Chapter 30 The Holy City
Chapter 30 Saint Capital
The three forms of the magic gun "Gao Tower" are the ordinary forms, the speed forms and the defense forms.
The ordinary form still looks like a muzzle, but the muzzle is much larger, with a diameter of ten centimeters, and the live ammunition function has been cancelled. Compared with the third generation of ferocious birds, the energy-gathering effect is increased, and the gun chamber can be disassembled and changed at will.
Each gun chamber has its own magic pattern, which can shoot some low-level magic such as fireball, wind blade, and a spirit gathering array is engraved at the muzzle. The energy gathering bombs of various attributes can be fired according to the different materials of the gun chamber. These energy gathering bombs do not need to provide internal energy, and their power can be large or small. It depends entirely on the total amount of gathered elements. The spirit gathering array gathers the surrounding elements, and can reach the maximum strength of a level nine single magic.
Because of the expansion of the muzzle, there are fewer restrictions on the magic bullets that can be fired. There is no need to work hard to carve magic bullets, but also consider not destroying the muzzle when firing, and even conducting continuous firing. In addition, there is also an increase in the position of magic crystals inside. First, it can provide magic power to the energy-concentrating bullets and accelerate the gathering process. Second, it can also add additional effects to the magic bullets. Third, the user can also indirectly enhance the power of the magic gun by delivering magic power to the magic crystals.
The velocity form of the tower looks like a dagger, similar to the structure of a high-vibration particle knife. The magic array used in the magic gun to strengthen magic bullets will all become the additional effects of the dagger, such as the wind magic pattern, the giant power magic pattern, the flash magic pattern, etc., which can also exert power when attached to the weapon.
In addition, the unique detachable gun chamber and spirit gathering effect will be transformed into a light blade in the velocity form to continuously gather magic elements and form a circle of elemental energy light blades that constantly shock the outside of the blade. This light blade is particularly effective when facing the magic shield, and can quickly cut off the magic sequence and destroy the magic structure. This is a kind of destruction from microscopic to macroscopic, which is completely opposite to the situation of breaking the magic shield in ordinary situations.
The defensive form of the tower is an arm shield, a round shield with a radius of fifteen centimeters. The defense area is not large. Considering the strength issue, this round shield is mainly used to defend against physical attacks, so it does not matter whether the area is large or not. The user's reaction is sensitive enough, and a toothpick is the size of a toothpick to block all cold weapon attacks.
When facing a large-scale magic attack, a light shield is ejected from the middle of the mezzanine above and below the round shield, which can cover the entire body at most. This also uses the effect of the gun chamber and the spirit gathering array. However, as the coverage area increases, the power must be increased and the magic power of the hidden magic crystal can be satisfied.
The defensive tower can also attack, and can only narrow the range of the light shield. Like a dagger in the velocity form, it sprays a light blade that constantly shocks on the periphery. Moreover, because of its circular structure, it can also increase the effect of high-speed cyclo-cutting. In terms of destructive power, it is even above the light blade dagger in the velocity form. Of course, the flexibility is far less than that. After all, it is a round shield fixed on the arm, but it can be thrown out when necessary to conduct a medium-range attack.
Tang Ning had considered the magic sniper gun, and the idea was very good, but when it was actually cast, he found that there were many difficulties and many difficult problems could not be overcome in a short period of time.
For example, for ordinary muskets, if the bullets of sniper guns want to shoot farther, they just need to increase the propulsion generated during the explosion. However, for magic guns, they need not fire live ammunition, but magic bullets. You must know that the range of magic is basically fixed, and sometimes they will increase due to the user's strong mental power and magic control. However, magic guns have no mental power, and shooting further is a problem that needs to be overcome.
The second is the barrel. The barrel can be called the soul of a sniper rifle. After all, sniper rifles require precision, so the precision required for sniper-specific barrels is higher than that of ordinary barrels, and the mass and weight are much higher than that of traditional barrels, so as to reduce too much changes from the bounce point after the first round of ammunition is fired. In particular, the barrel is high temperature and expansion due to continuous firing, which will cause the angular fraction value of the scattered bounce point on the bullet cover to gradually increase.
If ordinary gathering guns have such considerations, magic guns will be even more troublesome. With the increase in range of magic bullets, the damage to the barrel will be much greater than that of ordinary live ammunition. So what material to use to make the gun chamber must be considered in detail.
Another issue is shooting accuracy. Ordinary sniper guns rely on the scope on them. For example, the knob on the sniper lens adjusts the sight because of the amount of bullets falling. After the bullet is out of the bore, it will fall due to gravity. Generally, the drop volume can be ignored at close range, but the target of the sniper may sometimes be kilometers away, so this drop volume must be considered when sniping.
The aiming of the magic gun is generally the same as that of a magic weapon, and it depends on the user's mental locking. However, since it is a long-range sniper, the target position must be outside the user's mental power range. How to perform mental locking is also a big problem. It is obviously impossible to rely on the scope like a magic bullet.
