Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 418: Fourth-level Gunsmith: Death Roulette!

It is no exaggeration to say that Byron's strength may only be equivalent to 2.3 blue in the fourth level, but his appearance is conservatively estimated to be at the sixth level of demigod, which is almost invincible in the mortal world!

However, after teasing the "succubus princess" with his tempting looks and making her itchy, he did not appear in Atahualpa's palace for several days.

The succubus princess was drooling with greed, but she waited and waited but Byron never came to her house to try out marriage.

I was so anxious that I felt like countless bugs were crawling all over my body, and the feeling became more and more intense as time went by.

The most painful thing in the world is not "the fallen flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is heartless", but "he is so close, yet so far away".

I couldn't help but send my maid to walk around the main hall entrance every hour.

But the answer received from the Fourth Prince was always that His Majesty the Lord of Heaven was preparing for the coronation ceremony at the Holy Lake and would be back soon.

The succubus has not yet been able to plant control measures on its target through in-depth communication, and it is helpless if it can't find anyone.

But every time I wake up in the middle of the night, saliva starts to flow out from my head to my body.

She wanted to find the captain of the guard, Xin Qiluoka, a fourth-order mythical creature, to vent her anger, but she didn't expect that this man was not only loyal but also trustworthy. He said he would withdraw from the trial wedding and he withdrew completely, and even refused her invitation to meet.

It also caused the guards stationed in her palace to suffer greatly, and each of them aged by more than ten years on average.

If it weren't for the fact that this succubus had seen all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas and found dry food difficult to swallow, those dozen guards would probably not survive the night.

In fact, Byron did not stay in the hot spring city of Cajamarca at all at this time.

That day, he amazed everyone with his skills in one battle and gained command of the coronation ceremony of the Four Princes. Then, he brought the Golden Deer back to the first scientific research base he invested in - the Sparrow Islands.

This was no longer land privately occupied by the colonists, but had been officially endorsed by Atahualpa, the Governor of Chinchasuyu, and the ownership of the entire "deserted island" was given to Byron.

"Atahuallpa was a similar person to me in some ways. When he found out that I could call the shots and serve as a surprise force to deal with other brothers, he immediately took the initiative to deepen the ties of interest.

The Sparrow Islands, which mainly consist of 13 small islands and 19 reefs with a total area of ​​more than 7500 square kilometers, were given away at will, which was much more generous than Edward IV.

As an earldom, the Taiman Islands are only 260 square kilometers, and it was exchanged for the territory of the mainland. I, the quasi-earl of Stromgarde, have never seen even a piece of land.

As a person who has seen the world, I can't help but say to Atahualpa: What a generous boss.

We are all masters, why is there such a big difference in how we behave?"

“Of course, if we can help Atahualpa become king, everything will be easy. Not to mention a mere island, even ports, leased territories, and fortresses within the empire can be acquired with just a few words.

It didn't matter that the Beagle's theft of the Sun's Crown was eventually exposed.

But if he lost his life in the fight for the throne, all his promises would be in vain.

This fourth-order mythical creature had to be promoted, and preferably before the coronation ceremony!
I don’t have much time left to prepare.”

Byron was wearing a white coat that was gradually becoming popular among the Bloodthirsty Cult and the Flayed Church, and was walking on this island where everything was exceptionally huge.

In the newly opened makeshift camp, many wooden houses built using black magic have already sprung up.

As early as a few days ago, Byron received the research and development plan drawn up overnight by the Bloodthirsty Cult's Kings, and allocated materials, funds and experimental sites.

Most of the great wizards of the Bloodthirsty Order and their apprentices have moved to the Sparrow Islands, a biological treasure trove with a thriving biodiversity, and have begun to concentrate on researching the mass production of rubber.

It provided industrial preparation for vulcanized rubber and whale oil powered steam engines.

By the way, I also became neighbors with Charles, a naturalist, and Louis, a Mr. No, who were doing biological research here.

When the two families are put together, they seem to be a perfect match.

"Oh, Creator! The pea hybridization experiment of the [Father of Medicine] is simply a revelation from God. It turns out that this is the fundamental reason for the shape change of organisms. It is really amazing.

Genes and heredity laws are exactly the internal causes of the adaptive evolution of species that I discovered, and my discovery is just a representation.

