Chapter 261 Chapter 231 Strong Support

Everything in the secret passage was re-sealed by Du Wei.But those corpses... the metallic bones, but Du Wei suppressed his nausea and handed these things to Gargamel. "You are responsible for cleaning these things...then we will study and study." After coming out of the secret passage, Gargamel led Du Wei to the reserve warehouse. After Gilliat City was transformed into a factory, the main product here is the pure fire element invented by Solskjaer-"Gunpowder". This is something extracted from the fire phosphorous grass as the main raw material.At present, Du Wei has specially opened up a sealed shed in the city to plant fire phosphorus.Fortunately, this magical plant has tenacious vitality, and the arid place in the northwest is also particularly suitable for the growth of this plant.

Under Du Wei's instruction, Solskjaer broke down the method of refining fire phosphorus into several different procedures and handed them over to the slaves below.In this way, the output and efficiency are greatly improved, and at the same time, the different program steps are decomposed, and the secrets of production will not be leaked, because unless all the programs are brought together... otherwise, if they are taken out separately, even these hands-on procedures will not be revealed. The workers who operate do not know what they are making. The reserve warehouse is buried underground, because the refined gunpowder is a dangerous thing, especially a large amount of high-purity fire element. Although it is sealed in clay pots, the fire element in this world is higher than the concentration of gunpowder that Du Wei knew in his previous life. , is even more dangerous, if the reserve is not good, a little spark will cause disaster.Therefore, it is the best choice to bury it in the ground and avoid direct sunlight.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, the cellar was full of clay pots. These dark clay pots were crudely made, but Du Wei didn't care about them.His expression was cautious, slightly nervous. If a little accident happened here and caused a fire... in the midst of tons of gunpowder, even a great magician would be blown up to the point that not even a bone was left! "I made a wire according to your request." Gargamel opened a box in the corner: "After many experiments, the vine of the fallen flower is the most suitable wire. It is naturally dry and easy to catch fire, and it is very stable. .I tried the cotton thread you mentioned, but that kind of thing is easy to get wet. But this flower vine of the fallen flower is different, even if you throw it into the water, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Gargamel said with a smile, "I can imagine... what it would be like when such a clay pot was plugged with flower vines, lit one end, and thrown far into the enemy's camp." But Gargamel frowned and said, "It's just, how far can this thing be thrown? Unless it's a strong man... If you don't need someone to throw it, what are you going to do? Use a catapult? But the catapult is very unstable. If there is an accident in the process, then you will blow up your own people!" Du Wei smiled: "Why do you have to vote? Can't you just throw it from the sky?"

After a pause, he looked at the clay pots piled up almost to the ceiling in the warehouse, and then said, "Now take me to those... brooms." ... The flying broomstick is currently the most expensive magic equipment produced in this factory in Gilliat! Because the invention of the old lunatic Ali Ke, although it has subversive significance... But in fact, it still inherits the consistent characteristics of this old lunatic's invention - flashy! To put it simply, every time this guy invents something, it is used as a substitute for a certain rare substance... But the things he invents are often more expensive and rare than the original products!

The same goes for brooms. Although this kind of broom can store magic power without any magic crystals...it is already epoch-making and subversive.But the problem lies in the broom itself! This kind of flying broom can't be made by just tying up any dead branches!Fifty year old walnut must be used!Everyone knows that on the Roland Continent, walnut trees are extremely rare trees... I don't know if it's because of some hidden biological rules. The world is extremely rare, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate. Walnut, especially fifty-year-old walnut, is the best material for storing magic power besides magic crystals, so this kind of thing is usually used to make high-quality wands-even wealthy magicians, Few people can afford this pure walnut wand!Because fifty-year-old walnut trees are so rare!

What's more, the walnut wood used to make the broomstick is not ordinary walnut wood.According to Elric's invention, he actually creatively adopted various techniques of synthesis and grafting...Grafting techniques were very common in Du Wei's previous life, but they are rare in this world. Old Aili could use the technique of grafting to produce a mutated variety of walnut tree. Du Wei happened to get a few seedlings from the old Aili at the beginning. And it's also because of this reason... Seth, this magical genius who had talked with Du Wei about cultivating compound walnut trees, no one in the magic union appreciated him, but Du Wei saw his preciousness at a glance!

Because it is impossible for Du Wei to recruit the distinguished master Alik to specially prepare this mixed variety of mutated walnut trees, then Seth is the only best candidate! From this point of view, this genius with a big head is hard to find! ... The cultivation of this mutated variety made Seth very troubled, and the survival of the seedlings was a huge problem...Even with the time-lapse spring, every time they were cultivated, there were nine out of ten deaths.It can be said that the time lapse spring in Du Wei's hand, Seth's place is definitely the biggest black hole in consumption.

In another reserve warehouse, Gargamel eliminated a magic circle outside, carefully opened the door and took Du Wei in. "These things are really piled up with time-passing spring water! If you calculate according to the market price... every broom, just this kind of mutated walnut wood itself, is at least more than 100,000 gold coins! Damn... …What are you doing with so many broomsticks? You might as well get more flying cloaks.” Du Wei smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The development process of any new technology always consumes the most... But it's much better now, isn't it?"

