Chapter 7: Preparation for Dragon Slaying

Perhaps it was the reason for the crossing, or perhaps the effect of the sequelae of the human body, Lorraine found that much of the knowledge she had gained in the real room had been reduced to fragments, and although she still remembered it, it was like a pearl with a broken thread, unable to be systematically connected. Thankfully, there's a lot more to remember.

For example, the best recipe for making black powder. The ratio of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal was 75%, 10%, 15%, and this thing didn't even need to be written in that database, he had already learned it when he was in junior high school.

It's just that in the Great Plains of Pros, although sulfur and charcoal are readily available, due to the lack of knowledge of saltpeter and the like, there is no such thing to be found anywhere else, except in the houses of the legendary alchemists.

Therefore, in order to make this earth-shattering ghost and god killer appear in the world, Uncle Lorraine, who has always been able to sit and never stand as a guide to life, has to lament the suffering of his own life, while giving full play to the excellent great tradition of the dragon people of 'do it yourself, have enough food and clothing', and make it by himself.

By the dawn of the next day, the people in Lorrainburg were already busy.

Following Lorraine's instructions, and under the guidance of the old butler, they began to clean in the corners of the castle with brooms and dustpans, collecting as much salt as they could.

Lorraine took his personal guard Baldo, put a few cauldrons on the square, poured a full pot of water, and set up firewood, which burned vigorously, quite like the frame of the big steel in those years.

Lorraine Fort is not very big, so it was only half a day's work, and everyone had already cleaned it.

They handed over all the things they had collected to Lorraine, and then stood by and looked excitedly at what the brain-dead young master of his family was going to do, would he be like those alchemists, refining gold from those things?

Lorraine looked down at the pile of things, and found that although there were a lot, they were still a little less than his expectations, and he couldn't help frowning in disappointment, but there was no way. The whole castle is so big, how many things can there be.

Baldo was next to him, and his curiosity rose. Taking advantage of Lorraine's inattention, he secretly dipped a finger and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly exclaimed. While spitting wildly, he scolded: "What is this, it's like fire, and my hot tongue hurts." ”

A person next to him looked at him with a strange look on his face and whispered, "It was swept from the toilet." ”

Baldo suddenly changed color, and he ran to the side and vomited wildly.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lorraine couldn't help but smile, but she didn't mock him for it, after all, curiosity is human nature. And even in his time, there were instructors from the ×× National Self-Defense Forces who let their younger brothers taste explosives, and as a result, they were poisoned and sent to the hospital for brain damage (then again, it's really not easy for those guys to be so lacking in heart and eyes). )。

He poured all those things into the pot and said, "Don't laugh, everyone." Take a break and wait a while to get to Ferro, and he'll assign tasks to everyone. Everyone has to work hard a little more to go to the village below. And in the same way, he gathered up what they had there. ”

The crowd reluctantly agreed, and then looked at it with their necks straight for a long time, but they didn't find anything special. It wasn't until noon that they dispersed and went home disappointed. After eating, they went down to the countryside of the territory to collect nitrate under the command of Ferro.

Lorraine boiled the nitrate in the same way as he remembered, and then crushed the sulphur charcoal and mixed it in proportions to make black powder. In the end, I had trouble using it again.

Because the steel refining is not too good, and the time is in a hurry. The musket, known as the artifact of war, could not be made, so Lorraine had to settle for the next best thing, using the epic equipment that had been tested in countless wars - gunpowder bags.

When he finished it, he realized that it was a large firecracker at best. And because of the misguidance of a series of super popular, idols and powerful successful people such as Brother Deng, these things look long and thick, and after being tied up, they look like terrorists who carry out suicide attacks.

When the last thing was done, Lorraine finally let out a long sigh and relaxed. Only then did I realize that even these simple things took a day and a half to complete.

He looked up and saw out the window, the blazing sun was slowly setting to the west, dyeing all the clouds in the sky golden.

The farmers, who had worked all day, also drove their cattle and horses, hummed country slang, and walked slowly from the distant road.

Smoke curls from the castle, and from time to time mothers stand in the doorway, calling for their crazy children to come home.

"Ergouzi, it's time to eat......"

"Big girl, come back soon......"

"Jia Junpeng, it's time to go home for dinner......

The sound echoed in the air with the smell of food, long and tactful, one after another, full of strong nostalgia.

Lorraine couldn't help but stand up and walk to the window, quietly admiring the laid-back and beautiful rural scenery.

