Chapter 28: See You Again
85_85536 That's the case, William's education in armament is already first-class in this era. However, it is slightly lacking in cultural education...... Of course, just by reading the information in his mind, William felt that his own scientific knowledge was a hundred times stronger than that of the soil buns of this era.
However, sitting on the mountain and eating the old book is not in line with his positive and enterprising spirit. What's more, too much knowledge he has mastered is completely dragon slaying in this era. In the case that basic industry, materials science, and metallurgy have not developed to that point, the modern knowledge in William's stomach is of no use at all.
In addition, William knew that the world he was in now had begun to sprout an industrial revolution. There was also a slight breakthrough in mechanics and metallurgy. The pocket watch at his bedside, and the short-barreled firearm that he couldn't find, all indicated the future direction of the world.
Roughly, it is no different from the world where William originally existed. However, in terms of details, in terms of development speed, the development speed of this world is much slower than the world where William was originally located.
Mainly because the traditional power of this world is much stronger than the world where William was originally located. The faith of the Lord of Radiance, which is exceptionally strong in the world,
Although the power of the church indirectly raised the level of education, it at the same time strictly inhibited the development of science.
At the same time, the supernatural power of this world also limited the development of primitive black powder weapons. Not to mention dragons, unicorns, griffins and other things that originally only appeared in myths and legends, let's talk about William's father, Baron Otto. When this kendo master talked about gunpowder weapons, he also looked disapproving.
But of course, Baron Otto did have the ability to disagree - not to mention the hit rate and range of gunpowder weapons in this era, and their power was not as powerful as William thought. A kendo master like Baron Otto would never be disappointed in the face of a volley surrounded by hundreds of musketeers from all sides. Under the infusion of fighting energy, all iron can also cut gold and jade, and the long sword can protect the body with it in hand. With a vindictive spirit, dynamic vision is also enough to see through the trajectory of the projectile.
Therefore, if Baron Otto and hundreds of musketeers were to go head-to-head, the outcome would be absolutely miserable. After a volley of musketeers, Baron Otto had absolutely nothing to do, and the ground was absolutely full of lead bullets that had been cut in half by the sword and even melted by the fighting spirit. After that, before they could reload their ammunition, they would be charged into the array by Baron Otto, and then killed them all with one sword.
"So, you guys were able to kill that centaur shaman before, and to put it bluntly, it was just luck. That guy's own ability is not too strong, it's about the same as an ordinary centaur, but it's just a bit of a mess. That's why you killed me with a musket.
In fact, this time, there were no powerful characters in the centaur who came with Huntaiji. Uncle said that there wasn't even a guy in it who had awakened the seed of power. The two guys who lead the way are pretending to be ghosts and smiling shamans. This is a fall from the sky, and it has cheapened yours for nothing. Is...... If I had been there at the time, I would have been better than you. ”
In the dining room, in the absence of outsiders, William, William's father, Baron Otto, and William's cousin Charlumie, who had just returned from an inspection of his family's domain.
Nominally a year older than William, but in reality only twenty-eight days of blood, Charlumi von Hereford, was a close relative of Baron Otto and the daughter of his cousin, Earl Ecker. Although the start of Baron Otto, who was almost self-made with only a knighthood, was much stronger, Count Ecker's luck and ability were not as good as those of Baron Otto.
More than ten years ago, the war on the Great Frontier spread quickly, and it completely burned the ambition of this little earl, along with his life, his two hundred cavalry private soldiers, and his castle. This qiē was crushed by the iron hooves of the centaur. Charlumi then lost her parents, family and a peaceful, peaceful life.
After this, without the protection of his parents, Charomi should have ended up no different from the ordinary small nobles who had lost their land, or fell down after the few remaining possessions were exhausted, or were married to the merchant nouveau riche who coveted his title and wanted to enter the aristocratic class, as an ornament and a vase to decorate themselves.
