Chapter 118: Everyone has a desire for power



When Karl heard that Bixin City had sent someone to look for him, he thought he had heard it wrong.

After all, he is just a child, what does Bixin City want him for? But Ryan thought Karl really didn’t hear it clearly, so he repeated what he just said.

After confirming that it was indeed the officials from Bixin City who were looking for him, Karl covered his forehead and felt dizzy.

After a while, he finally woke up from his dream.

"Then let's go!"

Following his father Ryan, Carl came to the reception room inside the factory.

As soon as he entered the door, a kind-looking old man came forward and shook Karl's hand.

"Is this Carl? He is truly a hero at a young age!"

The old man was wearing a light armor robe made of linen mixed with bronze and wood, which was the standard equipment for the official druids of Eruden.

It is something similar to the executive jacket from the previous life.

“No, no…”

Responding modestly, Carl sat on the sofa beside the old man.

The old man didn't beat around the bush. As soon as he sat down, he started talking about serious matters.

"The City Hall of Wana City has sent the sample of your new fire gun to Bixin City. We all agree that this is an excellent weapon that can greatly enhance the combat capability of the rangers. I heard that Carl is a strange machine master who is studying at Akanix, so we thought of asking you to help design another weapon."

Having said that, the old man waved behind him, and the two ranger guards who had been standing in the corner before Carl entered the room immediately stepped forward, looking very excited.

"These two are the training instructors for the two ranger sub-professions of Monster Slayer and Cluster Shepherd. The reason I'm here today is to ask you to help them."

Karl was somewhat uncomfortable with Bixin City's emphasis on him, and he did not dare to say too much, so he said modestly: "I can't guarantee that I can design it, so tell me the requirements first!"

The two ranger guards looked at each other, then rushed to speak.

The scene was chaotic until the old druid coughed loudly, and then the two of them quieted down.

"The situation over there is quite dangerous, let him speak first."

Perhaps because he felt that the two people's behavior just now was a bit embarrassing, the old man's tone became much heavier.

Tok, the Monster Killer sub-professional instructor, stepped forward and explained his request to Carl.

"Student Carl, we, the rangers of the Monster Killer subclass, are responsible for clearing the Dusk Woods and defending the area bordering the north of Droum. In order to deal with monsters such as vampires and undead, we need a way to more conveniently replace weapons and ammunition."

After saying this, the ranger looked at Carl nervously, as if he felt that his request was a bit unreasonable.

However, after hearing the other party's request, Carl was stunned. It was not that the other party's request was too high, but that he could meet the other party's request now.

"Dad, go tell Lisanna to get the suit I just made for her."

Although the improved version that has just been produced still has many areas that need to be improved, the revolver that can replace four types of ammunition actually meets the requirements of the ranger instructor.

"Hmm? No need! Let's go over there!"

Hearing that Carl seemed to have a finished product, the old druid didn't put on airs and just followed him to the shooting range to take a look.

Soon, the group arrived at the newly built shooting range.

Lisanna was still playing over there, the two revolvers in her hands looking cool and deadly.

She has even been able to change the wheels while performing various cool moves.

"This new revolver pistol uses a special technique to connect to the Airona quiver. It currently supports the replacement of up to three special bullets and one commonly used unlimited bullet."

Looking at Lisanna who was absorbed in showing off, Carl tried to remind her while introducing the functions of the revolver.

Lisanna was surprised to see someone coming in and immediately stopped what she was doing. She stood up straight with a flustered look on her face.

Walking quickly to Lisanna's side, the ranger named Tok asked her, "Little friend, can you let me try the weapon in your hand?"

Although she was extremely reluctant, Lisanna finally took off her quiver and handed the two revolvers to the other party.

Under Carl's guidance, Tok quickly mastered its usage.

"Great! It's really great! This is exactly what we need!"

Toke shouted excitedly, not expecting that his problem would be solved directly.

The other ranger was jealous, so he also expressed his request.

His request sounded relatively simple, just wanting the musket to have the power of cluster spirit added to it.

But sometimes, simple-sounding requests are difficult to achieve.

"Sorry, I don't have any ideas for the moment about how to combine the fire gun with the power of the cluster spirit, but can you accept the use of long-handled weapons?"

After explaining the idea of ​​making the Insect Control Stick to the Cluster Shepherd Ranger, and looking at the increasingly lively look in his eyes, Carl felt that he might be tempted.

“When will the finished product be available?”

Because it uses nature's essence to act as an insect hunter, the development of this weapon requires the cooperation of a Cluster Shepherd Ranger.

They can use the power of nature spirits to move themselves or monsters, and can even learn the 0-level trick of Mage's Hand.

Compared with their powerful attack power, they are indeed more suitable for using insect sticks to fight with their opponents.

"Give me three days and I should be able to make a trial version that's almost ready, but I need your cooperation at all times."

Hearing Carl's request, the Ranger immediately nodded and said:

"Cooperate! I'm ready to cooperate at any time!"

After the time was set, the old druid followed Ryan back to the living room, leaving only Carl and Lisanna at the shooting range.

Naturally, the equipment was taken away by the Tok Ranger, so Lisanna could only act coquettishly towards Carl again.

"Brother Carl~"

"Okay, don't think about getting a new weapon these days. Aren't you afraid that the ranger will take it away again? Once they leave, I'll make you a better one!"

"Um!"

After hearing Carl's promise, Lisanna finally burst into laughter.

It was almost evening when Ryan saw off the old druid and his group.

I don’t know what the druid promised Ryan, but before even going home, he urged Carl to start work as soon as possible.

"Are you pushing your son like that? Be careful or I'll strike you!"

Sitting in the carriage, Carl put on airs in response to Ryan's urging.

"Tsk! Don't worry! Do you know what the druid promised? A position! Your father has already stepped half a foot into the officialdom!"

Although Eluden is mainly governed by druids and druid societies, as the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise, and some industries still need to be governed by professionals.

For example, in terms of arms and weapons.

And obviously, the old druid used this as a carrot to lure Ryan.

Everyone has a certain addiction to power.
