Chapter 834 835. The so-called treasure
The lid of the wooden box was pried open again, revealing an anti-rust oil cloth inside, and the air immediately smelled of butter.
A serious expression appeared on the face of the Great Grames magician. Instead of rushing to lift the tart cloth, he tried to find some special symbols on the wooden box. He even lowered his head, sniffed it against the flax oil cloth, and then said to Roy:
"It should come from the Dwarf Kingdom. Only the Stans dwarfs like to use whale oil as anti-rust oil. I have smelled this smell on many magic devices."
Roy didn't say anything.
Watching the Great Grames magician lift the tarpaulin, the dark gold pattern on the round tube inside made the Great Grames magician hold his breath again.
He lifted the tarpaulin until he saw the dark hole and began to look for the gem base again...
His hands kept stroking the pattern on the metal cannon barrel and murmured to himself:
"This is the cannon body of the CX-II magic cannon, the representative work of Hex Technology in the goblin civilization. At that time, goblins used magic cannons to knock on the doors of countless countries."
With Grames's eyes, Roy also saw the line of text engraved on the barrel.
"It's indeed a magic cannon! Grames, do you know how to use a magic cannon?" Roy took the opportunity to ask.
The great magician Grames's eyes were a little complicated. He pressed one hand on the cannon, feeling the coldness transmitted from the cannon body, and suddenly spoke:
"These magic cannons are very simple to operate, but before I tell you how they are used, I want to ask you a question."
"Then ask!" Roy said.
The great magician of Grames turned his head and stared at Roy's eyes and asked:
"Roy, when you master these magic cannons, will you point the muzzles of these cannons at the Elf Continent?"
Roy's heart twitched slightly...
The Great Magician of Grames asked this, which obviously shows that these magic cannons are powerful.
He was worried that he would use magic cannons to deal with the Silver Moon Elf on the Elf Continent...
In fact, in recent times, Roy has also thought about how to deal with the relationship with the Silver Moon Elf in the future.
Although the hybrid elves in the Patington plane have separated from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, everyone's roots are still there...
Many relatives and friends of mixed-race elves are still living in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and some things can never be cut off.
Even if Roy really wants to do this one day, there will probably be no elves going crazy with him...
"No!
I think, including me, many elves who have come out of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will feel that only the Elf Continent is our hometown.
We came to the Patington plane with aspiration for a new life, and then used our hands to transform the Patington plane into the home of the mixed-blood elves...
So what reason do I have to return to the Elf Continent and compete with the Elf who originally lived there for that land? ”
Roy said with a faint smile.
The Great Grames Magician could feel the sincerity in Roy's tone.
"The magic cannon itself is driven by magic crystal."
He placed his hand at the tail of the magic cannon, where there were very obvious gem grooves.
"These magic crystals are usually installed on the gem pedestal. Only when six magic crystals are filled on the gem pedestal can the magic pattern matrix on the magic cannon be activated."
The great magician Grames moved his fingers back and forth with the complicated magic patterns. After identifying some magic patterns, he continued to say:
"Each magic cannon takes about a quarter of an hour to accumulate energy, and it must also be filled with high-end shells with magic attributes. These shells can be attached with fire-attributed meteors, water-attributed blizzards, earth-attributed meteorites, and wind-attributed tornadoes. Only by bending these advanced magic onto the shells can the magic cannon display its maximum power."
Roy asked the Great Grames Magician, "So... if you want to use these magic cannons, shells are the key, right?"
The Great Magician of Grames nodded:
"That's right. The magic cannon can only be regarded as a magic amplification device.
If you want to use magic cannons, you also need to purchase such magic shells from magicians.
Just like the giant whaling crossbows on the ship now, they are almost the same type of magic devices, but the power of the magic cannon is much greater than that of the giant whaling crossbows. ”
The great magician Grames rolled around in the wooden box, with a hint of doubt in his eyes:
"By the way, where are the cannon holders of these magic cannons?"
