Downton looked at the window with the binoculars, adjusted the multiple, and found that with Hubble, even if the ambient light was dim, he could see the surrounding scenery clearly, although it was hazy, but it was much better than the darkness.

"Weishenme put the weapon here?" Hu Tao was puzzled and grabbed his crossbow.

In addition to the crossbow, there was also a flat iron box in the drawer, and Hu Tao opened it to find that it contained a half-foot-long crossbow arrow.

Although more than 3,000 years have passed, the blue arrow clusters have not faded, and they are as clear and blue as the sea.

"Of course, it is for self-defense, if the Duke is assassinated in the study, he can immediately take out the crossbow and counterattack. Downton handed the monocular to Homer, "What is the origin of this?"

The crossbow was small, less than a foot long, silver throughout, and engraved with beautiful runes, without a trace of rust.

"Weishenme can't see the bowstring, where is the position of the upper crossbow?" Hu Tao tossed and turned, not understanding how to use the crossbow.

"It's called Dawnbringer, and it's a self-defense crossbow made by elven craftsmanship, which is fused with some Titan technology. Homer had this knowledge at his fingertips.

"Does the meaning of the name mean that the Elven Empire brings dawn to the continent?" Downton teased looking at the gorgeous elven pattern on the crossbow.

"Yes, the elves who claim to be the highest race and the strongest guardian saint in the continent are arrogant, and they will not trade arms with other races at all, so this kind of crossbow is not even a forbidden material, only captured from the battlefield. ”

Homer's implication is clear: crossbows are expensive.

"How much gold is it worth?"

Hearing Hu Tao's question, Downton stroked his forehead, he felt that it was necessary to adjust~ teach little Lori's values.

"The cost price is five million, which belongs to the perfect mid-grade level!"

Hu Tao was not amazed this time, what could be placed in the duke's desk. How could it be a common thing, but Homer apparently didn't think so.

"This is a big road commodity for the army, and if it were the exclusive weapon of the High Elves, it would be even more expensive. Homer explains, "The preciousness of it lies in the semi-automatic bursts. See the arrow magazine below? It can be loaded with six crossbow arrows at a time, and each time you fire, you only need to pull the crossbow machine on the left side of the crossbow body. ”

Hu Tao found a button on the right side of the crossbow, and after pressing it, there was a click, and the box under the crossbow fell down.

"I'll do it!" Downton took the Dawnbringer, inserted the crossbow box back into the slot, and smacked the bottom of the crossbow box with his palm, hearing a click. After confirming the installation, he held the grip with his right hand and pulled the crossbow machine less than half an inch long with his left hand.

With a click, loading is complete!

"You've seen this kind of crossbow before?" Homer was a little surprised to see Downton holding the crossbow not like a layman.

"No, but as a child I often dreamed of some strange weapon, called a Mauser rifle. The construction is similar to this one, but the barrel is longer. And it uses a power called gunpowder. ”

"I see, I've heard of gunpowder. Homer felt that Downton's dreams might also be caused by the magic liliang in his blood, or the memories of the soul, because his dreams appeared too often, and they were like a complete shijie.

Downton pulled the trigger. With a thud, the crossbow bolt was fired.

I thought that the crossbow bolt would be nailed to the wall, but I didn't expect that after contact, there was an instant explosion.

Rumble!

A hole in the wall with a radius of one meter appeared, and rubble was even more splattered. Downton was startled and quickly lay on Hu Tao, "Celestia open the shield." ”

With the clatter of pieces falling to the ground, Downton stood up, stunned as he watched the devastation caused by the bolts.

"This attack is so powerful!" Hu Tao took the crossbow and loaded it like Downton, ready to try another shot.

"Stop, do you know how much that crossbow bolt just now?"

"How many? Isn't it just an ordinary magic arrow? There are a thousand gold coins up to the sky. Hu Tao pursed her mouth, "Homer, you're too stingy." ”

"That's an armor-piercing blast arrow worth 10,000 gold coins. ”

"What?" Homer's words directly made Downton's heart start to bleed, and then he smiled bitterly, and secretly scolded himself for being cheap, 10,000 gold coins, enough for a family of four to live a prosperous life for two years.

