The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

But the headache was that this idea made Xie Yuan unable to make any progress in a short period of time.

The reason is that Xie Yuan doesn't understand the basic rules of magic in this world.

In this world, magic is a science whose essence is to control, suppress and harness elemental energies.

Speaking of which, when the celestial spheres converged, magic entered Ciri's world. Not long after, someone discovered that magic was a living existence that could change and control. No one knew who the mage who was the first to discover this talent hidden in his body was.However, what happened next was that not long after magic was discovered in the world, many gifted people gradually gathered together to learn from each other and enhance their abilities.

This period is seen as the beginning of wizardry, and these groups are the prototypes of schools of magic.

These people are born with the ability to perceive chaotic energy—the Sources who are sensitive to the power of elements (air, water, earth, and fire). Such people are called "Fayuan".

People like Margarita, Yennefer, Triss, and men were discovered to have this talent since they were young, and were collected into the Magic Academy for teaching.

After continuous learning and years of control, they can use magic to do many things that are difficult for ordinary people to do, and they can delay their own aging through magical means, so warlocks are very long-lived, and warlocks who are over a hundred years old look very young—whether Margarita, Yennefer, or even Kelly are tens of hundreds of years old...even the youngest Triss is also in her seventies.

As for their choice of appearance, male warlocks tend to look older, because it looks more majestic and intelligent; while female warlocks prefer young and beautiful faces-due to long-term study of magic, most warlocks will lose their fertility.

This is the origin and ability of warlocks and sorceresses in the mainstream magic world.

But what Xie Yuan studied was the magic seal system of the demon hunter.

Just like a mule, it is neither a horse nor a donkey, but it has the characteristics of both.The little tricks of the demon hunter are between ordinary people and archmages—it comes from the tiny amount of magic ability obtained after the mutation of the grass trial. The demon hunter can use some extremely simple fast-casting spells: Alder who shakes the mind, Igni who controls fire, and Axie who hypnotizes, etc., but more complex and powerful ones are impossible.

For things that you don't understand, you can only ask someone who understands, such as Margarita.

"An amplifier that concentrates and projects the power of Alder's seal?!"

After listening to Xie Yuan's idea with a frown, Margarita was silent for a while, her face showing seriousness: "I don't want to lie to you, I think it's feasible in theory—you're actually constructing a way to compress the output of ordinary seals to increase Alder's power and concentrate it on a single receptor."

"It's not difficult," Margarita thought about her words. "In fact, it's just a combination of materials, energy pathways, and magic runes. As long as I calculate it properly, I can directly adjust a suitable ratio, so that the power of Alder's seal can be concentrated at an angle as large as an egg."

Speaking of Margarita, she also used her fingers to describe a general range.

"But..." Xie Yuan knew that Margarita would not be so dignified if she was fine, there must be something embarrassing about this method.

Margarita sighed: "Yuan, I don't know how you came up with such an idea, but this idea broke the window paper like a needle, which made me not only understand the mechanism at once, but also imagine an unacceptable follow-up."

"Oh?" Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"In the past period, the crossbow was even forbidden to be used by churches and nobles, because it could cause unstoppable damage to them through anyone's hand."

Margarita looked worried: "And now, the birth of your weapon, I think it will further intensify people's fear of magic. The lethality of magic can go into the streets and alleys from military warfare... I think this kind of weapon will even have a bad influence on us warlocks, and even our reputation."

"I'm sorry, Yuan." Margarita apologized, "This is the first time you ask me for advice, but limited to my position as a warlock, I cannot be the promoter of this matter."

"Okay, it's okay." Although Xie Yuan felt sorry for this, he also understood, "Then I'll try to study it myself."

After all, not everyone wants to associate their name and reputation with a weapon.

"I... It's hard for me to say that I hope you go well." Margarita knew that she couldn't influence the man in front of her, but she still made a final request, "But please stop exploring, you are making a devil's weapon."

Well, since he couldn't get help from the theoretical experts, Xie Yuan, who went downstairs, simply came to Eskel's side. He had just completed an autopsy on a vampire, and Geralt was biting an apple next to him to admire... a strange style.

After learning about Xie Yuan's intentions, Geralt, Eskel and even Lambert surrounded him with great interest.

The three demon hunters present have all seen the great power of modern firearms, but it is a pity that because there are no supporting maintenance and manufacturing facilities, firearms are only for them for a while, and they will never use them again.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan was able to produce a set of projectile weapons from Alder's seal that differed from gunpowder weapons in principle, but its power should not be underestimated-according to Xie Yuan's words, it was called Alder pistol.
