Edward stood in front of Jeff with an innocent look on his face, not saying a word, just staring at the weapons placed on the ground.
If they hadn't known that this was Newton's prisoner and almost killed Jeff, then no one would have believed that such a quiet and gloomy man could be a peerless master, a fierce peerless master.
After Jeff asked Galileo and Newton to take everyone away, he smiled at Edward and said, "Mr. Edward, you should be very interested in the things on the ground? In fact, you can pick it up and take a look. It's not something strange. There is no need to be afraid.
broke them”
Edward snorted coldly, then bent over and picked up the gun from the ground. After playing with it for a while, he asked doubtfully: "It's a machine like this, but it's just exquisitely made. Do you want me to see such garbage?"
Is that all?”
Jeff didn't refute, he just picked up another gun from the ground, then reloaded it skillfully and fired.
After seeing the bullet holes at close range and touching the bullet holes with his own hands, Edward felt the residual heat on the bullet holes and the true power of this humble weapon. Then he raised his head and asked Jeff: "Humph, are you?
Do you want to threaten me? Although such a weapon is powerful, at least it is not scary to people like me!"
Jeff hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Edward, I think you misunderstood me. If you really want to leave, I am afraid that the power of my entire territory will not be able to stop you. But you stayed as a prisoner because of the dignity of the strong.
, I naturally have to respect you too, you see the people in my territory don’t give you any trouble, right?”
Edward nodded and replied: "Indeed, your people are very good to me and Sophie."
Jeff continued: "Actually, Mr. Edward, you don't have to be on guard all the time. I think you also know that there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies. Now we have no interest entanglements, so we are not enemies at the moment."
"
Edward was a little nervous. Although he was not afraid of Jeff, he was afraid that Sophie would be harmed. In his eyes, human beings are basically treacherous and untrustworthy. He thought that he wanted Jeff's life at the beginning, but now Jeff is so polite.
This made him have to be wary of Jeff
"I almost killed you, don't you hate me and don't want revenge?" Edward asked, staring straight at Jeff.
Jeff shrugged and replied in a cold voice: "Why don't you want to? If it weren't for Sophie, I would have asked Holly to kill you! After all, not everyone has the courage to cut off someone who can be killed at any time.
Keep people with your own head around you, even me."
Edward was stunned and asked: "If that's the case, then why did you leave me behind and didn't seem to be on guard against me?"
Jeff didn't hide anything and said directly: "Did you see the flame on my forehead? This is something left by Holly. If you want to kill me, with it, I can naturally communicate with Holly and let him do it directly."
Kill you, but the more important thing is another point, because I don't see a trace of murderousness and vigor in your eyes. To be precise, as long as I don't keep humiliating you or want to kill you, you will definitely not touch me?
"
Edward lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "You have enough background and wisdom, so it is not difficult to talk to you. Let me just say it straight, I have lost confidence since the failure to summon the Lord.
I have also given up my original idea. Now my only purpose is to make Sophie happy. As you can see, Sophie is living a good life now. As long as I can protect her, that is enough."
After hearing what Edward said, Jeff couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Edward raised his head and asked: "Why are you sighing? It's not like your character."
Jeff asked back: "We have only known each other for a few days, how do you know my personality?"
Edward rarely laughed a few times. Although his voice was slightly hoarse, it was not as gloomy as before. After he finished laughing, he stared at Jeff and asked: "The person who knows a person best is his enemy, not his friend.
, isn’t it?”
Jeff obviously didn't expect Edward to have such a side, or maybe it was Edward's nature that was revealed occasionally.
"Mr. Edward, I'll just tell you that I want to make a deal with you."
Edward smiled and said: "Say, as long as you can give me a suitable price, maybe I will consider accepting this deal."
Jeff picked up a projectile, crushed the solid projectile into pieces with a squeeze of his hand, then sprinkled the ammunition inside into Edward's hand, and asked, "What do you think of the power of these ammunition?"
After sniffing for a while, Edward said disdainfully: "Although the explosive power of such ammunition is acceptable, if I prepare it, I can increase its power by at least ten times!"
