Chapter 596 Fireworks and Gifts (Five Thousand)
ps: I bowed to my book friends "Bright Moon Eye", "Ckey_lee", "jht121", "Shadow Sniper", and "Haddes" for their rewards.
ps: Well, thank you for your concern, the cat is getting much better.^_^
To be honest, the reason why I wrote down all the rewards recently today is because the raccoon was a little embarrassed. I took everyone's rewards, especially the biggest one in the book "Bright Moon Eye" children's shoes, but I was ashamed.
Fortunately, my health is much better now, so tomorrow will be updated three times.
Thanks again ~!
In the early morning, the Great Wilderness Imperial City was as stable as yesterday.
The snowflakes slowly floated, the shop doors were open, and the road was coming and going, making a lot of noise. From time to time, you can see tough children falling shirtlessly in the snow on the roadside, with fierce postures. Occasionally, you can see some Bran people wearing wide hats and cautious postures passing by in a hurry...
For a normal day, at least the people in the imperial city think so. If you have to say what's different, it seems that you rarely see the powerful and powerful children who usually wear bright clothes and sway over the market today.
Of course, this is a good thing, and no one wants them to come out and be domineering.
However, what the people don’t know is that those powerful and powerful children who are usually arrogant and domineering are now banned from home and are strictly prohibited from going out. The entire powerful class that usually needs to be looked up to is now like a pool of stagnant water, solemn and trembling.
As mentioned before, the circle of powerful people in the imperial city is very small, and if it were not for deliberately covering it up, there would be almost no secrets between them. In the library last night, many powerful children were present. After their birds and beasts disperse, the news naturally spread quickly.
That Bran man again?
This was the first reaction of many big names after seeing the news and was shocked. Then the entire circle began to become lively. Of course, most of the content discussed was speculation about how the Brandman would die?
Originally, although the previous families were not weak, their strength and foundation were not strong. After all, the Brand saved His Highness Lansha's life. He was kind to the royal family. This was the case with the truth and reason. The final result was that, although it was a bit exaggerated, it was not unexpected.
But this time it is different. The Crazy Eagle Tribe is not comparable to those families with no foundation. In addition, it has always been domineering. No one would think that the royal family will risk the situation of getting along with the Crazy Eagle Tribe and help the ignorant Branman stand up.
This has nothing to do with kindness, but with interests!
The situation that happened next seemed to indicate this. When the "Son of the Crazy Eagle" Lanbit, who was waiting in a high-end place, saw the dying subordinate who was being carried in, especially the five broken fingers wrapped, Thunder was instantly furious. He ignored Tago, the heir of the Hidden Snake Tribe who was still present at the time. He lost his image and destroyed most of the high-end places and left.
It doesn’t matter if high-end places are smashed, because that is the industry of the Mad Eagle Tribe. However, behind such a huge loss of image, it is actually a clear message to the outside world, especially to the royal family - I was very angry this time, so the Bran must die, don’t interfere!
This is a greeting in advance and also a step forward for the royal family.
The situation became clear when it developed here. Although Lambit could not represent the entire Mad Eagle Tribe, as his heir, he was just a Bran, and the royal family would not even give him such face.
However, the situation suddenly changed, which made the powerful and powerful senior officials who were watching the fun dumbfounded and could not come back to their senses for a long time. It turned out that before Lanbit was ordered to kill people to the residence of Bran, the royal family actually sent someone to negotiate and tried to protect the Bran's life!
The negotiation scene between the two sides was unknown to outsiders, but the royal guards who immediately went to the Bran's residence showed the royal family's determination this time in a high-profile and strong manner. Of course, it can be seen from this point that the situation of the first negotiation between the two sides was not very good.
At this point, all the powerful and powerful people in the imperial city lost their voices. They did not understand why the royal family had to protect the Bran. At the same time, they did not know how the Crazy Eagle Tribe would react. Therefore, they could only restrain all their actions as much as possible, so as not to suffer from the disaster of the fish in this special time.
...
