Early the next morning, Louise received an invitation from the palace, asking her and Red Ponytail to go to the palace together. Of course, Louise would not refuse, so the two of them got on the carriage sent by the royal family and rushed to the palace.
"But Saber, is that Staff of Destruction really that powerful?"
Although she had already seen the power of the grenade launcher in Red Ponytail's hand, Louise still asked curiously, and Red Ponytail nodded.
"Of course, you have seen its power. In fact, what I used yesterday was not a real warhead. If it were used in actual combat, that grenade would be enough to completely destroy a civilian building."
"Is it that powerful?"
“Hehehe…”
Looking at the stunned Louise, the red ponytail smiled slightly.
"But this is not the most amazing part."
"Hey? So what's the best thing?"
"The Staff of Destruction... The best part is, anyone can use it."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Louise was stunned for a moment.
"But didn't Fukai fail to use it last night?"
"That's because she doesn't know how to operate it. It's like if you want to open a door, you first have to use the key to unlock it and then push the door open. Just like that, as long as you know how to do it, any kid on the street can do it with ease... Well, considering the weight, that's absolutely impossible."
"Is that so..."
At this, Louise nodded, and the red ponytail stared at her.
"You don't look like a noble."
"Eh? How do I look like a noble? I am the third daughter of Duke Valier!"
Hearing this, Louise immediately straightened her chest and tried to act like a young lady, while Red Ponytail waved her hand.
"I'm not talking about your identity, I'm talking about your thoughts. After hearing what I said just now, did you think of anything?"
"……?"
Seeing her confused look, Red Ponytail sighed.
"In this world, only nobles can use magic, and commoners can't use it, right?"
"Um."
"And because of this, the nobles believe that they are nobler than the common people, right?"
“I see.”
"But with this?"
Red Ponytail took out the Hydra grenade launcher again and waved it at Louise.
"Do you understand? It's nothing special that you nobles know magic. With this, even a farmer in the field can blow you to pieces with one shot... In other words, the very foundation of your noble ruling class has begun to shake at this moment."
“Eh…? This…”
Hearing this, Louise finally understood something. She stared at the rocket launcher in Red Ponytail's hand and her face turned pale.
"Is this something so dangerous?"
"It seems you finally understand."
Red Ponytail put away the grenade launcher again.
"So, are you scared?"
"Of course. If, as you said, those civilians can use these things..."
Recalling the scene last night, Louise's face turned pale. To be honest, the power at that time was no worse than the fireball in Louise's opinion. And Saber actually said that it was not the real power. If these things really fell into the hands of ordinary people... then what would happen to them, the nobles?
"You, do you really want to offer such a dangerous thing to the royal family?"
"I didn't say I'd give it away for free."
Red Ponytail waved her hand.
"This is just a trade. I want to see if Toristin has anything worth exchanging. After all, this is quite interesting."
In fact, Red Ponytail got this inspiration from the plane merchant lady at the time. That plane merchant lady just liked to run back and forth between different worlds and then barter. To be honest, Red Ponytail didn't really notice it at first, but later she felt that this was really a profitable business. After all, each world needs different things. For example, the mustache robot she wants is worthless in Red Ponytail's eyes, and it's just a toy to give away. But for other worlds, maybe that mustache robot is a very powerful existence - for example, in the current world of Zero's Familiar, to put it bluntly, this is just a low-magic world. The magic is not as high as that of Lina Inbass's world, and the technology is also at a mediocre level. If there is such a robot, it may be enough to conquer this world.
On the other hand, some common things in the magic world cannot be found in the science fiction world. For example, in some magic worlds, there are even resurrection props. But in the science fiction world, if you talk about resurrection, most people will just treat you as a fool.
At the same time, maybe the people in the magical world are tired of running around and resurrecting corpses...
But unfortunately, Fang Zheng can't be a plane businessman like that girl, because the world he travels through is fixed, while that girl can move around freely, so she only needs to be responsible for buying and selling things. As for whether the people in the magic world will buy the T virus to spread the biochemical crisis, or the people in the science fiction world will buy the evil god statue to destroy the world, it has nothing to do with her. No matter whether the other party succeeds or fails in the end, it can't hurt her at all, right?
