Although an Yizhi already has too many characteristics that do not belong to human beings, and his character has some antisocial meaning, it is undeniable that he is still a human and has the fragile essence of mortals.
Therefore, an Yizhi now wants to make a vigorous scene and completely destroy the whole imperial capital with his ability, which is really a bit boastful, but he can still tear down half of the city.
However, there must be strong people on the imperial side. This kind of boss with a level of about 60 ~ 70 can be said to be the standard configuration of each organization. Just like nuclear weapons, you can not use them, but you must have them, otherwise you won't fart.
Moreover, this is not the copy where the Star Tower is located, nor is it a magic city. An Yizhi has no home advantage here, and is very lack of intelligence and manpower.
As he thought, he named all the nobles one by one, and the consequences are likely to be that the real murderer is at large. An Yizhi was directly expelled from the copy, and the main task failed.
So an Yi points to the place he is going now to find clues in order to lock in the behind the scenes.
Before, Carla asked the guard to help find a qualified blacksmith shop. Usually, the guard didn't mind this kind of business.
Because Carla is the person in charge of the serial killer case, which belongs to the additional establishment airborne, the police will cooperate in this case, and the other parts are not under her control.
However, with the help of an Yizhi and Carla, the serial killer has been blocked into the sewer, and the guard can finally work with relief. They didn't refuse Carla's request.
Mainly because it is not difficult to find.
In the northwest corner of the imperial capital, there is a street famous for the gathering of craftsmen.
There are a large number of blacksmith shops and alchemy workshops here. The equipment and weapons produced here will be sent to equipment stores all over the country for adventurers to choose.
Therefore, over time, this street is also called craftsman street.
The permanent residents in the streets are mainly dwarves, halflings, dwarfs and other creatures.
It can be said that the clues obtained by an Yizhi according to the crossbow and sleeve arrows are almost useless, because there are too many qualified blacksmith shops and alchemy workshops in this street, 8 out of 10.
If only Ann Yizhi and Kara, I'm afraid it will take some effort, and it's relatively convenient with the intelligence support of the guard.
Due to the considerable tax contribution of craftsman street, the guard patrolled this part of the street quite frequently. The patrol found that there was a blacksmith shop closed here.
This is not normal.
During the Midsummer Festival, a large number of tourists poured into the imperial capital, and the adventurers with special freedom of movement accounted for the vast majority.
Adventurers are the main customers of these craftsman streets. It is not uncommon for tourists to come here and buy equipment at a much cheaper price.
In addition, the merchants who buy goods in bulk in the imperial capital, this time is the busiest time in the craftsman street. Everyone has worked hard to make money.
At this time, a blacksmith shop was closed. Naturally, it was suspicious.
Since Carla didn't explain to the guard what they were going to do with the blacksmith shop, she and an Yizhi were the only people on the trip.
Find the closed blacksmith shop according to the house number. His appearance is almost the same as that of the magic consumables shop. The iron roll door is closed. The difference is that the blacksmith shop has only two floors, and you can see a long chimney behind it.
After sending off the rickshaw, Carla grabbed the weapon around her waist and was ready to start at any time. Then she came forward and knocked on the iron roll door, but no one responded.
Carla took two steps back and pointed to Ann:
"No one answered the door and there was no smoke from the chimney behind. Let's go to the nearby store to ask about it."
"Don't bother."
Then an pointed and raised his hand:
"Spell Penetration: position siege hammer!"
The hammer position with strong impact force directly dented the iron roll door like a truck. With the noise of creaking metal deformation, a finger was installed to directly hit a big hole in it.
The big noise naturally attracted the attention of the nearby store. A dwarf came out not far from the next door. He shouted in a racial voice:
"What do you want!"
At the same time, holding an iron hammer to expose the strong tendon flesh of the upper body, it seems that an Yizhi regarded them as troublemakers.
Ann ignored him and reached for the book of the fetus.
"Come out, Graham"
——Long!
The giant earth giant rose from the ground. Although he was not blessed by the perfect reader, Graeme's height was still more than 6 meters, almost equal to the height of five dwarfs.
The latter was frightened and almost sat on the ground. Seeing that Graeme had no follow-up action, he ran away with a hammer. It is estimated that he went to the guard.
An Yizhi completely ignored the eyes from the surrounding shops and walked into the blacksmith's shop as if nothing had happened.
Carla looked, sighed and followed.
I always think the bodyguard hired a little crooked
The interior of the blacksmith shop does not look strange. The shelves are full of all kinds of weapons and equipment.
