Chapter 43 43. Magic Gun
To make matters worse, Nina was only a commoner.
If it wasn\'t for detecting two Golden grade Talents that were too exceptional to pass up , then forget about Sanctuary, with her poor talent for training magic Nina she might not even get into the simple magic tower even if she still had her purple grade talents behind her
Of course, what happens in her story can be seen as predictable.
The protagonist has no prejudice against her and values her through her faults and eventually, with the help of the protagonist, she gets out her shell and becomes an extremely useful ally for the protagonist and becomes extremely useful all throughout the entire story.
Sanctuary\'s evaluation of Nina could never be so high so he was a little curious as to why the Revolutionary army could have such a high evaluation of her.
Lucius didn\'t bother being discreet about it.
Since he was the leader if he was curious then he could just ask about it directly and that\'s just what he did.
"Camilla, this girl Nina. Her potential evaluation that you\'ve given her is extreme. I\'m not saying you did anything wrong, I also would have given her such an evaluation, it\'s just that the general consensus about people like her right now would be that their potential is medium or high at best. Nowhere near the level of extreme. I\'m curious. why would you think like that?"
Hearing this Camilla\'s eyes shone.
As expected of the leader! his vision can never have any flaws!
"Leader my eyes are not as expect ion all as your own. The reason I\'ve given Nina an extreme potential is not because of my own foresight but that of the entire revolutionary army."
"Oh? Please explain." Asked Lucius
"It\'s not too difficult to do so."
"Lucius, you are the current Leader so there\'s a lot of task you have to do so it may be difficult for you to remember small things but roughly a few years ago a strange device was created in the Magical duchy of Maryland that the Revolutionary Army has been paying attention to, it\'s called the Magic gun."
As Lucius heard the word gun his Heart skipped a beat.
The word gun alone was not too shocking for him but when mixed with the words \'revolution\' it could only be a sign that a storm was brewing.
What left Lucius confused however, was that he had read the entire book from start to finish and he had never heard of anything called the magic gun.
Maybe it had been mentioned in the book, but it\'s role must have been minuscule because he couldn\'t remember it.
But even with that Lucius\'s curiosity couldn\'t end there
"What about the magic gun?" Asked Lucius
"The gun itself is an intriguing product. It had the ability to be fired by a regular person with no mana damage and even kill fighters. Some models are said to be able to even injure first class fighters!
The only problem was that the guns themselves were extremely expensive and difficult to manufacture. Each shot fired was also extremely expensive and when the gun is damaged, repairing one was so expensive that it was deemed not worth it," said Camilla
"But the revolutionary army had not given up hope on such weapons. Only if the common man can fight back can we truly overturn the rule of the nobles. If every soldier in the revolutionary army had a magic gun, who would be able to stop us on this continent?"
As Camilla spoke a mad fanatical light flashed in her eyes!
Lucius could help but think of a scene of a group of noble knights and fighters, riding in to put down what appeared to be a simple peasant uprising only to be greeted by a firing row of magic guns and slaughtered like pigs!.
Thinking like this, Lucius felt his scalp tingle!
Dangerous! Really dangerous!
Lucius knew that the empire saw the revolutionary army as a threat but it was only now that he knew that the threat level they assigned to them was too low!
They had underestimated this band of revolutionaries!
Even Lucius, the leader, had to admit he had underestimated them.
They were at least a threat at the same level of the demon king. No, if given enough time, they could probably even surpass it
Even if the experiment in making a mana gun more efficient we\'re doomed and destined to fail. Such progressive and innovative thinking is something to be feared.
After all, it was clearly stated in the novel that the world was only stepping into the doors of magical engineering and alchemy.
Right now, the possibilities for the future were endless
Lucius didn\'t overestimate his smartness.
If it was up to him and he was leading the revolution, he would also think of a way to standardise guns and get them in the hands of people.
But that was different. He was a modern man from a modern world.
He was given access to the internet filled with countless information and stories that made his thinking novel and dynamic
But these people were born in a semi backward world and yet their thinking was so progressive and novel.
I\'m afraid that if Lucius was reused in a backward world like this then his thinking would be difficult to match them.
If the revolutionary army wasn\'t limited by the rules of the world that made it so that their hopes of standardising and producing guns extremely difficult
Maybe if given 10 or 15 more years, the songs of revolution would sweep across the continent and inside the royal palace of the Empire as burnt to the ground!
After discussing the situation with Nina, Lucius had looked through the entirety of the information that Camilla provided.
Even if the information was gathered last minute and his knowledge about the book meant that he already knew a good part of it, there were still some details that had surprised him.
