Chapter 36
Let’s talk first
"Teacher, what is this?"
Sasha stared at the polygonal cylinder tube in Ictor's hand. Sasha, who had never seen such a strange device before, was very curious.
She even couldn't help but peek in from the front of the barrel, but she really couldn't see any mystery in this black thing.
"Don't go there, it's very dangerous."
Ictor pushed Sasha aside with just one finger, and then placed his right hand on the extended mithril steel.
"Stand still and watch my demonstration."
"Good teacher."
Little Sasha nodded and stood aside obediently without saying anything.
Not only her, but Hammerhead next to her was also curious.
In contrast, the vibration of the barrel itself is not obvious, and there is not much explosion sound during the entire release process, but the recoil is quite sufficient.
But it was already too late. Due to the sudden incident, the little girl's ear was hit hard.
"Pip! Hold on! You are a true warrior!"
Use mental power to control the outflow of magic power, and the magic power is quickly transmitted to the magic circle through mithril steel.
The bullet penetrated the chest of Jackal Pip, causing him to bleed profusely.
However, this jackal man refused to be exposed. He didn't even hum. He just let Black Ax drag him out of the territory.
If it is really a magic weapon, then Hammerhead's status as a blacksmith will skyrocket!
Making a heirloom treasure is the pursuit of all blacksmiths!
Sasha only had time to see a flash of magic flame, and then the gun in Ictor's hand completely stopped moving.
Fortunately, the human did not chase him out, so Black Ax had the courage to drag out the unlucky Pip.
Logically speaking, using mental power to directly provoke the magic circle has the same effect, but the magic gun must be distributed to everyone after all, and there are many things involved. In short, it is necessary to activate the magic circle separately.
Then he raised his gun and pointed it into the woods, bang!
He then looked at Hammerhead again and said solemnly:
"Hammer, the production of the magic gun has not been completed yet. Go get a mold and cast some iron balls for me, slightly smaller than the barrel!"
The blacksmith's muscles were covered with sweat, and his whole body looked like he had just been fished out of the Fanfuna River, reflecting the light of the furnace.
After making a gun, Ictor just wanted to find a place to fire it first, but now that he had a gun but no ammunition, the gun in his hand was naturally useless.
"It's over, it's over?"
He really wanted to know what the use of this thing was.
This was difficult for Hammerhead to understand, and he could only assume that this term was chosen by the lord specifically for this weapon.
At first, Pip and Black Ax didn't care, until the human took out the black pipe and fired a shot into the woods without hesitation!
When the harsh sound sounded, Black Ax thought he had been exposed!
Blacksmithing is a very physically demanding task, not to mention the forging process invented by the lord.
Ictor saw Hammerhead's excitement, and the temptation of magic weapons was never small.
Listen to the gunshot! How sweet it is!
"Hahahahaha!"
The magic circle was activated immediately, a burst of blue light flashed, and a faint flame spurted out from the muzzle, and it disappeared in an instant.
The lord is a noble mage, and he always has the best strategy.
In order to trigger this magic circle instantly when needed, Iket canceled this structure and replaced it with an independent magic agitation magic circle. This built-in magic circle, which is equivalent to a switch, can help him control the timing of firing.
"Pip! Pip! Damn it! My Pip! How could this happen!"
"Yes! Lord Lord!"
Black Ax hurriedly wanted to heal Pip, but he didn't know where to start.
While Hammerhead was busy, Ictor went to find a carpenter to cut out a pistol body, and fixed the barrel with thin iron sheets and nails. Only then did the prototype of the magic gun become finalized.
A gun had brought him to this state. Thinking of those extremely complex industrial machines, Ickert thought it would be better to just kill him.
Hammerhead could no longer hold back his excitement. He originally thought that the Lord's things would emit magical flames, but he didn't expect that it would only last for a moment.
However, Iket is quite satisfied with this. In any case, he has already taken the first step towards modernization.
And he was tortured by the lord for so long, and finally got a pipe?
Not a sharp sword, not an ax or a gun, just for a steel pipe without an edge, which made him waste so much strength!
After a lot of busy work, it was already early the next morning. Iket was exhausted and suddenly became in awe of human technology.
What is the use of this? Is the lord mad or is he crazy?
The barrel of the gun held by Ictor at this time was not long, at best it was a slightly longer pistol.
Finally, Ickert picked up the thin wooden stick that the carpenter had trimmed and used it as a rod. The polished iron ball fit the barrel of the gun very well, and Ickert easily inserted the iron bullet.
Ictor was very happy, he was so happy!
But some people are very unhappy.
He knew that the sound of the gun would be loud, but he did not cover his ears actively, but enjoyed the wonderful sound!
Generally speaking, when the magic circle is closed, the mage will add a "stimulation circuit" to continuously stimulate the magic circle instead of mental power.
But iron bullets should also work.
Hammerhead turned around and started working again. Since he didn't know what lead ore looked like, Iket couldn't even cast lead bullets.
Different from the previous empty-bore shooting, this time, little Sasha was so frightened that she covered her ears!
But the wanton laughter seemed to be mocking their incompetence, which made Black Ax very angry.
Jackal Black Ax finally dragged Pip back from the woods. They just wanted to investigate the situation of humans today. They didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
He and Pip were quietly observing in the woods and recording the situation in human territory, but they encountered that weapon!
"This is a magic gun, but it is far from being fully formed, and it is still a little short of being able to exert its power."
Ictor used his mental power to slightly stir up the stimulating circle. It was very easy, as if he was glaring at someone.
Hammerhead carefully savored the words Ikot said. The word gun is not in the common language of the empire, so Ikot used the vocabulary on Blue Star and coined a word.
There is no need to think about copying it completely. He can feel more comfortable doing his own research.
Poor unlucky Pip to be hit by such a random attack!
Hammerhead believes that this should be a sharp weapon, even a magic weapon!
If what he originally described was a simple "exploding" magic circle, then it would be automatically released after the magic power flows into the magic circle and the magic pressure reaches the release requirements.
"Magic gun?"
"Lord, what is the use of this black pipe?"
However, there is an obvious problem with this, that is, it takes time for the magic power to flow into the magic circle and the magic pressure to increase. This is the casting delay.
"Quick! Pip, answer me! Look at me! Don't fall asleep! You will die!"
Sasha's uncomfortable expression was noticed by Ictor, but when it came to the noise, Ictor felt the same way.
The shortcoming of spell casting delay is acceptable for continuous magic, but for instant spells, the cost of such forced release and delay is too high.
That human was running around with a short human, doing something unknown.
It is impossible for such a lord to put so much effort into creating such a thing just for entertainment.
Black Ax tried his best to keep his companions awake, but he got no response from Pip.
He took a closer look and found that Pip had already fainted from pain.
No wonder he didn't say anything the whole way
No matter what, Pip must be rescued now!
First, take out what was punched into Pip's chest, carefully and slowly.
Um.
I seem to have touched a slippery, hard bead?
This should be it!
Damn it!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
