Chapter 79: Task delegation

While explaining the knowledge about the magic cannon to Gron, Black Jack was not idle. He picked up the secondary healing wave magic bullet that Gron had just filled, loaded it into the gun chamber, and then His fingers shook, and a card of destiny was caught between his fingers. Black Jack raised his hand and gently flicked it in front of Goron. At first, Goron had no abnormality on his body, but after two or three seconds, his His shirt suddenly tore open, and a long, narrow but not deep wound appeared on his chest. Large drops of blood seeped out from the gap in the wound.

The panic on Gronn's face flashed away, and there was no longer any overreaction. If the magician really wanted to kill him, it would be useless no matter what he did. Sure enough, Black Jack raised the magic gun in his hand and fired The gun hit Goron's chest, and a pea-sized green ball of light exploded silently on Goron's body. The natural breath instantly filled the tent. The green and rich grassland breath was refreshing, and the wound on Goron's chest It also heals quickly and at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How much do you know about filling magic bullets now?" Black Jack asked.

Goron thought about it carefully before replying: "Secondary healing waves are different from attack magic. They can only be activated when the caster is in direct contact with the patient's body. But after filling it into a magic bullet, there seems to be no such problem. The magic bullet The bullet will still have an effect after hitting it, but... The magic power required to fill a healing wave magic bullet is twice the magic power consumed by the normal release of the secondary healing wave magic bullet, and the filled magic bullet actually consumes twice as much. The therapeutic effect is only about 70% of the therapeutic effect of my direct magic. The conversion efficiency is not ideal, but it is completely acceptable, not to mention the advantage of long-distance release."

For Goron's answer. The magician nodded approvingly: "Very good. You accept new things very quickly, and this is also one of the necessary conditions for becoming a magician. Magic Cannon User has developed rapidly in the past few years. . After all, the talent requirements of this profession are much lower than those of other combat or legal professions, and it is a remote damage output type that is safer than melee professions. It is not as easy to attract hatred as the mage priest, plus there are certain conditions. Under this situation, a magic cannon user can even temporarily replace the caster and healer. The magic warhead allows the magic cannon user to attack in a variety of ways. After the stored magic powder replaces gunpowder, it directly changes the range and power of the gun. The most important shortcoming is that although the production cost of power-storing magic powder is not cheap, it is almost nothing compared to Mayan white stone, so even if the magic gun user does not use the extremely expensive Mayan white stone warhead, Ordinary magical bullets made with power-storing magic powder instead of gunpowder are no worse than an elf archer. However, the development of magic guns is still very limited. Can you tell me why? ?”

Facing the teacher's sudden question, Goron could answer without thinking about it this time: "It's because it's not easy to fill the magic missile with magic power. Only real magicians and magicians can do it. But magic missiles can't be filled with magic power." The Cannon Messenger consumes magic bullets too quickly. Although it is very explosive, it is normal for all the ammunition to be exhausted after a battle. Once the ammunition is exhausted, the Magic Cannon Messenger is equivalent to a sea eagle with broken wings. The jungle beast with its fangs and claws removed can only be slaughtered by the opponent. "This truth is too simple and obvious. Moreover, Gronn had already discovered it when the Black Hand tribe was playing with guns and getting into trouble. Every time, he first used a bunch of muskets to drive a group of ogre friends into chaos. But once he runs out of ammunition, he will be beaten hard by the boys with big wooden clubs. Every time, it takes Hakulili's rescue to get out of trouble.

"You answered very well. In addition to the troublesome magic filling of magic missiles, another reason is that reusable charged magic missiles are valuable. The magic missile you just filled, even though it is only The value of a first-level magic bullet and a blank warhead exceeds 50 gold coins, and after you fill it with the healing wave magic, the price can reach 65 gold coins. Of course, the most important reason is the advancement of the Magic Cannon Envoy. However, due to relying too much on props and weapons, it is quite difficult for the magic cannon user to dissociate the seals of the gods in the body. After the birth of this combat profession, there has not been a fourth-level or above war king-level magic cannon user on the road. "

"But no matter what, combat professions like Magic Cannon Messenger are the easiest profession to form effective combat effectiveness in the early stage. For you who are about to face a crisis, although I am good at many skills, I can't find any skills that are better than this one." There are options that are more suitable for you. What’s more, you already have a foundation for using muskets, so you don’t have to waste time on basic exercises.”

Goron also fully agrees with Black Jack's judgment. What he lacks most now is time. Every minute and second of delay will make the situation of his mother Rafana and Hakulili one more variable. Even if the magic cannon user cannot advance Peak, but Goron has seen the power of the magic cannon with his own eyes. As long as it can threaten the official members of the Fairy Tale Circus, that is enough.

