/s日pt>The wounded soldier was quickly healed by Nana, and the joint fracture was handy for her. After Roland sent the First Army back to the camp, only the chief knight, the witch and a few guards were left at the scene.
With a gloomy face, he walked to the corpse and instructed Carter to cut the bullet in the opponent's back.
The blood hole was about a finger and a half deep. After cutting it, it was found that the lead pellet had been broken, and the trauma was basically the same as that of ordinary people.
"What do you think?" he asked Carter.
Carter also seemed a little annoyed, probably because he didn't expect a man who had never received swordsmanship training to give him a trick, "It's just power and speed, if you don't want to see how far he can do it, first of all. Hit me and I'll cut off his head."
"What if the opponent is a knight?"
"This..." Carter thought for a while, "If it's the kind of knight under the Duke, I can probably handle it, but if it's a Howling Knight or a Knight of Steel Heart from the Knights of the Royal Capital, I won't be able to resist."
Roland is noncommittal. Everyone is dueling with skill and swordsmanship. Carter may be right, but with equipment, the situation will turn sharply. Assuming that the prisoner was wearing heavy armor, an iron helmet, and a two-handed greatsword during the test, he would never have been able to win easily.
The improvement brought by powerful strength is that it can carry heavier armor and weapons, burst out faster, and carry out more lasting battles. Roland felt that he had to correct his previous thoughts in Longsong Fortress, adrenaline? No, it's a lot scarier than adrenaline, hormones are the most powerful thing in the human body, and the red pill has clearly pushed the prisoner beyond his limits. In particular, the speed and momentum he showed when running was almost comparable to that of a heavy cavalry.
The black pills were equally astonishing, and neither the horizontal slashes that nearly severed the ribs nor the close-range blows could stop him from moving. If it was an ordinary person, he would have lost his fighting power because of the pain.
A strange civilian who is not afraid of pain is already so strong, what if it is a group of well-trained soldiers? Thinking of what the high priest said, Roland couldn't help frowning.
"Your Highness," Nightingale said, "Look at his skin."
After the skin on the prisoner's hands faded from the initial red, it has turned gray and white, and at the same time there are a lot of folds, like a molting snake. Roland poked with the handle of the knife and found that there was no solid muscle under the skin, but an empty touch. After the incision, it was found that the subcutaneous fat was completely turned into mucus, and the muscles also atrophied.
"This phenomenon is the same as after swallowing the God's Stone of Retaliation," she looked at the prince. "The pill does contain stone."
"But just swallowing the stone won't have the effect of amplifying the power," Roland pondered, "How on earth did they make such an unscientific thing?"
The pill appears to have strong side effects, and it's unclear whether it's permanent or reversible, and Roland prefers the former. If it is the latter, this kind of drug, which is similar to the enhanced version of morphine and epinephrine, can be called the magic medicine of war. As long as it is taken in batches according to the recovery time, it is not surprising that the church uses it to dominate the world.
Even if it's short-lived and has side effects, it's enough to be vigilant, Roland thought. If the Church turns to support Tifeko or Garcia, she may face a drug-addicting army.
What made him even more disturbed was that the church was willing to take this kind of thing out, but did not consider that after the reunification of Greycastle, the new king would use a pill to bite them back? The number of cannon fodder that Greycastle can recruit into the battlefield is much more than that of the old and new Holy City.
Unless...they have stronger cards in their hands and don't care.
Roland thought of this and sighed. He originally planned to solve the problem of insufficient population and funds in the town by attacking the Changge Fortress, and then focus on education, production and agriculture, and strive to expand the border town into a city in a short time. put aside. But now it seems that the construction of the army cannot be put down either. The First Army needs to expand the number of people, Suifa must continue to produce, and new weapons research must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, such as breech and custom equipment.
The mechanical principle of the breech is not difficult, and the set can be made of paper, or it can be made by stamping copper sheets many times.
Roland still didn't have a clue as to what was only used for customizing. He only knew that the thing was called mercury fulminate. Literally, the raw materials must be nitric acid and mercury. As for whether or not he needs to mix other things, he can't remember for a while. Moreover, in the impression that this thing has requirements on humidity and temperature, it is more dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will explode your fingers into the sky. After thinking about it, he decided to spend a lot of money to recruit a group of alchemists to come back and build a laboratory in the corner of the town for them to figure out for themselves.
*****************
After dinner, Roland called Anna and Scroll into the office.
Now that Border Town's financial purse has swelled up, he will soon invest half of his assets into compulsory education, a big hole that costs a lot of money and has slow returns.
Industrial society needs high-quality workers with basic cultural qualities, not illiterate people with brute force. If universal education is not in place, the demographic dividend will only become a burden on the population.
In view of this, he plans to take some time out every night to give lectures from today. After the book has mastered the basic knowledge of natural science, almost the town can complete the first batch of literacy and literacy tasks.
As a future education pioneer and almighty teacher, Shuju naturally wanted to teach her everything he had learned throughout his life. And calling Anna with him was out of his preference.
Anna does not have the ability to remember, but her thirst for knowledge and willingness to learn are the strongest among all witches. He could often see the other person rummaging through books in his bookcase. After half a year, she was afraid that she had already rummaged through the few books. In addition, her speed of accepting new things and logical way of thinking are also rare in this era.
After taking over the elementary textbooks of mathematics and physics transformed from the book, he began to describe the content of today's teaching.
From the initial addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to the slightly more complicated equation calculation, Anna's comprehension ability is obviously much better than that of the book. When switching to physics, Scroll almost memorized what Roland said as it was, and then slowly understood it. And Anna can ask a few questions from time to time.
For example, what do elementary particles look like, why are the shapes of everything composed of elementary particles different, etc...
Some Roland can still answer, and some he can't answer himself.
For example, what exactly is magic.
He had to explain the guesses he had thought before, saying that magic might be a kind of energy, similar to electricity and heat, and currently only witches can use it. It is not ruled out that other ordinary people can store and use magic in some way in the future.
Anna showed a thoughtful look.
Time flies fast when it comes to teaching women, especially women with great looks. Before you know it, the candle has been changed twice, and the new one is going to the end.
Suddenly, Roland heard a subtle cry, Nightingale lay on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly. Perhaps this class was like a lullaby to her, the fog lifted the cover, and she could not be called an elegant sleeping position exposed. in front of the three.
The prince shook his head dumbfoundedly and decided to start today's class here. He took off his coat and put it lightly on her, blew out the candle, and closed the door together with Anna and Scroll, who were holding back their smiles. (.)
