Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 130 The era of magic technology is coming
The lightning faded, and Ivy picked up the crossbow. The golden hair on her head swayed in the wind, giving her a feeling of "how lonely it is to be invincible".

Hagrid did a brainstorming and realized that swordsman was a really crappy job.

No, to be precise, this is not a serious job at all.

There is no organization, no path, and no gods to believe in. Only those who have practiced swordsmanship for a period of time and failed the knight assessment will declare themselves to be swordsmen.

But Hagrid saw the future.

He wants to change his job and become a crossbowman.

He had a hunch that traditional skill training would soon be abandoned by the times. The future would be an era of competing with equipment. If he changed his job to a crossbowman now, he would be ahead of 98% of the people.

Damn! He's so smart!

"Sheriff, how many gold lions did you spend on this crossbow? Is there a purchase threshold?"

As for this ancestral knight's sword, it is better to take it back home and worship it.

"This is a prototype. The general model sold to the public is priced at 80 gold lions. It does not have the function of releasing full magic power."

Ivy said, "But you don't have to buy it yourself. Go back and wait. Baron Gladin should give you innovative equipment in the near future."

If there were no lies in the letter sent by Mr. Chun Ai, it would not be long before the empire was caught in a state of internal and external war. As a small border town, Ximu Town would naturally be the first place to encounter the enemy, so the reform of armaments was necessary.

"real or fake?"

Hagrid couldn't believe his ears. "Can this thing be distributed to us for free in the end?"

"of course."

"Great! I will start organizing crossbow training right away!"

Hagrid was overjoyed. It didn't matter whether he ran or not! He should gather all his men and form a shooting training camp. The guards recruited by the baron were almost all people who failed the knight assessment and were not good at using bows and crossbows.

After saying this, he put away his sword and ran down the mountain happily.

After Hagrid ran away, Bi'an and Rowena turned back into form.

"What do you think?"

What Ivy asked about was naturally the result of releasing all magic power. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the power of the crossbow. If this thing was mass-produced and put into the frontal battlefield, the combination of priests and knights would be no different from paper.

Bi'an looked at the 'Red Rose' that he was so proud of, and then at the scorched earth left by the electromagnetic crossbow, and his face suddenly fell, "I spent several months and used many rare materials to forge the Red Rose, but it was surpassed by the trial model you made in just one afternoon!"

Rowena also commented, "The power of full magic shooting can match my cutting array. The cost of making those traps and scrolls alone will cost hundreds of gold lions, and it will take several days to set them up..."

Although it is hard to admit it, at least in terms of power, the full-magic shot of the electromagnetic crossbow is even more terrifying than the full-strength attack of a high-level transcendent.

At this moment, they truly felt that the era of magical technology that Ethan had mentioned was about to arrive.

The birth of a high-level transcendent is based on a rare talent, coupled with persistent efforts and the accumulation of a large amount of resources. However, after the advent of magical technology, theoretically everyone has the potential to obtain power comparable to that of a high-level transcendent through equipment.

"It won't be long before high-level transcendents exit the stage of history."

Rowena was pessimistic. “We have to find a way to make more money before then.”

"Withdraw from the stage of history? Why do you think so?"

Ethan wondered.

"Purchasing magical equipment is much faster than getting promoted, and as long as they have money, everyone can buy a set of equipment to arm themselves." Rowena estimated that if she was hit head-on by the full-magic crossbow just now, she would be half-crippled even if she didn't die. When she thought that this was a primary version and that there was still unlimited room for improvement in magical technology in the future, she felt that the future of the extraordinary was dark.

"But for extraordinary people, the benefits of magic technology will only become more obvious, and the way of fighting will only change."

"Elaborate!"

Rowena hurriedly urged Ethan that joining Old Sen Magic Technology was undoubtedly one of the wisest decisions she had ever made in her life - this Ethan's brain was not normal, and she really didn't know where all these ideas of his came from.

"High-level extraordinary people are equivalent to magic supply stations. Take Sister Bi'an as an example. We can create a set of magic equipment that is suitable for her own magic according to the combat style she is good at. Not only can it allow her to adapt to fighting in various dangerous environments, but it can also increase her combat power exponentially."

"Is it true?"

Rowena did sit-ups, almost dancing with excitement, "Can I do it, too? I'm a certified Grand Mage from the Astrology Guild, and I'm good at my own cutting magic! Can it really be improved several times?"

She had been stuck at the Grand Mage stage for nearly ten years and had long lost hope of ever stepping into the realm of Saints. Even the polymaths of the Astrology Guild had not been able to become Saints in their entire lives.

If Ethan's magic equipment could increase her combat power several times, she would definitely have the confidence that she could fight with a true saint.

Very good, the era of the Great Mage has come again!

Ethan said, "I have thought of a magic equipment suitable for Sister Bi'an, but we still need to wait for a suitable opportunity. The magic power of a knight comes from faith. Although the influence of breaking the oath has been eliminated, it is difficult to improve the rank according to the current situation."

If we want to solve the problem from the root, we need a new belief or an existence that can replace the Lord of Knights.

Ethan drew inspiration from myths and legends.

When he mentioned knights, he would involuntarily think of the Sword in the Stone.

This is how legends came into being, and perhaps, this is how gods came into being too.

But how to perfectly restore the Sword in the Stone is still one of the difficult problems he needs to overcome.

"Then it's settled."

Ivy made the decision, "I will go discuss the purchase of a batch of electromagnetic crossbows with Baron Gretin first. And you, Mr. Heisenberg, you have been missing for so many days, it's time to go to your magic scroll shop. If you don't go back, those people who are addicted to ice arrows will go crazy."

"In that case, Sister Bi'an, why don't you come with me to Hearth Bay? It's a good opportunity for you to appear as the forging master of Lao Sen's Magic Technology Shop."

Ethan suggested.

"Eh, me?"

Bi'an was stunned for a moment, "Even if I wear a mask, people will still recognize me, right?"

She smoothed her red bangs. This hair color was very rare in the Empire. Neither of her parents had red hair. When she was in the Temple of Nestriel, many people suspected that she was not from the Empire.

This kind of thing is actually very common. Homeless children have always been a big problem in the empire, and people often take abandoned babies home to adopt.

As for the reasons, some wanted to raise them to be servants, while others wanted to teach them to steal and rob.

She was lucky not to have such parents.

"It's easy."

Rowena coughed lightly. She knew that it was time for the hero to appear. "At times like this, we have to rely on the great magicians who travel all year round. I am a super magician who has mastered more than ten kinds of makeup magic. How about it? Do you need me to help you with a look? I guarantee that no one will recognize you. It's only 20 gold lions, a fair price, no cheating!"
