Chapter 105 Gunpowder (Additional update for the leader "Se Tiao Coffee")
The next morning.
Mr. Stork delivered the raw materials for gunpowder as promised, packed in a wooden box with three fist-sized glass bottles with thin necks and fat bellies.
Containing saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal respectively.
When these three are mixed in a certain proportion, they can become "black powder".
But Gilan didn't want to make black gunpowder, but to refine Shabotai's unique alchemy "green gunpowder".
Both its explosive power and flame temperature are much higher than ordinary gunpowder, and it has mysterious power.
Jilan sat at the window table in room "301".
He first poured out the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, then placed them one by one in the "abrasive plate" and ground them all into powder with a small glass pestle. This instrument was recently brought back by Mr. Stork from the underground secret room of the scrap yard, and he temporarily borrowed it.
Wait until this step is completed.
Ji Lan non-stop took out "tin sulfur", "furnace green" and "mysterious dust" from the dimensional space, and once again ground the first two mysterious materials into powder.
Finally, the three mysterious main ingredients are mixed, and then mixed with black gunpowder.
Because it was his first time doing it, he was extremely careful during the process.
The formula also clearly states that you need to be careful when mixing. If you accidentally sprinkle too much or too little, it is very likely to cause an explosion.
After a while.
‘It’s done! ’
Jilan wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the three fat-bellied bottles in front of him filled with black and green powder, and showed a satisfied smile.
"Green gunpowder" is not a very complicated alchemy, it can even be said to be quite simple. But after all, it was Jilan's first time doing the operation, so he was inevitably delighted when he saw the results.
These three bottles of green gunpowder are placed quietly on the table.
A mysterious magnetic field is emitted spontaneously and invisibly.
Jilan reached out and approached, and his gnosis was immediately touched...and the kingdom deep in his heart, the cross sword bonfire, also swayed gently.
This undoubtedly declares the success of this "alchemy".
He immediately picked up a gunpowder bottle, and "Beautiful" triggered a skewed color entry:
"Green gunpowder. Made of 'tin sulfur', 'mysterious dust' and 'furnace' Mixed with green, the gunpowder will produce green flames after burning, which is incredibly powerful, extremely hot, and lethal to spiritual bodies."
Jilan uncorked the wooden bottle and sprinkled it with the size of a fingernail. of it into a glass dish and light it with a match.
Bear! !
I saw a group of green flames rising instantly, almost reaching the ceiling.
As early as the moment the flames were generated, Jilan used extremely quick reactions to dodge backwards. But even so, the intense heat burned away a strand of his blond hair in the blink of an eye.
The air in the room, after being roasted by this fire, became extremely hot, as if all the moisture had been dried out.
Jilan’s retinas only had a faint green color.
When the green fire gradually shrank and concentrated to the size of a fist, it was never extinguished and kept burning in the glass vessel.
Jilan looked closely, and it was not until a few minutes later that the green fire was completely extinguished.
As for the glass dish, it has become a puddle of softened crystals emitting green smoke. Along with the entire wooden table, there were also traces of scorch.
"This power..."
Jilan was speechless.
This is just a tiny amount.
If we follow the recipe and use 1 "ink" unit, which is about 0.6 ounces and 1/5 of the gunpowder bottle, I really don't know what the effect will be.
He took a deep breath, took out the cane of justice, unlocked it into the form of a staff and hammer, poured 1 ink of green gunpowder into the bin at the end of the hammer head, and then restored the cane to its original shape.
Then the mess was picked up.
After everything was settled, Jilan dragged out a large leather box from the corner.
This is what Mr. Stork prepared for him. There were also many supplies placed inside, including canned food, kettles, maps and other miscellaneous items, all necessities he would need on his escape.
Jilan was grateful.
He quickly put the clothes, shoes and hats in the room into the box.
Finally.
Put the big suitcase by the door, take out your wallet, and check it out.