The above difficulties forced Tang Ning to temporarily give up the idea of the magic sniper gun and wait until he has free time to study it slowly.
The original plan was to travel all the way, but since I met Miss Alina who was about to return to the Sanctuary, Tangning changed his actions and told Alina about this change. This kind of information revealed can sometimes be useful for confusing people with ulterior motives.
So as the relationship between Peter and Alina became increasingly sublimated, everyone came to the capital.
The streets of Saikored are very clean and seem to have very little garbage. It is not because of the quality of the people here, but because of the strict laws in the capital. Littering at will will result in a fine of at least one gold coin. It may not be a big deal for the rich, but for ordinary people it is a heart-wrenching expense.
In addition, an ancient tree will be planted every twenty meters apart on both sides of the street. The trunks of the ancient tree are hollowed out and all garbage can be thrown into it. Then the organic matter that can be dissolved will be absorbed and converted into fresh air to emit it. The substances that cannot be absorbed will be excreted to the underground water channel with the rhizomes.
This is the latest environmentally friendly biological tree developed by the Magic Empire. It is very popular in all major cities. It mainly refers to the technology of the elves to combine nature and cities.
In today's era, although the magic civilization is not a booming period, it is always progressing and will not regress. In the past few years when Tang Ning left, the world cannot always be doing nothing. You are the only one who is progressing, while others are standing still. This situation is impossible. After all, this is still a peaceful era, and civilization is generally in an upward period.
Compared to the strong free trade atmosphere in the city of the commercial alliance, Saikored gives people a sense of order and solemn heaviness, and even a little depressed, as if he is in a cage full of iron thorns, reminding you that you cannot break the rules.
As the street was moving forward, a large group of people wearing neat white robes appeared in front of them, like hundreds of white ghosts gathered together to move forward calmly, muttering dull prayers, and there were waves of momentum in their eyes.
"The God who created you, now says: Do not be afraid, for I will salvation you. I have called you in your name, and you belong to me. You pass through the water, and I will be with you. You cross the river, and the water will not overtake you. You walk through the fire, and will not be burned, and the flames will not be on you. For I am your God, the supreme saint, your Savior. I have made Alpha be your ransom, and made Javiah replace you. I have led me to see you as treasure and honor, and because I love you, I have made people for your life. Whoever calls me under my name is me who creates for my glory and is my people... but I am God, and there is no Savior except me, and there is no true God before me, and whoever believes in me will have eternal life..."
The neat and uniform prayer sounds shook and resonated back and forth on the streets, and they were quite powerful. In addition, most of them were holding various tall and mighty flags and flags, which were like a large group of soldiers patrolling the territory.
Visitors appreciate it as important landscapes, while believers of the Light must put down their things and pray devoutly. Even if they are not believers of the Light, they dare not show disrespect at this time.
This is the church parade, and it has absolute right of passage in the capital of the Holy City. Confronting them is against the will of the gods and is a blasphemy sin. At that time, the streets were not as developed as they are now. There was a traffic accident. The seriously injured were eager to be sent to the hospital for treatment, but they encountered the church parade. As a result, during the period when they were waiting for the parade to leave, the seriously injured passed away because they were too seriously injured and could not receive timely treatment.
But even so, the family of the injured didn't care what to blame, but just said sadly that the deceased was summoned by the Lord and left.
In short, what things that were disrespectful to the gods in the Saint Capital were basically the same as rebellion. James understood this very well, so he quickly drove the carriage and retreated to the sidewalk, and others would not blame him.
After the parade left, James shook his head and set off again. He would definitely complain, but he didn't dare to say it out loud and didn't want to cause trouble for this little thing, although he knew that these guys were just pretending to be powerful.
In the Santo Capital, Alina is the host, but Tangning rejected her invitation to visit her new house first, and said she would come to visit her soon. So, although the two lovers who had not established a relationship, had to be separated from each other, as long as they were inseparable.
Tang Ning had a long time ago when he had a client to buy a house in Shengdu. He wanted to play the role of a nobleman who had too much money to spend, which was very consistent with everyone's view of the nobleman in the business alliance.
The house is naturally set in the residential area of the rich, where all the great mansions in various districts compete with their elegant design and gorgeous architecture. Near the middle section of the road, at the back of the most magnificent building, there is a large garden, with chestnut trees everywhere, and the canopy overlooking the tall and strong walls like castles. Every spring, pink and snow-white chestnut flowers fall one after another, so these delicate petals are piled up in the large stone pots on both sides of the iron gate built by the Louis XIV era.
The temporary residence I purchased was a house made of white stone. In a small courtyard in front of the house, there were two small flower beds full of beautiful flowers. When the carriage drove to the door, it had to go through a turn and bypass a stone fountain, where many golden and silver fish were leisurely swimming in the pool.
The house is a three-story building with a kitchen and a cellar underneath and a loft above. All properties include a huge workshop, a garden and two buildings in the garden.
