Release that Witch

27. Chapter 27 Past

    The weather is getting colder every day, and Roland is getting up late every day.

    As a ruling class, he certainly has the right to sleep late. Especially the big bed with three layers of velvet blankets, the whole person will fall into the soft surrounding when lying down, which further encourages his bed.

    When Roland walked into the office, Nightingale had been waiting for him there.

    “Hey, your breakfast, I ate half of it hot, it’s cold now,” she said, half of the bread on the table, Nunu’s mouth, and she was the master of the place.

    “No one has taught you, should you be humble before the prince,” Roland reached for the plate and sat back at the desk. “Remember that you are still very ceremonial at the beginning.”

    He sighed at the bottom of heart. I really didn’t see that this guy was actually a familiar person. Instead of staying with Anna, he ran around and wandered around. She still hides her body shape. Now, as long as there are no outsiders, she will wander around the office and even Hood will not wear it.

    Like This?She jumped off the table and walked an impeccable noble ceremony. “You have been getting late and late. I watched the breakfast and put it on, and it helped you solve it.” “His Royal Highness,” she leaned over to Roland. “You don’t care about it anyway, right?” And you don’t like the cumbersome etiquette, I can see it. ”

    Is this guy with a glare, Roland’s abdomen, can you see it?

    He sighed. “Let’s follow you, but after you have had breakfast, you will finish it.” If I want to eat, I will call another one. ”

    “Follow, Your Highness!”She smiled softly, pinched the plate and ran to the side.

    Roland rolled out a blank piece of parchment and prepared to complete the half of the design that was painted yesterday.

    If you want to hold the Border Town, the battle after the winter is not a victory. Although an army that has not seen blood is not a qualified army, Roland fears that if there is a large loss, this group of short-term training people will not have the courage to stand on the wall.

    He needs cross-age weapons to gain absolute advantage over Evil Beast’s.

    There is no doubt that it is a musket.

    In fact, this era has all the conditions for the emergence of muskets. Alchemist often configures something called a snow powder for a ceremonial celebration in a court celebration. This stuff is a reciped gunpowder that burns slowly and can only be heard in a copper tube.

    About a hundred years later, the prototype of the musket – Arquebus will appear. Because of the cumbersome operation, this kind of firearm requires two people to cooperate to complete the filling and shooting action. Under the general situation, it can only be used as a single-issue weapon. And its rate of fire and power is not comparable to a well-trained archer.

    Of course, Roland is not interested in repeating history. Like the Steam engine, he can use the power of the witch to create a real-fire musket.

    “I saw the order on the table when you didn’t come,” Nightingale swallowed the last piece of bread and asked casually, “What are you going to buy so much? Now in the winter, I want to drink refrigerated ale, directly in the house manifestation for a night not then it will be alright? ”

    The upper noble is very fond of ice in the summer – that is, saltpeter to make ice, then cool milk, wine or juice to enjoy. For the blessing of the season, the price of the saltpeter is now very low.

    “It’s chilled cheese, the temperature is not low enough, it’s icy,” Roland said.

    The woman in front of her eyes, though not an enemy, is not as knowledgeable as Anna. Unlike the Steam engine, there is not much technical barrier to the musket. Once it is spread, it is obviously not good for your farming plan. Before I figured out her bottom, some things are better. Thinking of this, he tentatively asked, “Will the Witch Cooperation Association train the killer besides finding Holy Mountain?”

    “No, they are just poor people who are gathered together for their dreams,” Nightingale waved. “My joining is just a matter of the last two years.”

    “That is, you were working for someone else before?”Her beautiful throwing skills, no one to guide and hard to practice for years, can’t be thrown out. Roland confirms this. “Is there anyone else besides me who wants to take the witch?”

    “Retained?”The look of Nightingale has become a bit strange, “How could it be…If I knew that I would become a witch, he wouldn’t let me in even the door. As for later, if I didn’t use it for him, I was afraid that it would have been secretly executed. ”

    Eww? Can you talk about it? ”

    Nightingale smiled and shook his head, but this time the smile added more unclear emotions. “His Highness, I will tell you when the timing is right. I know what you are worried about, please be assured that I was free five years ago and no longer need to sell for anyone. ”

    The negotiation verification failed, it seems that the charm attribute of his own is not high…But her answer also confirmed her own thoughts – at least five years ago, she had done something for someone to see. Fortunately, his use of Nightingale seems to stem only from an accident, rather than like himself, intends to recruit witches.

    Roland didn’t ask again and continued to bow his own drawings.

    To his a little bit of surprise, the Nightingale, who usually loves to go forward, has become quiet at this moment, and only the sound of the burning of the fire is left in the room. When Roland raised head was numb, she was gone in the office.

    “Don’t say hello,” he snorted, folding the parchment in his hand and putting it in his pocket.

    After a few days of work, plus this drawing, the design of the weapon – or the engraving – was completed.

    He is going to make a famous haircut gun. This kind of weapon has been tested by history, and the difficulty of production is similar to that of the fire rope gun. After the gunpowder is installed, the lead shot is pre-loaded. The firing rate can be close to three rounds per minute. It is more than enough to deal with the mutant beast without IQ.

    Most animals don’t climb the wall, so the shooting distance is about the same height as the top of the wall to the ground, which is 12 feet. Even if you use your foot to aim at this distance, you won’t lose your target, and the bullet’s initial velocity will hardly decrease. Evil Beast can basically make a shot as long as it has not evolved a harder skin than steel.

    The disadvantage of the rifle is the production time. At the beginning, it was the same as the arquebus. It was hammered out by a craftsman. From the barrel to the trigger, it took about three months to make the whole shot. The barrel is a big head, you have to knock the iron piece into a round tube, iron powder, and then drill the loading line. Although no sophisticated instruments are used, the craftsmen must be skilled to make a qualified barrel.

    That’s why Roland first built a Steam engine.

    With the Steam engine, he can use a steel drill bit to drill a gun directly on a solid iron rod, so that the production speed can be greatly improved, and there is no need for a skilled craftsman to operate. Only one job that can fix the iron rod is needed. You can do it.
