46 Delve into everything
"Rumble"
Recently, strange "thunder" sounds can often be heard in the city of Constantine. At first, bored idlers spread rumors about "the god of thunder is coming", "the gods are punishing those who do not worship the gods", and "there is a monster coming from the mountains".
There were rumors such as "the farting rock giant" and "the golem in the devil's ruins has been activated", but after a long time, everyone became accustomed to it, and fewer people cared about this strange sound.
Occasionally, some drunk blacksmiths would tell others that this was vampire hunters testing a new type of weapon. Others would mostly laugh at this statement and confuse this statement with rumors such as "the golem has been activated".
But this is the truth about "Thunder".
At this moment, in the mountains south of Constantine, a group of hunters are testing the "Experimental Type 4 Artillery".
This kind of artillery is actually just a scale and a simple sighting system added to the "Experimental Type II Artillery", and it is still the most primitive front-loading smoothbore gun.
But even this most backward cannon is sought after by a small group of hunters. After all, the power of the cannon can already match the level three fire magic.
Some people even began to advocate the "theory that silver swords are useless" and became the first batch of believers of the "Cannon God Cult".
There are also a small number of hunters who are not good at swordsmanship or archery, but are born with the talent of cannon. They are the gunners that the guild currently focuses on training.
Eveli is one of them.
In fact, she has good attainments in swordsmanship and holy magic, but compared to her amazing talent in sex, it can only be regarded as childish.
She didn't have any knowledge of ballistics before, but she was very good at calculating the firing angle of the cannon and predicting the impact point of the cannonball, as if she could see the trajectory of the cannonball.
Now, the "Experimental Four Type Artillery" has just been assembled and has only fired one test shot. After Eveli observed the impact point of the cannonball, she directed the hunters to adjust the shooting angle and aim at the hilltop four hundred meters away.
This was the maximum range that this smoothbore cannon could theoretically achieve, but Eveli lit the fuse with confidence.
"Ah! Perfect hit!"
Lianka used the [Distant Viewing Technique] and saw the target on the hilltop in the distance being shattered by a cannon.
After she finished speaking, the manticore "Chocolate" poked his head out of her arms. This little guy had just hid in Lenka's arms because he was afraid of the sound of gunfire.
Although Chocolate has only been raised by hunters for less than a month, it is already longer than an adult domestic cat. It is already very difficult to get into Lenka's arms.
After finishing the sex, Eveli gently took out the chocolate, and then lovingly pressed her cheek against the cub's furry belly.
Chocolate didn't like this, so he raised his hind legs and kicked Eveli.
In the eyes of other hunters, this move is very scary, because even young manticores have extremely poisonous claws.
However, Chocolate is very understanding of human nature and knows not to show his claws when fighting with the third owner, so this cat kick does no harm.
After kicking Eveli away, it spread its small wings on its back and flew onto Lenka's shoulder.
Eveli continued to move closer and scratched Chocolate's chin with her hands. This time the little manticore did not resist, but allowed the female hunter to do it.
"I wonder what Vanilla and Kain are doing." Lenka tilted her head and rubbed the chocolate, then said.
"That's right. Kain hasn't come over recently to test the cannon."
Since the discovery of Eveli, an excellent gunner, Kain's visits to test the cannon in person have become less and less frequent.
At this moment, in the "Skin of Stigmata" guild, Vanilla, who had just woken up, found that both Chocolate and the owner were not around.
It yawned, then licked its front paws a few times before standing up lazily.
It was actually a little hungry, but it still maintained an elegant posture and slowly walked out of the owner's room.
"Ah, it's Vanilla." Several hunters in the corridor saw this beautiful manticore. They made strange noises to tease it, but Vanilla ignored them arrogantly.
After passing through a small door specially reserved for it and chocolate, Vanilla entered Kain's room.
The second owner, who exuded strong coercion, was sitting at the table busy with something, and Xiang Zilan stood at the door and called softly.
The owner turned his head and saw it, then came up and touched its head, then put a plate of milk in front of it.
Vanilla obediently licked a few mouthfuls of milk and smacked her lips with satisfaction. Although her stomach was not full yet, she was a little curious about what her owner was doing.
It wanted to spread its wings and fly up to the table, but Chocolate, who had done this before, was scolded, so Vanilla did not follow in the footsteps of her sisters.
It came to Jiang Xiaotan's feet, jumped lightly onto the corner of the chair, then stepped on the owner's thigh and climbed onto the edge of the table.
Then it saw a small clay doll on the table, and the owner was trying to put a magic stone on the chest of the clay doll.
For some reason, Vanilla developed an inexplicable hatred for this kind of thing. It gave a disdainful "meow", then jumped off the chair and continued to drink its own milk.
What Jiang Xiaotan was playing with was a small-scale golem that he had tried out.
After escaping death from the golem that time, he became interested in this powerful killing puppet.
However, he searched every corner of the "ancient documents" and could not find any books on how to make golems.
Later, he found the store manager, who dug out a book called "Puppetry, Puppetry and Golems" from an old bookcase and gave it to him.
However, this is not a textbook, but a semi-biography.
"The method of making golem puppets is only mastered by the Zhu Ye Empire. The vampires guard this secret very closely. Only this book has relevant descriptions. There are rumors that the wizards in the Western Continent used this to create golems."
Although the store manager said so, the part about how to make a golem in this book is vague. Trying to learn how to make a golem from this is tantamount to following "Avatar and the Philosopher's Stone" to learn "Avatar Chews."
melon".
But the only book in Constantine was "Puppetry, Puppetry and Golems", so Jiang Xiaotan could only read it first and skip the love-hate plot between the protagonist and more than a dozen heroines.
, from those detailed descriptions that make people's blood boil, pick out the parts related to the production of the golem.
Not only that, but the author's intention...no, literary creation part has to be eliminated from the already pitiful information.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaotan now has a preliminary understanding of the magic system in this world, and can distinguish between which kind of information is useful information that conforms to the principles of magic, and which kind is purely literary creation.
