The first session of the Great Council lasted for more than a month, and at the end of it, Solomon finally didn't have to report to Congress every day and sit there arguing with people or waiting to argue with people.

In this way, he finally had time to find himself in Cecilia's Magic Tower, where Agatha now had access to a small real room, which meant that she could apply for a project from her teacher and take charge of it independently.

"Solomon, why are you here?" Agatha appeared in front of him, Solomon hadn't seen her in a while, since he had arranged something for her to do to try and study the fusion magic firearms.

Solomon came now, firstly, to meet her, and more importantly, to see if she was making progress, but he did not have much hope, because this matter was undoubtedly not easy, he just thought that Agatha had always been very clever, and might be able to find some right direction with flexible thinking.

It stands to reason that Solomon's arrival should have surprised Agatha, surprise is surprise, but Solomon also keenly felt that her expression was a little unnatural.

When he asked if there had been any progress in the matter, the unnaturalness in Agatha's expression intensified, and she suddenly whispered as if she had made up her mind: "This matter has been discovered by my teacher. ”

Solomon was slightly stunned, but it was nothing to find out, sooner or later Cecilia would know.

But Agatha felt quite weak, because Solomon had told her to study in secret, and it was better not to let her teacher know, but now it felt like a smashing pot.

Fortunately, there is still a place to atone for his sins, and Agatha hurriedly said: "But there is some progress. ”

Solomon was overjoyed, and was about to ask again. Suddenly, the voice of Cecilia walking in came from outside: "Solomon." You've come just in time. Did you ask Agatha to study this?"

Cecilia walked in, and took a huge guy in her hand, really quite huge, shaped like a dwarf's firearm, but it was several times bigger, and it would be quite difficult to hold it in her hand, fortunately, Cecilia was a high-level mage, although the high-level mage could not compare to a warrior in terms of physical strength alone. But it is also stronger than ordinary people, and can increase auxiliary spells such as strength and stamina for yourself.

"Succeeded?" said Solomon Huo Ran with a surprised look.

"You mean this big guy?" Cecilia sneered, "It can be considered a success or a failure. ”

Cecilia stuffed this successful and unsuccessful work into Solomon's hand, and it was so heavy that Solomon hurriedly exerted a brute force on himself to be able to watch it carefully in his hand.

Then, with Cecilia's explanation, Solomon understood why this thing was both a success and a failure, and by the way, even Agatha's research process during this time.

It would have been impossible to succeed, Agatha though smart. But if you want to achieve your goal with this little spirituality, you can only fail again and again.

When Agatha thought of a new direction to try. But because of one or two key points, she couldn't go on, although she had some wonderful ideas, but the foundation was still a little immature, and good ideas were still not enough.

So she had to try to disturb Cecilia, hoping to get help.

Cecilia also felt a little strange about her question after answering it for her, and then checked Agatha's recent application for consumables, although she has always been generous, and she has always responded to the needs of the disciples who are already qualified to be in charge of the project independently, but the consumables that Agatha, a disciple who has just begun to be responsible for independently, also surprised her by the consumables applied for during this time, because the consumables she has consumed during this time are close to a large project, even if it is a waste of newcomers, this is a bit excessive.

After carefully identifying the list of consumables that Agatha had applied for, she found that it was quite different from the consumables that should be used in the project she applied for when she was assigned to the real room, which meant that Agatha was using the teacher's convenience to study something else.

Smuggling is okay, Cecilia likes Agatha very much anyway, but what exactly Agatha is doing arouses her further curiosity.

At this time, Agatha failed again, was in a state of frustration, felt incompetent, and could not handle even a "little thing" that Solomon had told him.

Cecilia secretly observes her disciple's research, and only shows up to expose it after she fails.

However, instead of punishing Agatha, she became interested after learning what Agatha was studying.

With Cecilia's participation, and after many failures, it was only after many failures that there was something that Romana saw now.

Named the "Cecilia-Agatha Prototype Gun", this giant creature is an offensive weapon that combines mechanics and magic, and it achieves the direction that Solomon needs, and is the effect of the fire bolt's attack and magic.

Cecilia actually experimented with several directions in making magic guns, and now in front of Solomon, this one is the closest to Solomon's requirements, that is, it can attack like an ordinary firecracker, and can also attach magical power.

