"Are you here? Sister Aviya!" Wendy's loud shout rang out in the corridor of Stevenson School of Magic. The quiet campus environment was interrupted by a girl wearing warrior armor and carrying a big sword.
"What's the fuss about?"
"Shh..."
"Keep your voice down."
Many doors on both sides of the corridor opened quickly, and then revealed angry faces. Some started to curse directly, and some could only pinch her after recognizing that Wendy was the granddaughter of a college professor. Nose recognized it and asked her to keep her voice down.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm looking for someone, sorry." She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and Wendy ran to the other side of the corridor dejectedly.
"It's strange. Where has Sister Aviya gone? She should be in the experimental workshop here." Wendy scratched her head and walked in the college building used to provide experimental venues for students. I didn’t dare to yell anymore, but how could I find Aviya like this.
"Wendy? What do you want from me?" Suddenly, Aviya's voice sounded in Wendy's mind, causing Wendy to tremble and be startled.
"Uh, is it you, Sister Aviya?" Wendy whispered uncertainly.
"You don't have to speak loudly. I can hear you. It's not like I can't hear you when you shouted so loudly. Come in quickly. You have to keep quiet here, you know? Everyone is doing experiments. If you are not careful, something may go wrong."
Aviya's answer rang in Wendy's mind again, and a laboratory door in the corridor opened with the words, obviously letting Wendy in.
Wendy looked around uncomfortably, wondering where Sister Aviya was staring at her. It was a little weird. She shook her head and tiptoed like a thief into the opened laboratory.
The door to the room was closed. Aviya sat on a chair holding the new magic device that was still being debugged. She looked at it carefully. She looked very serious. Wendy didn't dare to disturb Aviya. I don't know why. Anyway, Wang Yu Brother and sister Aviya are quite scary when they are serious.
After loading the last piece of part on what looked like a long iron pipe with the shrunken wizard's hand, Aviya let out a breath, put the thing on the table, and then turned to look at Wendy.
"Wendy, what do you want from me?"
"Well, the teacher asked you to come with me. Also, what is this? A stick?" Wendy told Aviya her purpose of coming, and then she couldn't restrain her curiosity.
She doesn't know exactly how powerful Aviya's sister's alchemy level is, but she is certain that it is very powerful. Once the magic circuit on her gravity-enchanted sword was damaged, Aviya helped her repair it. Then Aviya helped her repair it. Why did Sister Ya create such a magic weapon that looks like a stick?
Could it be some powerful alchemical weapon like an enchanted long stick that can produce powerful attack effects such as explosions and flames?
Thinking about it makes her hands itch unbearably. She, Wendy, is different from brother Wang Yu. Brother Wang Yu seems to be as strong in fighting with bare hands as with weapons, but she likes all kinds of weapons.
"This?" Aviya blinked, picked up the iron rod-like thing on the table, pointed at it and looked at Wendy.
"Yeah, yeah!" Wendy nodded vigorously up and down, her flying ponytail indicating the intensity of her desire at this moment.
"Let me see..." Aviya put her finger on her chin and thought for a moment, then nodded. There should be no problem. Although the energy core part and the main control part are not completed, it should be almost there. She It can also be used as a power source.
"You give way." Aviya took the iron rod-like thing and motioned for Wendy to step aside.
"Eh?" Wendy was a little confused as to why she was asked to get out of the way, but she still did it. Soon she knew why. The student laboratory has many functions, including researching new spells and performing alchemical work. This One must prepare something for testing the power, and behind Wendy is an armored iron dummy used for testing.
"It is indeed a weapon, but shouldn't it be more appropriate for me to use it this way? Sister Aviya is just a mage." Seeing the test dummy behind her, Wendy also understood what Aviya was going to do, and she muttered in her heart Why not let her use it? She is obviously a warrior.
"Bang!" There was a loud and clear explosion, and a ball of fire exploded from the front end of the "iron pipe" held by Aviya, and then Wendy felt something vague flying past her eyes at a high speed.
"Ah?" Wendy looked with some surprise in the direction where the blurry thing flew, and then her eyes widened. There was an obvious hole in the iron plate armor on the dummy's chest. What was there? The thing penetrated the dummy's relatively thick armor very quickly.
