Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

The king of the West Bay Federation was a little confused. He didn't know what he said to make this brave man so surprised.

"Um...yes, what's the problem?"

Wu Xiangyu could no longer calm down. It was not that he had never thought about making a musket in this world. As mentioned before, he was busy fighting the Demon King at first. More than 30 years had passed since the Demon King was defeated. When he thought about making a musket for fun, While playing, he discovered that he had forgotten all that knowledge long ago.

He only remembered one sulfur, two nitrates, and three charcoal. Sulfur is sulfur, and nitrate is saltpeter. Needless to say, charcoal, but what is sulfur? What does saltpeter look like? He didn't know, and the people here didn't know what the sulfur and saltpeter he was talking about were. Just remember that the formula cannot create gunpowder at all.

But what did he hear now? A man ran up to me and said, "Want to see the musket you made?"

Gunpowder has not even been produced, but muskets have come out?

Wu Xiangyu suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Oh, I just want to ask, how did you know that the weapon I made is called a musket?"

The king still didn't understand why Wu Xiangyu asked this. In his opinion, the musket was first invented by the Yaori Republic. Later, the Wu Group also started doing business with them. As the largest non-state organization in the Human Alliance, it should also Some spies will be sent in to get information about the muskets.

The Wu Group's technology is also very advanced, and it shouldn't be too difficult for them to imitate muskets. After thinking about it, the king finally realized his problem:

Oh~, I understand! I shouldn't be able to say it so openly. After all, it's a counterfeit stolen weapon. It's not good for my reputation.

Thinking of this, the king of the West Bay Federation smiled and said: "Master Brave, I understand. Now is not the time to talk. After today's banquet, we will talk in private."

In this way, with Wu Xiangyu looking confused, the king of the Xiwan Federation left the banquet with an "I understand" expression. Now people from other countries came to ask Wu Xiangyu about the specific performance of some weapons, but he How could I still have the mood to introduce these things now? After handing them all over to others, I came to their residence in the West Bay Federation.

"Now you can tell me, where did you know about muskets?"

"Hey," said the king, "where else do you know that this is the only place where muskets are found?"

Wu Xiangyu is very angry now. He annoys the Riddler the most. You can tell me which part! During this period of seclusion, what happened outside?

The king still didn't seem to understand the expression on the brave man's face, and he was also confused. Are you really in retreat, right? How did you come up with the musket when you were in seclusion?

"That's the Sunri Republic." The king spread his hands helplessly.

Republic! what happened? It has only been 20 years, so why is the Renaissance finished? Not only did the Renaissance happen, but the nation was founded...

"I want to ask what kind of country this is and where they are."

"I'm not very clear about this, but it's just a country made up of country bumpkins. There aren't many people who know magic. Now they just rely on some useful tricks. Once we all learn it, they will be useless. "The king said disdainfully.

But he looked at Wu Xiangyu's serious eyes again. It seemed that he was not satisfied with his answer, and added: "Hahaha, it seems that the brave man is very interested in that place. I think Duke Hardy can answer your question." question"

Hardy, who heard this from the side, came up and told Wu Xiangyu about the emergence of the Sunshine Republic, as well as some small-scale wars and subsequent transactions between the West Bay Federation and them.

"That's it, Lord Brave. When I fought with them for the first time, I thought they had great magicians to help them. Later I discovered that they not only had muskets, but also more powerful artillery. Oh, artillery is almost a kind of Large musket"

Wu Xiangyu thought about it. He originally thought it was a spontaneous change in the world, but now it seems that this must be the work of the time traveler.

But now I have a question. This time traveler should also be a brave man, but I have no idea who he is. There are only a handful of people who survived the war with the Demon King. Some have died, and some are living in seclusion and enjoying retirement life. Went there, and none of them were scientists.

They should be like themselves. Even if they learned some physics and chemistry in high school and college, they should have forgotten it long ago, and the manufacture of firearms is not that simple.

There is another possibility, that is, this person came through time after the war ended, but this does not make sense. Why does the goddess release brave men into this world?

Wu Xiangyu was puzzled.

Hardy continued: "Lord Brave, your Wu Group has already been in contact with them. You can ask them for more details. I want to ask you the price of your musket. You didn't seem to mention it at the banquet. "

ah? Is your group already connected with that country? But at this moment he did not show any surprise: "That musket is a semi-finished product and cannot be used. Of course, I won't stop you if you want to buy it."

"It's good if it can be sold. It's good if it can be sold. We want to buy 50 pieces. How can we negotiate the price?" Hardy said with a smile.

"The barrel of the musket needs to be made of high-quality fine steel, otherwise it will not be strong enough to support the explosion caused by magic. The various small parts inside also require experienced blacksmiths with at least 20 years of experience, so the price is not cheap for a gun. 5 gold coins”

"Magic?" Hardy asked his own question: "Does magic need to be used to use this gun?"

"Yes"

Then you still buy it so expensively! This was what Hardy had in mind. The reason he wanted to buy a musket was because it didn't require magic and could be used by those mud-legged people. But it turns out that your gun requires magic to be used, so why did I buy it?

"Ahem" Hardy coughed awkwardly.

Wu Xiangyu smiled knowingly: "Hahaha, I already said this is a semi-finished product. Forget it, I'm not joking with you. Even if you really want to buy it, I have no stock. I only have that one musket. I won't sell it to our Wu family. The group’s other products are many times more powerful than muskets. You might as well buy other weapons. I’ll leave today.”

"Master Brave, walk slowly"

He left the federal residence in Xiwan and hurried back. He wanted to find out which branch of the Wu Group was doing business with that Sunri Republic. He had just left the country and there were still many things to do. After the banquet here, he still wanted to to visit his old friend.

However, as soon as he returned to the banquet, he saw everyone in a panic.

"What happened?" Wu Xiangyu asked.

"Master Brave, you came just in time," said a clergyman: "Emperor Albert, Emperor Merlin, and His Majesty Ventis are all waiting for you. As for what happened, you will know when you get there."

Wu Xiangyu walked into the parliament hall. Not everyone was present. Only the emperors of the two empires and the kings of three small countries in the north were present. Especially the kings of those three small countries looked very panicked.

Fantis saw Wu Xiangyu coming and said, "Brave, you have arrived just in time. The cultists have attacked us again. This time the crisis is more serious than the last Goblin incident!"
