Release that Witch Chapter 162: Firearm practice

"Lies in a row," when Roland finishes processing alchemist and returns to the office, Nightingale announces, "What ancient books 450 years ago, «Elementary Chemistry» is not a textbook you wrote to Scroll memory? Then Sooner or later things should be taught to citizen? "

"lie in good faith," Roland took a cup and drank tea. Since Kingdom Capital businessman Margery presented a pack of black tea, he can finally say goodbye to drinking plain water or ale every day, "A prince in the palace, How can I know alchemy in great detail, if any, it is also the teaching from Kingdom Capital alchemist. Give him a textbook for him to study on his own, it is easier to accept than I teach alchemy. People believe that they are always themselves after all. "

"Oh?" Nightingale suddenly leaned down and drew in front of Roland. "Who taught your knowledge, then?"

"Uh ..." Roland just opened and was held down by Nightingale with his finger. "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I don't want to hear you lie."

He blinked before the opponent retracted his hand.

"While there are still five days left before the test," Roland took the opportunity to change the topic, "we must let Carter be familiar with the operation of the new weapon in advance."

"But didn't you say that the ammunition problem has not been solved yet?"

"Cotton only affects its actual use. If it is only for the test, each round of the gun can still be done. After all, there is no need to consider transporting bullets and reloading during the test. Ten bullets are enough to get the result. , "Roland said. Of course, the decline in firing rate caused by the lack of cotton is a probabilistic event, and this can only be determined by the faces of God and Carter.

small town west of the city wall.

Carter came to the previous explosive test site and accepted a new task assigned to him by Roland.

"Fight with an witch?" Chief Knight startled, "Can I wear God Punishment Stone?"

"Of course," Roland smiled. "But you are facing a special witch, God Punishment Stone is invalid for her, and her combat method is similar to that of a samurai, attacking with a big sword."

"You mean, she is a witch who is proficient in melee combat?" Carter glanced at Nightingale beside Roland.

"Almost, but because her ability is to strengthen herself, she is much stronger than ordinary people in both strength and speed." Roland said, "You have to be mentally prepared, probably your opponent's physical quality is better than that used to test pills. The death penalty is several times higher. "

"Several times higher ... Your Highness, do you know what that means?" Carter's eyes widened. "It's possible that even if I observe her movements, my body can't keep up with the reaction. If she really looks like you As powerful as that, I'm afraid I can't beat her. "

"In theory, your winning percentage is indeed zero," the prince handed over a peculiar firearm, "but with this, your chance of winning will be greatly improved."

"This is ... new firearms?" Carter both hands took over because its trigger and barrel are very similar to flintlocks, Knight judged that they should belong to the same weapon. It's not big, but it's heavy in the hand, a little heavier than a rifle. What is particularly striking is that, except that the grip is made of wood, the entire gun body is made of metal. The smooth lines and corners, and the off-white metallic luster have an indescribable beauty.

Carter liked this weapon almost instantly.

"It's called a revolver," Roland pulled out another weapon of the same shape, and popped the hive-like wheel to the left. "Now I teach you how to use it."

Carter quickly discovered that its operation method is simpler than a flintlock. The projectile and gunpowder have been connected into one body, as long as it is inserted into the middle wheel, it can fire. There are five holes in the runner, which can be filled with five rounds of ammunition at one time, which is probably why it is called a revolver. There is a small hole in the tail of the pistol corresponding to the runner. As long as the trigger is pulled, Mars will shoot out of the hole and make a banging sound. Maybe a piece of flint was hidden inside, he thought. However, the design of this bullet is also too delicate. The light yellow shell is probably made of thin copper plate, and the whole shows a perfect round shape. The whole body is smooth and there are no signs of joint gaps. The bullet is thin before and thick, and the tail is about the thickness of the index finger, which can match the hole of the bomb nest with great accuracy. How did this happen?

"This is an unfinished product, so you must always pay attention to the opening at the bottom of the bullet," Roland made a shooting action, "Like me, the muzzle is slightly downward, do not let gunpowder leak out from the opening. Every time After firing, you must clear the bullet's nest of the runner to avoid the accumulation of scattered gunpowder in the hole.

"Unfinished product?"

"Yeah," the prince shrugged. "There is another key technology to be solved. If all goes well, you may be able to catch up before the test. At that time, the opening at the bottom of the bullet will be blocked, and you do n’t need to I ’m worried about drug leakage. Let ’s try shooting first. ”

If the bottom is sealed, how can I ignite gunpowder inside the bullet? Carter thought about it and decided to give up thinking about this seemingly impossible problem. After all, he was not as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as His Highness.

That's right, it's learned. Carter has admired the four His Highness the Princes now. No matter it is the court Scholar, alchemist master or astrologer, no one can invent so many weird things like His Highness, and these things have a very high use value, unlike snow powder. Inventions such as human kites can only be reduced to noble toys. The steamer invented by His Royal Highness has been used in mine transportation and pumping operations. firearms and cannon even repelled the coalition of Evil Beast and Duke. Today Carter firmly believes that as long as time goes by, it will be His Highness Roland Wimbledon who will be on the Greycastle Throne.

The target stands ten meters away. The humanoid target at this distance is only the size of a palm. He held the gun in the way both hands taught by His Royal Highness, slightly sideways his body, aimed the gun barrel at the target, and pulled the trigger.

Sparks and gas spewed from both sides of the runner. The loud sound made the ear hurt. He seemed to feel that someone had shoved himself, and his wrist lifted up unconsciously. When the smoke cleared, the target appeared intact.

"Continue," Roland said.

Carter took a deep breath, fired the remaining four bullets, but none of them hit the target.

"This ..." Carter looked at His Highness the Prince, who did not seem to care.

"Because of its short barrel, the range and accuracy of pistols are not as good as those of rifles, and missed targets are normal. In addition, the caliber of the bullet is close to twelve millimeters, and the recoil is much greater than that of a flintlock." He began to talk about the Carter's difficult to understand "In short, you can practice as I said. Before the test, you must hit the target in five rounds before you have a chance to win. Oh ... ammunition case do n’t forget to collect them, after they are refilled, I can use it many times. "(To be continued.
