A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 257



Episode 257

Wolfgang said frowning.

“Isn’t this the magic gun I gave you?”

Zeke had brought back the magic gun he had received from Wolfgang.

He did not answer Wolfgang’s words but stood fifty paces away from the armor with his magic gun drawn.

Then he immediately took aim at the gun and pulled the trigger.

Pakang!

Surprisingly no gunshot was heard from the magic gun that Zeke fired.

Rather the sound of the bullet passing through the armor was louder.

“Huh? This can’t be happening!”

Wolfgang couldn’t help but be amazed at the improved magic gun which was quieter and more accurate than the original.

Then something even more surprising happened.

Crunch!

Zeke pulled the trigger immediately without even putting the bullet back in.

He had modified his gun to allow rapid fire by applying Bastian’s magic gun.

Pakang!

Crunch!

Pakang!

Crunch!

Zeke fired his gun then pulled the trigger again a moment later demonstrating rapid fire.

After firing several shots like that when Sieg lowered his gun Wolfgang hurriedly motioned for his attendant to bring him his armor.

The two servants brought in the heavy armor clanking along.

Wolfgang examined the marks on the armor.

“Ugh.”

Surprisingly three traces remained precisely in the heart area.

It was evidence that unlike before the power was concentrated while also increasing accuracy.

The weapon that the Waldeck family which specialized in weapons had been unable to improve for years was restored to perfection in just two weeks.

He got up from his seat and looked at Zeke.

“This is truly amazing! I had no idea that you would improve your magic gun so perfectly.”

Zeke said with a calm expression.

“Would you like to shoot it yourself Master?”

At Zeke’s words Wolfgang willingly accepted the gun.

After setting up the new armor again Wolfgang picked up the gun he had received from Sieg.

He took careful aim and pulled the trigger.

Pachin!

The bullet hit exactly where Wolfgang wanted it.

He fired continuously without reloading as Zeke had done.

Pachin!

This time the bullet flew exactly in the direction he wanted.

Moreover unlike before there was no phenomenon of the body getting hot and upon hearing it it was much lighter than the previous magic gun so much so that even ordinary soldiers could easily carry it around.

He said looking at Zeke.

“This is… amazing. Seriously. What kind of magic did Sir Zeke use?”

Sieg said to Wolfgang.

“Do you fully meet the conditions for passage that the Lord has mentioned?”

Wolfgang said with a big laugh.

“Hahaha! Okay I brought something like this so you can’t say no.”

He approached Zeke and grabbed his shoulder.

“Tell me how on earth you did it.”

Sieg said looking at Wolfgang.

“I would like you to write a confirmation letter before that.”

Wolfgang’s face hardened at Sieg’s words.

This was because until now there had been almost no one who had the arrogance to ask for something from him the head of the Waldeck family.

But Wolfgang was desperately curious about how Sieg had created this magic gun.

In traditional trade the more desperate one is at a disadvantage.

Wolfgang concealed his displeasure and motioned for his servant to bring him a pen and paper.

He quickly wrote a confirmation letter confirming that Zeke Drake had passed the test and received his approval.

“Here it is.”

Zeke carefully checked the confirmation letter Wolfgang had written for him then pretended to put it in his pocket and immediately put it in his inventory.

Wolfgang spoke to Sieg with a stern expression.

“Now tell me. How did you make this?”

Then Zeke silently took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

Then he handed it to Wolfgang.

“What is this?”

“This is a technology transaction contract.”

“what?”

Wolfgang quickly looked over the contract. It contained a long list of terms and conditions for trading the technology of the improved magic gun.

Wolfgang glared at Sieg with a bewildered expression.

“Are you kidding me right now?”

Sieg also did not give up and looked straight at Wolfgang as he spoke.

“The test that the master gave me was to improve the magic gun. I improved the magic gun as he said and received the master’s approval. That was the end of the test. So transferring the technology of this improved magic gun is a different matter.”

Wolfgang’s mouth opened wide at Sieg’s words.

Since I had originally set the test thinking that Zeke wouldn’t be able to solve it I never really thought about what I would do if he brought me the real answer.

Zik hit the nail on the head.

Wolfgang clenched his teeth and gave Sieg a threatening look.

“Zeke Drake! How dare you insult me Wolfgang Waldeck on my own land!”

As the lord raised his voice threateningly the surrounding knights and soldiers drew their weapons and blocked the retreat.

Although the atmosphere had turned tense Sieg was completely unfazed and spoke to Wolfgang.

“The contract I gave you was created with reference to the technology transfer contract between the Waldeck and Draker families. I understand that Waldeck also set similar conditions when transferring technology to the Draker side. How can you say that this is insulting to the lord?”

Even though he was alone in the Waldeck territory Sieg did not back down an inch.

Wolfgang realized that Sieg was not someone who could be easily swayed by threats.

‘Who would say he’s Arthur’s son? His tongue really works well.’

He looked over the technology transfer contract again carefully his teeth clenched.

In fact it matched the terms of the contract that the Waldeck family had offered to Draker.

He barely suppressed his anger and spoke to Zeke.

“If we sign the contract will you transfer the technology?”

“I will hand over the improved magic gun and its blueprints together.”

Wolfgang was already fascinated by the new magic gun’s ability to fire continuously.

He nodded after thinking about it.

“Okay. Let’s sign the contract.”

It was annoying but if I could mass-produce magic guns with this technology my current feelings would be nothing. Maybe in a few years the future where the Waldeck family could surpass the Drakers was also imagined.

‘That guy who was born a knight has no idea of ​​the value of this weapon. If we can take the technology and deal with that guy secretly it’s only a matter of time before the Baldeck family becomes the heir to the continent.’

He signed the contract that Zeke handed him.

After reviewing the contract Zeke handed the blueprints of the magic gun over to Wolfgang.

