Gunpowder is definitely the most epoch-making invention in history, and it has enough weight to stand on the same level as computers.
It sounded the death knell of knights, drove cold weapons into the sewers of history, and even indirectly ended the feudal system - uprising with guns is always more effective than using knives and forks.
This is an unquestionable dimensionality reduction attack, and it is the path that historical development must take. Based on gunpowder, human beings have climbed a technological tree full of gunpowder and created the current scientific and technological world.
Without gunpowder, the earth today would definitely look different.
However, gunpowder is not very important in any social environment, especially a world of high magic where everyone knows magic.
The scholars of the subcontinent are not in vain. In a very short period of time, they figured out the mechanical principles of the viper pistol, thoroughly analyzed the structure of the bullet, and also found the method of making gunpowder in ancient ruins.
So soon, gun weapons became popular in the subcontinent and entered the equipment arsenal of the human army.
Valentine and Chen Le had seen this brand-new weapon during their pre-marriage trip, when they were following the army to encircle and suppress monsters as part of a team of adventurers.
After discovering the demonic tide, the army did not rush directly to resolve the battle with spears as before. Instead, they separated a small team with strange long-pole weapons to carry out precise attacks on the monsters.
The pole weapons are naturally the guns of the sub-continent, and their sniper targets are the monsters with high attack and low defense and BUFF machines.
After several rounds of sniping, the monsters fell into chaos, but they did not flee. Then the army officially entered the fighting distance and began to wash the ground with bows and arrows as usual, then the infantry and magicians fought head-on, and the cavalry broke into the battlefield from the flanks.
That siege was as brutal as before, but the result was good, with more soldiers and adventurers surviving.
The reason for this is not only the sufficiently detailed and comprehensive plan, but also the contribution of new weapons.
After that, guns officially became the standard equipment of the human army, and Valentine also realized that the threat from monsters had been greatly reduced.
He once again adjusted the balance between humans and monsters, and gunpowder gradually came into the sight of fantasy species.
Nowadays, firearms have developed into many branches and become as important as magic. The army's combat methods have also changed as a result, but humans are still at peace with each other, and they also maintain friendly exchanges with fantasy species.
This series of changes made Valentin physically and mentally exhausted, but he could only endure it.
At least it's not to the point where I can't hold on any longer, and life with Chen Le can still go on as usual.
But, everything must come to an end.
--------time to go--------
Tushan.
After marrying Chen Le, the newlyweds made Tushan their permanent residence. After all, this is a place that is easy to get in and difficult to get out of. The white foxes are quite repellent from the outside world and are quite closed-minded.
Valentine understood this, because he set this up for the foxes, so they settled down and became residents of Tushan.
However, he and Chen Le would still return to Devans City occasionally. After all, they still had friends outside, but only rarely.
Valentine enjoys this pastoral life, leisurely and contented. Not to mention a super beautiful wife and three cute little fox cubs.
He had already thought of a name for his third child when he first met Chen Le, and now he has achieved his goal.
Time passed by, the little fox cubs grew up and had their children. Valentine and Chen Le became elders, and their status in Tushan gradually improved, from uncle and aunt to uncle and aunt, and now to grandparents.
How many years have passed?
About……
It's been more than a hundred years.
Valentin looked at his lover lying on the bed and gently held her hand.
Chen Le was still beautiful at this time, as if time had stopped flowing on her. The innocent and cute stupid fox had enriched his experience during the pre-marriage trip and became mature, gentle, charming and charming until today.
Valentine, too, remains the same as he was in the past.
He knew very well that he would not change. Even though his appearance could change, his heart would still be young. Love will not change because the other half ages, but it will feel a little uncomfortable after all.
In order to avoid this mentality and for his own desires, the young Valentine asked Chen Le if he wanted to find a magic medicine that could keep people young forever.
If Chen Le refuses, he will never have this idea again. Satisfying desires must also be mutually consensual, otherwise he will just be a slutty man who lusts after other people's bodies.
Fortunately, Chen Le agreed and was very interested.
So Valentine arranged an adventure that seemed to be full of dangers but always managed to survive, and "sent" the magic medicine into his own hands, achieving the achievement of "forever 17 years old".
However, this medicine can only guarantee a youthful appearance, but cannot guarantee eternal life.
When the time comes, what is supposed to happen will still happen.
Just like Chen Le at this moment.
Underneath the young and beautiful skin is a body and soul that is about to reach the end of its life.
She couldn't even speak. She could only lie on the bed and hold Valentine's hand, tilting her head to look at the man she had loved all her life.
Those eyes did not show any signs of age. The bright red and rose-purple pupils projected endless tenderness, as wide and deep as the sea, flowing into Valentine's heart with infinite sweetness, expressing it in a calm way. She has the strongest love for the person in front of her.
Watching Valentine's body trembling slightly, his heart ached.
He wanted to save Chen Le and make her become an immortal like himself, so that this love could exist forever in the Asian continent.
But he understood better that besides Chen Le, there were two girls waiting for him in another world. That world was not as beautiful as the Asian continent, and it could not produce innocent and lovely girls like Chen Le. Everywhere you looked, it was full of filth, and everyone was moving forward with heavy burdens.
The subcontinent no longer needs Valentine. They pray to the God of Creation every day, but they have never received blessings from the God of Creation. They just live by their own strength with extremely firm faith.
The same goes for Chen Le.
She doesn't need a creator god, she doesn't need a miracle to be with her lover forever, and she doesn't need to live forever.
No need for pity, even if the pity is tinged with love for her.
The two stared at each other for a long time, the only sound in the room was their breathing. Seemingly tired, Chen Le finally closed his eyes and fell asleep with a little fatigue just like he had done so many afternoons before.
There was still a smile on her lips, and she still held her lover's hand.
Valentin looked at Chen Le's face, his eyes red. He could feel that two souls intertwined emerged from this body, disappeared, and returned to their origins.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Finally, Valentin couldn't control his emotions, raised his left hand to cover his cheek, and cried bitterly.
In 4199, Valentine and Chen Le met. At that time, he was a very idle god, and at that time, Chen Le was an innocent and simple little fox.
In 4204, they got married after five years together. Valentine found the joy of life and began to truly live as an ordinary person.
It was at that wedding that he finally understood that his feelings for Chen Le were true love. The Holy Girl is a substitute for Raphael and Xing Yihuang, and the harem during the period of the wise king just liked it. Even if you take responsibility, staying together until the end is not love.
Chen Le is the first girl he has given his sincerity to in the thousands of years he has lived in Asia.
In 4379, Chen Le passed away.
Valentine no longer cares about the Asian continent, and his story in this world has come to an end.
