"No? well, or no...... In short, if you don't admit it, then there is no zài 啰......"

The Psychic Warlock smiled, leaned his head back mischievously, felt the soft touch on the back of his head, and then watched as Miss Staff finished her massage angrily and stood aside with a cold face.

Of course, even if this topic is debated, it will not come to any conclusion, after all, about the god with a long name, he may have already returned it to the teacher when he graduated from college. Unless there's a search engine, or can you still have a fight?

Unfortunately, that's just a thing of the past, right?

The world with different rules, the subjective world with its own soul, the world where you have struggled but achieved nothing, the world that is imprinted in your own memories and souls...... Or, there's never going back.

He shook his head, sighed softly, and turned his gaze to the tent wall in front of him, as if caught in the distant memory.

Anna Sui was similarly quiet...... The staff lady pursed her delicate and shallow lips, looked at the person in front of her with some attention, watched him sigh and exhale, watched him freeze, and looked a little confused in those brown eyes.

Confused...... Is it?

She was a little incredulous.

It had been around this person for a while, and Anna Sui seemed to have begun to get used to this person, to those strange behaviors, to that ordinary face, and to the affection he inadvertently revealed. But in my memory, the thinking in those eyes was indifferent, cunning, and narrow-minded...... Even outside of her anger, it seemed that it was the first time she had seen such a confused look...... It was something she never thought she would see in those eyes.

This mean, cunning, powerful ...... Monster. Will you be confused?

"Where...... Have you thought about going back?"

"Hmm. Anna Sui replied in a nasal voice.

"Go back to him?"

"When, of course not!" the chatter-like question and answer ended, as if it was finally understood, and the staff lady was startled, and then subconsciously raised her voice.

She shook her head hatefully, as if annoyed by her strange reaction, after a slight silence. She finally made her tone a little firmer: "It's just a little homesick." Father and mother, as well as brother and sister...... Although they are all hypocritical and greedy people, there are still some who want to see them again, want to be around them......"

"Oh. I see. yes, home...... No matter what it looks like, after all, it's a happy thing to be able to see your family. Edward smiled, "Then ......"

"What do you want to say?"

"Huh?" Edward's sudden angry voice made Edward frown.

"You...... From the very beginning, I was just expecting something from me, right? What do you think I'm going to say? Something about him?" the staff lady glared at him fiercely, and a subtle grinding sound came out from between her lips. It seemed that the question had been turned into an affirmation: "The devil without blood and tears!" she cursed in an imperial colloquialism.

But obviously, no matter what kind of vicious curse it is, it will not work for someone whose skin is thick enough to be comparable to the interval between crystal walls. "Ahh The man muttered. There was even a little mournful tone, which made Anna Sui even more angry.

"I'm sorry I didn't stay so stupid!"

Anna Sue gritted her teeth fiercely. I buried in my heart the words that had been prepared about the many problems that the union between the two priests and the goddess could cause. She told herself that she must wait until the guy in front of her is in big trouble, and then face the frustration and fear of this nasty bastard with the coldest smile.

Of course, this little thought can't be hidden from a psychic warlock.

But. Edward didn't bother to break the little curse of Miss Staff, but just pulled his thoughts back to these questions - Belleina and Rose, these two gods and sisters actually have nothing to do with each other. Even if they are willing to achieve a pure love, it is none of his business.

But the question is, what kind of effect does that have on yourself and Burgundy?

Although Rose is insane, she is also the main god of the dark elves, and if Drow can really return to the surface, it will definitely be a decisive force...... But these benefits do not necessarily catch up with the problems.

In this world, there will always be a struggle between gods that is greater than the struggle of nations. Although the personal battle between the gods on the water has long been forbidden by some form of contract, the gods have never ceased to put their hands into this plane, and the priests have acted as agents to instigate countless wars, often even for centuries, and the most acute and straightforward of them is naturally the so-called struggle between good and evil. For example, the god of justice, the god of the sun, or the god of judgment has never been merciless in the crusade of those who are evil.

