Chapter 470 The Strange Vaal Priest:
A knighthood called the Horned Viper was established with exactly one hundred people. The members who passed the Viper Ceremony never mentioned the process of this meeting, but they still insisted on joining in the end. .
As the only woman, Althea was appointed as the Knight Commander and was responsible for the recruitment of personnel. Under the order of the Grand Master Elvis, she recruited trained young humans in Qingyan Port.
And Elvis, who has officially become the Grand Master, is making final preparations for the Knights.
In a military factory a little far away from Qingyan Port, a remote laboratory looks particularly awkward. A large pile of scrap-like materials are randomly placed outside the house. Iron swords, shields, spears, artillery, and even can be found in the corner of this garbage dump. Find dangerous items like grenades.
"Are you sure Juan is here?" Elvis was a little confused and asked his old friend.
The old friend nodded, stretched out his somewhat stiff arm and pointed to the house in the center of the dump,
"He has been staying here since he came to Lustria from Val's Anvil."
Looking at the house that looked like an abandoned building, No matter how much he thought about it, Elvis felt that this could not be the residence of a Vaal priest. Even the poorest fisherman in Ulthuan would be hundreds of times better than this.
"I still have work to continue, so I won't take you in. Just tell me when you come out." The old friend dragged his heavy steps and slowly walked towards the entrance of the military factory.
Elvis gave him a salute. As a soldier who was seriously injured in the Battle of Fennoir Plains, this soldier was still unwilling to give up his identity and was willing to devote his life to the kingdom.
Frowning as he walked into this "garbage dump" surrounded by earthen walls, Elvis did not expect that there was such a barren land in the military factory.
He heard that a skilled Val priest was transferred to the military factory six years ago. Lustria, the Knights were short of personnel to maintain their equipment, so they wanted to invite them to join.
But this situation seems a bit unexpected. Why haven't I discovered that there are so many strange things in Caledo before?
Knocking on the door, Elvis cleared his throat and said to the room,
"Is Priest Juan here? I am Elvis from the Hallandur family in Windhowl City. I have something to visit." There was a
long silence, except for the birds passing by. The cry it made when it was there is no sound here anymore.
He noticed that there was even a thick layer of gray at the door, and couldn't help but think to
himself, "Isn't he dead? From the looks of it, no one will come here for a long time."
Fortunately, the situation was a little better than expected . , footsteps came from inside the house, and amid a creaking sound, the wooden door slowly opened.
A half-naked Vaal priest with strong muscles and strange tattoos opened the door. The black cloth blindfolded was replaced by windproof goggles. His hair was not the long hair that elves were used to, it was only more than two inches.
Juan's tone was a little harsh, and he was very unwelcome to this man from a big family.
"What's the matter? Didn't you see a sign at the door saying no visitors?"
Elvis glanced at the door and found that there was indeed a sign. But it had been blown down by the wind, and it was still covered with a layer of black dust.
"Sorry, the sign you put up has been blown down by the wind."
"Does it mean that if it is blown down by the wind, you can knock on the door? There is no connection at all."
Elvis was a little confused by these words. Can't help but think. Is this a Vaal priest or a madman?
However, Juan didn't pay too much attention to the brand. He held the windproof goggles with his hand and said, "Tell me, what's the matter? If you want to enchant a weapon, then go to the sect office. I don't accept orders here. ."
"We are the newly established Knights of the Great Horned Viper, and we would like to ask you to serve as the armorer." Taking out a certificate of certification stamped by the palace, Elvis handed it to Juan, although he did not know whether this person was reliable. It’s reliable, but the necessary procedures still need to be followed.
"I'm blind."
Juan said angrily, but he still took the certification. Priest Val naturally had a unique way of deciphering the written text.
I used my fingers to feel the meaning of the symbols and words line by line. My originally livid face softened a lot, and I even became a little excited at the end.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "So you were established under the prince's instruction, but you are not part of the palace's military hierarchy and have the qualifications to recruit soldiers and purchase armaments?" "Yes,
we are based on Sotek's faith..." Elvis wanted to explain the core issues of the Knights to prevent the Vaal priests from mistakenly thinking that this was a force that believed in the Dragon Father.
But soon, he was grabbed by the excited Juan and walked towards the house.
"Oh, you guys are really weird, but it doesn't matter, I just like people like you."
"Why?"
Juan's originally happy face turned a little cold at this question, and he could only complain,
"I was in the sixth grade I was transferred from Vaal Anvil to Lustria years ago. My original job was to enchant some experimental thermal weapons, but my main job was still forging weapons." "But at that time, I discovered
something very terrifying. "Things."
Elvis was a little curious. It seemed that the experience of this Val priest was a bit unusual. "What terrible thing would make you like this? Turn the place where you live into a garbage dump.
" A musket only needs a low-quality barrel, some parts and gunpowder, and in the hands of untrained people, it can have the power that Assur archers have after hundreds of years of training. The cost of a cannon is no more
than It is one-twentieth of the Dragon Claw Ballista, and it does not require magic to maintain. As long as you are skilled, even a human can repair it on the spot, but in terms of firepower, there is not much difference between the two." "So you turned to study thermal weapons
. ?"
Juan began to become a little excited, as if this matter was the most important thing in the world to him.
"No, so I think there must be profound knowledge in it. I want to use magic to make hot weapons more powerful. Val is the god of forging and the god who created all weapons. I am following his instructions to make this weapon more powerful." This weapon that the elves have not yet discovered has the potential to bloom into true glory!" "
You... are really unique." Elvis didn't know how to say it. The elves always resisted hot weapons, thinking that they were only for monkeys and dwarfs. something to use.
"Come, let me show you my success in the past few years. Since it was established under the prince's instruction, these things can also be used by you."
Juan took Elvis to a basement and compared it with the messy outside. The garbage dump was undoubtedly much tidier, with all kinds of long guns and short cannons. He also saw two rune stations specially used for enchanting, as well as related alchemy equipment.
There is a protective bookshelf in the corner, which is covered with various mechanical engineering books. Elvis, who was responsible for receiving the imperial supplies, took a look and found that some of them were not circulated in the market, and there were also rare and precious books next to them. Material.
It is possible that the prince was Juan's sponsor.
Juan rummaged through the box and found a revolver, which was more gorgeous than Elvis had ever seen before. It had golden lines like rose flowers, and a faint shimmer spread across the surface.