"Detect magic"
With the development of the detection spell, an Yizhi did not receive any magical response.
He said to Carla who had just followed him:
"We may have found the right place."
The productivity of this replica world is very high, and the level of alchemy is much better than that of other replica worlds, especially in the mass production of low-end magic items.
Theoretically, there are few items in this copy that have not been enchanted, because enchanting doesn't cost much.
Therefore, when the detection magic goes on without any response, it means that the goods placed in this equipment store are actually like goods, which are used to deceive people's camouflage.
However, an pointed and said such a sentence. He didn't explain at all. He continued to raise his feet and move on.
Carla didn't dare to ask, because the state of an's finger is really a little scary.
Through the counter full of goods, Ann kicked the open wooden door with one finger and one foot and came to the backyard.
Here you can see a small furnace. At the other end of the furnace, there is a big pot almost five or six meters opposite it. It looks like the common kind of earth stove in the countryside.
The furnace is no longer burning. I quickly tested the temperature of the outer wall of the furnace by hand. It is a little hot. The fuel in the furnace has been burned out. It is estimated that it is something left behind.
"There are marks on the iron felt that I have knocked something recently. I can't see it if it's too specific."
Hella looked at the iron felt beside the furnace and said. Ann nodded, skipped the furnace and looked at the big pot on the other side.
To be sure, this pot is definitely not used for cooking.
There must be oil stains on the pot that often cooks, and this pot is very dry. It looks more like a cast iron pot for frying melon seeds and dry goods.
Strangely, the stove seems to be built temporarily. There is also a handle on the big pot to move the pot, but a lot of mud for blocking is coated on the edge of the pot, just as the owner doesn't want the fire under the stove to jump into the big pot accidentally.
Ann squatted down and looked at a wisp of black dust left on the stove.
He twisted it with his hand and it felt a bit like toner.
With the big pot and black powder like toner, an Yizhi suddenly had an idea.
He took out a long match for his pipe and put the flame close to the black powder.
With a cry, the wisp of powder burned quickly and released a large amount of white smoke and choking smell.
"Yes, it's black powder."
Hearing an Yizhi's words, Karachi said strangely:
"What is black powder?"
Ann pointed back and looked at Carla with a fool's eyes:
"You don't even know black powder? Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain. Haila gave her a popular science."
But I didn't expect that Haila also wondered:
"Master, what is black powder? There is no such medicine in the database. Is it a magic medicine that can burn?"
Only then did he realize that he had made a common sense mistake.
There is no black powder in the magic world, including this seemingly developed copy world.
Although guns are not rare in the multi universe, many players use guns, but the bullets fired by guns are not powered by gunpowder, but by encapsulated flame magic.
The advantage of this is that it is not afraid of moisture and has better reliability. The disadvantage is that it is expensive. Even if there are special molds that can make bullets in batch, the price is not cheap, which makes many remote players who use guns complain.
In other words, they have no idea what gunpowder is.
He was about to show off the significance of gunpowder to war when he remembered another thing.
Gunpowder is not a simple mixture of one nitrate, two sulphonates and three charcoal. It takes a lot of effort to make this gunpowder and ignite it. Not to mention that gunpowder formula can directly affect the research and development of war weapons in many cases.
In addition to the main components such as nitrate, sulfur and charcoal, other components will be added or the proportion will be changed to produce the desired gunpowder characteristics, such as smokeless gunpowder, primer propellant used on firearms and bullets, etc.
Black gunpowder is a relatively simple thing. The big pot is used to fry gunpowder. As for the more specific method
——I don't want to die.
Then the question arises, not to mention where the formula of black powder comes from. In such a magical world without gunpowder, someone is actually making black powder. What's his purpose?
This can be seen from the characteristics of black gunpowder.
If the magic world wants to explode, it can simply use magic, or mix two explosive magic drugs to achieve the explosion effect, which is similar to an Yizhi's initial skill unstable compound.
However, no matter which of the above explosions is based on "magic", since they are based on magic, they are naturally targeted. Magic explosives will be detected on some important occasions or restricted areas, which is similar to the security inspection of vehicles in reality.
But the problem is that the security check in the magical world can't detect black powder, which is very scientific and not magical
Moreover, judging from the size of this big pot, the other party has prepared a lot of black gunpowder, perhaps as many as several or even more than a dozen large wine barrels. It is impossible to think about it just for experiment or making fireworks and firecrackers.
When Jeremiah was assassinated before, the premonition that someone wanted to do something became stronger and stronger.