"What, is this?" Wendy ran over with some confusion, staring at the hole in the armor, wondering what happened just now, something penetrated the dummy's armor.
He looked into the hole and used the small dagger on his waist to press the button. A flat metal projectile came out of the hole. It was this thing that penetrated the dummy's armor and then embedded itself in the armor itself. Inside a metal dummy with stronger defenses.
"What is this?" Wendy asked Aviya holding the flattened metal projectile that was still slightly hot.
"This is a bullet, and the "gun" in my hand should be considered unfinished."
Aviya checked the slightly hot "gun barrel" in her hand. The effect was unexpectedly good. After using simple pyrotechnics to replace the gunpowder Wang Yu mentioned, she found that magic was more effective than gun technology. has unique advantages.
Impacts and explosions can be created out of thin air, and there are no products after the reaction occurs. It does not even need to be loaded. The explosion that gives the bullet thrust can be created directly through the "barrel".
On the other hand, it is really simple to use magic to realize a gun. Compared with the Spellweaver's Book that was completed after repeated failures and experiments, the prototype of this "gun" was even completed for the first time. .
"The power is pretty good. Because magic is such a convenient power, our world is a bit too crude in how to develop various "powers". Creations similar to "magic guns" like the dwarves are essentially It is better to directly use magic power to push the enchanted projectiles, which is very inefficient."
"According to some vague theories given by Wang Yu, it is quite difficult to complete a complete firearm, but a simple reminder is of great help. By converting the bursting magic compression into power and providing it to the projectile, you can fully exert its full power. Different effect.”
"The violent fire technique that should only leave scorched black marks on the iron armor can easily penetrate the iron armor after transferring its power to the kinetic energy of the bullet in the "barrel". No matter which world it is in, this kind of "energy" The invention of conversion is a well-deserved pioneering work."
Aviya was very satisfied looking at the prototype of the "magic gun" in her hand. In fact, she didn't do anything. She just made a barrel and used the violent fire technique she released to replace the explosive push of gunpowder, which produced a very good result. Effect.
The power of the projectile just now should be able to cause effective damage to all enemies below the level of a regular knight without better armor.
"Uh, but sister Aviya, guns shouldn't be like this, right?" Wendy looked at Aviya, who was staring at the "gun barrel" in her hand with a gentle smile, feeling a little scared, uh, sister Aviya at this time Just like Brother Wang Yu, he is a bit scary.
"It's just a name, there's no need to care about anything." Aviya waved her hand and answered Aviya with Wang Yu's words about why his name sounded strange.
Carry the barrel with you. This alchemical work is basically what it is now. Later, you can get some stronger metal to build a barrel that can carry a more powerful explosion, and transform the current simple spherical projectile into that A more reasonable bullet shape.
At the same time, you can try to enchant the bullets with some magic, such as concealment, acceleration, explosion, or even poison. After all, the metal bullet body itself is a very good carrier of magic circuits.
"Let's go, didn't the teacher ask us to come over?" Aviya stood up and opened the door of the laboratory. She had rented the laboratory for a long time, and no one would come in.
"Oh, okay, I'll take you there. Grandpa asked us to go to a place we haven't been to before. I have to think about what he said." Wendy also quickly followed Aviya out, while As he walked, he took out a small note of directions given by Weber Lanqi and looked at it.
"That's right, Sister Aviya, can you let me play with that thing called a "gun" later? It feels very powerful." Although Wendy couldn't understand the principle of the gun that Aviya made. , but no matter what, the power still made her very excited.
"Okay, wait until I make it more perfect. You can't use it now."
"That's great, thank you sister Aviya! Wendy" was so happy that she shouted without suppressing her voice, which attracted glares from the surrounding laboratories who opened their doors.
"Ah uh." Wendy hugged her head and ran away.
…
The two walked through the corridors of the laboratory and came to a building with a sky bridge and a link between the library and the reference room. This is where the college collects books.
Generally, each professor has his own library and database, and the materials that they think can be opened will be placed in the public library for students and other teachers in the college to check at will.
Their own research results and some important and precious knowledge books will be placed in their private libraries, only for their students or people they recognize. However, some professors who are short of money will also choose to open the library for a fee. .
Aviya has been here many times, and the teacher opened the library to her. Although Aviya has a strong learning ability, she can only read less than half of the books in the whole room.
