"The gun and gunpowder for the Galli Type 3 standard matchlock gun, and the matching gun and gunpowder for my father's short blunderbuss," Erikson said.

Virikro's father, Kubelik, served as a soldier for fifteen years and was promoted to a citizen. When he retired and returned home, he could legally own firearms. This Galli Type III standard musket was his weapon when he was a soldier. He can take it with him when he retires. This is also one of the benefits of retired soldiers.

"Gali type III standard matchlock gun, this is an old-fashioned musket, the gun is No. 2, and the gunpowder is standard dry powder No. 1. Your father's short arquebus is a marine matchlock gun, the gun is No. 7 bullets, and the matching gunpowder It’s egg white powder. Well, Ike, how much do you need?”

"Boa, come on, take out the list and see what you can buy." Erikson turned around and called Bocaar.

The traveler has not seen a musket in this world, so he is a little curious: "Ike, aren't the guns and gunpowder of this musket universal? Why are there various models?"

"The bigger the muzzle of the musket is, the bigger the gun will be. If the same gunpowder is used in the gun, the length of the shooting range will be different, so the ratio of gunpowder will also be different. In addition, the muskets used on ships will be different. And artillery, in order to prevent moisture and strong winds, egg white needs to be added to the gunpowder powder. Generally speaking, ship-type egg white gunpowder powder is half the price of standard dry gunpowder powder.”

The one who answered Claude was Viricault. Among the four companions, he was the firearms expert. It seems that his father taught him how to fire a matchlock when he was eleven or twelve years old.

"Okay, I'll leave the purchasing here to Boa. Let's go take a look at the shelves over there. Those things were collected by the former grocery store from sailors and merchants. Last time I took a fancy to a black wooden mask. I wanted to take it back and hang it on the wall as a decoration, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough money, so it was bought by someone within a few days." Erikson said it was a pity as he pulled Claude towards the rows of wooden trellises on the wall. said.

The things on the wooden trellis were very messy, with wooden bowls, pottery bottles, stone carvings, bracelets, daggers, etc. mixed together. Claude also saw a bronze helmet with a blue-gray rattan unicorn placed next to it. There is also a strange-looking obsidian stone ax in the toy bar. I don’t know which sailor got it from which indigenous tribe and sold it to the grocery store in exchange for alcohol.

The sculptures of these pirate dolls are pretty good. They should have been carved by the sailors when they were bored during the voyage. I will ask about the price later. If it is not expensive, you can buy it and give it to the fat guy at home as a toy. Well, what is this

There was a folder-sized book on the bottom layer of the wooden grid. The dark brown cover seemed to be made of leather. Claude reached out and touched it. It was indeed made of leather, but it was covered with a thin film. layer of ash.

This is probably not a book. The book is not that thin, with only about ten pages. However, the paper seems to be leather paper, thick brown and yellow, much thicker than the papyrus made of lantern grass. There are five pages on the top of each page. Six pages, I pinched the edge with my fingernail, it seems to be a little elastic.

Claude became interested and picked up this folder-sized leather book. It was a bit heavy and felt very weighty. He blew the dust off the cover first, and then slowly opened it, ready to read what was written inside. what is

Well, the light in Tudusansan was not very good, and it was blocked by the wooden trellis. It was a little dark and couldn't see clearly. But Claude was too lazy to move his position and looked at it intently. He couldn't help being surprised, and the book in his hand fell to the ground with a "clack". on the ground.

"Claude, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Ericson, who was separated by a wooden lattice, heard the movement here and asked quickly.

Verricro also poked his head over and asked, "Are you okay?"

Claude shook his head and forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart: "It's okay. I wanted to get the book, but I didn't expect it to be a bit heavy and fell to the ground."

Picking up the book on the ground, Claude walked to the window first this time and slowly opened the book in the light.

There are faint black characters written on the tawny leather paper. The rows of tadpole-like characters seem to be a little blurred due to the passage of time, but generally the writing can be distinguished.