Roy was also a little confused: "I didn't find the cannon stand, there is only this kind of cannon in the cabin of this ship..."
The great magician of Grames was worried that Roy did not understand the working principle of the magic cannon, so he continued to explain to Roy:
"Every time the magic cannon fires a shell, it will produce very strong recoil.
In order to prevent the backward shock force of the cannon body from injuring the gunner, the goblin engineer tailored a very special gun mount for the magic cannon when inventing the magic cannon.
This gun mount can absorb the sudden burst of momentum and instantly disperse the recoil generated by the magic cannon, forming a huge buffer.
Therefore, the cannon stand on the magic cannon is actually very important. ”
"The warehouse of this ship is almost full of these barrels, and we didn't find any other parts..."
In fact, Roy didn't care much about the so-called gun mount at all.
Because in his opinion, if you add two iron wheels and a horizontal axis to these barrels, as long as you find a way to fix them, a cannon will be completed.
He had never thought about what specific gun mounts needed for this magic cannon...
"By the way... the other ship is also equipped with a lot of magic devices. I don't know what they are for. Maybe it's the kind of cannon stand you mentioned."
Roy patted his head, thinking that since the gun mounts are so important, perhaps these gun mounts might be placed on another ship.
The great magician of Grames hurriedly said, "Then let's go and have a look..."
The two walked down from the three-masted sailboat, passed the sampan on the dock, and came to another three-masted sailboat.
The floating device on the deck has been almost removed by the hybrid elf.
A group of mixed-race elves crew members were removing the top cover of the cargo warehouse on the deck, preparing to use the lifting tools on the ship to lift the wooden boxes inside the cabin and put them on the dock.
Roy pointed to the opened cargo hold and said to the Great Magician of Grames:
"The magic devices in these boxes look quite sophisticated, but I don't know what they are for."
Then, Roy pointed to a wooden box on the deck and asked the two mixed-race elves crew to open the lid of the wooden box.
Almost every magic device's anti-rust measures are handled very well, and the magic device placed inside the box looks like a conical pine tower.
Each disc is engraved with the finest runes, and a large number of runes are pieced together to form dense magic pattern arrays, and the patterns on the array are all silver lines. Roy couldn't even see the gem base he deserved on this metal pine tower that was half a meter tall.
The great magician of Grames widened his eyes, and he wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his handkerchief and asked in a low voice to Roy:
"There are all this stuff stored in the cabin of this ship?"
Roy glanced at the mixed-blooded elf crew next to him.
The crew member quickly stood up straight, approached Roy and said:
"Boss, we tried to open a few wooden boxes, which were filled with this stuff."
Seeing Roy's inquiring eyes, the great magician of Grames reached out to grop the metal pine tower and said:
"This thing is not a cannon stand. This thing is actually a small magic matrix. You can understand them as a heart of a steel highlon."
Roy knew very little about magic, but he knew about steel highlun.
Because he was in the dark place, the great magician Sidrick used a steel Gaolun to pull his huge magic caravan.
Roy was deeply impressed by the steel highlon.
The steel highlon was very powerful, and even though the waist-length parts were all trapped in the desert, they could still pull the magic caravan around.
Roy couldn't help asking, "Is it like the steel high-magic Sidrick heart?"
The Great Grames nodded:
"Well, it's almost the same. Maybe this thing is a little more advanced than Teacher Cidric's steel highlun. The things made by the goblin workshop are always so exquisite."
Roy asked tentatively, "Can steel highlon be produced with these hearts?"
Grames shook his head:
"It's not OK. You still need other parts made by an alchemist, but those magical parts are not difficult, and almost all have quite mature sets of drawings."
"This thing can be said to be the treasure that many alchemists dream of. In order to get them, many alchemists do not hesitate to follow the archaeological team to dig soil in ancient ruins all year round."
The great magician Grames casually flipped through the box and then turned his eyes away:
"Are these things in the cabin?"
