Path of light

Chapter 834 835. The so-called treasure

The lid of the wooden box was pried open again, revealing the rust-proof oilcloth inside, and the air was immediately filled with a rich smell of butter.

Great Magician Grams had a serious expression on his face. He did not rush to lift the oilcloth, but tried to find some special symbols on the wooden box. He even lowered his head and sniffed the linen oilcloth, then said to Roy:

"It should come from the dwarven kingdom. Only the Stans dwarves like to use whale oil as anti-rust oil. I have smelled this smell on many magic devices."

Roy said nothing.

Watching the great magician Grams lift up the oilcloth, the dark gold patterns on the round tube inside made the great magician Grams hold his breath again.

He lifted the oilcloth until he saw the dark hole, and then began to look for the gemstone base...

His hand kept stroking the pattern on the metal barrel, muttering to himself:

"This is the barrel of the CX-II magic cannon, a representative work of Hextech technology in the goblin civilization. The goblins used magic cannons to knock open the doors of countless countries."

Following Grahams's gaze, Roy also saw the line of words engraved on the barrel of the gun.

"It's indeed a magic cannon! Grahams, do you know how to use a magic cannon?" Roy took the opportunity to ask.

The Great Magician Grams's eyes were somewhat complicated. He placed one hand on the cannon, feeling the coldness coming from it, and suddenly spoke:

"These magic cannons are easy to operate, but before I tell you how to use them, I want to ask you a question."

"Then ask!" Roy said.

Great Magician Grams turned his head and stared into Roy's eyes and asked:

"Roy, when you master these magic cannons, will you point the muzzles of these cannons at the Elf Continent?"

Roy's heart skipped a beat...

When Great Magician Grams asked this question, it was obvious that these magic cannons were extremely powerful.

He was worried that he would use the magic cannon to deal with the Silver Moon Elves on the Elf Continent...

In fact, recently, Roy has also thought about how to deal with the relationship with the Silver Moon Elves in the future.

Although the half-blood elves of the Partington plane have separated from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, their roots are still there...

Many of the half-elves’ relatives and friends still live in the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom. Some things can never be severed.

So what reason do I have to return to the Elven Continent and fight for that piece of land with the elves who originally lived there? "

Roy said with a faint smile.

Great Magician Grames could sense the sincerity in Roy's tone.

"The magic cannon itself is powered by magic crystals."

He placed his hand on the tail of the magic cannon, where there was a very obvious gem groove.

"These magic crystals are usually installed on the gem base. Only when six magic crystals are placed on the gem base can the magic pattern matrix on the magic cannon be activated."

The Great Magician Grams' fingers moved back and forth along the complicated magic patterns. After identifying some of them, he continued:

"Each time the magic cannon needs to charge up for about a quarter of an hour, and it also needs to be filled with high-end shells with magical properties. These shells can add fire-attributed meteor showers, water-attributed blizzards, earth-attributed meteorites, and wind-attributed tornadoes. Only when these high-level magics are imprinted on the shells can the magic cannon exert its maximum power."

Roy asked the Great Magician Grams: "So... if you want to use these magic cannons, the shells are the key, right?"

Great Magician Grams nodded:

“That’s true, the magic cannon can only be considered a magic power amplification device.

If you want to use magic cannons, you also need to purchase this type of magic shells from magicians.

Just like the whale-hunting crossbows on the ship now, they are almost the same kind of magic devices, but the power of the magic cannon is much greater than that of the whale-hunting crossbow. "

The great magician Grams rummaged through the wooden box, a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"By the way, where are the gun mounts for these magic cannons?"

Roy was also a little confused: "I didn't find the gun mount. There is only this kind of cannon in the cabin of this ship..."

Great Magician Grams was worried that Roy didn't understand the working principle of the magic cannon, so he continued to explain to Roy:

“Every time the magic cannon fires a shell, it produces a very strong recoil.

In order to prevent the backward shock force of the cannon from injuring the gunner, the goblin engineers customized a very special gun mount for the magic cannon when they invented it.

This gun mount can absorb sudden bursts of impact and instantly disperse the recoil generated by the magic cannon, forming a huge buffer.

So the gun mount on the magic cannon is actually very important."

"This ship's warehouse is filled with these cannon barrels. We didn't find any other parts..."

In fact, Roy didn't care much about the so-called gun mount.

Because in his opinion, as long as two iron wheels and a horizontal axis were added to the gun barrels and a method of fixing them was found, a cannon would be completed.

He had never thought about the need for a specific gun mount for this magic cannon...

"Oh, right... there are also many magical devices installed on that ship. I don't know what they are used for yet. Maybe they are the gun mounts you mentioned."

Roy patted his head and thought that since the gun mounts were so important, perhaps they were placed on another ship.

The great magician Grams said quickly: "Then let's go and take a look..."

The two men walked down from the three-masted sailboat, passed the sampan on the dock, and came to another three-masted sailboat.

The flotation device on the deck had been almost completely removed by the half-blood elves.

A group of half-elf crew members were dismantling the cargo hold cover on the deck, preparing to use the ship's lifting tools to lift the wooden boxes in the cabin and place them on the dock.

Roy pointed to the opened cargo hold and said to the great magician Grams:

"The magical devices in these boxes look quite sophisticated, but I don't know what they are used for."

Then Roy pointed to a wooden box on the deck and asked two half-elf crew members to open the lid of the box.

Almost every magic device has been treated very well with anti-rust measures, and the magic device placed in the box looks like a conical pine cone.