Gargamel was silent for a while before agreeing with Du Wei's statement: "Yes, at the beginning, cultivating this mutant plant was the most troublesome, but after many experiments and wasting a lot of spring water, we finally found a The most delicate balance point, the efficiency is much higher afterwards. It will cost much less to manufacture this thing in the future.” "So, on average, the cost of a broomstick is still lower than that of a flying cloak made of magic crystals." Du Wei sighed. In the room, the wall is a row of beautiful shelves, on which hang rows and rows of... brooms.

The dark red walnut wood glowed faintly in the small room, and the handles of each broom were carved extremely delicately and smoothly, with thin patterns engraved on them... These are the patterns of the wind magic circle. "These wind magic circles are drawings made by myself, and then handed over to a group of engraving craftsmen, who carved them on the handle step by step. Don't worry, what those craftsmen got is just a broom handle. No one knows what this thing is. ……broom." Finally, Gargamel fumbled from his bosom for a long time, and took out a piece of parchment, which was densely packed with various data, and handed it to Du Wei. "This is the final data of the final test of this batch of products. Both Solskjaer and Dorset have tested the flight, and the effect is good... It's just that Solskjaer is a fool. His brain is very smart, but the actual operation His skills are so poor that he almost broke his neck... In fact, this thing is very easy to manipulate, as long as you know how to ride a horse, you can ride this thing and fly into the sky." Du Wei glanced at the final result in his hand. Du Wei was very satisfied with the development of the broomstick.At present, due to the limited materials and the exhaustion of the spring water with the passage of time, only fifty brooms were finally produced in the first batch.According to the test flight, the wind magic array depicted on each broom has a strong efficiency.There is a small pattern of a hexagram on the head of the handle of the broom. As long as you ride on the broom, hold the part of the hexagram in your hand, and inject magic power, a magic circle can be triggered. The current flying broomstick can carry the weight of about two adult men. In terms of speed, the maximum speed is almost twice as fast as that of a horse, and the duration of flight... depends on how long your magic power can last. "Solskjaer's useless man can hold on to a meal." that's enough. Solskjaer's real strength is just a magic apprentice. ... "My lord, do you really want to do this?" Standing on the top of the city, Knight Robert's face was a little ugly. But Du Wei in front of him had a firm expression, and it didn't look like he was joking at all. "But...the wound on your body..." "Dear Robert Knight, don't forget, I am a magician." Du Wei stretched his body casually: "For a magician, this kind of injury is not difficult to treat. And... I have to go out!" "It's too dangerous!" Robert still strongly objected: "You are now bearing the fate of everyone. You are our coach and the flag. If something happens to you...I can hardly imagine the consequences! In fact, Last night, if I had been there, I would have prevented you from doing so alone!" Du Wei sighed and pointed to the city. The sun had already risen high, and under the sunlight, the continuous tents of the prairie people looked more clearly. People shouted and neighed. If Du Wei used the eagle eye technique, he could even see the prairie warriors sitting in the camp sharpening their knives! "Last night, my sneak attack worked. I killed a shaman...and made their momentum drop. But the grassland people will never retreat easily when they come to attack this time. Just wait and see, at the latest After lunch, they will regain their vitality and will make a comeback." Du Wei said with a worried look on his face: "Robert, you know how much money we have, and our entire army is only more than 20,000 people... And most of them are scattered all over the place, our cavalry has only 3,000 in total! 3,000 people, do you think that under normal circumstances, they can overwhelm 20,000 prairie wolves? Can they overwhelm these guys who are born on horseback? We need rare soldiers! Therefore, I have to go out... to defeat the enemy." After a pause, Du Wei smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I killed their shaman last night. When I went out, I went up and down, and the prairie people couldn't stop me." But Robert said: "My lord, what I am worried about is not that you are intercepted! What I am worried about is that you will go to battle in person! As the coach, you should not be on the front line! This is not the responsibility of the coach! I hope you stay in the city. Here, stay in the Governor's Palace!" Du Wei didn't argue with Robert on this issue anymore, he simply gave the order: "At the latest in the evening, you must light a pile of flames at the top of the city, and I can see the fire and black smoke from ten miles away! Are you staying? In the evening, as long as you light the beacon, I guarantee you will receive strong support! And what you have to do is to ensure that the tulip flag is still erected on the city wall before evening!" After finishing speaking, Du Wei's body floated up slightly. Robert sighed, made a knight etiquette to Du Wei, and watched Du Wei fly away into the sky. ... Du Wei's calculation was very accurate. When he flew from the top of the city and passed over the camp of the prairie people, many prairie cavalry found Du Wei in the sky. However, after the sneak attack last night, the sun in broad daylight Under the circumstances, the prairie people took precautions, and some of the most elite strong archers immediately drew their bows and shot at the