Mage Joan

The firearms of the Valais world are not driven by gunpowder. The core components of the gun machine are a pair of parallel rails and an enchanting power supply. The power supply device is usually constant with a ring of arcane "electric claws", which immediately activates a high-voltage current after startup, making the energized guide rail and the bullet form a closed loop. The electromagnetic repulsion generated in the guide rail is used to push the bullet. After sufficient acceleration, it leaves the gun barrel and whistles. Out, the impact force is far stronger than ordinary crossbows, it is said that it can easily penetrate the skinned wooden shield that is a hundred steps away.

The structure of the firearm is simple, and the manufacturing cost is not low. In order to ensure the initial velocity of the metal projectile, the guide rail must be cast with a special magic crystal alloy. In order to maintain the continuous power supply of the excitation device, the magic crystal must also be added during the enchanting process. What is more terrible is that the magic crystal is also constantly worn out during the use of the firearm. If the magic crystal is not replenished in time, the firearm will become a burning stick. The magic crystal accounted for at least 70% of the total cost of firearms. Expensive magic crystals caused the cost of firearms to remain high, which in turn delayed the popularization of this new weapon, at least in the short term. Cheap traditional bow and crossbow.

...

Sissi and Jerry’s brother and sister originally lived in the “unfrozen lake” among the forests on the upper Delin River.

The so-called "unfrozen lake" of the fairies is actually a large hot spring, about 40 miles away from Delin Town.

Under the guidance of Nick's younger brother, Joan and his team of six ride along the Dring Valley. The deeper the valley, the denser the vegetation on both sides of the river, and the road becomes rugged. Sometimes I have to dismount and walk. The knife cut off the thorns and vines that blocked the road.

The group set off in the morning until the sun went down and did not reach their destination. As the sky gradually darkened, Flint Anvil's face became more and more heavy, and he said to Joan riding side by side: "Even if we rush to the lake, the sky is already dark, and our dwarves have dark vision, It doesn't matter, you and Kandy and the Dindal brothers don't have night vision, it's best not to clash with ghouls at night... we'll find a safe place to camp near the Unfrozen Lake, and we'll do it again when it's dawn Not late."

Joan nodded his head and fully agreed with the old dwarf's judgment. Most undead creatures like ghouls also have dark vision. The night does not hinder their vision, but provides a layer of cover. In order to avoid being passive, it is undoubtedly a safer way to deal with the group of water ghosts when the light is full tomorrow.

According to information provided by Sissi and Jerry, this place is very close to the Unfrozen Lake. Moving on is likely to disturb the water ghosts entrenched in the lake, so Flint decided to camp nearby. It is best to install the camp in an open area away from the river beach and jungle to prevent the water ghost from diving into the camp along the river channel or under the cover of the jungle. Launch a sneak attack.

Everyone dismounted one after another and moved their stiff hands and feet to ease the fatigue caused by long-distance riding. While searching for a campsite, Joan accidentally noticed that there was a faint flash of fire in the forest in front of him, and he couldn't help but froze.

At this time, Tom also felt the light in the forest, and looked like an orange-red lantern from afar, shouting excitedly.

"Look at everyone, there are lights in front, maybe we don't have to sleep tonight!"

"It looks like the lights of the people in the mountains. We can go to stay overnight and ask about the water ghost." Dick said.

"Wait first! Don't you think it's weird? How can someone settle in this wild mountain wild forest, and besides is the water ghost's lair, is this family not afraid at all?" Roger questioned cautiously.

"Roger was right, the lights seemed suspicious, and we better be careful." Joan had an ominous premonition.

"If the light is not the lights of people in the mountains, will it be the campfire of the traveler?" Kandy made another guess.

"I'm afraid it's not a campfire." The old dwarf caressed the long beard with a serious look. "I lived 150 years old, but I have never seen a campfire that moves."

As Flint said, the orange fire fluttered through the forest, and as time went on, it continued to approach the area where everyone camped.

Half-blooded winter wolf has the most keen sense, and roared immediately when he sensed the evil spirit contained in the firelight.

Joan squatted down and gently stroked Jamie's back, calmed it down, and then told his companion: "Jamie sensed the evil spirit of the undead. If I guessed right, the light might be a ghost fire formed by the grudges."

Hearing the word "ghost fire", including Flint, everyone could not help but change his face. Ghost fire is a general term for a type of incorporeal undead. Most of the souls of dead people are aggregated by negative energy pollution. They often appear on the battlefield or in the wilderness of robbers. They wander around with strong resentment against the living, spreading fear and despair. Creatures killed by ghost fire have their souls polluted by negative energy and merge into the ghost fire. The more wraiths the ghost fire absorbs, the more firewood is added to the campfire, and its power will become stronger.

The ghost fire approaching Joan and others looked as big as a washbasin, and I did not know how many innocent dead souls were absorbed.

"Ghostfire... Paul is not the scout from the water ghosts," Flint said, stroking his beard.

Dick showed the battle axe and said aloud: "Whether it is a ghost fire or a demon fire, since it is not a good thing, then you are welcome, cut it and talk about it!"

"Don't go over first, let me come!" Roger quickly stopped the impulsive brother, and took his back shotgun with his backhand, skillfully loaded the bullets, and raised the gun to aim.

"Can you hit?" Dick looked at his brother with concern.

"Such a conspicuous target, it is difficult to miss the target."

Roger lip corners evoked a confident arc, with the aid of the sight to lock the wandering ghost fire, calmly pull the trigger. A shining electric arc erupted from the muzzle, and the lead bullet whistled away from the gun barrel. The ghost fire was a hundred feet away.

At the moment of being shot, the ghost fire shivered slightly and disappeared out of thin air immediately, and the light in the forest immediately dimmed.

Tom held the torch high and looked around blankly. "Is the ghost fire extinguished by a shotgun?"

"Roger beware!" Dick suddenly pushed away his brother. At the same time, an orange-red fire suddenly appeared from where Roger had originally stood.

"Go to death, monster!"

The sturdy Dick held up his battle axe and slashed into the ghost fire. The sharp axe blade cut through the ghost fire without encountering the slightest obstacle, as if cutting through a void of air, hitting heavily on the gravel ground, splashing the dazzling Mars.

Dick slashed through the air, staggering forward under the inertia. The ghost fire hit him at the same time. When the two sides collided, a strong electric current burst out inside the ghost fire, like a flashing leather whip hit Dick hard, knocking this strong young boy to the ground, trembling into paralysis.

The ghost fire fluttered to Dick, who was unable to fall to the ground, and set out to give him a fatal blow and ingest his soul.

At this moment, a big hand formed by magical forces came flying across the sky, and slaps the ghost fire from Dick!

PS. The alloy used to make the electromagnetic rail of the magic crystal firearm has the characteristics of superconductivity at room temperature.
