Extraordinary Sailing

While Aiwen was muttering secretly, things on the merchant ship made new progress.

Although the smuggling ship was seized, they were going to participate in the celebration after all, and it was not suitable for them to take these goods on the road.

Your Excellency the General made the decision, with a big wave of his hand: "Let's pay back taxes for the sake of not being contraband."

In front of his two children, especially the innocent and lovely daughter, he didn't want to make the scene too ugly, and he was kind of lenient, giving this hateful guy who dared to smuggle a way out.

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!" After the major officer conveyed the general's order, the fat businessman thanked him with gratitude, and crawled into the cabin where he lived to prepare for the fine.

Although my profits are bound to shrink greatly after paying taxes, I still have some profits, which is 10,000 times better than fines and confiscations!

whirring

Not long after, he walked out with a wooden box and a long box with great difficulty, and put them in front of the major officer with a painful expression on his face.

"My lord, this is already all my property except the goods, please check to see if it is enough."

"Ah"

Looking at this fat face full of obsequious smiles, the major officer did not believe a word he said.

He only knew that if this guy dared to give less a copper furr, he would give him a good look first without the general's order!

Pat——

Opening the box, the officer pouted.

Looking at the box is not small, in fact, apart from a small number of golden lions, most of them are silver bulls, and there are even a lot of copper furs. A few small pocket watches exquisitely inlaid with gemstones and crystals, sterling silver cutlery and dinner plates, and a roll of soft snow-white silk.

It seems that there is really a feeling of hollowing out the family.

Fortunately, in addition to currency and precious metals, pocket watches and silk are also hard currencies in the kingdom. Obviously, under such circumstances, even if he had ten guts, he would not dare to fool the navy.

But the number is still wrong!

Just as the major frowned, the fat businessman who was good at observing words and expressions had already handed over the last long box.

After opening it for a glance, the major quickly closed the lid. Immediately, his complexion improved a lot, and he patted the merchant on the shoulder again, directly announcing the withdrawal of the team.

"What, mysterious?" Ai Wen was a little far away, and at a glance, he didn't see what was in the box at all.

But soon, Your Excellency the General satisfied his curiosity.

The "fine" harvested was immediately handed over to General Snart. He ignored the bits and pieces in the wooden box, and he was very confident in the eyesight of his officers.

What interests him more is the contents of the long box.

It was a musket.

Strictly speaking, it is an "alchemy musket"!

Unlike ordinary muskets, which are mostly made by blacksmiths in armories, "alchemy muskets", "alchemy bombs" and even the more magical "sea monster pointer" are all made by mysterious "alchemists".

"Ha, it really is a masterpiece made by a master alchemist!"

The magical alchemy endows this alchemical creation with superior performance beyond the times, and is regarded as a treasure by every spear master.

However, unlike standard equipment such as alchemy bombs, the precision of alchemy muskets also means that it is extremely difficult to manufacture, and every surviving alchemy musket is synonymous with rarity and preciousness.

I don't know where this humble smuggler got this treasure, but he missed it because of a dramatic anti-smuggling operation.

Aiwen has been in the navy for so long, so he is naturally no stranger to various excellent weapons.

As far as he knows.

Although overall, the productivity of this era is very backward, but because of the co-existence of witchcraft and technology, the alchemy gun from the master's hand even has a terrifying power that surpasses the modern guns of the previous life.

Even because of their powerful power and precision, they have a proprietary name - "sniper rifle".

Its superior performance beyond the times allows excellent sniper musketeers to accurately kill opponents at a distance of one kilometer with the help of a special scope. Even a powerful extraordinary knight at a suitable distance can't resist a sudden sniper rifle.

There is no doubt that Ivan covets such a powerful weapon.

Although he himself is proficient in swordsmanship, he doesn't have the obsession of "sincere in the sword can be the best in the sword". As a typical pragmatist, of course, use whatever is easy to use.

In the previous life, every boy had a dream of guns when he was a child.

For the alchemy musket, the strongest individual weapon that stands at the pinnacle of the era, Aiwen naturally has a deep understanding of its power.

rumored.

Even those great knights who are strong enough to interfere with reality, and even activate the supernatural power of dou qi, dare not distance themselves and face three or five alchemy muskets in the hands of excellent snipers at the same time.

Although there is a high probability that the final winner will still be the Cavaliers, but he must also pay a painful price.

This also proved the deterrent effect of the alchemy musket.

Of course, alchemy muskets are rare, but excellent snipers are even rarer. The requirements on land may not be so harsh, because the solid ground can provide enough stability for snipers.

But on a battleship, there is never a stable platform for snipers to shoot, and the ever-present wind and waves make the difficulty of sniping skyrocket, and the long-range sniper "the difference is a thousand miles away" is by no means empty words.

The sniper, like the mathematician, is a very talented profession. The so-called talent is more like a special intuition, which is difficult to train the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, there may be only single digits of powerful snipers in the Royal Navy who can truly display the power of alchemy muskets, perhaps even fewer than the number of alchemy muskets in existence.

"Even if the powerful alchemy musket is placed in the hands of a mediocre person, it is still similar to the work of an ordinary blacksmith."

There is obviously more than one person who has the same idea as Ivan.

When the general held up the "alchemy gun" to appreciate it, Ivan also saw its whole picture.

The gun barrel is slightly dull in the silver color, the wooden and delicate wine-red gun stock, and a vine dotted with golden rose patterns runs through the entire gun body. It is more a magnificent art than a big killer. Taste.

There is a line of small characters engraved on the bottom part of the gun stock, and the general with a look of love read its name: "Thorn Gold Rose!".

"Ah! This musket is so beautiful, and the name is so nice!" Even the little girl who knew nothing about weapons expressed her sincere admiration.

He even wanted to reach out to touch it several times, but the general avoided it. The lieutenant general would not dare to let a brat touch such a thing, not even a very cute brat.

After admiring it for a long time, General Snart put down the alchemy musket with some regret. Although the group of officers next to them had eager eyes, most of them also knew that they were not worthy of this musket in terms of ability or status.

Although General Snart is a vice admiral, he is also a civilian general through and through. He knows very well that even if he took this musket, it would only be used as a precious decoration, and it would not be able to play its value at all. It's a waste of money.

"Save it! I hope it can meet a worthy owner in the future."

A group of people watched the re-sealed alchemy gun being sent to the lower cabin, and they all came back to their senses until the shadow was gone.

"If only I had a talent for sniping."

The same sigh echoed in everyone's heart at this moment.
