep it a secret, no one can tell it. Zhao Mai said: "Only in this way can we ensure that this weapon will not be proliferated." It's like...... Just like the best martial arts of you dwarves, the best marksman skills of elves, if they were learned and mastered by a larger number of goblins and orcs, what a terrible thing it would be!"

The dwarf swallowed hard, and he finally realized the danger. Knowing the power of the gun in his hand, he could easily arm an unarmed weak man, such as Zhao Mai, into a killer who could pose a great threat to the knight. In the unlikely event that the recipe for gunpowder was known to the orcs, they would not be without blacksmiths, and might be able to imitate similar weapons.

One or two orcs with shoddy weapons were nothing, but there were almost ten times as many orcs as dwarves. Even if you have the best musket in the world, if you are hit by ten of the worst muskets at the same time, you will still die.

"Rest assured, I won't leak the formula of the formula of gunpowder. He thought for a moment and added, "Bullets can't be sold casually, only those who are kind and friendly can get them." ”

Zhao Mai smiled at this time, hugged the dwarf Sok hard, and then went to look at his musket.

Because the druid's training was about to begin, the dwarf Sock paid more attention to the natural style when he modified the gun for Zhao Mai. After secretly consulting Green, according to the sketch drawn by "Mad Mouse", he turned the original blade that flipped and bounced into two, and changed it to a forward push card slot for ease of operation. So, on the whole, when the blade is pushed out, the tip of the spear resembles an elephant's teeth.

The sights of the musket are also carved to look like elephants, and at least the two ears are still decent. The counterweight has also been carefully adjusted, striving to allow Zhao Mai to adapt as soon as possible. Because time is running out, otherwise the dwarves would be tempted to apply rune technology to the elephant's teeth so that it can be turned into a magical weapon.

Holding the weapon, rubbing the pattern on it, the dwarven text hidden in the arabesque-like skid pattern reads, "Dedicated to my mentor, the guiding lamp, the source of pure gold." Zhao Mai kept looking at it over and over again, and he couldn't put it down. "Such a good gun deserves its own name. Sock, what do you suggest?"

"What about elephants?" said the dwarf, "you said that my arms resemble elephant legs, so I carved an elephant." The picture was drawn by Green, and I don't know if it looks like it, after all, I haven't seen an elephant, so I'm worried about ......."

"You can't call it an elephant, that's too ordinary. The most powerful ancestor of the elephant clan was the mammoth, strong, mighty, and tenacious, and the king of the land. I wanted to call the gun the Mammoth M1 Megalodon, or Mammoth for short. ”

"Megalodon I understand what it means, what's going on with M1?"

"It doesn't make any sense, it's just for the people who hear it to ask questions. Zhao Mai said to Soke: "If you want more people to identify with you, you must arouse their interest, and only talk about technology, which can only be limited to craftsmen." For others, you need to learn to pack...... Forget it, it's simple, as long as it makes them curious and keeps asking, then they'll hear more about it, won't they?"

"That's right, I didn't think of that. Sock laughed: "A mentor is a mentor." ”

In this way, after saying goodbye to each other, Zhao Mai carried the "Mammoth M1 Megalodon" on his back, carried a basket of eggs, and followed Joseph north to leave Nebo Town.
