The shopkeeper ran out from behind the counter with a vigorous figure, almost catching up with the adventurers. But the harem man and I still stood there, feeling lucky that we had escaped.
"Sister Elumia~ You still smell so good~~~"
I turned my head and found this guy looking up at me with an infatuated expression.
"You bastard kid, these are the things that are on your mind all day long! Haven't you had enough with so many beautiful girls around you?"
I punched this guy on the head without any mercy.
"Oh! Sister, are you going to beat me to death!" The harem man covered his head and squatted on the ground in pain.
"Yes, I'm going to beat you to death, a guy like you!"
"But... But Sister Elumia smells really good~ It's fragrant and doesn't have any odor, other girls can't compare~~~"
"It's not as good as that, it's your own girl, don't be picky about your own girl! No matter how fragrant I am, you can't get enough of me!"
Really, I am really playing... I mean you have to turn off the passive aura of deodorant when taking risks. Although the unconditional charm attribute is very useful, the feeling of being loved by everyone is really uncomfortable!
I feel like the incarnation of lust. Everyone who meets me only thinks about sex, but doesn’t care about my charm at all. It’s really depressing! Sister Clara may enjoy this feeling of being a seductress, but I don’t at all.
I don’t like them all! I just want to be a cold and beautiful girl!
"I'm going to see what's going on. Do whatever you like!"
Ignoring the pitiful harem man, I came to the door of the shop and saw a group of girls pointing in the distance.
"what happened?"
I asked as I moved closer to my sister... I mean Ellie.
"This is my sister's death knell." Ellie replied with a dark face.
"Stop making trouble and be serious!" I slapped Ellie on the head.
"Meow meow! Sister, don't hit me casually!" Ellie made an extremely cute cry.
"What a ghost! Since when did you have such cute attributes? What's going on?"
"I don't know, it seems like something exploded~" Pachi shook her head slightly.
"And the place where the explosion occurred is not far from here, it should be on the main road into the village~" Ellie added, covering her head.
"Then let's go over and take a look. Maybe it's related to the matter to be investigated?" I suggested.
"Well, hurry up and go."
Pachi nodded solemnly, and the scary expression she had when they were having fun just now disappeared. Why do the girls around me have the ability to change their faces? This must have been taught by Ling Mei and the others, right?
Jogging along the main road of the village, we soon saw the billowing smoke rising from behind the grove in front of us. Without any words, the three of us speeded up and rushed over in unison.
Turning around the woods, I saw a burning carriage parked in the middle of the road. No, to be precise, it was a pile of carriage wreckage scattered around the road, but the pile in the middle of the road was the largest. The air was full of
There was a thick smell of gunpowder smoke, and I even had the illusion that I was at the air pollution conference at 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve.
"This is... a gunpowder explosion?"
I approached the wreckage and pretended to investigate the scene, because apart from the fact that the car had exploded, I really couldn't see anything else.
"Ah! This horse is hopeless. It's all burnt and can't be eaten at all!" Ellie yelled from the side.
"So when you say hopeless, you mean unable to eat! Have you ever considered the horse's feelings? Hermes condemns it!"
"Huh? But how can you feel when the horse is dead?"
"That's not the point. Do you have love or not?"
"Yes~ So I have asked Sister Aini to change the horse and driver in the next life~"
"Let me go! What's all this! So the coachman is also dead! Don't just decide someone's fate in the next life casually!"
"Nothing casual~ Come and see sister, this is the body of the coachman..."
"Don't show me this kind of thing!"
"Oh, sister, it's true... I found the remains of a cigarette rod on this severed hand~"
Ai Li held a small piece of bloody fragment in her hand and shook it towards me. She seemed not to be affected by the mosaic on the ground at all.
"Smoking stick? In other words, this man is dragging a cart of gunpowder and still smoking? He is seeking death!"
"That's right~ So this horse was killed by him~ So there's nothing wrong with changing it for the rest of his life, right?"
Ellie threw the fragment aside casually, and then shook off the blood on her hands. Her skillful movements could not be mastered overnight.
"What are you thinking, sister? This is just a habit I got from dissecting and collecting materials after hunting monsters in the past. It's not a habit I got from killing people. Except for that person, I have never killed anyone myself." Ai Li was a little unhappy.
said.
"Okay, okay, don't be awkward, I just think your action is quite cold, there is no other meaning~"
"Hmph~! Sister, you are hiding something!" Ellie pouted and turned her head.
