Farming in the Magical World

"Lanny, the stuff is ready. Take a look and see if it's what you expected?"

Tim carried a bunch of things into the study, threw them on the desk, and slumped into the chair.

He's becoming less and less concerned about his image in front of Lanny. At first, he was very serious, but as Lanny started to act more like the head of the family, he became more and more casual in front of Lanny!

Has he finally abandoned his airs as a trusted minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor?

Looking at the knight slumped in the chair, Lanny had this thought pop into his head!

"Darling, do you still want to continue?" Tiffany, who had been sitting beside him, frowned instantly when she saw the things scattered on the table.

Oh, I forgot Tiffany is still in the room.

Lenny rubbed his forehead, then his eyes lit up when he saw Tim in front of him. He pointed to Tim, who was sprawled in a chair, and said, "Hmm, but let him do it this time!"

"Then I'll leave it to Uncle Tim, hee hee!"

Upon hearing Lanny's words, Tiffany immediately smiled and gave Tim a ladylike bow, showing no concern whatsoever about whether it was appropriate to let Tim take such a risk!

Seeing what the young couple was doing, Tim just rolled his eyes at Lenny and nodded casually!

He had anticipated this outcome. He had wanted to suggest that he take the position before, but he hadn't had the chance to say so. Now that Lanny had offered, how could he refuse?

He didn't think this thing could hurt him at all. At worst, he could just... wear full armor, what's the big deal!

Having put Tiffany's worries at ease, Lanny carefully laid out the parts on the table one by one, spreading them out in a neat pile!

Compared to last time, there aren't many changes this time. It's still the same large structure as the energy chamber, array chamber, and reaction chamber. But it wouldn't be accurate to say there are no changes at all. After all, we learned a lesson last time, so naturally we need to solve some problems!

First, the bullets were cut with greater precision, so that the cork outer shell could be inserted into the front of the reaction chamber without falling out.

In addition, the connecting passage between the reaction chamber and the array chamber was widened. Finally, to make testing easier, a wooden handle was made separately to facilitate aiming during shooting!

Because Melissa has not provided any improvement plan to reduce the power of the array, the Rubik's Cube and array chamber this time are almost the same as last time.

However, in order to solve the problem of excessive chamber pressure, Lanny simply had the two connecting channels widened and holes opened to the sides, which served as pressure relief valves.

Meanwhile, in order to reduce damage to the substrates in the array and energy compartments, Lanny also made certain buffering designs to the connection parts.

As a result, this pistol is much more complex than the previous design.

After clumsily assembling the parts, a brand new magic pistol... ...a hand cannon appeared on the desk in the study!

This time, the appearance is much better than the last time. The entire gun body is iron gray, paired with the original wooden gun handle, and it actually looks pretty good. It has a retro revolver feel to it, just a bit thicker!

"How about... we give it a try?" After installing the device, Lenny tilted his head and looked at Tim!

The news that the master was going to conduct another experiment spread quickly throughout the castle, alarming many people.

Not only did Tiffany go with them, but Frank also rushed over. Of course, Melissa, as the designer of the array chamber, naturally appeared at the experimental site as well.

Even Candy came to the backyard with a small box on her back, ostensibly to help the young master at any time.

A group of people were pointing and whispering at Lenny and Tim, just like spectators waiting for a good show to begin!

This time, it was Knight Tim himself who was in charge of the operation. They weren't worried at all. Instead, they were pointing and chatting enthusiastically on the sidelines. They didn't seem to be there to watch the test, but rather to watch a show!

Ignoring everyone else, Lenny draped his arm over Tim's shoulder and corrected his posture.

"Hands out straight, a little higher... ...Yes!"

"You understand, two points and a line... Never mind, just point the barrel of your gun at that armored chest!"

"This is the trigger... No, no, no, don't touch it! You can only move when I say I'll fire. I'm right here!"

"The last thing to watch out for is the risk of a barrel explosion. Remember to stretch your arms as far as possible... ...Never mind, you should still put on your helmet, just to be safe!"

Finally, after hesitating for a long time under everyone's gaze, Tim not only put on a helmet but also a full set of armor before loading the bullets again and raising his weapon in a very professional manner!

"Ready... Release!" Lanny covered his ear with his left hand and watched Tim from a distance as he issued the activation command!

Bang... ...

A loud explosion rang out in the backyard, and a burst of flames shot out from the gun barrel and the pressure relief port on the left side.

The bullet, propelled by the immense force, pierced through the armor, riddling the chest of the armor with countless holes like a honeycomb.

This powerful kinetic energy even knocked the armor that was standing upright to the ground!

