The three of them went to the inner room of the blacksmith's shop, where there was a large desk made of stone.

Something was covered with a black tarpaulin on the desk, and Olivia guessed that it might be a newly crafted weapon from the dwarves.

Dwayne Johnson, the old dwarf, walked over to the stone desk and lifted the black tarpaulin with his large, rough hand.

Yes, that's right, there are a few muskets lying quietly down there!

To be precise, it's probably the latest musket that Crozier has helped the dwarves modify.

The muskets used by the Black Iron Dwarves in the past were similar to the front-loading reed wheel guns that Crozier had seen in his previous life.

This gun uses a built-in steel wheel to rub the pyrite ignition, and the steel wheel will rotate after pulling the trigger, so that the gear will rub the pyrite to ignite.

This made Crozier, who originally wanted to make a steam engine, a little discouraged, because there was already an industrial revolution artifact like a steam engine in this world.

And this reed wheel gun used by the dwarves is even more advanced than the one Klose knew in his previous life!

Of course, this is all relative, and no matter how advanced the reed wheel gun is, it is not as advanced as the reed gun.

This gun is said to have been researched and invented by the "dwarf" family, who have the highest IQ on the mainland.

This explains how the dwarven muskets and the revolting friction ignition came into being.

In addition, it can also show that the black **, a weapon of war, has also been mastered by a few people in this world.

However, what makes Crozer wonder is that since there are already high-tech such as black ** and muskets in this world, why is there no simpler device such as a man-made water wheel?

In the end, Klose speculated that perhaps only war could make people better.

The gun now in front of Klose was transformed by Johnson and Hu Bolu from the drawings on "The History of Firearms".

In other words, the gun lying on the stone case at this moment is infinitely close to or has become the kind of flintlock pistol that Kreuzer knew before!

In addition, our little lord tried his knife and designed a companion bayonet for this newly born musket.

Of course, our little lord is not complacent, and his targets are rear-loading guns and repeating guns.

If they can't solve the problem of slow reloading of muskets, then this musket is not as good as the Zhuge Repeater they made before.

It's like this kind of reed wheel gun, according to Hu Bolu, this kind of gun is simply bought and sold as a work of art between big cities and nobles, and no one thinks that this thing can be applied to the battlefield.

The old dwarf grabbed the new musket and shook it excitedly.

"My lord! This is a new musket remodeled from the drawings you provided! We call it Kitty Hawk No. 1~

This musket not only has a faster rate of fire, but also a more stable rate! And the reload speed has also been greatly increased! Even on rainy days, it hardly affects use.

Now the only problem is to test its stability, and like you said, it would be terrible if there was a blow up when using it. ”

Klose took the familiar musket and played with it.

If only in terms of appearance, this gun is infinitely close to the rifle on Earth in the previous life.

"Hey, good job, old Johnson! But this flintlock pistol is not our ultimate goal, it can only be considered a transitional product, we want the kind of rear-loading gun that I drew on my drawings! Not only is it capable of bursting, but it also has a longer rate of fire! More powerful! It's also more stable. If there were that kind of gun .... Hey, hey, hey~"

Klose and the old dwarf looked at each other and smiled lewdly...

After hearing the conversation between the two, Olivia's surprise was no longer as good as the moment she saw the dark elves for the first time.

The muskets used by the dwarves were not uncommon in the Holy White Continent before, and she had even fought with enemies who used such weapons.

But in her impression, this musket looked quite intimidating, although it was louder. But the process of changing bullets was cumbersome, and in the face of cavalry charges, basically everyone had only one shot.

However, after this shot, it was the moment when their end came. The Knights will trample these enemies directly into a pulp.

But if this musket could shoot farther, faster, and in bursts..... She could even imagine the tragic scene of the charging cavalry regiment falling row by row.

Klose put down his musket, turned around and smiled and asked, "How's it going?" My knight miss, can any of our gadgets still be in your eyes? ”

Olivia stared at the gun in a daze and whispered, "My lord, you have surprised me too much. If you could make the kind of musket you were talking about.... I think that the way the world fought for thousands of years will be completely changed! ”

"Wow~ I can only say that your vision is really good!"

Klose gave a thumbs up to the centaur.

can see at a glance to change the pattern of war, that vision is definitely not an ordinary person.

Klose stretched out his hand and smiled mysteriously: "But I'm going to show the knight chief more than just muskets, come, please." ”

Throwing a look at the old dwarf, who hastened to open the back door of the blacksmith's shop.