Roy replied: "The boxes are almost the same, but there is a slight difference."
As the two were talking, they saw four mixed-blood elves carrying a wooden box to get off the boat. The Great Magician of Grames pointed to the wooden box they were carrying and said:
"This wooden box is different. Carry the box over and let's take a look."
Roy didn't see any difference, and the other mixed-race elves were also confused.
Boss Roy waved to them, and they immediately carried the wooden box over...
Open the wooden box and lift the tart cloth. The magic device inside was indeed different.
It was a cylindrical magic device with a sterling silver base underneath. The entire drum was made of golden gold. The top was equipped with a fist-sized ruby, and the tip of the gem was facing upward.
Roy's attention was completely on the ruby. The crystal clear ruby had no impurities, and it was blood-red...
The great magician Grames could not see the magic pattern array on the cylinder, so he asked the mixed-blood elf crew to open the four side walls of the wooden box, and the entire magic device was completely exposed.
Looking down from the upper end of the box, this magic lifting device is almost the same as the small magic matrix just now.
But from the side, there is a big difference. The magic device just now was pine tower-shaped. This magic device is cylindrical, and it is golden all over. The top is also inlaid with rubies as big as fists, which looks more valuable.
"These magical Gaolun's hearts seem to be more advanced," Roy said.
The Great Grames Magician glanced at Roy before explaining:
"This is a magic shield. If you install them on a magic airship, as long as you have sufficient magic crystals, you can open a round magic light shield on the magic airship. This light shield can almost weaken all magic and physical attacks."
Roy had seen magic shields in the Dark Gate Expedition Army camp, but they were supported by twelve magic towers and one main tower. The entire shield protected the entire camp...
The Great Magician of Grames said:
"These magic shields are smaller, Roy, you can try it. This thing has almost no disadvantages except for burning magic crystals."
The great magician Gremes said that burning magic crystals would not be an ordinary loss...
At this moment, Roy seemed to have been pushed into the magic gate with one hand.
Those magical devices can be said to have brought him one surprise after another, and they are extremely novel.
Whether it is a magic cannon or a magic protection cover, it seems that it can hit the magic airship...
The only regret is that the magic cannon mount was not found, but this thing is not a high-level magic device. Roy felt that the forging workshop of the Patington plane could be easily made.
"Since there is such a magic shield, why didn't the Grey Dwarf transform the previous three-masted sailboats into magic airships?" Roy was a little confused.
Grames thought about it seriously and said to Roy:
"Is there a possibility that they lost these dwarf treasures before they could transform the magic airship..."
Roy couldn't find a more reasonable explanation, so he could only agree with the words of the Great Magician of Grames.
...
Roy returned to the dock and saw that the seawall built along the coastline on the south side of the island had actually extended to the next side of the dock.
Although the height of the seawall needs to be increased, most of the entire seawall has been completed.
It's really like what Mulin said: You should never underestimate the construction speed of the plateau headhunter...
In just three months, they built a seawall that was nearly thirty kilometers long along the coastline.
The chains tied up huge rocks, forming the foundation of the seawall, which looked quite solid, and the waves hit the foundation stone, and even if the tide was high, it could not rush the seawall at all.
In fact, this seawall is not mainly targeting gray dwarf robbers. The gray dwarf robbers living near Kui Island have long been defeated.
Roy is worried that the Naga Sea tribe of the Endless Sea will one day re-compete with him for ownership of the archipelago...
At that time, whether there is a sea wall or not was a completely different concept.
A group of plateau headhunters were also mining reefs on the reefs by the sea. In addition to a group of plateau headhunters, Roy also saw a large circle of gray dwarves carrying mineral picks and shackles on their feet, pressing against mining those sea reefs.
As long as the sea reefs are placed in the iron cages on the seawall and connect the iron cages filled with reefs together, it is the most solid seawall...
...
On Kui Island, thousands of tree houses are the fruits of the labor of the elves carpenters.
