Chapter 24: Gunpowder
Looking at the scene in front of them, the three of Offman looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and when they saw Rogge enter the house, they could only shake their heads and do things. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After entering the house, Rogge did not stop, but from the broken corner of the room, bent over, and entered a crack behind the house.
At this time, Offman and the others realized that this was actually a deserted land, surrounded by several dilapidated and uninhabitable houses, and under the cover of the new houses built outside, as long as they did not go through a few passages, it was difficult to find this place at all.
And the most strange thing for Offman is that this place is now full of people, these people are ragged and sloppy, but they have one thing in common, resentment, yes, these people have undisguised and bitter resentment in their eyes!
This made Offman and others frightened at the same time, an inexplicable sadness disturbed their hearts, the reason why these people are like this is nothing more than a complete despair of life, as a member of the bottom of Dale County, such a gaze, Offman deeply understands.
Although I think so, but this is a slum after all, who knows if these people will do anything crazy in order to survive, Offman and the others glanced at each other, secretly moved closer to Rog, and pressed their hands on the machete on their waists!
"This is Marcie, her daughter was taken away by Buck the previous year," the lame old man who led Rog at first pointed to a woman who looked like a madman.
"His name is Lynn, and his hand was chopped off by Buck......"
"Gar's children are all dead, and Buck didn't spare them..."
Rogge looked at these people in front of him, let the old man introduce him, and as the old man told everyone's pain, the resentment in these people's eyes became more and more intense.
There is no crying, no overreaction, and the numbness of life has made these people not know how to express their inner grief and indignation, but Rogge understands that under the calm appearance of these people, there is a bloodthirsty demon hidden!
This demon is waiting, waiting for the person who can wake it up, from the moment they came here, it was already doomed, the only person who awakens the demon is Rog!
After a while, Rogge raised his hand to stop the old man, seeing that everyone's emotions had been mobilized and the goal had been achieved, Rogge did not want to reveal the scars of these poor people again.
"I know why you're here, and I think Old Man Olier has already told you. Rogge folded his hands behind his back and looked at everyone: "I don't want to say anything superfluous, Offman bring the things!"
Hearing Rogge's words, Offman and the others threw the goods on the car in front of everyone, and after doing it, they stood beside Rogge without letting their guard down at all.
"Here's food, here's warm clothing, here's money......" Rogge kicked the package open on the ground, and the food, clothes, and coins leaked out: "You can take these and divide them......
"We don't want it!" Before Rogge could finish speaking, a woman squeezed out of the crowd and stared at Rogge: "I want my daughter!"
"Yes, we're not here for these things, we're here for our children......"
"As long as you can kill Buck, we'll listen to you!"
Seeing the fierce expressions of everyone, seeing that they were about to surround them, Offman and the others had a numb scalp, and hurriedly pulled out the machete on their waists and surrounded Rogge behind them.
The appearance of the machete startled everyone, and looking at the fierce-looking Offman and the others, everyone gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, Rogge waved his hand and motioned for Offman to step aside, but in the face of such a scene, how dare Offman retreat, in desperation, Rogge could only sit cross-legged, look at the goods in front of him and say slowly:
"I know, but I have to fill my stomach and take care of my body first!"
Maybe it's because of the large number of people, or maybe these people are hungry, a large bag of food disappeared from Rogge's sight in the blink of an eye, during which Rogge counted the heads, there were only more than twenty people, and couldn't help but wonder: "Just you people?"
"It's just us. Hearing Rogge's question, the old man Olier said expressionlessly: "They are all dead, and these are the only people who can be found!"
"Oh!" Hearing this, Rogge's eyes dimmed again.
Think of Buck only looking for the old, weak, sick and disabled, a family, without the support of young people, it is difficult to survive in the slums.
When Rogge saw that everyone had changed their clothes, he asked, "Did you find what I asked you to find?"
"Is that what you're looking for?" said a man who took out a palm-sized, yellowed stone from the basket behind him and handed it over.
"I'll go, the purity is so high?" took the stone and Rogge was stunned for a long time.
"Isn't this Yellowstone?" Offman asked, puzzled, "What do you want this for?"
"Yellowstone?" Rogge was surprised by Offman's performance.
"Of course, there are so many of them in Neil Town, everyone takes them with them when they go into the forest, and they grind them into powder, and many wild beasts are afraid of this thing. Offman nodded in explanation.
"I mean, how can it be so easy to find?!" Rogge nodded when he heard this.
"You... You're not going into the forest, are you?" Seeing that Rogge was so interested in this thing, Offman hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, why am I going in there?!" Offman rolled his eyes, and Luo stood up: "Put all the pots on the shelf!"
Rogge weighed the stones in his hand, watched a bunch of people get busy, and secretly said in his heart: I didn't expect such a pure sulfur mine here!
That's right, the stone in Rogge's hand is sulfur!
Dale County is the northernmost county seat of Scott Province, with the Endless Forest to the north and the Plains to the south!
Due to the proximity to the Endless Forest, the output of furs, wood, and magical materials has created the prosperity of Dale County, but in Rogge's opinion, the people of Dale County and the entire province are simply empty of the treasure mountain without knowing it.
What is the Everfree Forest? As you can tell from the name, this forest is huge, but is there only a forest to the north of Dale County? When Rog entered the city, he could tell at a glance that it was a huge mountain range!
The forest that people know is just a group of trees on the periphery of the mountain range, there are forests, there are mountains, what is the most important thing here?
And what did the mine generation say? No one knows better than Rogge!
Although there is no way to survey it now, Gu Rogge calculates that it should not be difficult to find the mineral sulfur in such a huge mountain range, so from the beginning, Rogge told the old man about the characteristics of sulfur and asked him to help find it.
As for what Offman said, although Rogge didn't know what beast was afraid of sulfur, Rogge understood that this substance with a pungent smell was fatal to beasts with an extremely keen sense of smell!
Everything was ready, and Rogge gave an order that made everyone extremely puzzled, and put soil in the pot!
"If you want revenge, just do it, what so much nonsense!" didn't bother to explain to these people, Rogge sat on the sidelines and commanded everyone.
The Duchy of Patton is located in the northern part of the empire, and everyone knows that the land here is barren and the grain production is low, but no one knows why the land is barren!
Grabbing a handful of soil and rubbing it in his hands for a long time, the corners of Rogge's mouth smiled, the reason why the land here is barren is because the land here is saline-alkali land!
What is in the saline-alkali land? There is nitrate! With the simple saltpeter method, these soils can be boiled easily!
There is no shortage of wood here, there is a very pure sulfur ore here, plus the nitrate in the saline-alkali land, it is self-evident what Rogge wants to do!
Rogge wants to make gunpowder!
'Buck, Buck, it won't be long before you will be able to understand the madness of those who do not die in silence!'
'However, it is an honor to die under the world's first barrel of gunpowder!'
'If I have the chance, I will surely write a book for you, and it will be called... The founder of the history of the development of imperial gunpowder... I think it's pretty good......"