However, the unfortunate Charlumi has a lucky ending. Her cousin, Baron Otto, sheltered her. As a hero in the Great Frontier War, Baron Otto has much higher appeal and influence than his title. After offending a few nobles and wealthy merchants who coveted Xia Lumi's territory and origin, Xia Lumi was safe, and after the Great Frontier War, she took back a piece of Qiē that should have belonged to her. Possessions, castles, and territories.
For this, Charlumie was unusually grateful to Baron Otto. As his ward, Charlumi spent much longer in the Barony of Hereford than she had in her own domain.
For Baron Otto's behavior full of morality and humanity, the outside world's evaluation of this is overwhelmingly positive.
Of course, there are also some people who are born with dark psychology and use conspiracy theories to explain this matter with malicious intentions. Charunmi's help is seen as an attempt to annex the territory of her kind. Placing her in her home for protection was interpreted as house arrest.
The naturally dark-hearted fellows claimed that soon Baron Otto would make the decision to marry his son, William, to Charlumie. Justifiably merging the two Hereford families into one.
But of course, William, as a party, didn't believe in this rumor at all.
This is not only because his father, Baron Otto, is a middle-aged man of literature and art who likes to be sad and sad, and he has that kind of hero complex in his bones, and he would never do such a thing - in fact, in the past ten years, his father Baron Otto has never mentioned such a thing to him. There is no undue publicity about this.
And in addition, William himself doesn't like this cousin of his too much......
Of course, if it's annoying, this Cheng dù is also a bit too much. But the feelings of "dislike" and "feeling awkward" are still taken for granted, and they are very high.
It's not because Charlumi isn't pretty, smart enough, or good enough. On the contrary, it was because Charlumi was so beautiful, too smart, and too good that William always had a very awkward feeling when he was with him...... What's worse is that Xia Lumi never knows what it means to hide and what it means to accept it when she sees it.
Charlumie's sharp eyes, stubborn temper, and habit of speaking without saving face at all are as impressive as the black hair and black eyes that she inherited from the Hereford family, fair skin, and stunning beauty.
In the old William era, her cousin Charlumie was always bullying William - at least William felt that she was bullying herself by doing the things she did - although Charlumie herself claimed that it was as an older sister, urging William to study hard and make him study hard every day.
And now, after William's promotion and strengthening, although he thinks that he has an advantage over this fifteen-year-old girl. But because of the previous memory and psychological influence, after seeing her again, he was still a little awkward in his heart, and he had a feeling that he couldn't stretch away.
"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Hearing Charlumi comment on his "great achievements", William was obviously unhappy: "What you said is quite light, but it is a centaur." The opponent first used witchcraft to stun, and then used bows and arrows to disrupt. In the end, the centaur cavalry assaulted and broke through the shield formation in one fell swoop. In that case—"
"--well, well, you haven't seen each other for two months, and you're a lot bolder, and you deserve praise and praise—but your success is still lucky, there's no doubt about that. Charlumi interrupted William with a smile, still looking nonchalant and indifferent.
"It's not like that at all, gunpowder weapons are much more important than you think!" William was interrupted and looked very dissatisfied: "How many monsters like my father in the world can easily cut off the lead bullets that come at you!? Among the reserve knights in the world, how many of them can really awaken the power seed? Can there be one out of ten? And how many of these people who have awakened the power seed can become great knights, and how many can become knight mentors?" By the same token, the clergy, and the centaur shamans, have very few ways to deal with gunpowder weapons, do they?"
After this, William had to say more about the deterrent power of gunpowder weapons, the direction of development, and the benefits of convenient training. But his words were interrupted by Charlumi again:
"But the problem is, these guys don't have that much guts. "If it's a knight, even if he is given a stick, he will be able to defeat an enemy with a blade and heavy armor." On the contrary, if it is an ordinary soldier, no matter how well armed they are, they will not be able to defeat a knight enough. ”
"We can train, we can train a group of troops that are very different from all the armies in the world right now. An army that uses gunpowder weapons. William still said unrelentingly.
"Ah, whatever you want. Perhaps, after you go to battle with such an army and are defeated without any suspense, I will take my knights to save your life. Charlumi still looked indispensable, which made William angry enough
