Chapter 2713: Chapter 1170: Tempting With Benefits

"The usage is the same as the Gnome Alchemical Firearm: unlock the safety, load the bullets, and pull the trigger to fire." Professor Gaven said.

This Gnome spokesperson learned instantly, his movements practiced, showing he’s clearly an expert in this field.

Upon understanding how to use it, his stance with the gun was even more precise, as if fearing the weapon’s recoil was too much for him to handle, he adopted a prone shooting position, concentrating to prepare for shooting.

However, after unlocking the safety, the Gnome spokesperson paused, canceling his shooting motion, his gaze returning to the Elemental Gun.

It only appeared similar to the Gnome Alchemical Firearm, but its principles were vastly different.

Its safety setting did not inhibit firing but cut off the Magic Array.

The entire Elemental Gun was a small Magic Array, and when the safety was unlocked, and the final piece of the puzzle was in place, the red extended from the gunstock along the runic patterns on the barrel, forming a complete whole, enhancing its appearance to the point of seeming like an art piece.

Delonel could clearly feel the Elemental Power surging within.

At this moment, he finally understood why it was called the Elemental Gun; it was a brand-new application of elements.

The Gnome spokesperson no longer hesitated, directly pulling the trigger to activate this unique Magic Array.

Boom!

Even though the Gnome spokesperson was fully prepared, he was still jolted by the powerful recoil, his whole body noticeably shaken.

In contrast, a visible tongue of flame shot out, and a fireball, visible to the naked eye, sped at an unbelievable speed, bombarding a target stone a hundred meters away.

The crowd seemed to hear a dragon’s roar faintly, with the fireball resembling a miniature, winged Flame Flying Dragon in flight.

The fireball exploded, sending earth and rock flying, leaving a large bowl-sized hole in the target stone.

What kind of gun is this?

It’s practically a small cannon.

"Elemental bullets!" the Gnome spokesperson screamed in disbelief, "No, these are elemental bullets propelled by highly compressed elements, featuring both elemental and physical properties!"

He felt it distinctly; a metal bullet was wrapped within the fireball.

While the Fire Element formed the thrust, the continuously spinning metal bullet also absorbed the surrounding Fire Element, ultimately creating a complementary dual attack.

The first wave was a flame explosion impact, and the second wave was the metal bullet bombardment.

If it weren’t a giant stone on the other side, but a body of flesh and blood, that one shot just now would have been enough to sever a limb; even wearing heavy armor, if it didn’t blast through, it would still cause severe deformity.

The destructive power was incomparable to the Gnome Alchemical Firearm.

Gaven timely spoke up: "I shouldn’t need to elaborate on its value; merely increasing the caliber turns the gun into a cannon, further enhancing the destructive power. Deploying dozens of them at strategic passes could comprehensively blockade the area, making it impenetrable for armies.

Moreover, this is just a primary version, with significant potential to tap into. For instance, integrating your Alchemical Gunpowder into these bullets and shells could cause impactful explosions upon striking the target, likely enhancing their destructive power, potentially achieving armor penetration.

The Flame model is just one variant; the power of bullets or shells fired with other elemental attributes, like wind, water, and earth, will differ."

Gulp.

The Gnome spokesperson couldn’t help but swallow nervously, knowing full well as a senior Gnome engineer that Gaven wasn’t spouting nonsense, but rather there was tremendous feasibility.

They, the Gnomes, hid away their Alchemy Bombardment Cannon’s invention, fearing it would disrupt the world too greatly.

But who would’ve thought, they suddenly found their technology obsolete.

Looking back at Gaven, the Gnome spokesperson’s gaze was evidently different from before, tremblingly inquiring: "Does Lord Conqueror mean to say that you’re willing to share this technology with us?"

Gaven corrected: "More accurately, I want to research deeply with you and develop more usage methods; your bombardment cannon and alchemy fire gun have aspects to be learned from."

"I can’t make that decision; to use the bombardment cannon and alchemical fire gun technology, we must gain the Invention Committee’s approval from Landan Island." The Gnome spokesperson replied with a face of regret.

"Can you contact the Landan Island Invention Committee? I’d like to present to them personally, and I can visit Landan Island as well." Gaven took the opportunity to inquire.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Landan Island’s gnomes are home to Felon’s best invention group, gathering many gnomes and other ingenious inventors.

Many of Felon’s strange inventions have come from their hands, like the suspension for four-wheeled carriages and parts for wheels that can be recycled and repaired, the ever-burning oil lamp as long as there’s oil in the tank, various light and tripwire alarms.

Also complex hinge chains, auto-timer devices, clasps, locks, and objects with special functions (like the "sharp thorn needle," which can be poisoned to deter thieves, cavities to hide keys, special door handles that simultaneously ring a bell when opening the door).

Some are incredibly practical, while others seem useful but are ultimately useless miscellanies.

This bold innovative thinking and exceptional hands-on capability are exactly what Gaven needs most, especially in complex industrial equipment, like underground rail cars, or automobiles, iron warships, and the like.
