Succubus' Manor

Chi Yan was enlightened by Kleist all night. At first, he enlightened with his mouth, and later it became enlightened with his own actions.

The day after Chi Yan "enlightened" him, he woke up with a sore back and a sore back.

But Chi Yan can't rest in the castle, he has to see how the gunpowder is made. The gunpowder house is a certain distance from Stettin, and it is specially built with reinforced iron frames and bricks, and there can be no open flames. .

After all, he just started making gunpowder, so Chi Yan was afraid that it would blow up if he didn't pay attention.

Although Chi Yan knew that sacrifice might be unavoidable, he had to control all uncertain factors within his control.

The ingredients of the gunpowder are very simple, charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur. The ratio Chi Yan uses is the ratio of the later black powder, which is more lethal. It can be used not only to watch the fire, but also to blow up fireworks.

After these three things are mixed, seal them with wax, create an airtight environment for them, and leave a primer, and if there is a fire, a large amount of gas and heat will be generated, which will react and expand rapidly, causing an explosion.

If it is not in a confined space, it is likely to only burn and cannot explode.

The first wax used was beeswax. Chi Yan hadn't found any vegetable wax that could be used as a substitute. Thin iron sheets could also be used, but the cost was too high.

However, the effect of using iron sheets is definitely higher, and it is not easy to damage. No matter how well the beeswax is sealed, it is easy to get wet after a long time.

When Chi Yan arrived, the people in the fire room were experimenting.

The person in charge of the fire room was a dwarf, who had just been picked up from Saket not long ago. He was originally a steelmaker, and Chi Yan couldn't find a suitable talent, so he had to recruit one from among the steelmakers.

After all, they are all related to fire, and they all need to be bold and careful.

Before the official start of work, Chi Yan also explained to the other party the problems that may occur if a fire is caught, and that is not a small problem. If they get too close, they will be seriously injured or even killed.

In order to prevent Fang Zi from leaking out, Chi Yan selected people who were loyal to him, and paid them high wages.

It is not bad for ordinary people to earn hundreds of copper coins a month, but the basic salary of these people is one silver coin a month.

Chi Yan also gave them a guarantee that if they were injured or disabled, Chi Yan would support them for the rest of their lives, and if they died, Chi Yan would give their family a huge sum of money, ten gold coins.

Probably because Chi Yan said this earlier, the people who worked in the fire room were very careful, too careful.

So nothing happened so far.

The dwarf in charge of the fire room took Chi Yan to the open space behind, where they wanted to test a batch of gunpowder that had just been made.

All were sealed tightly with beeswax, only one lead wire was left, and it was very long.

The person in charge of starting the fire put the not-so-round bomb in the open space, then took out the fuse, and carefully ignited the fuse.

Everyone held their breath, even Chi Yan couldn't help holding his breath.

But the lead wire was too long, too long, Chi Yan couldn't hold it anymore, took a deep breath, and waited for a while, the lead wire was finally going to be burned out.

The spark was submerged in the beeswax, Chi Yan: "What? Did you misfire?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang!

——"Bang!" Everyone was taken aback.

Then there was billowing black smoke, and the flames were fleeting. They specially sorted out a piece of land without any combustibles for the experiment. After the smoke disappeared, people could see that the land where the bomb was placed was blown out of a hole. , the hole was not deep, but it was so big that even Chi Yan swallowed involuntarily.

He heard the old man say that before pushing a house, he would use explosives, wrap it in paper, wrap it in several layers, and put it under the wall.

Later, it was controlled, and the folks couldn't buy it anymore, so no one used this simple method, and they always asked the engineering team to push the house.

The black smoke was blown around, and it took a while before anyone went to check.

The man raised his head and smiled happily: "It's no problem this time! It's very good!"

Everyone cheered together.

As long as they succeed, they will have two silver coins a month.

What is the concept of two silver coins?

Many small businessmen in the city earn less than they do in a month!

The money they earn in a month is enough for them to buy a small house!

Suddenly entered the middle class.

Chi Yan was also happy: "I'll give you a day off tomorrow!"

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

"My lord, you are too kind!"

……

These people have not been taught etiquette, they just want to say what to say.

Chi Yan didn't care about it either, he just smiled and said, "But everything in the house has to be collected separately and put away."

A stone in Chi Yan's heart also fell to the ground, as he had gunpowder, he had bombs.

Sakerd also transported a batch of carefully crafted crossbows. Although they are called bows, they are actually crossbows fired by mechanization. Chi Yan is not yet capable of making machine guns and pistols. Firecrackers can be considered, but it will take a long time To debug and ponder the details, the crossbow is much more convenient. The crossbow is not only easy to use, but also low in cost. It is also powerful and has strong penetrating power.

Automatic bows existed as early as the Warring States Period. It was the European Crusaders who spread the reputation of the crossbow in the Western world. They marched eastward for two centuries. The most important weapon modification was the crossbow. The crossbow was the nemesis of knights.

For two centuries there was no rival.

With these two things, Chi Yan felt that he should have no rivals on this continent.

