Chapter 252 Devil Merchant
With the tingling and beating, the first human cannon was finished. Feiqi placed his hand on the brass cannon and slowly input mana into it.
The connection lines between runes glow slightly, and the magic fluctuations slowly increase. Runes attract each other, making the cannon itself a more tight and tight whole. When the last rune is successfully lit up, Feiqi knew that in terms of engineering and manufacturing, there is at least no problem with the cannons on earth.
"Find a place to try!"
Let the fire dwarf drag the cannon, Feiqi came to the battlefield, which was empty and suitable for experimentation. There was no trace of the battle that happened here a while ago. The corpse was cleaned up. Even if there were any remaining damaged fragments, they were either eaten up by maggots in hell or burned by fireballs falling from the sky. Only a faint smell of blood was still wandering around, but most of the time they were suppressed under the burnt smell of hell.
The sheepskin scroll of Frozen Core is stuffed into the slot on one side of the cannon, and the fire element crystal is placed on the other side. Although it is the effect of creating ice, Frozen Core is actually Fire element magic. Kazmuk said he could not understand at all, but as long as he didn't ask, Fitz would not take the initiative to explain to him.
Feichi hopes that Kazmuk can speak out on his own initiative, so that he has more hope to turn the Fire Dwarf into a subordinate and friend, rather than just a soul contract slave. This guy deserves to have survived in hell for more than a hundred years, and is very cautious everywhere. However, this kind of caution, caution, the other side is actually obeying the powerful order of hell and losing part of his flexibility. Isn’t it also assimilated by hell?
"You can control it and feel the mana consumption. No need to aim, just fire a shot." Feiqi stood aside with his arms in his arms, handing over the opportunity to fire the frozen spell to the dwarf in the fire elemental plane. Kazmuk was of course a little trembling. His hands could touch the magma, but he would still tremble in front of the ice.
Fortunately, there was no problem with Feiqi's spells and runes design and the cannon manufacturing work. A ball of blue energy flew out smoothly from the muzzle, which increased while freezing, and flew into the distance in a parabola. Since the launch angle was not calculated in advance and the duration of the environmental shell was endured, the "cannonball" did not explode until it fell to the ground, becoming an ice hockey, and it also bounced and rolled for more than ten meters on the ground.
Accompanied by the sound of "pop" shattering, a ball of white aerosol exploded, and it felt like more than a dozen dry powder fire extinguishers were suddenly exploded. The area with a radius of ten meters was suddenly shrouded by the power of coldness. The white aerosol continued to spread around and quickly weakened. After disappearing, the central core area was covered with a layer of solid ice, and the temperature could still hurt the skin of the demon, and even created a large number of bleeding points. It can be seen that the power was enough.
Feiqi used his wings to generate airflow, and suddenly realized that the temperature dropped sharply, and Bai Frost instantly climbed up to his wings. His body sank down and quickly threw himself out with a phantom. It turned out that the low-temperature air mass produced by the cold cold core was still there, and it was sinking on the ground near the explosion point. The wind in the first layer of hell was very small and it had not blown away the thing. The wind created by Feiqi stirred the invisible cold air. If he had not seen the opportunity quickly, he might have lost his lift quickly and then fell down and was frozen.
"The power of the core area is a bit great. If I can't stand it, the bone demon will have no chance, and even the horn demon will be severely damaged. This doesn't work, this is absolutely not possible." Feiqi walked towards the core area in a spiral manner along the periphery of the explosion point, feeling the continuous power effect of the cannon, while thinking about improvement plans. "The human cannon is a profitable product, not to upgrade the combat power of the devil, so this cannon is first cheap, and then it looks easy to use, so it can be sold more expensively. But it must not be overwhelming. The devils are still needed on the battlefield."
"So the spells at the core of Frozen Cold need to be further weakened. At the same time, in order to prevent the devil from using other spells to deal excessive damage, the power-enhancing spell of the cannon body also needs to be done. The best thing is to leave it for yourself, as long as the devil can use it."
Modifying the Frozen Core and Power Amplification Spell will not affect the firing method of the Human Cannon, so this cannon can be used to collect parabolic data. Based on the design policy of "not being able to cover enough, and the ruler is not allowed to be adjusted manually", Feiqi has collected parabolic range data forty times and ended the work. A very rough and rough data table was calculated in the teaser stick, and the first cannon was split into pieces by Feiqi using the pit sword, completely destroyed, and the Frozen Core Scroll was also burned to ashes.