"I have ready-made magic bullets here, both blank magic bullets and filled ones. The blank magic bullets are priced according to the market. The first-level magic bullet costs 50 gold coins per shot, the fireball magic missile costs 55 gold coins per shot, and the ice blast magic bullet costs 55 gold coins per shot. 60 gold coins. As for the prices of other types of magic missiles, I will tell you when you can use them."

Profiteer~~~!

This is not a master-student relationship, it is simply a treacherous business method of selling goods. The image of the graceful magician in front of Goron gradually overlaps with that of an unscrupulous goblin businessman.

Tarkin Hillman is a regular partner of the Black Hand Tribe, a long-term supplier of daily necessities, and one of the top ten businessmen in Haishiwan Low Tide Port. It’s not like Gron has never thought of contacting him and trying to get some help from him. . But from countless stories, the goblin merchants' profit-seeking and only recognizing money but not people are racial characteristics that are as famous as their wealth and stinginess. After losing the huge wealth accumulated by the Black Hand tribe, Gronn did not think that he could still compete with others. He was as cooperative as ever.

Facing a double-barreled pistol and two bullets placed in front of him by the magician Black Jack, Gron swallowed, but could only shake his head and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, Mr. Black Jack, I have no money."

"Nonsense, of course I know you have no money." The magician smiled coldly and said: "I gave you the gun for free. Of course it is only a first-level magic gun, but it can shoot twice in a row and is compatible with all kinds of magic guns. It is enough for a novice. But you have to fill ten rounds of healing wave magic bullets for me for free. I will pay you fifteen gold coins every time you fill one round for me. These two magic missiles, one with a blank warhead and the other with an ice blast bomb, are worth a total of one hundred and ten gold coins. I can keep your account. Tonight, come to me after dinner. I have I’ll ask you to complete a small task, and upon successful completion, I will pay you fifty gold coins as a reward.”

... ...

At night, Gron came to the magician's camp on time, and his teacher was already buried among a pile of wine bottles. He was drunk and hugged the rat girl Xiaomi who had introduced Gron to the fairy tale circus. He was drunk and crazy. After seeing Gron, he threw a task authorization letter to Gron in a daze and ignored him. Just when Gron was about to leave the tent, he suddenly felt something wrapped around his ankle. Stopping, Goron looked down and saw a thin, long and smooth tail being released from his ankle. Goron vaguely felt that something seemed to be stuffed in the shoe.

Goron looked towards the owner of the tail and saw the rat girl laughing as she poured a large glass of red wine into the magician's mouth without even looking at him.

Gronn's heart moved, and he left the tent quietly. He waited until he returned to his tent, then took off his shoes and poured out an Ai Zhe red stone from inside. No amount of this thing is too much, and Goron is naturally happy. Just looking at the sneaky behavior of the rat girl Xiaomi, it is 80% likely that the origin of this Ai Zhe red stone will not be too clean. Maybe she just got it from the magician. Ready to steal.

There are already three Aizhe Red Stones in his hand, and Gronn plans to sacrifice them all when he has time to convert them into his own power. It's just that he hasn't seen the dwarf volcano aunt in the past few days, so he can only hold Ai Zhe Hongshi helplessly.

Opening the task authorization letter that Black Jack threw over, Fairy Tale Circus has been undertaking various tasks and earning contract money upon completion. And for some reason, Fairy Tale Circus clearly has the strength of the top guilds in the mainland, but it refuses to accept anyone who comes. Accepting all tasks, there is no dignity and pride of any big guild or big organization. Especially after that crazy night, all the large and small guild mercenary groups in Luochao Port were completely destroyed, and the Fairy Tale Circus has almost become the only dark organization in Luochiao Port that can accept mercenary commissions. Recently, there have been as many mission commissions as snowflakes. Generally, not only are there few formal members staying in the camp, but many apprentices are assigned to complete simple tasks everywhere.

In Gron's hand was a D-level mission commission. According to what was written on the commission, Gron came to the central area of Low Tide Port.

Although it has fallen into the night, for many people in this bustling commercial port, it is just the beginning of a wonderful day. Although the shadow of the demonic invasion has not completely receded, half of the luxurious buildings on this bustling central street are still in ruins.

But people are always forgetful, especially since the Imperial Army's Survey Corps is still stationed in this seaport town, which can give the residents here a sense of security. Therefore, the residents of Xiaogang looked at the legionnaires who were drinking and causing trouble on the street with particularly complicated eyes.

According to the records in the contract, Goron walked around in a winding path, and finally stood in front of a dilapidated tavern. Unlike those ruins, its dilapidation obviously had nothing to do with that crazy night, so it was difficult to Imagine that a tavern of this caliber would be located in the center of this bustling seaport town.