There are 345 Caesar banknotes, fake IDs and train tickets for the train leaving this evening.
After putting away his wallet, he looked back at the clean and tidy room he had tidied up, and a softness flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he put on his felt hat and pushed out the door without looking back.
“The Lewis family, it’s time for you to repay your debt.”
Gilan’s eyes were lowered and he couldn’t see clearly.

Haust 2nd Street, 18, Louis Apartments.
"My father has become much older recently."
In the living room, the fourth son, Kane, was playing with the cups uneasily, looking at his brother, sister and younger sister. "My hair is white, and my body is not as good as before."
"Say less, Kane." Brother Pa warned in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Kane lowered his head.
But the other two sisters, Biddy and Cecil, looked at each other with worry on their faces.
My father has indeed aged a lot recently, and his walk is no longer as straight as before, but his waist has become rickety.
The most important point is that my father’s temper has become increasingly gloomy and irritable. If anything goes wrong, they will beat and scold the servants, even their children, which makes several people live in fear during this period.
"It's probably because of the Oak Gang, and..."
Bitty started, but stopped mid-sentence.
But even before she finished speaking, the other brothers and sisters knew what she meant.
The Oak Gang lost two of its bosses one after another, experienced the "Murder in the Well" and the "Plague", and just dispersed.
Father's plan to secretly search for his ancestor's inheritance was foiled.
But even greater bad news followed.
The underground secret room where our ancestors once lived in seclusion has been found!
But it was taken away first!
The father sent his henchmen to hunt down the woman, but there was no news at all!
On the other hand, the Louis family has not been able to complete what they promised to Mr. Charles, a distinguished guest in the capital. The low-level boy named Gilan Iros is still missing.
Click.
The study door upstairs opened, and my father's deep voice came faintly:
"Mr. Charles, I'm really sorry that I couldn't complete what you asked me to do."
< br>
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Layton, you did your best...and I see all your hard work, alas, forget it."
"Don't you want to stay a few more days?"
< br>"No, I'll leave today."
Mr. Charles's voice sounded a little anxious.
"Mr. Layton, if you believe me, you should leave Brak City as soon as possible."
"Huh? Mr. Charles?"
"The war has begun!"
Mr. Charles's voice was low.
"The family sent me a secret telegram, urgently recalling me...at the latest a week, no, even within these few days, the federal army is very likely to invade the great forest area!"< br>
“How is this possible?!”
Leighton Lewis looked in disbelief.
One of his eyes was bandaged with gauze, and his single eye showed shock.
Even the four direct descendants of the Lewis family who overheard the conversation in the living room downstairs had expressions of surprise and panic on their faces.
“The empire’s spies stationed in the Federation received important information. The Federation military has developed a terrifying new weapon, specifically targeting the ‘Steel Wall Fortress Project’ led by Commander-in-Chief ‘Lech Mesa’. ...The defenses that stretch for more than 400 kilometers may not be able to stop the federal offensive!"
"Damn!"
Layton looked ugly.
He and Mr. Charles slowly walked downstairs.
Just when Layton was full of thoughts, wondering how to resettle the Lewis family next, and where to evacuate.
“Dad.”
The voice of daughter Biddy came.
Layton's thoughts were disrupted and he frowned. Just as he was about to scold his second daughter, he felt a pain in his chest.
Looking up, Leiton was stunned.
I saw Biddy with a ferocious face, holding a table knife, and stabbed it into his chest.
Not only that, behind Biddy, the eldest son Pa, the fourth son Kane and the fifth daughter Cecil, each showed a twisted look of hatred, stared, and rushed towards him with a kitchen knife or fruit knife. .
“You immortal thing! It will only make us angry!”
"I've had enough of you, damn old man!"
"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!!"
"Kill you! I am the leader of the Lewis family! ”
The children shouted angrily.
Leighton Lewis looked stunned.
Mr. Charles on the side also froze on the spot, shocked by the absurd scene in front of him.
