Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 149: Modification and Listening

Now that it's all right, Claude returns to the woods to continue his leisurely life, touring the woods, practicing magic, and studying the trial of firearms.

The only thing unhappy was Claude wanted to visit Alexon in the morning, but he didn't expect to eat a closed-door spoon. Ericsson refused to see him or let him in. His mother, Mrs. Elena, didn't say anything to apologize, just looking cold at Claude, as if she didn't know him.

Obviously, they have also received bad news of the destruction of the merchant fleet by pirates, as well as news of the deportation of Captain Otruni to an uninhabited island. Unlike the families of those sailor crew members, Eriksson and his mother tilted their anger to the heads of Mr. Morsan, the masters behind the opening of new routes and investor fleets, as the culprits responsible for the expulsion of Captain Otruni and others to the fate of an uninhabited island.

Claude could only return to his happy life, and he understood Eriksson and his mother's apprehensions about Captain O'Trooney, but could not forgive them for their anger. In fact, Captain O'Trooney himself had assembled a group of friends to invest in a merchant's cargo, and he was one of the shareholders of the merchant fleet.

In the afternoon, Verricolo arrived at the woodland, and he told Claude that he was in Ericsson's room in the morning because he heard the news and wanted to comfort Ericsson. Claude was happy in the past, but I didn't expect Alexander to stop him from going downstairs to see Claude.

He said Claude had a closed-door spoon or a light one. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Morsan went to deliver a condolence gold, and Eriksson yelled at them, cursing them as if they were the murderers of their father and asking them to return their father. And so did Mrs. Elena, throwing all the condolences out the door and letting them go, saying that Captain O'Trooney would definitely be back, that there was no need to send these condolences on behalf of the dead, and that it was embarrassing for everyone present.

Well, Claude had to laugh and didn't think he'd lose a good friend. Alexander has always admired his father, and when he grew up, he wanted to be the captain of a distant fishing boat like his father, riding his beloved sea boat across the sea. But no one expected him to blame Mr. Morsan, the investors, for what happened to Captain O'Trooney, even Claude had a big black pot on his back.

Forget it, there's nothing to compare, Ericsson, who worships his father so severely, is still mentally childish, and he's not really mature yet. Refusing Claude's door-to-door visit meant that their relationship as friends had come to an end, and Claude was not angry, he was just sorry for the friendship that existed.

Because the spring had come and Claude had stopped hunting, the arrival of Velikro had left Claude unable to come up with any interesting projects, so he took out his own trial firearm to show Velikro.

Verricolo didn't ask where Claude got the barrel, and after the test shot, he just asked Claude some questions. What's the point of doing that with a firearm that doesn't use a flare rope? The only difference in the same method of loading is that the ignition was changed from open fire to rock firing, with little improvement in the speed of firing. It's not just range and power that's worse than a flash rope gun, even when it's fired, so it's completely unnecessary to replace the flash rope gun with a flash gun based on these drawbacks...

Claude was half pissed off, but think about it. Nearly six hundred years of fire rope gun development has reached its ultimate, and cumbersome fire rope gun firing steps have been simplified into several movements, just as Claude can fire two or three times in a minute if he moves quickly. And the flare gun he tried was not as fast as this. One minute of firing was already quite fast. The main problem was the flare. One time the flame could not be fired, the hammer and lock needed to be reboarded, the medicine pool had to be checked again, and then the aim had to be retaken.

But Verricolo also praised Claude for the sights and doors he had installed on the barrel, both of which were set up to allow the novice to quickly grasp the essence of the firing, making it possible to fire with precision. From this point of view, he thinks it would be more appropriate to move the fire rope gun pool to the side, empty the front of the barrel, and install the sight of the door and the gun head...

Claude can't cry, and that's probably the limitation of this otherworldly firearm researcher, who only focuses his eyes on the most powerful range and powerful firearm, not interested in falling behind. It is not known that firearms are the nose ancestors of modern firearms. It is the gradual improvement of firearms that makes modern rifles appear.

Claude was also too lazy to explain that the development of the firearm was more promising than that of the flare gun, but he made a request, hoping that Claude would improve his Gali 3 type flare gun and, as he had just said, move the accessories on the front of the original barrel, the tray cover, the flare clamp handle, the hammer spring to the side, empty the middle and install the photo door and sight, and he was willing to pay for all the modifications.

Well, in the face, Claude finally agreed to Verricolo's request. Verricolo went home to fetch his vintage fire rope gun, and Claude thought about how to convert the charcoal kiln that Mr. and Mrs. Theori had made into a tiny iron punch shop, at least it looked like the accessories were burned out of the kiln.

Claude was obviously worried, however, and when Verricolo brought his vintage flare gun, he excused his family from saying goodbye. He only agreed with Claude to come and get the gun after five days. He did not stay in the woods as Claude had imagined, and Claude was busy retrofitting the vintage flare gun. Claude's layout at the charcoal kiln was busy.