The secret lies in the bullet and the body of the gun, and the reason why this magic gun is so huge is that there are more complex magic patterns set up inside, forming a broken magic array.

There are two paths for bullets to enter the gun, one is used to fire normal bullets, and the other bullet will pass through the path where the magic circle is set up.

The bullet with the magic effect will be specially made, with the part of the magic pattern that the magic array is missing, so when the magic bullet enters the gun body through the special way guò, the two parts of the magic pattern will be complete, and will be immediately combined into a complete spell model, at this time, as long as the magic power stored in the gun body or the gun holder itself provides enough source power to the model, then the bullet will become a temporary carrier of the spell model, and produce a spell effect after being shot.

This is in line with Solomon's original conception that the combination of machinery and magic can add magic effects, but at the same time, it can also be used only as a firebolt without activating the magic effect addition, and because Cecilia came up with a double channel in order to solve this problem, by the way, the firebolt has developed from the front-loading era to the backloading era, which means that the fire-gun has greatly increased its firing speed.

However, the cost is also quite high, the carrier of the part of the magic pattern fixed in the gun body is made of mythril and some other materials, and the magic bullet also needs mythril to carry another part of the magic pattern, and it is not enough to have a spell model without a source force. Although it is also possible for the wielder to supply the mana himself. But if there is another purpose for Solomon. Even if the mana is quite poor, it can be used, or if the mana is insufficient, it can be used by the combination of the gun and bullets, then the gun body should provide the source power or provide a part of the source power as a support.

In this case, the backup source power in this gun can only be the magic crystal, because only the magic crystal can provide high-energy mana.

Therefore, if nothing else, just the above two parts add up, and you know that the cost of this gun is not low.

"Is there no way to increase the power or replace the additional magic effects?" asked Solomon, rubbing his hand around.

Cecilia gave him a blank look. "Absolutely, but it will cost more. ”

In the case of this magic gun made now, the broken magic patterns engraved in its magic magazine are relatively fixed, and after fitting the magic patterns on the Mithril bullet, a fixed low-level spell scorching ray will be formed, and its power is similar to that of a pure fire gun without enchantment, but the cost paid for this is obviously inappropriate.

Therefore, in terms of cost performance, if magic guns can only play low-level attack spell effects, then most of them are not cost-effective. It's better to use the firecracker directly.

To be cost-effective, a magic gun must be able to fire a variety of bullets with different enchantment effects in a single gun. Or hit a bullet with a mid-level or higher spell effect to be worthy of the materials used.

Having a mid-level or higher spell effect means that the spell model will be more complex, and increasing consumables is the simplest consequence, unless you can offset this increase in other ways, it means an increase in cost; , you need to prepare multiple different magic magazines to fold and mount on the gun body, or make the magic patterns in the same magic magazine extremely compatible. But either way, it means an increase in costs.

"And, so far, I can only guarantee that I can design a gun and bullet with a mid-level spell effect, and if a high-level spell were to be loaded into a gun, I guess this guy in your hand would probably become so big. Cecilia opened her hands and made a gesture of hugging.

Solomon was amused by her, it was a cannon.

It's not impossible, but he still tries his best to achieve it on the gun.

"Is there no other way? This thing you made has successfully taken the first step, and I hope that the ultimate goal is that magic guns with medium and low spell effects can be mass-produced, and high-level spell effects, even legendary spell effects, can be produced in a limited amount. Solomon said.

"Your ambitions are great, but so far, your hopes will be in vain. In terms of cost, I can also think of some methods, for example, if the required enchantment effect is single, and give up multiple effects, I can calculate the consumables required for the magic magazine more accurately, and reduce the cost by carrying more dense magic patterns, and maybe I can find some cheaper materials to replace some of them in the future, but Mithril is essential. ”

"But if you have to carry a more powerful spell effect, the cost is secondary, you have to do it first, you think about the magic patterns required for a high-level spell effect, you have to concentrate in a small magazine. Cecilia frowned, "The area required will only get bigger and bigger, not to mention the legendary spells, God, I don't even know how to put it in, if you ask for a variety of effects to be replaced, it is even more unimaginable, even if it is made as big as I just said, it is not enough, far from enough." ”

"Teacher, perhaps, we could consider carving a composite magic array in the magazine?" Agatha hesitated.

"Compound Magic Circle, oh, yes, that's a good idea. Cecilia said happily. (To be continued......)
