Chapter 596 Fireworks and Gifts Five Thousand

In the early morning, the Great Wilderness Imperial City was as peaceful as yesterday.

Snowflakes were falling slowly, shop doors were open, people were coming and going on the road, and it was noisy and lively. From time to time, you can see tough children wrestling shirtless in the snow on the side of the road in a ferocious state. Occasionally, you can see some Bran people wearing wide hats and cautious postures hurried past...

It was just a normal day, at least that’s what the people in the Imperial City thought. If there is any difference, it is that today it seems that it is rare to see the rich and powerful children who usually wear bright clothes and show off their horses.

Of course, this is a good thing, no one wants them to come out and act arrogantly.

However, what the people don't know is that the usually arrogant and domineering children of the powerful are now confined to their homes and strictly prohibited from going out. And the entire elite class that usually looked up to them was now like a pool of stagnant water, solemn and solemn, and trembling with fear.

As mentioned before, the circle of powerful people in the imperial city is very small. Unless they cover it up, there are almost no secrets between them. In the scene in the library last night, many powerful and powerful disciples were present. After they dispersed, the news naturally spread quickly.

That Bran guy again?

This was the first reaction of many big shots after seeing the news, and they were shocked and shocked. Immediately, the whole circle began to gradually become lively. Of course, most of the content discussed was speculation on how the Bran man would die?

Originally, although the previous families were not weak, their strength and foundation were not strong. After all, this Bran man saved the life of His Highness Lansha and was kind to the royal family. The royal family wanted to help, both emotionally and logically. The final result was just like this. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was not unexpected. [

But this time is different. The Mad Eagle Tribe is not comparable to those few families with little foundation, plus it has always been domineering. No one would think that the royal family would risk antagonism with the Mad Eagle tribe this time to help the reckless Bran man.

This is already about favor, but about profit!

What happened next seemed to indicate this. The 'Son of the Mad Eagle' Lambit, who was waiting in a high-end place, saw the dying subordinate who was carried in, especially the five severed fingers that were wrapped. In an instant, Lei Lei was furious, ignoring Tai Ge, the successor of the Hidden Snake Tribe who was still present at the time, smashing most of the high-end places in a disgraceful manner, and walked away.

It's natural to say that a high-end place was smashed, because it was originally the industry of the Kuangying Tribe. However, behind such a disgraceful move, it is actually conveying a clear meaning to the outside world, especially to the royal family - I am very angry this time, so the Bran people must die, and you should not interfere!

This is an advance greeting and a step forward for the royal family.

The situation has now become clear. Although Lambit cannot represent the entire Mad Eagle tribe, as his successor is just a Bran, the royal family will not deny him even this bit of face.

However, what happened next suddenly took a turn for the worse, leaving the dignitaries and senior officials watching the excitement dumbfounded and unable to recover for a long time. It turned out that before Lambit ordered people to kill the Bran people, the royal family actually sent people to negotiate formally to save the lives of the Bran people!

The scene of the negotiations between the two parties was not known to outsiders, but the large group of royal guards who immediately went to the residence of the Bran people showed the royal family's determination this time in a high-profile and strong manner. Of course, it can also be seen from this that the initial negotiation between the two parties was not very good.

At this point, all the nobles in the imperial city lost their voices. They didn't understand why the royal family insisted on protecting this Bran man. At the same time, they didn't know how the Mad Eagle Tribe would react. Therefore, we can only restrain all our actions as much as possible to avoid suffering disaster at this special time.

…

However, no matter how stormy the outside world is, Tang En in the craftsman's office will not be distracted. And to be honest, he doesn't have time to think about it now...

Boom... a not too big explosion sounded, fire flashed randomly, and thick smoke billowed. Matthewman, who was holding several clay pots, had just arrived at the entrance of the laboratory when he was blown away by the waves of air and landed directly on the wall of the corridor outside the door. Stars flashed in front of his eyes, and the clay pots in his hands fell to the ground and shattered. crack.

