Chapter 278: 276: Maxim Magic Machine Gun (Subscribe)
Two days later,
Outside the city of Auxerre, in mid-air.
The moon spaceship was hovering, with seven fourth-order natural disaster warriors standing on the left and right, with a magnificent aura, as if more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
Of course, the other side is not to be outdone.
In the void, from all directions, a mighty aura surged, some powerful, some mysterious, some masculine, some sharp, some dark...
None of them showed up, but the amount of aura they revealed was definitely no less than that of the people brought by Grand Duke Carlisle.
However, at this time, Grand Duke Carlisle was not afraid at all. He looked calm and lazy, like a well-fed beast, showing a bit of leisure and ease.
It was not until Grand Duchess Aphra rode a golden magic carpet into the air that the two sides could see each other from a distance.
They did not shout for war or tear each other apart, but instead showed their polite side.
Grand Duchess Aphra even smiled and said, "Welcome Grand Duke Carlisle to the Norman Duchy. Your arrival brings glory to the city of Auxerre."
The Duke of Carlisle also smiled, his smile much gentler: "It is my honor to be greeted personally by the Grand Duke of Norman."
"Then let's go down and talk. If there's anything we can talk about, it will be easier to solve it."
"I've been waiting for you to say that, please!"
"please!"
Then, everyone saw that the fourth level was surrounding them, full of momentum, as if a big battle was about to happen in the next second.
But in the center, the two grand dukes were having a pleasant conversation, talking and laughing.
This is the hypocrisy and compromise that aristocrats should have!
…
Flower collar.
Lion Manor, second floor, in the study.
Luo Yi looked at the message in his hand and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
Three days, just three days, and the matter that had been delayed for several months was completely resolved.
Grand Duke Carlisle first discussed with Grand Duchess Aphra, and it was unknown what promises were made or what agreement was reached, but the Grand Duke actually stood by and watched without expressing his opinion.
Then, Grand Duke Carlisle found several other nobles and used threats, coercion, or promises to make them his pawns.
They attacked the nobles who were trying to get their hands on the Carlisle family like crazy.
Even Earl Wick, who received the message from Roy and stopped quickly, could not escape punishment.
But he didn't dare to do anything, let alone fight back, and could only swallow his loss.
As for the successor of the Marquis of Carlisle, the new Marquis, the Grand Duke's selection method was even simpler and more brutal.
He doesn't look at background, ability, or strength.
He simply fed all the candidates a poison that suppressed their fighting spirit and even their physical fitness.
Then, they took off all their armor and magic items, only gave them the most basic longswords, and locked them in the Colosseum.
Grand Duke Carlisle's original words were that only the most brutal one was the Marquis Carlisle needed.
This is the Carlisle family. They may not have talent or gifts, but they must be cruel enough.
Not only is he cruel to his enemies, he is also cruel to himself.
This is the family style of the Carlisle family. You can say it is crazy, but it is also terrifying enough.
In the end, only one of the twelve descendants of the Carlisle family came out.
His name was Theron Carlisle. He was of the most insignificant branch of the family and had been discriminated against since childhood. But now, he had become one of the most distinguished people in the Norman Duchy, the new Marquis of Carlisle.
The Grand Duke of Carlisle then took him with him for three days.
Just three days later, when this man reappeared, he was another Grand Duke of Carlisle.
If you only learn a little bit of the similarity, you will be as feared as a tiger.
Of course, the war reparations promised to Loy by the Grand Duke of Carlisle were also delivered.
Two hundred thousand of the finest Bonaparte gold shields, each weighing the same as one and a half Norman gold coins, were escorted by three extraordinary knights and a third-level wizard.
Just on the third day after the moon spacecraft left, it went upstream along the Ruhr River and was handed over to Loy.
At this point, the noble war in Frost Moon Canyon has come to an end.
However, Luo Yi was not happy at all.
Although he did not lose face or money, the fact that someone came to his door to attack him still made him feel humiliated as if he was forced to sign a humiliating treaty.
Beep beep beep!
There was a knock on the door, bringing Luo Yi back to his senses. He said, "Come in!"
Butler Hoover pushed the door open and stepped aside, only to see a slim girl walk in.
She was wearing a bright red robe, which made her look bright and bold. She wore a belt around her waist, which highlighted the perfect curves of her upper body.
Her little face was white and clean, her skin was as delicate as a baby's, her eyes were big and bright, and there was a strange feeling of calmness yet a storm brewing inside.
This person is none other than the granddaughter of Mage Mennon, a Level 2 LV9 mechanical mage, Christina Becker.
She looked at Luo Yi, without any fear in her eyes, but rather some curiosity, curiosity about people of the same age.