However, this genetic variation should be irregular, and may be better or worse, so there must be some kind of selection mechanism involved.

I want to write it all down.”

Byron listened to the noise coming from [Naturalist] Charles in the simple laboratory, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face:
“Although people are no longer the same as they were in the previous history, the twin walls of life sciences are still there.

I just wonder what changes the encounter between these two mutually complementary theories will bring to the Old Continent ruled by the Church?
In short, it is not what the traditionalists who have a grudge against my family want to see.

Sooner or later, when everyone pushes down on them, they will be shot in the back, um, in the name of the York family, hahahaha."

Go around a group of tripe mushrooms with cow tails and cow feet running around on the ground.

In front of Byron, there appeared another laboratory occupying a large area by itself. This was a more solid pure rock building, which belonged exclusively to the third-level gunsmith Violet.

Seeing the brass nameplate shining brightly in the sun, Byron felt relieved but also a little regretful:
“Violet is a craftsman, a [Witch of Disaster], water, and a Leviathan whale girl.

The whale oil-powered steam engine just happens to be able to integrate all her abilities, knowledge, and traits, and can be said to be a tailor-made creation.

If you can devote a year or two to research, it will be no problem to push it to the fifth level, let alone the fourth level.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one.

And my lovely gunpowder artist is essentially just a [craftsman] who does it out of interest.

Deep down, I am a more fanatical "firepower phobia patient" than I am, and I firmly believe that the greatest art is."

Boom——! ! !
With a loud bang and dazzling fire, the ground shook, smoke and dust rose in the stone laboratory, and a thick smell of gunpowder came out.

Although Byron knew that a low dose of ordinary gunpowder could not kill an inhuman witch, he still rushed over out of concern.

Before he rushed into the laboratory, he saw a beam of brilliant golden light suddenly projected from the sky, and his worry turned into joy:
"It's done!?"

The next second, Violet, with gunpowder ash still on her face, ran out holding a golden brass bullet about the length of a finger.

The little face was pitch black, but the sapphire-like eyes were full of energy:

“Byron, look, this is the first secondary relic fired from the barrel: the first metal fixed bullet.

My idea really worked!
Those large creatures in the southern continent are no longer an obstacle to the development of our Pioneer Colonial Trading Company."

Byron was equally ecstatic and started spinning around in circles while holding her.

A simple [Fulminate Mercury] primer is too sensitive and may accidentally explode in places where the source material tides fluctuate violently.

Violet had been experimenting with new gunpowder formulas by mixing the inert residue left after repeated distillation and purification of whale oil with fulminate of mercury in a certain proportion. Today, she had finally successfully developed a qualified primer and even the first copper-cased fixed-load bullet.

From the appearance, it is not much different from modern ammunition, but because of the use of black powder, the size is obviously much larger.

Its birth is of extraordinary significance.

Ever since the group arrived in the New World and saw the size of the insects and the endless stream of huge and extraordinary creatures, they immediately realized that ordinary flintlock rifles and lead bullets had no killing power at all against these monsters.

The danger of the Beast Paradise can be seen from the fact that the powerful Sun Empire can only occupy a corner.

The invention of this new weapon paved the way for humans to go deeper into the wilderness.

After all, how many extraordinary people are there? The power of countless mortals is the most powerful.

"If our army were to replace the percussion cap with fixed ammunition and equipped with tungsten steel bullets, and then equipped with six barrels, it would form a Gatling gun that could fire a thousand rounds per minute.

This is the standard equipment that every colonist and hunter in the southern continent should have."

Byron put his hero back on the ground, not caring about the relic first, but focusing on Violet.

With the success of her research, she has simultaneously completed the promotion to the fourth level, becoming the first King's Right Hand to be promoted to the fourth level in Byron's core team.

Violet's spirituality was completely defenseless against Byron, and even with the class suppression, the [Logbook] could see her clearly:
“The newly invented copper-cased fixed-charge projectile is a cutting-edge device that integrates physics, chemistry, materials science, aerodynamics, and technology.

It is both a product of civilization and a weapon that destroys civilization; it is a clarion call of disaster and a messenger of war.

