Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 56: Thorn Golden Rose
While Ivan was muttering secretly, things on the merchant ship made new progress.
Although the smuggling ship was seized, they are going to participate in the celebration after all, and it is not suitable to take these goods on the road.
The general is in charge, and he waved his hand: “Look at paying taxes on the parts that are not contraband.”
In front of his sons and daughters, especially the innocent and lovely daughter, he didn’t want to make the scene too ugly. It was also an open side, giving this nasty guy who dared to smuggle a way out.
“Yes, yes, thank you, sir!” After the commander conveyed the general’s order, the fat businessman thanked him so much that he crawled and ran into the cabin where he lived in preparation for a fine.
Although my profits are bound to shrink greatly after paying the tax, I still have a profit, which is 10,000 times better than the total penalty!
huh…huh…
Not long after, he struggling to walk out holding a wooden box and a long box, and placing it in front of the major officer with a painful expression.
“My lord, this is all my property except for the goods. Please check it and see if it is enough.”
“Heh…”
Looking at this fat face with a smirk, the major officer didn’t believe a word of what he said to him.
He just knows that if this guy dared to give him one less copper, he would have to give him a good look first without the general’s order!
patter—-
opened the box, and the officer curled his lips.
Seeing that the box is not small, in fact, except for a small number of golden lions, most of them are silver bulls, and there are even a lot of copper fur. Several exquisitely crafted small pocket watches inlaid with gem crystals, sterling silver knife and fork plates, and a roll of soft ski white silk.
It seems that there is a feeling of hollowing out the family.
Fortunately, in addition to currency and precious metals, pocket watches and silk are also hard currencies in the kingdom. Obviously, in this case, he wouldn’t dare to fool the navy even if he gave him ten courage.
But… the number is still wrong!
Major ’s brows have just been wrung, and the fat businessman who is good at observing words has already held the last long strip of box and handed it over.
just opened it and took a look, and the major quickly closed the lid. His complexion immediately looked much better, and he patted the businessman on the shoulder again, and directly announced the closing of the team.
“What’s the secret?” Ivan was a little far away, and Jing Hong couldn’t see what was in the box at all.
But soon, His Excellency the General satisfied his curiosity.
The “fine” harvested was immediately handed over to General Snett. Ignoring the bits and pieces in the wooden box, he was very confident in the eyesight of his officers.
What makes him more interested is the things in the long box.
That is a musket.
is strictly an “alchemy musket”!
Different from ordinary muskets, which are mostly made by blacksmiths in the ordnance shop, “alchemy muskets”, “alchemy bombs” and more magical “sea monster pointers” are all made by mysterious “alchemists”.
“Ha, it really is a masterpiece from the hands of a master alchemist!”
The magical alchemy gives this kind of alchemical creation superior performance beyond the times, and is regarded as a treasure by every spearman master.
However, unlike the standardized equipment such as the alchemy bomb, the precision of the alchemy musket also means that it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Every surviving alchemy musket is synonymous with rare and precious.
I don’t know where this ugly smuggler got this treasure, but he missed it because of a dramatic anti-smuggling operation.
Ivan has been in the navy for so long, and he is no stranger to all kinds of excellent weapons.
As far as he knows.
Although overall, the productivity of this era is very backward, because of the coexistence of witchcraft and technology, the alchemy muskets from the masters even possess the power of terror that surpasses the modern firearms of previous generations.
even because of their powerful power and accuracy, they have a proprietary name-“sniper rifle”.
Its superior performance beyond the times allows excellent sniper gunners to accurately kill opponents with the help of a special scope. Even a powerful extraordinary knight at a suitable distance can’t resist the sudden sniper of a sniper rifle.
There is no doubt that Ivan covets such a powerful weapon.
Although he is good at swordsmanship, he does not have the obsession of “Being honest with the sword can be the best at the sword”. As a typical pragmatist, of course, what is easy to use.
In the previous life, every boy had a dream about firearms when he was young.
For the alchemy musket, which is known as the strongest individual weapon standing at the pinnacle of the times, Ivan naturally has a deep understanding of its power.
is rumored.
Even those great knights who are tenacious and strong enough to interfere with reality and even activate the supernatural power of vindictiveness, dare not distance themselves, and at the same time face three or five alchemists in the hands of excellent snipers. Musket.
Although the final winner is likely to be a knight, he must also pay a painful price.
This also proves the deterrent power of the alchemy musket.
Of course, alchemy muskets are rare, but good snipers are even rarer. The requirements on land may not be so harsh, because the solid ground can provide enough stability for the sniper.
But on a battleship, there is never a stable platform for snipers to shoot. The ever-present wind and waves make the difficulty of sniping soar, and “the smallest difference is a thousand miles” in long-range sniping is by no means empty words.
The sniper, like a mathematician, is a very talented profession. The so-called talent is more similar to a special kind of intuition, which is difficult to train.
Therefore, the powerful snipers in the Royal Navy that can really exert the power of the alchemy musket may only be in the single digits, maybe less than the number of alchemy muskets in the world~ IndoMTL.com~ even the most powerful alchemy muskets are placed on mediocrity. In the hands, they are similar to those of ordinary blacksmiths. “
Obviously more than one has the same idea as Aiwen.
When the general raised the “alchemy musket” to admire it, Ivan also saw its full picture.
The barrel is slightly dull in silver, and the wood is fine burgundy butt. A vine dotted with golden rose pattern runs through the whole body of the gun. It is better to say that it is a big killer. Magnificent artwork.
A line of small characters was engraved on the bottom part of the butt, and the general with his favorite color read its name: “Thorn Golden Rose!”.
“Yeah! This musket is so beautiful, and the name is very nice!” Even the little girl who knew nothing about weapons gave a heartfelt admiration.
I even tried to reach out and touch it several times, but the general avoided him. The Lieutenant General would not dare to let a bear kid touch this kind of thing, even a very cute bear kid.
After admiring it for a long time, General Snetter regretfully put down this alchemy musket. Although a group of officers next to him had eager eyes, most of them were self-aware, and neither ability nor status was worthy of this musket.
General Snett, although expensive as a lieutenant admiral, is also a downright civilian general. He knows very well that even if he takes this musket, it is only used as a precious decoration, and it can’t exert its value at all. , Too violent.
“Save it! I hope it can meet its owner in the future.”
A group of people watched as the re-sealed alchemy rifle was sent into the lower compartment, until the shadows were no longer visible.
“If only I had a talent for sniper.”
The same sigh echoed in everyone’s hearts at this moment.