She asked, "Count Loy, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Luo Yi looked at her and did not speak immediately. Instead, he pointed at the table with his finger and remained silent, as if hesitating.
Christina was a little dissatisfied and said, "Count Loy, if you have something to say, please tell me. If not, I will leave."
Roy finally looked up at Christina and asked, "I heard that you love magical firearms and hope to become a respected gunsmith?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Christina responded, then looked at Luo Yi with shining eyes and asked, "Do you want me to help you build your own magic firearm?
Hahaha, you have good taste. I will definitely produce a work that will satisfy you.
However, you have to prepare the materials yourself, and I can give you a discount on the handling fee!"
Luo Yi smiled and did not answer. Instead, he said, "Don't you think that the current magical firearms have gone astray?"
Christina frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What do you mean? Can you please stop playing tricks and just say what you want to say?"
Luo Yi said to himself: "In fact, this world is not short of powerful professions. Not to mention those rare professions in ancient times, even those in the current Tongchuan Continent who reach high positions can possess powerful strength.
"Hey, why do we need an extra magic gunner? Why do we need magic firearms? What advantages do these magic firearms have?"
These three questions finally calmed Christina down. She followed Loy's train of thought, tilted her head and thought for a long time, but her brows were getting tighter and tighter.
"So? You think it's wrong to create powerful magical firearms?"
"No, it's not a mistake, just different needs."
Luo Yi said: “A truly powerful magic gunner naturally needs special firearms to maximize their abilities and compete with the truly powerful.
This is one path, but it is by no means the whole story of magic firearms!"
"In my opinion, the greatest role of magical firearms, and even magical cannons, is actually to bridge the gap between the weak and the strong."
"A magic apprentice who has just started meditating may not know any magic, but with a magical firearm, they can kill a knight who has trained for several years, or even more than ten years, instantly!
If they could concentrate their training for a while longer and form an army, they could even bring down a powerful knight order on their way to a charge."
At this moment, Luo Yi looked directly at Christina, his voice low and full of energy: "If, I mean if, if we can invent more powerful standard magic firearms and equip more military magic gunners, is it possible to make the third-level extraordinary people die on the battlefield?
Is it possible to make even the noble fourth-order natural disaster retreat?"
Christina almost blurted out: "How is this possible?"
"Before the advent of magical firearms, did you ever imagine that a meditative mage apprentice could defeat a full-fledged knight?"
Christina shook her head and explained, “But, but, but that’s different?
A third-level transcendent has many methods, not to mention a fourth-level powerhouse, who is like a small natural disaster!"
Luo Yi smiled, leaned back, and whispered, "If you don't even dare to think about it, how can you create powerful magic firearms?"
Christina finally reacted, and she said loudly: "Loy, Earl Loy, don't talk to me about these things.
Now, tell me, what on earth did you call me here for?"
"I would like you to design a magical firearm. The requirements are that it should be durable, adaptable, low-cost, have great lethality, and be easy to maintain.
I will use it to arm my legion, and moreover, to put an end to the age of knights."
After a pause, Roy continued, "Christina, do you want to complete such an epoch-making magical firearm?"
“I would, but that’s impossible!
If it were really that simple, I'm afraid too many mechanical mages would have achieved it, and the main force of the Empire wouldn't be using the second-generation magic rifle. "
Luo Yi grinned: “Just because they can’t, doesn’t mean I can’t, and doesn’t mean you can’t do it.
If you want, I will help you."
Christina was silent for a moment, then continued, "If there really is such a weapon as you described, I will definitely inform the Empire!"
"When I came to you, I never thought of hiding it from the Empire. As long as the Empire gives me some of its share and doesn't take it all, that's fine."
Having said that, Roy added, "After you succeed, you can go find His Majesty Saint Bartholomew."
"In that case, I can promise you. Tell me, what shocking designs do you have?"
Luo Yi raised his hand, and the Proverbs Ring appeared. Magical light surged, and a stack of information appeared.
He pushed the information in front of Christina and said, "This is the heavy machine gun I want you to design.
It uses a canvas ammunition bag with a capacity of 333 rounds. It can be fed continuously, and you can also choose single shot, continuous fire, and adjust the rate of fire.
Its effective range is 2,000 meters and its theoretical rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute."
"Just like in Frost Moon Canyon, with just three of these heavy machine guns, we can form a fire network in a small area, blocking all attack routes. No matter how many people come, they will all be killed!"
"I gave this magic machine gun a name: the Maxim Magic Heavy Machine Gun!"
At this moment, Christina could no longer hear what Roy said. She was just attracted by the design drawing of the weapon, her eyes wide open.
Here is the first update, there will be more to come!