Immediately, "Cough cough... cough cough..." Suddenly, a smoldering black shadow jumped out of the thick smoke. He leaned on the wall and bent over, coughing. Tears and snot flew everywhere, making him look really embarrassed.

Matthewman was startled, took a few steps back in a hurry, looked up and down before asking uncertainly: "Uh... are you Ya-Arthur?"

"Otherwise..." He rolled his eyes rather coquettishly. Well, now only the whites of his eyes and teeth are white, and the rest of his body is pitch black, like a crow. [

"Scared, why are you like this?"

Waving his hand, "Ahem, it's okay, it's just a small mistake."

A small mistake... Matthewman turned his head and looked at the smoke-filled laboratory, his eyes twitching and his face full of words.

"Bah!" spitting out the unknown residue beside his mouth, Tang En looked at the laboratory that was destroyed in an instant, grinning as if he had a toothache, and secretly muttered in his heart, monosulfide, dinitrate, and charcoal... I remember the teacher was like this in the past. You're right. Why did it explode when I got here?

Yes, Tang En was indeed making black powder. This was also the best weapon he could think of to get rid of large-scale pursuit.

In fact, the level of alchemy in the other world is pretty good in this regard. The explosive crystal is much more stable and powerful than the simple black powder. This was also the reason why Tang En had never thought of making black powder before, but now the situation forced him, a stranger from a foreign country, to be unable to obtain explosive crystals for a while. He had to find a way to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.

Of course, gunpowder has not been something that can be touched casually since ancient times, let alone something developed with local methods like this. That is to say, Tang En is not an ordinary person, otherwise the explosion just now would probably have cost him several times.

After patting the black dust on his body, Tang En asked calmly: "Mr. Ma, does the craftsman's office have a larger room? It doesn't necessarily need a laboratory, as long as the area is large enough."

"Uh...you want to try again?"

"certainly!"

Yu shook his head and Matthew Mannai said: "Okay, I know a suitable place. It was originally a warehouse where materials were stored, but it was later abandoned. I will find the key for you."

After all, Mathewman is also the regional director now, so of course he still has this right. From this point of view, Tang En's decision to let him take over before was undoubtedly the right decision, and it would come immediately without repayment.

The abandoned warehouse was located in a remote corner. When passing by the gate of the craftsman's office, Tang En turned his head and looked outside. All he could see were the figures of royal guards, patrolling back and forth, completely surrounding the craftsman's office.

Obviously, even if Lansha intervenes, so far, Lambit has no plans to stop.

"Tsk, tsk, I just cut off five fingers, why are you so excited?" Tang En curled his lips and joked without any psychological pressure.

Ever since he learned the antidote information, Tang En knew that he would not be able to stay in the imperial city for much longer. In order to prevent long nights and many dreams, it is best to leave as early as possible. So as long as he didn't offend an existence of Bamutu's level, Tang En wouldn't take it to heart at all.

What, the Wild Eagle Tribe?

Haha... The Mad Eagle Tribe is indeed very powerful, but this is the Northern Wilderness Imperial City and belongs to the territory of the Sirius Royal Family, so in reality the only people that Lambit can mobilize are only those who entered the city with him. . As for the powerful Mad Eagle Tribe, they were still thousands of miles away and could not pose any threat to him at all.

Even conversely, if the master beside Lambit is of the same level as the old man in green before, and Tang En is annoyed and determined to assassinate him, then it is really hard to say who will die first in the end...

After going through all the possible threats in his mind, Tang En felt more at ease. He immediately put these thoughts aside and followed Matthewman to the abandoned warehouse.

Opening the rusty iron door, it was empty except for a few inches of dust, but fortunately it was large enough to fully meet the requirements for making black powder.

Tang En was overjoyed when he saw this and called many apprentices to bring saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and black clay pots as containers. Then he hesitated and drove everyone away and closed the door to study alone.

