Chapter 8 Soul Gun
Hearing Rennes' words, the dwarf's smile reduced a little.
His eyes glanced at Renn, and noticed that Renn came in empty-handedly without even a piece of luggage, and muttered.
He raised his hand and scratched his scalp, and the dwarf replied: "There are rooms for two people to share in the back of the hotel. The price is affordable, only 8 copper lisos a day. But I think you shouldn't want to share with others. The room on the second floor is more suitable for you. There are 12 copper lisos a day. If you stay for a long time, I can still give you a discount."
Renn nodded. The dwarf was very accurate. He really didn't want to share a room with others.
“How long does it take to get a discount?”
"At least half a month."
The dwarf picked up the beer on the counter and slurped it and took a big gulp. The wine and foam soaked the beard around his mouth. He wiped it with his hands without caring about it and continued, "If you live for half a month, I will only accept 150 copper lisots for you, and provide a free breakfast every day."
Renne did not answer immediately.
When the dwarf picked up the wine glass, something on his waist was accidentally exposed, which attracted his attention.
If you read it correctly, this is a gun!
There are guns in this world, which are very powerful. There is also a special name called "Soul Gun", which is considered a very precious weapon.
The appearance of the soul gun is very similar to that of the pistols on the earth, but there are also great differences.
The killing principle of the two is similar, but the soul gun uses a special bullet. The gun holder must have soul power or other supernatural power to fire. Each shot consumes the soul power of the gunner. This makes the soul gun not used on a large scale like a gun on earth. If the soul gun is handed over to the hands of ordinary people, it is even worse than a dagger.
In fact, in recent years, a brand new extraordinary profession has appeared in the empire called "Gunner", which uses soul guns as the main combat weapon, which is quite popular.
The history of dwarves using soul guns is even longer, and almost everyone knows the famous "dwarf musketeers".
However, Renn had never heard of a soul gun that ordinary people could use.
In other words, there is no gunpowder in this world yet!
Is this possible?
Renn pressed his doubts and did not stop at the dwarf's soul gun. He nodded and said, "Then I will stay for half a month."
In addition to the fair price, this hotel has another advantage, not far from the Church of Justice. If a fallen person wants to judge, once the bell rings, he can hurry over and absorb the soul in time.
"Okay, the deposit is 200 copper lisos, more refund or less compensation."
The dwarf started a business and became happy, and took another sip of beer.
In Renn's eyes, the dwarf's soul changed from white to light green. He smiled secretly and pulled out two bills worth 100 copper dollars from his pocket and handed them over.
The dwarf opened a booklet on the counter and prepared to register.
"My name is Rennes." Rennes took the initiative to report his name. The dwarf wrote a few strokes in a scribble and replied: "I am Zoltan*Take. The boss here. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time, or ask your friend to tell me."
After saying that, Zoltan threw the booklet under the counter, pulled out a bunch of keys, and took Renn up the stairs next to him.
There are more than a dozen rooms on the entire second floor, most of which have guests stay.
Renn chose a room near the street. The layout was very simple, similar to the apartment I lived in before. Fortunately, the sound insulation of the floor was OK, and the noise in the hall downstairs became much weaker.
Zoltan handed the room key to Renn, and suddenly asked before leaving, "Renn, can you play cards?"
Renn was stunned for a moment, "No, what's wrong?"
"What a pity."
Zoltan shook his head regretfully, and his hair like a cockscomb swayed around, saying, "There are many guests in my hotel who come to play cards specifically. They are a bit famous in the Ryan area and may set up a card club in the future. If you want to play cards, just find me. I have a lot of cards in my hand and there are many rare cards. The price package you are satisfied with."
Renn understood that the dwarf boss was a veteran poker player who opened a hotel and doubled as a card business.
"Okay, I'll consider it."
Rennes politely refused. He didn't have the heart to play any cards now.
Zoltan did not speak anymore and returned to the first floor lobby.
Ren closed the door, lay down on the bed, opened the mobile phone interface immediately, and checked the two icons that had just been activated.
The first icon looks like a plant as a whole, consisting of several leaves and main stems, but the place on the top was originally a flower was a strange-shaped head. The head had a twisted face, which was very abstract, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a monster or a monster, which looked a bit scary.
Renn remembers that this software seemed to be used to identify plants before, so how did it become like this?
He opened the icon and fumbled for a while but didn't find anything useful.
Turning off this might be something like a picture book, Renn opened the second icon.
This icon looks much simpler and clearer, like a three-dimensional bullet. After Renn opened it, a row of options immediately appeared in front of him, each option was displayed in smaller graphics.