Originally, the goddess of darkness only belonged to an idle god, the world of gods, strength is the absolute only criterion, like her, who has experienced some kind of catastrophe, and the existence of the god energy has plummeted and almost lost the divine status, usually does not attract any huge attention, but joining forces with Rose, the notorious evil god, cannot be ignored. Once the news leaks, eighty percent will alarm the temples of the so-called righteous side, and under the urging of this kind of righteousness, they will burst out with terrible energy, and they can even use the power of the nobles to directly solicit it, and it seems that it is effortless to fiddle with this group of half-elves who are not loved by their grandmothers and uncles.

But how? Stop?

Of course it is impossible, even if it is a telemagician, it is impossible for a mortal to interfere in the affairs between two gods, even if he gets dozens of times the power.

Of course, it is not impossible to conceal it, anyway, the main god of Drow will not blatantly meddle in the affairs of the ground, and if Bellena has the minimum IQ of a god, at least she will not directly reveal Rose's name, unless they make some obvious moves, it should not cause too many problems for a while.

However, once it is caused, it is an absolutely big problem.

Edward gave a wry smile and couldn't help but sigh again.

If you can. He really wanted to stay away from this kind of trouble as much as possible, but he was stronger than a human, and he wanted to oppose a subordinate of a righteous god, so who could he go to for help without the help of these so-called evil gods?

If you can solve it on your own, maybe it's the best.

Can their own power ...... Is it enough?

A sexist that can manifest a level 6 ability and has an artifact. But there are too many perverts in this world, and he is too unlucky, he can always encounter it, and he encounters either a ** master or a spirit sucking monster, or a lich. Or a variant of the Psicoon Lich...... The most important thing is that the person who wants to be rescued is the latest chapter of the Blazing God Servant Possessed Body Tomb Maze.

If this is the cost of the power you have gained, then the price is really disproportionately frustrating.

What can I do?

Improving yourself may be the safest way. However, when the power has reached today's Cheng Dù, he wants to go further. It's not an easy task.

Alternatively, there are other ways to accumulate power, such as taking control of the kingdom and banishing those who might cause trouble...... It is not uncommon for evil gods not to be forbidden, and it is said that there are even one or two dukedoms in the empire, which are the sinful places where the altar of the god of lies and murder is hidden?

Of course. It's not easy to achieve.

Edward stood up, walked out onto the balcony, and looked at the small, thriving city beneath his feet.

It's good enough, but it will take a long time to reach that kind of power. But now I'm —

The ballista here is the pinnacle of mechanized weapons, and the source of power used is a torsion spring set with two metal bodies on either side of its nose. Each spring set drives a crossbow arm, which ends with a bowstring in the center of which is a woven mesh bag that holds the projectile. In order to make the operation of the winch not too laborious, ratchets are set on both sides of the beam, which can not only make the work of opening the bow not have to be done in one go, but also adjust the projectile force of the weapon, so as to obtain the required range.

This kind of thing, with a range of more than 1,000 feet, is not the farthest range weapon that can be found in this time and space. Catapults and magic can surpass it, but in terms of accuracy, it is undoubtedly already the long-range king of cold weapons, as long as you know a little common sense, you know that no matter how well-designed catapults can only ensure a smaller dispersion range, after all, the net used to throw out stones is really unreliable. It's good if you don't have a finger, and the magic or precision, but the mage is not easy to cultivate, except for the magic power of Tuminis, even a group of quasi-casters who can use magic scrolls are not so easy to find.

After the modification, the ballista can not only shoot arrows, but also carry things like burning stone projectiles, and when shooting arrows, the spear-like form relies on powerful kinetic energy, allowing each arrow to plunder more than one life. It is already commonplace to be strung into a gourd. With stone bullets or buckshots, it is easy to jump on the battlefield and cause a lot of damage.

It can be said that this is almost the ultimate of cold weapons, and in the case of group attacks, it is already the best weapon.

However, in Edward's opinion, this weapon should be able to derive something stronger.

Between contemplation. The iron ingot in his hand had already transformed into an elongated shape. A firing mechanism that resembles an iron box.

The bow arm structure could naturally be replaced by a torsion spring structure, so two huge spiral steel plates were the main source of power, while the gearing was replaced by gears, and the slender central shaft and crossbow box were put together, and when pulled out, an arrow could be placed into the central cavity through the guò slide. Then, with a slight pull on the trigger, there was a strange rattle, and the short, thick arrow cast of steel had disappeared from view, and the sight was far away. A puff of white smoke erupted from the wall base under a row of unoccupied houses.