sky.These strong archers on the prairie claimed to be able to shoot down eagles with one arrow, and their archery skills were so good that even Du Wei had no choice but to raise his altitude, so he flew over quickly. He exhausted his magic power last night. After the magic power in the five-colored stone ring is exhausted, it cannot be replenished in such a short period of time. At this moment, the magic power he has recovered is only 50% to 60% of his own.It is really unable to launch a large-scale thunder call anymore. In the opposite direction of the city, Du Wei went all the way. "What did the Tulip Duke do?" The head guard of the golden wolf stood under his tent, watching Du Wei go away with a gloomy face. This tall giant stood on the ground and was more than two heads taller than his companions. "Master Wei, maybe he ran away." A prairie man sneered, "There are not many people in the city, and we will be able to break through the city wall sooner or later." "Idiot." The head guard of the golden wolf curled his lips, and Yin Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of determination: "He must be going to bring in reinforcements! Hmph...send four centurions to search the rear and step up their guard. And... ...get your warriors ready now, the gates must be breached today before dark!! Anyway, the shaman is dead in our army... Lost a noble shaman, think about it , What kind of punishment will we get when we go back? Only by recklessly taking down this city can we have a chance to ask the king for mercy!" The humming horn sounded, and the prairie warriors heard the order and lined up to fight!Under the sunlight, Knight Robert standing at the top of the city looked at the prairie people densely packed like ants below the city. Those scimitars shone dazzlingly cold under the sunlight! "Persevere till evening!" Robert suddenly pulled out his long sword, slashed it on the battlement in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Hold on!!" The soldiers and lieutenants around him all drew their long swords, and everyone shouted at the same time: "Long live Tulip!! People are in the city!!" ... Du Wei flew seven or eight miles in the direction he came from, then lowered his altitude and carefully looked for his team. Finally, beside a low and loose forest, someone saw Du Wei above the sky, ran out immediately, and waved his hands vigorously at Du Wei in the sky.Du Wei lowered his altitude and saw clearly that it was Zig, the captain of the magic students. The 800 people Du Wei brought were hiding in the woods. They listened to Du Wei's order and retreated all the way here to prevent being discovered by the wolf cavalry scouts of the prairie people. Du Wei fell to the ground, and Zieg was relieved to see that Du Wei was intact: "Master Dean! It's great to see you safe! It's just that you didn't let us wait here in Gilliat City Is there a flame signal in the direction? Why are you here in person?" Du Wei patted Zig on the shoulder: "There is no time to explain!" With that said, Du Wei followed him into the woods. In the woods, the cavalry of Tulip's family dismounted and sat on the ground, but everyone was on guard, and some people climbed up the trees and observed the distance from a distance.Although this piece of woods is relatively sparse, it is enough to hide thousands of people. Du Wei saw Gaida's little two hundred and five, this guy had a dusty face, saw Du Wei immediately rushed up, hugged Du Wei, and shouted: "My lord! My lord! It's great that you are here! Hell! I really wanted to kill these guys just now! How dare you let you enter the city alone! This is too risky!!" Next to him was Al Qaeda's lieutenant general, who was in charge of leading the team when Al Qaeda was ordered to move reinforcements, but judging by his appearance, there was blood on the corner of his mouth, obviously he had been severely taught by Al Qaeda. "Okay Al Qaeda! I'm the one who wants to go in, and it has nothing to do with them." Du Wei smiled: "Your subordinates are all excellent fighters. a shaman." As he spoke, Du Wei immediately asked, "What about you? When did you arrive? Did you bring all of our people?" "No, my lord." Gaida said with shame on his face, "I only found the 800 people led by Lord Alpha...I didn't find the other two teams, General Longbottom and the others...Time is too tight, I can't Run farther, and...you asked me to get here today. So..." Gaida suddenly knelt down on one knee: "I didn't fulfill your order, please punish me!" Du Wei shook his head: "I didn't consider the actual situation when I ordered it. It's already very rare for you to bring back a team. Alpha Knight?" When Du Wei looked around for Alpha's chief guard, he didn't find Alpha. "He...he heard that you entered the city by yourself. He was furious. He broke away from the large army alone and went to the front to find out the news." Du Wei's heart skipped a beat, Uncle Alpha... he was really worried about himself.But with Alpha's strength, there shouldn't be any danger in inquiring for news. Time was running out, and Du Wei was about to say something, but Gaida suddenly whispered: "My lord...Although I didn't find the other two teams, I brought some... guests." "guest?" Gaida winked, and Du Wei immediately looked into the depths of the forest. Sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers wearing different armors. The armor of the local garrison is also embroidered with the pattern of thorn flowers on the chest. In fact, Du Wei's army is nothing more than the family's private army, and these people are the real imperial army. "What's going on?" Du Wei was a little surprised, because these guys seemed to be quite a number, roughly five or six hundred. "They are the team under Governor Bohan of Nulin Province." Al Qaeda replied in a low voice. Du Wei raised his eyebrows.
