Chapter 633 Magic Rifle
Introduced by Principal Bram, Zhou Ming entered the palace and met the emperor of the Dolan Empire——

Cassinger Bigaro.

The 66-year-old Picasso has been on the throne for nearly 40 years.

This great emperor is tall and tall, with shrewd eyes and hale and hearty eyes, and he is also a great magician... Due to his higher cultivation base, longer life expectancy, and good daily maintenance, he looks only in his 30s.

Inside the splendid palace.

After seeing Zhou Ming, Emperor Picaro got up from his seat, walked down two steps, looked him up and down, and then said:
"I heard from Bram that you have an important treasure to dedicate to me. What kind of treasure is it?"

After performing the ceremony, Zhou Ming looked around the hall for a week, and after he glanced at several guards and maids standing in the hall, he didn't move his lips, with a mysterious expression on his face.

Emperor Picaro understood, waved his hand, and told the guards and maids to retreat, and the curiosity in his heart became heavier.

Wait until there are only three people left in the hall.

A white light flashed in Zhou Ming's hand, and a bright silver "stick" appeared - a meter long, metal body, with exquisite patterns engraved on the surface, thin at the front and thick at the back, with a small hole the size of an index finger in the front.

A beautifully crafted stick.

This is the first impression produced in the mind of Picasso the Great.

He said, "This is what you call a 'strategic' weapon, a stick?"

Emperor Picaro shook his head, he felt as if he was being played with his IQ.

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!"

Zhou Ming nodded.

"So you said, where is its 'strategic value'? Is it used to knock other people's heads from behind? My little friend."

His face became a little serious: "Little friend, you should know the consequences of teasing a great king." There was a trace of warning in his voice.

"I know, Your Majesty the Emperor, I will show you its power right now, but we need to find an open place to test fire."

"No need, let's do it here." Emperor Picaro waved his hand irritably. He has so many things to do every day and doesn't have so much time to mess around.

"Are you sure, Your Majesty?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Sure!"

"Ok."

Zhou Ming nodded, took out a silver bullet from the interspatial ring, stuffed it into the "stick" in his hand from the breech, squatted on the ground, passed the three-point line, and aimed at the two-person hugging thick bullet in the hall. The red lacquered wooden pillar, the right hand placed on the lower magic stone, enters the magic power inside.

The back end of the metal "stick" emits a trace of white light.

"Buzz~"

There was a low, strange sound.

Then control a mechanism and pull the "trigger".

"puff!"

A high-speed bullet shot out from the small hole at the front of the "stick", rubbing against the air and making a muffled "poof".

"jump~"

On the red-painted wooden pillar not far away, a small hole about the thickness of a thumb suddenly appeared, exposing the white wood inside. After high-temperature friction, there was still a trace of black smoke in the hole, as well as a smell of roasted wood.

The small hole penetrates the entire wooden column, piercing the front and back.

Not only that, but the bullet that hadn't exhausted its force also shot a small hole with a larger diameter in another red lacquered wooden pillar of the same specification on the same straight line.

And it also completely penetrated, and finally shot into the masonry wall at the end of the main hall, embedded a full 15 cm, and almost shot through.

This……

Emperor Picaro was a little surprised.

How powerful is this inconspicuous stick in front of him?
Zhou Ming began to explain to him:
"I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of the 'magic crystal cannon'. This magic rifle of mine is just a powerful shooting weapon developed by imitating the principle of the magic rifle."

"There is a wind acceleration magic circle inside it, which can give the bullet two speeds."

"A projectile rotates at a speed. The faster the speed, the stronger the penetration of the bullet and the more stable the trajectory."

"One is the high-pressure detonation speed, using huge pressure to push the bullet forward, so that its exit speed can reach three times the speed of sound."

"It is so powerful that it can pierce through three thick wooden pillars of full-suited knights in a row, or through three palm-thick steel plates in a row, and even hit a horse's head, and then it can pass through its tail."

"No matter what kind of creature it is, as long as its vital parts are hit by a bullet from a magic rifle, there is basically no possibility of survival."

After listening to Zhou Ming's introduction, Emperor Picaro looked solemn, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

But immediately dimmed down again.

He shook his head: "No, if it's just like this, it's not a strategic weapon, and its power is far inferior to the magic crystal cannon. I heard that there are thousands of magic crystal cannons in the city of magic. There are hundreds of gates in the imperial capitals of some powerful empires... The Dolan Empire also wants to buy a few gates, but it is too expensive."

