Chapter 127: Fire-type fighting spirit?
"Brian, if I want to add other inscriptions on this gun barrel besides the one you mentioned, is that possible?"
"Of course, sir. With the paint I invented, I can use it to ignite the inscriptions on such a long musket. At the very least, I can engrave two simple inscriptions on it."
Without any hesitation, Brian answered Gervis affirmatively, his eyes sparkling. Although he had no other thoughts when he gave Gervis advice, he was simply interested in this aspect and wanted to help improve this unprecedented weapon.
But if Gervis could clear out his few remaining materials, he would never have to worry about food and clothing again in his life. Only those who have suffered know how terrible poverty is.
"Great, Brian, thank you for your advice! I'll come see you in a few days!"
After getting a positive answer, Gervis already had a bold idea in his mind, but it was still in the conceived stage, so Gervis planned to talk to Brian about this matter in a few days.
If you want to improve the musket according to Brian's method, you need to improve the ignition component of the musket, but this is not very difficult. Gervis has a memory of various messy firearm structures. Although he cannot remember them all, he can still imitate a feasible ignition device by piecing them together.
Of course, when Gervis went to Brian, he would only produce one or two muskets according to the improved method. After all, 1 gold coin was only for improving the triggering device. If he wanted to add other inscriptions, it should be similar to strengthening the longsword, and at least 4 gold coins would be needed.
By this calculation, a musket requires at least 5 gold coins, which is much more expensive than mithril equipment. Gervis is not a rich man, and his family does not have a mine. Oh no, he has a mine, but it is not a gold mine.
Therefore, the only weapon that can be equipped to the Royal Guards at present is this type of matchlock rifle. The improved ones can be used by himself. As for the others, everything will be discussed later.
After returning to the castle with his musket contentedly, Gerves went back to his laboratory and began to make his grenades. With his previous experience, everything went according to plan. However, in order to increase the power, Gerves deliberately wrapped a lot of lead bullets with paper inside the iron sheet. This way, the power of the explosion could kill nearby enemies, and the flying lead bullets could also cause damage to people who were not at the center of the explosion.
Since there are only three tin cans at present, Gervis can only get three grenades today. These are the weapons he is going to use against the unicorn. As long as they are proven to be effective and feasible, he will prepare to make dozens or even hundreds of them as real war reserves.
After the grenade was made, Gervis returned to the inner castle and went into the study, where he began to draw the blueprints of the short musket and the improved musket. The tremendous power of the musket gave him hope of making up for the lack of manpower under his command, and he was even more looking forward to the enhanced musket. In this way, Gervis spent the day's life as a lord in a busy manner.
…
The next day, Gervis got up very early. When he walked down the stairs, the servants of the castle were cleaning. The servants were very surprised to see Gervis get up so early, and hurried to greet him.
After a hearty breakfast, Gervis went to the training space. After Bernard's night visit to the castle, Gervis realized that this world was very dangerous and he was still very weak.
So during this period of time, Gervis never interrupted his practice, and he would practice all morning without fail. Today, his Golden Castle will welcome the first noble visitor. According to the envelope from Baron Pat, Baron Pat will arrive around noon, so Gervis deliberately got up early in order to complete his practice before Baron Pat arrived.
When he came to the training space, because the alternation of day and night in the space was more than an hour later than that in the real world, it was already dawn in the real world, but the sky in the training space was still a little hazy. However, it did not matter to Gervis. He walked to the center of the space and began to practice various killing skills. He practiced for more than an hour, and the sky finally brightened.
At this time, Gervis stopped swinging his sword, sat cross-legged on the soft grass, and began to concentrate on recovering the consumed fighting spirit.
A quarter of an hour later, after all the fighting spirit in his body was restored, Gervis took out a book from his clothes. It was the "Flame Fighting Spirit Art" that Bernard gave him yesterday. From Bernard, Gervis learned that this Fighting Spirit Art was a high-level cultivation method, which made Gervis salivate. However, due to the reasons of the church, Gervis struggled for half a night before making up his mind to practice this "Flame Fighting Spirit Art".
Although practicing this "Fiery Fighting Qi Technique" is likely to attract the attention of the church, Gervis feels that he is too weak now and needs to improve his strength as soon as possible. The speed of practicing this advanced practice technique is much faster than the "Basic Practice Technique", which just satisfies his eagerness.
As for the church, doesn't it have to wait until one becomes a Silver Knight before people can see the clues from his fighting spirit? Currently, Gervis is still a Bronze rookie, so how can he have no time to know what will happen in a few years?
Besides, even if he becomes a Silver Knight in a few years, he just needs to not expose himself in front of the church staff. After the fighting spirit leaves the body, different skills do have slight differences, but that requires targeted inspection. Not only inspection, but also physical examination is required to confirm. So Gervis feels that he does not need to be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. He can protect himself in the future and just keep a low profile.
Gervis opened the "Flame Fighting Qi Art" and started to look at it. After reading it carefully page by page, Gervis finally understood why the high-level fighting qi would be faster than the low-level fighting qi cultivation method.
The first crucial step in cultivation is to sense the Qi between heaven and earth, and then separate the spiritual energy. People with high talent have a high affinity for spiritual energy, so the speed of separation is very fast. People with low talent seem to be repelled by spiritual energy, and it takes a lot of effort to separate the spiritual energy needed for cultivation from the Qi of heaven and earth.
However, this "Fiery Fighting Qi Art" teaches people to change their breath through a special method of running qi channels after taking medicine made from certain specific herbs, thereby increasing the affinity between the practitioner and spiritual energy and making it easier to separate spiritual energy from between heaven and earth.
"Hey, why does what this book says sound like what was described in the novel I read in my previous life? Fighting Qi is divided into water, fire, earth and wood?"
After finishing the first stage of the book about preparing potions, he entered the stage of stripping away spiritual energy and circulating it through the body's meridians. However, it was this stage that surprised Gervis.
According to the "Fiery Fighting Qi Art", because of the consumption of the potion, the spiritual energy separated from the heaven and earth will be mixed with a trace of fiery energy. With years of practice, this fiery energy will nourish the body of the practitioner, not only making the body much stronger than that of people of the same level, but also making it highly immune to the invasion of poisons and evil spirits. Of course, that effect can only be achieved when reaching a higher level.
It was this description that surprised Gervis, because in his memory, he did not know the distinction between fighting spirit and earth, wood, water and fire, and Gandalf had never told him. It was not known whether Gandalf did not know or for other reasons.
However, whether what is described in this book is true or not, Gervis only needs to experiment according to what is written in the book to find out. After all, although the materials for preparing the medicine are not cheap, they are not particularly rare and can be prepared as long as one has money.
As long as Gervis's oysters and ice cubes can make money, he doesn't have to worry about potions for cultivation.