However, no matter how the outside world ferments, Tang En, who is in the craftsman's office, will not be distracted to think. And to be honest, he has no time to think about it now...
Boom... Not too loud the explosion sounded, the fire was flashing and the smoke was rolling. As soon as Matthew Man, holding several pots of pots, he was shocked by the waves of air coming to his face and directly stuck to the wall of the corridor outside the door. The starlight flashed in front of him, and the pot in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Then, "Cough cough...cough cough..." Suddenly, a black shadow still smoking jumped out of the thick smoke, holding the wall, bent down and coughing continuously, tears and snot flying, and it was so embarrassing.
Matthewman was startled and took a few steps back in a hurry, looked up and down before asking uncertainly: "Uh... are you Ah, Arthur?"
"Or what..." Rolling your eyes speechlessly, OK, Tang En's eyes and teeth are now white, and the rest of his body is pitch black, like a crow.
"Scared, why are you like this?"
Wave your hand, "Ahem, it's nothing, it's just a small mistake."
A small mistake...Matthewman turned his head and looked at the laboratory where smoke was still rolling, his eyes twitching, and his face was speechless.
"Bah!" Spit off the unknown residue beside his mouth. Tang En looked at the laboratory that was destroyed in an instant, grinning as if he was tooth pain, muttering in his heart, "One sulfur, two nitrile, three charcoal... I remember the teacher taught this before, right? Why did it explode when I got here?
That's right, Tang En is indeed making black gunpowder, which is the best weapon he can imagine to get rid of large-scale pursuits.
In fact, the level of alchemy in this area of the other world is already good. The explosive crystal is more stable and powerful than this simple black gunpowder. This is why Tang En had never thought about making black gunpowder before, but due to the current situation, he, a foreigner, would not be able to get explosive crystals for a while, so he could only find a way to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.
Of course, gunpowder has not been easily touched since ancient times, let alone the folklore developed in front of him. That is, Tang En is not an ordinary person, otherwise the explosion just now would have been reimbursed several times.
After patting the black and gray body, Tang En asked calmly: "Old Ma, does the Craftsman Institute have a larger room? It doesn't have to be a laboratory, as long as the area is large enough."
"Uh...you want to try again?"
"certainly!"
Shaking his head speechlessly. Matthewman said helplessly: "Okay, I know a suitable place. It was originally a warehouse where materials were stacked, but it was abandoned later. I'll find the key for you."
Matthew Man is now the regional leader, so of course he still has this right. From this point of view, Tang En's previous push to the position was undoubtedly a very correct decision. This lack of reward will come immediately.
The abandoned warehouse was located in a remote corner. When passing by the gate of the Craftsman's Office, Tang En turned his head and looked outside. His eyes were full of royal guards, patrolling back and forth, surrounding the Craftsman's Office.
Obviously, even if Lansha intervenes, so far, Lanbiet has no plans to stop.
"Tsk tsk, Isn't it just that I cut five fingers? As for being so excited?" Tang En teased without any psychological pressure.
Since he learned the antidote information, Tang En knew how long he could not stay in this imperial city. To prevent the night from being too long, it was best to leave earlier, the safer it would be. So as long as he didn't mess with the existence of Bamutu, Tang En wouldn't take it seriously at all.
What, the Mad Eagle Tribe?
Haha... The strength of the Mad Eagle Tribe is indeed very strong, but this is the Northern Wilderness Imperial City, which belongs to the territory of the Tianlang Royal Family, so in fact, the personnel that Lambit can mobilize are those who come into the city with him. As for the powerful Mad Eagle Tribe, it is still far away thousands of miles away. It cannot pose any threat to him at all.
On the other hand, if the master around Lanbit is the same as the old man in blue before, and Tang En was annoyed and determined to assassinate him, then it is hard to say who died first in the end...
After passing all possible threats in my heart, Tang En felt more at ease and immediately put aside these thoughts. As Matthew Man came to the abandoned warehouse.
When I opened the rusty iron door, except for a few inches of dust, it was empty inside, but fortunately the area was large enough and it fully met the requirements for making black gunpowder.
