"What is this?" Lynn looked curiously at the black powder Claire took out, sniffed it, and dipped her finger in it curiously, ready to taste it.

"This can't be eaten." Claire hurriedly grabbed her hand and stopped her from putting her fingers in her mouth.

Originally, she came to find Bella, but when she saw Lin, Claire was a little helpless and had a headache.

This little Lori doesn't know what evil she has committed, since Claire sent a magic detection device that day, Lin and Bella have become inseparable.

At first, Claire was quite happy, thinking that it was a good thing that little Lori didn't pester him.

But gradually, Claire realizes that something is wrong, especially every time Bella comes to teach him magic, and little Lori is staring at him, he realizes what happened.

Good guy, it seems that this little Lori has misunderstood something, and thinks Bella is her rival in love?

However, even if she realizes this, Claire can only pretend not to know. He is not very experienced in how to deal with this kind of thing, so he took the initiative to explain to Lori, and the misunderstanding may be even deeper, and he feels that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

Seeing that Bella didn't care, she seemed to get along well with Little Lori, so Claire didn't have to do anything more.

I hope that Baron Linde will send someone as soon as possible and take the little Lori away is the right way.

Now there are some bad rumors in the territory, saying that the lord eloped with his fiancée, and his fiancée is still a child or something.

If this spreads, it will be terrible, not to mention the reputation of little Lori, even his reputation will be affected.

He didn't have much reputation left, and he couldn't stand this kind of toss.

Seeing that little Lori still couldn't help but want to try the taste, Claire hurriedly explained.

"This is called art!"

"Art?" Lynn and Bella looked at each other and asked in unison.

"Someone once said that exploding is an art." Claire explained, realizing that they probably didn't understand, and added. "Ah, this thing is called gunpowder, and its function is to cause an explosion."

Explosions are no stranger to magicians, as a profession of daily fireball rubbing, they have witnessed thousands of fireball explosions, and they are almost accustomed to it.

Thinking of Claire's statement that the explosion is art, Bella still agrees very much, there are still many things in common between magicians and painters who engage in art. It's just that one of the works is a spell and the other is a painting.

"You're saying this thing can cause an explosion?"

"Yes." Claire smiled smugly, but almost broke out in a sweat when she saw the faint fire rising from Bella's hand.

"Wait! This one can't touch the fire. ”

"Oh." Bella just wanted to compare the power of the fireball explosion with this so-called gunpowder explosion, and after hearing Claire's words, the fire in her hand disappeared instantly.

Bella confidently looked at the black gunpowder and asked softly.

"So this gunpowder will explode when it encounters fire?"

Claire wiped the sweat from her forehead, and glanced at Bella with palpitations, how can the magicians of this world be so reckless, how can they not agree with each other is the fireball technique. Although the amount of gunpowder taken out was not very large, it was enough to blow up the entire room.

Claire and Bella are both professionals, and this kind of explosion is injured at most, but little Lori is still an ordinary person, in case she is killed, Baron Linde is really a situation of endless death.

"Yes, that's why it's called gunpowder. I know you're all curious about its power, so it's okay, let's just go outside and do an experiment. ”

Claire said as she put away a packet of gunpowder on the table and walked out the door.

After a loud "boom", watching the boulder be blown into several pieces and fly around, Bella made a very high opinion of the gunpowder.

"There is the power of the second-order magician fireball technique, which is enough to be used in actual combat. Is this gunpowder difficult to make? ”

"It's not difficult, it's not expensive, and it can be produced quickly and on a large scale." Claire is quite proud of her masterpiece.

"Is that so?" Bella's eyes lit up at once, and she quickly understood what that meant.

"Congratulations, you have a weapon that makes ordinary soldiers a threat to the professional. However, the shortcomings of this gunpowder are also obvious, the preparation time required is too long, and the killing of professionals in actual combat is relatively limited. ”

Bella's evaluation was quite objective, and she could see at a glance the disadvantages of gunpowder if it was only used as an explosive.

However, Bella didn't know that the difference between gunpowder and her imagination was quite big. First, as long as the amount of gunpowder is enough, the power of the explosion will be greater, and when the time comes, maybe the high-level professionals will be startled when they are caught off guard.

Second, it is the role of gunpowder, not only for explosions, but also for making various weapons, such as firearms. That's the scariest thing about gunpowder.

Of course, Claire didn't have to explain to Bella, she just wanted Bella to show her gunpowder for the purpose of making gunpowder with those magic apprentices.

As for whether the formula for gunpowder will be leaked, Claire is not worried.

In a short period of time, there is no possibility of leaking secrets, and every magic apprentice is under his control. As for Bella, with the power of gunpowder that Claire is showing now, she is only interested in a true magician.

The vast majority of magicians in this world still rely on their own magical strength after all, rather than having some strange genres like in his previous life.

The reason why she chose to come up with a rather backward gunpowder instead of a higher-end magic guide technology, Claire also has her own difficulties.

Those who are afraid of attracting attention are all trivial, the main thing is that the materials needed for those magic guide weapons seem to be rotten in the previous life, but in this world, there are really expensive items, and even the treasure trove of the Hart family is not much.

No matter how powerful weapons and equipment are, if they can't be mass-produced, they are basically equal to nothing.

Before he has enough resources, Claire can only choose to use gunpowder to make a transition, so that his army has the combat power to crush other lords in the short term.

By the time those lords learned gunpowder, Claire should have enough resources to start the era of magical weapons, and they could still form a dimensionality reduction blow to them.

"This is the recipe for gunpowder, and some precautions when refining." Claire handed a scroll and several books to Bella. "As for these books, they were once given to me by a great magician about magical knowledge, and I hope that after you read them, you will be able to teach them to those apprentices.

Oh, by the way, if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me, I've memorized these books like a lot. ”
