When Durosun Nicholas, the former sixth prince of Kirislav, entered the lord's room, Rant had already talked with at least 6 subordinates and 5 nobles and priests in Yeqi City one by one. Now there was only this person in the room. A high-ranking lord, and an elf woman.
"He's here, see if you can recognize him." As soon as the prince entered the room, Lant said a word that had no beginning or end to the elf.
"You..." The girl came close to the prince, as if she wanted to see him through, but she couldn't find any ideas at all.
"Madam? Have we met before?" The prince was a little confused.
"Well..." The elf looked at Lant, then at the prince, and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember that high-speed train? There were only four people, and there was one girl who was me!"
"Ah!" Du Luosong seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock. He suddenly felt dizzy, and the memories of his previous life and the situation that had just arrived kept pouring out from the deepest part of his memory.
"It seems right! I said that the person who came to this world and forcibly made black powder must be a fellow countryman!" Lant said casually while sitting on the sofa.
Du Luosong covered his head and squatted on the ground for a long time before saying slowly: "So you did it on purpose that day, right? You already knew that I was developing gunpowder? Did you just want to prove in public that it was useless?"
"You are worrying too much. I have known for a long time that gunpowder is completely useless in this world." Lant shook his head, "There is no need to do it intentionally or in public. This is almost a historical consensus!"
"Impossible!" Although Du Luosong still had a headache, he wanted to prove that replicating the craftsmanship of his hometown was the path to success. "My black powder is indeed immature, but in the future I can develop nitro gunpowder and black powder." Sorkin even..."
Before Du Luosong finished speaking, he saw Lant walking toward him and taking out a grenade gun with a silver barrel, a rotating magazine, and a caliber of about 40 mm.
"His Majesty the God-Emperor developed it 800 years ago. At that time, the nitro gunpowder you mentioned was already used, with a continuous fire function. In addition, mortars and cannons were developed. Guess why today you are... A prince who has never seen a gun?"
Du Luosong took the grenade gun blankly and shook his head in confusion.
"Because the mages' research and development speed is faster, it took His Majesty the God Emperor 200 years to build the guns and cannons. It took them less than a year to increase the number of magic patterns on the magic pattern armor by 20-30%. It’s enough to withstand direct fire from 7.6mm bullets and artillery fragments. What’s even more frightening is that it only requires the magic of one mind mage to make 1,000 demon-free people who have been trained for half a year completely lose their combat effectiveness on the battlefield.”
Du Luosong felt that such reasons were not enough to hinder the development of guns: "That doesn't matter. If 5.6mm can't penetrate, use 12.6mm. If iron pellets cannot penetrate, use armor-piercing or incendiary bombs."
"Very good, what about the technology tree? Where do the raw materials and minerals come from? All talents are studying magic. Where can you find people who can read and understand certain basics of physics and chemistry to do it for you?" Lant asked,
"What's more, if we just talk about emitting energy, I can tell you that in the goblin era, there were more powerful energy-emitting weapons, but now, except for a few legends, no one has even seen them."
Du Luosong was annoyed by Lant's question and simply said: "What do you want to express?"
"What I want to express is that this world is not without a technology tree, but with another tree called magic." Rant said solemnly, "The problem now is that the entire world has placed all its future on magic. Above, they don’t want to consider the technology line of gunpowder and machinery at all. Even if someone considers it, it will not develop because of insufficient resources.”
Du Luosong breathed out: "According to what you said, those of us who have traveled through time can only drift with the tide in this world? Shouldn't we change him and make him better, so that the people here can..."
"First of all, if you can go with the flow, you have already been reincarnated." Lant looked at the prince and restored his smile. "I have investigated the whereabouts of your other two companions. It is currently confirmed that there is one person who The south became the son of a small noble, and was wiped out by the nearby lizard tribe in the recent conflict in the south."
"this……"
Lant patted Du Luosong on the shoulder: "According to some accounts, every 1,000 years, some people from other worlds will come here, and most of them will die one after another in the few years after their arrival. The reason why you are able to meet me here today is definitely because I am thinking of incense and love."
"snort!"
Seeing that the prince didn't appreciate it, Lant added: "Also, the witches you took in are not as loyal as you thought. You don't have to think about making a fortune from them in the future."
After that, he handed Du Luosong a piece of paper, which contained the names and origins of more than 40 witches in his camp, as well as records of interactions with other nobles in recent months.
"Them!" Du Luosong stood up immediately when he heard about the witch, "They are all good people, but they were just used as tools by the big family!"
Since the great fairies captured all the witches around Durosong on November 3, except for a girl named Natsumi, all of them have been interrogated by the great fairies in turn.
"Really? Then I'm afraid I have to re-evaluate you," Lant said calmly, "Based on the interrogation of the great goblins and the report to Queen Tenia, the 10 witches of the Demon Network Walker, except for 3 The mid-level ones and the quasi-high-level one named Luwinika, the remaining high-level ones must be executed."
"There is a very special way to advance to the higher level of the Magic Network Walker, and that is to sacrifice the magic goblin." Lant's tone gradually became colder, "It is now confirmed that the six Magic Network Walkers persecuted at least one big goblin and It is impossible for the seven magic fairies to receive any forgiveness for their blatant persecution of the creatures of the Magic Network and the theft of its power!"
"this……"
"It seems that His Highness the Prince was just fascinated by their beauty, and you don't know their methods, right?" Rant waved his hand, and the piece of paper was brought to the Prince's eyes by the wind, and it flickered to cover his entire sight. .
"Although the witches under you are basically of three types: Summoning Master, Whisperer, and Twisting Power, and two are Soul Shadows, almost every mid-level one among them has served as a member of a large family. He wears black gloves and does all kinds of things for those nobles. As for the magic net walkers, stealing, killing, and obtaining information are all trivial. Luwinika has also received an order from your third sister, which is to kill you. "
"My third sister? Luvinika?" Durosun still lacked psychological preparation for Kirislav's royal struggle.
Lant nodded, with a light in his eyes that made Du Luosong tremble: "Yes, if her niece Lusna hadn't been so devoted to you, I'm afraid that the first night you saw her, your head would be in a different place. .”
"No, this is impossible. Luwinika can't possibly want to kill me." Du Luosong shook his head and muttered softly.
