Chapter 123 Crystal Grenade

There was nothing to doubt about the operation against Tanzania from the outset.

All signs showed that the minions of the Society for the End of All Things had indeed entered the town, and Gao Wen, who had long been familiar with this dark sect, could not give birth to the naive idea of ​​"because he didn't burn here, so he could sit back and relax", he understood. The idea of ​​this dark sect is that all things will perish. No matter what kind of race or anything, they will perish eventually, and the so-called vitality and vitality are only the road and light used to lead to extinction. They use distorted theories to explain the original The druids are of nature and see death as the ultimate purpose of life, and at this point they are even more extreme and insane than the notorious undead schools.

They believe that the undead are also "living", and that even the undead should "return to death", and even the gods of death worshipped by the necromantic school should "return to death", and their extreme thoughts can scare other cultists.

No one knows why the Druid sect, which originally advocated life and nature, was divided and degenerated into such a dark organization, but there is no doubt that once the event of the death of all things is active, it will inevitably cause unimaginable panic and death.

Tanzania Town is too close to the New Cecil Territory. If those lunatics really intend to create a plague in the town and use Tanzania Town as "magic material" to hold evil rituals, then as long as there is a little hesitation, located in The New Cecil Land in the lower reaches of the Whitewater River will be the second victim.

But the current Cecil leader is not yet capable of directly sending an army to Tanzania to solve the problem. In fact, Gawain himself did not intend to do so. When the situation was unclear, he decided to lead three or two good men to explore first. Pathfinder.

The lord personally went deep into the danger. This was not a wise plan, but there was no way. Gawain had too little high-end combat power at his disposal. Under the circumstance that there might be middle-level cultists in Tanzan Town, he had to go out on his own.

The explosion at the pier did not spread to the camp under the timely blockade by Gawain. Everything in the territory was operating as usual. The newly arrived serfs and slave laborers relieved the fatigue of the journey in their new tents, and learned with surprise and confusion the new order and laws that were communicated to them in the land.

Gawain was ready to go to Tanzania Town.

He brought Philip Knight and Amber, as well as Pittman, who was more familiar with Druid spells, while the territory was taken care of by Hetty and Rebecca. Although the territory has been expanded a lot, and now a large number of foreign populations have increased, but one A third-level magician, a third-level fireball launcher, and a hundred combat soldiers are enough to control and protect the rear. Even if there is an emergency, there is an iron ball star here who can help.

Don't look at Nicholas Egg's character is a bit cowardly, but the actual combat power is great, as long as there is enough metal around, he can perform a ten thousand swords on the spot, and there is no way he can still fly up and give justice to the enemy.

So Gao Wen was very at ease with his hometown.

On the banks of the Baishui River, Gao Wen and his party were checking their belongings and the condition of their horses: they had to ride fast horses to Tanzania, which was faster than going upstream by boat, and they could use the forest along the way for cover in case of situation. , in order to prevent harassment of cultists.

Hetty saw them off by the river bank, and she looked a little worried: "Ancestor, please ensure your safety. The cultists behave strangely and ruthlessly. You must not be harmed by their tricks."

Knight Philip, who was beside Gawain, slapped his breastplate immediately, and his body was filled with a real fighting spirit: "Please rest assured! I will swear by the honor of a knight, and I will swear to protect the Duke's safety to the death!"

"Don't make trouble, you can't beat me again," Gawain glanced at the young man who was always on the move, "and when dealing with cultists, what you are afraid of is your stubborn temperament, and honest people are the easiest to be fooled. Do you know?"

Knight Philip thought for a while: "Your Excellency is right, I still have shortcomings, and I still need experience."

Gawain felt that this young man didn't understand at all...

At this time, Heidi frowned and turned to look in the direction of the camp: "By the way, why hasn't Rebecca come yet?"

Amber, who was idly fiddling with the dagger on his horse, raised his head when he heard the words: "She said she prepared something for us, let us wait, but after a while, the cultists may all settle down in Tanzania."

There was a lot of resentment in her tone, but the main resentment was because she was dragged to confront the cultists, which made the half-elf lady who has always talked a lot of nonsense quite dissatisfied.

Although Gawain has said several times, the frontal task is reserved for himself, Amber and the others only need assistance...

And not long after Amber's voice fell, Rebecca's voice sounded from a distance: "Lord Ancestor! Lord Ancestor! I'm here! I'm here!"

Gao Wen looked around and saw a level 3 fireball launcher galloping all the way from a distance, Rebecca was holding her iron staff in one hand, and the other hand was holding a heavy-looking one. The bag ran up and down all the way.