Also, after Véricolo's departure, Claude found that he had left a gold crown on the stool he had sat on, apparently at Véricolo's expense, only to fear that Claude would refuse to stay in secret.

Claude thinks he's really going to put a little kung fu on this vintage flare gun in Villicro, and since Villicro left this gold crown, he won't take it back or even deny that he left it. And Claude had to do everything in his power to make this vintage flare gun a little better.

Claude simply dismantled the rope gun in its entirety, and the Gali III was more than two decades old army-mounted, and the muzzle was trumpet-shaped. Claude took the barrel directly into the alchemy spell array and refined it again, changing the muzzle to a straight barrel, improving the performance of the lower barrel.

Of course, the only thing that can't move is the number engraved on the barrel, which is registered. As long as the barrel number is there, there will be no problem with the annual firearm inspection, even if you change the face of the firewire gun.

With the Alchemy Character Array, Claude can easily modify a fireline gun, no matter what the device accessory, in the Alchemy Character Array it's like rubber clay, Claude can easily shape the parts he needs. It only took three days for Claude to complete the renovation of the Gali 3.

Instead of recovering from its original appearance, this vintage torch now looks just like Claude's newest Obash 2 torch gun, and Claude even replaced it with a wooden stock. The only thing that made Claude uncomfortable was to move the cartridge and the flame rope clamping handle to the side, and the original streamlined gun body protruded a large chunk to the right, looking very burdensome.

But after a test shot, Claude found that Villicro was not really making any sense, and that firing with a fire rope was much more reliable than firing with a rock. The only step is to fire two more steps, ignite the flame rope, clamp it, and before each launch, move the head of the flame rope to the top of the cartridge and wait for the aim to fire. But as opposed to the constant dull firing of guns, the firing of a flame rope is a necessity.

The revamped rope gun is a practical success, especially with the door and sight, which greatly improves shooting accuracy. Claude thought again and again, why don't you just convert your Obash 2-type flare gun to something like this? I was going to convert it into a firearm, but there's really no way to improve it now, so let's do this first.

Five days soon passed, and Villicro arrived in the woods on time to pick up the gun. Claude was relieved when he saw the modified rope gun and couldn't release it without asking the details of Claude's modification.

The two men were excited to try guns in the open area of the woodland, and Claude discovered that he was running out of gunpowder and guns. So we drove the carriage and Villicro to town to buy gunpowder.

Villicro thought it would be more affordable to go to the old Monk's fishing gear and onboard supplies dealership in the communal terminal area, as Uncle Vakuri reported prices that were more expensive than other grocery stores, but his gunpowder and guns were of good quality, unlike some grocery stores that sold impure gunpowder, which affected range and power, and the smoke was high.

Well, go to the common dock area. It doesn't matter if Claude is more expensive. Good quality is the most important thing.

There was something wrong with Claude passing through the old street, and the occasional pedestrians were panicked and panicked. Before Claude could figure out what was going on, the carriage was stopped by a few big men. It's just that these guys didn't do the interrogation, they just glanced in the trunk and found no one else to wave.

“What's going on?” Seeing Verricolo look like he doesn't care, Claude asks after the carriage leaves those big guys for a while.

“Don't you know?” Vericulo asked, and then he understood: “You stay in the woods, you rarely come here. No wonder you don't know. ”

“It's all right, the Sharks and the Black Snakes are at war again.” Villicro explained.

“War?” Claude remembers the night Gerard was tied to a gang, and the body of the guard who was lying in front of him and the Catherine sisters. Perhaps it was the experience that made Gerard decide and the Black Snake flip...

“Where did he get so much courage? The merchant fleet is in trouble. The sharks won't return any of the elite skeletons. What does he take to fight the Black Snakes? The county guard battalion is still in charge of the town. Is he so bold as to provoke him that he's not afraid to be arrested? Besides, isn't he afraid that Bill, the big Black Snake Butcher, will come out of the barracks and use his squadron to uproot the sharks?” Claude was really curious.

Villicro shook his head and said, "I don't know the real reason, but what surprised everyone after the war was that the black snake would be so mixed up that it was almost defenceless. The strangest thing is that the black snake club's penis, fat cow Bowen, disappeared, and even a bunch of the black snake club's best men died. As a result, the Black Snake will have no one in charge and will be destroyed by the sharks. Now, most of the Black Snake Club's people are hiding from each other.

Sharks are also smart this time, not to get together to fight, but, as we've just seen, to attack the Black Snake Club in 35% of the way, avoiding the vigilance of the security camp. This way, even when questioned, you can say you're looking for someone, just like they just checked our carriage. As far as I know, the Black Snake will lose a lot this time, and a dozen little heads will be caught by the Shark and then disappeared. We all know where they are... ”

Verricolo looked in the direction of Lake Beringa.

Claude understood, “In the lake? ”

“No, the bottom of the lake…” replied Villicro.
