My Maid Knight

2022-03-09/p> Chapter 7 Contradictions (Second Update)

Not long after Henry, the acting store manager entered the back room, he followed an old man out.

This old man has bright red hair scattered like fire, the lush beard covers his entire chin, and under the bushy eyebrows are a pair of rather fierce eyes, at first glance, it looks like an angry look. A red-haired lion with round eyes.

To say he’s an old man is an exaggeration, and Roy guesses he’s in his early fifties.

The main reason is that he has enough Spirit, Soul and Qi, so he doesn’t look old. He has been engaged in forging all year round, which makes his muscles strong. If he really wants to fight hand to hand, I am afraid that even youngster will not be his opponent.

He was holding a stack of blueprints in his rough and thick hands, and when he saw Roy and Harvey, he couldn’t help but stunned: “Who is the client this time?”

” I am.” Roy stood up.

Seeing Henry standing upright behind the red-haired old man, he immediately understood the identity of this man.

He is Master John.

“You?”

John looked Roy up and down.

With a childish face, it is estimated that he has not even graduated from elementary school. How could he be the designer of blueprint?

His tone was a little helpless: “Little devil, where is your adult?”

“I came alone—with my friends.” Roy pointed. Harvey by his side.

John was immediately disappointed: “Since your family wants to modify the crossbow to this extent, why don’t you come over in person? The design of this crossbow is unreasonable. If it is not modified, the finished product will only be It can be used as a decoration!”

He paused and looked a little regretful, but seeing that the other party was just a child, he also lost interest in continuing to communicate:

“How about you Let your lord call me and talk about it.”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

“I designed this crossbow, if you have any questions, just ask me.”

Roy stopped him, “My name is Roy Arnold, Master John , you just said that the design of this crossbow is unreasonable?”

John figure stopped, after confirming that the boy was not joking, his eyes could not help but light up: “You drew this blueprint?”

Roy nods.

“Okay, okay, okay!”

He said three good words in a row, without continuing nonsense, he pointed to the blueprint in his hand and said, “The old man will tell you. , what’s wrong with your design of this crossbow.”

“First of all, the blacksmith must confirm one thing when customizing the weapon: who is the user of this crossbow? Is he an ordinary person, or an inheritor? “

“Myself, I’m an inheritor,” Roy responded.

“Then there is a very paradoxical point.”

John said, “This crossbow uses a lot of complex mechanics, making it both formidable power and winding speed. It has been improved. But correspondingly, it has high requirements on the strength of the material, so the old man needs to strengthen and enchant the material, but in this way, this crossbow has become a Spiritual Artifact.”

He emphasized the word “Spiritual Artifact”.

“However, this crossbow just uses the material of the spirit weapon class, it doesn’t mean it can deal the damage of the spirit weapon class! Let me tell you how big the real Spirit Artifact formidable power is.”

As he spoke, he pulled out a long sword from the weapon rack on the wall. With the injection of spiritual power, the long sword immediately glowed faintly, and the sword body trembled faintly, as if There is unparalleled power in it.

“If this sword is swung out, this shop will instantly turn into ruins.” John stroked the blade, casually said.

Roy subconsciously nodded.

He has already felt the oppression of this long sword at close range, so he has no doubts about the authenticity of this sentence.

“This sword is the same as your crossbow. It’s just tempering and enchanting a weapon of ordinary material. It belongs to the lowest level of low grade Spiritual Artifact, but I dare to guarantee that after your crossbow is made, , the actual combat formidable power will be completely inferior to this sword!”

John said solemnly: “The difference between the two is that this sword from the very beginning was forged as the embryo of Spiritual Artifact, the hilt A special spiritual power mechanism is installed at the place, so it can fully adapt to the flow of spiritual power. You inject ten percent of the spiritual power, and it will give you twelve percent of the damage.”

“And you What about this crossbow? Old man can see that it is a mechanical crossbow that can also be used by an ordinary person. It does not take into account the circulation of spiritual power, but it needs the material of the spiritual weapon class, which is simply reckless waste of natural resources!”

“Because it does not have a spiritual power mechanism installed, it cannot increase the spiritual power you injected, so this crossbow just relies on the material of the spiritual weapon class itself to attack, the damage will of course be higher than Ordinary crossbows are taller, but far less than these serious Spiritual Artifacts!”

Hearing this, Roy already fully understood what John meant.

As expected of a famous blacksmith from Sidonia, it only took a few minutes to sharply point out the contradictions in this crossbow.

