    The conversation between the two stunned Charlotte and Rickett on the side. They could feel the cruelty in it and the majesty of Sophia's increasingly mature queen.  Freddy's eyes flashed and he said imperceptibly: "Good job." After gaining Sophia's understanding, the matter was completely settled.  Raymond then said: "When I come back this time, the most important thing is to make arrangements to deal with the Necromancer's fleet and sea dragons." "Now that the Sidonis sect has successfully contained the undead army, Ferelden has no worries for the time being.  In order to completely eliminate the Necromancer, we must first deal with their fleet, especially the sea dragon. " "This matter was originally very troublesome, but after cooperating with the Sidonis sect, it will be possible for Gru and Kress to work together.  Here we are. The only thing that needs to be determined now is how ready is Alina¡¯s crystal core?¡± Hearing his question, Charlotte and Rickett looked at each other, and the latter said: ¡°I don¡¯t know yet.  "What?" Raymond was surprised: "After so long, how can you still not know?" Charlotte said awkwardly: "Master Raymond, Alina has locked herself up since you left.  In the workshop, no one is allowed to approach, so we don¡¯t know what the progress is.¡± Raymond stood up and said, ¡°This is not possible, this matter is related to whether Hai Long can be successfully solved, I have to see that girl.  " At this point in the meeting, almost everything that needs to be said has been said, so the group of people went out and left.  ***************************************************  **************** Freddy and others had their own things to do, so they all returned to work. Only Sophia accompanied Raymond to ask Alina's alchemist  Walk away.  The two walked through the town all the way, and everyone they saw along the way saluted Sofia respectfully.  During her time at Headington, Sophia had successfully established her popularity.  Since the workshop is located on the edge of a small town, the location is remote, so after walking for a while, the pedestrians gradually became sparse, and finally there were only two people left around.  Raymond had been thinking about how to deal with Hai Long and didn't speak the whole way.  And Sophia didn't know if she was still affected by joining forces with the enemy who killed her father, so she walked side by side with Raymond silently without saying a word.  Not far away, the roof of the alchemy workshop can already be seen.  At this time, Raymond suddenly felt Sophia stopped beside him.  After taking two steps forward, he stopped and turned around strangely.  "What's wrong?" Sophia lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.  Hearing Raymond's words, she raised her head: "Raymond, I want to ask you something." "What?" Raymond thought she wanted to talk about joining forces with the Sidonius sect.  Unexpectedly, Sophia gritted her teeth and said suddenly: "After you help me restore my country, will you leave me?" He didn't expect that she would suddenly talk about this topic. Raymond was surprised and confused at the same time.  Women are truly elusive creatures.  He had no choice but to ask: "Why do you ask that?" Sophia said: "Just now in the conference room, when you asked me what I thought about cooperation with the Sidonian sect. I said I trusted your decision, but you didn't  You want me to make my own judgment, which I have never done before. " "Does this mean that you don't want me to rely on your help anymore, but you want me to make my own decisions, so that you won't have to worry about it after I return to the country.  Left." Sophia actually thought of so much based on what Raymond just said.  But just seeing her worrying about gains and losses shows that she cares about Raymond very much, almost to the point of being unable to extricate herself.  Raymond was also shocked. He was about to tell Sophia that she was overthinking.  Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came to my mouth, a thought suddenly flashed in my heart: Did I really not think that?  ¡°Sofia is a smart girl, and it¡¯s hard to imagine that she would react like this because of Raymond¡¯s unintentional words.  Could it be that she was so sensitive that she really noticed something, such as a hidden meaning that Raymond himself didn't even realize?  Raymond decided to help Sophia regain her country. In addition to his sympathy for Sophia and his feelings of adversity, he also had Kailan's instructions before his death.  In other words, Raymond actually regarded this as an obligation to complete.  So, when Raymond completes this goal, he has no reason to stay with Sophia anymore, because he came to Veronica Continent precisely because he did not want to be inferior to others, so naturally he can no longer be Sophia's subject.  