Liu Ergou stretched out a finger, dipped it in the pot, and then put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's pretty sweet."

After giving such an evaluation, Liu Ergou casually handed the pot to the people around him.

"It smells like a tree fruit" is Elanster's assessment.

"Honey must have been added," says the honey master Hoffmann.

"I don't eat much honey, I can't taste it," Buffex smacked his lips and shook his head.

"The tongue is a little numb and crispy....." This one comes from the little emir who joined in the fun.

"You ...... I...... Ahh Looking at the pile of people in front of her who were sassing the ointment she had made, Drith was almost crazy!

"It's a healing ointment! Ointment! The kind of ointment that is applied externally! It's not for you to eat as candy! As soon as she snatched her treasure ointment back, Drith wanted to cry without tears.

"It's none of my business", "The boss ate it first", "I thought it was a new variety of honey that the boss found", "It's really crispy, eh......"

Indeed, if it weren't for Liu Ergou being taken off topic from the beginning, most of the others would not have done this kind of thing of sending ointment to their mouths.

Looking at the culprit in front of him who was pretending to be stupid, Drith couldn't wait to kick him out.

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Drissy barely suppressed the urge to kill Liu Ergou and handed over the pot again.

"This is one of the results of my work with Avril Lavril in the past few days, and I haven't thought of a name yet, anyway, it's for healing."

"Heal? When will honey heal wounds? Is it any better than Miss Avril's healing spell? Hoffman on the side hadn't recovered from the honey yet, and couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard it.

Drissy glanced at Hoffman, "The last time you and Bert went to the woods to find honey, were you injured?" ”

Injure? Didn't you just get stung by a bee a few times? Liu Ergou also looked back at Hoffman, only to find that he did have a few bandages wrapped around his back.

Being watched by Liu Ergou, Hoffman was also a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed to explain: "Bert, that kid wasn't chased and stung by bees, so I ran out with him." ”

"As a result, we both rolled down the slope with an empty foot on the way, and I landed on the ground first, so my back was scratched by a stone."

Oh, Liu Ergou nodded. No wonder Bert's kid just came to get some medicine for the sting, but Hoffman fell so badly.

I think it was Hoffman who protected Bert and used him as a bear meat pad. I can't see that this guy is quite protective of his subordinates.

"Then you haven't gone to Avril for treatment for so long?"

"It's not like Avril and Drissy have been in the house all the time, and I can't find anyone," Hoffman spread his hands.

"Okay, now you've found someone." Drissy walked over to Hoffman with the pot, "Untie the bandage, and lie down on this table." ”

"Huh? But the wound hasn't ...... yet" "If you want to untie it, I'll open it, and I'll have my own way." ”

Hoffman glanced at Liu Ergou with an embarrassed face, and when he saw him nodding, he lay on the table and untied the bandage behind his back.

Indeed, although with the tough physique of the Bell Bears, these injuries were not serious for Hoffman; But looking at the open wound, Liu Ergou couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"It's okay, I don't know if this thing hurts, if it hurts, you can bear with it first. Avril, come and help me get my medication! ”

After saying that, Dries and Avril took out the ointment from the pot one by one, and began to apply it to Hoffman's wound!

"Huh! Tap Tap! My wound doesn't hurt yet...... Why doesn't it hurt? As soon as Dries and Avril made their move, Hoffman screamed like a pig.

However, after only one scream, Hoffman found that except for the cold touch of the ointment, the wound was not as painful as he imagined, but still numb and crispy, and a little itchy.

Hoffman closed his eyes, honestly lay on the table, and began to enjoy.

Hoffman is comfortable, and the onlookers behind him are very scared! Liu Ergou saw with his own eyes that as soon as the ointment was applied, Hoffman's wound began to close!

The muscles on both sides stretched out countless flesh buds, squirming and joining together, and in a short time the wound was closed!

Looking at Hoffman's recovery speed, everyone was a little numb. First, this scene is really a bit horrified, and second, the effect of the ointment is really shocking.

After applying ointment to all the wounds, it took less than five minutes for Hoffman's wounds to close and even a new layer of pink skin had grown on the surface!

