Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Wedding on the Agenda
Tsuchigomon Nagato began to experiment with the latest double-barreled musket himself.
With two successive gunshots, the bullet wrapped in the lead ball is ejected, presenting a large area of scattered projectiles. A large amount of white smoke wafted away, it was unburned black powder.
"Whew......" Tsuchigomon Nagato exhaled sharply, he put the gun on the ground, and began to go to the trees that had been hit by the bullets to see the effect of the gun.
The small steel balls were basically bounced open by the tough bark, leaving tiny holes on them, and when he touched the tiny holes, he also felt the remnants of his previous enchantment and demon-breaking spiritual power.
"It's successful, my demon-breaking spiritual power can be successfully enchanted on it." He turned his head to Levi.
Levi also smiled, this most primitive musket has been able to be used in actual combat, and he didn't expect this gun to be able to reload after fighting, Levi imagined that after two projectiles, he would directly throw it on the ground and pull out his katana melee combat.
Or maybe the katana melee for a while then pulled out the thing and fired two shots at the other side.
The reason why this firearm is stronger than the bow and arrow is that the bow and arrow are too slow, and an arrow can easily be blocked by a bullet. Not to mention the bow and arrow, even the revolver that Levi used before was blocked by the demon, and the slower bow and arrow were more easily blocked.
The musket as a whole is modeled after the structure of a shotgun, and it fires dozens of steel balls wrapped in lead, which is not enough in quality and quantity. The opposite side can block a few steel balls, but can it block dozens, hundreds?
Tsuchigomon Nagato began to fall in love with the heavy and ugly double-barreled musket, and he began to use a special cleaner to dispose of the unburned gunpowder and the lead that had partially melted into the barrel, and began to shoot again.
Obviously, this weapon has even been able to change some of the current combat patterns, the power of the gun is not great, and even a single shot projectile is far less effective than a bow and arrow, but Tsuchigomon Nagato obviously also sees the development prospects of this weapon.
Especially if it can be enchanted with spiritual power.
"Maybe in the future, samurai and swordsmen will start to change their names." Tsuchigomon Nagato stroked the double-barreled musket and said.
"There is no need to change the name, the swordsman is still called the swordsman, but they may have to add a little strange element to their swordsmanship." Levi retorted.
"Can you give me this gun, young master." Tsuchigomon Nagato's eyes lit up.
He had already thought of that kind of scene, when he was confronting the demon on a dark and windy night, he suddenly took out such a thing and gave it to the demon twice.
Sbarassi!
"Will taking this musket affect your subsequent forging of other firearms?" Levi asked the craftsman.
"It has no impact on returning to the young master."
"Then I'll give it to you, of course, you have to pay attention to the service life of this gun, it is estimated that a few more shots in a row will have to be rebuilt." Levi reminded.
"No, I'll save this weapon for when I deal with demons. I can't wait to see the faces of the demons, the expressions of death in confusion. "Tsuchigomon Nagato has this double-barreled shotgun on his back.
Behind his pure white hunting suit and tall black hat hung such a thing, which made people feel out of place no matter how they looked at it.
"This can already be used in actual combat, and you can go all out to produce this musket in the future. I want to see twenty of these muskets in a week, can you do that? Levi asked the craftsman.
The craftsmen replied in the affirmative, but asked for more manpower, and Levi agreed.
At the same time, Li Wei also handed over the information of yellow powder and smokeless gunpowder that he had sorted out to the craftsmen, and they could not fully understand these techniques in a short time, and it may take them months or even years before they could be put into practical weapons, but at this stage, this generation of double-barreled muskets has been able to be applied to actual combat.
After leaving the workshop with Tsuchigomon Nagato, Tsuchigomon Nagato suddenly asked, "Young family master, have you booked your wedding day with Princess Fujiwara?" ”
"Huh?"
"With all due respect, young master, take advantage of these days to deal with this matter as soon as possible. Even if it's just the simplest way to do it. ”
"Then let me ask, you need more than three hundred of that kind of paper cranes, how many days will it take you to make them." Levi asked.
"Within five days."
"Then set the wedding time in three days, and you will be responsible for the ceremony, preferably within an hour, so as not to affect our plans. I'll let my sister know in person. ”
"Hay!"
And after the Tsuchigomon Nagato left, Levi went directly to Fujiwara Chihime's room and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
The room is still filled with the smell of sandalwood and Chinese medicine, the screen of flowers and birds, and a girl in a purple-black kimono kneels next to her, writing something with a brush.
After seeing Levi come to her, she put the scroll aside and saluted Levi slightly: "Good day, brother." ”
Levi nodded in response, and inadvertently glanced at the text in the scroll, as if it was writing a story about a protagonist named Hikari Clan, and the writing was a bit like the description of a book like "The Tale of Taketori" here.
However, he quickly turned his head and said directly to the righteous sister: "I plan to have a wedding in three days, and there is no need to go through cumbersome etiquette at this juncture, just start and end simply." If you don't want to, you'll have one last chance to regret it. ”
"Does my brother hate me?" Fujiwara Chihime raised her head slightly and looked at Levi.
Levi shook his head.
"I don't hate you, brother, that's enough. If my brother really doesn't hate me, then I'll ask my brother to take care of me for the rest of my life. Fujiwara Chihime opened the board in front of her and bowed deeply to Levi.
"I will respect your own wishes, the lord of you is kind to me, and after you drive the demons out of Kyoto, if you are willing to become the lord of everyone, then let you be the lord."
Fujiwara Chihime shook her head and said, "I know that I don't have this talent, the Fujiwara family is still in the hands of you, my brother, I just hope that my identity can help you reduce the resistance, this is the only thing I can do." ”
This matter is so simple to decide, maybe the moment Levi becomes Yoshiko of the Fujiwara family, the two have already understood their marriage to each other.
Levi needs the influence and power of the Fujiwara family to fight against the demons, and only when he really marries Fujiwara Chihime is he the titular head of the Fujiwara family, not the "young head of the family" that many people are still dissatisfied with. And Fujiwara Chihime may just need a strong man to stabilize the Fujiwara family and provide her with a shelter.
He returned to his room, and then the fanatical art seemed to be constantly producing napalm with radiation, the craftsmen of the workshop were producing muskets, the onmyoji were making a thousand paper cranes, the samurai were training, the demons were waiting to die, and we all had a bright future.