You must know that he is about to face a dragon, even though it is said that it is an idiot dragon, although it is said that he has the knowledge beyond this era, and he also has the confidence to win. But after all, he doesn't know much magic and vindictiveness, and to say that he is not afraid at all is also a lie.

At this time, seeing the peaceful and peaceful lives of these people, and thinking that these would all be broken because of the idiot dragon's nonsense, he felt that he really had a responsibility and should do something for these people.

There was a sound of footsteps, and then someone pushed the door open and walked in, standing softly behind him.

Lorraine knew that only one person could enter this room at such a time, so he didn't look back, and said, "Ferro, is there something wrong?"

Ferro hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing, sir, it's just that I've prepared all the things you want." ”

Lorraine stretched a big waist and said happily: "Very good, my side is also finished." ”

He counted the days, and then continued: "By the way, tomorrow morning I will be reminded of what I remembered, and it is time to set off." ”

Ferro looked back at what he had placed on the table, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. After mobilizing so many people and tossing for so long, he made such a bunch of strange long paper tubes, and finally couldn't help but say: "Sir, you just want to rely on this thing to slay dragons? Are you really sure this thing is useful?"

Lorraine smiled back, he pointed to his head, and said, "Fellro, human beings can become the spirit of all things, not by body, but by wisdom. Especially when the opponent is still an idiot dragon. But ......"

He looked down at the things, and his tone changed, "But what you said is not unreasonable. I also need to test the power of our epic equipment. ”

After saying that, he casually picked up a large firecracker and walked out the door.

The two of them went to the outside of the castle and picked a place where no one was around, and Lorraine looked around to see that there was no one, and immediately inserted the firecracker into the earth. Then pull out the fire sickle and ignite the fuse.

Seeing that the fuse was burning rapidly, far exceeding his expectations, Lorraine did not dare to slack off, and as soon as he turned around, he ran away.

Before he had run far, he heard a loud 'boom' behind him. Immediately afterward, he felt a wave of qi push hard from behind, and at the same time, a large piece of black dirt grazed his body and flew out far away.

Lorraine glanced back and saw a cloud of black and yellow smoke rising up behind him, straight into the air.

The castle was also startled by the loud noise.

The ordinary people who were planning to eat did not witness the advent of the era of hot weapons, and the glory and pride of this great historical moment rushed out of their homes one by one with their rice bowls. They all shouted: "God, it thunders on a sunny day, what's going on? It's really evil~!"

Ferro was almost stunned by the explosion, and if it weren't for the habit he had cultivated over the years, he would have almost sat on the ground. Rao was like this, he was also frightened, his face was pale, and his lips trembled.

Lorraine patted him on the shoulder and said with a smug face: "How is it? This thing is not bad~!"

Fello came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said, "This ...... It's a good thing, but ......."

He hesitated, then continued, "But sir, don't forget jì, your opponent is a dragon. If nothing else, the scale armor alone is already extremely strong. ”

Lorraine shook her head and said, "Ferro, Ferro." How can you be like a crow who can only report the funeral, you can't say something that makes people happy, for example, young master, I slaughtered the dragon, and then robbed all its treasures, and then everyone lived a happy life together, and no longer had to worry about paying taxes, and the steak meal could also be eaten and thrown away. Girlfriend, we can also buy three at a time, one is responsible for cooking, one is responsible for cooking, and one is dedicated to washing dishes. ”

Ferro sighed and said, "Sir, the sacred Lorraine family has been inherited for five hundred years, and now I am going to watch his demise. How happy you make me. ”

Lorraine suddenly thought of those girls like 'flowers', and couldn't help but shiver.

He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Ann, Ann." Ferro. You must have a little confidence in me, young master. Although the dragon is indeed quite bullish, don't forget jì, everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and all have weaknesses, even the dragon is no exception. ”

Fello was stunned for a moment, dragons also have weaknesses, which had never been heard of before. He looked at Lorraine suspiciously, but didn't ask any further.

At this time, the tired birds return to their nests, the sun sets, and the sky gradually gets dark.

May 6, 831 in the Julian calendar, sunny.

This day is definitely an unforgettable day for the people of Lorraineburg.

At dawn, Lorraine was already up.

He led his butler and attendants, put on the old ox and broken cart, rode the mule named Ferrari, with the prepared gunpowder, the ancestral sword that had been sharpened in half, a pair of bows and arrows, a bag of rice, and a large bag of Mengsweat medicine, the big killer weapon that Lord Wei had prepared when he was in the rivers and lakes, and set off to slay the dragon.
