Chapter 223: Turning Stones into Alchemy!

"Reload shotguns!"

Violet's primer hasn't been made out for the time being because of sensitivity problems, but it's no problem at all to get a custom paper-wrapped bullet when she retreats.

The Marines quickly bit through the bottom of the paper shell and poured a little gunpowder into the flintlock's medicine pool.

Stuff the remaining fixed paper-wrapped bullet directly from the muzzle into the chamber of the gun, press the bullet with a stabbing rod, and the paper package outside the bullet will push the gunpowder on the wall of the chamber into the bottom of the chamber by the way.

Open the powder pool lid and prepare to fire.

Just a small bullet improvement would allow an elite mortal musketeer to achieve a rate of fire of five to six rounds a minute.

The paper packet stuffed into it when shooting can also seal the gap between the chamber and the bullet, increasing the power of the bullet.

Although the cost of paper is not very cheap now.

The Marines had just loaded the "deck cleaning machine" in their hands with ammunition and set up a formation.

The dozens of red dots on the strategic map had already shattered the bushes and appeared in front of their eyes.

"Hum Hum"

It was dozens of massive, almost human-tall pitch-black boars.

All of them have a pair of scarlet eyes like rubies, and their bodies are made of the same inferior black pottery as a small piggy bank, but they look significantly stronger than the former.

The protruding pig's mouth and fangs are all covered with black enamel, glowing with a metallic cold and hard luster.

Byron had no doubt that he would be hit by such a pile of piggy banks, and he would be robbed of all his pocket money on the spot.

And the most uncomfortable thing is that most of these "adult money pigs" have a few distorted human faces on their wide bodies.

It's like firing pottery, enclosing several humans alive.

In the spiritual vision of the transcendental, it seems that the wails of the dead can be heard directly from them, and they shout: "Change, change, you can't throw away a copper plate"

"Fire! Come all of you into my pockets. ”

The distance between the two sides dictated that there was no room for a three-stage shot, and Byron gave the order to concentrate all the fire.

【Gunner】Wyandott was the first to shoot.

Picking up a heavy musket and pulling the trigger suddenly, the poor performance of the front-loading smoothbore gun could not affect the accuracy of this gunnery expert and Eagle Spirit Warrior.

The one who rushed to the front of the herd of pigs instantly exploded with a glass-sized gun hole in the center of his eyebrows, and then it was "breaking the casserole pattern to the end".

The black pottery body cracked from head to tail, crashed to the ground, shattered into pieces, and exploded into an even more shining silver light.

This was followed by an overwhelming barrage of blazing iron beads.

None of the dozen money pigs in the front row survived, and the "bang" from their bodies was not blood, but countless silver coins.

And the money pig in the back waded through the silver coins that barely reached the calf and continued to charge.

With the distance between the two sides at this time, the Marines had no time to reload.

The other transcendents in the team struck decisively.

The melee profession of Eight Fingers and Alfred is a fist to the flesh, and if one axe (knife) is not enough, another axe (knife) will come.

"Drink, die!"

Bruch, who was heavily armoured, held the heavy steel shield in his hand and burst into a loud shout.

Suddenly activate the [Sun Sacred Sword], turning his steely and tenacious will into the sun.

Blessed to his armor and shield, he was covered in golden light, and his feet were on the ground, charging in reverse.

With the momentum of devastating and decaying, the money pig that rushed in front of him was smashed into powder and silver coins in the sky on the spot.

Jacqueline spread her hands outstretched, as if she was standing in the center of the stage of the art academy, and the high dolphin voice in her mouth soared one after another.

The frequency is adjusted rapidly, and all of them are constrained to the line in front of them.

Click!

As soon as the [sonic bomb] went down, the two adult money pigs buzzed and vibrate, and they only lasted for one breath before they suddenly crumbled into a cloud of gravel.

Gus, on the other hand, has taken illusion to the next level.

With a snap of his fingers, the Phantom Blade turned into a 6-pound bronze cannon, which was the upper limit of his own existential reserves.

Although the caliber of this gun is small, it is not small at all.

The cannon burst into flames, and a cannonball shot out, blatantly emptying a straight line in front of the head.

The last three pigs, led by the largest leader, charged in the direction of Byron and Violet.

There is no need for Violet, the only third-order member of the team, to make a personal move.

Byron's hands shook, and two top-notch murder weapons full of violent aesthetics had appeared in his hands.

At the same time, the inscription was read: "Thorn Rose!" ”

On the surface of the silver-white twin guns, the rose pattern quietly bloomed, the alchemy was activated, and the two guns of one person suddenly shot out a crimson barrage like a rose blooming.

Even the automatic tracking ability was not used, and the two guns and six shotguns, and the six regular bullets instantly exploded the last money pig on the spot.

Shining silver coins were suddenly scattered all over the sky.

The adventuring team that saw this scene couldn't help but lower their guns, and they forgot what they should do next.

Gus's eyes lit up:

"Even if silver is nowhere near as valuable as gold, it depends on the quantity.

The silver coins here should weigh at least a few dozen tons, right?

After melting, even if you cast a dozen 32-pounder guns of sterling silver, it will be more than enough.

I'll have to do it once, brothers. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but leap into the silver coins that were still flowing like a river, and rolled to the left, and then to the right.

The shabby clothes on his body, which he had never been willing to change no matter how much money he had made, were in stark contrast to the shiny silver coins underneath him.

For a miser, who can refuse the temptation to wallow in the pile of money?

Other people actually want to experience it, but in the end, they still have to face and don't put it into action.

