Chapter 264: Between a Madman and a Genius

All the tech nerds,It's usually difficult to communicate with the radio wave system.,Always look at the "mortal world" with the eyes of tomatoes and potatoes.,There's always a look on the face of "Ah, this world is so boring.,Everyone is a monkey.,I'm so hot.,When will it be good to destroy it" The seemingly lazy expression is actually extraordinarily second-in-the-middle. It is only when you encounter something you like that you will burst out with enthusiasm that makes the sky and the sea boil. Of course, whether the world's monarchs can withstand their enthusiasm is another matter. As a result, a few reliable technographers have become geniuses, most unreliable technophiles are often regarded as crazy, and the more dangerous ones are often humanely ruined by superheroes.

So, is this technophil named Ogel the former or the latter?

Lu Xi squinted his eyes and thought about it, while the night elf Lori looked at the upper room with a resentful gaze, then carefully observed Lu Xi's expression, and then said slowly: "Guest, this is really rude...... Why don't I give you a 7% discount? ”

"Even if it's seven folds, you guys are also open for business."

The little girl suddenly smiled. Lu Wang's cute smiling face moved, and then he asked, "Speaking of which, this store should have been open for a long time, right?" ”

"That's natural, you think about it, I've been working here for forty or fifty years, not to mention the history of the store. In Cold Harbour, there are few old shops that are older than our top of the furnace castle. Elf Lori looked smug.

Although they had known that the life span of the Night Elves was even more exaggerated than their long-lived distant relatives, almost infinitely close to the dragons, it was natural to see such a pink and cute Lori describing the past few decades of time. Lu Xi still felt that he couldn't accept it.

"It's a pity that people nowadays prefer to go to those flashy brand stores. In a traditional long-established shop like ours, life is really getting harder and harder day by day. Elf Lori then made another bitter face. Sighing helplessly.

Well, that's sad! Lu Xi sighed a few words very insincerely. He is not stupid, how can he not know that this little girl is just selling hardships to win sympathy and fooling herself into buying a few more things, and she is the "Goddess of Wolking in Lingu Town", this kind of little trick is all left over from the year.

Seeing that Lu Xi was not fooled, the night elf Lori just pursed her lips helplessly, rolled her eyes, and seemed to be thinking about some other sales tricks, but Lu Xi took the lead and said, "You are also an old resident of Cold Harbor, right?" It just so happens that I have some things I want to inquire about. ”

"Oh. What do guests want to know? I have no end to words. Elf Lori's eyes lit up: "The most delicious restaurant, the most affordable hotel, the most magnificent scenery, the most popular goods and price information, and the latest news, not only cold harbor, the entire frozen valley, there is nothing I don't know." My name is Amaria, the Jack-of-all-trades of Frozen Valley. ”

After reporting this long list of self-introductions that seem to slip through the mouth. The elf Lori named "Emmaria" put her beautiful little head in front of Lu Xi and showed a playful smile: "It's okay for guests to call me Emma." By the way, even if you're wondering, well. I can also show you the location of some special service places for a small referral fee. Absolutely. You'll be transported by the kind of good quality and affordable ones that will keep you entertained all night long. A great place to have a good time and linger and want to come back next time. ”

Saying. Are you really a Night Elf? Ah, no, are you really Lori? Even Lu Xi couldn't be a little calm, thinking that if this kind of conversation continued, whether it was the setting of the Night Elf or Lori, it would definitely collapse, so he hurriedly got to the point: "I want to ask, where is that Aster Orphanage?" When will it become a shopping mall. ”

"You said the Aster Orphanage, this was the most famous charity in the Frozen Valley. There are even more orphans rescued than the church's good church, and more importantly, although he is an orphanage, many talents have come out of here. For example, the Ice Sword St. Phines was a peerless swordsman who became famous fifty years ago. Unfortunately, since the death of the old chairman, the orphanage has not received stable financial support, and life is getting worse day by day. Hey, over the past few decades, I've watched it decay little by little. Emma couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment. With her age and experience, maybe she has really seen the Lori era and girlhood of the female sword master.

"That's why you have to sell your land and move?"

"It can't be said to be a land sale. In fact, after the death of the old chairman, the orphanage was passed on to his grandson. That kid is purely a gentleman, and he almost ruined the property left by the family, and he naturally wanted to take action early with a burden like an orphanage. I happened to meet a chamber of commerce from Auckland that was willing to take over, so I sold the entire orphanage, along with the land. ”

"That 'kind' Auckland Chamber of Commerce is the owner of the mall, right?"