The three of them came to the small courtyard behind the blacksmith's shop, where some larger instruments were placed.

Olivia looked around and saw a large ballista and trebuchet.

However, she is not uncommon to see this kind of big guy during the siege, and what really interests her is a relatively small "big musket".

Yes, the "big musket" that Olivia saw was another regimental weapon made by Klose--- artillery!

"My lord, this is... Cannon? ”

Olivia asked, pointing to the cannon.

"Tut-tut~ It's amazing! Before I could say what to look at, you noticed it yourself. ”

Klose shook his head and applauded the centaur, it seemed that he had picked up another treasure this time.

"Miss Olivia, this is a portable mortar that we modified. Now I have guns, cannons, and... Rose~"

Klose stole a glance at Olivia's side face, and her little heart thumped twice.

But the centaur circled around the small mortar, and didn't even hear the second half of Klose's words.

I saw her looking at the mortar, and then said thoughtfully: "Such a small size, coupled with wheels, makes it possible for the artillery to break away from the city wall and join the field battle!" If that's the case...."

Olivia used the Knights as an imaginary enemy in her mind, imagining images of groups of charging knights being blown to pieces.

"Hehe~ Yes, but this idea is not very mature, and the cannon is not very useful for us now, so we only made three experimental ones."

The centaur nodded, thinking to himself if this thing was mass-produced.... The scene of 10,000 cannons firing at one end makes my blood boil just thinking about it!

Klose took out a black lump of iron from a wooden box.

"And these, various styles of tactics**, are now also in the experimental stage."

One by one, I explained the use of those ** for the female knight, only to hear the latter's face becoming more and more solemn.

"Whew..."

Olivia let out a long breath after hearing this: "Lord Lord.... You also say that you have no plans to fight and train the army? It seems that I am too worried. ”

Klose's face flushed slightly, to be honest, he made these things purely for fun and fun, and he didn't think much further at all.

However, for now, the Iron Dwarves have almost used up the iron ore stocks they brought from the furnace mines, and if Klose is still preparing to mass-produce muskets and cannons, he must first find new iron ore veins in the Demon Forest Abyss.

Moreover, Huporu also told Klose about a serious problem, that is, their money, which is about to bottom out ....

Klose covered the wooden box full of tactical ** and took Olivia to say goodbye to the old dwarf for a while.

The two walked out of the blacksmith shop, and Klose calmed down his little smugness and said in a low voice: "I really didn't think much about fighting or anything, but I still have to hide some means of self-preservation." To tell you the truth, there are many people who don't like me as an illegitimate prince, including my half-brother. ”

Olivia nodded: "I heard that the Lord was ambushed on the way to the territory, and it is said that the other party's combat strength is good. ”

Klose was noncommittal, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't understand the vulgar, I also listened to Captain Kret." That pockmarked face seemed to be very good at training and leading troops, and everyone else on the mainland called him the Duke of the 'Golden Crocodile'. ”

"Golden crocodile? I've heard it before in the Holy White Continent, and I heard it from the bard's singing. It is said that there are four young and promising dukes in the Lane Continent, they are the 'Duke of the Silver Lion', the 'Duke of the Grey Pigeon', the 'Duke of Sunflower', and the 'Duke of the Golden Crocodile'. ”

Klose's mouth opened slightly, and he said incredulously: "Just that pockmarked face? Also the four dukes of the Lane Continent?? I'll go.... It's too frustrating, isn't it? ”

"Although the ranking is relatively low, the two dukes of 'Sunflower' and 'Golden Crocodile' are both from your family's Duchy of Holger."

Olivia looked at Klose as she spoke, and continued, "It seems that the next few or hundreds of years will be the era of the rise of the Duchy of Holger. ”

The meaning in the words of the centaur is self-evident.

As a small country on the mainland, the Duchy of Holge not only produced two princes and dukes who were famous on the mainland, but also an unfathomable illegitimate lord.... That future.... It's hard for Holger not to rise!

Klose had some pain in the ass after getting the news.

So what "Golden Crocodile" has already shown enough obvious hostility towards himself, and what the hell is that "Duke of Sunflower"? Which of my brothers is it that I can't figure it out?

"I don't care if Holger doesn't rise .... I just want to keep my own one-third of an acre first.... I don't know how long this kind of peaceful life can last now? ”

Klose said.