"Little friend, this thing is interesting, but it is far inferior to the magic crystal cannon."

The City of Magic is located somewhere along the eastern coast of the mainland. It is the headquarters of the Magic Association and the production source of the Magic Crystal Cannon.

"Indeed, in terms of power, the magic rifle is not comparable to the magic crystal cannon, but it can definitely be called a 'strategic weapon'."

"Because it has several characteristics."

Zhou Ming said: "First of all, its cost is very low. Your Majesty may not believe me when I say it. The actual cost of such a magic rifle is only 1 gold coins, which is only a thousandth of the magic crystal cannon."

"Secondly, it has a long range, up to ten miles away. Its appearance will increase the traditional combat distance of magicians by more than five times, and its shooting accuracy is high. After simple training, it can easily hit two miles away. Small and medium-sized targets, the lethality is huge, the noise is small when shooting, and the effect of sudden killing can be achieved."

"The most important thing is that its shooting consumption is very small, and the consumption of the magician's mana is surprisingly small. Even a junior magician can shoot more than 10 times in a row with this magic rifle (each shot Consumes 2 units of magic power), the intermediate magician has more than 50 times, and the advanced magician has more than 250 times, and no matter what level of magician, the bullets fired by the magic rifle are not weaker than the third-level earth magic [Stone bullets such as rain】."

"If multiple mages with magic rifles shoot together to form a 'rain of bullets' shooting effect, even a great mage may not be able to resist it."

"That is to say, if there are more than a certain number of mages using magic rifles at the same time, even if the great mage comes, there is no need to be afraid."

"I heard that the Dolan Empire has a 500-member royal mage group. I think that if they are all equipped with magic rifles, their overall attack power will be substantially improved."

"That's why I think that a magic rifle that combines the characteristics of 'high power', 'low cost', and 'low requirements for users' is a strategic weapon!"

Listening to Zhou Ming's narration, Emperor Picaro nodded again and again.

Hearing the back, the more he nods his head, the more sparkles appear in his eyes.

"well!"

"This is really a good weapon, a strategic weapon!"

"Little friend... no, Mr. Leylin, this stick you designed... no, the magic rifle, it is indeed very good!"

Taking the magic rifle in Zhou Ming's hand, Emperor Picaro kept rubbing his palm, walking around in the hall, his face became more and more excited.

At this moment, he completely believed that this weird metal stick could be called a "strategic weapon"!
For a while, various ideas popped up in his mind, such as lowering the recruitment requirements, expanding the number of the Royal Mages from the current 500 to 1000, and equiping each person with a magic rifle to intimidate those who do not want to surrender. middle kingdom.

Another example is to let a mage with a magic rifle perform some special tasks, such as assassination, destruction, intimidation, etc... It can be done without anyone noticing.

In short, with the magic rifle, the strength of the Dolan Empire may be significantly improved a lot.

The cost will not be very high.

but……

The design drawings and manufacturing process of the magic rifle are in Zhou Ming's hands.

If Zhou Ming doesn't take the initiative to hand over these materials, it will definitely take a lot of effort to rely on the Dolan Empire's own magicians to explore.

Zhou Ming said that there is no problem in handing over the materials, but he has a "small condition", that is, to enter the tenth floor of the library of Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and check the materials for a few hours... He is not demanding, and he will be given three or four Just an hour.

"This……"

Emperor Picaro hesitated a little. Of course he knew what this kid meant, but compared to the design drawings of the "Magic Rifle", those books and materials on [Forbidden Magic] were of course more valuable.

But this kid also has a sense of proportion, he only said to check for a few hours...

"All right!"

Emperor Picaro nodded, and said to Principal Bram: "I am applying with the power of the emperor to allow Mr. Leylin to enter the tenth floor of the library, but there are only three hours, Mr. Leylin, please be careful time."

"Yes." Bran nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Ming bowed twice with ecstasy on his face.

Then under the guidance of a guard, Zhou Ming was sent out of the palace.

In the main hall, only Emperor Picaro and Principal Bram were left.

The faces of both of them became a little serious.

"Bram, that kid is a talent. We must find a way to keep him in the empire and let him work for the empire."

"Yes." Bran nodded.

"If he must leave the Dolan Empire...then, kill him!" A trace of hostility flashed in Emperor Picaro's eyes.

"Yes!"

Bram answered crisply.
