Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 182 Ebony and White Ivory

The conversation with Ezio gave Purficott a new information channel, and also allowed her to know a lot of information and undercurrents hidden under the peaceful surface of Langton.

"So the conservatives are trying to incite the academic and religious circles to criticize me to undermine my reputation?" Listening to the information Ezio introduced to him about the Assassin Brotherhood, Perficot had the urge to laugh.

If this happened a year ago, Purficott might still be very angry; two years ago, she would be so angry that she would hide and cry alone.

But now, for the northern lords, this is not painful at all, and even makes people feel funny.

Do these conservatives know about the end times? Purficott believes that they still know. After all, they are also a major political faction in the empire. If you say that they have no idea at all, you are definitely looking down on them.

But in the face of such a disaster, it is somewhat difficult for them to expect them to be able to analyze the situation rationally, or to have a long-term perspective to judge what should be done now.

Of course, if you look at it from their perspective and cognition, they will think that they are doing the right thing.

After all, the catastrophe of world destruction is about to come. At this time, what the empire needs is mature and stable people who can take into account the interests of the ruling class to lead the entire country, rather than letting a little girl who is still young to do whatever she wants.

Not to mention, in their opinion, the empire should be inherited by Justinian, and the new king should be assisted by nobles. This is the fine tradition passed down from the beginning of Victoria's founding of the country.

Isn't this better? If the king is a wise king, how can he show the virtuousness of the ministers who assist the king in governing?

"What are you going to do with them?" Hearing Purficott's sneer, Ezio asked, and at the same time showed his weapon to Purficott: "If you need it, the Assassin Brotherhood I can help you get rid of them.”

Although thanks to the Industrial Revolution, kings became emperors and nobles were no longer what they used to be, but in such difficult moments, nobles were still needed to lead the people. How could those weak-legged people govern the country well?

Now that we have entered the industrial age, the old monarchs of the feudal era can also consider turning it into a mascot, right?

After all, that group of bourgeoisie has been clamoring about constitutional monarchy. Isn’t this just the aristocratic discussion in the past? In the past, the king only took care of the land directly under his own control, and major national affairs still had to be discussed with the nobles.

And more importantly, a faint king is more conducive to being controlled and manipulated.

Thinking of this, Purficott couldn't help but sneer. She knew clearly that these old nobles were so short-sighted.

As for Justinian being an incompetent waste, he will only become a fatuous and incompetent emperor after succeeding to the throne?

For Ezio, it is not difficult to eliminate a few corrupt nobles.

The reason why they were not touched in the past was just because these nobles who were living in corpse positions did not hinder them. In addition, the Assassin Brotherhood was not an organization that killed people indiscriminately, so they would not touch these old nobles.

But now if they hinder the fate of the entire human race, the assassin's sword will not mind being stained with blood. However, Purficott did not respond to Ezio's determination. On the contrary, she was very interested in the weapons displayed by Ezio.

It was a hidden sword fixed on the arm like an arm guard, and it had also been modified and equipped with a pistol.

"Did my father help you modify it? This pistol was added..." Before Ezio could react, Perficot removed the arm guard from his arm and held it in his hand to study. : "It's too rough. Although it's a very sophisticated design, it's still too rough. Don't you think this pistol is too inconvenient to use?"

Hearing Purficot's comment, Ezio was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it's okay. Your father designed a paper-cased bullet. You only need to insert one round into the gun chamber when using it, and then tear it apart." The broken paper shell can be fired by lighting it with flint, and it can still be used in emergencies at critical moments."

This comment made Purficott shake his head, then turned around and started rummaging through the cabinets in the laboratory.

Under Ezio's confused gaze, Purficott quickly pulled out a long wooden box from the cabinet and placed it in front of him.

"Open it and take a look. I made this for fun a long time ago." Purficott started over again and motioned for Ezio to open the box, while she herself drew an alchemy circle on the table and added Ezio to it. After throwing O's hidden sword in, he began to modify it.

Ezio was a little worried about his hidden blade, but remembering that he still had a spare one, and that Perficott was an alchemy master as powerful as his parents, he held back what he wanted to say, and instead opened the sword in front of him. Box.

Inside the box were two weapons that Ezio had never seen before. They looked like two guns, but they were not common styles nowadays. One black and one white handle and the iron-black gun body looked very beautiful. Making them not like weapons, but like works of art.

Ezio took out one of them and studied it carefully. Although he quickly figured out how to use this thing, he could not find a place to load bullets.

This made him turn to Purficott, who was dismantling the hidden sword, and asked her: "How do you load this? I don't see a place to open the barrel, and there is no place to install flint."

"Forget about the backward method of flintlock. Today's technology can already use mercury fulminate to make flash caps, thus achieving simpler and more convenient bullet firing." Purficott replied to Ezio before explaining How to use those two weapons: "There are bullets and magazines at the bottom of the box. Press the bullet into the magazine, then insert the magazine into the handle, pull the upper slide to load, that is, press the bullet Into the chamber of the gun.

I originally wanted to make it an unloadable version, but the Empire's magicians couldn't get the enchantments I wanted, so the design had to be shelved.

Now the barrels of these two guns each have an enchantment that adds fire and frost damage, but apart from making the bullets show different killing effects after hitting them, they are not of much use.

It is powerful enough to kill an elephant at a distance of fifty meters, and does not require any additional special effects. "

"What are their names?" Ezio followed Purficott's instructions and pressed the brass-colored bullet into the magazine, inserted the magazine into the handle, loaded the gun and tried dual-wielding. Purficott asked the names of the two guns.

"Ebony and white ivory." Purficott said the name he originally gave out of fun.
