Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Technology and Firearms

Rota City.

This is a city nestled among the mountains.

As a vital transportation route that must be passed to cross the Mudu Mountains, it has high strategic value.

Once occupied, it is equivalent to seizing the supply line of the western front, so there is no shortage of garrisons in the city.

Similarly.

Because it is located on a transportation route, there are many merchants coming and going, and the composition of the people in the city is also very complex.

Mountain people, vagrants, bandits…

Many forces gather.

Even though the Colon military has occupied this city, they do not have the extra energy to clear out these people.

And this,

Precisely creates conditions for assassination.

The mountain forests are filled with thick fog.

Especially recently, every morning Rota City is shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see one’s fingers, and it will slowly dissipate by noon.

The slum in the south of the city.

Duru, dressed in merchant attire, with his hands behind his back, knocks on the door, summoning everyone to an open area.

“I have contacted the informants that Gando has placed here, and they will introduce us to the target of the assassination and assist us in completing the mission.”

“Some of you are participating in an operation for the first time, and may not be familiar with your teammates, so let’s introduce ourselves first.”

He speaks slowly:

“This will make it more convenient to cooperate later.”

“Yes.” An old man with graying whiskers nods:

“I’ll go first!”

He strokes his whiskers and smiles:

“Friends of the Starry Secret Society probably don’t know me well, my name is Bancroft, a member of the Alliance exploration team. Due to certain reasons, I’m temporarily here to participate in the operation with you.”

“An Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, proficient in Evocation Magic, and also practices Puppetry.”

Evocation Magic can manipulate various energies to produce the desired results, as if creating something from nothing.

Most Evocation spells can create gorgeous effects, and such spells can also cause great damage.

For example: Magic Missile, Magic Dart, Chain Lightning, etc., all belong to the category of Evocation.

Therefore, wizards who are proficient in Evocation Magic are usually good at dueling with others, and everyone’s eyes light up when they hear this.

Originally, some people were unhappy to see an outsider here, but now they also show smiles on their faces.

With Bancroft’s age and the magic he is proficient in, his strength must be among the best of the Intermediate Wizard Apprentices.

Perhaps,

He is not inferior to some Senior Wizard Apprentices.

After all, becoming a Senior Wizard Apprentice is one thing, and completing the construction of spell models is another.

The few young Senior Wizard Apprentices in the Starry Secret Society probably haven’t had time to construct more spell models.

“Ben!”

“Shirley!”

A couple steps forward together.

They were among the first members when the Starry Secret Society was just established, so everyone present knows them.

Ben is tall and has thick silver hair. His facial features are well-defined, and his eyes are clear and transparent.

His good background makes his demeanor both solemn and elegant.

Shirley has bright eyes, smooth golden hair, and wears an elegant dress, like a blooming flower.

She always has a smile on her face, and her temperament is sunny and warm. She is obviously very satisfied with her husband.

Ben and Shirley have always been a model couple in the Starry Secret Society.

“We are both Intermediate Wizard Apprentices, specializing in the Life Magic of the School of Nature. Shirley also practices Bloodline Magic, and she has a thin Druid bloodline.”

Shirley nods.

“Druid?” Someone asks with surprise:

“A Druid, a guardian of nature and an embodiment of the forest? So, Sister Shirley actually has this kind of bloodline.”

Elves, Druids, vampires…, have all appeared in the records of wizards, but very few people have seen them.

Now that they hear that Shirley has a Druid bloodline, they are very surprised.

Shirley smiles and nods.

“Nelly!”

A young man walks out and says:

“I just advanced to Intermediate Wizard Apprentice last year. I used to be a thief, specializing in Illusion Magic.”

Nelly is thin and has an average face, making it easy to be overlooked in a crowd.

His background is not good either.

But no one would laugh at him.

Because he is an extremely rare Second-Level Wizard Talent holder, just like Mordecai and Omar.

Even though he embarked on the path of a wizard later, he still quickly broke through to Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, and his future is bright.

He is also not a member of the Starry Secret Society, but he should be after this mission.

“Gavin.”

A tall, muscular, and handsome young man walks out of the crowd. He puts one hand on his chest and bows slightly:

“Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, Knight, specializing in Earth Magic of the School of Nature, and I am relatively good at Protective Magic.”

“Amy.”

He turns his head to look at the girl beside him:

“It’s your turn.”

Gavin’s appearance and temperament are probably the best among the men present, and even the married Shirley casts an admiring glance at him.

But Amy doesn’t seem to be interested in him. She just gives an awkward smile at his enthusiastic greeting.

