Ruolin told her story about seeing the fleet at Enke Port Pier. After hearing this, Du Wei's face seemed calm. He just nodded and said lightly: "I understand."
After a pause, he seemed as if nothing had happened, and suddenly changed the subject: "Ruolin, let's put the goods in the Enke Port warehouse there for now. The summer festival is coming soon, and there are many people in the imperial capital smashing them.
, after all, we haven’t received the legal approval yet, and if something happens, the family’s face will not look good. Just send more people to Enke Port to watch.”
Ruolin heard something unusual in Du Wei's words, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean... is it possible that there will be some instability in the imperial capital during the summer festival?"
Du Wei smiled: "I didn't say it. You don't have to make wild guesses. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with us. You just need to take good care of those pirates. The imperial capital will be stricter in interrogations recently, and those guys can
It’s better not to cause any trouble. You don’t have to live in the imperial capital. I’ll go back to Enke Port and stay there. If anything happens, I will send someone to find you.”
Ruolin couldn't ask any more questions, so she had to bow down.
After Ruolin left, a trace of gloom appeared on Du Wei's calm face, worry flashed in his eyes, and he sighed softly: "Hey... the fleet... my father is really restless.
Ah, are you planning to do some tricks on the summer festival day?"
The fleet was definitely carrying no ordinary cargo, and there were soldiers escorting it... To enter and exit the imperial capital so easily, except for military leaders like my father, I am afraid that no one else could mobilize the city guards.
So, in this case, are you going to take action against Prince Chen?
Du Wei suddenly remembered Prince Chen's gentle smile and friendly attitude towards him. He couldn't help but feel sad, should he... tell Prince Chen? Then Du Wei remembered his mother's plea, he sighed and shook his head,
He whispered to himself: "I'm sorry, Prince Chen, the family has important responsibilities, and you and I are enemies rather than friends. I can't help you with this."
Du Wei sat in the room for a while and read the magic potion formula, and drank a pot of fine tea shipped from the south. In the evening, he suddenly heard a thunder-like sound coming from behind!
boom!
In an instant, even the small building where Du Wei was located shook faintly a few times. Then he saw the door of a room downstairs being kicked open, and then thick smoke billowed out from inside.
, the mouse Gargamel coughed violently and ran out of it as if running for his life.
"Cough cough cough... almost choked me to death..." It rushed into Du Wei's room in one breath. Without saying a word, it grabbed the teapot on the table and poured it into its mouth. Then it grew longer.
He let out a sigh, and his face was covered with black and white patches of soot. His eyes were also burned red by the smoke, and even a few of his beards were burnt.
Du Wei frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"Forget it! I finally figured out the Bow of Annihilation. I tried to use a piece of magic crystal to figure out the magic circle inside. It caused an explosion! Good guy, there must be something unusual about this bow.
I have already placed two layers of barriers in the room, and they were instantly blown away! But it’s a good thing that these two layers of barriers were there, otherwise, I’m afraid your building wouldn’t even be able to be saved.”
Du Wei stood up with a smile, walked outside the yard first, and pushed away the guards of the Luo Lin family who came after hearing the sound. He only said that he was conducting magic experiments. Everyone in the Luo Lin family knew that this young master was now a magician.
Du Wei explained that it was not surprising, but when he left, everyone looked at Du Wei with awe.
After driving away many guards, Duwei asked Mader to come and look at the entrance of the courtyard, and asked Gargamel to set up a magic circle around his residence, and then the two of them got into the laboratory downstairs.
The thick smoke in the room was almost released, and Du Wei cast another small wind magic. After the thick smoke was blown away, on the table in the middle of the room, the bird that Du Wei snatched back
The "Bow of Silence" lay quietly on the platform.
Du Wei's platform was made of stone. He didn't have the money to spend a lot of money to build a metal and mithril test bench like the old madman Alec did. Du Wei looked at the bow carefully and immediately felt something different!
On the Bow of Annihilation, there was a faint glow surrounding it, which enveloped the bow. The violent explosion just now did not even damage the bow. When the smoke dissipated, the bow
It still looks so brand new and bright, without even a trace of smoke. The whole bow seems to be faintly flowing with strange brilliance. The streamlined bow looks like the crescent moon in the night sky. The bow corners on both sides are shaped like a
It is polished out of strange transparent crystals, and there are two large curved barbs hanging on it. On the barbs, sharp edges are polished!