Each disc is engraved with the most delicate runes. A large number of runes are pieced together to form a densely packed magic array. The patterns on the array are all silver lines.

Roy couldn't even see the gem base on this half-meter-high metal pine cone.

The great magician Grams' eyes widened. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and whispered to Roy:

"This is what's stored in the cabin of this ship?"

Roy glanced at the half-elf crew member next to him.

The crew member quickly stood up, approached Roy and said:

"Boss, we tried to open a few wooden boxes, and they were all filled with this thing."

Seeing Roy's inquiring look, Great Magician Grams reached out and touched the metal pine cone and said:

"This thing is not a gun mount. It is actually a small magic matrix. You can think of it as the heart of a steel golem."

Roy knew very little about magic, but he knew about Iron Golem.

Because when he was in the Dark Land, Grand Mage Cedric used a steel golem to pull his huge magic caravan.

Roy was deeply impressed by the steel golem.

The iron golem was so strong that even though its waist-deep part was sunk into the desert, it could still pull the magic caravan around.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Roy couldn't help but ask, "Is it like the iron heart of the Great Magician Cedric?"

Great Magician Grams nodded:

"Well, almost. Maybe this thing is a little more advanced than Mr. Cedric's steel golem. Things made by the goblin workshop are always so exquisite."

Roy asked tentatively: "With these hearts, can we produce steel galum?"

Grimes shook his head.

"Not yet. We still need other parts made by alchemists. But those magic parts are not difficult to make. Almost all of them have quite mature sets of blueprints."

"This thing can be said to be the treasure that many alchemists dream of. In order to obtain it, many alchemists are willing to follow the archaeological team to dig in ancient ruins all year round."

The great magician Grams casually flipped through the box and looked away:

"Are all these things in the cabin?"

Roy replied: "The boxes are all similar, just with a few slight differences."

As the two were talking, they saw four half-blood elves carrying a wooden box and preparing to get off the boat. Great Magician Grams pointed at the wooden box they were carrying and said:

"This wooden box is a little different. Bring the box over here and we'll take a look."

Roy didn't notice anything different, and the other half-blood elves were also confused.

Boss Roy waved at them, and they immediately carried the wooden box over...

After opening the wooden box and lifting the oilcloth, the magic device inside was indeed different.

It was a cylindrical magical device with a pure silver base underneath. The entire drum was made of golden gold, and a fist-sized ruby ​​was installed on the top, with the tip of the ruby ​​facing upwards.

Roy's attention was completely focused on the ruby. The crystal clear ruby ​​had no impurities at all and was blood red...

Since Great Magician Grams could not see the magic pattern on the cylinder, he asked the half-elf crew to open the four side walls of the wooden box, revealing the entire magic device.

Looking down from the top of the box, this magic device is similar to the small magic matrix just now.

But when viewed from the side, there is a big difference. The previous magic device was pine cone-shaped, while this magic device is cylindrical. It is golden all over, and there is a fist-sized ruby ​​inlaid on the top, making it look more valuable.

"The hearts of these magic golems seem to be more advanced." Roy said.

The great magician Grams looked at Roy, and then explained:

"This is a magic shield. If you install it on a magic airship, as long as you have enough magic crystals, you can open a circular magic shield on the magic airship. This shield can weaken almost all magic and physical attacks."

Roy had seen the magic shield in the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp, but it was supported by twelve magic towers and a main tower. The entire shield protected the entire camp...

The Great Wizard Grams said:

"These magic shields are smaller, Roy. You can try them. Apart from burning more magic crystals, they have almost no disadvantages."

Great Magician Grams said that he was burning magic crystals, so it couldn't be an ordinary loss...

At this moment, Roy seemed to be pushed into the magic gate by someone.

It can be said that those magical devices brought him one surprise after another, and they were all extremely novel.

Whether it's the magic cannon or the magic protective shield, it seems that they can hit the magic airship...

The only regret was that he couldn't find the gun mount for the magic cannon, but this thing was not an advanced magic device. Roy felt that the forging workshop in the Partington plane could easily make it.

"Since there is such a magic shield, why don't the gray dwarves transform those three-masted sailing ships into magic airships?" Roy was a little confused.

Grems thought about it seriously and said to Roy:

"Is it possible that they lost the dwarven treasure before they had time to transform the magic airship..."

Roy couldn't find a more reasonable explanation and could only agree with what the great magician Grahams said.

…

Roy returned to the dock and saw that the seawall built along the coastline on the south side of the island had actually extended to the side of the dock.

Although the height of the seawall still needs to be increased, most of the seawall has been completed.

It's just like what Mu Lin said: You should never underestimate the construction speed of the Plateau Headhunters...

In just three months, they built a seawall nearly 30 kilometers long along the coastline.

The chains tied together huge rocks formed the foundation of the seawall, which looked quite solid. The waves hit the cornerstones, and even high tide could not break the seawall at all.

In fact, this seawall is not mainly aimed at the gray dwarf bandits. Those gray dwarf bandits living near Kui Island have long been defeated.

Roy was worried that the Naga tribe of the Endless Sea would one day compete with him for the ownership of the archipelago again...

At that time, having a seawall or not was two completely different concepts.

A group of highland headhunters were still mining the reefs on the seashore. In addition to a group of highland headhunters, Roy also saw a large group of gray dwarves carrying pickaxes and with shackles on their feet, who were mining those sea reefs.

As long as the reefs are placed in the iron cages on the seawall, and the iron cages filled with reefs are connected together, it will be the most solid seawall...

…

On the island of Kuei, thousands of tree houses are the fruits of the labor of the elf carpenters.
