Everything in the secret passage was sealed again by Du Wei. But those corpses... bones with a metallic color, Du Wei suppressed his nausea and handed these things to Gargamel.
"You are responsible for cleaning these things...and then we will study them carefully."
After coming out of the secret passage, Gargamel led Duwei to the storage warehouse.
After Gilliat City was transformed into a factory, the main product here is the pure fire element "gunpowder" invented by Solskjaer.
This is something extracted from fire phosphorus as the main raw material. Currently, Du Wei in the city has opened a sealed shed specifically to grow fire phosphorus. Fortunately, this magical plant has tenacious vitality, and in this arid place in the northwest,
It is also particularly suitable for the growth of this plant.
Under Du Wei's instruction, Solskjaer broke down the method of refining fire phosphorus into several different procedures and handed them over to the slaves below. In this way, the output and efficiency were greatly improved, and at the same time, it was broken down into several different procedures.
Different procedural steps also prevent the secrets of production from being revealed, because unless all the procedures are brought together...otherwise, if taken out separately, even these hands-on workers will not know what they are making.
.
The reserve warehouse is buried underground, because the refined gunpowder is dangerous, especially a large amount of high-purity fire element. Although it is sealed in a clay pot, the fire element in this world is more concentrated than the gunpowder Du Wei knew in his previous life.
, is more dangerous. If the reserve is not good, a spark will cause disaster. Therefore, burying it underground to avoid exposure to sunlight is the best choice.
Pushing open the door of the warehouse, the cellar was filled with pottery pots. These dark pottery pots were crudely made, but Du Wei didn't care about that. His expression was very careful and slightly nervous.
If something unexpected happened here and caused a fire... among these tons of gunpowder, even a great magician would be blown up to the point where no bones and slag would be left!
"I made the conductor according to your request." Gargamel opened a box in the corner: "I have tried it many times. The fallen flower vine is the most suitable for use as a conductor. It is naturally dry and easy to catch fire, and it is very stable.
.I have used the cotton thread you mentioned, but that kind of thing is easy to get damp. But this fallen flower vine is different. Even if you throw it into the water, you don’t have to worry."
Gargamel smiled and said: "I can imagine... what would happen if a flower vine was inserted into the mouth of such a clay pot, one end was lit, and it was thrown far into the enemy's camp."
But Gargamel frowned and said: "But, how far can this thing be thrown? Unless it is a strong man... If no one is needed to throw it, what are you going to do? Use a catapult? But the catapult is very unstable. If it is fired,
An accident occurred during the process. Then one of our own people would be killed!"
Du Wei smiled: "Why do you have to throw it? Can't you just throw it from the sky?"
After a pause, he looked at the pots piled almost to the ceiling in the warehouse, and then said: "Now take me to see those... brooms."
The broomstick is currently the most expensive magic equipment produced in the factory in Gilliat City!
Because this invention of the old madman Alec is subversive...but in fact, it still inherits the consistent characteristics of this old madman's invention and is flashy!
To put it simply, every time this guy invents something, it is used as a substitute for a rare substance... but the things he invents are often more expensive and rarer than the original!
Broom, too.
Although this kind of broom can store magic power without any magic crystal... it is already an epoch-making subversive. But the problem lies in the broom itself!
This kind of flying broom cannot be made by just tying up any dead branches! It must be fifty-year-old walnut wood! Everyone knows that walnut wood is an extremely rare tree on the Roland continent... Also
I don't know if it is due to some underlying biological rules. The walnut trees that were common in Du Wei's previous world are extremely rare in this world, and it is also extremely difficult to cultivate.
Walnut wood, especially fifty-year-old walnut wood, is the best material for storing magic power besides magic crystal. Therefore, this kind of thing is usually used to make high-quality wands, even for wealthy magicians.
How many people can afford to equip this kind of pure walnut wand! Because fifty-year-old walnut is so rare!
