The banquet lasted until evening.
After sending away King Riku, Rebecca and others, Robin went to the depths of the underground level of the guild and discussed the issue of magic weapons with Nami, Robin, Golden Week and others.
Although Ron focused most of his energy on exploring high-level magic, his energy on the research and development of magic weapons was not much worse than that of Nami and others.
After all, Ron is at a high level. Even if he only devotes 5% of his energy to the research of magic weapons, it is more than Nami and others who spend one-third of their energy.
The focus of the discussion is the diversity of magic weapons.
The two levels of magic weapons are almost enough for now. If the third level of magic weapons is manufactured, there will be only a few people who can exert its power. Moreover, once taken by the enemy, it will also cause some uncontrollable situations.
To make third-level magic weapons, some countermeasures must be left. In addition, the combination of manufacturing materials and runes is somewhat difficult to design, so it is not the main direction for the time being.
Magic weapons must have variety.
Some people like to use swords, some like to use hammers, and some like to use blunderbuss and artillery. All kinds of people have various habits.
If Sauron is forced to fight with three hammers, even if these hammers are magical, they may collapse.
Before magic has become the mainstream of the world, fitting in with the current power system is the key to its existence. Certain icing on the cake must be added to the current power system, so that the power of the One Piece world, which is dominated by physical strength and domineering power, can be gradually eroded. system.
"Actually, I think the core of this magical weapon is like a conversion device. What if the appearance of the weapon is created with pure energy?"
"That consumes too much mental power... Even if you hold the magic core, you can also use your mental power to condense a lightsaber, but the consumption is too great for ordinary people to bear. If the sword disappears after being hit twice, there is an explanation."
"So you still have to use rune inscriptions to create a suitable weapon shape. If you use sea tower stones, the ability users will not be able to use them. The key is that the cost is too high..."
Nami held a seastone in her hand and gestured: "The seastone used in one weapon alone is worth hundreds of thousands to millions of beli. Second-level weapons need to use more High-purity sea floor stone is more valuable and difficult for ordinary people to afford."
"Well, cost reduction is also an issue."
Ron nodded and said: "When I was researching materials before, there was a special metal that could also be used to make weapons. The value of that metal was not very high. It was much cheaper than sea floor stone. It used sea floor stone as its core. , that metal is used as a secondary material, which can solve this problem."
"As for the second-level weapons, use the highest purity sea floor stone, but there is no need to make too many for the time being... This level itself is not prepared for ordinary people. Even you can't exert its full power now, let alone those who haven't yet People who have practiced spiritual power.”
After hearing Ron's words, Nami nodded.
After some discussion, everyone finally came up with a plan.
…
Guild of Albarez.
A branch somewhere.
A pirate hunter walked in carelessly, came to the counter, and said: "Have a glass of beer, if you want it cold!"
"You're back, Pedmo."
The middle-aged man behind the counter smiled, immediately poured a glass of cold beer for the pirate hunter, and said, "How was it this time? Did it go well?"
"Hey, don't mention it. I don't know where that group of pirates got the news in advance. I just went there and they all disappeared without a trace. No one was caught. It was a waste of time."
Pedmo took the beer and took a deep gulp. After half a glass of beer, he showed a look of satisfaction on his face and said, "What new information and commissions have you received recently?"
During the construction of Ron, the Albarez Guild has gradually changed in other directions. Although it still focuses on hunting pirates, it has also begun to accept various commissions.
certainly.
Most of them are explicit commissions.
For example, accepting employment from a certain country to clean up the underground forces that broke into that country, etc. The rewards for such commissions are also extremely generous.
Rather than hunting pirates, many pirate hunters hope to accept these commissions. Unfortunately, there are more wolves than meat, and the commissions are often snatched away as soon as they appear.
However, with such a high completion efficiency and Ron's name as King Shichibukai as a guarantee, there have been more and more commissions recently, both large and small.
"New information and commissions... Let me think about it..."
The middle-aged man behind the counter smiled and suddenly said: "By the way, let's not talk about it for now. Recently, we have come up with a new type of weapon. Do you want to try it?"
"Weapons? What weapons?"
Pedmo tilted his head.
The middle-aged man gave him a mysterious look, then took out a patterned pistol and threw it towards him.
Pedmo reached out to catch it, weighed it, and said, "Well, it's quite heavy. Is it made of pure metal... Hey, there's no magazine?"
He took the pistol and turned it over and over, and suddenly found something, showing a look of surprise.
The middle-aged man chuckled and said: "This is not a bullet... but not many people can use it. I will tell you how to use it and see if you can..."
With that said, the middle-aged man told Pedmo how to use it.
After hearing this, Pedmo couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was afraid that he was not teasing him by emptying his mind and using his brain to imagine releasing attacks.
However, thinking that there were all kinds of strange ability users in this world, maybe it was some kind of special weapon, he still tried it according to the middle-aged man's method.
subsequently.
The pistol in his hand suddenly lit up with a crimson light, the runes on it flashed instantly, and a red bolt suddenly shot out from the black muzzle.
Pedmo was startled, and the muzzle of the gun quickly moved upward.
boom!
The crimson bolt directly hit the corner of the ceiling, instantly exploding the entire ceiling of the first floor and the corner of the second floor of the tavern, and the crimson flames burst into flames.
Pedmo was stunned.
"This... is this a pistol? Are you sure this isn't an artillery?!"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and looked at the hole in the ceiling, and said: "This is the power of the secret weapon made above. I didn't expect you to be able to use it. You are very talented, Pedmo, but you have to pay for this destruction." build."
When Pedmo heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
When a group of people went to put out the fire, the middle-aged man handed Pedmo a cigarette and said: "The power of this gun is more than that. When I saw it, the cadres used it for demonstration, and it exploded with one shot. A huge rock... But fortunately you didn't use all your power, otherwise I'm afraid you would have spent hundreds of thousands of beli to pay for the repairs."
Pedmo couldn't put down the gun in his hand now, and he couldn't help but want to shoot again, but looking at the destruction over there, he still endured it.
He looked at the middle-aged man expectantly and said, "What's the price of this gun?"
The middle-aged man took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said: "One million Baileys."
"One million? Why don't you go and grab it?!"
Pedmo's eyes widened.
The middle-aged man chuckled and said: "With this power, is it worth one million Baileys? To tell you the truth, this is the price for you internal guild members. The cadres above said how much is the actual value of this weapon?" It’s more than a million, do you want it? Don’t take it.”
"I… "
Pedmo's expression changed for a while, and he finally sat down on the stool next to him and said, "I've been a little tight lately, and I don't have enough money."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I know you can't afford one million Baileys, but the boss said that you can pay 30% first, and the remaining money will be 30% from each of your subsequent missions. until."
Hearing this, Pedmo showed a somewhat troubled expression, but thinking of the power of the shot just now, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I want it!"
