Li Qi immediately entered the workshop.

As expected, there was a mortar placed in the alchemy workshop, but there was no gun carriage, just sitting alone in the corner.

"Have you tried it?" Li Qi asked Betty who was busy working.

Betty nodded: "The direction is difficult to control, but if you use magic to control the burning direction, you can be very accurate."

"How accurate is it?"

"Do you want to try it?"

“Of course I have to try it!”

Li Qi, Betty and Zina left the alchemy workshop carrying cannons and solid cannonballs.

The advantage of choosing this area is reflected. No matter how you experiment, it will not disturb the people and is deserted enough.

After Zhui Na put the simple gun mount in place, Li Qi put down the cannon.

This is a gunpowder smoothbore cannon made by Betty, and of course it is front-loaded.

Without a gun carriage, if you weren't an extraordinary person, you wouldn't be able to carry this 600-pound piece of iron.

Set off gunpowder and solid cannonballs.

Of course, with Betty's research characteristics, it was impossible to reserve a lead port, she just wanted to activate magic.

As long as it is produced, Li Qi will not delve into this issue. The rest can be slowly improved and studied in the future.

After roughly aiming at the mountains of Pig Ridge Valley, Li Qi recited a spell.

ignition!

boom!

The artillery fired violently, and the rising muzzle spewed thick smoke, and then an iron ball shot into the sky with a violent burst of sound.

High arc trajectory.

Unfortunately, it did not hit the mountain in the Pig Back Valley, but fell to the ground.

The range is only a few miles, which is too close.

But using it in siege warfare is a kind of crushing for this era.

Li Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Continue research and development. If you need anything, just ask!"

He looked at Betty and asked, "Have you ever thought about training a group of apprentices?"

Even if you don't have explosive talent, you can innovate and improve some minor problems when you have more people. However, his proposal was eventually rejected by Betty on the grounds that the gunpowder was not enough for her to squander alone, and she did not want to add others, and she did not like to take care of others.

.

After resisting the cannon back to the alchemy workshop, Li Qi left.

Li Qi spent most of the afternoon with Rocket. Rocket was getting closer and closer to an adult horse, and the time to fly on it would probably be much earlier than Li Qi and the groom expected.

"The training has been pretty good."

Li Qi looked at the cavalry training in the racecourse.

The horses are willing to listen to the training together and learn the instructions.

The cavalry also has a channel to communicate directly with their horses. This way that both parties can communicate and understand allows them to have an incomparable tacit understanding during training cooperation.

After all, ordinary cavalry training relies on running in and experience.

The training of the porcupine cavalry relies on cooperation. Not only people cooperate with horses, but horses also cooperate with people.

There was also Hippogriff Rocket standing by, patrolling like a king of horses, and the horses did not dare to disobey orders.

"Hey~"

"Bah!"

The desert mare wanted to get closer to the rocket, but was frightened by the rocket's loud voice and lowered her head.

Li Qi immediately raised his hand and lightly patted Rocket on the head: "You boy, be polite to others, do you know that you love your wife? I also expect it to help you generate a bunch of hot weapons!"

RPG, missile, Dongfeng, the names are simply inexhaustible, it all depends on the specific combat effectiveness of the rocket.

"Cuckoo~" Rocket cooed.

"That's not okay," Li Qi said: "It just wants to play with you, don't bully others with low IQs."

It is indeed helpless. Rocket's IQ is even higher than that of some humans, and he is very smart.

Although the Desert Horse is a war horse, there is still a huge gap in IQ between the Desert Horse and Rocket. It is understandable that Rocket dislikes the Desert Horse. The reason can be summed up in one sentence: its IQ is low, and I don’t want to play with fools.

Li Qi had to emphasize for the Rockets how heavy the burden was on its shoulders.

"The task of revitalizing the Hippogriff family depends entirely on you," Li Qi said, "And my Hippogriff Cavalry also needs you."

"Gugu?" Rocket tilted his head.

The latter sentence seems very problematic to me.

"When you grow up, you will understand." Li Qi patted Rocket on the head and pointed at the horses being trained: "Look at them, they have all been gelded. Your own can still be used, shouldn't you be happy?

?”

"Goo!"

"Yes, don't worry, I won't gelding you. Not only that, I will try my best to marry you a mare." Li Qi comforted Rocket and said, "You don't like the exotic scenery of the desert? Do you like the wild north? Otherwise

The gentleness of Dongxia? Or the petiteness of Giant’s feet?”

"Cuckoo"

"The kid hasn't grown up yet, forget it, I won't be so anxious now."

In the evening, Hawkwood claimed that he was not feeling well and did not dare to come to dinner at all, probably because he was afraid of being drunk by Kuai Jian again.

Li Qi didn't force it, he just had food delivered to Hawkwood's room.

It's a pity for Kuai Ren that there are no guests present, so he can only drink some beer.

Li Qi went to night school again and the effect this time was much better than before.

Even though he could probably understand part of the lectures given by Thomas Scholar, the off-topic problem was still not solved.

"Everyone is working hard. If we really can't train qualified people after a while, then we can select some talents from among them and put them to work."

In Porcupine Collar, he is proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, can write some simple common words, and can barely read and write. He is a talent.

Only after you become a talent can you do some high-paying and not tiring work.

Making some people willing to learn is Li Qi's goal.

After daybreak, Hawkwood and Li Qi, who were completely rested, left the Porcupine Territory together.

Li Qi had previously promised Hawkwood to solve the ghost problem in the Sancha River Mine. Li Qi did not bring many people with him this time. Even with a large number of people, he could not solve the ghost problem. He only brought his followers, the corpse ghost Aina and

The wight necromancer Ayame.

At the same time, he still kept in touch with the Water Fairy.

Three Fork River Castle did not exceed Li Qi's mental range, and he could always keep in touch with the Water Fairy.

Needless to say, there was no need to talk about the problem of traveling. The group rode fast horses and did not stop during the journey, but it still took a long time to arrive at Three Fork River Fort.

As soon as they arrived at Sanchahe Fort, Lin Sen's family came out to greet him.

Agnes looked at Li Qi with a particularly bright smile, and Li Qi smiled back.

"Let's forget about the banquet for now," Li Qi said to Hawkwood: "It's not too late to celebrate after the mine problem is solved."

Hawkwood thought so too.

"How to solve it?" he asked, knowing nothing about the world of extraordinary beings.

Li Qi said: "Bring the body to me first."

Hawkwood immediately ordered: "Find the bodies of the slaves who died in the mine immediately."

"Father, the body has been disposed of," Steven whispered.

Plague will occur if corpses are left unprocessed for a long time. Even if the weather is cold now, it is difficult to guarantee whether slaves who died of strange causes will cause other problems.

It's like...a devil's curse.

"What about the slaves who saw ghosts?"

"I'll bring them right away."

A group of slaves were brought to Li Qi. They knelt on the ground and kept shouting: "Bless the four gods, bless the four gods!"

"Did you see a ghost?" Li Qi asked.

"Yes, sir." A slave nodded: "We saw a white shadow, it rushed to the toes, and then the toes died."

Toes should be one of the slaves.