To be honest, Tang En was a little touched by Lansha's attitude towards these two matters. After calming down, think about the antidote. It is a battle of wits and courage. You can't blame others if you fail in one move.

Although both sides now have what they need, it is self-evident that a telescope is more important than the possibility of turning against the Mad Eagle Tribe.

However, despite this, Tang En still did not dare to leave the black powder formula in the Northern Wasteland after thinking about it. This thing was different from a telescope. Although it is a bit crude and crude, to a certain extent, it is a killer weapon that can truly change the existing battle pattern.

After all, there are still many smart people in the other world, and they also have complete alchemy systems. Once they have this simple black powder formula, it is really hard to say what may be derived from it...

It was precisely because of this that Tang En drove away Matthew Mann and many apprentices who wanted to stay to help.

Doing research alone is much slower. Fortunately, after being bombed once, Tang En also gained some insights, and the subsequent research work seemed to go much smoother.

Finally, about ten minutes later, with a muffled sound in the empty warehouse, the first clay pot exploded successfully. The power is not great, and if it is not within three feet of the surrounding area, there will be basically no casualties.

This result is also normal. The reason why modern bombs are so powerful is not only the raw materials, but also the built-in steel balls and iron sheets. Once exploded, these steel balls and iron pieces will shoot out in all directions, achieving real range damage.

Time was tight, and it was also the first time he was making black powder and he was a little unsure. After thinking about it, Tang En decided not to add any ingredients. However, although he did not use modern concepts, Tang En used a gadget from another world - a plant berry as big as a soybean grain, which will produce a slight explosion when gently kneaded. Well, it's very slight. Even if it is bitten open in the mouth, it will only loosen the teeth a little. It is a mischievous thing.

But it was such an inconspicuous little thing that made Tang En burst into ecstasy after seeing it. Faintly, looking far into the distance, through the warehouse door, Tang En seemed to see the brilliant scene of the imperial city with explosions and flames shooting into the sky... I was really looking forward to it!

a whole day!

The royal guards are patrolling relentlessly, Lansha and Lambit are constantly negotiating, and the upper-class elite circle is cautiously inquiring about all kinds of information. In the corner of the craftsman's office, Tang En was filling black pottery pots one after another in silence, his eyes indifferent but persistent...

…

The abandoned warehouse was reopened the next day. No one knew that the mountains of black clay pots inside yesterday had disappeared overnight.

Mathewman vaguely knew something and was very curious, but watching Tang En, who was yawning repeatedly, get into a laboratory again, he hesitated several times, but in the end he was unable to ask.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Matthewman suddenly felt that the compatriots from Bran were a little different today. I can't tell you exactly, I just have a vague feeling that he seems to be more relaxed and free-spirited than before...

Of course, these conjectures did not last long, they were just turned around and forgotten.

At noon, seeing that Tang En had not come out yet, Matthewman came to the laboratory with some food. Before knocking on the door, a voice came from inside, "It's Mr. Ma, I was just about to go find you..." Haha, come in, the door is unlocked."

Matthewman couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. I haven't gone in yet, how did he know it was me... He shook his head and opened the wooden door.

This is a new laboratory, the inside is also simple, except for the crystal ore residue piled in the corner that is more eye-catching. Tang En was sitting behind the experimental table, with a brown wooden box in front of him, looking over with a chuckle.

"Arthur, this is lunch. Seeing that you haven't gone out for a long time, I brought it for you."

"Ha, thank you, Mr. Ma." He took the lunch and put it aside casually. Tang En had no intention of starting anything immediately. Instead, he waved and said, "Come, sit down, Mr. Ma, let's talk."

"Uh, okay." Matthewman sat on the chair with a puzzled look on his face. Tang En did not explain, and said seriously, "Mr. Ma, although we have not known each other for a long time, I have received a lot of care from you these days. Thank you very much."