In this respect, he is truly a model businessman.
Now Red Ponytail wants to see whether the Toristin royal family will offer a suitable price for this batch of "Staffs of Destruction".
At this time, the carriage also arrived at the palace. Then Louise and Red Ponytail got off the carriage and entered the palace under the guidance of the waiter. They came to a room in the palace, where a girl in a white dress was sitting on a chair, looking at her with a smile.
"It is an honor to meet you, Princess."
Louise walked quickly forward, then knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to the girl in front of her, while the red ponytail girl just nodded to her.
Seeing this scene, the man standing behind the princess narrowed his eyes.
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel down when you see the princess?!"
"Because I am not one of your nationals, and I have no relationship with Tristin."
Red Ponytail was quite calm.
"Besides...I will not kneel before a mortal."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, the man's eyes widened, and Louise turned her head to look at the red ponytail in surprise.
"You dare to do this? You are defying the dignity of the Toristin royal family! Someone, take her away...!"
“Swish!”
However, before the man could finish his words, Red Ponytail suddenly drew out his sword and pointed it at the man. The next moment, incomparable dragon power erupted instantly, covering the entire room. The man who was targeted by the dragon power turned pale and could not utter a word. He stared into the red ponytail's bright red eyes, as if he was being stared at by a terrifying beast.
"Listen carefully, mortals. I am willing to stand here and talk to you. This is already a grace given to you. Don't push your luck... Well, this is a warning. Don't let it happen again."
“…”
"Do you understand? Nod if you understand."
"..." (Nods)
"very good."
Red Ponytail put down the sword, and at that moment, the dragon's might quietly dissipated, and the man fell to the ground with a plop, his face pale, and his whole body shaking like a madman. Even Louise quietly wiped her sweat. Red Ponytail had always been very gentle around her, and she had never seen him so oppressive.
But then again, who is she?
It was only then that Louise realized that she seemed to know almost nothing about her familiar. Apart from her name, she seemed to have never told him where she came from or who she was...
"Okay, you can leave now."
The princess sitting on the chair didn't seem to be affected at all, at least on the surface she gave a calm answer. After hearing the princess's answer, the man stood up as if he had been pardoned, and then crawled out of the room without even daring to look back.
"I'm so sorry that my servant behaved so rudely, Louise, may I ask who she is..."
"Report, report to Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is my...familiar."
At this point, Louise felt a little insecure.
"This is really... surprising."
The princess seemed quite surprised to hear Louise's answer, but she still nodded to the red ponytail.
"Hello, Miss Familiar, nice to meet you. I am the princess of Tristan, Anrietta de Tristan."
"Hello, Princess. As for me...just like Louise, you can just call me Saber."
Red Ponytail still shamelessly borrowed the name of Saber. Anyway, it is impossible for them to cross dimensions to attack her, right?
Besides, even if we chop them down, we won’t be able to defeat them!
"Well then, Miss Saber."
Anrietta didn't dwell on the name and continued speaking.
"I heard from the dean that you have a batch of Rods of Destruction that you want to sell to the kingdom?"
"Strictly speaking, they are weapons of the same system."
Facing the buyer, Red Ponytail naturally would not talk nonsense like before. She waved her right hand and took out the Hydra grenade launcher again.
"That's it."
"This is……"
"The name is not important. Simply put, you can think of it as a handheld turret. Its power and range are slightly weaker than ordinary turrets, but it has considerable advantages in close combat. It is easy to carry, simple and convenient. As long as you know how to use it, anyone can use it."
“Can anyone use it?”
Hearing this, an old man standing not far away and dressed like an aristocrat suddenly asked, and the girl with red ponytail looked at him and smiled slightly.
"Yes, anyone, even a child... well, I guess there's no way, because they can't lift it."
"So, you mean that even a child can use it easily as long as they can lift it?"
"That's right."
Ignoring Louise's desperate look of warning, the red-tailed girl nodded smugly.
"So, how many of these weapons do you have?"