Kazmuk looked at this scene with some confusion. This cannon could sell more than a hundred spiritual coins at all, so why did it be dismantled? And that cold cold core spell is the most magical fire element spell he has ever seen, and it is no problem to say it is priceless. A fire dwarf can use flame magic to create cold cold, which will completely change the state of his hometown fire element plane. If the fire dwarf can master this kind of killing weapon, he will no longer have to be afraid of the fire element and the threat of the fire giant, and will have the power to defend himself for the first time.
But Fitch destroyed the scroll without hesitation.
Kazmuk didn't dare to ask, but he felt that he might not see the Frozen Core Spell again. Later that day, a new human cannon design was handed over to his hands, accompanied by a "Frozen Core". He looked at the brand new handwriting on it. Although he couldn't understand the spells and runes, he could count them. The new cannon lost 30% of the runes, and the expected cost could be reduced so much - and the runes used by "Frozen Core" were half less.
"Engrave this cold core directly on the cannon to remove the function of accommodating the scroll. The other side only accepts fire element gems, and there is no need to be a common interface for each element gem - these two parts save a lot of rune costs."
Kazmuk could quickly understand the improvements of these two parts, but he noticed that the less runes were not only the interfaces on both sides of the cannon, but the focus was on the cannon body. The rotation and adjustment range did not change, but the runes belonging to the original devil cannon were reduced again. He was surprised by Feiqi's powerful ability to learn and modify spells, but even more surprised by Feiqi's thoughts hidden behind these actions.
A devil did not always think about enhancing the power of the weapons in his hand, but was weakening it? "Sir..." Kazmuk hesitated for a moment and decided to ask. "Can you make money by reducing the power?"
"Is it weakening its power? Why don't I know? Kazmuk, when will you understand the design from now on?"
"Sir, I can't understand it, but there are a lot less runes on it."
"What you said makes sense. There are too few runes and it doesn't look advanced enough. I should add some more to it - anyway, there are no middle-level devils who use this cannon who like to study rune spells." Feiqi took the drawing back and got another one after half an hour. This time the design drawing was full of runes, but how many of them are really useful? Kazmuk saw many runes representing glowing and vocalizing runes, and guessed that Feiqi simply added the "special effect" when firing.
"Sir, if... I mean, if... I'm talking about what kind of punishment would I bear if the camp warehouse was attacked by spells in the previous demon raid and some of the drawings were damaged?"
"If you are damaged, you will get ten whips and deduct one hundred spiritual coins."
"What if the drawings of the Devil Cannon were found because they were used before, and they were left on the table without protection, and they were completely destroyed?" Kazmuk clenched his fist and encouraged himself before asking this sentence.
"Then forget it, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone." Feich pointed to Kazmuk: "It's better to put your mind in the right place than anything else, do you understand?"
The Fire Dwarf nodded and let go of his fist. He knew that he had bet right. This Desire Demon named Feiqi really didn't want the devil to master stronger spell cannon technology. This "master" is not a typical devil. His approach is different from other devils, or even the opposite, which made the Fire Dwarf a little interested and hope: he might have changed.
The real change occurred when the "first" human cannon was placed in front of Kurdan. It adopted the style and structure of the classic "Napoleon cannon". The bronze-cast cannon body was mounted on two wheels, and the power of two to three intermediate devils was enough to pull it around. The dense runes were engraved on both sides of the barrel. The outer layer played a protective role (actually a decoration), and the inner layer was used to increase the power of the spell, increase the range, and add environmental protection. The frozen core spell was at the bottom of the barrel, and Kazmuk added a mechanism to "disassemble and destroy" and received Fitch's approval and praise.
"It's this? It looks so small and not powerful at all." Kurdan looked at the messy runes on the cannon and felt dizzy. "But you won't be aimless, so show me!"
There were many arrested demons in the blood peddling market, sold to merchants and adventurers who came to hell as prisoners of war slaves, and now there is still a lot of remaining inventory that can no longer be sold. Kurdan gave an order, and a group of ugly, poor, and difficult to manage were dragged into the open space by chains. "Just beat them," said the Deep Demon.
"The distance is almost four hundred meters." Feiqi clearly adjusted according to the scale table, and actually secretly used the cat stick to make more accurate calculations. "I'll launch it, or do you want to enjoy it yourself?"
"You come on, I'll just look at it. I don't need this kind of small toy."
"As long as the middle and high-level low-level devils are needed," Feiqi connected his magic matrix with the human cannon, adding some power and precision out of thin air, and then inputting mana.
