Release that Witch

"Lie sings," after Roland finished the operation of the alchemist, when he returned to the office again, the night screamed. "Which ancient books, 400 years ago, "Elementary Chemistry" is not the textbook you wrote for the memory of the book? That thing will be taught to the people sooner or later?"

"Good faith lies only," Roland took the cup and drank the tea. Since the Wangdu merchant Margaret gave a bag of black tea, he can finally bid farewell to the day of drinking boiled water or ale. "A prince in the palace, How can I know about alchemy very much, if there is, it is also from the teachings of the Wangdu Alchemist. Giving him a textbook for him to delve into is more acceptable than the alchemy that I teach. After all, people will always believe in themselves. ”

"Hey?" The nightingale suddenly leaned down and leaned over to Roland. "Who is your knowledge, who taught it?"

"Oh..." Roland just opened his mouth and was pressed by his nightingale with his fingers. "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I don't want to hear you lying."

He blinked and the other hand took back his hand.

"There are still five days left before the test," Roland took the opportunity to change the subject. "You have to let Carter know the operation of the new weapon in advance."

"But you are not saying that the ammunition problem has not been resolved yet?"

"Fire cotton only affects its actual use. If it is only for the test, every shot can still be done in one round. After all, there is no need to consider transporting bullets and repeated loading, and ten rounds of bullets are enough to get results," Roland Said. Of course, the lack of firing rate caused by the lack of fire cotton is a probabilistic event, which can only be decided by God and Carter's face.

*******************

West of the town wall.

Carter came to the previous explosives test site and accepted Roland's new assignment.

"Fighting a witch?" The chief knight groaned. "Can I wear the stone of God?"

"Of course," Roland smiled. "But you are faced with a special witch. The stone of God's punishment is not valid for her, and her combat style is similar to that of a warrior. She attacks with a big sword."

"What do you mean, she is a witch who is proficient in close combat?" Carter glanced at the nightingale around Roland.

"Almost, but because her ability is to strengthen herself, both strength and speed are far superior to ordinary people." Roland said, "You must be mentally prepared, probably the physical fitness of the opponent is more than the death penalty used to test the pills." Several times higher."

"It’s a few times higher...His Highness, do you know what it means?" Carter widened his eyes. "It’s very likely that even if I observed her movements, my body couldn’t keep up with the reaction. If she really said what you said. Strong, I am afraid I can't beat her."

"In theory, your winning percentage is really zero," the prince handed over a strange firearm. "But with this, your chances of winning will increase dramatically."

"This is... a new musket?" Carter took it with both hands because its trigger and barrel parts were very similar to the rifle, and the Cavaliers judged they should belong to the same weapon. It is not big, but it is heavy in the hand, and it is a bit more than a rifle. What is particularly striking is that, except for the wood at the grip, the entire gun body is made of metal, and the smooth lines and corners, as well as the grayish 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 pulled the wheel like a hive to the left. "Now I teach you how to use it."

Carter soon discovered that it was simpler to operate than a flintlock. The projectile and gunpowder were integrated, and they could be fired by simply loading the middle wheel. There are five holes in the runner, which can be loaded with five rounds of ammunition at a 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 soon as the trigger is pulled, Mars will shoot out from the hole and make a squeaking noise. Perhaps there is a piece of meteorite inside, he thought. However, the bullet design is too subtle. The pale yellow casing is probably made of a thin copper plate. The overall appearance is perfectly round, and the whole body is smooth, and there is no trace of the joint gap. The bullet is thick and thick before, and the tail is about the thickness of the index finger. It can fit the hole of the nest with great precision. How is this made?

"This is an unfinished product, so you should always pay attention to the opening at the bottom of the bullet," Roland made a shooting action. "Like me, the muzzle is slightly down, don't let the gunpowder leak out of the opening. Every time the shot is finished, Clean up the bullet nest of the runner and avoid the scattered gunpowder accumulating in the hole."

“Unfinished product?”

"Yeah," the prince shrugged. "There is still a key technology to be solved. If all goes well, you may be able to catch up before the test. By then, the opening at the bottom of the bullet will be sealed, and you don't have to worry about leaking medicine." The problem is. Let's try the target first."

If the bottom is sealed, how do you ignite the 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.

Yes, it is versatile. Carter has now admired the four princes of the Four Princes. Whether it is a court bachelor, an alchemist or an astrologer, no one can invent such a strange thing as His Royal Highness, and these things have a very high use value, unlike Inventions such as snow powder and manned kites can only be reduced to aristocratic toys. The steamer invented by His Royal Highness has been used for mining and pumping operations in mines. Firearms and artillery have repelled the evil beast and the Duke. Now Carter firmly believes that as long as it takes time, it is inevitable that Ronald Wimbledon will be on the throne of the Grey Fort.

The target stands 10 meters away, and the humanoid target at this distance is only the size of the palm. In accordance with the dual-handed guns taught by His Royal Highness, he leaned slightly over the body, aiming the barrel at the target and deducting the trigger.

Sparks and gas spurted from both sides of the wheel, and the huge sound shook the ears. He felt as if someone had pushed himself and the wrist was unconsciously lifted up. When the smoke is exhausted, the target looks intact.

"Continue," Roland said.

Carter took a deep breath and fired the remaining four bullets. As a result, there was still no target.

"This..." Carter looked down to His Royal Highness, who did not seem to care.

"The pistol is short, the range and accuracy are not as good as the rifle, and the off-target is very normal. Plus the bullet is close to 12 mm, the recoil is much larger than the rifle." He started talking about Carter's incomprehensible words. You practice according to the method I said. Before the test, you must have five shots to hit the target, and you have a chance to win. Right... Don’t forget to collect the shells, they can be used after reloading. A lot of times." (To be continued.