This invention grants the fourth-level gunsmith an exclusive ability - [Spirit Magazine]!
The spirit is the "bullet" and the body is the "gun". It can simulate any known guns, cannons, bombs and other hot weapons out of thin air, and the power of the magic bullets fired is exactly the same as that of real guns and cannons.

Ability 1: [Gun Master]:
"Using one's own spirituality to transform into various kinds of magic bullets, the initial attack power is as terrifying as a ship-borne artillery bombardment.

You can freely give bullets and shells enchantment effects such as [Always Hit the Target], [Penetration], [Acceleration], [Power Multiplier], [Volume Multiplier], [Charge Strike], [Mark of Death], etc. "

The effect of this ability is similar to that of the Musketeer, which is equivalent to taking on an additional profession as a gunsmith.

Violet knew more types of [Disaster Spells] and could enchant a bullet with enough power to penetrate a dragon's scales within her acceptable range.

This ability alone is totally worth it.

Ability 2: [Guards: Gunnery Spirit]:
"Six gun spirits were born from six spirit shells.

They can attach themselves to bullets, guns, artillery and other hot weapons, achieving all kinds of incredible control, and even turning the corresponding weapons into monsters, becoming your most loyal guards! "

Violet raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Six conical yellow chickens wearing military caps and holding small muskets in their hands lined up in front of her.

"Cack!"

"Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck."

After counting in chicken language, they flapped their wings in salute. Violet returned the salute in silence, and soon figured out their abilities.

Take the example of a six-shot revolver.

Let them possess it, and just fire once, before the spiritual energy in the body is exhausted, you can bombard the target repeatedly until the opponent is smashed into pieces.

To Byron, this is the bullet version of swordsmanship.

For example, a large-caliber revolver like the [Briar Rose] can knock down a brown bear with just one shot. Even a fourth-level revolver would find it difficult to withstand several minutes of continuous shooting.

If it is possessed by heavy artillery, it will not be much different from a construct.

But it is inevitable that some people are greedy for more:

“It’s a pity that I can only possess guns and cannons. If I could possess warships, it would be equivalent to six ship spirits.

However, although sailing warships are not suitable, we may try it after we build steel battleships in the future.

The steel battleship as a whole should be considered a hot weapon, right?"

Ability 3: Ultimate Killer Move [Death Roulette]:
“Roulette is a bloody game of death.

Usually only one bullet is placed in each of the six slots of the revolver. After randomly rotating the revolver, the participants of the game take turns pointing the pistol to their heads and pulling the trigger.

Those who are hit will automatically withdraw, those who get stage fright will also lose, and the one who perseveres to the end is the winner. The audience places bets on the contestants, and the fun is all about the excitement.

The same goes for this derived ability, where the user's spiritual perception is blocked and the six magazines rotate randomly, shooting towards his own head.

Consequence 1: Blow your own head off on the spot, game over.

Consequence 2: If you fail to blow up your own head, you can choose to continue shooting at your own head, or attack the enemy. At this time, the power of any attack from your hand will be doubled.

If you continue to shoot yourself in the head and don't die, the power of the bullet will increase by 2 to the power of N, depending on how many times you have escaped death before.

If five consecutive shots don't kill him, the last shot can have 32 times the terrifying power.

It can almost turn an ordinary Tomahawk missile into the most powerful non-nuclear weapon - the father of bombs.

Even ordinary artillery bombardments of this era could break through the city with a devastating force, even though the walls of the bastion could hardly resist such power.

Note: Even if you are extremely lucky, you can only use 32 times the power once a day. Of course, this is more likely a skill that can only be used once in a lifetime."

After reading the ability introduction, Byron and Violet were excited.

Apart from the last roulette effect which is a bit hard to describe, the other two abilities have made Violet comparable to the old fourth-level in destructive power, or even better.

Then, the two looked at each other and nodded:
"You can start now."

soon.

The "Succubus Princess" who had been looking forward to it for a long time received an invitation from her trial marriage partner, who also made several mysterious requests to her and said that he wanted to give her a surprise.

As she looked at the items on the mountaineering checklist, such as the "golden rope that even extraordinary people can't break free of", her body couldn't help but tremble slightly:

"This, this. So the people of the northern Bantaan Islands play so big?"

Gradually, her cheeks turned red, her eyes became watery, and she let out a murmur that was almost a moan:

"What should I do? I feel even more excited!"
