Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 148, the news came from

Claude is too lazy to take care of the family.

The father was still the administrative director of the old and savage, even if the merchant fleet had an accident, his investment was not returned, and he was expelled from public office. Such a blow was almost fatal to others, and perhaps it would be sluggish from then on. But Mr. Morssen has taken on, and even has the mind to protect himself from self-protection and not give the former opponent a chance to retaliate. From this point of view, Claude feels that he is worried that his father is purely full, and he is worried.

I am just an ordinary person, I don’t know why it is transmigrated. I don’t have a grandfather with me, and I don’t have a system. I’m not sure if I have a golden finger. Perhaps the magic talent is, and by chance, he became a magician.

But this did not make me like the protagonist of the novel, Long Aotian, all the way to fight monsters, equipment, pick up the girl, wait for those loyal servants to come to the door to send money to send God to send granddaughters, until the gods destroy the world of invincible. I am still practicing slowly at the level of the single-ring rune mage, a little bit of the magic inside the second six-pointed star in the meditation space. It seems that there is still a long time from the promotion of the double-ring rune mage. day.

The transmigrator never thought of being a genius and didn't think he was much smarter than others. Although it is a cross, he finds that his previous experiences and insights can't help himself in this different world. Instead, he has a calm personality and a calm and calm experience that has made him safe through several dangerous experiences.

Personality determines fate, this sentence is not wrong.

The transmigrator only wants to spend the rest of his life in this different world with Claude, by the way, or to explore the different scenery around the world, and then to understand the mystery of magic, so he is satisfied.

No one is smarter than the people of this world. He must be integrated into the world and become a member of it. He will not be treated as a stranger. This is the transmigrator's words to tell you all the time. The refreshing plots that are like the ones described in the novels do not exist in reality. The transmigrator is now an 18-year-old boy, but he has already passed psychologically. The age of the second.

In the population register of Kingdom of Aueras, Claude is just an 18-year-old adult civilian in Whitestag town, southwestern three counties. It is hung under nationals Morssen Fred's household registration, and has no inheritance. The only difference from others is that there is a line of notes behind it, indicating that it is the first place in the 757th medical school of Whitestag Town National High School and is currently the head of the Normanley Forest Farm.

So Claude felt that he was still doing the job of the forest manager, not to control the farce that happened at home. The father said that the auction of the family property will last until the end of the month, and everyone in the town will know everything. It’s too bad, can’t you live well? Claude even wants to bring her sister and brother to the cabin to live with themselves, lest they be wronged in the poor home. It was only because of the mother’s resolute opposition that Claude had to dispel the idea.

Claude didn't care much about the father's embarrassment that allowed him to take the time to learn pharmacy knowledge and get a qualification for a junior pharmacist. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the good intentions of his father’s words, but he himself thinks there is no way to do this. Don't say anything else, just remembering nearly a thousand herbs makes Claude very difficult.

When Mrs. Maria was teaching Claude in the forest, she said that rote memorization is of no use. It is better to have physical objects in hand to make a deep impression. It is difficult to remember the graphic depiction in the book. For example, a herbal medicine is very different from the appearance of the medicinal materials after refining. This difference is only a simple explanation in the book, and it is easy to confuse with other medicinal materials.

The biggest difference between Claude and Mrs. Maria is that he puts magic cultivation in the first place. Learning pharmacy is just an interest, incidentally. And Madame Maria, contrary to him, she is an intermediate pharmacist and proud of her identity. Learning magic is due to curiosity when I was a child. When I grow up, I don’t care much about magic.

After returning to the forest farm, Claude basically stayed in the log cabin except for the daily patrols of the forest farms. The alchemy magic test was carried out in the study, and the barrel was forged and refined according to the metal material formula on the magic note of Master Rands.

It was only after Claude's successful copying of the barrel that he found that the barrel of the tube appeared to be much worse than the barrel material of his current aubass Mark 2s fire rope gun, for which he had experimented with the use of the farthest range of granular standard third powder stuffed into the refined barrel to shoot, The results showed that there were very small cracks in the barrel after shooting, which obviously could not bear the pressure of the particle type gunpowder when it was emitted.

It seems that this Freia Continent's musket development and research has not stagnated as much as I thought. At the very least, they have improved the material of the barrel. Unfortunately, the material formula of this barrel is top secret and does not leak. Claude wants to get the same quality of the barrel and test it himself, adding and synthesizing various metal materials.

After a busy week or so, Claude finally refines two barrels that are satisfactory for him. Although it is a little worse than the barrel of the Aubass Mark 2s arquebus, it is enough for Claude. What he has to do next is to modify a flintlock. With the barrel, the rest of the accessories are not difficult for Claude. The drawings have already been drawn, that is, the size needs to be adjusted when assembling.

At the end of the month, Claude was preparing to take his own hair gun to the forest to conduct a shooting test. Seeing that the forester Siori came back from the town, he told Claude a message that the messenger from Wangdu informed the town office that the merchant fleet had been robbed by the pirates and that the news had been confirmed by the King’s Department of the Navy. . Several survivors who were surrendered by pirates and finally joined the pirate gang have been pardoned and will return to Whitestag town in a few days.