Seeing the miniature graphics, Renne almost jumped out of bed.
Because he is so familiar with these graphics.
It turns out that this is a firearm structure dismantling game downloaded by Rennes!
This is a mobile game abroad with few players and very niche. The reason why Rennes plays it is because he studied mechanical major in college. Although he has not worked in related jobs after graduation, he has always been interested in mechanical and has played many games with mechanical themes, which is one of them.
The gameplay is very simple.
It provides three-dimensional diagrams of hundreds of firearms and weapons, players disassemble them in the correct order, turn them into a bunch of parts, and then reassemble them, calculate the time spent on the entire process, and then compete with players for speed.
There are a wide range of guns in the game, including pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and even several heavy artillery types.
Renn turned on the top option, and sure enough, a three-dimensional structure diagram of a pistol emerged.
As his eyes moved, the pistol slowly rotated, and then quickly disassembled, and became a bunch of parts in less than half a minute. Instead of assembling it immediately, he looked at the parts carefully and zoomed in in his eyes to show its parameters and materials.
As long as Rennes wants, he can always maintain the state of the part, use it as a reference to process a real part.
Renn counted and found that there were only more than twenty gun structures in total.
"It's all the firearms I've played in the game."
He had just played this game for a while and failed to unlock all three-dimensional guns. It may not be even one-tenth of the total number, which is a pity.
But it's enough.
Rennes didn't know if there was gunpowder in this world, whether gunpowder could be used, and whether it could be used to create bullets. If not, then all this would be in vain, even if there were ten thousand gun structure diagrams, it would be useless.
In addition, he believed that even if firearms could be made, they could only be used as transitional weapons.
The world of Alan Ershi has supernatural powers. The power of guns is limited, and it is an external object. It is far worse than attributed to himself. He ultimately pursues own power!
However, if one gun can be made, it will be enough to seek revenge on Ramsey and Esberg.
Ramsey is an ordinary person and can be knocked down with just one shot.
Esberg may be a little troublesome, but he is only a low-level extraordinary person. The guns can still cause fatal damage to him. As long as he finds the right opportunity to secretly fire a cold gun, Renne doesn't believe it, he can withstand it.
He immediately got up and went downstairs, where Zoltan was sitting behind the counter, counting a stack of cards in his hand.
"Boss, give me a lava castle dark beer."
Renn sat down at the counter, took out a copper lilac, and ordered the cheapest glass of wine.
Zoltan carefully put away the card, unscrew the valve of the barrel behind him, filled a large glass of dark beer and put it in front of Renn, and took away the copper plate.
The cool beer entered his throat, and Renn was excited and burped comfortably.
"This wine is good. Is it really made of rye from Lava Fort?" Lava Fort is a famous dwarf fortress located in the mountains of the world and very far from the empire.
Zoltan laughed dryly, without answering.
Renn was tactful and didn't ask any more questions. While drinking, he chatted with the dwarf casually.
After a while, Renn found that he couldn't continue talking, and there was no common topic between the two.
Zoltan basically has three sentences that are inseparable from the Wanling Card. He is almost obsessed with it. In addition to showing off his card skills, he is trying his best to invite himself to play cards. It is best to buy a set of novice cards from him, or even be willing to sell it at a discount.
"Play cards, play cards..." Renne complained wildly in his heart: "I'll hit you!"
He quickly took his last sip of beer and asked directly: "Zoltan, do you know where there are places nearby for selling alchemy materials? It's better to be more complete, I want to buy something."
"Young man, are you an alchemist or an alchemist apprentice?" Zoltan glanced at Renne suspiciously.
Alchemists are not extraordinary professions, and ordinary people can also do it, but they are a very mysterious profession. Alchemism is widely used, making weapons and equipment, refining potions, enchanting, etc. Many formal alchemists are extraordinary people and joining the alchem association.
The Alchemy Association is the top force in the empire, and almost no one dares to mess with it.
"Not either, I just want to buy some materials and use them myself."
Renn didn't know any alchemy. He wanted to learn it in the academy before, but he couldn't even pass the most basic introductory exam and could not get the qualification to be an alchemy apprentice.
Zoltan thought for a while and whispered: "What materials do you want to buy? Just tell me, it's guaranteed to be cheaper than the Alchemy Society, but you can't make a statement."
Renne was a little surprised.
Judging from this, Zoltan is likely to be an alchemist and also runs an underground business.
"There are many kinds of materials I want, and some of them can't be named. Can you let me take a look first?" Renn knew how to make gunpowder and what raw materials should be used, but he didn't know what these raw materials were called in Alan's. Only by getting them in hand can they be matched.