This is weaponry beyond this era.

The crossbow was sent to the soldiers, but everyone was only given a bow, not an arrow - Chi Yan was worried that they would play with it curiously after they got it, and it would be bad if they hurt themselves or someone else.

For the demonstration this time, Chi Yan was going to do it by himself. Anyway, this doesn't require much effort, and he can do it too.

Chi Yan asked people to set up the target, and then stood on the stage, while the guards stared at him excitedly and curiously.

When Chi Yan was in the right direction, he first pulled the bowstring back, let the string hang on the hook, and then put the arrow on the arrow path. After aiming at the target, Chi Yan pressed the hanging knife, and the bowstring hooked by the teeth popped out, and the arrow shot Shot away.

It was like a sharp knife piercing the air, irresistible.

That arrow hit the bullseye.

Chi Yan put down the crossbow, and when he turned his head, he found that the soldiers in the audience were all staring at him stupidly.

What kind of bow is this?Why not draw a bow?

Why does it look so easy?

Why are you so accurate?

how so fastThe target was almost penetrated!

Chi Yan was facing the guards. He smiled and said, "This is a crossbow. It is faster, simpler and more practical than ordinary bows, and it is more lethal."

Chi Yan: "If it is aimed at people, you should be able to imagine what kind of harm it can cause."

The guards' gazes were burning like fire, they swallowed, and all lowered their heads to look at the lowered bows.

In order not to wear out too quickly, the body of this bow is made of fine steel.

A crossbow that lasts a long time.

Chi Yan said: "Practice by yourself, and ask the instructor if you don't understand."

The instructors themselves half understood, but they didn't dare to object. They could only puff up their chests, expressing that they would never let down the trust of the lord.

It's a pity that there is no place for these soldiers to practice. Soldiers are like knives. If you don't practice, you won't become a weapon. They are decorations, not weapons.

But there are no robbers around, unless some one with no eyes comes to beat them.

Chi Yan didn't want to use other cities to practice his skills. In a war, no matter who wins or loses, the common people will suffer.

After all, Chi Yan's heart is not so cruel and cold that he doesn't take human life as human life.

It would be great if someone who was not open-eyed sent troops to fight them like Otley did before.

I just don't know if there are many cities and lords like this.

Chi Yan sighed after stepping off the stage.

In the castle of Rose, not far from Stettin, several city lords were sitting in the castle. They were wearing gorgeous robes and sitting at the round table. They all pursed their lips and looked serious.

"I invite you here this time, just to ask how many soldiers you can send." The lord of Rose was a little anxious, and he slapped the table, "You can't expect me to be the leader alone!"

The person next to him hurriedly said, "I didn't say that you should be alone, it's our business."

The lord of Rose sat down again, and he snorted: "Since Stettin changed the lord, the merchants in my city have almost run away, and the common people are also running to Stettin."

They don't care whether other cities are good or not, they just touch their interests, so they have to care if they don't care.

There are also lords who are ready to fish in troubled waters, saying over there: "There are only a few hundred guards in my city, and I can divide half of them."

The lord of Rose scolded him: "Don't hide, won't you share the benefits when you shoot Stettin down? Send out hundreds of soldiers, and then you will share some of the rags."

The lord whispered, "My city is small."

There are also those who are good at Tai Chi, and said with a smile: "Why don't we talk to the lord of Stettin, whether we can do it or not."

Rose's lord: "Then go talk."

The Tai Chi practitioners stopped talking.

Of course, there are also those who are hot-tempered and stand up as soon as they slap the table: "I have more than 2000 guards!"

The lord of Rose said with relief: "That's good, I also have more than 1000 close to [-] here."

With their start, other lords can only keep up.

The eight lords gathered a total of more than 1 people, which was the limit they could gather.

Even if the two countries are at war, the number of people is less than 1, and more than [-] people are used to fight a city, which is really a lot, and no one thinks that they will lose.

"Send a letter of challenge to the lord of Stettin." The lord of Rose has a very traditional spirit. "Otherwise, if he loses at that time, it would be bad for him to go to the Holy City to file a complaint."

Therefore, Lord Stettin's mouth must be sealed first with a letter of war. Even if they sue the Holy City, they are justified.

After the letter of war was written eloquently, the lord of Rose sent a guard to deliver it.

Chi Yan also received the gauntlet soon.

The soldier sent by Lord Rose stood cautiously under the stage. He was worried that the other party would get angry and vent his anger on himself, cutting himself off.

But he felt that he didn't have to be afraid, an army of so many people!The other party will definitely be afraid!

Stettin has money, but no matter how rich he is, it doesn't mean he has soldiers.

The guard reassured himself that he would be fine.

In the end, Chi Yan slapped his thigh after reading the letter, and said happily, "Okay! Let him come!"

The guard was dumbfounded.

Chi Yan also added: "Whoever doesn't come is a grandson!"

The author has something to say: Chi Yan: "I'm lucky! I've opened my mouth!"

Lords: "&*...&...%%￥%...&￥"