The previous owner was not a very rich man, otherwise he would not have sold the house. However, he was very economical and kept half of the main house and the garden. He built a wall between the garden and the workshop, and rented out the two buildings on the bottom of the garden. So he spent a little money, but lived comfortably, and like the most particular nobles, he got a single-family large house.
Unfortunately, such an economically savvy person ended up losing money due to business failure and finally declared bankruptcy and had to sell the house at a low price.
This proves that a petty businessman cannot live a decent life. Tang Ning spent 20,000 gold coins to buy this house, which is really inexpensive.
The carriage was stopped by the sheriff here. Tang Ning showed the house deed certificate to the administrator of the wealthy area and his own count, so he was respectfully introduced and asked whether someone needed to send him to serve, but was rejected. Elora said that with her alone, it would be enough to take care of all the cleaning work, and neither the housekeeper nor the servant was needed, and Tang Ning was happy that there were no outsiders.
After entering the dining room, it was full of oak furniture of uniform colors, mahogany furniture and blue velvet window curtains in the living room, citron and green satin in the bedroom, and the master had a study room, but he never read and had a music room, but he never fiddled with musical instruments.
In the living room, there is a large porcelain vase from the Middle Earth. The bottle is filled with flowers, filling the air with the fragrance of flowers. The singing of birds came from a nearby aviary. The aviary was made of branches of fake ebony and locust trees, surrounded by blue velvet curtains. In this lovely secluded residence, everything, from the melodious singing of the birds to the sound of the wind chimes, gives people a sense of tranquility.
However, as Lilis began to organize his room, Yi Yi was strolling around the garden, Alora actively cleaned, and while Peter fell in love with the noble lady from the neighbor's house next door and tried to chat with him, Tangning did not enjoy the elegant and luxurious environment. He was thinking about his next action plan, his mind was full of conspiracy and calculations, and it seemed too dark, but revenge did not need to be open and upright. The more upright you are, the more boring, the more meaningless you are.
Although Tang Ning, who has a devil's personality, has made a general layout, but after all, his information comes from Tang Ning. He naturally doesn't know anything that Tang Ning doesn't know. He is not clear about the actual situation of the Shengdu City and it is difficult for him to make detailed plans. He is blind to the enemy and the battlefield, but he can also make a seamless layout. There is no explanation except that God has made a golden finger for him. Even if he doesn't need to plan, he will have the same effect when he comes to the door.
In the original plan, after arriving in the capital, you should find a way to become famous in one fell swoop, make a big move, attract all parties' attention, and make yourself the focus. Although doing so is the danger of identity exposure, risks and benefits coexist, which can help Tang Ning integrate into the communication circle of the upper class in a short period of time and have the opportunity to get close to his enemies.
But how to do something big to attract attention from all parties and how to implement it must be thought about.
It is a feasible plan to spend a lot of money at the auction, but Tang Ning is not the rich man in the world, and he is not as rich as a country. It is just that compared to ordinary nobles, he has no burden on his family and is alone. All his funds are concentrated on one person. He does not have to consider other things and can be squandered at will.
However, if you act like this, you will easily leave the impression of a nouveau riche. The nobles from the Commercial Federation do give people a very rich view, but having money does not mean nouveau riche. The essence is a noble, and having money is just a gem carried by the noble. This is the correct impression, not being rich is the essence. The nobles are just a crown carried by the merchants, so it would be terrible to leave this impression.
Moreover, spending a lot of money at auctions is easy to leave negative impressions such as fat sheep, showing off wealth, stupidity, etc. If such things are in the commercial federation where materialism is prevalent, there are really many markets and may win applause. However, in the Holy Alliance, there are some traditional schools that believe that the quality of aristocrats should be frugal and simple, especially many nobles have the priesthood of the Holy Alliance and attach great importance to moral qualities. Showing off wealth is definitely not a wise choice.
With the help of her friendship with Miss Alina, she led a party, and then they appeared as special guests and were introduced to others, plus what happened halfway through as interesting seasonings.
This approach is very orthodox and there is no risk, but the impact it brings to people is too weak, and it is not the best choice, and can only be regarded as a last resort.
Tang Ning went over and over again, but still didn't come up with a plan that worked. After all, he was not a nobleman, had never experienced the upper class, and did not know the habits of the so-called upper class. He just learned aristocratic etiquette and some common sense from his adoptive father. When laying out, everything could only be done by rational inference, which could easily lead to logical contradictions.
Even the wise are not omniscient and omnipotent, and have their own professional field. The so-called "distance is like a mountain". In terms of how to kill the enemy and fight, Tang Ning is at the level of a master, and he can come up with several methods every minute, but this soft conspiracy is really not his strength, so he can only use general wisdom to reason.
"Since that's the case, I'll just plan it in the way I'm good at. There's no need to change myself deliberately. Innovativeness is also an attractive means."
While thinking, Tang Ning took out the Qingping Sword as a trophy. If this treasure was presented, it would probably cause collective shock to the Holy Alliance.