"The price is secondary, mainly its elven products, if you run out and have nowhere to buy it, although you can use ordinary arrows, but the power will drop a lot. "Homer is not stingy, but I think it's too wasteful," this kind of armor-piercing burst arrow, which can penetrate the judgment level shield with one shot, is too important for Downton now, if you hit that Robinson and suddenly use cold arrows, you don't have to fight to the death at all, and you can simply solve the battle. ”

Downton looked at the iron box, all the crossbow arrows combined, except for the one just now, there were fourteen left, which was indeed a pitiful few.

"I'm going to put this away!" Downton wasn't reluctant to give it to Hu Tao, but her chance to catch the fighter was too poor, and it must have been wasted.

Hu Tao had no opinion, she also knew that the Dawnbringer could only exert its greatest power in Downton's hands.

"How powerful is it to replace it with a normal arrow?" Downton suddenly thought of a question, "This arrow is not custom-made, is it?

"Ordinary arrows can shoot through soul-level shields. ”

"So fierce?" Downton was a little surprised.

"This crossbow uses part of Titan technology, the power is not a bowstring, but magic energy, there is a groove in the back, which is filled with magic diamonds, a large one with a fingernail, and it can be fired about fifty times, such a huge consumption, do you say the attack power is fierce?"

Hu Tao and Downton nodded, they were too domineering, and they were so extravagant that they used magic diamonds as power, that is, the wealthy elf empire had this capital.

"As long as the arrows are made of the specified size, they can be loaded in, and if you can't burn too much, you can make 100,000 demon-breaking arrows, and even the dragon's scale armor can pierce through them. ”

"Slay the dragon?" Hu Tao's eyes lit up.

"Save it, Homer means that you can break the armor, but you also have to hit the dragon, even if it doesn't hide for you to fight, the number of arrows consumed is astronomical. "Downton was helpless about Hu Tao's desire to slay dragons.

"Yes, the tactical significance of the Dawnbringer lies in guarding and self-defense. Even sneak attacks on Homer, the main attack is never its strong point. "Homer doesn't want to say more, he wants to slay the dragon, even if he uses a crossbow, it's a large crossbow like a steam ballista, and these gadgets will tickle the dragon.

"When I get back, ask Giroud. He was a blacksmith and was supposed to make clusters of arrows that were superior to ordinary arrows. Downton pondered how to maximize the potential of the Dawnbringer, "Even if it is a common product, it can shoot through the shield of the soul level, doesn't it mean that if I encounter an enemy like Holyfield again, I won't even have to fight?"

"Don't daydream, anyone can imitate your elf technology? Even if it's an ordinary arrow, the materials and hardness chosen are all particular, if they don't meet the standards. It is likely to lead to the problem of energy circuits and explode the chamber directly. Homer poured cold water on it again.

"What are you doing in a daze? Find out if there are any drawings!" Although he knew that it was unlikely, Downton didn't want to give up, because this weapon was too sharp, in a sense, it was better than two perfect level order swords and black dragon wings.

The drawers on the desk were all rummaged through, and there was nothing of value left, but Homer didn't let everyone go.

"Look carefully around every corner. This is the study, maybe a secret room or something!" Homer also released the Eye of the Abyss. Perform a Magic Detection scan.

After Hu Tao lifted the carpet and made a few more holes in the floor, the excitement passed, and he walked to the wine rack in boredom.

A chair was moved, and Hu Tao stepped on it, barely reaching the wine rack. Then he picked up a bottle of red wine and uncorked it.

The liquor inside had solidified and dried up, with only a slight aroma, and Walnut threw it to the ground in disappointment, then picked up a flat silver flask.

Shook it casually. Unexpectedly, when he heard the sound of water, Hu Tao was overjoyed, unscrewed the lid, and a sweet fragrance wafted out, which was delicious and intoxicating.

The walnut is about to drink it.

"Don't!" Downton shouted, Homer faster, and the elemental arm slammed straight over, knocking the jug to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Hu Tao looked at Downton and the Grimome stupidly, the wine wetting the carpet and evaporating into the air.

"This wine has been in it for more than 3,000 years, do you want to drink yourself to death?" Downton rubbed his eyebrows, "No matter what you want in the future, you are not allowed to eat it without asking Homer." ”

"No, doesn't it mean that the longer the wine, the better the wine?" Hu Tao's little face was full of confusion, "A hundred years of fine wine, but it is very expensive, three thousand years old, shouldn't it be more expensive?"