“Amy, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, specializing in Wind Magic of the School of Nature, and I have a magical creature.”

As she speaks, she calls out ‘Little Wind’ to meet the others present.

“That’s all of us.”

Duru nods:

“When the people from the Kingdom of Gando come over, we’ll plan how to…”

“Wait a minute!”

Amy suddenly raises her hand and interrupts:

“Karl hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Karl?” Duru’s expression darkens slightly.

Of course, he hasn’t forgotten Karl. Before coming, Sybil specifically told him to take good care of her junior brother.

But now,

the agreed date has arrived, and he still hasn’t come.

Could it be that he wants to take credit without contributing?

Does he really think that just because Sybil is his senior sister, he has such a big face?

Even though Duru has a good temper, he can’t help but feel displeased, and subconsciously ignores Karl.

“Sorry!”

Just as he is about to speak, a travel-worn Karl walks in from outside, with a hint of fatigue on his face:

“Something delayed me, I’m late.”

“Karl!” Amy’s eyes light up, and she says quickly:

“You’ve come just in time. We were just introducing ourselves and were about to discuss what to do next.”

“Oh!”

Karl’s eyes flicker slightly, and he steadies his spirit and says:

“Then I’ll introduce myself too.”

“Karl, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, Grand Knight, specializing in Water Magic of the School of Nature, and also practices martial arts.”

“Huh?”

“Huh!”

“Ah…”

Everyone is stunned.

Duru’s eyes also show a trace of bewilderment:

“What did you just say?”

“Grand Knight?”

He heard Sybil mention that Karl had recently become an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, but she didn’t say anything else.

“Yes.” Karl nods:

“My wizard talent is very poor, but fortunately my talent as a knight is not bad, and I am now a Grand Knight.”

As he speaks, his body shakes, and his battle aura erupts.

The substantial battle aura emerges, causing everyone present to hold their breath.

Grand Knight!

A genuine Grand Knight without a doubt!

“…Okay!”

Duru is stunned for a moment, then laughs loudly:

“Very good!”

“A Grand Knight plus an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice is no worse than an ordinary Senior Wizard Apprentice, very good!”

“With your help, it will be more convenient for us to act.”

Karl is so strong, and Sybil still asked him to take care of himself. With this kind of strength, he’s more than capable of taking care of others.

…………

Dempsey is a loyal follower of the Morning Sun, and also a local bishop, mastering seven divine techniques.

At the same time.

He is also the leader of the resistance forces in Rota City.

Even though this place has been occupied by the Colon military, life is difficult for those who are loyal to Gando and the Morning Sun.

Dempsey has not given up hope, and leads the remaining resistance forces to fight against Colon.

“Clatter…”

A pile of long, tubular objects of unknown origin are dumped on the table by the resistance forces.

“This is…” Duru looks puzzled:

“What are these things?”

The people from the Black Swamp are all puzzled, but Karl’s eyes widen in surprise, as if he has seen something incredible.

This thing…

“Firearms!” Dempsey says with a solemn expression:

“Things manufactured by the Colon military, they can use the power of gunpowder to launch iron projectiles to cause damage.”

“Even a knight, if surrounded by several of these things, will find it difficult to survive without armor.”

It really is a gun!

Karl picks up a ‘firearm’, his eyes complex.

It’s a gun!

A firearm from his memories!

And it’s not the more primitive fire lance, nor a hand cannon, but a flintlock rifle!

A flintlock rifle with a complete structure!

In his memory, the flintlock rifle was a revolutionary weapon of war that completely changed traditional warfare.

“In recent years, the King of Colon has vigorously developed so-called ‘technology’, creating many strange things.”

Dempsey says:

“Firearms are one of them.”

“And even more powerful cannons!”

“The reason why the allied forces of several countries have been constantly defeated on the battlefield is because there is a group of soldiers in the Colon army.”

“They wield flintlock rifles, and can fight head-on against cavalry composed of knights. With their large numbers, and with the assistance of long-range cannons, no army can compete with them.”

Technology?

Guns and cannons?

Could it be that the King of Colon is also a transmigrator?

Karl is lost in thought.

Judging from the King of Colon’s deeds, it does seem likely.

He was born with the blessing of a deity, possesses wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, became a king at a young age, and is determined to restore the glory of the empire from hundreds of years ago, starting a war to conquer other countries.

After thinking for a moment, he shakes his head slightly:

“Probably not.”

The King of Colon’s deeds are widely circulated, and there are not many characteristics of a transmigrator, he seems more like a wise and ambitious monarch.