What's more, the walnut wood used to make broomsticks is not ordinary walnut wood. According to old Alec's invention, he actually creatively used various techniques of synthesis and grafting... Grafting technology was very common in Du Wei's previous life.
, but it is rare in this world.
Alec Lao used grafting and planting techniques to create a mutant variety of walnut trees, and Du Wei happened to get a few seedlings from Alec Alec.
And it is also because of this reason... Set, the magic genius who once talked with Du Wei about cultivating composite walnut trees, no one in the magic union appreciated him, but Du Wei saw his value at a glance!
Because it is impossible for Du Wei to recruit the distinguished Master Alec to specially prepare this mixed variety of mutated walnut trees, then Seth is the only best candidate!
From this point of view, this big-brained genius is hard to find!
The cultivation of this mutant variety gave Seth a headache. The difficulty of survival of the seedlings was a huge problem... Even with the passage of time spring water, every time it was cultivated, there was a nine out of ten chance of death. It can be said that
, the time-lapse spring in Du Wei's hand, Seth is definitely the largest black hole of consumption.
In another storage warehouse, Gargamel eliminated a magic circle outside, carefully opened the door and took Duwei in.
"These things are really made from the spring water of the passage of time! If calculated according to the market price... each broom, just for its own mutated walnut wood, is at least one hundred thousand gold coins! Damn it...
...Why do you have so many flying broomsticks? You might as well get a few more flying cloaks."
Du Wei smiled slightly and said lightly: "The development process of any new technology is always the most expensive... But it's much better now, isn't it?"
Gargamel was silent for a while before agreeing with Du Wei's statement: "Yes, at the beginning, cultivating this mutant plant was the most troublesome, but after many experiments and a lot of wasted spring water, we finally found one
The most delicate balance point, the efficiency will be much higher in the future. It will cost much less to manufacture this thing in the future."
"So, on average, the cost of a flying broomstick is still lower than a flying cloak made of magic crystal." Du Wei sighed.
In the room, the wall is a row of exquisite shelves, and on this shelf are rows of... brooms.
The dark red walnut wood glows faintly in the small room. The handles of each broom are carved extremely beautifully and smoothly, with fine patterns carved on them... These are the patterns of the wind magic array.
"These wind magic arrays are drawings I made by myself. Then they were handed over to a group of carving craftsmen, who carved them step by step on the handles. Don't worry, what those craftsmen got was just a broom handle. No one knows what this thing is.
……broom."
Finally, Gargamel fumbled around for a long time and took out a piece of parchment, which was densely recorded with various data, and handed it to Du Wei.
"This is the final data of the final test of this batch of products. Solskjaer and Seth have both tested it, and the effect is good... It's just that Solskjaer is a fool. His brain is very smart, but in actual operation
His ability was so bad that he almost broke his neck... In fact, this thing is very easy to handle. As long as you know how to ride a horse, you can fly into the sky on this thing."
Du Wei took a look at the final result in his hand.
Du Wei is very satisfied with the development of flying broomsticks. At present, it seems that due to limited materials and the exhaustion of spring water with the passage of time, only fifty broomsticks were produced in the first batch. According to the test flight, each broomstick
The wind magic arrays engraved on it are very efficient. There is a small hexagram pattern on the top of the broom handle. As long as you ride on the broom, hold the hexagram part with your palm, and then inject magic into it.
This will trigger a magic circle.
The current flying broomstick can carry the weight of about two adult men. In terms of speed, the maximum speed is almost twice as fast as a horse. The duration of flight... depends on how long your magic power can last.
"Solskjaer, that loser, can last for just one meal."
that's enough.
Solskjaer's real strength is just a magic apprentice.
"Sir, do you really want to do this?" Standing on top of the city, Knight Robert looked a little ugly.
But Du Wei in front of him had a firm expression and didn't look like he was joking at all.
"But...the injuries on your body..."