She ran to Gawain in one breath, gasping for breath: "Yes... I'm sorry... I made you wait a little longer..."

"Wait a while, those cultists are all giving birth in Tanzania!" Amber crossed his hips and stared, "What the hell are you tossing about?"

"I have prepared things for you that may be used," Rebecca reluctantly breathed evenly, then opened the big bag in her hand and took out the contents, "I was going to report the results to the ancestors, But I didn't expect such a thing to happen, just to test it in actual combat..."

The pocket was opened, and several curious gazes fell on what Rebecca took out: it was a metal box of uniform size and neatness.

They are made of the most common cast iron, the shape is very regular, and the size is slightly larger than the cigarette case in Gawain's impression. On the side of the box, you can see a piece of metal protruding, which seems to be an iron bar inserted into the box. , and at the top of the box there is a raised structure that seems to be pressed down.

Gawain seemed to have thought of something, but he was still not quite sure: "This is..."

"Didn't you ask me to think about how to delay the detonation of the rune trigger?" Rebecca Barabara said, "Actually, I have already designed it, but the structure is very fine and not easy to process, especially if it is impossible to process. Mass production, but now with helpers..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Gawain realized what she was going to say: "Is this Nicholas Egg processing?"

"Well, it was Eggy!" Rebecca nodded vigorously, "I gave him the design, and he processed it in a short while. In fact, if he took more time, he could make a big one. pile."

blueprints...a lot...

Gawain looked at the metal object in his hand. It was so perfect and regular. The neat lines and flat surface even carried the unique beauty of the industrial products on the earth, and the size and shape of each one were exactly the same. blacksmiths or even runesmiths to get them, how long will it take for them to craft these things?

That iron ball star is really a hang-up.

Their race is indeed a bunch of gangsters.

As long as the basic drawing design is completed and the basic raw material supply is available, the original drawing can be transformed into a product at the speed of light. If this is to give him 200 iron ball stars, he can also climb the industrial foundation of Mao Mao and jump directly into the space age. What?

However, Gawain quickly suppressed the urge to complain wildly, and he asked Rebecca curiously: "How did you delay it?"

"Gears, clockwork, and connecting rods," Rebecca seemed to have expected Gawain to ask, so she specially prepared an unassembled delay device, "Look, this is it, it's very simple."

Gao Wen looked down and was stunned: Stable and reliable reduction gear and escapement...

So this silly roe deer is actually transmigrating!

Heidi's face was very strange: "How can you have these things in your mind."

"The mechanical structure on the magic engine designed by the ancestors, and when he taught me various mechanical principles before, I have studied it seriously!" Rebecca blinked her eyes with a simple face, "And I used to I like these mechanical structures very much, it's not that you don't know about it, aunt."

Yes, because he couldn't learn other spells, he worked hard to study various magical mechanisms, trying to use machinery to make up for his regrets in spells. Hetty still remembers it clearly, when his peers were busy drawing castles on paper. , flowers, knights and princes, how Rebecca painted a wall of levers and transmission wheels on her bedroom wall and how she was chased around the castle after that.

At this time, Gao Wen didn't have time to study the stupid roe deer...the circuit in the smart roe deer's head, but asked the most crucial question: "How is the reliability?"

"It has been tested for several rounds, and under various environments, including high temperature, immersion in water, and falling to the ground, it does not affect it. At least it will not explode in advance. The iron bar next to it is a safety lock. Move this little bump on the top, and it will start ticking inside, and it will explode after five seconds. In the case of not pulling out the safety lock, unless you throw it from a height of dozens of meters, and it falls. The angle is just right, otherwise it will never explode, because the rune trigger will be stuck on the safety lock, and it will not be able to touch the detonating array inside the shell at all."

Facing such Rebecca, Gawain could only twitch the corner of his mouth: "...come back and praise you."

With the "Crystal Grenade", a proving weapon that had just finished trial production and had not yet been tested on the battlefield, Gawain and his party left the Baishui River and disappeared from Hetty and Rebecca's sights on fast horses.

And it wasn't until a few of them disappeared that Rebecca looked at Heidi cautiously: "Aunt, wasn't what Master Ancestor said just now?"

"Why is it ironic?" Heidi didn't react at once.

Rebecca scratched her hair: "Didn't you tell me before to teach you a good lesson when you get home?"

Heidi was stunned, and couldn't help rubbing Rebecca's hair with a smile: "Of course it's not ironic, we used to be too narrow-minded and couldn't see your talent."

"...Isn't that the opposite?"

"of course not."