It's at least five hundred feet away, but it seems that it has penetrated the stone wall foundation there, and it looks like the Heavenly Master has read the full text. In fact, with the help of springs, this shot is not so much an arrow as an armor-piercing bullet - the crossbow bolt without the feathers relies on the rotational force generated by the threads on the shaft to maintain balance. And the pressure brought by the vortex spring is enough to make this power reach a terrifying level.

It should be much more powerful than any existing bow and crossbow, but ...... Edward shook his head and rubbed his aching shoulder against the wall - the recoil of this thing was really not small, his strength was strengthened by the Nether biotype, almost greater than a dwarf, but if it wasn't for the wall of the mage tower standing behind him, he might have to flip into the room with his head over. Let Miss Anna Su have a good relief.

However, the current staff lady didn't seem to be in the mood to mock him, she just squinted her eyes at the point where the arrow landed, and her face turned pale.

"No magic enhancement?"

She couldn't have the same strong vision as the young man, but if she looked in the direction of the shot, she could also notice the smoke rising from the stone as it was shattered.

But five hundred feet...... Flat fire at this distance, even the best hard crossbows. I'm afraid that it will not be possible for an arrow to pierce the iron-clad tower shield, let alone cut through the stone. What the man was holding was no less powerful than any ballista!and, most importantly, not aided by any magic!

This thing was used against cavalry. It's an incomparably terrifying murder weapon, even farther away mages, after all, there is no armor, and the survival ability of low-level mages with weak bodies is not very high on the battlefield, and the magic of protective arrows is not without limits, and often a salvo of arrows can reimburse one or two unlucky mages, but this kind of thing is different, it is the same as a crossbow machine, as long as it is a soldier, no matter who it is, it can be easily manipulated after simple training.

The pieces of iron ingots gradually dissolved into seven or eight almost identical chests in the man's hand, and then they were arranged together in an orderly manner to form a ring. As time passed, the institution became more refined.

On that ordinary face, the brows are tightly locked, but there is a hint of a smile on the corner of the mouth,

With the rotation of that winch, so many crossbow chests wanted to be pulled apart, such a degree was already the limit, but Anna Sui had almost immediately thought of the thing that had caused a sensation in the city—since that thing could be used to pull the heavy stone mill to fly and spin, what was a box with a set of arrows? After looking at the various drawings drawn by that person, even the staff lady herself easily thought of a general structure, when the mechanism turned, the boxes of those crossbow machines could rotate ten times, or even dozens of times, and in one direction, countless arrows could be projected!

This association caused Anna Sue to bite Sakura's lip, feeling the blood on her face fade at a rapid rate......

In the mind of the staff lady, such a picture was slowly becoming clear—the Imperial knights were arrogantly prancing on their horses and galloping towards an unprotected infantry, but the killing had already begun before they approached, and with the friction of metal, countless arrows flew forward like locusts, and the iron armor on the knights' bodies was torn like sackcloth,

No, it is even possible, a carriage that bursts into the battlefield from the flanks as the cavalry charges, and rains down on the weak flanks of the knights with a rain of armor-piercing arrows, tearing even the tower shields in the hands of the infantry as lightly as parchment...... And then there's the human body after that.

In fact, it is obviously impossible to make such a high-specification spring with the ordinary forging method of this era, if it were not for the magic of the axe, it would be enough to tire one or two blacksmiths to make those gears and springs accurately, if it were not for his interest in the mechanism of some firearms, and remember one of them, even with the help of such a thing, he might not be able to do it,

If you can, it will be better to use artillery to subvert this era, but in terms of materials, it is obviously a big problem, even if Edward has already started the preliminary preparations, but those corpses and feces want to be turned into saltpeter mounds for large-scale mining, without more than a year of deposition time, it is absolutely impossible, and at present, Edward is not interested in looking for this kind of mineral deposit with great fanfare.

Also, what he needs now is a weapon that can earn foreign exchange through exports...... (To be continued.) Please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster! ·