Looking at it this way, as long as he recuperates for another three or two days, Hoffman's injury will be fully recovered!

"How? My ointment is magical! Dress crossed her waist like a housekeeper, and pointed at the crowd rather proudly.

"Look at you one by one, it's still 'sweet', 'fruity' and 'crispy', it's really a tyrannical thing! My ointment is so amazing, it is actually eaten as sugar by you! ”

"Especially you, Bufax! Can you still taste it? What a waste of my good medicine! ”

You said that this thing was applied externally, why are you complaining that I can't eat it now? Buffax pouted, but didn't say anything.

After all, as a qualified commander, Bufax knew quite well what a huge effect this ointment could make!

"Pretty magical!" Liu Ergou couldn't help but applaud. While clapping his hands, he did not forget to compliment the arrogant Miss Delise; "Miss Drissy is amazing! With such technology, I really admire it! ”

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!" Drith suddenly became proud.

Although everyone present knew that it was just joking with each other. But looking at the originally dignified and decent Delisi, now like a little girl showing off her proud toy, everyone is still quite helpless.

"Boss, Miss Drith has always maintained a strong self-esteem in the field of research, please understand." Tufaen on the side was also full of apologies, and explained to Liu Ergou in a whisper.

"Out of the way, out of the way." Liu Ergou nodded to Tufaen in understanding.

"Speaking of which" Liu Ergou thought of one more thing, and asked Deliss again: "Your ointment is as white as jade, what happened to the smoke in the room before?" ”

"Oh, that's it." Drith waved her hand nonchalantly. "To make this ointment, we need to use frost leaf grass to catalyze the effect. It's just that frost leaf grass is toxic and must be calcined into dry ash before it can be used as medicine. ”

"The smoke just now is me and Avril burning frost leaf grass ashes. Don't worry, Boudley said he would come and help me install a chimney in a few days, and the smoke wouldn't be so heavy. ”

It's also true, if such a big smoke comes out in three days, then Avril will have to be smoked into a rabbit sooner or later, and Liu Ergou will still feel distressed! After thinking about it, Liu Ergou habitually turned his head and instructed Erantst on the side: "You can implement this matter and help that kid from Budley repair the chimney as soon as possible, no matter what, the working environment still has to be guaranteed......"

But he didn't want Ellanster to wave his hand, "No, I have to strengthen the city wall with Abel during this time, I really don't have time, boss, you can find someone else!" ”

"Then Bufax, you're in charge......" "I can't either, boss, I still have to watch the forward base!" And Winston has discovered a new hunting ground these days, and I'll have to check it out with him. Bufax didn't have time.

"Boss, just go find Bodley yourself." Hoffman scratched his head and said to Liu Ergou.

"I can't either, I've made an appointment with the smelting furnace in the past few days, and I can't pull away." Liu Ergou himself shook his head.

"I'm going to help Brother Boudley!" In the end, it was the well-behaved emir who took the initiative to stand up.

"Hey! It's my grandson, so good! Elantst smiled and took little Emir in his arms.

......

The forging furnace is also one of the several production facilities that were newly built after the renovation of Kitahara Castle.

Originally, at the level of Abel and Boudley, the houses were nothing more than holes in the earth or shacks made of tree branches, and did not require any complicated tools.

But since Driss's people took over the construction work, they found that with the tools they carried, they couldn't meet the scale of construction of Kitahara Castle at all!

Therefore, under the auspices of Ayastun, a large area was set aside under the southeast wall of the northern original city, and a huge smelting furnace was built.

In fact, in addition to the huge furnace, there are many other facilities for carving molds, forging blanks, and finishing in the entire area. It's just that the central melting furnace is so conspicuous that the term "melting furnace" is simply used to refer to the entire area.

The head of the smelting furnace was a Bison bison blacksmith named Hammer, who was accompanying Liu Ergou at the moment, briefing him on the progress of the work here.

“...... To sum up, the existing supply of iron sand can basically meet the forging demand of construction tools. However, the reserves of iron sand are not large, and there are many impurities, and this output is the limit in the current situation. ”

The iron sand that Hammer is talking about is an open-pit iron mine found not far from the castle of Kitahara. Due to years of weathering, most of the ore is scattered on the surface like coarse gravel, so it is called iron sand.

