Chapter 66 The reason why humans have evolved is because they have learned to use tools.
"What commission?"
"I want to explore the ruins of a laboratory, but I am worried about the mere human soldiers. I am also worried about how many people there are. The lives of soldiers It's not for waste. So I need professional help."
"What do you need from me, guide?"
"More than that." Lann shook his head and thought about the troubles he might encounter in the laboratory. "Exploring ruins is something like this. Bringing too many people will get in the way, so I want to bring as few people as possible. In this way, I need some strong guys to fill the vacancies of insufficient manpower. It just so happened that my aunt opened the king's treasury to me. So the first question: How much do you know
? The recipe for the alchemy bomb? I would like to ask you to help me make some for my soldiers."
The inventor of the alchemy bomb was not a demon hunter. Many warlocks, alchemists and even pharmacists knew a thing or two about the principles. Geralt had no idea. It is necessary to keep these technologies confidential.
"If it's powerful enough, Honeycomb Bomb, Dragon's Dream, and Dancing Star should meet your requirements."
[Honeycomb Bomb]: Causes fragmentation damage to enemies within the explosion range and a small amount of fire damage. Except for a few extremely powerful boss-level enemies, it can effectively fight against almost all monsters.
[Dragon Dream]: Alchemy bomb, its explosion will release flammable and violently burning gas. Multiple Dragon Dream gases 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 for creatures that like group attacks and are afraid of fire, and can burn enemies. Combined with the gas generated by the Dragon Dream bomb, it has a miraculous effect.
Lann was overjoyed after hearing this. These were exactly what he needed: "Great, how many bombs do you usually carry with you?"
Geralt reached into his alchemy backpack and took out something: "This is Honeycomb, I usually carry four on my body. Dragon Dream and Dancing Star can only be manufactured in a targeted manner before special missions. Bombs are expensive to make, so more often I use a sword." Lann scratched his chin and
asked He said: "I have experienced honeycombs, and they are very powerful. Let's make forty of them first. You can also make ten of the other two types first and let me see the effect. If the power is considerable, they will be the same as honeycombs." Geralt was stunned
. , took out his ears and asked: "...How much did you say?"
...
Half a month later.
A martial arts field for the City Guards.
Lann and Geralt stood opposite each other, their feet moving slowly and tentatively.
After several collisions of sword spines, the two of them began to spin at the same time, seemingly in tacit agreement, like sword moves and dance steps. Their feet were light and their swords swept like the wind.
"Dang, dang, dang," like the sound of iron striking, kept ringing in the martial arts arena, and the harsh and shrill sound of steel friction tortured the ears and nerves of everyone watching the battle.
In the martial arts arena, everyone watching the battle was whispering. Soldiers surrounded the two people in the center, and every collision of swords would bring out a burst of exclamations.
In the crowd, Sward said to Ace with a look of admiration: "It's really amazing. This is the first time I've seen someone who can be as good as the Earl."
Ace nodded: "From the time I fucked the gryphon, You can see his skills by then. Monsters hunt humans, and witchers hunt monsters. They are really powerful. What's more, this is the famous 'White Wolf'."
He patted Swader on the shoulder and said: " Don't look at it, half a month has passed, what can you learn? It's better to get familiar with those alchemy bombs during this time, which is related to the Earl's future plans." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the
shooting range.
Swade turned around to look for his friends, but Ace went to shoot arrows, and House liked to stay with Black Wind. He and the city guards were not as good as Ace. He could only turn around and continue to enjoy the duel between the two superb swordsmen.
"Who says you can't learn? You can't learn something after watching it a few times..." Swade said to himself unconvinced, watching with bright eyes the collisions between the two macho men in the field.
With a "click" sound, the unopened training sword in Lan's hand suddenly broke into a small piece. Before he could react and adjust his sword, the spinning pace had no time to stop due to the inertia.
After another five or six rounds of slashing like a storm, Lann's sword suddenly broke apart from the middle, and half of the blade spun and flew out.
Lann also staggered a few steps, and then quickly distanced himself from Geralt.
Geralt asked breathlessly: "That's it?"
Lann nodded and looked at the practice sword in his hand: "That's it. This sword that has been tortured for half a month can finally rest."
" It's really unimaginable that your power can be so great." Geralt sighed, "I even think that several guys in the school are not as good as you." Lann shook his head: "But in terms of skills, I am still inferior to you
. A lot."
In the past half month, Lann has been pulling Geralt to practice every day, as if he was a fully automatic sparring machine. The effect is also remarkable. So far, Lann can finally use the skills of sword dance in actual combat, and has effective countermeasures when faced with being surrounded by multiple enemies.
Of course, the [Swirling Sword Dance] in the system panel is still dim. Lann is looking forward to how much his sword skills will be strengthened when this skill is activated.
Lann and Geralt sat aside to rest. Geralt was a little tired and began to close his eyes to rest. He was sparring with Lann during the day, and he also had to find time to make alchemy bombs. This was a big burden for him.
Lann was watching the soldiers' training. Shaoqing, he waved to Ace, and the Arrow Attendant quickly ran over.
"Where's Milva?"
Ace replied: "She doesn't like the military camp very much. She didn't follow her out in the morning. She has been at the shooting range of the mansion these days."
Lann nodded and asked: "How is she?"
Ace hesitated: "My lord, with all due respect...she is a woman. The soldiers should not be allowed to hold swords before they have sacrificed their lives."
Lann glared at him and sighed: "I dare to say that in Sintra With words like this, you are lucky that your family is still a knight."
What is the most striking feature that distinguishes Sintra from other countries? ——The answer is "Lioness".
Ace blinked in astonishment, suddenly reacted, and looked around in a cold sweat.
Lann slapped him on the forehead to bring him back to his senses, and reprimanded: "Can your archery skills be better than Ms. Airlie? You are saying this now. And the enemy will not look carefully when holding a sword. Male, female, old or young. I asked you how Milva is, answer me now!"
Rubbing his forehead, Ace muttered a few words such as "chivalry" and "etiquette", and replied:
"Hers Her archery skills are astounding. She can defeat most of the city guards just with the ridiculous toy-like bow in her hand. Give her a strong enough bow, and after a period of running-in, I think she can even defeat More than most tree spirits!"
Lann nodded, expectedly satisfied.
Ace then added: "But..."