Siori said that this consumption in Whitestag town sparked an uproar. Nearly a thousand sailor crew members gathered in front of the town office and were eager to know the news of their loved ones. There was already a cry, and grief shrouded the entire town…

Finally came, Claude looked at the direction of the town, imaginable to the sad scene. He didn't want to join in the excitement. As a bystander, he could only believe that his father had the ability to deal with this scene. For today, my father has done a good job of preparation.

But there is one person Claude can't avoid, Eriksson, this is his good friend. His bed has been rehabilitated until now, and when Claude and Welikro went to see him, he was able to get out of bed and do some light physical exercises. I only hope that the bad news coming from today will not make him sad and add to his injuries…

The newly-produced flintlock shooting test didn't go very well. Claude was not an arms expert. He just made it based on the rifle that he saw in his previous life. So although the appearance is exactly the same, even the sights and the photo door are available, but the shooting test often fails. The two biggest problems are that there are five or six misfires in ten shots, that is, they can't catch fire. Another problem is that the lock is loose and the trigger is too slow to react.

The meteorite ignition seems to be somewhat unreliable. It is not that every time the impact can pull out Mars, and the Mars can not be used to ignite the gunpowder in the medicine pool. This is the main reason why the misfire rate is too high. In order to facilitate the aiming of the door on the barrel, Claude purposely moved the meteorite and the medicine pot to the right side of the barrel, which was placed obliquely. The so-called French-made antique flintlock that he saw in his previous life is like this, and it seems that it needs to be adjusted.

Too loose locks should be a material problem, soft, preferably a resilient steel, which also takes time for Claude to slowly experiment to adjust the best material formulation. In addition, due to the material of the barrel, the firing range of the rifle is also about 200 meters, and the effective killing distance is within 120 meters. Compared with the arquebus gun, the only advantage is that it is easy to aim and improve the accuracy of shooting.

However, because Claude remembered what happened in the town, he didn't have any thoughts on rectifying the hair gun in his hand. Instead, he set aside and decided to go home first. If you find that the situation is wrong, give your mother, sister and brother to the forest farm, lest they be shackled and fish.

When I got home in a carriage, Claude found that nothing happened at home. Asking her mother with a sigh of relief, the mother said that her father rushed to the town office in the afternoon and made a speech in public.

Mr. Morssen said that after he and his friend were arrested inexplicably for jeopardizing Kingdom, he vaguely noticed that it was likely that the merchant fleet had an accident, which led to the main investors of these merchant fleets being Grabbing, but at that time, I didn’t know the reason and the situation of the merchant fleet. He had no choice but to pray.

However, after being excused from public office and released home, Mr. Morssen was sleepy day and night, worried about the results of the merchant fleet, and had a bad feeling in his heart. Therefore, during this time, he became a seller and cashed in all his shares, just to prepare for the loss. He didn't want to run away, but wanted to take responsibility with his friends and give necessary help to the families of sailors and crew.

According to the surviving sailors who were surrendered by the pirates, more than 70 sailor crew members of more than 300 merchant ships were killed in battle with the pirates. Captain Altroni and five unwilling members were exiled to An uninhabited island in the quiet ocean. The remaining 200 sailor crew members were divided by various pirate groups and became a member of the pirates.

Only now that the survivors have not returned to Whitestag town, no one knows if their loved ones are still alive. In fact, Mr. Morssen is only responsible for the more than 70 sailor crews who died in the battle with the pirates. The sailors who joined the pirates have already separated from the merchant fleet.

However, Mr. Morssen also publicly announced that according to the pre-sealing roster, all merchant fleet members will receive a compensation of eight crowns, which is equivalent to a sailor's three-year salary sum. As for the sailor crew who were confirmed to have died, they received fifteen crown pensions, which is enough for the families of their loved ones to be able to spend a full five years.

It is said that after the announcement of Mr. Morssen, the town office was thunderous, and almost everyone praised the benevolence of merchants and other merchants such as Mr. Morssen. As the family of sailors and crew members, most of them know that the sea is risking their lives, and they have already prepared for it. This is a job that takes life and struggles.

In general, a sailor and crew pension is equivalent to one year's salary, three crowns. Now they have been nearly tripled by Mr. Morssen. This is still a compensation, and the pension has been increased by five times. This has reduced the grief of losing loved ones. What's more, their relatives may not have died yet, maybe they will escape from the pirates someday…

It seems that the fathers are in perfect control of the situation. They have not been resentful by the families of the sailors and crew members. Instead, they have gained a lot of prestige in the town. They are worried about themselves. However, Claude asked her mother if she needed to bring her younger siblings and him to the forest farm for a while. The result was unexpected. The mother refused. She thought that this difficult day would soon pass. There is no need to hide like this. The forest farm goes…