"Dear Robert Knight, don't forget, I am a magician." Duwei stretched his body casually: "For a magician, this injury is not difficult to treat. And... I have to go out!"
"This is too dangerous!" Robert still objected strongly: "You are now responsible for everyone's fate. You are our coach and our flag. If you encounter any accident...it is hard for me to imagine the consequences! In fact,
If I had been there when you rode into the camp alone last night, I would have stopped you from doing so at all costs!"
Du Wei sighed and pointed to the city.
The sun has risen high. Under the sunlight, the continuous tents of the prairie people look more clearly. People are shouting horses. If Du Wei uses his eagle eye technique, he can even see the prairie warriors sitting in the camp sharpening their knives!
"My sneak attack last night was effective. I killed a shaman... and their momentum was greatly reduced. But the prairie people's army came for a sneak attack this time and they will never retreat easily. Just watch it and wait for it at the latest.
After lunch, they will regain their strength and come back." Du Wei looked worried: "Robert, you know very well how much wealth we have, and our entire army only adds up to more than 20,000 people...
And most of them are scattered all over the place. Our cavalry only has a total of three thousand! Three thousand people. Do you think that under normal circumstances, we can overwhelm 20,000 prairie wolves? Can we overwhelm these guys who are born on horseback?
We need surprise troops! So, I have to go out... to defeat the enemy."
After a pause, Du Wei smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, I killed their shaman last night. When I go out, I will come and go. The grassland people can't stop me."
Robert said: "Sir, what I am worried about is not that you will be intercepted! What I am worried about is that you will fight in person! As the coach, you should not fight on the front line! This is not the responsibility of the coach! I prefer you to stay in the city
Here, stay in the Governor’s Palace!”
Du Wei did not argue with Robert about this issue anymore. He simply gave an order: "At the latest in the evening, you must light a fire at the top of the city. I want to see the fire and black smoke ten miles away! Remember
Are you ready? In the evening, as long as you light the beacon fire, I guarantee you will receive strong support! And what you have to do is to ensure that the tulip flag is still erected on the city wall before evening!"
After saying that, Du Wei's body floated gently.
Robert sighed. He made a knightly gesture to Du Wei and watched Du Wei fly into the sky and fly away.
Du Wei's calculation was very accurate. When he flew from the city head and passed over the prairie people's camp, many prairie cavalry spotted Du Wei in the sky. However, after last night's sneak attack, the sun on the ground in broad daylight
Next, the prairie people were on guard, and some of the most elite strong archers immediately drew their bows and fired rapidly into the sky. These strong archers on the prairie claimed to be able to shoot down an eagle with one arrow, and their archery skills were so good that even Du
Weidu couldn't help but gain altitude. He quickly flew over.
He exhausted his magic power last night. After the magic power in the multicolored stone ring is exhausted, it cannot be replenished in such a short time. The magic power he has recovered at this moment is only 50-60% of his own. He is really unable to launch a large-scale attack again.
The thunder summoned.
Towards the opposite direction of the city, Du Wei walked away.
"What did the Tulip Duke do?"
The Golden Wolf Head Guard stood under his tent, watching Du Wei go away with a gloomy expression. This extremely tall giant stood on the ground and was more than two heads taller than his companions.
"General Guard, maybe he has escaped." A prairie man sneered: "There are not many people in the city. Sooner or later we will be able to break through the city wall."
"Idiot." The Golden Wolf head guard general curled his lips, and a trace of determination flashed in Yinlu's eyes: "He must be going to move reinforcements! Humph... Send four centurions to search the rear and step up vigilance. And...
... Let the warriors prepare immediately. Before dark, the city gate must be breached today!! No matter what, the shaman has died in our army... We have lost a noble shaman. Think about it.
, what kind of punishment will we get when we go back? Only by taking this city at all costs can we have a chance to ask the king for mercy! "
The trumpet sounded, and the prairie warriors heard the order and lined up to fight! Under the sun, Robert Knight, standing at the top of the city, looked at the densely packed ant-like prairie people below the city. The scimitars, one after another, were shining in the sunshine.