"That's the well-preserved wine in the cellar, which has long since gone bad. Downton didn't know much about any of this, so he pushed it to Homer, "You can explain." ”

"You can't drink wine, but you can ask for this flask!" Elemental Arm picked up the flat, horseshoe-shaped silver flask and tossed it to Downton.

Downton saw a beer barrel pattern branded on the jug, and in the antler-shaped hose, bubbling beer was flowing smoothly.

"This is a dwarven craft, mixed with space gem rock forging, don't look at it is only the size of a palm, but the space inside is enough to store ten liters of fine wine. Homer still defends its encyclopedia, "and as long as the lid is screwed on, whatever liquid it contains, it will not rot for a hundred years." ”

"Is there anything you don't know?" Downton shook the flask, "what's it called?"

"How much is it worth?" Hu Tao always doesn't forget to inquire about the price.

"The forging process is not complicated, but the material used is relatively rare, so the price is generally around one million gold marks. "Homer was talking about auction prices, because they weren't available on the market," and as the name suggests, it's called the Empty Rock Beer Can. ”

"Which of you want?" Downton already had the Great Ancient Magic Book, and as long as he wanted to have enough magic stones, he could hold fresh water in a lake, so he had little interest in wine jars.

Celestia doesn't drink alcohol and is not interested in these.

"Give it to me!" Hu Tao raised her hand, not to hold wine, but to play.

Downton threw the beer can to her, warning by the way, "You are still young, and you will have to get my permission to drink in the future." ”

"I'm just trying!" pouted Hu Tao.

Downton continued to search the study, and he took off all the paintings and specimens hanging on the walls, and knocked them inch by inch, trying to see if they were hollow, but unfortunately found nothing.

"Secret rooms are all hidden by magic, and the simple method of digging a hole was not used by anyone a thousand years ago. Looking at Downton's head sideways, pressed against the wall, Homer couldn't help but laugh, he was so stupid and cute.

Downton felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "Since there is nothing to do, let's go and find the treasure vault." ”

"Wait, I've made an additional discovery. ”

Homer's magic flame text directly made Little Walnut prick up her ears like a frightened pine tree, "What?"

"Come, go here, smash it down with all your might!"

Before Downton could make a move, Hu Tao had already picked up the tomahawk and blasted it down in the direction that the elemental arm was pointing.

Bang!

The space twisted for a moment, and then the wall cracked, revealing a metal safe.

"Wow, you're rich. Hu Tao cheered, raised the axe, and prepared to come hard, but the startled Downton and the Grimome hurriedly stopped it.

On the safe is a fifty-fold locked magic lock, which is very complicated, and it is estimated that it will take a week to replace it with a magician who is good at decryption, but unfortunately it has now run into Homer.

Just twenty minutes later, Downton had just entered deep meditation when he was called out by Homer.

"So fast?" Downton saw Hu Tao pouting his ass, half of his body buried in the safe.

"Damn, that's it?" Hu Tao grabbed a pocket watch in his left hand and a metal box in his right hand, his little face full of disappointment, "This duke is too poor, isn't he?"

"What is it?" Downton asked Homer.

"Yo, it's actually a soul mount badge. Homer ignored the pocket watch and watched Hu Tao open the wooden box, revealing a wooden badge with a dark red halo, and couldn't help but marvel.

"Wow, this is the most expensive and high-end soul mount in the major planes?" Hu Tao had long envied the unicorn that Downton had, and immediately instilled magical energy.

A burst of red light flashed, and a super-level Sherman Storm Bear sprang out of the badge, and after landing in the room, his violent eyes swept towards these strangers.

"It's actually the Sherman War Bear, and the Troll Empire once used them to form a heavy cavalry regiment, which is famous throughout the Western Continent. Homer sighed that the wealthy nobles are different, and there are so many good things in one study.

"I know that one of the strongest hoplite cavalry regiments on the continent has a fight with the orcs' Komodo War Behemoth Hoplite Regiment. "Hu Tao is a violent loli, so the moment she saw Sherman Battle Bear, her eyes were overflowing with joy.

I have to say that the appearance of the war bear is too domineering, it is as huge as a tank, the brown-red fur on the whole body, there is no trace of variegation, and the physique is strong, covered with heavy steel armor, even if it is a bed crossbow and a dragon gun, it can't be easily penetrated, it is simply full of visual violence beauty.