Moreover.

The word ‘technology’ has existed in this world for a long time, and Signo City has modern factories.

There is no lack of various mechanical creations or principles, but development is slow due to the suppression by the Church.

It is actually very normal to develop firearms.

Moreover, the people of Colon are called fire thieves, and their understanding of gunpowder already surpasses that of other kingdoms.

“Come!”

While Karl is lost in thought, Father Dempsey calls over a member of the resistance:

“You demonstrate this thing.”

“Yes!”

The resistance member responds and skillfully picks up a firearm, loads gunpowder, and pulls the trigger at a wooden board not far away.

Judging from his skilled movements, Gando’s side has also realized the power of firearms and learned how to operate them.

“Bang!”

Along with a muffled sound, the smell of gunpowder spreads, and at the same time, the wooden board ten meters away is instantly shattered.

The hardness of that wooden board is not much worse than the plate armor worn by knights.

The group of wizard apprentices who witness this are shocked.

Without using defensive magic, even if they were hit in a vital spot by a single shot, they would find it difficult to survive.

Considering that the Colon soldiers in the city all have a firearm in hand, even a Formal Wizard would probably be riddled with holes.

“The power of firearms is great, and the key is that they are easy to activate, so even ordinary people can quickly get the hang of it.”

Dempsey sighs:

“It is because of this kind of thing that our resistance has not made much progress in close combat.”

“Fortunately, you have come!”

He looks at Duru, his eyes shining:

“With the help of wizard apprentices, we will surely send that demon Bob to hell!”

“This…” The originally confident Duru’s face turns pale, and he gives an awkward smile:

“Let’s discuss what to do first.”

“Please come this way!”

Dempsey waves his hand, leading everyone to a table covered with maps, the map is of Rota City.

“Bob is currently living in the north of the city, and he is always guarded by hundreds of soldiers, each with a firearm.”

“Here.”

He points to a residence some distance away from where Bob is staying:

“The King of Colon’s cousin lives here. Her status in Colon is higher than Bob, and the defense is relatively lax.”

“Hmm…” Duru frowns:

“You mean, you want us to assassinate her?”

The target given by the Alliance does not include this cousin.

“No!” Dempsey shakes his head:

“Although this cousin of the king has a high status, her importance is far less than Bob’s, and you should still focus on Bob as your target.”

“But we can use her to lure away the guards around Bob, making the assassination more convenient.”

Duru rests his hand on his chin and nods slowly.

***

Two days later.

The sky is hazy.

“I, Karl, Bancroft, and Ben and Shirley will go to assassinate the target, Earl Bob.”

Duru gathers everyone and says solemnly:

“Gavin, you, Nelly, and Amy go to the king’s cousin’s residence, make a commotion to lure away the guards around Bob, and create conditions for us.”

“Don’t worry!”

“Father Dempsey will act with you. He has several knights and more than a dozen knight squires, all of whom are experienced warriors.”

In the past two days, everyone has discussed the countermeasures and explored the route, and now it is just a recap.

Bancroft steps forward and takes out something that looks like a beehive, handing it to Gavin.

A pained expression appears on his face.

“This thing is called Firefly Puppets, it contains more than a hundred puppet insects. Each one is very small so they won’t attract attention. If you put them in a suitable place, they can be detonated at the same time.”

Bancroft says:

“The flames produced after the puppet insects detonate are difficult to extinguish, you can use it to create chaos.”

***

Gavin’s eyes light up:

“Thank you!”

With this, the plan will be smoother.

“Let’s go!”

Duru waves his hand:

“After the mission is completed, meet here. If anyone falls into danger…, save them if you can.”

“If it’s really not possible…”

“Then give up!”

“The difficulty of this mission has exceeded our expectations, but fortunately we have enough manpower, and we are also very confident.”

Everyone’s expressions become serious, and they nod one after another.

…………

The outskirts of the city.

More than a dozen figures take advantage of the fog to approach a manor.

“Nelly.”

Among the three, Gavin has the highest cultivation level, so he has naturally become the leader. He hands the Firefly Puppets to his companion:

“You go and place the puppets.”

“Okay.”

Nelly was a thief, and he also cultivates Illusion Magic, making him the most suitable person to do this among the three.

He takes a step back, gently waves the staff in his hand, his figure sways, and gradually disappears into the fog.

This is not true invisibility.

But with the cover of the morning mist, ordinary people will find it difficult to notice his presence, making it enough for him to place the puppet insects silently.

“Father Dempsey.”