Looking at the surrounding environment with some confusion, the library building today is extremely quiet, as if no one is inside. This is usually the case only during large gatherings. After all, knowledge always belongs to the students and teachers of the college. The precious treasures we pursue together.
"Hey, where are the usual teachers and students?" Wendy also scratched her head in confusion. She was also a little confused about the situation. Today, grandpa asked her and Aviya to go to a strange place. These students and teachers still All gone…
"No... it's a birthday surprise! She doesn't know when sister Aviya's birthday is yet. Maybe brother Wang Yu will know, and grandpa will know too. That would be great for sister Aviya, right? , Damn it, you’re not even that kind to my granddaughter.”
Compared with Wendy's careless temperament, Aviya is much more cautious and vigilant. This is what Aviya has always insisted on. When anything abnormal appears, you should pay attention and be careful...
Magic and void each form an invisible lens covering Aviya's left and right eyes. The magic lens and the eye of the void are activated together. Aviya looks at every corner of the building. .
There are no strange traces, the breath of void does not exist, the formations of the magic circuit are all normal formations used to clean up and guard against thieves...
"It seems that there is no problem..." She muttered silently, recalling that Wang Yu had used his ability called ripple to check the answers given by the teacher, and Aviya temporarily put aside her uneasiness.
Walking upstairs, Aviya and Wendy came to the door of Weber Lanqi's commonly used library. Wendy took out the key, opened the door and walked in.
"Hey, grandpa isn't here? There are so many books."
She looked around but didn't find her grandfather here. She had never been to this place before. Webb Lanqi was not happy for her reckless granddaughter to touch her precious books.
"Isn't the teacher here?" Aviya is very familiar with this place. The teacher has asked her to come here to read by herself more than once. It is normal to be away. At least Aviya's carefulness and reliability are very reassuring.
But it was this familiarity that caused Aviya to overlook some extremely subtle things that were difficult for normal people to discover. The magic circuit in the key in Wendy's hand was used to pass the detection in the library and the normal Webber Lan There are small differences in the keys Qi gave to Aviya.
Once it is discovered that the key token may be forged, the library, which is covered by a large number of magic circles and contains a large number of Webb Lanqi's personal characteristics, will not close the door, but will choose to directly hide those who try to sneak in. Intruders are let in and immediately locked up until someone from the academy comes to catch them.
"Eh? What's wrong? This is it!" The moment Aviya walked into the room, the entire room's formation began to operate. When Wendy exclaimed because the key given by her grandfather suddenly broke in her hand, the library The door suddenly closed behind Aviya, and then a large number of formations began to operate, and a heavy blockade sealed the entire library tightly.
"!" Aviya suddenly turned her head, but it was too late, the blockade had been completed.
"What's going on, sister Aviya, what is grandpa doing?" Wendy was not too panicked. She thought grandpa would not harm them.
"...I don't know, what is the teacher going to do?" Aviya frowned, what was the purpose of suddenly locking her and Wendy in this room, and it seemed that there was no magic circle that could harm them.
"Uh, Sister Aviya, why am I feeling dizzy?" Wendy's words suddenly became a little intermittent. Touching her red hair, Wendy looked very sleepy and her steps were a little sloppy.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Aviya looked at Wendy. She didn't feel anything was wrong, but then the changes in her mental space made her eyes suddenly widen.
Outside her huge castle representing the spiritual palace, a transparent barrier had been unfolded, covering her entire castle in a space that looked like Wang Yu's bedroom.
The outer barrier is currently blocking some red fluid-like substance. This substance hangs down from the starry sky in the mental space and flows on the mental shield covering the outside of Aviya Castle. , then blocked and bounced away.
"Plop!" Wendy's sleepiness seemed to have reached a limit, and her head fell to the floor.
"The mental protection Wang Yu gave me at that time..." Aviya was very nervous. She still didn't understand what happened and what her teacher did.
The sudden red light attracted her attention, and she turned her gaze to the window of the library that was also reinforced and sealed with layers of sealing spells. Outside the window, a scarlet semicircular barrier was rising. The boundary of Stevenson Academy of Magic completely encompasses the entire school including part of the sky.
The entire campus was shrouded in a strange red light.
