Proof of the Sun King

It was a cloudy, not-so-sunny morning on a winter morning in the Barondom of Jean.

In the master bedroom, Ryan was still resting, but the maid Orika was already awake. She barely got up, and her legs trembled as she changed the prepared maid's clothes.

She now felt magical in herself again.

Olika tied her waist-length black hair with a headgear and a headband. She changed into a new maid outfit. Before Ryan was awake, she gently walked to the head of the bed and let Ryan lean on her.

Olika, whose soul was severely damaged, knew that if she wanted to cast spells, she could only rely on Ryan to provide her with mana. In this way, she could slowly use magic to repair her soul, and she herself had no magic power.

The flames in the master bedroom were crackling, and the dark elf shouted in a low voice: "Master? Wake up, today you are going to see the dwarves test the latest artillery."

"Yes, I'm going to see the dwarves test the artillery today." Ryan woke up slowly, and buried his head in the dark elf's full chest: "Olica? How do you feel?"

"What else can I do? It's very comfortable." The dark elf blushed. Recently, Veronica's energy is still in the wizard's tower. Usually, Olika rests with Ryan in the evening. Naturally, she is responsible for serving Ryan. , to address Ryan's needs.

After a good morning kiss, Ryan got up and changed his clothes. He suddenly asked with interest, "By the way, Orika, what are your dark elves' siege weapons?"

"It's a thousand-pound siege ballista, master." The dark elf helped Ryan wash up, and she continued: "This powerful siege ballista has been blessed by the warlocks of the Hekati Sorceress Association, and has great power. People hit by ballistas will not be killed but also mutilated."

"Then will you make ballistas like dwarves?" Ryan joked.

"The technology of making this thousand-pound ballista has long since been lost, master," Olika said helplessly, the dark elf holding Ryan's hand from behind: "Maybe there are still high elves, but we don't have one here in Duruchy. Yes, all the thousand-pound ballistas are closely guarded and will only be taken out when there is a need for war, and many people believe that only Hydra and Black Dragon are enough to siege the city."

"Okay, I'm going to check the artillery, do you want to go with me?" Ryan changed his clothes, washed, and he was about to go out.

As always, the dark elves were reluctant to leave the castle.

Coming out of the door, the sorceress Teresa was standing at the door with a purple staff. She was wearing a purple robe today with black leather jacket and leather pants. When she saw Ryan come out, her tone was indescribably weird. : "Finally willing to come out?"

"Oh, please, dear Teresa, I also need time to get up." Ryan said helplessly, "Aren't you going to go out with me to watch the artillery?"

"Yes, I have seen a lot of Nord and Imperial artillery, but I have never seen the heavy artillery of the dwarves." Speaking of this, the sorceress also showed an interested expression: "It is said that the dwarves are the strongest The power of a large artillery can be compared to a forbidden spell."

Thirty minutes later, the selected test gun location in the wild.

Four dwarf heavy artillery pieces were lined up, followed by an even more oddly shaped artillery piece. This piece of artillery consisted of four smaller barrels side by side, placed in a cart.

The dwarf engineer Dugan Tiehan came out, stroking his thick and smooth beard, wearing a dwarf dress specially made by tailors in the collar of some comically heavy clothes, Dugan wearing a round face-pin With a feathered hat, his arms crossed his chest, and his head raised: "I live up to expectations, my baron, I have made four dwarf heavy cannons and an organ cannon for you."

"These cannons cost me nearly seven hundred gold crowns. My dwarf brother, you almost bankrupted me, you know?" Ryan reached out and touched the dwarf heavy cannon. Muzzle, Ryan feels satisfied.

"Alas, our dwarf's things are indeed more expensive, but please rest assured, the baron, the cannons made by our dwarves and the cannons made by the empire's humans across the mountain are absolutely heaven and earth. And the guns produced by our dwarves have absolutely no problems in this regard!" Dugan also reached out and stroked the body of his own gun, his face couldn't help grinning: "It's worth the money, you get what you pay for, I friend."

Gunpowder is the embodiment of the power of the dwarves at their peak, and by stroking the dark barrels, dwarven engineers can find deep solace and a sense of blood connection.

Ryan also reached out and stroked the dwarf heavy artillery. There is no doubt that the appearance of gunpowder has changed the course of the war. He has seen the power of the imperial artillery, and now he has the artillery of the dwarves.

There is no doubt that the artillery of the dwarves is more powerful and has a longer range, but it is also more expensive.

With artillery, the future wars will be completely different. Unlike large catapults, dwarves' artillery is easy to carry and travel. The artillery is equipped with huge wheels, which can be moved by a packhorse or pushed by manpower. For a catapult that takes several hours to assemble, the dwarf artillery is really a catapult.

"For a dwarf artillery, we will have four to five compatriots who are responsible for the whole process from loading to launching, and can fire one shot in five minutes." Dwarf engineer Dugan Tiehan continued: "At the same time, dwarves are also warriors, once there is an enemy Close, we can also take up arms to fight, but my baron, I still want to emphasize that it is far better for us to fire guns than to use weapons to fight."

"Rest assured, Brittany has the most powerful knights in the old world, and your flanks will be protected." Ryan nodded with satisfaction, the knights of Brittany and the artillery of the dwarves, his army's future combat effectiveness is invaluable underestimate.

"Speaking of which, what is this?" Sorceress Teresa asked with interest as she walked to the special cannon behind the four heavy artillery pieces.

"This is the organ cannon, miss." The dwarf engineer laughed when he talked about his proud work: "This is my big treasure."

"Organ Cannon?" Ryan also walked in front of the Organ Cannon. I have to say that the four cannon barrels are running side by side, which does have the illusion of an organ.