After waiting for a while, Gavin speaks again:

“Let your people take action!”

“Gavin!” Amy is startled:

“Nelly hasn’t detonated the puppet insects yet.”

According to the plan.

Nelly should detonate the puppet insects first, attracting the attention of the Colon people, and then they would act here, expanding the impact.

Finally, they would attack the target directly, making a big commotion, and then retreat before the Colon soldiers complete the encirclement.

Their purpose this time is not to kill the King of Colon’s cousin, but to gradually make the commotion as big as possible, attracting more soldiers, so as to facilitate Karl’s action, so they can’t rush.

“The time has come.”

Gavin shakes his head:

“We can’t waste time because of Nelly. He may not have chosen a good location, so we’ll act first.”

“But…” Amy wants to say something, but is stopped by his wave.

“Father!”

“Take action!”

Ever since he witnessed the firearms developed by the Colon people, Gavin has felt uneasy, his mind constantly tense.

There are only three wizard apprentices here, and their strength is not strong. If they are really surrounded, then…

He must not have an accident!

There are five people on the other side, and they are all experts. Even if there is some pressure, it is nothing.

“Okay.”

Dempsey hesitates slightly, then takes out a whistle from his body and blows it, the sharp sound spreading in all directions.

Immediately afterwards.

“Bang!”

“Bang bang!”

“…”

Gunshots ring out around the manor, one after another, and from all directions, causing an uproar.

These are all resistance members who were placed in advance.

For today’s plan, Dempsey has gathered all the resistance fighters in the city, also planning to take a gamble.

“Amy!”

Gavin urges.

Amy has no choice but to wave her staff and cast a spell:

“Listening to the Wind!”

Instantly.

Her ears tremble rapidly, and various sounds around her flood into her eardrums, piecing together a three-dimensional image in her mind.

The movements of the more than a hundred people in the manor are clear.

“Some of the soldiers in the manor are fighting back, and some have gone to the backyard. Our target should be in the backyard.”

She points to the front:

“There are two sentries behind this wall.”

“Okay.”

Gavin nods:

“Father.”

“It’s my turn.” Dempsey takes a deep breath, steps forward with his Bible in hand, and says solemnly:

“God, grant strength to the people before me!”

“Speed!”

“Courage!”

An invisible holy light descends from the sky, enveloping everyone present.

Instantly.

Everyone feels the abundant power, endless energy, and flexible joints within their bodies.

“God, grant you the eyes of an eagle and the perception of a spider.”

“Discern evil!”

Amy blinks.

She can feel that her vision has become unprecedentedly good, and her perception of her surroundings has become more acute.

Even,

She can vaguely perceive the hostile aura around her, and all the enemies appear as red dots in her perception.

“Although divine techniques rarely kill directly, their auxiliary effects are indeed much stronger than magic.”

“Magic is usually only used on individuals, while divine techniques can be applied to a large area.”

“Amy!”

Gavin instructs:

“You must pay attention to the movements around you. Once you find a large number of Colon soldiers approaching, we will retreat immediately, and we must not get entangled in battle.”

“…Yes.” Amy sighs.

She already understands Gavin’s thoughts, to complete the mission as soon as possible, but doesn’t care how well it is completed.

However, if that is the case, the pressure on Karl and the others will become very great.

While she is thinking, Gavin is already waving his staff, and points it gently at the wall in front:

“Stone and Rock Dissolution!”

The solid wall made of rocks turns into soft mud and scatters on the ground under the effect of magic.

“Go!”

Dempsey waves his hand.

The accompanying knights and knight squires rush into the courtyard along the gap, quickly eliminating the nearby sentries.

“Bang!”

Gunshots ring out, accompanied by loud shouts.

“Come quickly!”

“There are assassins!”

***

“Quick!”

Gavin waves his staff, the ground ripples like water, knocking down several people in front of him.

Amy summons her magical creature, and with a wave of her hand, a strong wind rises, obscuring vision with sand, and sharp wind blades are mixed within it.

A group of people rush into the courtyard, and almost no one can stop them.

…………

On the roof ridge.

Several people, shrouded in magic, are difficult to see with the naked eye.

The large number of troops below rushing towards the princess’s residence also causes Duru and the others to show surprise, and then ecstasy.

“Gavin did well!”

Ben claps his hands lightly:

“He actually lured away so many people, it’s much more convenient for us to act here.”

“Perhaps the Colon people never thought that there were us in the city besides Gando’s resistance, so they are less prepared.” Shirley says with a smile:

“But this is a good thing.”