"Hey, this kid...Paqi, what did you find?" I could only turn to Paqi.
"This thing should be called black gunpowder, right? I remember sister Aini told us... We have never invented this kind of thing here, and Hurt didn't bring it this time, so where did this thing come from?"
Patty held a piece of broken wood, which seemed to be a fragment of a box. She shook her hand and poured a little gray-black powder onto her white and smooth leather gloves. After throwing the fragment aside, she condensed a layer of powder on her fingertips.
A flame came close to the powder in the palm of my hand. With a "squeak" sound, the powder was immediately ignited and turned into a wisp of smoke that dispersed into the air.
"So someone here finally invented gunpowder? And because of poor management, a safety incident immediately occurred?" I reasoned immediately.
"Amy, do you still remember what the shop owner said, that the mine mines alchemical materials such as sulfur."
Patch stared at the ashes in her hands in ecstasy, then blew a gentle breath, and the ashes immediately swirled into the air to join her companions, while her gloves were still spotless.
"Remember~ You mean the gunpowder was made in that mine?"
"I think so, but why do they go to the surrounding villages to buy charcoal? We have plenty of trees here, and they can make charcoal from local materials~"
"Buy charcoal? Who bought charcoal?"
"Amy, have you forgotten? The mayor said that a caravan that I have never seen before is buying charcoal near here recently. I think it is the newly established mine... But why is this? Why should we buy this kind of charcoal that can be done anywhere?
What? Why not use existing caravans but form new ones? Obviously all the caravans have gone to serve them?"
Patch was staring at the ground in rapt attention. Her eyes were twitching rapidly, as if she was quickly retrieving information that I couldn't see. I've never seen her like this, but I can guess that this should be a sign of her high-speed thinking.
"Sister, you should know that alchemy is actually chemistry in magical civilization, and our world is where technology and magic coexist. Because of this, our technological achievements are a mixture of the two technologies... and gunpowder, this is
Pure technological products should not appear in this world at all." Ai Li also walked over and said solemnly.
"Why? What if some alchemist accidentally created it? In our world, gunpowder was created by alchemists?"
"Because of the mindset."
"Mindset?"
"Yes. When people here study a certain technology, they will inevitably add magical elements. This is a way of thinking that has been cultivated for a long time, and it is impossible to change suddenly. Just like scientists on the other side of the earth will never change when they study problems.
Magic will be taken into consideration, and our scholars will never give up magic to achieve a certain purpose. This is the difference in civilized group thinking."
"Ah~~~So, what is going on?" I was a little confused.
"There is only one possibility. During the time we left, another time traveler came to this world."
"And this time traveler has received some kind of support and wants to do something big~"
"This big thing is..."
"Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and use technology from other worlds..."
"lord it over!"
"...Why do you two work so well together?" Looking at Aili and Pachi singing in harmony, I felt heartbroken.
"Ah~ I just communicated with Ellie in my head~ The high-speed thinking mode is really useful hahaha~~~"
Pachi waved her hands and laughed, looking like the same Pachi who was always at ease.
"No, I asked you, have you read too many online articles? In a world with high magic and high force, you rely on black powder to dominate? How unscrupulous do you have to think like this? I think it is more practical to become the king of fireworks and serve as CEO.
!”
"No, if the other party is not well-informed, he may really do such a thing. Sister, do you know that junior adventurers do not have the skill of magic barrier, they can be injured by gunpowder guns. Even low-level adventurers
Adventurers, their magic barrier can only block an attack such as a light arrow..."
"According to this incremental relationship, a top adventurer like Ellie...I mean an ordinary Valkyrie level, can at most block the attack of an ordinary aerial bomb. If the opponent is confident of mass-producing weapons and forming
As for the army, it's not impossible to cause a storm~" Paqi narrowed her eyes and said.
"But the other party must not know that after an adventurer reaches a high level, his strength increases exponentially. This is why most people can only reach a high level at most and cannot continue to break through to become the top... Of course, I, this Valkyrie, is no longer anything.
It's top-notch, I'm the legendary out-of-spec hehehe~~" Ellie scratched her head and smiled triumphantly.
"So... what should we do?" I no longer know what medicine these two guys are selling.
"Of course I'm going to meet this time-traveler who wants to be the king~" Pachi put on a sinister expression.
"Yes, those who want to destroy the harmony and stability of the world must die!" Ellie also put on an evil expression.
"..."
These two guys are really villains, right? They became good people because of the influence of me, the Super Virgin, right? This must be right, right?
