Chapter 91: The Turning Point of the Times

"As you said, the magic and elemental manipulation of the wind are among the best of young people...... No, in fact, it is already possible to remove the prefix of young people. How else can I push? ”

"Who told you to push with brute force? How could I have such a useless disciple. Orucello's face was full of hatred, "Let you use your charm to conquer her heart!" Male charm, you know? ”

"It's good that Lim isn't here, it's really not good for her to hear such a conversation......" Lu Xi thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, according to the faceless one, each generation of the King of the Night Sky still has a few Rausch guardian knights, and they are all so-called alchemy creatures. But no matter how I look at it, it's a bunch of living people. Magic...... Can it really be done at this level? ”

Orucello pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I have already handed over the Star Spirit Summoning Method to you. What kind of contract did you sign? ”

Lu Xi really didn't quite understand the direction of Orucello's questioning, but he still replied: "Zhisuke is an assassin, and she introduced herself as Anji, well, but you also said that the star spirit will not tell the master's real name." Angie should also be a pseudonym. ”

"Well, I'm an assassin, so I can complement your team. With your current mana, you should be able to maintain a second Star Spirit, and you can sign another one next time. ”

"Teacher, with your current realm, how many Star Spirits can you maintain now?" Lu Xi asked curiously.

"There are twenty-four in total, swordsmen, spearmen, knights, and archers, and of course, the most commonly used chariots are because they can travel."

I'm so talkative, and I've been hit again......

Orucello suddenly asked, "So, do you think Angie is like a real life?" ”

"That's natural...... However, the star spirits are the embodiment of the soul fragments of ancient warriors in this world, and it is normal to have real feelings, right? ”

"Since you have feelings, in a sense, it's real life, right?" Orucello muttered, "Since my self-created astral spirit summoning method can summon life, who dares to say that there will be no lost arcane art that can create life in ancient times? ”

Lu Xi feels that this statement is still very reasonable, after all, he comes from a world where science and technology are prosperous and artificial intelligence is almost about to appear, but there is no human fundamentalist thinking that "life is conceived, not manufactured".

But thinking of this, Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh depressedly, his face full of envy and jealousy: "The Book of Night Sky is really a good thing, not only is the main body an extremely powerful artifact, but it can also come with a few cute girls as bodyguards." Teacher, do you have any artifacts, why don't you pass them on to me. ”

"Stinky boy, people are the main body, and equipment is the accessory. What kind of artifact is that Dawn Knight Sword at your waist? But because his master was Parn, he cut off half of the head of the old zombie in Kazan, but his reputation was greater than that of those magic weapons. ”

Lu Xi thought that this statement was also very reasonable, but he muttered in a low voice: "Cut, the equipment in the game is the main body." That group of RMB players often spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to recharge, are they all stupid? ”

Orucello seemed to think of something again, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Besides, if you pursue the delicacy of the instrument too much, it is very likely that you will embark on a path that no one can judge. Many times, the power of external objects far exceeds one's own expectations. Even if you create your own tool, you still can't predict the changes it will bring to the world...... How can you describe this feeling? Well, it's as if your son was born and was able to take on the blade empty-handed. ”

Something strange seems to have slipped in...... Lu Xi saw a flash of hesitation in Orucello's eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tighten: "Hey, your old man couldn't have accidentally made some peerless murder weapon when he was researching, right?" Is it the kind of thing that is infinitely powerful, awe-inspiring, murderous and bloodthirsty, terrifying, and will devour the Lord if you are not careful? ”…,

"Huh? Have you read too many third-rate novels? Even the Demon Lord Ramhid's Calamity Flame doesn't want to eat me back. Even if the artifact has a spirit, it is at most a thing, and the people who will be eaten back are those who are weak-willed, unsympathetic, and full of demons. Orucello sneered proudly, but after half a second, he shook his head helplessly, and said, "What I'm worried about is that these devices are too convenient, so convenient that even a ten-year-old child can use them, and there are no side effects......

I said...... Can you stop playing dumb riddles for us? Aren't you researching obsidian crystals? How does it sound like something strange has been made. Is it a nuclear warhead or poison gas? ”

"Isn't it just because I listened to your kid's foolery that I made strange things." Orucello said angrily.

"Hey, don't slander! I'm just saying that if arcane methods can't effectively use the energy of the obsidian crystal, why not try using scientific, that is, mechanical...... Well, energy and mechanics, I seem to have some enlightenment. ”

Lu Xi thought that he should have thought of something very remarkable, and his brows frowned involuntarily, while Orucello looked around and said, "After all, this place is in the city, and it is very unchanged. You go out of town with me and find a place where no one is around. ”

Orucello had been to the City of Radiance before, and even the geography outside the city was much more familiar than Lu Xi. The master and apprentice left the city, and soon went deep into a forest on the outskirts, and came to a small river in all directions. The trees here are not as dense, creating a natural small square.

"This is the Forbidden Forest, which is the royal hunting ground of the Holy Spring royal family, and ordinary people are usually not allowed to enter it. It's a natural testing ground. ”

"Why are you so familiar with the royal hunting grounds in Auckland?"