“Quick battle, quick resolution.” Duru thinks more:

“Let’s resolve the target as soon as possible, and then go help Gavin. They are probably going to be in big trouble this time.”

Everyone nods.

The soldiers here have almost all been dispatched for some reason, enough to seal off all the streets near the princess’s residence.

If no one helps, the possibility of Gavin and the others surviving is extremely low.

The methods of wizards are mysterious and powerful, but they usually cannot last long. Once their mental power is exhausted, they are even inferior to knight squires.

“Go!”

Duru waves his staff, and takes the lead to rush towards the manor, his body landing lightly, shooting out like an arrow.

With the cover of magic, ordinary people have difficulty detecting their presence.

Before long.

A group of five people arrive near a study.

“Eight auras.”

Shirley narrows her eyes:

“There are two wizard apprentices, five knights, and the aura of the other person is not clear to me.”

“That should be Bob.”

She has the Druid bloodline, and she has also specialized in perception magic, so she will not make a mistake in this regard.

“Get ready.”

Duru takes a deep breath, takes out a bottle of potion from his body and drinks it, and then adds several layers of buffs to himself with his staff.

Danger Perception!

Automatic Evasion!

Minor Force Field!

***

The others are the same.

Everyone drinks at least one bottle of potion, and Ben even drinks three bottles, stacking various buffs.

Fountain of Life!

Strength Potion!

Tranquility!

Quick Casting!

……

Karl opens his mouth and honestly takes out a potion that can temporarily increase mental power and drinks it.

‘No wonder they say that the lethality of wizard apprentices is terrifying, and Senior Wizard Apprentices can kill Legendary Knights.’

‘With all these buffs, the lethality that erupts in a short time is several times higher than usual. The several buffs that Ben cast even directly make his physical strength comparable to a Grand Knight for a certain period of time.’

In fact, Karl also knows that this is the normal state of duels between wizard apprentices. It is unusual to fight without preparation.

But it is the first time he has seen it, so he can’t help but be surprised.

When everyone is ready, Duru takes a deep breath, and looks at the front with his staff in hand:

“Take action!”

Zero-Circle Spell ━ Soul Tremor!

Bancroft’s staff is somewhat like an old man’s cane. He holds the staff with both hands and closes his eyes.

Zero-Circle Spell ━ Magic Missile!

Ben and Shirley stand side by side, each spreading their palms, and seeds fly out of their hands towards the front.

Zero-Circle Spell ━ Frenzied Growth!

Instantly.

With the blessing of many buffs, the terrifying power of the Zero-Circle Spells erupts together.

An invisible force field falls from the sky.

Magic Missiles the size of fists, like a rainstorm, rush towards the study in front.

Countless vines covered with thorns, as thick as a child’s arm, grow at an alarming speed, encompassing the entire study.

Even a Legendary creature, facing this kind of offensive, would probably be torn to shreds in an instant.

“Buzz…”

A red light appears on the surface of the study, and shields formed by flames appear out of thin air, and then shatter the attacks.

When they take action, mental fluctuations leak out, alerting the Colon side.

But one side is prepared and has stacked various buffs, while the other side is caught off guard, and is obviously at a disadvantage.

“Boom!”

In the midst of a roar.

The study is completely reduced to ruins.

Five of the eight auras have already disappeared, and the remaining three auras have also become very weak.

“Quick!”

Duru shouts:

“Don’t let them escape!”

“Bang!”

Karl’s feet shake the ground, and his body shoots out at an alarming speed like a cannonball.

In mid-air, his dual swords are unsheathed with a clang, and he slashes down at a person below.

“Clang…”

“Puff!”

A head falls to the ground, and before the body can fall, it turns into a stone block under the effect of petrification.

Huh?

That’s not right!

This person is not the target of this mission!

His heart beats wildly, and his dual swords are crossed in front of him, and the defensive magic Azure Wave Protection is instantly activated.

Furthermore, Minor Force Field, Control Gravity, and so on…

“Clang…”

A long sword cuts through the void, piercing through the force field and the obstruction of the water, colliding with the crossed dual swords.

A terrifying force erupts.

Karl’s eyes widen, the ground beneath his feet cracks, and his entire body is blasted ten meters away by this force.

“Huh?”

The person who attacked is surprised, seemingly not expecting that his full-force sword would actually be blocked, and then his figure flashes and pounces towards Ben and Shirley.

“Be careful!”

“It’s a Legendary!”

Before his voice can fall, Ben’s head has already left his body and is flying high into the air.
