Mysterious Job Called Oda Nobunaga

57 Man who made a gun

"With my weapons, I can win the war. I can hunt easily." A middle-aged man with a beard and blind.

It looks more like an engineer than a scholar. It doesn't matter if anyone thinks of a new siege weapon. I checked the name again. It's called Ortomba. If you think it's a weird name, a dwarf? Speaking of which, she is quite short. Many dwarves are short, even in adults. Kerala is quite tall, probably because it contains a lot of blood.

"What is it like?" "Yes, my name is a gun. I shoot a small tiny ball from a metal tube with the power of gunpowder and shoot at enemies."

"How is it different from a bow and arrow?" "It's completely different. It's hard to be affected by the wind, it has a high killing ability, and it takes much less time to become an expert than a bow and arrow. If it goes away, it will not ignite, so it is vulnerable to rain. ''

The funnelian dog's ears moved slightly. Did you notice in the merchant's sense of smell even if it became money? "My name is Funnellia. Why did you decide to make that weapon?"

"We and our dwarf settlements often get robbed by bandits, but we usually fight off, but it's hard for men to keep watch on the night, so women and children can fight. I thought I could make a new weapon. ''

Altomba continues to talk.

"My job is blacksmithing, but in villages I used to use gunpowder to intimidate and attack for a long time. I used gunpowder a lot in mountain work, so I could not do anything with this. I thought.

I suddenly became interested.

"At first it didn't work at all. I've been bombed and killed, but my job seems to be good for this and development has gone a long way."

I could not miss the word occupation. "Wait. What's your profession?"

"Yes, it's pretty special, so you might not believe it-it's Kunitomoshu. It seems like a blacksmithing profession."

――If you are a national friend! ?

Overlord barks. Hey, do you know what Nobunaga is? ――Kunitomo is a land of gunsmithing. That's the place where we made guns. Does the gun have weapons in the world of Nobunaga? Is it strong?

-Strong and nothing, the gun had destroyed the cavalry corps with his gun. The cavalry corps would not be able to fight unless approached, destroying each one with a gun. The enemy died, even through his armor. I also took a few generals.

If there is such a thing, let me tell at last…. My profession ...

――As I taught, the overlord is not so detailed as to be able to teach how to make it from scratch. Generally speaking, it will not be transmitted.

Is that so too? If I were told to make a sword myself, I would say it was impossible.

"Ok, Altomba, you're going to be hiring, but I'm more worried about the gun than the official.

"I'm sorry. It would be strange to ask me here, but would you like to make my village tax collection manager a more decent one ... ?? When we come to the collection, we always require a banquet, which is burdened like another tax ... "

"I knew that too. Depending on your work, you can make a half tax-exempt settlement. Bring guns and other things this time."

I was grinning after Altomba left. `` As expected, there is only a large population near the royal capital, and there are people with mysterious occupations '' `` Yes, I was also a strange occupation called Akechimitsu Hide, so I feel like I am not another person affair, I feel familiarity '' Is a serious face, but this is probably the face at work.

The interview was divided into several days, so I had another visit to Altomba after the next day. Indeed, what Oltemba had was a metal tube.

I asked for a bow and arrow target, so I immediately took him to an outdoor bow training area. "It's sunny today and I think it will succeed." "Yeah, show me what it is."

Made the same distance as general archer training. According to Altonba, he said that he could aim at a greater distance, but the same conditions as the bow would make a difference.

"I'm just a blacksmith, so I'm not very good at setting my aim ... but still, if I'm so close, I think it's okay."

When he lit the rope behind, Olomba pointed the barrel. "Oh, yeah, it sounds big, so it might be better to keep your ears closed."

-Paaaan!

Before Altomba finished speaking, a high pitched sound was heard. The sound resounds strangely in the back of the ear. The temple seemed to be the devil's work. Some of them were pulling back.

But what matters is the result. There was a hole in the corner of my target that was almost like my thumb. When the soldier examined, a sharp bullet was stuck in the hardened soil behind it.

"What about it? You can get enough fatal wounds away from it twice as far away, even if you put on your armor and try it out."

"Oltomba, tax on your settlement, half this year," I said on the spot.

It's a cheap purchase compared to getting this weapon.
