Artificer Adventure Guide

Roughing his red hair, which was the same color as Karl, Ryan asked uncertainly:

"Script? You mean, storybook?"

"Emmm, you can understand it that way, so can my grandpa write?"

Picking up another piece of ribs, Karl gnawed on it while waiting for his father's answer.

"Maybe. When I went to visit him, his study was full of books. He had read so many books, so he should..."

Seeing his father's uncertain look, Karl threw down the gnawed bones and turned around to find his mother.

"Okay, don't think about it. Really, why should I ask you this! I might as well ask my mother!"

Ellifield, who was handling the remaining ingredients with Hope and Lisanna, finally noticed her biological son at this time. Watching Karl walking towards her, she cast a searching look.

"Mom, can my grandpa write scripts?"

"Yes! When I was young, your grandfather used royalties to buy me snacks. Why do you ask?"

After telling her mother about the recent events in the Tower of Strange Artifacts, Elifel showed an expression of sudden realization.

"So, with that phantom device, you can watch the play even without going to the scene?"

"Hmm! Yes, so I think Andale's demand for scripts will surge for a long time to come."

Murban and others are now trying to reduce the cost of phantom devices. If they succeed, phantom devices will be in every home like television.

But even at the current price, there are definitely people who can afford it.

For example, those Andale nobles.

And when the Nine Path competition is over, in order for these nobles to continue to have programs to watch, filming stage plays or other entertainment programs has become the best solution.

However, the reason why Queen Andale attaches great importance to this thing may be because she wants to control public opinion through phantom devices.

"Wait a minute, didn't we initially discuss how to get your father and me to get a share of the pie? How come that while we were chatting, this opportunity became your grandpa's?"

Seeing that Karl and Ellie were chatting, Ryan quit.

"Dad, you should continue to run your weapons industry. The entertainment industry is not suitable for you."

Pushing the enterprising old father back to the grill, Carl and Ellie planned to send a letter to the old man after finishing their meal.

Soon, the barbecue party came to an end.

Aliphire simply tidied up and went to write a letter to her father.

Karl, Hope, and Lisanna returned to the bedroom, ready to play some board games to pass the time.

Ryan was left alone, squatting at the door and feeling sorry for himself. He regretted that he failed to seize this opportunity. He was as frustrated as a big guy with more than 200 pounds of muscles.

…

"Uncle Ryan is really motivated!"

In Carl's bedroom, Hope held a hand of cards and lamented Carl's father's ambition.

Nearly two months of druid apprenticeship training gave her a primitive breath of nature.

This means that her body has begun to integrate with the original magic power in the wilderness.

The Druid's level 18 characteristic [Immortal Body] is derived from this.

However, compared with the effect of the immortal body extending lifespan by 10 times, low-level druids can only extend their remaining lifespan by one to six times under the influence of original magic power.

"Maybe I think that the small arsenal of my family is not very safe. It's also my fault. After I became an artificer, I told my father about the craftsmanship of an artificer. As a result, he felt a sense of crisis."

Taking a card from Lisanna's hand, Karl placed it in the middle of his hand without changing his expression.

Lisanna on the side snickered secretly, and then took a card from Hope's hand to form a pair.

"Hmm~, but the weapons produced in Uncle Ryan's factory are indeed a bit behind the times. Not to mention [8000 for your life], those ordinary swords are not even as powerful as the rifle Brother Carl made in the examination room."

While talking, another round of the ghost card drawing game had passed. Lisanna randomly drew another card from Hope's hand, only to find that the ghost card that Karl had just taken away was back in her hand.

For a moment, Lisanna's little face wrinkled up.

"Huh?"

Covering the cards in his hand on the floor, Karl looked at Lisanna, as if he woke up a dreamer with his words.

‘Dad is just worried about the embarrassment of backward products and market pressure, so he wants to develop a side business. In this case, why don’t I upgrade his industry and build a production line to produce rifle parts? ’

It's also because Carl made a lot of money after becoming self-reliant, so he somewhat neglected the factory that his old father worked hard to build.

Arkanix's student loan required at least three years of pure profits from Lane's Arsenal to repay it, but Carl paid it off on his own after one school year.

So subconsciously, he didn't take his father's factory seriously.

Considering that his father might have begun to face a mid-life crisis, Karl quickly put down the cards and ran downstairs to tell his father what he had just thought.

When he heard that his son had made a cheap, sturdy and powerful firecracker, and was squatting at the door muttering about it, Ryan immediately became angry.

"What a boy! As expected of my son! Tomorrow! Just go to the factory with me tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you, what? The efficiency of our factory is not very good?"

Hearing his son ask this, Ryan bared his big white teeth and wanted to pat his chest and say "no", but he didn't do it after all.

"Alas~, you know, our family's weapons are mainly sold to rangers, but it seems that there is a shop with better craftsmanship in Bixin City. A while ago, Lisanna's parents came to visit our house, and I saw that the double swords her father carried with him were not the pair that our family made for him before."

Although Ryan looks very rough, he can create a career in Vana City by himself, so he still has the necessary observation skills.

Even the rangers who have a good relationship with him have changed others to produce equipment, so wouldn't his own weapons lag behind others?

Eruden's weapons industry is actually much behind other kingdoms.

Because druids do not use metal weapons and armor, but various wooden weapons made of bronze wood from the land of elves.

Rangers have high requirements for weapons, but the decision-makers of the country are druids after all. They don't have high requirements for the process upgrade of metal weapons, so they are naturally a little negligent.

However, judging from a series of recent decisions, the druids of Bixin City seem to have finally realized that they need to rely on good weapons to arm the rangers.

Scratching his chin, Carl thought that since he was going to do it, he might as well add some ingredients.

"In this case, I will design a few more fire guns for our factory at that time.

What do you think of the revolver? It is a hand gun that uses a revolver to fire bullets. It is the most durable and has a simple structure. You can also add magic patterns to the revolver to connect it to the Alona quiver and automatically refill ammunition!"

The Alona quiver is the standard equipment for rangers or magic archers. This special space item has three pockets. The smallest one can hold 60 bows and arrows, and the medium and large ones can hold more.

As a [non-ordinary] level equipment, it is very cheap in the continent of Khorvaire, so rangers generally don't need to worry about running out of arrows.