Wolfgang looked at the design drawings with a disappointed expression.

‘Huh? It’s not magic it’s a structure that hits the bullet directly with the ball?’

The reason why magic guns have not functioned properly up until now is because it is not easy to adjust the power of explosive magic.

However Zigg completely excluded magical elements and came up with a new design in which the back of the bullet was struck by the ball causing the inside of the bullet to explode and come out.

It was a paradigm shift that broke the stereotype that bullets could only be fired using magic.

There this magic gun could fire continuously as it had a rotary magazine that could hold up to six bullets.

After taking the contract Zeke spoke to Wolfgang.

“I will be going now that the technology transfer is complete. I must go straight to Atlas and report the results to the lord.”

At Zeke’s words Wolfgang spoke with a friendly smile unlike before.

“Haha that’s right. You shouldn’t keep a busy person for too long. I’ll give you the best carriage I made a while ago so you can go comfortably. The knights of the family will escort you.”

The horse was said to be guarding but in reality it was nothing more than watching over Sieg. However Sieg seemed completely unaware of this and politely greeted Wolfgang.

“I will gratefully accept your kindness my lord.”

Zig bowed and greeted her then followed the attendant’s instructions and went straight to the carriage.

Wolfgang grabbed the blueprint and headed straight to the research workshop.

He spread out the blueprints and the magic gun in front of the head craftsman of the research workshop and said.

“Make this right now. Right now!”

The chief craftsman was flustered by the sudden shout from the master and looked over the blueprints one by one.

The craftsman looked at the newly modified magic gun and was impressed.

“Where did you get this sir?”

“That’s not important right now. Once this is completed the Waldeck family will be able to fly higher than they are now!”

The craftsman nodded and looked around the magic gun before opening the magazine.

Sieg fired three shots and Wolfgang fired two leaving just one bullet left.

The craftsman slowly examined the bullets.

Wolfgang looked at the craftsman and urged him again.

“What are you doing now? Hurry up and make a gun according to these blueprints. I need to make sure it works properly.”

Then the craftsman put down the bullet and looked at Wolfgang and said.

“If this blueprint is followed the gun will function properly. It is a very well-made and detailed blueprint.”

“Is that true?”

Wolfgang smiled inwardly at Sieg Drake’s naivety and stupidity.

‘Is it because you’re still young that you don’t really understand the value of technology?’

The craftsman said as Wolfgang stroked the magic gun with a proud expression on his face.

“But my lord where are the blueprints for this bullet?”

At the craftsman’s words Wolfgang looked at him with a face that said “What are you talking about?”

“What do you mean a blueprint for a bullet? We already have bullets made so why do we need something like that?”

Then the craftsman shook his head.

“This bullet. It’s different from the ones we made.”

At the craftsman’s words Wolfgang finally snatched the bullet and examined it.

Looking closely it was definitely different in shape and weight from the bullet he had given me.

Wolfgang looked at the craftsman and said.

“What’s so important about bullets? They were probably made similar to ours anyway.”

Then the craftsman said in embarrassment.

“That’s it… It seems to me that the core of this technology is not the gun but the bullet.”

“What? What are you talking about!”

“The technology that goes into the gun is to load it rotate the magazine pull the trigger and the bullet will come out. This is something that can be easily done with our own defense technology. It doesn’t have much of an effect on offense. But… I can’t figure out how this bullet was made.”

Wolfgang quickly looked over the technology transfer document he had signed.

“This fucking guy…..”

There was no problem with the contract as it stated specifically that the technology for the ‘magic gun’ was to be transferred.

Wolfgang’s trembling expression changed in an instant. He smiled with a look of conversion and said.

“It’s clear that the guy didn’t know he had one bullet left and just handed the gun over.”

He said to the craftsman.

“Analyze this bullet immediately. Since we have a sample it should be possible to replicate it.”

The craftsman spoke while sweating profusely.

“Oh but that will take some time.”

“It doesn’t matter. If I can just figure out the secret of this bullet I’ll win. You rascal… The moment I figure out all the secrets of this bullet I’ll send assassins to put you to sleep forever.”

* * *

Zeke was riding very comfortably to Atlas with Payne Gelion in the special carriage that Wolfgang had provided.

“By now he must be gnashing his teeth trying to figure out the secret of the bullet.”

In fact leaving one bullet left in the magazine was also Zeke’s scheme.

If he checked the contents of the contract and realized that he had been tricked he would immediately try to chase after them. However if there were any bullets left he would definitely try to analyze them first. And since it would take time to properly analyze the bullets Zig would have already arrived at the Four Seasons before that.

Payne shook his head as he looked at such a Zig.

“To deceive the Lord of Baldeck in the middle of Baldeck territory… The Master’s courage is endless.”

“You were the one who started the prank so I just paid you back.”

Then Gelion asked Zeke.

“But your majesty how did you make those bullets?”

At Gelion’s words Zig took a bullet out of his pocket.

“Is this what you mean?”

Zig flicked the bullet with his finger and it landed in Gelion’s palm.

He said with a snicker.

“Well I guess I should say it’s my own unique technique.”

What was inside the bullet was none other than ‘compressed air’.

It was after hearing Paynen say that the thing inside the dark elf’s spear blade was compressed air that he got the idea.

The principle was that when the ball hit the ground the compressed air exploded and the bullet was ejected.

Even if the identity of the bullet was discovered it was impossible to fix the compressed air inside it with existing technology.

It was a technique that only Zeke could use to control the four elements with the Elemental Sword.

‘With this there’s no need to worry about the technology leaking to Siemens.’

Zeke stretched out his legs feeling the soft cushions of the top-class carriage.

The carriage rode steadily and quickly towards Atlas escorted by the knights of Waldeck.