"I have as many as you want. I can even give it to everyone in the kingdom."
After all, they are two different worlds. America’s arsenal is more than enough to equip an entire planet.
Hearing this, the old man and the princess both showed surprised expressions.
Then the two sides looked at each other.
"Then...can you let me try it first?"
"Of course, it's not very convenient here, let's find a relatively open place."
Soon, the group arrived at a training ground in the palace, and then Red Ponytail took out a grenade launcher and handed it to the princess, and then began to teach her how to do it step by step.
"First, put the grenade in, just like putting a shell in a cannon barrel, then turn on the safety, remember not to point the muzzle at people, then aim forward - yes, aim like this, and then pull the trigger."
According to Red Ponytail, Anrietta completed the preparations with some difficulty, then pulled the trigger at the training dummy in front of her. With a "bang", a grenade flew out and hit the dummy. The next moment, accompanied by a "boom" explosion, the area several meters around the dummy suddenly exploded and cracked, and even the hard stone slabs were blown to pieces.
"Just, is it that simple?"
Staring at the grenade launcher in her hand in amazement, and then looking at the dummy that was blown to pieces in front of her, Anrietta didn't know what to say for a moment. The same effect can be achieved by fireball, but even a court magician needs a magic wand and chanting spells, but this only needs to be so simple to achieve the same thing?
"Is there any limitation on this weapon?"
"When the bullets are used up, they need to be replaced, and that's it. By the way, bullets are charged separately."
If possible, Red Ponytail would like to charge for the accessories of the grenade launcher separately.
But she also knew that this was too much.
“…”
This time, Anrietta was completely speechless.
Magicians need to rest, and their magic power is not infinite, so even in battle, they need time to recover. But this weapon is different, it is a weapon after all, as long as it is not damaged and there are enough shells, it can be used forever... At this time, any qualified member of the royal family knows what this means.
Anrietta exchanged glances with the old man again, and then her expression became serious.
"So, Ms. Saber, how much do you plan to sell this weapon to us?"
"I don't want any money."
"……Why?"
"The currency of this world has no value to me, whether it is gold, silver or gems. However, if it is something interesting or unique, you can exchange it with me. As long as I think it is good, I can exchange it."
"Strange...interesting?"
"That's right, but I have to identify it first."
At this point, Red Ponytail couldn't help but think of the rocket launcher that was hidden as a treasure. With the nature of this world, who knows what kind of weird stuff it might be. If they got an old World War II tank or some tank gun and told her it was a precious treasure, she would cry to death.
In the end, Princess Anrietta ended the conversation by saying "I need to think about it", and Red Ponytail didn't expect to get the order immediately, so she said goodbye and left.
"What do you think, Master Military Planner?"
After the two left, Princess Anrietta immediately asked the old man beside her.
"It is indeed a very terrible weapon."
In response to the princess's question, the old man nodded.
"If it is true as that lady said, that she has enough weapons, then it will be enough to take the kingdom's strength to a higher level."
"Then, just do as she says..."
"Please don't be too impatient, Your Highness."
However, this time the old man interrupted the princess.
"The national treasury doesn't have enough property at the moment, and the other party doesn't want money, so it's hard to say. And... I think we should continue investigating."
"investigation?"
"That's right. The weapons she brought out all used technologies we have never seen before. We don't know which faction she represents. More importantly, although she said she was a familiar summoned by Miss Valier, I have never heard of anyone being able to summon a human as a familiar."
Hearing this, the princess frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"Do you think Louise is lying to me?"
"Of course not, but there is no guarantee that someone will not deliberately use her to get close to Her Royal Highness."
"What can you gain by approaching a decoration like me?"
Hearing this, Anrietta smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Isn't that what's being rumored on the street? The royal family of Tristan has beautiful women but no wand. The one who holds the wand is the Grand Councilor Mazzarini, the one with the gray hat, Birdbone."
The man narrowed his eyes at the princess' words.
"It's just a rumor."
"Yeah, it's just a rumor..."
Having said this, Anrietta sighed tiredly.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Sir Military Planner."
