Lady Margaret paused her grape-snipping at the words and handed the scissors to a servant before stepping back into the house and asking, "What happened?"
The butler bowed his head and replied, "A man nad Lu Heng from Da Xia attacked the Thas Base. Modred went after him and was killed."
"Da Xia people?" Lady Margaret's expression remained neutral, evidently not particularly concerned about the ntion of "Da Xia."
"Yes, based on the information we received, it was because the Round Table Knights assassinated a Quenching Master in Da Xia that angered this person, leading to the incident. After killing Modred, he left a ssage, warning us not to reach into Da Xia," the butler reported everything he knew.
Lady Margaret accepted a cup from a servant, sipped the crimson liquid inside, and asked, "What did the other Round Table Knights say?"
The butler paused for a mont before answering, "The other Round Table Knights plan to temporarily halt actions against the Quenching Masters of Da Xia until they find a way to overco this resistance."
Lady Margaret glanced at the butler and declared, "The Quenching Furnace has been acquired, and the funds have been invested. Now they say to stop just like that, what use is there in maintaining these Round Table Knights?"
The butler bowed his head and responded, "I understand. I will inform the Round Table Knights to resolve the issue."
Lady Margaret waved her hand, dismissing the butler and added, "In the future, such trivial matters need not disturb . We maintain rcenaries to solve problems, not create them."
"Understood," the butler nodded, retreating.
...
In Coastal City, Da Xia.
It was only after Lu Heng and his companions returned ho that they had a mont to examine the gains from their journey to the Lion Heart Empire.
In fact, Lin Zeyu had been overjoyed on the way back.
Once ho, he imdiately took out and boasted, "I thought the Ghost Sniper of the Round Table Knights was incredibly strong, capable of hitting targets at three thousand ters—it turns out it's all about the sniper rifle. Check out this sniper rifle; the specs are incredible."
Lu Heng had already heard him ntion it a few tis on their way back.
However, it hadn't been convenient to examine the sniper rifle on the airplane.
As soon as Lin Zeyu brought out the sniper rifle, Lu Heng instantly recognized what it was.
It was an Electromagnetic Accelerated Sniper Rifle, utilizing both gunpowder and electromagnetic injection for acceleration, resulting in extrely high Initial Velocity.
[Electromagnetic Acceleration Sniper Rifle Z-100 ( 9)]
[Item Level: A-Level]
[Specifications: Length 132 cm, Weight 5.3 kg, Magazine Capacity 20 rounds]
[Attribute: 1025 Attack Power (Attack Power decreases with bullet flight distance, 50% decay over 1000 ters)]
[Initial Velocity: 1521 ters/second]
[Evaluation: This sniper rifle, manufactured with both gunpowder kinetic energy and electromagnetic acceleration technologies, possesses very high accuracy and destructive power. The weapon's attack power is determined by the gun's body and bullet, and cannot receive an additional bonus from the user's Strength Attribute.]
Lu Heng smiled as the data matched his expectations.
This type of sniper rifle represented a product combining gunpowder kinetic weaponry and electromagnetic kinetic weaponry, possessing very strong attack power.
Compared to a Gauss Sniper Rifle, this electromagnetic acceleration sniper rifle fired faster and combined the features of both gunpowder and electromagnetic kinetic weapons.
This sniper rifle represented a transitional product in the evolution of sniper rifle technology.
According to the developnt trends in the Cyber World, sniper rifles would gradually transition to electromagnetic kinetic sniper rifles, but during the interim phase where the technology was still not mature, transitional products like this could utilize electromagnetic acceleration technology in sniper rifles.
The Initial Velocity of this sniper rifle's bullet could reach an astonishing 1521 ters/second, aning, if one ignores the speed decrease after the bullet leaves the barrel, a distance of 3000 ters would only take two seconds to strike.
That firing speed was terrifying just to think about.
The speed of sound is 340 ters/second; the bullet from this electromagnetic accelerated sniper rifle is nearly five tis the speed of sound.
By the ti you hear the sound of the rifle, the target would already be dead.
Of course, even with this weapon, hitting a target at 3000 ters is not easy.
Other skills and Class Abilities are also necessary.
Now, with the Electromagnetic Accelerated Sniper Rifle providing enough Initial Velocity to hit a target at a distance of 3000 ters, the question was whether the sniper had the necessary accuracy.
Since Lin Zeyu's rise from the Abyss Descent, he had followed a line of enhancing weaponry, and his Initial Talent was still "Precise Shooting," giving him a much higher hit rate with sniper rifles than other Superpower Users.
Therefore, with this rifle, he could achieve a range of 3000 ters, and his accuracy could even possibly surpass that of Ghost Sniper Harris Bob.
"How about that? The attack power breaks a thousand; that's one shot, one small friend," Lin Zeyu said as he caressed the outer casing of the sniper rifle, his eyes gleaming.
The only issue was that this sniper rifle had not yet undergone Spirit Injection.
Spirit Injection is a higher technique compared to Quenching, and low-level Quenching Masters have a very low success rate with Spirit Injections.
Moreover, the Round Table Knight rcenary Organization hadn't possessed this sniper rifle for long, so they hadn't found suitable Spiritual Injection Materials.
Harris Bob's position within the Round Table Knight rcenary Organization couldn't compare to soone like Modred, so he hadn't had a chance to perform a Spirit Injection on the sniper rifle yet.
Looking at the sniper rifle's data, Lin Zeyu asked, "Can this be spirit-injected yet? It doesn't have any Spirit Injection Effects."
Lu Heng nodded and replied, "It can."