"The organ cannon consists of four smaller barrels." Before Dugan walked to the organ cannon, he began to explain the special features of the organ cannon: "Compared to the heavy cannon, the organ cannon has a shorter range and is more powerful and has a higher fatality rate. more unstable"

"Then you still do this?" Teresa frowned subconsciously.

"Listen to me, this beautiful wizard lady." Dugan laughed repeatedly, his laughter had some sarcasm, but what he said was not particularly harsh.

Dwarves are eccentric, save face, value promises, greedy for money, and will retaliate. Diplomacy and speaking are indeed not what they are good at, but some dwarves are indeed more gifted than their compatriots in this area. Duggan and his clan have already After wandering in the mountains for many years, compared with many dwarves with a temper like a stone, he is more able to speak, especially for the dwarves.

"The Organ Cannon has a shorter range and less accurate artillery power, but it has a larger firepower coverage and salvo power than the Dwarven Heavy Cannon." Dugan went on to explain: "As long as the organ is properly operated A single salvo from all four cannons can directly destroy an entire team of enemies, which can’t be done by a cannon.”

"So we can place the cannon behind the position, but the organ cannon can be placed slightly forward?" Leinma understood the relationship: "The organ cannon can quickly destroy the approaching enemy, and as long as it is properly protected, it can always function. "

"Yes, my baron, you are very talented as a commander." Dugan nodded.

The test firing of the artillery made Ryan very satisfied. Several stone houses that were used as targets were blown to pieces by the cannonballs. Since the whistling cannonballs could blow up such thick stone houses, it was no problem to deal with the city walls. Down.

"Very good." Ryan nodded again and again: "With this, we no longer need trebuchets."

"Of course, we dwarves are about to be eliminated from the trebuchet." Dugan Tiehan raised his head: "My baron, give it to us with confidence, we will fight where you want us to fight."

"make a deal!"

"make a deal!"

Ryan's hand and the dwarf's hand clasped together.

It took the baron to test the artillery for an afternoon. When Teresa and Ryan returned to the castle, the sorceress said with great interest: "I didn't expect you to ask the dwarves to make artillery for you. Do you know how difficult it is for the dwarves to serve? I haven't seen a dwarf in Nord's place except the capital."

"The place in Nord itself has few outsiders. It's normal not to see dwarves. The dwarves don't like to leave the mountains. If they really want to leave the mountains, the bitter cold place in Nord is not what they want to go to." Ryan smiled. : "Even I can't stay in Nord, let alone dwarves."

"So now I've come here too. Frankly speaking, I like this place, Ryan." Theresa walked beside Ryan, and the dirt road in the baron has been replaced by a stone road: "It's a little hot in summer. , other than that it's fine."

"Really? I thought you wouldn't like this place, especially since your temper has not been very good recently." Ryan's words sounded meaningful.

"Of course! It would be better if you could let Veronica get out with her things, and, when did she have the money to make her own wizard tower?" Sure enough, when it came to this, the sorceress gritted her teeth: "Tell me , Ryan, is hers that valuable?"

"???" Ryan's face was a little confused: "I don't know which one you are talking about."

"Forget it, Ryan, I also want to have a wizard tower of my own!" Teresa's silver pupils shined through her black butterfly patterned eyes: "You can build one for me too."

"It takes money to build a wizard's tower, my eldest lady." Ryan complained: "In order to make artillery, I was poor to death, and half of this year's tax was invested in this."

"Is there money to build a wizard's tower for Veronica? No money to build me?" Teresa gritted her teeth, and blue veins and snowflakes began to appear on her forehead: "Don't lie to me, Veronica's wizard's tower It's the most luxurious wizard tower I've seen in a while. She spent nearly 2,000 gold dinars on the first floor to call her a gold crown here, right? Where did she get so much money? It's not all you gave her of?"

"I didn't give him that money, she deposited it with me. When we completed the mission to hunt down the fallen hunters in Marienburg, we got a lot of money." Ryan explained the origin of Veronica's wealth , and then went on to say: "She built the wizard's tower entirely by herself, and at most I gave her a place."

Teresa's little hands in white lace gloves clenched the reins, and the sorceress was very unconvinced.

These were supposed to be mine! Wizard Tower too! His love too!

Obviously I came first!

Thinking of her mother's teaching~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Miss Sorceress calmed down, and she continued, "Then can you give me a place too?"

"Yes, but you have to choose it yourself." Ryan nodded: "Also, there are already two towers near the castle, you'd better choose a farther place."

"I see."

Just returning to the castle, Ryan welcomes an unexpected visitor.

It's half-elf Estelle! The half-elf was wearing a deerskin cloak and a wood elf robe, with a recurve bow behind him and a dagger around his waist. Seeing Ryan's return, the half-elf took the initiative to say hello: "Good afternoon, Ryan."

"Good afternoon, my friend, Estelle, what's the matter with you coming to me?" Ryan rolled over and dismounted and shook hands with Estelle, only then did he notice that Estelle was also standing behind him. Half-elf: "This is"

"He's my friend, his name is Dess." Estelle introduced to Lane: "He is a ranger who used to work for the Woodland Council. He is responsible for cleaning up corruption in the forest, destroying evil and dealing with elves. Vicious dryads with strong hostility and other secret work."

"Hello, Lord Lion Macado, I have heard your name and understand your great deeds." The half-elf was wearing a dark green cloak with exquisite scales produced by wood elves, and a face towel on his face. , and a green hood, only a pair of eyes can be seen: "It's an honor to meet you."

"I'm honored to meet you too, Mr. Deiss." Ryan shook his hand.

At the same time, a bunch of weird thoughts popped into the baron's mind: only disloyal guys have things to hide, secret circles built inside, and green monster hoods.

"I have something to say, my baron." Estelle sighed, he blushed a little and said: "Me and Dais want to rely on you, can you take us in?"

"This"