"Isn't it?" Elf Lori smiled: "However, the new boss can't be regarded as a fake kindness, although he moved the children to the outskirts of the city, he also built a larger, more well-equipped orphanage there, and the annual funds provided are quite sufficient." In addition to the fact that the children from the orphanage are a little reluctant to leave their homeland, this should be the best ending. ”

"Didn't you say that the orphanage has produced a lot of talent? Since it is difficult to leave the homeland, why don't those people find a way to save the orphanage? ”

"There's no way around it! The Aster Orphanage has had famous swordsmen, famous rangers, and famous scholars, but they have not cultivated rich people. In this case, the sword and knowledge cannot compete with the gold coin. Elf Lori spread out her hand and said in a natural tone.

It's a sad statement, but I have to admit that it makes a lot of sense.

"By the way, you came to inquire about the orphanage, is there something going on?"

Lu Xi thought for a moment, and felt that this was not something unsightly, so he said, "Actually." We're here for a lady named Grissa. Well, she must be around sixty years old. I used to live in the Aster Orphanage. ”

"Grissa" is the name given by the female swordsman to her adopted daughter. Of course, I don't know if she changed her name after that.

Emma frowned and said the name a few times. After thinking about it seriously, he finally shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard this name." Well, you said, she's about sixty years old, right? Then she should have grown up and left the orphanage more than forty years ago. It's been so long, and there are so many children in the orphanage, I really can't remember. ”

Lu Xi had been prepared, but he didn't seem too disappointed. It seems that there is only one trip to that orphanage.

"Still. If you really want to visit the relocated Shion Orphanage, this is the place to be. Elf Lori pointed to the large shopping mall across the street outside the door: "That 'fashion glory', tsk, what a tasteless name." The security captain of the local tyrant shop, a guy named Barron, grew up in the Aster Orphanage. He comes to us every half a month to take care of our weapons and armor. Calculate the time, you should be back today, just let him take you. ”

"It's great." How could it be such a coincidence? Lu Xi felt that this store was really not wrong.

"By the way, a mall security captain. Are there any armor and weapons that need to be maintained at the dwarven shop? ”

"Well, a steel cross sword, a head war hammer, and a bread kite shield. and a set of plate chain composite armor only. Emma said casually.

“…… That mall is often robbed by gangsters armed to the teeth? ”

"Then I haven't heard of it, maybe that guy likes to collect equipment." Elf Lori shrugged her shoulders, and then said in a passionate and demagogic tone: "But." This also proves the strength of the small shop. Guest, you don't pick something anymore. I know you're a tough magician. I can't look down on these big road goods, but I should also strengthen the equipment of the servants. ”

"This ......" Lu Xigang wanted to refuse politely. There was another sound of "pedaling" footsteps in the back hall. Lu Xi looked closely, but found that the old dwarf Oger had already run out with a thick, long, and black tube-like object.

"This thing is ......," Lu Xi watched as Ogel stunned and put this discordant-looking thing in front of him.

The dwarf grinned and explained loudly, "This is the giant musket I invented, well, I named him, well, hey, 'big gun'!" ”

I'm already hungry for my big guns. Lu Xi thought to himself.

"I always thought that the musket was an epoch-making invention, a weapon that could change the pattern of warfare and even the pattern of the world. Well, it's a pity that in the more than 100 years since it came out, this thing has not received the attention it deserves. ”

That's because the muskets are not powerful enough to shake the dominance of the strong. However, a powder gun can't do it, but a guide gun can.

"I think it's probably because the muskets aren't powerful enough. At least for ordinary people, this kind of weapon can't make him fundamentally close the distance between him and the strong. ”

I can't imagine that this radio wave technology nerd is still a person who understands.

"In that case, I'm going to make its body and muzzle huge, and use a 2-pound projectile, as long as it is fired, it can directly blow up a house." Oger struggled to raise the "big gun" with both hands, and his eyes were full of pride and obsession, as if he was holding the lover of his dreams.

“…… Are you sure that this 'musket' is, uh, gigantic 'musket' your originality? ”

"Of course! My people are all brainless and stubborn, and since the invention of the musket, they have never thought of improving it, and I am the only one who has persevered on this path, which has led to today's results! As if insulted, the dwarf blushed and shouted in a very loud voice.

“…… Well, if it was offended to you, I apologize to you. But I think this 'big gun' or something really doesn't sound creative, so why don't you call it a cannon? ”

"Cannon?"

Oh, yes! Isn't this a special cannon? Although I think this technology tree in the world where muskets appeared first without cannons, and pistols first appeared without rifles, once I accept this setting, it is still quite emotional. However, it can fire a 2-pounder shell, that is, a full 40 mm caliber, but the barrel is only about a meter at most, so there is really no problem with such a "cannon"? Such a "cannon" is really a single weapon?

If it is true, then Lu Xi feels that it is really possible that he has met a genius, although this genius must be a crazy person in the eyes of most people.

If it is true, then what will be the result of combining this "cannon", which appeared in the world for the first time, with the technology of guiding force?

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xi's breathing couldn't help but become a little shorter.

Mother of Heaven, I really don't want to be an arms dealer...... But don't you eat the meat you get in your hand? (To be continued......)
