Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Soon, Flora and the nuns, wearing bird-beak masks, received the first mission from the lord.

Many people were very excited that they could finally contribute their own strength to the new messenger of the Goddess, the great Lord.

However, at the moment of receiving the task, Flora grabbed the hand of the clerk who came to issue the task and asked, "I'm sorry, Mr. Clerk, I need to confirm again, is this really the task issued by the lord? A bunch of...math problems?"

To be precise, it is centered around the construction and related research of a second-order fire spell model.

"Yes, Saint Lady, please do not underestimate these math problems. They all concern the future of the territory. These are the original words of the Lord. The Lord said that we must be careful and check every number and coordinate at least twice to make sure they are correct."

The clerk answered Flora's question very politely.

Flora looked at the thick stack of math test papers in her hand and wondered if she had not been saved at all and if all this was just an illusion before death.

Although the mask was covering her, the clerk could see Flora's confusion and said simply, "The Lord said that if there is anything you don't understand, you can go to this place to find the Lord, and the Lord will answer it for you."

Flora, who really didn't know why she had to do math problems, brought the test paper to the laboratory in the territory. After explaining her purpose to the knight at the door, she found Lind there.

"My Lord, please forgive my rudeness. I just don't understand why our mission is to solve math problems instead of curing diseases, saving lives, or spreading your reputation."

When Lind saw Flora coming, he was not in a hurry to answer her questions. Instead, he introduced the magic trigger and the arcane array to Flora, which made Flora a little nervous.

This is the biggest secret in the territory, but it was told to Flora, who had just arrived in the territory a few days ago, without any error.

After all, he was someone who had a close relationship with the heroine, so Lind chose to trust him unreservedly.

After briefly explaining the principles of the Mathematical Array and the Magic Trigger, Lind began to tell Flora about the laboratory.

"In fact, in the previous review, Reina and I both felt that our victory in this battle was mostly due to luck. Although the grenade has a range of only about 30 to 50 meters, it is very powerful, but it cannot become the main weapon in the future."

As Lind spoke, he stroked the cannon in the laboratory and continued, "So we have to continue to update our weapons, not only to enable our soldiers to fight against those demons who use blood magic, but also to be able to fight against low- and mid-level professionals."

Flora's first reaction was to think that Lind was crazy. The technology and weapons that Lind talked about were already crazy enough, and now he actually said that he wanted to allow those ordinary soldiers to be able to fight against low- and middle-level professionals?

This is just... awesome!

Doesn't that mean that with these weapons, auxiliary professions like nuns can go to the battlefield?

Flora's hands were shaking with excitement. She originally thought that as a support professional, she could only stay in the rear for the rest of her life, and at most be a field doctor on the battlefield. She never expected that she would have the opportunity to kill the demons with her own hands in the future.

Lind came to a device that looked like an enlarged version of a musket. This was made by Lisha and Reina overnight and was considered a prototype of future weapons.

He pulled the trigger at the bottom of the weapon, and the large musket with the magic stone connected to the magazine fired a blazing ray, directly hitting the armor in the distance.

You can clearly see black smoke coming out of the armor.

This is a second-level fire magic, or a revised version of the second-level fire magic, a brand new magic.

In fact, it is a molten ray with changed launch angle, launch force and increased stability.

The power of this gun is not comparable to the blood magic of ordinary demons, but it cannot be fired continuously now because there is no way to deal with the problem of barrel overheating, and it is too large. Its size is almost as large as the "big bar" in the late Qing Dynasty that required two people to operate.

However, it is only a prototype after all, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. As long as it succeeds, it can solve the problem that ordinary kinetic weapons have difficulty causing damage to fully armed knights.

After a detailed discussion with Reina, Lind discovered that the reason why the knights' enchantments were mainly focused on impact was because there were not many spellcasting professionals on the actual battlefield.

Except for the Kingdom of Anjou in the south which has an organized mage unit, the mainstream on the battlefield is still melee combat among knights, so the enchants on armor generally focus on eliminating impact force. To put it simply, the mainstream of knights now is to stack toughness and physical resistance, and not specifically stack magic resistance.

After all, most of the blood magic that is quite terrifying to ordinary people is just some small tricks, and it is difficult to cause effective damage to elite knights.

In other words, as long as this weapon that can emit molten rays can be successfully developed, it can basically restrain all current mainstream enchantments.

“This is just crazy.”

Flora exclaimed in admiration. This was the first time she felt that a weapon for killing could be so beautiful.

Lind, not knowing what Flora was thinking, added, "So your mission is to optimize the Molten Ray's spell structure. I will send Lisha to work with you to compress the arcane magic array that converts the Molten Ray's spell structure to the extreme."

Lind patted the percussion musket on the table beside him and said, "It should probably be able to fit into a weapon of this size."

This kind of low-level spell has a lot of room for optimization, but no one will specifically optimize this type of spell, or it can be said that the construction of spell models is inherently quite free, and everyone's casting habits are different, so most spell models have not been studied to the extreme, and no one has proposed what a standard spell model should be like.

"Can it be done?"

Actually, Lind was not sure either. After all, the Mathematical Arrays currently used in the territory only emphasized the ability to run and fly with great force, and there was no need for any optimization.

It’s like all the original projects were run on 4090, and everyone didn’t need to consider optimization issues at all, and even wanted to max out ray tracing. But now you tell me that the new project must run smoothly on 1060 or even 960.

In addition, there was no professional developer in the territory, so Lind had very low psychological expectations. As long as it could be carried by a single soldier, even if it was made into a mortar, Lind would accept it.

Think carefully about the educational background of today’s white-collar researchers.

The leader, Lisha, is a true unconventional person. She has learned a lot from her father and the Talisman Society, but she is not a professional herself and knows nothing about traditional magic. She is very biased.

Isa, the most reliable one among them, has only completed three years of courses at the academy in the capital. Her basic skills may be the most solid, but her skills are essentially at the level of a fresh graduate, and she is currently unable to use divine arts (but may be able to use the Great Meteorite Fairy Art.)

Reina should have the strongest overall strength and the most active thinking, but it is very abstract. Every time she opens her mouth, she talks about this and that. Many mathematical arrays can only be analyzed by Reina, and she cannot teach them to others.

Linde's greatest role is probably because he is with Reina every day. He can probably understand some of Reina's thoughts, occasionally translate to everyone what Reina wants to say, and provide research ideas. He has never seriously studied magic.

The rest are a group of frustrated rune craftsmen who were thrown here like garbage by the royal capital and the Lars family. They are a complete makeshift team.

"It's worth a try. This is just a second-level magic. The spell model and theory are not complicated."

Flora nodded. Compared with the gray-collar research team, the nuns, all of whom were trained by the Vatican, were much more reliable.

"Then I'm relieved. If you need any materials, you can contact me directly."

Linde nodded slightly, somewhat relieved that Flora didn't think that she was about to rebel when she saw these weapons like Laurie did, and did not notice the fanatical look in Flora's eyes under the mask.

Flora really didn't intend to rebel. How could it be considered a rebellion when the great follower of the goddess returned to where he should be?

The beliefs of the old era can no longer reconcile the current contradictions. People today need a new belief. Perhaps even Flora herself has not noticed that she is gradually becoming extreme after experiencing a series of things.