Raymond was probably subconsciously influenced by this idea, so he said those words in the conference room, which was keenly captured by Sophia.  So, will I really leave her?  Raymond doesn't know, at least not yet.  He was always decisive in situations, but he was unable to make a judgment in this matter.    If it is said that Sofia always thinks too much about things related to Raymond.  Then Raymond couldn't think too much about Sophia.  As far as this is concerned, the two are also considered tacit.  ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s useless to think too much, let time decide everything.  Finally, Raymond thought this.  He put his hands on Sophia's shoulders and said to her sternly: "Sofia, I can't answer what you asked me now. This is not a delay, but this is the fact." "Compared to this, we have more important things now.  Things have to be done. So stop thinking about it. When we complete your goal of restoring the country, I think both you and I will have an answer." Looking into Raymond's eyes, Sophia smiled to herself:  "I'm sorry, I think too much. Am I bothering you a lot?" Raymond smiled: "No, I am flattered to be favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess." "Honestly, I just really  I was scared." His words made Sophia chuckle, and she punched Raymond angrily: "I have been worried to death, but you are still in the mood to joke." After saying that, she also regained her composure and said, "But, yes.  I'm very happy to get such an answer from you. It means you haven't decided yet, so we still have a chance, right?" Sophia's pretty face was so close that Raymond suddenly felt an impulse.  He held Sophia in his arms and kissed her before she could react.  Sofia struggled instinctively, but then she hugged Raymond and responded enthusiastically to his deep kiss.  The two hugged each other tightly, their lips and tongues entangled in rapid breathing, greedily seeking each other's love.  At this moment, there are no mundane things, nor the former prince and the current princess. There are just two men and women who love each other, enjoying this moment of joy.  After a long time, the lips parted, and Sophia's face turned as red as a delicate peach blossom.  This was not the first time the two had kissed, but it had never been so intense and full of raw wildness.  Looking at Sophia's shy look, Raymond chuckled and said, "I think this kind of guarantee is more convincing." It's rare that Raymond smiles so playfully at her, but this is more like a lover's attitude.  .  Sofia glanced at him, but she couldn't help but laugh.  Just when the two felt that their hearts were getting closer to each other, a strange scream suddenly came from the direction of the alchemy workshop, breaking the warm tranquility.  "My dear granddaughter, show grandpa that thing again." *********************************  ********************************* Raymond and Sophia looked at each other and walked quickly towards the alchemy workshop.  Not long after I arrived outside the workshop, I saw Reed's father-in-law and Elena's grandfather, the weird old magician Hitchis, banging on the door and yelling loudly outside the workshop.  "My dear granddaughter, I am your grandpa, open the door quickly." "Go away, you are not welcome here!" Alina's angry voice came from inside.  Being scolded by his granddaughter, Hitchis was not angry at all. He just said: "Okay, okay, I won't come in, but how about you show me the thing you made recently?" Wow!  This time he didn¡¯t even answer. He just threw a clay pot from the window and hit it on the ground.  "Okay, you actually treat grandpa like this. Wait, I'll go back and tell your father and see how he disciplines you." Hitchis was like a child who lost a fight, chattering and leaving, but in response to his  It was another clay pot thrown out of the house.  When he turned around and met Raymond and Sophia, he didn't say hello and just left angrily.  Although I don¡¯t know what happened, what happened just now is a bit funny.  Raymond came outside the workshop and was about to knock on the door when he heard Alina say: "I told you not to come in, why are you still doing it?" Raymond coughed dryly: "Alina, this is Raymond  "The room was quiet for a moment, and then there was a sound of footsteps. The door of the workshop opened with a creak, and Alina appeared behind the door.  I haven¡¯t seen her for many days. I saw the little girl wearing a stained robe with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her feet were bare. Her pink face was stained with dust. Her blond hair was tied back randomly, not to mention how sloppy she was.  .  Just as Raymond was about to explain his purpose, Alina had already pulled him in and said excitedly: "Come on, I have something to show you." Secretly thinking that both his grandfather and grandson were actually weirdos, Raymond had no choice but to  He signaled to Sophia and followed Alina into the workshop.  "Close the door!" Sophia just walked in.??, Alina turned back impatiently.  She suffers from the common problem of all great researchers, that is, she does not take the powerful and powerful seriously.  Sofia shook her head in a funny way and closed the door as she was told. At this time, Alina had already dragged Raymond to the research room of the workshop.  "UhActually, my main purpose this time is" Raymond wanted to tell her that he was just here to find out whether the crystal core was completed, and was not interested in her research results.  Unexpectedly, Alina didn't give him a chance to speak at all. She opened a box and carefully took out a clay pot.  Just like a child who can't wait to show someone his favorite toy, Alina said eagerly: "Look, this is what I just made recently. It's super awesome!" She spread her hands exaggeratedly, and  It shows how powerful this thing is.  But Raymond was still not interested: "I just want to ask, Crystal" Once again, before he could finish his words, Alina opened the lid of the clay pot and grabbed a handful of red sand from it like a treasure: "Quickly  Look, look, I made it with great difficulty." "What is this?" At this time, Sophia also walked into the research room.  As soon as these words came out, Raymond said to himself that it was over. It seemed that he would not be able to ask about the status of the crystal core for a while.  Sure enough, I heard Alina say: "This is a new invention that I have finally succeeded in researching, but I haven't thought of a name yet." Raymond couldn't help but feel dizzy: "Then why are you so excited?" Sophia said curiously  "Your grandpa was outside just now, why didn't you let him in?" Alina curled her lips: "Forget it. My grandpa changed his profession from an alchemist to a magician. No matter what I do, he doesn't care.  "It's annoying to say it's not as good as magic." "But when I made this a few days ago, he accidentally saw it and it was like he had changed his last name, and he insisted on giving it to him. Huh,  I won¡¯t let him get his wish, because he always looks down on alchemy.¡± It seems that Alina doesn¡¯t want to show it to Hitch, not because she wants to keep it secret, but just out of anger.  "But this thing can actually make Hitch take it so seriously. If Raymond could understand Hitch's perverted obsession with magic, he would know how amazing this is.  However, Raymond was not interested at all. He finally caught a break in Alina's words and asked quickly: "Let's not talk about it for now, has the crystal core been completed?" Seeing that Raymond didn't care about his new invention,  Elena couldn't help but feel disappointed.  She yelled: "You said that, it has been done a long time ago." "When?" Sophia said in surprise.  No one in Headington knew anything about such an important matter.  "Just a week after you leave." Alina seemed to be talking about a trivial matter: "I improved the charging method left by the blue dragon, so I finished it quickly."  "Remember that, this is a truly epoch-making invention." As she said this, she became excited again, obviously very proud of her new invention: "I spent a lot of time to succeed." At this point, Raymond remembered.  .  When Alina was asked to follow Alina to learn how to charge crystals, she refused. It was said that she was researching some great invention. Could it be this?  But Raymond was really not very interested. When he heard that the crystal was completed, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.  She wanted to get the crystal as soon as possible, otherwise God knows what trouble she would get into.  So he said to Alina: "Can you give me the crystal first?" But Alina was completely immersed in the eagerness to show off her new invention, and she would not pay attention to his words.  She held the pot in one hand and held Raymond in the other and ran out of the workshop: "By the way, the thing I asked the dwarf craftsman to make is probably finished. Come on, let me show you." "Wait, I just want  I want the crystal" Raymond still wanted to struggle, but it couldn't stop Alina's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to follow her again.  "Hey, your shoes." Sofia suddenly discovered that Alina was still barefoot, and quickly grabbed a pair of shoes from the ground and chased her out.  ***************************************************  **************** The barefooted Alina pulled Raymond along and trotted along, followed by Sophia carrying a pair of shoes. This strange combination immediately attracted the attention of everyone along the way.  look.  Some good people followed him out of curiosity and followed him regardless.  