Seeing this result, the previously noisy backyard became completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

No one expected that although the sound was not as loud as last time, its power was surprisingly strong!

Only Lanny looked at the fallen armored target, nodded in satisfaction, walked over to the armor, squatted down, and began to check the effect!

These holes look quite frightening from a distance, but upon closer inspection... they're even more frightening!

Some of the iron shot had completely penetrated the first layer of the armor, and even the second layer had been damaged by the impact.

Smaller iron pellets, though not penetrating the armor, were deeply embedded and could only be pried off with a little force using one's fingers.

Hmm, next time we could increase the size of the iron shot, making it the size of small steel balls. That armor would probably be riddled with holes from front to back. And if we used slugs instead, the armor probably wouldn't be any better than cardboard!

Tim, who had recovered his senses, strode over, swallowed hard as he looked at the marks on the armor, and said, "This... ...was that my attack just now?"

Seeing Lenny nod slightly, Tim looked at Lenny with a strange expression. "You... ...you can't be serious, can you?"

Such a small thing can make a knight's armor look like this, without any training or secret techniques. If this thing were to become widespread, where would the knights have a chance to survive?

I knew Lanny had always had a strong opinion about being a knight, but I didn't expect it to be this strong. He couldn't be a good knight, so he simply cut off the lineage of knighthood.

Actually, this is a misunderstanding of Lenny. It wasn't him who resisted becoming a knight, but the playboy knight from before. His resistance to knight training wasn't for any other reason, but simply because he couldn't endure the hardship!

"Alright, let's get ready for the next experiment!"

Lanny picked up the tattered armor target again, dusted off his hands, and gave instructions to Tim as he moved away from the firing line!

The last experiment was interrupted due to an accident, and this time he still prepared more than one bullet.

However, he was unsure whether this method would work, as he had prepared identical iron shot pellets. He had just given five or six pellets to Tim at once!

Tim glanced again at the tattered armor in front of him and then at the strange-looking... gun in his hand, and a faint sadness welled up in his heart.

Now that I have this, what will the knights do?

This thought made Tim lose interest in speaking. Amidst the chatter of the women around him, he silently took the Rubik's Cube, which had run out of energy, took the second Rubik's Cube from Melissa, put it in, filled it with a pellet, closed the back cover, pressed in the fuse made of blue algae powder into the ignition hole, closed the armor mask, and once again raised the weapon in his hand towards the armor!

Bang... ...

Bang... ...

The next two experiments were very consistent, and the shot bullets riddled the entire armor with holes, making it look like a hollowed-out toy armor.

While the power of each activation varies, this is mainly due to the difference in the Rubik's Cube's magic capacity, and has little to do with the weapon!

Just when Lenny thought the barrel wouldn't explode again, the fourth firing attempt went wrong!

Tim's weapon made an even louder noise than before, and then shattered into pieces with a bang, flying in all directions.

This time, the explosion was more severe than the last one. Even the two energy chambers and array chambers attached to the side were severely damaged and almost shattered into pieces by the force of the explosion.

Tim's protection was adequate, otherwise he would probably have been covered in cuts and bruises from that blow!

"ah... ..."

Although it wasn't the first time she'd experienced something like this, Tiffany was still startled and let out a soft cry. On the contrary, the little maid Candy, after a moment of surprise, rushed to Tim's side immediately!

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Tim waved to Candy to indicate that he was fine, then pushed off his mask and looked at Lenny with delight, "This... ...is it not okay?"

If this weapon only lasts for three or four uses before reaching the end of its lifespan, and the final burst of power could severely injure the user, he felt that the profession of knight might... perhaps still be salvageable?

Lanny had no idea what he was thinking and waved his hand dismissively. "Hmm, it should have reached its limit. Let me see what happens!"

After inspecting the scattered glass shards and the parts that had been blown to various places, Lanny's guess was confirmed. The reaction chamber had been subjected to high temperature and high pressure multiple times, and finally could not withstand the high pressure at the moment of launch and exploded directly. It was more direct and thorough than the previous barrel explosion!

Tsk... ...

It's convenient to have the magic reaction happen directly inside the chamber, but the rate at which it breaks down... is just too fast!

Not only does it break down quickly, but it also occasionally explodes in front of you. Is this a time bomb or a weapon?

Adding a cartridge case to the bullet so that the reaction takes place directly inside the cartridge case could greatly increase the barrel's lifespan, but wouldn't that be similar to a rifled gun? And how to introduce the two types of magic into the cartridge case is also a problem!

Should we use cardboard or metal for packaging?

For a moment, Lanny was also in a dilemma!
