Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 470 The Strange Vaal Priest
A knight order called the Giant Horned Viper was established with exactly 100 people. The members who passed the poisonous snake ceremony never mentioned the process of this meeting, but they still insisted on joining in the end.

As the only woman, Orthea was appointed as the knight commander, responsible for the recruitment of personnel, and under the order of the great mentor Elvis, recruited trained young and middle-aged humans in Qingyan Port.

And Elvis, who officially became the Grand Mentor, is making final preparations for the Knights.

In a military factory a little far from Qingyan Port, a remote laboratory looks particularly abrupt, with piles of waste-like materials randomly placed outside the house, iron swords, shields, spears, artillery, and even in the corner of this garbage dump Find dangerous items like grenades.

"Are you sure Juan is here?" Elvis was a little puzzled and asked his old friend.

The old friend nodded, stretched out his stiff arms and pointed at the houses in the middle of the dump,

"Since he came to Lustria from Vaal Anvil, he has been staying here."

Looking at this abandoned building, Elvis felt that this could not be the residence of a Vaal priest. Even the poorest fishermen in Ulthuan were a hundred times better than this.

"I still have work to do, so I won't take you in, just let me know when I come out." The old friend walked slowly towards the gate of the military factory with heavy steps.

Elvis saluted him with a salute. As a severely wounded person in the Battle of the Fennoire Plain, this soldier is still unwilling to give up his identity and is willing to dedicate his life to the kingdom.

Frowning and walking into this "garbage dump" surrounded by earthen walls, Elvis did not expect that there would be such a barren land in the military factory.
He heard that a highly skilled Vaal priest was transferred to Lustria six years ago, and it happened that the Knights lacked personnel to maintain equipment, so he wanted to invite him to join.

But this situation seems a bit unexpected, why didn't I find so many strange things in Caledon before.

Knocking on the door, Elvis cleared his throat and said to the room,
"Is Priest Juan here? I am Elvis from the Harandur family of Wind Howl City. I have something to visit."

There was a long silence, except for the cries of birds passing by, there was no sound here.

He noticed that there was even a thick layer of gray at the door, and he couldn't help thinking,

"Isn't it dead? It looks like no one has been here for a long time."

Fortunately, the situation was a little bit better than expected. There were footsteps in the house, and the wooden door slowly opened amidst a creak.

A half-naked Vaal priest with muscular muscles and strange tattoos opened the door. The blindfolded black cloth was replaced with windproof goggles, and his hair was not the long hair elves were used to, only a little over two inches.

Juan's tone was a little blunt, and he was very unwelcome to this person from a big family.

"What's the matter, didn't you see a sign saying no to visit at the door?"

Elvis glanced at the door, and found that there was indeed a sign, but it had been blown down by the wind, and it was still covered with a layer of black dust.

"Sorry, the sign you put up has been blown down by the wind."

"Could it be that you can knock on the door if you are blown down by the wind? There is no connection at all."

Confused by these words, Elvis couldn't help thinking.Is this Priest Vaal, or a lunatic?

However, Juan didn't pay too much attention to the brand. He held the windproof goggles with his hand and said, "Tell me, what's the matter? If you want to enchant weapons, then go to the church office. I don't accept orders here .”

"We are the newly formed knights of the giant horned viper, and we would like to ask you to be the armorer."

Taking out a certificate of authentication stamped by the palace, Elvis handed it to Juan. Although he didn't know if this person was reliable, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

"I'm blind."

Juan said angrily, but still accepted the certificate. Priest Vaal naturally had a unique way to understand the written text.

Feeling the meaning expressed by the symbolic words line by line with your fingers, the originally livid face eased a lot, and even a little excited at the end.

In the end, I couldn't help but ask, "So you were established under the signal of the prince, but you don't belong to the military order of the court, and you have the qualifications to recruit soldiers and purchase armaments?"

"That's right, we believe in Sotek..." Elvis wanted to explain the core issue of the knight order, so as to prevent Priest Vaal from mistakenly thinking that it was a force that believed in the father of dragons.

But soon, he was grabbed by the excited Juan and walked towards the house.

"Oh, you guys are really weird, but it doesn't matter, I just like people like you."

"why?"

Juan's originally happy face turned cold when he was told this question, and he could only complain,
"I was transferred from Vaal Anvil to Lustria six years ago. My original job was to enchant some experimental hot weapons, but my main job is still forging weapons."

"But at that time, I discovered a very frightening thing."

Elvis was a little curious. It seemed that the experience of this Vaal priest was a bit unusual. "What horrible thing would make you like this? Turn the place where you live into a garbage dump."

"A musket only needs a low-quality barrel, plus some parts and gunpowder, and in the hands of an untrained person, it can have the power of an Asur archer who has been trained for hundreds of years.

The cost of a cannon is only one-twentieth of the Dragon Claw Ballista, and it does not require magic to maintain. As long as it is skilled, even a human can repair it on the spot, but in terms of firepower, there is almost no difference between the two. "

"So you've turned your attention to thermal weapons?"

Juan became a little excited, as if this matter was the most important thing in the world to him.

"No, so I think there must be deep knowledge in it. I want to use magic to make hot weapons more powerful. Vaal is the god of forging and the god who creates all weapons. I am following his instructions to make this A weapon that the elves haven't discovered the potential of, blooming with true glory!"

"You... are really unique." Elvis didn't know what to say, the elves always resisted hot weapons, thinking that they were only used by monkeys and dwarves.

"Come on, let me show you my success over the past few years. Since it was established by the prince, these things can also be used by you."

Juan took Elvis to a basement. Compared with the messy dump outside the house, the place was undoubtedly much neater, with all kinds of guns and short cannons. He also saw two rune tables specially used for enchanting, and related alchemy equipment.

There is a protective bookshelf in the corner, which is covered with various books on mechanical engineering. Elvis, who was in charge of receiving the empire’s supplies, noticed it and found that some of them were not in circulation in the market, and besides the rare and precious Material.

It is likely that the prince was Juan's patron.

Juan rummaged through the box and found a revolver, which was more gorgeous than anything Elvis had ever seen before, with golden patterns like rose flowers on it, and a faint gleam on the surface.