Not long after, Alina took Raymond to the residential area of ????the Lovell people.  Since the destruction of Manas Island, the people who escaped from the island, as well as members of the Lovell Chamber of Commerce¡¯s huge merchant fleet, have all arrived in HaidingStay temporarily.  For this reason, Charlotte specially designated an area in the town for them to live, thus forming this settlement.  There are many people living here, including craftsmen, sailors, craftsmen, etc. who originally belonged to the Lovell Chamber of Commerce, including a group of dwarf craftsmen.  They originally went with the fleet to the Gordan Grassland to help the barbarians there, so they escaped.  After returning to Headington, the dwarf, who was never idle, built a blacksmith shop to make some repairs and common supplies for the residents of Headington, and to satisfy his desire for forging.  At this time, Elina pulled Raymond into the blacksmith shop and said loudly: "Ozama, have you finished what I entrusted you with?" A strong dwarf who was forging iron raised his head and saw that it was Ellie.  Na, quickly and respectfully said: "Miss Alina, it's done." "Okay, take it out quickly." Alina instructed.  Ozama and the other three dwarf craftsmen walked into the inner hall of the blacksmith shop and quickly carried something out.  At this time, many residents had gathered outside the blacksmith shop to watch the excitement. When they saw the things carried by the dwarves, everyone was in an uproar.  "Wow, what is that?" What the dwarf carried out was a huge iron pipe.  No, it is more like an iron tube than an iron pipe, because this thing is thick and long, and the inner wall is also very thick. One end is slightly thicker and the other is slightly thinner. Judging from the difficulty of the four dwarves carrying it, the weight  Very heavy.  The dwarf carried it outside the blacksmith shop, and then followed Elina's instructions and placed the iron cylinder on a wooden base with the mouth of the cylinder facing up and pointing diagonally into the air.  The onlookers automatically formed a circle around the thing and pointed at it.  At this time, even Raymond, who was dragged here, became interested: "What to do next?" "Humph, just watch, don't be shocked later." Alina was very  Confidently.  She opened the jar she was holding, took out the fine red sand, and put it into the iron cylinder.  At this time, the crowd separated, and another group of people came over, but it was Saul and his party.  Apparently Alina had caused such a big fight, and they came after hearing the news.  "Alina, what are you doing again?" Reed shouted.  He looked very unhappy. It must be that after learning about Emil's depravity, his mood became so bad that he yelled at Alina as soon as they met.  When Thor saw the iron cylinder, he was obviously stunned for a moment.  Next to him, Ron, Lisa, Jessica and others, like everyone else, looked curiously at the weird stuff that Alina had made.  At this time, Alina was completely immersed in the excitement of showing off her invention, and she didn't care about Reed's scolding.  I saw her putting some red sand into the iron tube, and then asked a dwarf to throw an iron ball into it.  Seeing this, everyone became more and more confused about what she was doing. Only Sol's brows gradually frowned.  There is a small opening at the end of the iron cylinder, with a white twine inserted inside, which seems to be soaked in oil.  Alina looked at the people around her with a proud look on her face, then picked up a torch and lit the twine.  The thread soaked in oil quickly burned and gradually burned towards the inside of the iron cylinder.  What happened next almost scared everyone present.  Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a burst of flames and thick smoke came from the mouth of the iron cylinder, followed by something that seemed to fly out of the iron cylinder.  The onlookers heard a huge roar and a strong wind blew past their faces, but they could not see anything clearly. Some people were even shaken to the ground.  Immediately afterwards, there was another loud noise, and the top of a bell tower hundreds of meters away exploded with a bang. Suddenly, rocks flew, and countless bricks and tiles flew into the air. In the rising dust, only the top of the bell tower could be seen.  A huge gap was suddenly blown open.  "Oh my god!" I heard a scream, and the people around me exploded.  The frightened people screamed and fled privately.  But you can¡¯t blame them, this thing is really terrible.  Raymond and others were calmer, but they were all stunned and did not dare to move for a long time.  Even the dwarves looked frightened and hid in the blacksmith shop.  Of all the people, only Alina was elated and very proud that her invention could achieve such results.  "Alina, thenwhat exactly is that?" Kafeir asked tremblingly.  Alina clicked her tongue and shook her finger: "Hey, that's a good question. That's a new invention that I worked out with great difficulty. Some time ago, I found some fire magic crystals in Headington's warehouse. They seemed to be from France.  "These fire magic crystals were brought from the waste mines in Lac City."The energy content is very low, and safety is a waste product.  But later I discovered that just because the magic power content is low, it is an advantage, because it is more stable and not as easy to run away as high-end products.  If you grind these magic crystals into powder and add some medicine - hehe, the formula is kept secret, you can make cheap and efficient explosives, which are also very stable and more practical than those high-purity magic crystals.  " "Then, I thought of ways to use them.  Just get such a big iron cylinder and use the impact of the powder explosion to blow out the iron balls.  The power is indeed as I expected, very powerful.  " "How about it, I can turn those waste mines into something so powerful, isn't it awesome?  "At the end of the sentence, Alina's pride was palpable. What else can everyone say about this? There are only three words to describe their feelings, and that is: [***] Exploded! Having said that, Raymond  I remembered. Charlotte had said before that in addition to producing crystals, Falak City also has another specialty, which is the fire magic crystal mine, but they are all waste mines, because the magic content of the crystals is very low.  It couldn¡¯t be sold at all, so Andrew sealed the mine and concentrated on digging crystals. Unexpectedly, some abandoned mines were found by Alina, and Raymond felt that he would never forget it.  The moment the iron cylinder sprayed fire and destroyed the bell tower, I heard Alina saying distressedly: "It's just that I haven't decided on a name for this thing yet" Before she could finish her words, a weak voice came from the side.  Come: "Of course it's called gunpowder.  " "Gunpowder?  Alina's eyes lit up: "This is a good name. Although I don't know why it is called 'Medicine', it sounds very powerful."  " "Okay, the name will decide it.  "She clapped her hands. The person who just spoke was Saul, but it was different from the panic of the crowd, the surprise of Raymond and others, or the pride of Alina. His expression was very strange, mixed with shock, shock, and disbelief  , and even complex emotions such as worry and distress, which are really abnormal. At this time, Ron pointed at the iron tube and said: "Then what is this called?  " Erina had obviously never thought about it, and couldn't help but be speechless. At this moment, Sol said feebly: "Of course it's called Cannon.  " "Hey, cannon?  Alina said in surprise: "This name is also very touching, and it sounds very strong when you hear it."  Okay, let¡¯s just call it a cannon from now on.  " "Uncle Sol, you are really good at naming names.  " At this time, everyone noticed Sol's weird appearance. Jessica pushed him gently: "What's wrong with you? Were you knocked unconscious just now?  " Thor is indeed fainted, but he is not stunned, but his mind is in chaos. Now there are only two words in his heart: God's will! When he came to this world, in order not to destroy the original system and balance here  , even in the most critical time, Thor never thought of making gunpowder to change the situation. Just when he thought that this thing would never appear in this world, only 20 years later, Alina  It was made in another form. Moreover, a cannon was invented by the way! In this regard, Thor felt that it could only be described as God¡¯s will. It seemed that the course of history was the same whether it was here or in the world he came from.  It's unstoppable. What's coming will always come, no matter what form it takes Although this thing is just taking shape and is still very rough, far from being a real cannon, Thor knows that from just now.  From the moment it exploded, the world was destined to undergo earth-shaking changes. Fortunately, the only consolation was that this change was not brought about by myself, an outsider, but by the people of this world.  Only God knows what the consequences will be. Just when Sol was filled with emotion, a soldier suddenly ran over: "Lord Raymond!  " "Okay, it's okay, it was just Alina testing her new invention.  "Thinking that the soldier came to report after seeing the bell tower destroyed, Raymond waved his hand and said. "Unexpectedly, the soldier said: "No, Lord Raymond, the people at the port asked me to inform you that a pirate ship has just entered the port."  Here comes the female pirate, Catalina.  " "She wants to see you by name.  "Katrina?" Raymond suddenly felt that today is really a day full of surprises. (To be continued.)
