The serial murder case in the factory area was indeed concluded soon, but Marian took this opportunity to show her face. I don’t know what method she used, but actually persuaded the city hall to publicly commend the Orange Cat Mercenary Group.

The commendation site was in Trail Blazers Square at the entrance of the city hall. A temporary platform was set up. The city hall sent a deputy mayor to join the branch president of the Superman Guild on stage to offer rewards to commend the outstanding performance of the Orange Cat Mercenary Group, which has solved major cases in a row.

Although Jacques and others also showed their faces, it was Marian who received the bonus and spoke. The cunning little fox came on stage to speak out, and the cliché of the people who loved the hometown and were willing to contribute to York City, took the opportunity to advertise.

In the days that followed, Marian became busy, and the leisurely afternoon tea time was often the only two of Fabian and Natasha.

Lily takes two apprentices to practice combat skills and research source energy skills every day, but Jacques cannot learn source energy skills in lightning. When Lily and Alisha are studying the sixteen source energy skills inherited by the thunder, Jacques and Fat Ju try to reversely deduce McKay's moves.

Jacques is very interested in McKay's source energy skill that can move instantly, but it is quite difficult to reversely launch the flow of source energy by just seeing the other party's use.

Winter is approaching, and York City seems to have to spend another winter without snow, but the latest mail ship crushes Lily’s plan to call the Spring Bride.

The president of the Nasselli branch finally wrote a letter, expressing his approval of Lily's choice. Jacques is also the child he has grown up. Unfortunately, due to the recent major events in Musai Port, he cannot leave for the time being. If Lily and Jacques want to get married, they don't have to wait for him.

"What happened?" Jacques lay beside him and read the letter, but was confused.

"It's probably something that cannot be mentioned. I wrote three letters to my father. He didn't reply until January. It should be really busy." Lily felt a little lost.

Jacques comforted him: "We mainly want to receive blessings from our elders. Maybe when he is free, we can arrange the wedding when he can come to York City."

"So about going to the Northern Region..."

"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I've gone, maybe I won't, I haven't thought about it yet."

Just as the two were quietly discussing their future arrangements, Alice and Emma hurried over and took them to visit Grayfos' new "toys".

"Bang!"

Everyone rushed to the backyard. Before they could get around the dense flower area, they heard two explosions, and then a ball of white smoke rose from above the rowan tree.

Before going around the plant corridor, Jacques saw Grayfos and Fabian holding a metal stick, facing a target fifty meters away. Then two more explosions sounded, and two balls of white smoke burst out from the metal stick.

The smoke dissipated a little, and Fabian said in a frustration: "Why did I miss it again? I have clearly activated the Hawkeye skill and aimed at it according to the four points and one line you said! If I change to a bow and arrow, I can hit the fly on the target at this distance!"

Jacques had seen artillery and were familiar with gunpowder. When they heard the explosion and saw the burning white smoke from gunpowder, they knew that the "toy" in their hands was a small cannon.

At this time, Jacques discovered that among the onlookers, in addition to Marian and Natasha, there was also a young man in his twenties, wearing a silk top hat and gold-rimmed glasses, and still looked thin and short in a fur coat.

Graves walked up to Jacques and introduced him, "Jacques, this is my friend Alfred Pullman, a genius in the alchemy! Alfred, this is Jacques Renault and Lily Nasselli."

The thin young man greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Jacques! I heard that you came to York City some time ago, so I wanted to visit you. Unfortunately, I was in poor health and became sick in winter. I had to go out after a little warming up recently.

I have heard Graffus say that you are a erudite, proficient in machinery, alchemy, formations, metallurgy, and the breakthrough potion you have made can achieve a 100% success rate. I admire you very much, I admire you very much!"

Jacques was a little bit like a little bit at this time. The breakthrough potion was the formula of Fat Juice, and it was also a mix of Fat Juice. He could only be regarded as an assistant. He didn't expect Marian would talk about this to Graves, and what he didn't expect was that Graves would actually tell others.

At this time, I couldn't blame the Marian brothers and sisters. Jacques had to shake hands with a funny smile and turned the topic elsewhere: "Hello, Mr. Alfred! I heard from Grayfos that you are also studying explosives. Is the small cannons in their hands your achievements?"

Alfred's face was flushed with anxiety, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, this invention called musket is also the result of the Stuart military. Although the principle is the same as the artillery, it is much more exquisite. Today I heard that Grayfors got the musket and rushed to watch it."

But Graves said: "Jacques, do you remember we were studying the ingredients of gunpowder before? I wrote a letter to Alfred about your analysis. He only took two weeks to figure out the ingredients of gunpowder and copied them."

Alfred tilted his hand into a fan: "I just used the precipitation method to separate out the ingredients confirmed by Mr. Jacques, and confirmed the proportion. It was Mr. Jacques who really cracked the gunpowder formula."

"Bao!" Fabian was shooting.

Graves felt that his friend was too modest and added: "Explosion oil is your research result. I think the explosion oil is much more powerful than gunpowder!"

"The explosion oil is unstable and the ignition point is also high. I have been experimenting with compressed wood chips to absorb the explosion oil, and then ignite it with a small amount of gunpowder..."

"Bang!"

"I didn't hit it again! No, I want to change the bow and arrow to adjust the feel! I am a sharpshooter who shoots serial killers with one arrow!" Fabian took off the target one after another, and was already irritable!

Jacques was not particularly concerned about the explosives. He took the musket from Graves's hand and wanted to test the fire. Lily also got Fabian's musket, allowing Fabian to free up his hands to get the bow and arrow.

Graves guided Jacques and Lily to use muskets. He took out two cylinder items wrapped in linen paper and handed them to Jacques and Lily: "This is gunpowder and bullets. It is packed together, so there is no need to load drugs and shells separately like cannons. You pull this handle down, by the way! The charging mouth is exposed, yes, it is loaded from the back. The design of this thing is much better than cannons!"

Graves helped Jacques and Lily install ammunition, and then said, "Push the handle back, and the bullet compartment is sealed. It's okay, Miss Lily, a little gunpowder left outside will not affect the use. When the bullet compartment is closed, it will be easier to ignite it.

Now you can aim, eyes, aim ruler, muzzle sight and target four points at one line... OK? Pull the trigger!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Jacques and Lily fired muskets respectively. After a smog of smoke, Jacques asked, "Fabian, help us see how many hits we hit. I saw that they should have hit."

"Can the stylist not see a few rings clearly at this distance? Hehe, my Hawkeye is so powerful, let me see!"