In a dazzling flash and a roar full of fighting will, a blue crystal ball-like shell was fired, and behind him was dragged a deep red track of hell - the cool effect of this is not in vain that Feiqi has been wasting the runes that were wasted on the cannon.
The shell landing point was five meters away from Feiqi's calculation, but it looked good enough. The effect of the explosion of the dry powder fire extinguisher appeared again, and a thick white air fog expanded violently and then slowly spread. Kurdan frowned, "Isn't you just seeing nothing?"
"As long as it doesn't affect the effect," Fitch said, "In theory, it can continue to improve and create an explosive wind to blow away the cold air. But that will increase a lot of costs and not increase the power."
"You don't understand, Yunwu is a very annoying thing on the battlefield. Not seeing the situation on the front line will bring danger." Kurdan always needs to find a reason to show his wisdom. Feiqi also understands this, so he looks like a qualified "Party B" and says it again and again. Then, the Desire Demon and the Deep Demon flew to the explosion point.
More than 30 closely arranged low-level demons have completely frozen to death. The liquid in their bodies has expanded outward due to the sudden freezing, so they are all covered in frost. As the main force of the bloody battle demon, Babu Demon has a survival rate of 40%, but even if he is alive, he is already frozen and has no ability to move at all. He can only wait for life or wait for a final blow.
As an Eagle Demon, which is about the same level as the Desire Demon, the two flying demons of the Soul-Eating Demon were placed a little farther away to simulate the effect of the near-ground. Feiqi fought a little crookedly, so the Eagle Demon was closer to the cold core than expected, and had been frozen to death and frozen. The Soul-Eating Demon was slightly better, but there were a lot of damage on the bat-like wings, and the overall stiffness was also made, and the flight ability was definitely greatly reduced. Although there was no stronger demon to be found for the experiment, judging from the current situation, the killing effect may be discounted, but the frozen battlefield can definitely limit their activities.
Kurdan was shocked. He had seen many magical magics that were more powerful than this, but it was the first time he had seen such a convenient spell. Some mages could summon meteors from the sky and smash a city to ashes while the earth was shaking. But how much can a person bear in a day? The consumption of mana and the lengthy casting time are still tolerated, but how long does it take to cultivate a person with that casting power? How many people can there be?
Now, this cannon can be used as long as it has the magic power of the intermediate devil. The time to cultivate the caster becomes the time to find the craftsman to create according to the drawings. This is a world of difference. If the intermediate devil has the ability to freeze spells no less than the ice demon, and can continue to attack at a very long distance, then the balance of the bloody battle will definitely be broken.
"Is this what you thought of?" Kurdan pointed at the center of the explosion point and asked Feiqi.
Feiqi nodded, but shook his head again: "I just made a little improvement, and the real foundation is still the devil..."
"Needless to say, I understand!" Kurdan interrupted Feichi's words and hurriedly stated: "The whole hell obeys the orders of the Devil Commander, and I am one of them loyal. Don't worry, no matter how much you produce, I can sell it! This war zone, the next battle zone, and even various war zones! Next time, the demon will definitely run into a bloody head!"
Feiqi nodded vigorously, and he finally swallowed the last word "cannon" of the "devil cannon". Since Kurdan thought it was Asmothils's will, it was its own intelligence, Feiqi didn't need to be a fool to wake it up, right?
The main reason for this misunderstanding is that Kurdan underestimated Feiqi and always believed that he did not have the ability to complete such design and manufacturing. What abilities does the Desire Demon in Hell have are basically fixed, and it has even become rigid. The "inherent impression" has become deeply rooted and has become a mistake.
"I think this cannon is suitable, or even perfect!" Kurdan never misses language when it comes to praising the great devil king. "In order to commemorate the birth of this meaningful weapon, demonstrate its power, and remind everyone to implement the will of the devil king. It is better to name it the Demon Guanguang Killing Cannon! I will give you 666 spiritual coins for one cannon. What do you think?"
"Is this good? Before you completely expand production and reduce costs, it's okay to give me 600 spiritual coins. Isn't 666 more meaningful when you take out?"
"Then I just fell back and said 66 spirit coins? How could I be so embarrassed!"
"No, your tasks and roles are very important, very important! If the cost is not really high, I really want to give you more profits. But..."
"Stop talking, pushing and letting go will be as disgusting as an angel. We are devils, so we'll just make it right! Hurry up and give birth, I'll test shots here. I'm very happy now, do you know! Don't delay me!"