Under the irradiation, there is a dazzling cold light!
"Hold on until evening!" Robert suddenly pulled out his long sword, slashed it down on the battlement in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Hold on until the end!!"
The soldiers and lieutenants around them all drew their swords, and everyone shouted at the same time: "Long live Tulip!! People are in the city!!"
Du Wei flew seven or eight miles in the direction he came from, then lowered his altitude and carefully searched for his team.
Finally, beside a low and loose forest, someone saw Du Wei in the sky. He immediately ran out and waved his hands vigorously towards Du Wei in the sky. Du Wei lowered his height and saw clearly that it was a magic student.
Captain Sieg.
The eight hundred people brought by Du Wei were hiding in this forest. They listened to Du Wei's order and retreated all the way here to prevent being discovered by the prairie people's wolf cavalry scouts.
Du Wei fell to the ground. Sieg saw that Du Wei was intact, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Dean! It's great to see you safe! But you didn't ask us to wait here for Gilliat City.
Is there a flame signal from the direction? Why did you come in person?"
Duwei patted Sieg on the shoulder: "There's no time to explain!"
With that said, Du Wei followed him into the woods.
In the woods, the Tulip family's cavalry dismounted and sat on the ground, but everyone was on good alert. Some people climbed up the trees and observed the distance. Although the woods were relatively sparse, there were thousands of people hiding there.
,enough.
Du Wei saw Gaida, a little 250-year-old boy with a dirty look on his face. When he saw Du Wei, he immediately rushed towards him, hugged Du Wei and shouted loudly: "Sir! Sir! It's great that you are here!"
Damn it! I really wanted to kill these guys just now! How dare I let you enter the city alone! This is too risky!!"
Next to him was Al Qaeda's deputy general. When Al Qaeda was ordered to move reinforcements, this deputy general was responsible for leading the team. However, looking at his appearance, there was blood on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that Al Qaeda had given him a severe lesson.
"Okay al-Qaeda! I want to go in on my own, it has nothing to do with them." Du Wei smiled: "Your subordinates are all excellent warriors. They have merit and demerits. And...it's not that I have gained nothing, I killed them
Got a shaman.”
After saying that, Du Wei immediately asked: "What about you? When did you arrive? Have you brought all our people?"
"No, sir." Gaida looked ashamed: "I only found the 800 people led by Lord Alpha... I didn't find the other two teams, General Longbottom and the others... The time is too tight, I can't
Run further, and...you asked me to get here today. So..."
Gaida suddenly knelt down on one knee: "I didn't fulfill your order, please punish me!"
Du Wei shook his head: "I didn't consider the actual situation when I gave the order. It's already very rare for you to bring back a team of people. Alpha Knight?"
When Du Wei looked around for Alpha's head guard, he didn't find Alpha.
"He...heard that you entered the city alone, and was furious. He left the large army alone and went to the front to find out the news."
Du Wei thought, Uncle Alpha... He was indeed worried about himself. But with Alpha's strength, it shouldn't be dangerous to inquire about the information.
Time was running out, and just as Du Wei was about to say something, Gaida suddenly whispered: "Sir... Although I didn't find the other two teams, I brought some... guests."
"guest?"
Gaida winked, and Du Wei immediately looked deeper into the forest. Sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers wearing different armors. These were also cavalry, but unlike the armors of the Tulip family's army, these people were wearing the Empire's armors.
The armor of the local garrison also has a pattern of thorns embroidered on the chest.
In fact, Du Wei's army is just the family's private army, and these people are the real imperial officers and soldiers.
"What's going on?" Du Wei was a little surprised, because there seemed to be a lot of these guys, roughly as many as five or six hundred.
"They are the team under Governor Bohan of Nulin Province." Gaida replied in a low voice.
