Chapter 56: Thorn gold rose

　　 While Ivan was whispering secretly, things on the merchant ship made new progress.
　　 Although the smuggling ship was seized, they were going to participate in the celebration after all, and it was not suitable to take these goods on the road.
　　 Let the general call the shots, with a big hand waved: "Look at the amount of tax that is not contraband."
　　 In front of his sons and daughters, especially the innocent and lovely daughter, he didn't want to make the scene too ugly. It was also an open side, giving this nasty guy who dared to smuggle a way out.
　　 "Yes, yes, thank you, sir!" After the commander conveyed the general's order, the fat businessman thanked him so much that he crawled and ran into his cabin to prepare for the fine.
　　 Although my profits are bound to shrink greatly after paying taxes, I still have a profit, which is 10,000 times better than all fines!
　　Huh...huh...
　　 After a short while, he struggling to walk out holding a wooden box and a long box, and placing it in front of the major officer with a painful expression.
　　 "My lord, this is all my property except the goods. Please check it and see if it is enough."
"Ah..."
　　 Looking at this fat face with a smirk, the major officer didn't believe a word of what he said to him.
　　 He just knows that if this guy dared to give him one less copper, without the command of the general, he would first show him a good look!
　　 Click
　　 opened the box, the officer pouted.
　　 Seeing that the box is not small, in fact, except for a few golden lions, most of them are silver bulls, and there are even a lot of copper fur. Several small pocket watches with exquisite workmanship inlaid with gem crystals, sterling silver knife and fork plates, and a roll of soft white silk.
　　 It seems that there is a feeling of hollowing out the family.
　　 Fortunately, in addition to currency and precious metals, pocket watches and silk are also hard currencies in the kingdom. Obviously, in this case, he would not dare to fool the navy even if he gave him ten courage.
　　 But... the number is still wrong!
Major 　　's brows were just wrung, and the fat businessman who was good at observing words and expressions had already held the last long long box and handed it over.
　　 just opened it and took a look, and the major quickly closed the lid. His complexion immediately looked much better, he patted the businessman on the shoulder again, and directly announced the closing of the team.
　　 "What is mysterious and mysterious?" Aiwen was a little far away, and he couldn't see what was in the box at all with a startling glance.
　　 But very soon, the Lord General satisfied his curiosity.
　　 The "fine" harvested was immediately handed over to General Snett. Ignoring the bits and pieces in the wooden box, he was very confident in the vision of his officers.
　　 What makes him more interested is the things in the long box.
　　 That is a musket.
　　 Strictly speaking, it is an "alchemy musket"!
　　 Unlike ordinary muskets, which are mostly made by blacksmiths in the Ordnance Institute, "alchemy muskets", "alchemy bombs" and more magical "sea monster pointers" are all made by mysterious "alchemists".
　　 "Ha, it really is a masterpiece by the master alchemist!"
　　 The magical alchemy gives this kind of alchemy creation superior performance beyond the times, and is regarded as a gem by every spearman master.
　　 However, unlike the standardized equipment such as alchemy bombs, the precision of alchemy muskets also means that it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Every surviving alchemy musket is synonymous with rare and precious.
　　 I don't know where this shameless smuggler got this kind of treasure, but he missed it because of a dramatic anti-smuggling operation.
　　 Ivan has been in the navy for so long, so he is no stranger to all kinds of excellent weapons.
　　 As far as he knows.
　　Although on the whole, the productivity of this era is very backward, because of the coexistence of witchcraft and technology, the alchemy guns from the masters even possess the power of terror that surpasses the modern guns of previous lives.
　　 even because of their powerful power and accuracy, they have a proprietary name-"sniper rifle".
　　 Its superior performance beyond the times allows excellent sniper riflemen to accurately kill opponents with the help of a special scope. Even a mighty extraordinary knight at a suitable distance could not withstand the sudden sniper of a sniper rifle.
　　 There is no doubt that Aiwen covets such a powerful weapon.
　　 Although he is good at swordsmanship, he does not have the obsession of "Being honest with the sword can be the best at the sword". As a typical pragmatist, of course what is easy to use.
　　 In the previous life, every boy had a firearm dream when he was young.
　　 For the alchemy musket, which is known as the strongest individual weapon standing at the pinnacle of the times, Ivan naturally has a deep understanding of its power.
　　 Rumored.
　　 Even those great knights who are tenacious and strong enough to interfere with reality and even activate the supernatural power of vindictiveness, dare not distance themselves, and face three or five alchemy muskets held in the hands of excellent snipers.
　　Although the final victor is likely to be a knight, he must pay a painful price.
　　 This also proves the deterrent power of the alchemy musket.
　　 Of course, alchemy muskets are rare, but excellent snipers are even rarer. The requirements on land may not be so harsh, because the solid ground can provide enough stability for the sniper.
　　 But on a battleship, there is never a stable platform for snipers to shoot. The ever-present wind and waves make the difficulty of sniping soar, and "the smallest difference is a thousand miles" in long-range sniping is by no means empty words.
　　 The sniper is a very talented profession like a mathematician. The so-called talent is more similar to a special intuition, which is difficult to train.
　　 Therefore, the powerful snipers in the Royal Navy that can truly exert the power of alchemy muskets may only be single digits, perhaps less than the number of alchemy muskets in the world. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 "Even if the powerful alchemy rifle is placed in the hands of mediocrity, it is similar to the work of ordinary blacksmiths."
　　 Obviously more than one has the same idea as Aiwen.
　　 When the general raised the "alchemy musket" to admire it, Ivan also saw its full picture.
The barrel is slightly dull in the silver, the burgundy stock with delicate wood, and a vine dotted with golden rose patterns runs through the body of the gun. It is better to say that it is a big killer than it is a magnificent art. Product.
　　 A line of small characters was engraved on the bottom part of the butt, and the general with his favorite color read its name: "Thorn Golden Rose!"
　　 "Ah! This musket is so beautiful, and the name is very nice!" Even the little girl who knows nothing about weapons gave a heartfelt admiration.
　　 even tried to reach out and touch it several times, but was avoided by the general. The Lieutenant General would not dare to let a bear kid touch this kind of thing, even a very cute bear kid.
　　After admiring it for a long time, General Snetter put down the alchemy musket with some regrets. Although the group of officers next to him had eager eyes, most of them were self-aware, and neither ability nor status was worthy of this musket.
Although General Snett was a lieutenant admiral, he was also a downright civilian general. He knew very well that even if he took this musket, it was only used as a precious decoration, and it could not exert its value at all. Violent.
　　 "Save it! I hope it can meet its owner worthy of it in the future."
　　 A group of people watched as the re-sealed alchemy musket was sent into the lower cabin, until the shadows were no longer visible, they came back to their senses.
　　 "If only I had a talent for sniper."
　　 The same sigh echoed in everyone's hearts at this moment.