"The venison of the deer here is supremely delicious, and I have been here many times before...... Well, it has nothing to do with today's events. Now the question is, this! Orucello took out a small prop from his robe that he could hold with one hand and handed it to Lu Xi.

"Isn't this a musket?" Lu Xi couldn't help but be stunned. Others may not have seen this thing, but Lu Xi, who is essentially an uncle from another world, knows it all too well.

In Lu Xi's eyes, this is an early musket full of Renaissance atmosphere, the barrel should be made of fine brass, smooth with gold, and the handle is ivory, with some beautiful patterns engraved on it, which looks very simple and generous, not so much a weapon as a work of art. Of course, Lu Xi, who already has level 10 in the Demon Literature, is not going to treat these precise and beautiful magic array coats of arms as simple decorations.

"Oh, you know the musket too?" Orucello couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then relieved: "It's not a secret, you have lived in the Norda Forest for so long, you should have seen dwarves." ”

In fact, a thermal weapon similar to a musket was born in this world more than half a century ago. The inventors are not humans, but dwarves who prefer to specialize in technology and equipment than humans.

In another world, the western spread of the crossbow invented by the Chinese has already made the position of the knightly class shaky. "The most humble hands can end the noblest life", which means that a peasant soldier with a crossbow can lightly shoot a knight master who has been professionally trained for more than ten years. After that, the large-scale westward spread of gunpowder, the improvement and development of muskets and artillery, really ended the feudal era with many castles, and began the first centralization and Renaissance of European countries after the Roman era.

In fact, because of the change of weapons, the gap between the elite class and ordinary silk in brute strength has gradually narrowed, and the age of knights is naturally shattered in front of the wheel of history. …,

The new elite class has finally changed its thinking, learned to "rationally" distribute and fool public opinion, and has begun to rule the world with its brains and capital, which is the so-called democratic era.

In any case, there is more love than in the dark ages of violent rule.

And in this world, the emergence of firearms not only does not replace cold weapons, but it is also impossible to shake the violent rule of the elite class. After all, the potential of the creatures here far exceeds the hard-working earthlings, and the physical essence of a bronze-level warrior has already exceeded the limit of the earthlings, not to mention those legendary characters who can mobilize the power of heaven and earth and split the sky and the sea.

In addition, muskets were not necessarily more practical than strong bows and crossbows before rifling and flint mechanisms were developed, so only a small number of them are currently circulating on the black market, and even dwarves are not equipped on a large scale.

"Isn't it just a musket?" Lu Xi pursed his lips disapprovingly, and said, "The explosive power produced by gunpowder can indeed exceed that of bowstrings and machine springs, but it is not to the point where it will make you sleep, right?" ”

"Who said it used gunpowder?" Orucello glared at Lu Xi fiercely and handed over the "musket" in his hand.

The "musket" was a little heavier than expected, but it was not so heavy that ordinary people couldn't use it. Lu Xi played with this strange weapon, except for the magic pattern on the hilt, but he couldn't see any other tricks, his heart moved, and secretly used a probing technique. As a result, Lu Xi found that he could no longer be calm......

Name: TBD. Quality: (Blue Boutique).

Attributes: Penetration 40~~75, effective range 100 yards, best damage range 50 yards, armor piercing 25, durability 12, fire attribute damage +10.

Description: This is a special firearm that uses the magic of obsidian as a propulsion. Its projectile not only has an initial velocity that far exceeds that of a gunpowder bullet, but can penetrate heavy armor lightly, and naturally carries fire magic damage.

The blue excellent represents a high-quality road car, but it is still a big road car, but the damage power of this big road goods can already be compared to Lim's Holy Flame Meteor, which is an epic golden weapon!

In terms of the number of systems, the body armor value of the alloy chain mail on Lu Xi's body, which was mixed with Mithril and used as a rag by the Great Druid, reached 45, which could withstand the damage of most knives, guns and arrows, but within fifty yards, in the face of the penetration of this "musket" up to 75, it would still be directly pierced. This does not include armor piercing and fire damage.

In terms of attack power alone, this mass-produced blue musket is comparable to those golden weapons that are hard to come by.

Lu Xi's eyes seemed to have such a picture: a knight wearing a covered helmet in Milan plate armor, a horse wrapped in a thick vest under his crotch, holding a riding spear and shield, and wearing a knight's sword at his waist, galloping murderously. He was confronted by a militia dressed in cloth, trained in simple aiming and shooting.

The militia trembled and raised the musket in his hand and pulled the trigger hard, but he heard a loud "bang", and in the smoke of gunpowder, the knight fell off his horse and died.

Knights trained in weapons, horsemanship, and etiquette for more than a decade or even twenty years are equipped enough to bankrupt an urban middle class. In the war of the feudal lords, even in the face of dozens or even hundreds of militiamen, it was completely crushed like a tiger into a herd of sheep, but now, he still died at the hands of a militiaman who had only practiced shooting for three months.

In Lu Xi's world, this represents the end of an era.

So, what does this mean in this world?