Only the gold nugget rat that Byron had brought with him came out of his pocket, squeaked and shoved silver coins into his bulging mouth.

Ever since he set sail for the sea, this guy has been sleeping in his bag until he smells the treasure and he regains his spirits.

Byron stepped forward and picked up a silver coin.

It was repeatedly confirmed that this was not some hallucination caused by the secret realm, nor was it something else that looked like a silver coin, but a solid silver coin.

Just landed on the island and had this kind of big harvest, which made people really have to be surprised.

"It's just that they look like coins minted from different countries and at different times.

But there are no traces of use, no stains, no wear, no oxidation, but it looks like 'new money' that has been carefully stored in the vault for a long time.

It doesn't feel like it's coming from the outside world, but rather like it's been minted from silver ingots from this island. ”

This is also evidenced by the subsequent logbook reading of the history they carry.

"And, most strangely, the silver coin is almost 100 percent pure, and there is no other substance at all.

Including the mythril that usually accompanies silver mines, it's just too clean. ”

Somehow, he remembered rule 2: "You must restrain your greed, know what you want from this island, and know how to make trade-offs."

Otherwise, greed will turn your blood into gold. ”

Yes, unless silver is not extracted from silver ore, but artificially prepared in some way, a pure silver element like this will be obtained.

Otherwise, the consumption of the technical process of repeated purification may be much more valuable than the silver itself.

Looking at the journal, the density of solving the mystery of wealth growth quietly advanced from 32% to 45%, confirming his guess.

A thought couldn't help but swell in Byron's heart:

"Maybe this rule of turning blood into gold is not just a metaphor, maybe there really is some kind of stone alchemy on this island that is not known for the time being!

Don't say that a little stone turns into gold, even if it's just a little bit of silver into silver——! ”

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

No matter how high the gold and silver mountains are, there will be a day when they will be used up.

But the methods used to make mountains of gold and silver will never run out.

Perhaps this rule itself is the truth of the [Mystery of Treasure Island's Wealth Growth], and it is also the most precious treasure of the entire Treasure Island!

The treasure that the great pirate Flint had plundered all his life suddenly became unfragrant.

If it weren't for him, he would still need to complete the third-order ritual "Pirate Treasure Chest":

"You have to get through all the difficulties assigned by the other party, and get one of the treasures that best represents the glory of the pirate's life alive in order to complete the promotion.

And can step on the name of his predecessors, inherit part of his legend, and even some kind of extraordinary ability. ”

I'm afraid Byron can't help but shift his goal and devote himself to discovering the secret of stone into alchemy.

Of course, he has always been very sober, even if he is good at turning stones into alchemy, he will still be ranked second compared to his own promotion ceremony.

Without the corresponding power to protect it, no matter how precious the treasure in your hands is, it will only be easily taken away by others.

Throw the silver coin that holds a big secret back into the pile of money on the ground.

Then he looked at a piggy bank that was shattered and only half of a distorted face remained.

The moving piggy banks were too fast for him to have time to check the information on them.

[Grotesque Money Pig]:

"Composition: greedy human souls, clay, silver coins.

Silver coins are the cheapest treasure on the island.

Some greedy people who don't know what to do are blinded by lust, forget the taboos of the island, and are reluctant to throw away even a small silver coin at the last moment.

In the end, he could only throw his own life.

Taboo: Hand over your pocket money!

As long as you still have silver coins on your body, you will be attacked by them wildly, and only by throwing away your pocket money can you be safe. ”

And that's not all.

The Logbook also read further information from these souls who died of greed.

"Rule 4: Equivalent exchange:

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

The substances that a person can take from Treasure Island, including water, food, treasures, etc., must not be higher than his own weight.

Otherwise, he will become a part of the Treasure Island in any of the characters depicted in the fairy tales of Silarafuja.

Note: It is not determined when the island sinks, but is triggered the moment you have the idea of leaving the island and going back. ”

Byron thought of the endless beauty in the fairy tales of the country of Silarafuja:

Roast suckling pig, roast goose, and chocolate house may all come from those predecessors, and I couldn't help but shudder.

"Traps are everywhere.

The rules of controlling greed originally referred to this, if you don't know why, you take away more than the load, and if you don't put your mind to it, you will die a miserable death.

Becoming part of the treasure yourself. ”

For a successful adventure, prudence, courage, force, luck, intelligence, and so on are all indispensable.

At the beginning, the three rules left by the great pirate Flint were only the basic tips for landing on the island, but they were far from the whole story.

Although the adventurers who came after them failed to continue to piece together the complete Treasure Island taboo, they became part of the taboo themselves.

If the latecomers want to move forward, they can only "learn a lesson" from them.

If the adventurer, prophet, or naturalist in the party is not good enough to decipher the rules that go one step further.

What they face is most likely to be an inadvertent annihilation.

Of course, the stronger the strength, the higher the fault tolerance.

Throw the "Kraken Touch" over, and there will be no taboos.

And once all the rules can be fully obeyed and even used, even an ordinary person has a faint chance of surviving from the most powerful grotesque and evil spirits.

Byron was about to share the information he had received with his companions, when he suddenly heard a frolicking movement in his ears, and realized that Gus was working again.

This guy didn't know where to actually catch a roast suckling pig that could run on its own.

The piglets are roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, steaming hot, exuding an attractive aroma.

He opened his mouth wide and aimed at the butt of the roast suckling pig to gnaw down.

"Treasure Island really understands me, and I happen to be hungry.

Come on, come on, I'll show you a pig with three mouths! ”