Simply put, this compound crossbow is a contradiction between modern science and fantasy power.

There was no “magic” in the previous life, and the formidable power and winding speed of the crossbow could only be enhanced through delicate mechanical structures.

In this world, there is a “spiritual power” that cannot be explained by modern science. Many functions that require complex mechanical structures can be realized. Here, only a relatively simple spiritual power mechanism can easily achieve better performance. Effect.

In the past six months, he has been thinking about how to reproduce the modern composite crossbow of the previous life, but didn’t expect that as an inheritor, he already has a better understanding of weapons.

Modern composite crossbows only rely on their own mechanical energy to cause damage, but in this world, spiritual power crossbows with spiritual power as the main source of power will do far more damage than composite crossbows!

This was a path he hadn’t envisioned.

“So my thinking was wrong from the very beginning?”

Roy was a little stunned, and muttered to himself, “My hard work in the past six months is actually doing It’s useless…”

“It’s not really.” John looked at his lonely expression and shook his head,

“The mechanical structure of this crossbow is really ingenious. Mechanical parts can significantly improve the performance of the bow and crossbow. If it is properly modified and the spiritual power mechanism is added, the crossbow will do more damage than the same level of spiritual power crossbows!”

“Can be modified!? “Roy’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Of course you can, who do you think the old man is?” John touched the long beard with a complacent expression on his face.

Roy immediately bowed his head respectfully: “As expected of Master John, who is well-known in Sidonia, please guide me!”

John’s face couldn’t help showing a smile.

He has been a blacksmith for more than 40 years, and he has received numerous merits and praises since he became famous, but the flattery of the boy in front of him still makes him extremely useful.

He was just thinking about the blueprint carefully, and the delicate mechanical structures in it all fascinated him for a while.

He has been studying the application of spiritual power mechanisms in weapons all his life, but he never thought that weapons with purely mechanical structures also have so much proven mystery and charm.

He showed Roy an unimagined path, and why didn’t Roy open the door to the New World for him?

This kid may be a genius.

And being able to get the respect of a genius is undoubtedly a good mood.

even more how he is also an inheritor. If he can keep this ingenuity, his future achievements may be limitless.

So, John no longer held the shelf, but sat directly next to Roy and explained in detail to the blueprint:

“In Sidonia, there are almost only shooter jobs. The inheritors will use the Spiritual Artifact of the bow and crossbow series. Among them, “Divine Shooter” and “elf” mainly use bows. Although “Hunter” uses crossbows, it is the kind of continuous fire crossbow that emphasizes the speed of fire and mobility, and has an effective range. Only about 50 meters. ”

“However, the same is true. Although the strong crossbow you designed is used for long-distance sniping, you can refer to the “Hunter” burst crossbow in the use of the spiritual power mechanism… …”

“…For example, this mechanical structure can be replaced with a spiritual power mechanism, and in this respect, the spiritual power mechanism can play a better role…”

“… …This mechanical structure is very clever and can be retained. After enchanting, the formidable power of the shot bolts will be higher…”

“…”

In this way, the two People discussed the blueprint enthusiastically for hours.

In the middle, Henry served lunch, but they didn’t move at all, and they were completely immersed in the world of transforming crossbows.

Until the afternoon, the two finally finalized all the production details of this composite crossbow.

Accurately speaking, this is no longer a modern composite crossbow in the traditional sense, but mixed with a fantasy style. The spiritual power compound crossbow.

“What a lesson today, thank you, Master John. “Roy stood up and took a bow.

His bow was sincere. He used to work behind closed doors, which led to the development of blueprints.

And John is The famous blacksmith in Sidonia, as a “Magic Blade” inheritor, also has a deeper understanding of Spiritual Artifact.

One day of face-to-face communication with him is more useful than sitting at home reading ten books.

“Your name is Roy, isn’t it?”

John patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “Old man remembered your name, if you figure out something later Interesting things, you can come and find me in the store.”

To be able to say this means that Roy has received his initial approval.

Harvey was happy for Roy too.

Although he could hardly understand what the two of Roy were talking about during the discussion, since both of them were happy afterwards, it meant that he had succeeded in helping them out today.

“Because the production process of this crossbow is more complicated, the price will be more expensive than Spiritual Artifact of the same grade, when the time comes you receive the bill, don’t blame the old man for raising the price, then go outside Ruining my reputation!”

John joked with Roy as he parted.

Roy couldn’t help but smirk and glanced at Harvey, who was yawning.

It doesn’t matter, a Young Lord will pay for today’s bill anyway.
