You and me under the world tree

He took a deep breath.

"In the end, it's because you have 'power' yourself, so all you think about is how to use your power to the extreme, and find a way to use it if you don't have power."

Magic itself was born for this.

"Whether you are gods, giants, or even elves and dwarves, you have never experienced the hardships of life, so you have experienced the simplest...'wisdom'!"

For a moment, Utgarde felt his hair stand on end.

He felt a strong sense of crisis.

Immediately afterwards, a small black hole appeared in front of him.

The sage held something in his hands.

"Giant, do you know what impotent and weak humans are chasing after?"

Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen: Fast, Convenient, Destroyed

At this moment, various descriptions of human beings could not help appearing in Utgard's mind.

But perhaps it was because Hodder had already given those adjectives, so Utgard's thoughts could not help but diverge in this direction:,

Yes, human beings are impotent and fragile!

This is completely the orthodox cognition of the Nine Realms, and it is also the 'common sense' of Utgard as a giant.

Everyone knows that this race is at the bottom of the Nine Realms.

Their lives are the shortest, and their bodies the weakest.

Even the runes cannot be completely learned, and the so-called magic cannot be promoted.

Well, except for the last sentence, which is open to question, everything else is correct.

But now, what Hodder is showing now is impacting his solid cognition.

Originally, he thought that the power of the evil dragon displayed by this man should be his trump card that he was proud of, but now, another thing he took out was full of mysteries.

"What frail human beings seek..."

Just repeating what Hodder said before, the giant frowned.

At this moment, he could no longer care about Hodder.

Utgard could easily determine the source of the so-called 'danger' he felt now - it was a 'long metal pipe with a wooden handle' held in the hand of that man.

And the reason for describing it this way is because Utgard doesn't know what this thing is.

I've never seen it, so I don't know how to describe it.

And the so-called 'metal long pipe' is already the most vivid thing he can think of.

And from the inside of the metal tube that seemed extremely narrow in his eyes, he felt a faint magical atmosphere.

In other words...

"A magical creation."

"Yes, this is indeed a magical creation."

'crash'

He turned over the so-called wooden handle long tube in his hand.

Originally he was holding the wooden handle, but now he was holding the metal tube.

"However, there are actually very few magics used. Guess which ones are there?"

"..."

Hearing this, Utgard frowned even deeper.

To be honest, right now he has no clue at all.

Because now, he can only feel a faint breath, which means that the rune magic itself is in a 'standby' state.

Since it is not running, of course there is no way to capture it according to the 'trace'.

Not to mention that he didn't even see the specific rune sequence now.

In other words, can only guess?

"The function of this kind of thing..."

He just stared at the 'metal long pipe', combined with his previous sense of crisis.

There is also the distance between the two parties.

This thing is obviously not a blade, nor is it a strike weapon.

So naturally, his thoughts came to its real purpose.

"Shooting weapons."

"Correct."

Howard raised an eyebrow.

"And it only needs to be used with one hand."

"So, this is the wand you designed."

"..."

After hearing what Utgard said, the corner of Hodder's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Wands... that kind of thing is too demanding for a human being."

"..."

This time, it was Utgard who felt speechless.

The frost giant wanted to say something else, but the words were held in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

After all, what can he say now?

Is the wand demanding to use?

Even the most low-level apprentices, even those apprentices who know nothing about advanced magic and only know how to rub fireballs, can use wands.

Because they don't need a deep understanding of magic at all, they just need to 'activate' it.

It’s just that I might have to control the flight trajectory and the landing point of the magic a little later... Wait!

Suddenly, Utgarde's eyes focused on the metal 'pipe', and the dark hole seemed to be telling something.

"You seem to have realized it."

Howard said.

"What incompetent humans like us are after is more convenient and faster things, and the most important thing is to be able to get started immediately!"

Then, he held the wooden handle again, and aimed the hole of the metal pipe at the giant.

Then pull the trigger.

Immediately after...

'boom'

Accompanied by a strong explosion, a projectile was ejected directly from the inside.

'Om'

In an instant, a barrier visible to the naked eye appeared in front of Utgard.

And the projectile stopped moving after hitting the barrier.

It didn't even do any damage to Utgarde's own barrier.

Then, the giant's expression looked quite interesting.

How should I put it, he even looks a little disappointed now.

As for why...

"Is this the end?"

Staring at the smoking 'long pipe' in the human hand, Utgard asked.

"Well, it's over."

Howard said calmly.

"Just this thing, if you want to continue using it, you have to finish loading it."

Then, the giant saw that the human dismantled the 'metal tube' and put small iron balls into it.

And this action even made him laugh.

"This kind of thing is useless at all."

Utgarde said.

"You want to rely on this kind of thing to ensure the power of human beings?"

Then, the sage let out a long sigh.

"It seems that you don't understand anything."

Immediately afterwards, Hodder raised the 'metal pipe' again.

'boom'

The second explosion sounded, but the projectile still didn't do any effective damage.

"It can't break through my barrier at all."

"Yes, but its principle is also very simple."

How easy is it?

"A simple, short burst of fire magic will do the trick, and a simple little explosion will dislodge the projectile."

Then, he narrowed his eyes.

"Do you remember what I said?"

"More convenient and faster."

"Yes, that's the truth. It doesn't even need any training, it doesn't need long-term training like an archer, let alone..."

"not to mention?"

"This is just an early test product, for the sake of ease and convenience on the battlefield, and you giants and gods certainly don't understand this."

"tester……"

Suddenly, Utgarde felt nothing but a door opening in his mind.

As long as he opens this door, he seems to be able to touch a new world.

And this was something he had never touched before.

Because he is a powerful wizard, he doesn't care about these simple 'gadgets' at all.

"After solving the problem of firing, the only thing left to consider is the destructive power, so I started to work on the projectile."

Another 'long pipe' appeared in his hand.

Although it doesn't look like it has changed, the magical breath is stronger.

then……

'boom'
