From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 66: Humans evolved because they learned to use tools

“What commission? ”

“I want to explore the ruins of a laboratory, but the simple human soldiers make me uneasy, and I don’t worry about how many people there are, and the lives of soldiers are not wasted.” So I need the help of professionals. ”

“What do you need me to do, guide? ”

“More than that. Lan shook his head and thought about the troubles he might encounter in the laboratory: “Exploring the ruins is a hindrance to bringing too many people, and I want to bring as few people as possible.” In this way, some strong guys were needed to fill the vacancy of insufficient manpower, and it happened that my aunt opened the royal treasury to me.

So the first question: how much do you know about the recipe for the alchemy bomb? I would like to ask you to help make some for my soldiers. ”

The inventor of the alchemy bomb was not a demon hunter, and many warlocks and alchemists and even apothecaries knew a little about the principles, and Geralt had no need to keep these techniques secret.

“If you are strong enough, the honeycomb bomb, dragon dream, and dancing star should meet your requirements. ”

[Honeycomb Bomb]: Deals fragmentation damage to enemies within the explosion range, dealing a small amount of flame damage. With the exception of a few extremely powerful boss-level enemies, it can effectively fight almost any monster.

[Dragon Dream]: An alchemical bomb whose explosion releases flammable, violently burning gas. The gas of multiple Dragon Dreams can ignite each other, causing a chain reaction that can damage a large number of enemies spread over a wide area.

[Dancing Star]: A bomb with huge destructive power, a bomb that can burst into flames. It is especially effective against creatures that like group attacks and are afraid of fire, and can burn enemies. The gas generated with the Dragon Dream Bomb has a miracle.

Lane was overjoyed to hear this, these were exactly what he needed: “Great, how many of these bombs do you usually carry on you?” ”

Geralt reached into his alchemy backpack and took out an object: “This is a honeycomb, I usually carry four on my body.” Dragon Dream and Dancing Star only make a few targeted before the special mission. Bombs are expensive to build, and more often I use a sword. ”

Lan scratched his chin and asked: “I have felt the honeycomb, the power is good, then make forty first.” The other two, you also do ten first, I will see the effect, if the power is considerable, it is the same as honeycomb. ”

Geralt was stunned, plucked his ears and asked, “… How much do you say? ”

…………

Half a month later.

The martial arts arena of the City Guard.

Rann and Geralt stood opposite each other, their feet slowly probing.

After several bumps on the sword ridge, the two began to rotate at the same time as if they had tacit understanding, like sword moves and dance steps, light under their feet, and the sword swept like the wind.

The sound of “Dangdangdang” like iron striking continued to sound in the martial arts arena, and the harsh and harsh sound of steel friction tormented the ear nerves of everyone watching the battle.

In the martial arts arena, everyone watching the battle whispered. The soldiers surrounded the two in the center, and each collision of swords brought a burst of exclamation.

In the crowd, Schild said to Ace with a look of admiration: “It’s amazing, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone comparable to Lord Count.” ”

Ace nodded: “You can see his skills from when he was a griffin.” Monsters hunt humans, demon hunters hunt monsters, it is really powerful. What’s more, this is the famous ‘white wolf’. ”

He said and patted Swarde’s shoulder and said, “Don’t look, most of the month has passed, what can you learn?” It is better to familiarize yourself with those alchemy bombs at this time, which is related to Lord Count’s plans later. ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the shooting range.

Sward turns to find a friend, but Ace goes archery, House likes to spend time with Black Wind, and he and the City Guard are not as good as Ace. I could only turn my head and continue to enjoy the duel between the two superb swordsmen.

“Who says you can’t learn? You can’t learn something by watching it a few more times…” Schild said to himself unconvinced, his eyes shining as he watched the collision of two fierce men in the field.

With a “click”, the unopened training sword in Lan’s hand suddenly shattered into a small piece. Without waiting for him to react and adjust his sword, the pace in the rotation did not have time to stop with inertia.

After another stormy slash for five or six rounds, Lan’s sword actually broke apart from the middle, and half of the sword spun and flew out.

And Lane also stumbled a few steps, and then quickly distanced himself from Jerotra.

Geralt asked breathlessly, “So far?” ”

Lan nodded and looked at the practice sword in his hand: “That’s it.” This sword, which had been tortured for half a month, could finally rest. ”

“It’s hard to imagine that your strength can be so great. Geralt sighed, “I don’t even think a few guys in the school are inferior to you.” ”

Lane shook his head: “But it’s still a lot worse than you in terms of skills.” ”

For half a month, Lane pulled Geralt to practice every day, as if treating him as a fully automatic sparring machine. So far, Lane can finally use the skills of sword dance in actual combat, and has an effective means of coping with multiple enemies.

Of course, the [Boomerang Sword Dance] in the system panel is still dim. Lan is looking forward to how much his sword moves will be strengthened when he opens this skill.

Rann and Geralt sat to the side to rest. Geralt began to close his eyes a little tiredly, he practiced with Rann during the day, and he had to find time to make alchemical bombs, which was a big burden for him.

Rann watches the soldiers’ training. Less leaning, he beckoned to Ace, and the arrow attendant quickly ran over.

“What about Mirva? ”

Ace replied: “She doesn’t like the barracks very much, she didn’t come out in the morning, and she has been in the shooting range of the mansion for the past few days.” ”

Lane nodded and asked again, “How is she?” ”

Ace hesitated: “Lord Count, with all due respect… She’s a woman. The warriors should not be allowed to take their swords until they have finished their sacrifices. ”

Lan gave him a blank look and sighed, “It’s a blessing that your family is still knights in Sintra who dares to say such things.” ”

What distinguishes Sintra from other countries? – The answer is “lioness”.

Ace blinked his eyes in amazement, reacted suddenly, and looked around in a cold sweat.

Lane slapped him on the head to bring him back to his senses, and reprimanded, “Can your arrow skills compare to Lady Ellie?” Say such things now. Moreover, when the enemy holds a sword, he does not look closely at whether he is male or female, old or young. I ask you how Mirva is doing, answer me now! ”

Rubbing his brain, Ace muttered a few words like “chivalry” and “etiquette”, and returned:

“Her archery skills are astounding. The ridiculous toy-like bow in his hand alone can outperform most of the city guards. Give her a guy that’s strong enough, and after a while, I think she can even outperform most of the tree spirits! ”

Lane nodded, expectably satisfied.

Ace then added, “But…”
