Chapter Eighty-Nine: New Breakthroughs and New Obstacles

The paladin finally stopped pestering Zhao Mai. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After determining the goal of the next stop, Hazard temporarily left Zhao Mai to gather the other six sisters. Zhao Mai was a little curious, how did they contact each other in a world without mobile communications, but he also knew in his heart that he had more important things to do.

"When you don't have a woman around, you look normal. Holding a piece of paper full of things, Green admired and said, "You have prepared so much that even some seasoned adventurers are probably not as thoughtful as you." Where did you learn all this?"

"You don't know what I said, so I don't bother with that. Zhao Mai looked at the inside of the blacksmith shop and asked, "Do you think Sok can complete the design I gave him?"

"Don't worry about it, if there's only one dwarf in the world who can finish your design, it's Thorke. He was a pure craftsman, perhaps born for the profession of craftsman, and the dwarven gods gave him all his blessings. As for you, I doubt you're not a druid, but a Lori Chosen One. ā€

"It is true that he has the priesthood of knowledge, history, and self-improvement, but most of the people who believe in him are warrior monks. My power comes from the Force of Nature, and it is not entirely self-cultivation, there is a difference between the two. ā€

"Damn, that's what I meant. Green slapped the table, suddenly a little annoyed: "The more I come into contact with you, the more I find that there is nothing you don't know." Take a look around, I dare say that there is not a single warrior monk within a radius of two hundred miles, where did you know these things? What the gods can do does not seem to be a secret to you, and your strength is so low, this contrast is maddening, you know?"

"If you remove the lowliness of strength, I think I will be happy to accept your compliment. Zhao Mai was not angry, and patted Green on the shoulder with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I have figured out what I need, and I will study hard." ā€

"If you like Hazel, you have to improve yourself, otherwise you have too few chances to succeed. Green changed his words and suddenly said, "You must not take her good impression as liking, I think she is more curious, and this feeling is not stable." To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Hazel is indeed a rare beauty, I would have poured cold water on you a long time ago. A paladin and a druid combined, it's simply ...... I can't describe it. ā€

"Ha, I didn't think that far ahead. Zhao Mai laughed twice and then became serious. "Okay, it's time to enjoy life, now it's time to get nervous. Before...... I did feel a little relaxed before, but that was also because I basically solved my worries. I won't always be like that. ā€

"I'm relieved, you're still a smart person after all. ā€

"Why do you always emphasize this?" Zhao Mai was a little strange, Green seemed to have a very strict set of evaluation criteria, dividing everyone into "smart people" and "not smart people", and he also treated them strictly differently when interacting. For non-smart people, Green never shows care and enthusiasm, let alone trust, and is completely businesslike. Only when he meets a smart person will he have some expressions.

"I'll tell you when I have time, I'm not busy right now. Green sidestepped the topic and said, "Look, Sock is out." ā€

The dwarf's face was flushed and sweaty, but the excitement and satisfaction were palpable. "Mentor, I succeeded. Your slider reload is successful, and your spin reload is close to success. Now the power of the musket has increased by at least three or four times!"

Zhao Mai knew that his combat ability was still very weak, so he relied more on muskets to protect himself. Since he couldn't use alchemy to make better ammunition, he had to work on the guns themselves. He knew very well that what really made a gun out of control was the reload mechanism.

Although it has crossed the frontload, flintlock pistol, fixed load and integrated ammunition, Zhao Mai will still not be satisfied. Due to the limitations of the manufacturing process, the magazine loading and chain cannot be made, so the push-pull and sliding loading of the shotgun must be made.

In addition to the two bullets in the chamber, the Megalodon can be preloaded with eight bullets (four per barrel) in the empty slot under the barrel. When it's time to reload, pull the mechanism backwards with your hand to push the two rearmost bullets into the chamber and squeeze out the fired bullets at the same time. At the same time, it also retains the previous method of bending the gun body to load, and it is convenient to deal with the situation of jamming.

"With such a change, the speed of the launch will be increased by three or four times, how did you come up with the idea?"

Green shook his head and said to the dwarf, "How did you think of that? This is probably Mike's biggest secret." Haven't you noticed that even this is not the upper limit of his knowledge and wisdom. ā€

"What's wrong with that, it means that my craftsman skills will continue to improve, and my musket has a very bright future!" Sok slammed his fist excitedly: "I'm looking forward to the day when I return to my hometown now, and I'll let them all see that muskets are a weapon that can become a new reliance on dwarves!"

Dwarves and muskets are actually quite compatible, just like elves and bows, halflings and slings, humans and heavy lances. If he can return to his hometown after becoming famous, Zhao Mai will be very happy for him. Because it means that the entire dwarven race, at least Sok's clan will start making muskets, and then there will be more ammunition to use.

"I've made about eighty of the rounds, and it's too heavy for you to take them all with you. Sock pulled out a bag from behind him, and the bullets inside collided with each other with a crisp sound. "According to your request, nearly half of them are pointed, like arrows. ā€

"Well, thank you. What about grenades?"

The dwarf furrowed his eyebrows suddenly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mike, something strange happened to me. I made the small throwing bomb you wanted, and I had an idea at that time, if I used more alchemy potions, and made them bigger, wouldn't it be more powerful?"

"That's right. ā€

"At first, it was like that, but when I got this big...... "the dwarf said, gesturing the size of a basketball, "it couldn't be detonated anyway, not even if it was thrown into the fire." Only those that are dismantled and turned into small pieces can explode. ā€

"So strange?" Zhao Mai also frowned, logically speaking, this situation should not happen. Although the power of the bomb does not increase linearly with the increase in charge, it should never fail to detonate. Excluding the "logical" factor, all that remains is ......

"I think it's probably because you're being noticed by the gods. Zhao Mai said: "The four elements are balanced, whether it is strength, quantity or quality, this is the most basic rule of the world. Our weapons may have upset this balance, so they were stopped by some god. This may be a good thing, but it may have disastrous consequences. Let's let it go and don't touch it again. ā€

Sock and Green looked at each other, they really didn't expect this.