"If we build a well-equipped standing army of about 1,000 men according to the ideas of the adults...... IMHO, the existing production scale should be at least doubled, and the output of iron ore should be increased by at least five times! And that's not counting the demand for several rare ores......"

"yes, I see." Liu Ergou nodded, "In this regard, I will try to think of as many ways as possible." Now you can follow the original plan and prioritize the construction needs of the city! ”

After thinking about it, Liu Ergou asked again: "How is the progress of the research on that batch of waste parts?" ”

The "batch of waste pieces" in Liu Ergou's mouth naturally refers to the discarded guide rails that were shipped back.

"The time for the adults to come, we have already made a trial production of something according to the nature of that batch of raw materials, and please take a look at it!" After Hammer finished speaking, he owed Liu Ergou slightly.

"Okay, you lead the way!" Liu Ergou nodded.

So, under the leadership of Hammer, Liu Ergou walked through a large area of hot forging sites and came to a rather quiet house.

"My lord, this is our refining workshop, and some utensils with special manufacturing requirements will be carefully manufactured here."

"Please come with me." Pushing open the door, Hammer made a "please" gesture.

What appeared in front of Liu Ergou's eyes was a crossbow arrow that was five meters long and thicker than his thigh!

The arrows are extremely smooth and silvery-white, and are made entirely of metal. The body and tail of the arrows are all engraved with an intricate magic array, and the edges of the arrows are also shining with a sharp cold light!

"My lord, this is the charged crossbow arrow we made with that batch of raw materials, which can be fired with the dragon hunting crossbow in the city!"

"Tell me more." Liu Ergou pointed to the giant arrow.

"Yes. Although the batch of materials brought back by the adults cannot be analyzed at all with our process, let alone restore their original fine structure, it is still not a problem to refine them. ”

"This material has excellent magical guiding properties, and when properly processed, special containers made of this material can be used to store mana."

"It's just that the stored mana is very unstable, and it will explode if you are not careful! Originally, we wanted to use this energy storage as an energy source for the Magic Crystal Cannon, but we tried several times and failed. ”

"But then we thought, since it's easy to explode, it seems like a good idea to use it as a bomb? So there is this trial-made charged crossbow arrow! ”

"The whole of this crossbow is a hollow metal tube made of sand iron, and the inside is filled with processed magic guide materials."

"Through the outer magic array, the crossbow bolt can be charged when used, making it full of unstable magical power, and then launched with the dragon hunting crossbow."

"As soon as the bolt hits the target, the unstable mana stored in it will explode instantly! So as to achieve the goal of killing and injuring the enemy. ”

Liu Ergou immediately reacted, this is the *** of another world!

"How's it doing?" After calming down the slightly excited emotions in his heart, Liu Ergou began to ask some key questions.

"It's a pity that my lordship has not tested it yet, and the crossbow arrow that my lord saw is actually the only finished one so far. So whether it is range, accuracy, or lethality, it is currently unknown. ”

"What about capacity? How many of these bolts can be made? ”

"Due to the limited number of magic guide materials as the core energy storage components, according to our estimates, if all the materials are put in, about 100 can be built."

"As for the production speed, since the outer magic array needs to be carved by craftsmen by hand, it can basically produce three pieces per day."

After listening to Hammer's report, Liu Ergou nodded.

Not too surprisingly, this charged crossbow bolt was born entirely out of the scrap pieces, a product of chance.

Such a thing is okay to meet some special purposes, but if it is used as a standing armament, it is far from enough.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou instructed Hammer: "Allocate half of the materials to produce this charged crossbow arrow, and the other half should not be moved yet, maybe there are other uses." ”

"In addition, you can organize some people to study whether you can make crossbow arrows with the same function without using this special material? It doesn't matter if the effect is a little worse, the focus is on mass production. ”

"The matter of weapons and armor...... Let's put it first! The priority is to meet the construction of the city, and this matter is also left to you. I will find a way to solve the problem of iron ore as soon as possible. ”