Matthewman waved his hands hurriedly after hearing this: "What are you talking about? It's obvious that I have been taken care of by you a lot. If it weren't for you, Arthur, I'm afraid now..." After a pause, he seemed to realize something, "You... You mean, uh, do you have to leave? Is the royal family not protecting you? Then run away, yes, run now. Just do whatever you need me to do..."

"Haha..." Laughing and waving his hand to interrupt Matthewman, who was suddenly panicking, Tang En shook his head, "Where did Mr. Ma go? That's not it. Well, I just want to thank you for taking care of you these days, and I want to give you a small gift. That’s all.”

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Huh...it's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not. Uh, what, a small gift?"

Tang En nodded, and then without waiting for Matthewman to refuse, he put on the brown wooden box in front of him: "This is it, it's not a valuable thing. Mr. Ma, please don't reject it."

After a pause, he continued, "Don't open it now, tsk, keep it a little mysterious. Haha..." Matthewman also laughed and shook his head after hearing this: "Well, since you said that, Arthur, then I'm not polite. . But when exactly can this be opened?”

"When..." Tang En raised the corner of his mouth, turned and pointed to the back of the laboratory, "When there are many brilliant fireworks over the Imperial City, you can open them. Well, it won't be too late."

"Uh..." Matthewman looked at the snowflakes in the sky and couldn't help but be stunned, completely unable to understand the meaning of this sentence. But before he could ask, Tang En suddenly looked up at the wooden door of the laboratory and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Dong-dong-dong, three gentle clicks, without waiting for the person inside to respond, the wooden door was opened directly.

The well-tailored fox velvet gown is sculpted with natural curves, stimulating your imagination. She has exquisite facial features and a pair of plain-rimmed glasses on her smooth and straight nose. Not only does it not affect her overall temperament, it actually adds a bit of intellectual heroism. It is Lansha, known as the Pearl of the Northern Wilderness.

Tang En was not surprised. Identifying someone from the sound of footsteps was not a great skill. Ordinary people could do it sometimes, so he had no problem. He patted Matthewman on the shoulder and handed the brown wooden box to his hand. Then he raised his head and smiled: "Hey, isn't this our beautiful His Highness Lansha? Why are you free to come to my shabby laboratory today?"

Even though he was wearing glasses, Lansha still squinted his eyes out of habit. He did not respond to Tang En's somewhat frivolous words, but turned his gaze to Matthewman. Seeing this, the latter dared not stay here longer. After stepping forward and saluting, he carefully closed the wooden door of the laboratory and left in a hurry.

"Have you eaten? If not, I don't mind sharing half with you." He said carelessly. Tang En did not salute, but took the lunch aside and prepared to start.

Lansha seemed to be used to the deviant behavior of the guy in front of him. He stepped forward and sat on the seat where Matthewman had just been, frowning: "Can you cause less trouble?"

"It's heartless to say this. You know the specific situation and it's not my fault. Well, the meat slices taste good today. Are you sure you don't want to order some?" Tang En quickly served the meat slices with a fork without raising his head. Chewing constantly in the mouth.

Seeing this, Lansha's snorts showed some signs of thickening, but then he breathed lightly, as if he was too lazy to tangle with Tang En anymore, and said: "The matter has been resolved, and the Mad Eagle Tribe will not trouble you again. Lambit will come over later. , you apologize to him in person, and the matter is over."

After hearing this, Tang En raised his head, licked his lips, and did not say any childish words such as 'It's obviously not my fault, why do you want me to apologize?' You must know that reality often determines right and wrong not by axioms, but by strength!

He smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, tsk, what price did you pay?"

"You don't need to know this."

"Let's put it this way, do you hate that Lambit?"

Lansha frowned: "Huh?"

"Ha, you know." Tang En waved his knife and fork and spread his hands: "I have good strength, and frankly speaking, I used to be a killer, also known as an assassin. So, well, seeing as we are all acquaintances For your sake, I can give you a 10% discount and help you kill that annoying guy. Don’t worry, no one will know, how about that?”