Obviously, such a special shape allows the owner of the Bow of Annihilation to not only use the bow to hurt people from a distance during combat, but also in close combat, the sharp edges on both sides of the bow can also become
A weapon for close combat!
And Gargamel probably tested the hardness of this blade, using the chest plate of a good knight's steel armor. This blade can easily cut a hole, and with a hard poke, the sharp thrust on the bow corner can cut it.
The steel armor poked a hole!
"The material of this thing is very simple. I can only guess that it is made of some kind of high-quality crystal that has been specially processed, and maybe some synthetic materials. As for what kind of crystal it is, I can't tell.
Now." Gargamel pointed at the Bow of Annihilation. The mouse, which had been studying this thing for a day and night, was obviously very excited: "This shape is different from all the existing bows on the mainland. No archer can be good at close range.
You can fight personally, and this bow is an exception... However, I guess that if you want to fully use this bow, you should have a set of special martial arts matching this bow."
The special martial arts that go with this bow... Du Wei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. The guy who died under my hand seemed to be very powerful, but he probably didn't know what you're talking about.
That set of martial arts, if there is one, must be extremely powerful. Then he will not be killed by me when he is up close."
"The guy who robbed the bow from you is definitely not the original real owner of this bow." Gargamel curled his lips: "I don't know the material of this crystal stone, but judging from the year, I'm afraid it must be at least a few years old.
It’s been a hundred years!”
Then, Gargamel held the Bow of Annihilation in both hands and handed it to Du Wei: "Look, do you see these patterns on it? This is a strange magic circle. Even I can't understand this magic circle. But.
What is certain is that this is mainly wind magic, supplemented by some blessing magic such as strength, agility and speed... It can fuse several magics together to create such a complex magic array, and it can also
To be able to make it so small... well, the owner who made this bow is at least a grand master level figure in magic!"
Du Wei didn't care much about any of this: "What I want to know is, how to use it?"
Speaking of this issue, Gargamel suddenly burst out laughing. The rat prime minister laughed with an extremely obscene and proud smile. He could not conceal his complacency in his voice and grinned: "This is the real most mysterious place! I tell you.
Come on. Little Duwei, you really made a profit this time! The power of this thing is absolutely powerful! And it is far beyond your imagination!"
After saying that, it flicked the bow string lightly and said: "So the poor ghost who took the bow from you was a samurai, right? This bow can be used by samurai to activate it with fighting spirit. After all, it has magic on it.
With blessing, after being activated with Dou Qi, Dou Qi can be condensed into Qi arrows. The speed, accuracy, and power of the launch are several times stronger than the best ordinary bows. From this point of view, it can be regarded as a powerful arrow.
It’s a rare high-grade treasure bow on the mainland! But actually, I think the original unlucky owner of this bow didn’t know how to really use this thing at all! Hum…”
As it spoke, it suddenly stretched out its hand and gently fiddled with the arrow slot of the bow. Then the mouse slowly injected a bit of magic power, and the bow immediately flashed with bright colors! A slight click was heard.
, a small crack suddenly appeared in the arrow slot. Then a magic crystal rolled out from inside!
"Let me announce the true identity of this magical bow!" The mouse laughed loudly: "This bow is actually not for warriors at all! It is a magic bow! It was specially made for magicians.
Use land!”
"...Magician?"
Du Wei was really surprised.
A magician's bow?
Do magicians need to use bows and arrows? When magicians on the mainland are fighting, who is not holding a wand, chanting spells profoundly, and casting powerful magic to hurt the enemy?
The use of bows and arrows is a standard patent of the samurai system!
If magicians need to use bows and arrows to fight enemies, will it develop into magicians using long swords and broadswords in the future?
"Don't doubt it, this is indeed a bow specially made for magicians!" Gargamel saw Du Wei's suspicion and said solemnly: "You are just lucky, little Du Wei! Fortunately, no one knows about this bow.
If its details were known, it would trigger so many people to break their heads to grab it!"
After saying that, Gargamel gently picked up the magic crystal that rolled down from the bow. This was a high-quality magic crystal, but I don’t know how many years have passed. The color has faded, and the magic power inside has obviously been consumed.
It has been completely exhausted, and the passage of time has also caused this crystal to be covered with fine cracks, and there are even places where it has deteriorated, revealing a hint of gray-black color.
Gargamel held the crystal, closed his eyes, and a trace of magic power was slowly injected into the crystal. After the magic crystal was injected with magic power, the originally dim crystal regained its luster!
