Chapter 182 Ebony and White Ivory
The conversation with Ezio gave Purficott a new information channel, and also let her know a lot of things hidden under the peaceful surface of Langton. information and undercurrents.
“So the conservatives are trying to incite criticism from the academic and religious circles to undermine my reputation?” Listening to the information Ezio introduced to him about the Assassin Brotherhood, Perfico had An urge to laugh.
If this happened a year ago, Purficott might still be very angry; two years ago, she would be so angry that she would hide and cry alone.
But now, for the Northern Lords, this is not painful at all, and even makes people feel funny.
Do these conservatives know about the end times? Purficott believes that they still know. After all, they are also a major political faction in the empire. If you say that they have no idea at all, you are definitely looking down on them.
But in the face of such a disaster, it is somewhat difficult for them to expect them to be able to analyze the situation rationally, or to have a long-term perspective to judge what should be done now.
Of course, if you look at it from their perspective and cognition, they will think that they are doing the right thing.
After all, the catastrophe of world destruction is about to come. At this time, what the empire needs is mature and steady people who can take into account the interests of the ruling class to lead the entire country, rather than letting a little girl who is still young to mess around.
Not to mention, in their opinion, the empire should be inherited by Justinian, and the new king should be assisted by nobles. This is the fine tradition passed down from the beginning of Victoria's founding of the country.
As for Justinian being an incompetent waste, he will only become a fatuous and incompetent emperor after succeeding to the throne?
Isn’t this better? If the king is a wise king, how can he show the virtuousness of the ministers who assist the king in governing?
And more importantly, a faint king is more conducive to being controlled and manipulated.
Now that we have entered the industrial age, the old monarchs of the feudal era can also consider turning it into a mascot, right?
After all, that group of bourgeoisie have been clamoring about constitutional monarchy. Isn’t this the aristocratic discussion of the past? In the past, the king only took care of the land directly under his own control, and major national affairs still had to be discussed with the nobles.
Although thanks to the industrial revolution, kings became emperors and nobility were no longer the same, but in such difficult moments, nobility were still needed to lead the people. How could those weak-legged people govern the country well?
Thinking of this, Purficott couldn't help but sneer. She knew clearly that these old nobles were so short-sighted.
"What are you going to do with them?" Hearing Purficott's sneer, Ezio asked, and at the same time showed his weapon to Purficott: "If you have If necessary, the Assassin Brotherhood can help you eliminate them. "
For Ezio, it is not difficult to eliminate a few corrupt nobles.
In the past, they were not touched, just because these nobles who were lying on their corpses did not hinder them. In addition, the Assassin Brotherhood was not an organization that killed indiscriminately, so they would not touch these old nobles.
But now if they hinder the fate of the entire human race, the assassin's sword will not mind being stained with blood. However, Purficott did not respond to Ezio's determination. On the contrary, she was very interested in the weapons displayed by Ezio.
It was a hidden sword fixed on the arm like an arm guard, and it had also been modified and equipped with a pistol.
"Did my father help you change this? This pistol was added..." Purficott removed the arm guard from Ezio's arm before he could react, and then Holding it in his hand and studying it: "It's too rough. Although it is a very sophisticated design, it is still too rough. Don't you think this pistol is too inconvenient to use?"
Hearing from Perficott After making this comment, Ezio was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it's not bad. Your father designed a paper-shell bullet. You only need to insert one round into the gun chamber when using it, tear the paper shell and ignite it with flint. It can be launched and can be used in emergencies at critical moments.”
This comment made Purficott shake his head, then turned around and started rummaging through the cabinets in the laboratory.
Under Ezio’s unclear gaze, Purficott quickly dug out a long wooden box from the cabinet and placed it in front of him.
"Open it and take a look. I made this for fun a long time ago." Purficott started over again and motioned to Ezio to open the box, while she drew an alchemy icon on the table. After throwing Ezio's hidden sword into the magic circle, he began to modify it.
Ezio felt a little distressed about his hidden blade, but remembering that he still had a spare one, and that Perficott was an alchemy master as powerful as his parents, he held back what he wanted to say. Then he opened the box in front of him.
In the box are two weapons that Ezio has never seen before. They look like two guns, but they are not common styles nowadays. One is black and the other is white with a handle and an iron-black gun. They look so beautiful that they look less like weapons and more like works of art.
Ezio took out one of them and studied it carefully. Although he quickly figured out how to use this thing, he could not find a place to load bullets.
This made him turn to Purficott, who was dismantling the hidden sword, and asked her: "How do you load this? I didn't see a place to open the barrel, and there was no place to install it. "Flint."
"Forget about the backward method of flint. Today's technology can already use mercury to make flash caps, thus achieving a simpler and more convenient bullet firing," Perficott said to Ai. Gio replied, and then explained how to use the two weapons: "There are bullets and magazines at the bottom of the box. Press the bullet into the magazine, then insert the magazine into the handle, and pull the slide cover above It can be loaded, that is, pressing the bullet into the barrel of the gun.
I originally wanted to make a version that did not need to be loaded, but the magicians of the Empire could not get the enchantment I wanted, so this design had to be shelved.
Now the barrels of these two guns each have an enchantment that adds fire and frost damage, but apart from giving the bullets different killing effects after hitting them, it doesn't have much use. < br>
It is powerful enough to kill an elephant at a distance of fifty meters, and does not require any additional special effects. "
"What are their names? "Ezio followed Purficott's instructions, pressed the brass-colored bullet into the magazine, inserted the magazine into the handle, loaded the gun, tried dual-wielding, and then asked Purficott The two guns were named "Ebony and White Ivory." "Perfect said the name he originally gave out of bad taste.