After listening to Edward's words, Jeff's eyes immediately lit up. He was basically satisfied with the power of the current ammunition. He didn't expect that the power could be amplified ten times. This is really amazing. Edward is a tenth-level alchemist. Since he
If it can be increased ten times, then it can naturally be increased ten times. This power can already catch up with the power of high explosives on the earth. In this world, if enough explosives are detonated at the same time, the power can definitely compete with the forbidden curse in this magical world.
, only level nine mages and above can activate forbidden spells, and they have to pay a huge price for it, but there are only a handful of level nine mages in the entire Western Continent. However, high explosives are different, because of the cost of explosives.
It is cheap and can be mass-produced, which means that it can produce forbidden curse-level explosions in batches. If guns and bombs are used in war, it will be a nightmare for soldiers throughout the Western Continent!
Now that he understands the importance of Edward to him, Jeff will naturally not be stingy. He can treat the goblins who can participate in the production of weapons as a corporal and give them super good treatment, not to mention the chemists from this other world.
It is foreseeable that if Edward can be collected into his account, then in the near future, mechanical weapons will appear on the stage of history, and the era of mechanical civilization may not be far away.
After thinking about it, Jeff immediately smiled and said: "As an enemy of the Holy See, I think the first thing Mr. Edward wants is a stable environment. As the Marquis of the Rennes Empire, I can naturally give you and Miss Sophie a suitable identity.
From now on, the Alchemist Edward will never appear in this world again. Of course, this is not an escape, but the best way to protect you. Our Renian Empire is also a mortal enemy of the Holy See. Maybe if there is a war with the Holy See in the future, Edward
Sir, you might be able to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to take revenge. Of course, these are certainly not enough to impress you. As a partner, you will be one of the most noble people in my territory forever."
Edward shook his head and said: "The Ren Empire is the mortal enemy of the Holy See, so you won't have any pressure to take me in. And I believe there won't be too many masters like me who have reached level 10 in the entire continent. I guess I can go to any big family."
The least they can do is give me this kind of treatment, do you think what you give me is enough to attract me?"
Jeff then smiled and said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. You should know that I am now a god. God makes me believe that apart from the so-called God of Light, this may be the only one who has contact with this world.
Although the god cannot directly create humans, if I ask him to create a body for Sophie..."
When Jeff said this, Edward's breathing immediately became thicker. You can imagine how excited he was at this time, but his reason made him calm down again and continued to listen to what Jeff said.
"Of course, I can't guarantee that Holly can definitely create a body for Sophie, but I want to tell you that the archdruid of the elves is also my best friend now. If you can rescue the Elf Queen with me, then the Queen
If you contact the goddess of life, I believe there will be more opportunities to create a body for Sophie. In addition, I found that Sophie seems to be having a lot of fun with my sisters. I don’t think you want her to do it because of you.
Lost your best friend?"
Edward couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, I have to admit that the price you offered is too tempting. I think anyone with some brains will not be able to refuse your price. Okay, Jeff, this price is
The deal is done!”
Jeff was ecstatic in his heart. He didn't expect to win over a peerless strong man from the Western Continent with a blank check. Calculating his apparent strength and secret strength, he was actually capable enough to get rid of Edward. What he said just now was actually...
He vaguely hinted to Edward: Although you are strong, I am not afraid. Jeff repeatedly pointed out the current situation of Edward's opposition to the Holy See, also to make Edward think about Sophie's safety. Finally, Jeff threw out another one that Edward would never refuse.
The bargaining chip is to shape Sophie's body. Of course, Edward may not believe it, but after so much experience, even if there is only a chance, he will not let it go. Combining all the above factors, Jeff finally impressed the indifferent Edward and succeeded.
Winning the number one alchemist in the Western Continent into his tent
When Jeff was secretly complacent, he had no idea that he had inadvertently changed the future of the entire Western Continent. A civilization era of science and machinery was about to be created by Jeff, Goblin and Edward.
Finally, Jeff couldn't help but said: "Mr. Edward, please make yourself a fake body like Sophie. Your current appearance can really scare the dead..."