Gargamel re-embedded the magic-infused crystal into the groove of the bow's arrow slot, and then after a gentle wave of magic, the groove disappeared immediately, and the surface of the bow looked extremely smooth, with no gaps at all.
"Take it!" Gargamel handed the bow to Duwei again and said with a smile, "Let's go to the top of the building and you can try this new toy."
One person and one mouse immediately moved across the stairs, and Du Wei arrived at the roof of the small building where he lived alone.
Standing on the roof of a three-story building, Du Wei held a bow in both hands and looked up at the sky. The sun was setting in the distance, and a faint golden afterglow fell on the earth. Du Wei looked at the setting sun. He silently pulled out the bowstring, only to feel the tentacles.
It was very flexible, and with one pull, although it was a bit difficult, it finally opened. As the bow string was pulled open, magic waves that shocked Du Wei immediately appeared on the entire bow! The strong vibrations gathered more and more, and finally
Faintly condensed into a point...
Du Wei clearly saw that above the arrow trough, a wind blade formed by the wind magic condensed from the bow itself was forming. Then the wind blade seemed to shrink smaller and smaller, and finally condensed into a small arrow.
Same shape...
As soon as Du Wei loosened the bowstring, he heard a whirring sound...
Is this an arrow?
No! This is clearly a meteor!
This meteor whizzed out from Du Wei's hand, whizzing away in the direction of the distant sunset! It was as fast as thunder! The brilliant magic radiance sprinkled a little light dust in the air! Just like that!
In such an instant, the meteor disappeared within the reach of Du Wei's sight!
Du Wei was stunned! Looking at the direction in which the meteor disappeared in the distance, although he couldn't see where it hit, how powerful it was, but just based on this scene, the power must be huge!
Such power. It was more than twice as powerful as when I saw that guy use this bow to kill a court magician and wound the court warrior Chike two nights ago!
What's more important is that he has no fighting spirit and is only slightly stronger than ordinary people in terms of martial arts... yet he can fire such a terrifying arrow!
"Sure enough... so strong!" Gargamel stood on tiptoe and looked into the direction of the setting sun. Watching the shooting stars go away, a flash of emotion suddenly flashed in the eyes of the mouse: "If this kind of bow can be popularized, then all the people in the world will be good at shooting.
Earth warriors will all be replaced by magicians!"
Du Wei suppressed the shock in his heart. He slowly sat down and stroked the bow of annihilation back and forth with his hands!
Magic weapons! Real magic ranged weapons!
It is a long-range attack weapon that does not require any strength from the user and is completely powered by magic power!!
"Little Duwei, have you guessed it?" Gargamel's eyes flashed: "Look...if this bow is enlarged dozens of times and the shape is slightly changed...wouldn't it be the same as that made on the walls of the Imperial City?
The craftsmanship has been completely lost..."
"Magic cannon!" Du Wei replied steadily. There seemed to be no vibration in his voice, but his eyes were extremely strange: "If this thing were magnified dozens of times, it would be almost equal to a magic cannon! Or rather
...The manufacturing principle of this thing is exactly the same as the magic cannon!"
There was another episode that Du Wei didn't know about at the time:
Just after Du Wei tested the Bow of Annihilation for the first time, on the same day, the garrison of a small town five miles away from the Imperial City reported an official document:
In the summer of the 960th year of the Imperial Calendar, on the evening of June 10th, a meteorite fell from the southeastern sky, with a bright red light and a sound like thunder. The peak on the west side of the town was hit by the meteorite and collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured. But the road was damaged.
The mountain debris is blocked, please send repairs quickly...
No one knows the truth about this matter. Not even Du Wei himself knows that the power of this arrow is so powerful!
The day before the summer festival day.
Mu De went out early in the morning. He was given a "good job" by Master Duwei in the past two days. He was asked to bring enough gold coins with him every day and wander around the streets. He was left everywhere in pubs, hotels, and square hotels.
Uncle Ma De's footprints will be gathered wherever there are many people. Master Du Wei's explanation is very simple: "You just go out on the street to eat, drink and have fun. You can spend as much as you want, and you can pay all the bills when you come back. But there is one thing. Recently,
If there is any interesting, lively, weird news happening in the imperial capital, or anything different from the past, you should read it carefully and remember it one by one, and tell me about it when you come back."
Such a strange order, Mader didn't say anything, just took the money bag and went shopping.
