Chapter 10 Naval Swords and Repeating Pistols
"My God......"
When Katrina saw the huge, ivory-white ship, she was almost speechless in astonishment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Well, I said you'd like it, right?"
Leah grinned.
"Well, I like it, I like it very much, I can't dream of sailing the seas in such a big ship. Looks like I'm going to have to retract what I said about you, Leah. You're not crazy, and if there was such a ship, I was confident that it would go anywhere in the sea. β
Katrina nodded her head like a chicken, and although she had thought that the boat that Leah was going to take her to see would be incredible, what she saw was still far beyond her expectations.
"Come, let's get on board. β
Leah waved her wand and led her and Katrina to the deck of the ship.
After that, Catrina saw an inexhaustible source of water, vines that would bear fruit, and a hull that would repair itself.
"I have to say that this ship is much better than I ever imagined. It has two fatal drawbacks, though. β
After visiting the entire ship, Katrina said solemnly.
"Tell me?"
Leah wanted to know the old captain's opinion.
"First of all, we're going to fight, and although I don't know the real purpose of this trip, it's definitely a battle, isn't it?
Secondly, Leah, it's a shame that a ship without rum is like a human without a soul. β
Katrina said solemnly.
"Okay...... Let's talk about rum first, if you don't recommend magic products......"
After hearing Catherina's words, Leah waved her wand with a smile, and a wine bottle appeared in the air.
"It should satisfy you. β
She handed the bottle to Katrina.
"Gollum...... It's the best wine I've ever had. Well, with it, why should I even think about filling this ship with a bunch of barrels. By the way, you can conjure up food, right?"
Katrina took a sip, her eyes lit up.
"Package you are satisfied. Now, we can go and look at weapons. β
Leah swung her staff, and a blue light enveloped her and Katrina, and the next moment, they were already in the weapons workshop.
"Teleportation, I've heard your story. β
Catrina watched in amazement, a second before they were on the Belleluye, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were on land, feeling the scorching heat characteristic of the blacksmith's shop.
"Leah, you're here!"
"Yo, welcome to our territory, little miss. β
Jessica and Rowan walked up and said.
"These two are Rowan Rowant and Jessica Rowant. This is Katrina, our captain. β
Leah introduced each other to each other.
"I'm here to show Katrina our weaponry. β
"That's easy to say, come, let's take a look at the sword here first!"
Rowan led Katrina to a row of shelves.
"This is a naval sword with a handle of 23 centimeters and a sword body of 52 centimeters. Ideal for fighting in cramped cabins and decks, it looks like a rapier, but aside from the tip of the sword, it has only one side of the blade, a back up to 10 mm thick enough to weigh enough for slashing, and a huge counterweight ball to balance the blade without diminishing the precision of the stab. How's it going, are you satisfied?"
Rowan pulled out a sword from the shelf, used it to easily cut off the stake used to test the knife, and then pierced a piece of iron sheet to the heart.
β......β
Katrina didn't speak, she drew her sword, looked at the notches and rust marks on it, and threw it in the trash can as she sheathed a sword of the same size from the shelf.
"Hahaha, interesting woman! Okay, it's yours!"
Rowan laughed and happily gave the weapon to the girl.
"And then there's this, look, it's me who made the musket. β
Immediately afterward, Jessica beckoned Catrina to the other side of the research room, which was a little less rough than Rowan's blacksmith's shop, a little more delicate, and a little more mysterious about magic.
"Look! this is the musket I made!"
Jessica said, holding up a short spear. The sea was rough and windy, so pirates usually did not like to use crossbows that were easily blown off, and opted for muskets, which were not very easy to use on the continent of Ivete.
Bang!
"It doesn't look any different, except it's pretty. β
After a test shot, looking at the marks on the target, Katrina said.
"No, no, no, if you pull the trigger one more time, you'll see how different this gun is. β
Jessica smirked her finger.
Bang!
So Katrina fired another shot, and the projectile hit the target accurately. It wasn't the same as the first shot, but it was enough to make Catrina stunned as she looked at the weapon in her hand.
Let's talk about the disadvantages of muskets on the continent of Evette - first, gunpowder relies on gunpowder grass, which is a fire-rich potion that makes gunpowder much more expensive to manufacture than on Earth. Second, basically all muskets were flintlock muskets, and they were the kind that required a single reload after a single shot.
"This gun can shoot continuously!?"
Katrina's expression was wonderful. With the exception of gnomes and goblins, who have vanished, only the dwarves still have the ability to fire guns. And before her eyes, Jessica recreated the technique.
"Clockwork revolver. For each bullet, pulling the wheel to reload the next bullet turns the rear clockwork in one turn. After all 8 bullets are loaded, link the barrel to the chamber, cover the locking mechanism, and pull the hammer to fire.
When the trigger is pulled, a small piece of magic crystal on the internal hammer hits the Mithril rod and conducts mana to a small flame magic array inside the chamber, which releases sparks, triggering gunpowder in the chamber to shoot the projectile...... Finally, the clockwork mechanism returns the hammer to its position and turns the runner to load the next projectile. β
Jessica gushed on and on about how the gun worked.
To be honest, if it weren't for the need for Mithril and Gunpowder Herb that prevented mass production, this musket might have changed the landscape of war on the continent of Ivete. But even so, Leah decided to equip it with every sailor on the BΓ©ruille. It's a big adventure, and anyone needs to be as good as they can be.
As for Katrina, you can see how much she likes these weapons by the fact that she took three guns in a row and stopped putting them at her waist.
"Now that we're getting fit, let's take a look at the weapons on board. β
Pistols and swords, as well as sailor axes and scimitars, were all weapons for the warriors. And for the ship itself, the BΓ©ruille needs some more exaggerated "toys". (To be continued.) )
