The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 36

"Teacher, is this?"

Sasha stared at the polygonal cylindrical tube in Eckert's hand. Sasha, who had never seen such a strange device, felt very curious.

She couldn't help but peek in from the front of the gun barrel, but she really couldn't see the mystery of this black thing.

"Don't go there, it's dangerous."

Ickert pushed Sasha aside with just one finger, and then pressed his right hand on the protruding mithril steel.

"Stand up obediently and watch my demonstration."

"Good teacher."

Little Sasha nodded, and obediently stood aside and stopped talking.

Not only her, but Hammerhead beside him was also very curious.

The iron man's muscles were covered with sweat, and his body looked like he had just been fished out of the Vanvna River, reflecting the fire of the furnace.

Blacksmithing is quite a labor-intensive task, not to mention the forging process invented by the lord.

And he was tossed by the lord for so long, and finally shot a pipe?
It wasn't a sharp sword, or an ax or spear, but it cost him so much strength just for a steel pipe without a blade!

What is the use of this?Is the Lord Lord crazy or is he crazy?
At this time, the barrel held by Ickert in his hand was not long, at best it was a slightly longer pistol.

However, Ickert is quite satisfied with this. In any case, he has already started the first step towards modernization.

Use mental power to control the outflow of magic power, and the magic power is quickly transmitted to the magic circle through Mithril steel.

If he had depicted a simple "exploding" magic circle, then when the magic power flowed into the magic circle, the magic pressure would be released automatically after meeting the release requirements.

But there is an obvious problem with this, that is, it takes time for the magic power to flow into the magic circle and the increase in magic pressure, which is the delay in casting.

The shortcoming of casting delay is acceptable for continuous magic, but for instant spells, the cost of delaying the mandatory release is too high.

Generally speaking, when the magic circle is closed, the mage will add a "stimulation circuit" to replace the spiritual power to continuously stimulate the magic circle.

In order to instantly fire this magic circle when needed, Ickert canceled this structure and replaced it with an independent magic shock circle. This built-in magic circle, which is equivalent to a switch, can help him control the timing of firing.

It stands to reason that using mental power to directly provoke the magic circle would have the same effect, but the magic gun must be distributed to everyone after all, and there are many things involved in it. In short, a separate activation of the magic circle is necessary.

Ickert used his mental power to provoke the magic circle a little bit, and it was very easy, as if he had glared at someone.

The magic circle was activated immediately, a burst of blue light flashed, and faint flames spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, which disappeared in an instant.

In contrast, the vibration of the barrel itself is not obvious, and there is not much explosion sound during the whole release process, but the recoil force is relatively sufficient.

"It's over, is it over?"

Sasha only had time to see a flash of magic flame, and then the gun in Ikert's hand was completely silent.

"My lord, what is the purpose of this black pipe?"

Hammerhead couldn't hold back his excitement anymore. He thought that the lord's things would emit magical flames, but he didn't expect that it would only be for a moment.

He really wanted to know what this thing was for.

The lord is a noble mage, and he always counts as exhaustive.

Such a lord, it is impossible to use such a great effort to toss such a thing just for entertainment.

Hammerhead believes that this should be a sharp weapon, even a magic weapon!

If it was really a magic weapon, then his Hammerhead's status as a blacksmith would skyrocket!
Making a handful of handed down treasures is the pursuit of all blacksmiths!

Ickert saw the excitement of Hammerhead, the temptation of magic weapons has never been small.

"This is a magic gun, but it is far from being formed, and it is still a little short of its power."

"Magic gun?"

Hammer carefully savored the words Ickert said. The word gun was not in the common language of the Empire, so Ickert basically inherited the vocabulary on Blue Star and created a word.

This made it difficult for Hammerhead to understand, and he could only tentatively regard this word as the Lord Lord specially picked it up for this weapon.

After making the gun, Ickert just wanted to find a place to shoot it first, but now that there is no bullet in the gun, the gun in his hand is naturally useless.

Then he looked at Hammerhead again, and solemnly said:
"Hammerhead, the production of the magic gun has not been completed yet, you go get another mold and melt and cast some iron balls for me, which should be slightly smaller than the barrel of the gun!"

"Yes! Lord Lord!"

Hammerhead turned around and started to work again. Because he didn't know what the lead mine looked like, Ickert couldn't even melt the lead bullet.

However, iron bullets should also work.

While the hammerhead was busy, Ickert went to a carpenter to cut a pistol body out, and fixed the barrel with thin iron sheets and nails, thus finalizing the prototype of the magic gun.

After a lot of work, the time has come to the next morning. Ikett is so tired that he is suddenly in awe of human technology.

A gun made him toss like this. Thinking of those extremely complicated industrial machines, Ickert felt that he might as well kill him.

There is no need to think about completely copying it, he can feel more comfortable doing research by himself.

In the end, Ickert picked up the thin wooden stick trimmed by the carpenter and used it as a cleaning rod. The polished iron ball fit the gun barrel very well, and Ickert easily drove the iron bullet into it.

Then raise the gun and head into the woods, bang!

Different from the previous empty-bore shooting, this time, little Sasha was so frightened that she covered her ears!

But it was already too late, because of the sudden incident, the little girl was hit hard on the ear.

Sasha's uncomfortable expression was seen by Ickert, but when it came to noise, Ickert felt the same way.

He knew that the gunshots would be loud, but he didn't take the initiative to cover his ears, but felt the wonderful sound to his heart's content!

Hear the gunshot!What a delight!
"Hahahahaha!"

Ickert was happy, he was so happy!
But some people are very unhappy.

"Pip! Pip! Damn it! My Pip! How could this happen!"

The Gnoll Black Ax managed to drag Pip back from the woods. They just wanted to investigate the situation of humans today. They didn't expect to encounter such a thing
He and Pip were quietly observing in the woods to record the situation in the human territory, but they came across that weapon!

That human, running around with a dwarf human, I don't know what he is busy with.

At first, Pip and Black Ax didn't care, until the human took out the black pipe and shot into the woods regardless of 21!
When that ear-piercing sound sounded, Black Ax once thought he had been exposed!

Fortunately, the human didn't chase it out, which made Black Ax bold enough to drag the unlucky Pip out.

But that presumptuous laughter seemed to be mocking their incompetence, which made Black Ax very annoyed.

Poor unlucky Pip to be hit by such a random attack!

The bullet pierced Pip the Gnoll's chest, causing him to bleed profusely.
However, this jackal man insisted on not revealing himself, and he didn't even snort, so he dragged the black ax out of the perimeter of the territory abruptly.

"Pip! Hang in there! You're a real warrior!"

Black Ax hurriedly wanted to heal Pip, but he didn't know where to start.

"Quick! Pip, respond to me! Look at me! Don't fall asleep! You'll die!"

Black Ax tried his best to keep his companions awake, but he didn't get a response from Pip.

He took a closer look and found that Pip had already fainted from the pain.

No wonder you didn't make a sound all the way
Anyway, Pip must be rescued now!
First, take out the thing that hit Pip's chest, carefully and slowly.
Um.
It seems to have touched it, a slippery, hard bead?
This should be it!
I suck!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"