Seeing this, Tang En was happy and called many apprentices to bring saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and black pots as containers. Then hesitated for a moment, drove everyone away, closed the door and studied alone.
To be honest, Tang En was a little moved by Lan Sha's clear attitude in these two things. After calming down, he thought about the antidote. It was a battle of wits and courage, and he could not blame others even if he had a move.
Although both sides now have their own needs, it is natural to say which one telescope is more important than a possible feud with the Crazy Eagle Tribe.
However, even so, Tang En did not dare to leave the formula of black gunpowder in the Northern Wilderness after thinking about it. This thing is different from a telescope. Although it is a bit simple and rough, to a certain extent, it is a killer that can truly change the existing combat pattern.
After all, there are still many smart people in the other world, and there is a complete alchemy system. Once they have this simple black gunpowder formula, it is really hard to say what may be born from this...
It is precisely because of this that Tang En drove away Matthewman and many apprentices who were to stay for help.
It is undoubtedly much slower to do research by one person. Fortunately, after being bombed once, Tang En also had some experience, and the subsequent development work seemed much smoother.
Finally, ten minutes later, with a dull sound in the empty warehouse, the first clay pot bomb was successfully tested. Its power was not very strong. If it was not within three feet of the surrounding area, there would be basically no casualties.
This result is normal. The reason why those bombs in this world are very powerful is that in addition to the raw materials, there are also built-in steel balls and iron sheets. Once they explode, these steel balls and iron sheets will shoot out in all directions, reaching real range damage.
Time is tight, and the first time I made black gunpowder, Tang En still didn't add any ingredients after thinking about it. However, although he did not use the concept of the present world, Tang En used a small thing from another world - a plant berries of soybeans, which would produce a slight explosion when gently kneading. Well, it was very slight. Even if you bite it open in your mouth, it would at most loosen your teeth, which was a prank thing.
But this inconspicuous little thing made Tang En feel ecstatic when he saw it. In a vague way, looking into the distance, through the warehouse gate, Tang En seemed to see the brilliant scene of the explosion of the imperial city and the flames soaring into the sky... I am really looking forward to it!
A whole day!
The royal guards were patrolling unremittingly, Lansha and Lanbit were constantly negotiating, and the upper-level circle of powerful people was carefully exploring various news. In the corner of this craftsman, Tang En filled one black pot after another in silence, his eyes were indifferent and persistent...
...
The next day, the abandoned warehouse was re-enclosed. No one knew that the mountains of black pots piled up in yesterday disappeared overnight.
Matthew Man vaguely knew something and was very curious, but he watched Tang En yawning and re-enter a laboratory. He wanted to speak but stopped several times, but he still couldn't ask.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Matthewman suddenly felt that this was a little different from his compatriots from Bran today. I can’t say it specifically. It was just a vague feeling that he seemed to be more relaxed and free and easy than before...
Of course, these speculations did not last long, they just turned around and threw them away.
At noon, seeing that Tang En had not come out, Matthewman came to the laboratory with some food, and before he could knock on the door, a voice came out first, "It's Mr. Ma, I'm just about to go find you... Haha, come in, the door is not locked."
Matthewman was stunned when he heard this. I hadn't entered yet, how could he know that it was me...shaking his head and pushing open the wooden door.
This is a new laboratory. It is also simple, with crystal ore residues piled in the corners of the walls being quite eye-catching. Tang En sat behind the laboratory bench, with a brown wooden box in front of him, and was chuckling and looking over.
"Arthur, this is lunch. I'll bring it for you when you haven't been out for a long time."
"Ha, thank you Mr. Ma." After taking the lunch, he put it aside. Tang En did not mean to start immediately, but instead waved his hand and greeted, "Come on, sit down. Mr. Ma, let's talk."
"Uh, okay." Matthewman sat on the chair with a look of inexplicable expression. Tang En said seriously without explaining, "Old Ma, although we have not known each other for a long time, I have been taking care of you these days. Thank you for your kindness."
