"Sir, you are joking. I have to thank you, Lord. If it weren't for the gold coins you gave me, I wouldn't even be able to eat!"

Brian was holding a large piece of meat in his hand, he was full of energy, and he was wearing a short silk shirt. If he said he was a noble, no one would disbelieve him.

"Sir, would you like to come and sit at my place for a while? I just bought a piece of meat from the hunters in the country. Would you like to have a try?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Brian. I don't dare to go there. The last time I went back, it cost me 4 gold coins, haha!"

Seeing Brian's cheerful look, Gervais remembered the scene when Brian had breakfast when he went to get the sword that morning. Hard black bread was his only food, because the black bread was too hard to swallow.

Add a bowl of boiling water and eat while soaking.

"Cough...cough...Lord, the 4 gold coins I charged you last time were really the cost of strengthening materials. I didn't charge you an extra copper plate."

Brian's face instantly turned red, and he was obviously very embarrassed by what Gervais said.

"You're kidding, you're kidding! Brian, you don't have to take it seriously."

Seeing Brian reacting so fiercely, Gervais remembered that this was a different world, unlike the other side on Earth. Everyone had been accustomed to casual jokes between friends since childhood. In this world, neither nobles nor common people had humor.

The concept of feeling.

Saying that, Gervais raised the musket in his hand and politely declined Brian's invitation: "I have business now, and I will definitely go to your place to sit down when I have time in the future."

"Hey! Lord, what do you have in your hand?"

After listening to Gervais's explanation, Brian finally got rid of the embarrassment. Suddenly he saw Gervais's musket shaking and let out a surprise. He couldn't help but take two steps forward and looked at Gervase's hand with wide eyes.

musket.

"A musket is a kind of weapon, but it has just been made. I am about to test its power!"

Hearing Brian's surprise, Gervais laughed. Although Brian was unlucky, his alchemy skills were really useless. Gervais guessed that he must have seen the materials for making muskets, so he was so surprised.

.

"Sir, is this 'weapon' forged with mithril?"

Brian's eyes brightened when he heard Gervais say it was a weapon. As an excellent alchemist, when he first saw the luster of the musket barrel, he concluded that it must be mithril forging, but he

It is unimaginable why such precious mithril was used to forge such a strange-looking thing. It has no edge or spikes and looks like a fire stick.

"Yes, Brian, you read that right, this musket is made of mithril!"

Gervais nodded to Brian with a smile and gave him an affirmative answer.

"Sir, can I go and watch you experiment with this weapon?"

Brian was really curious as to why Gervais was willing to use mithril to forge this fire stick. Judging from the appearance, just forging this fire stick-like weapon would cost 3 gold coins worth of mithril, so he thought

Let's see what kind of power a weapon with such a price can exert.

"Of course Brian, I will go to the open space outside the castle to experiment now. You can come and watch!"

Brian is also a talent, and he is a desperate talent. Of course Gervais would not object to such a request, so he readily agreed to Brian's request.

"Thank you, Lord. I won't delay you, Lord. I'll put the meat away and come over to watch!"

With Gervais' permission, Brian was very excited, so he saluted Gervais and quickly ran towards his stone house with the piece of meat.

After Brian left, Gervais stopped staying and rode directly to the castle. After a short delay due to the meeting and conversation with Brian, the little maid Anna had already obtained Gervais from the castle.

The things ordered by Si were waiting for Gervais' arrival under the gentle slope of the castle.

After reuniting with Anna, Gervais called Ike and asked him to take ten members of the Guards to watch. I believe that after they see the power of the musket, they will understand what the training of raising the gun is.

use.

As for the other ordinary guards, Laurie's team was responsible for guarding the castle today, while Audry's team had already put on equipment and went to the edge of the mountains according to the items requested by Gervais to practice running under heavy loads.

Under the leadership of Gervais, a group of people once again came to the open space where the grenade was tested last time. The huge explosion crater in the open space has not been filled in, because this big hole was caused by Gervais, and they felt that it represented Gervais.

This is an incredible feat, so no one will destroy the appearance of this place before Gervais gives an order.

"Anna, give me the vest (combat vest) and leather armor first!"

Arriving at the location, Gervais dismounted and came to Anna's side.

"Here you go, my lord!"

After hearing Gervais's instructions, Anna quickly took off the combat vest and leather armor from the saddle and handed them to Gervais.

"Ike, send two people to set up a wooden stake next to the big pit and fix this leather armor on the wooden stake."

Taking over the combat vest and leather armor from Anna, Gervais turned around and started to give instructions to Ike. The leather armor in his hand was the trophy from the last time he intercepted Lanni's convoy, because Bernard's recent work schedule has been scheduled.

It was full, so these worn-out leather armors had not yet been sent for disposal. Gervais happened to be using the leather armor to test the power of the musket.

"Yes, sir!"

Yikcai took the 10-man personal guard aside. After standing at attention and taking a rest, he heard Gervais's order. He immediately stepped forward and took the leather armor from Gervais' hand, and ordered two team members to move toward the center of the open space.

Go.

After Ike took away the leather armor, Gervais took out a small leather pouch from a pocket of the combat vest. The leather pouch was crescent-shaped in appearance, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The opening of the pouch had an iron round tube.

, this is the special leather bag used to hold gunpowder. Unscrewing the seal on the leather bag, Gervais began to load the musket.

When Gervais was loading the musket, Brian, who had put the meat back home, had also arrived. Seeing Gervais lowering his head and operating the mithril 'weapon', he shamelessly took a few steps forward and observed carefully.

Gervase made every move.

It was also the first time for Gervais to load a musket, but in the past few days he had tried his best to recall the descriptions he had seen on the Internet in his previous life.

Gervais first poured the gunpowder into the muzzle of the gun. Because it was the first test, Gervais did not dare to pour too much. He stopped pouring after pouring a little.

After the gunpowder was filled, Gervais used the iron drill he took off the musket to poke into the barrel to compact the gunpowder. After confirming the compaction, he took a small ball of cotton and stuffed it into the barrel.

, compact it again with an iron drill.

After the above work is completed, it is the turn of the lead shot to be put into the barrel. After the lead shot is put into the barrel, in order to prevent the lead shot from rolling out when the muzzle of the gun is downward, a ball must be inserted outside the lead shot.

Gather the cotton together and then compact it with an iron drill.

Even though Gervais had thought about it many times in his mind before, now that he was doing it himself, the process of loading ammunition took him a full five minutes. When he finally finished loading the musket, he inserted the iron drill back into the musket.

By that time, Ike had returned with two team members, and a wooden stake had been erected in the distance, with leather armor fixed on the one-and-a-half-meter-high stake.

After the ammunition was loaded and the target was erected, Gervais poured a little gunpowder on the fire gate at the end of the barrel, then lit the match, ready to start experimenting with the world's first musket.

"Anna, Brian, you two cover your ears! No one else is allowed to cover their ears."
Chapter completed!