The day before the summer festival, several bustling streets in the imperial capital were crowded with people. Countless shops opened their doors for business. Merchants traveling from north to south displayed the most bizarre things brought from all over the mainland. You know
The Summer Festival is a grand annual festival on the Roland continent, and in the imperial capital, there are military parades by the city guards and imperial guards, as well as grand citizen parades and celebrations. Especially this year, I heard that on the eve of the National Day
, the court astrologer divined the horoscope. It was said that an unlucky broom star appeared. His Majesty the Emperor was furious and chopped off the unlucky astrologer with a knife. In order to deal with this unhappy matter, His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered that this year's summer festival be updated.
Be extravagant and try to use this celebration and joy to sweep away the gloom brought by the broom star!
With such a lively event, tourists from all over the world flocked to the Imperial Capital. For a time, the bustling Imperial Capital was overcrowded. All hotels were fully booked, especially those near the central square of the Imperial Capital, and the prices were ten times higher than usual.
Times, the guest rooms are in short supply. It is said that this year, His Majesty the Pope has been specially invited to perform magic in the square, and the chairman of the magic union will also come with those mysterious magicians.
More importantly, His Majesty has given a special order. On the day of the festival, the magic circle in the imperial capital will be opened! That thousand-year-old magic circle left over from the era of His Majesty Aragon! The last time the magic circle was opened was twenty years ago in the northwest grasslands.
At the end of the alien war, a magic circle was opened in order to welcome the victorious expeditionary army. Citizens who had experienced that scene deeply remember the majestic and spectacular scene when the magic circle was opened! The brilliant magic light illuminated the entire
The imperial capital is shrouded in it. The sky changes into seven colors! You can even vaguely see all kinds of strange monsters flying in the sky! There are thousands of illusions, confusing the human eye!
I'm afraid you may not be able to catch this kind of excitement once in your life. Wouldn't it be a pity if you missed it?!
Therefore, during this year's summer festival, the number of foreign tourists in the Imperial Capital was several times greater than in previous years, which kept the people of the Imperial Capital Security Office busy. The patrol team of the Public Security Office patrolled the streets every day.
The number increased threefold, and when there were more people, dragons and snakes mixed together, which often caused many public security incidents. Fights, thefts and robberies occurred one after another. The jails in the security station were almost full. The soldiers in the security station complained one by one, and all the people in the security station complained.
Because of the large number of people, all vacations have been cancelled, and they are on duty all day, and even sleep in the barracks of the security station. Many people, even some officers, have not gone home to hug their wives for several days.
The city guards are said to be extremely tired. There have been so many people entering and exiting the imperial capital in the past few days. The number of city guards checking at several city gates has tripled. And just the day before yesterday, in order to reduce the pressure on the imperial capital, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor,
, coupled with the order jointly issued by the General Headquarters and the Government Affairs Office, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the entry and exit of the imperial capital city gate. You can leave the city, but if you want to enter the imperial capital, you can only queue up. Enter with odd numbers, and refuse with even numbers! Enter the imperial capital.
Everyone in the country must go through strict and detailed registration!
At several city gates, additional brigades of heavily armed Guards soldiers have been deployed. If a riot occurs, they can immediately suppress it on the spot.
Moreover, because the imperial capital was overcrowded, in order to ensure the safety of the nobles and prevent some outsiders from wandering into the noble residences and causing security problems, the Guards specially sent an infantry regiment to guard the area leading to the nobles' mansions near the imperial city.
The "rich areas" and even the temples are temporarily under martial law... After all, there are many believers on the mainland. All believers who come to the imperial capital do not want to go to the sacred temple to see the statue of the great god and listen to the temple's teachings.
True gospel, in this way, in order to ensure the order of the temple, a lot of additional troops were deployed in the streets near the temple to maintain order.
Only the area near the Magic Guild is as quiet as ever. After all, magicians are awe-inspiring in people's hearts, and no one would want to go near the Magic Guild to see what a magician looks like!
Mader ran around outside for several days, during which time a thief even stole a wallet, and two pairs of shoes were trampled off by crowded pedestrians while wandering around. After finally reporting all the news to Du Wei, the young master unexpectedly
There didn't seem to be any expression of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but he just said lightly: "I know, you can pay for the expenses for the past few days and withdraw the gold coins yourself."
After Mader left, Du Wei tapped his forehead and sat quietly for a moment. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Well, troops have been sent to the city gate... Troops have been sent to the residences of noble families, and arrangements have been made near the temple.
The army...it really looks like it's going to be a big fight!"
