Li Yu went out and found a guard of the Arias family who was on duty outside. When the latter saw him, he quickly saluted respectfully.
"Prophet Merlin, you are here."
"Well, how was the competition going? What happened during the two days I was away."
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately told Li Yu everything that happened during this period.
After hearing that the female lord escaped death twice and finally completed a shocking comeback and defeated the Earth Bear, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little moved and asked, "Is Ilea injured in any way?"
The guard suddenly became hesitant when he heard this, "Ms. Ilea is indeed injured, but she does not allow anyone to reveal the extent of her injury, especially to you."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows. It was not surprising that Ilea would choose to hide her injury. After all, Miss Rabbit had a competition coming up, so it was understandable to prevent others from catching her weakness.
But it was a bit strange to hide it from him too. Besides, the girl used to look forward to his arrival, but this time it was uncharacteristic. Not only did she not meet him at the first time, but she huddled under the quilt and didn't even want to. exposed.
Li Yu thought of some possibility, and he didn't embarrass the guard. He just said calmly, "I understand."
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of hammering from behind, and the guard said, "It's Servant Watt. He's been hammering there since he came back today, and he's been hammering it ever since."
Li Yu followed the sound of blacksmithing and found Ge Lipeng in the backyard of the hotel. The latter seemed to have not noticed Li Yu's arrival and was still concentrating on the work at hand.
Li Yu didn't bother him. He stood aside and watched for a while. He saw that Ge Lipeng was installing infrared sights on the gun. He had already installed three of them, leaving only the last flint-hair ax. It took another quarter of an hour. Installation completed and calibration performed.
When he came to an end, Li Yu said, "What, is your opponent going to be fast tomorrow?"
Only then did Ge Lipeng notice Li Yu, and he hummed, "That man is quite agile. I saw his fighting, and his movements were light and graceful, but he was one step faster than the old knight, so in addition to the sight, I also prepared Got a new gadget.”
As Ge Lipeng spoke, he took out another wooden box from the stove. When he opened it, there was also a gun inside.
It's just that the barrel is three or four times thicker than an ordinary flintlock pistol.
"One of the seamless steel tubes you gave me happened to be larger than the others, so I made this one."
Li Yu took out the new gun and looked at it, "Is this... a shotgun?"
"To be precise, it's the ancestor of the shotgun - the thunderbolt." Ge Lipeng said, "The thunderbolt probably appeared in the 18th century, and was initially equipped for knights.
“Because it was easy to carry, and the diameter of the barrel was large enough and trumpet-shaped, making it easy to load bullets and gunpowder, cavalry equipped with thunderbolts were also called dragoons at the time.
"In addition, the detonator can fire multiple bullets at a time, and its killing radius is far beyond that of ordinary flintlock guns. It does not even require aiming. Later, it was also favored by the navy, pirates and privateers.
"In other words, as long as the distance is close enough, no matter how fast you move, you can't escape. It's perfect for dealing with such agile enemies. However, making the trumpet is more difficult than I thought.
"I also adjusted several plans to achieve the current results."
Li Yu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, I will hand this weapon to Ilea tomorrow.
"Thanks to you for this tournament, I will give you a brick house when you return to the green field, plus a thousand Kingdom Points as a reward. If you want anything else, you can tell me."
"Then I'm not welcome." Ge Lipeng said.

Shuangxiujiao is still making final preparations for tomorrow's battle, but a dinner party is currently going on in the King's Landing Tower.
This was actually a family banquet. Most of the people present were members of the royal family. In addition, there were also several teachers of the prince.
Edward II sat on the main seat, with Queen Heloise on his left and eldest son Garth on his right. The others sat in order according to their status.
Earl Clyde, who was involved in the frame-up of Ilea some time ago, is also among them as Garth's swordsmanship teacher.
However, Edward II did not mention this matter at all tonight. At the beginning of the banquet, he raised his glass and said solemnly.
"Today the empire lost a great knight, let us first toast to Cologne."
Earl Clyde was a little restless. He was not in the mood to drink right now. However, when Edward II mentioned the Silver Knight, as a friend of Cologne, he could only drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Then Edward II educated his sons to live in harmony and not to engage in unnecessary fights, so this second toast was proposed by the eldest prince, a toast to peace, and Clyde had to drink it.
During the third glass of wine, Edward II directly thanked Clyde and other teachers for their careful teaching of the princes and princesses.
Of course, Clyde couldn't escape, and after drinking these three drinks, Clyde was dizzy and drank six or seven drinks in a row. He was not very good at drinking in the first place, and he soon felt a little overwhelmed.
Edward II asked Clyde to be taken to a nearby room to rest. Clyde actually wanted to leave directly, but the emperor told him that there would be a performance for him to enjoy later.
So Clyde could only stay, but he already felt a little dizzy. With the help of the maid, he reluctantly made it to the room. Clyde soon vomited into a jar.
When the maid saw this, she went out to get Clyde water. Clyde vomited for a while and felt a little better. At this time, the maid came back again. Clyde took the water from her hand and rinsed his mouth. Spit it out.
When he raised his head again, he discovered that the person who had just handed him the water was not the maid who helped him into the room, but someone else.
"Priest of Cornelia?!" Clyde's expression changed drastically when he saw the person coming, and he couldn't hide the fear on his face.
The priestess said, "I just want to have a chat with you, Sir Clyde."
As she spoke, she stretched out a hand, but Clyde shrank back as if he had seen something terrifying, shouting, "No, no, don't touch me!"
"Why are you so scared? I'm here to help you." Cornelia said softly.
"Or do you prefer that Your Majesty come to investigate this matter? You know exactly what that means, don't you? His Majesty's temper has never been very good."
"It's not me. I have no grievances with Sir Ilea. How could I possibly frame her?" Clyde raised his voice.
"Then prove it to me." The priestess gently stroked Earl Clyde's cheek, "You who have gone astray, open your heart to me and let me see what is really thinking in your heart."