Matthewman waved his hand hurriedly when he heard this: "What do you say? It is clear that I am taken care of by you. If it weren't for you, Arthur, I'm afraid that now..." He paused and seemed to realize something, "You mean, uh, would you leave? Is the royal family not protecting you? Then run quickly, yes, run now. Whatever I need to do is..."
"Haha..." He laughed and waved his hand to interrupt Matthewman who suddenly became flustered. Tang En shook his head, "Where has Mr. Ma thought about it? It's not like that. Well, I just thank you for your care these days and I just want to give you a small gift."
He breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh... It's fine, it's fine. Uh, what, a little gift?"
Tang En nodded, and then, without waiting for Matthew Man to refuse, pushed the brown wooden box in front of him: "It's this, it's not a valuable thing, Mr. Ma, don't dislike rejecting it."
He paused and continued, "Don't open it now, tsk, keep a little mysterious. Haha..." Matthewman laughed and shook his head: "Okay, since Arthur, you said that, I'm not polite. But when will this be opened?"
"When..." Tang En's mouth raised, and he turned around and pointed out the window behind the laboratory. "When many brilliant fireworks appear over the imperial city, you can open it. Well, it won't be too late."
"Uh..." Matthewman was stunned when he looked at the snowflakes outside the window, unable to understand the meaning of this sentence at all. However, before he could ask, Tang En suddenly looked up at the wooden door of the laboratory with his eyebrows slightly raised.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong, he buckled it three times, and without waiting for the people inside to respond, the wooden door was pushed open directly.
The tailored fox velvet long clothes are decorated with natural curves, which triggers endless imagination. The delicate facial features and a pair of plain-framed glasses are mounted on the bridge of the nose. This not only does not affect its overall temperament, but also adds a bit of intellectual heroism. It is Lansha, known as the pearl of the Northern Wilderness.
Tang En was not surprised. It was not a great skill to tell who it was from the sound of footsteps. Ordinary people can do it sometimes, so he naturally had no problem. He patted Matthew Man's shoulder and handed the brown wooden box to him. Then he looked up and smiled, "Oh, isn't this our beautiful Highness Lansha? Why did you come to my shabby laboratory today if you have time?"
Despite wearing glasses, Lansha still squinted her eyes habitually. She did not respond to Tang En's frivolous words, but turned her eyes to Matthewman. Seeing this, the latter dared not stay here for a long time. After saluting, she took the wooden door of the laboratory and left in a hurry.
"Have you eaten? I don't mind giving you half of it if I didn't eat it." said carelessly. Tang En did not salute, but instead took the lunch aside to prepare to start.
Lansha seemed to have gotten used to the deviant deeds of the guy in front of him, and stepped forward and sat in Matthewman's seat just now, frowned: "Can you get less trouble?"
"If you say this, you will be heartless. You know the specific situation. It's not my fault. Well, the sliced meat tastes good today. Are you sure you don't want to give me some?" Tang En didn't raise his head, and quickly used a fork to put the sliced meat into his mouth and kept chewing it.
Seeing this, Lansha's breathing showed signs of thickening, but then he let out a sigh of relief, as if he was too lazy to get entangled with Tang En anymore, and said, "The matter has been resolved, and the Mad Eagle Tribe will not cause trouble for you again. Lanbiet will come over later. You apologize to him in person, and this matter will be over."
When Tang En heard this, he looked up and licked his lips, without saying anything like "It's obviously not my fault, why do you want me to apologize?" You should know that reality is often not judged by axioms, but by strength!
He smacked his lips, "Tsk tsk, what price has it been paid?"
"You don't need to know this."
"So that, do you hate that Lambit?"
Lansha frowned: "Yeah?"
"Ha, you know." Tang En waved his knife and fork and spread his hands: "I have good strength, and to be honest, I used to be a killer, which is the so-called assassin. So, um, for everyone is acquaintances, I can give you a 10% discount to help you kill that annoying guy. Don't worry, no one knows, how about it?"
