War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 11
…
The small tent looks a bit cramped but also has a familiar scent of burning coal and the warmth inside is something that made Xin Ja think of his days in the army.
He immediately noticed some of the designs on the ground which are a bit rough and unattractive but have a more practical use than the one in the presentation.
"You should have used those… maybe you can get someone to be interested in your presentation…" Xin Ja suddenly pointed at the gauntlets that looks like pieces of metals just bonded together hastily.
"No… I can\'t use those… they are crude. Most soldiers wanted a more sleek design, but still, I can\'t do that with my current progress…" the young man explained.
"Your name is Gun Mace… Hmm… It seems like your family is all craftsmen." Xin Ja showed a curious look at the young man after seeing his badge.
"Ah, yes… My father is a craftsman, but that was a long time ago. Now he stopped because of his weak body… I got my name because of his expertise in weapons…" the young researcher explained.
"I am Adam Summers…" Xin Ja introduced while pointing at his badge.
"I know you… I recognized you. I am really honored to be in front of the man who is training awakened on how to use protective spells… This is such an honor." Gun Mace said while smiling awkwardly.
"Umm… Thank you." Xin Ja just nods his head.
"Anyway… I\'m just here to… hire you." He blurted his purpose.
"Hire… Hire me? To… To do what?"
"I wanted you to create something for me. But of course, I will teach you first. However, there would be a contract between us before I teach you…"
Xin Ja and Gun Mace began talking about the contract first and the condition of the employment of the young engineer.
Xin Ja wanted to use the young man as a way to bolster this world\'s forces to be able to withstand the demons and the Shadow Beings. If he does this himself, then it would take more time. But if he gets his own people, then it would not bother him that much.
Soon, he began teaching Gun Mace about nodes and arrays that he could use to improve his own design.
It took Gun Mace 2 days to be able to understand the basics of the arrays. If he is a normal person, then it would take him years before he could understand such a concept. But as an E-Rank awakened being, not only did it awaken his abilities but also his capacity to learn and gain knowledge.
And in just 2 days of reading and learning, Gun Mace was able to understand the basics of rune carving. But that is only the theory part of the course. He would have to work hard in applying the knowledge to work before he could consider himself an artificer.
Xin Ja did not only teach the basics of rune equipment array to Gun Mace, but he also found 3 more people and taught them the same thing.
And so, now it has been 3 days since then, and he is sitting calmly in a laboratory assigned to him by Dr. Amy Vale. The laboratory is just big but enough for him and the 4 people with him.
Bang!
Xin Ja was suddenly startled when he heard the explosion coming from the testing area.
When he shifted his gaze in that direction, he could not help but shake his head.
Those people inside showed an awkward expression toward him as they forgot to activate the array inside the testing area.
He did not lash at them but just shake his head and then put the document on the table.
He carefully stretches his hands and then cracks his neck as he stood up and walked toward his production table.
On the table sits a strange machine inside a large box.
Xin Ja has already finished the parts of the machine and he is now assembling them one by one.
An hour later…
He cleaned his hands and looks at the finished product.
Behind him, a few eyes are looking at the machine he just made curiously.
"Master Xin… What does this thing do?" suddenly Gun Mace asked with a glowing curious pair of eyes.
Xin Ja showed a mysterious smile and then sits back at his table. He carefully takes out a strange flat crystal and then taps on its surface.
Those watching him showed an amazed expression on their faces.
"How… How is this done…?" one of them asked in excitement and curiosity.
Xin Ja showed a faint smile but did not reply.
But instead of explaining, he began by talking while he acts.
"This capacitive screen is from a crystal known as…" he began explaining.
"The purpose of this is for…"
"The rune etched on this is called…"
He explained while he work and soon, he was able to design a CAW. He did not create the Military CAW or MCAW because that has a lot of firepowers. He just wanted to test out his creation first.
"Now after designing and making sure that everything is complete digitally, you can now render it into its physical form…" he said as he pointed at the box sitting atop his worktable.
He stood up and then chose some ores and materials sitting on the corner and began feeding them at the back of the machine.
It did not take long before the machine began to work and the design is slowly printed piece by piece.
The four people in the room have their eyes wide open when seeing what is happening in front of them.
"This… This is amazing… With this, we can create anything we wanted. This is like… like magic." one of them exclaimed.
"Haha… Yes, it is… But as I told you guys. Master your basic first, then I will give you guys a chance to use this contraption…" Xin Ja said with a smile.
It did not take long for him to assemble the CAW and then walked to the testing area.
In the testing area, there is a dummy wearing metal armor sitting on the target range. The metal armor is composed of a hard outer skin of a demon. So it is very sturdy and strong.
Ptaff!!!
The muffled sound of compressed Ki coming from the CAW echoed inside and the bolt came flying out of the muzzle.
The speed and velocity of the bolt are almost invisible to the naked eye as it flew towards the dummy with armor.
Crang!!!
p
He did not expect that the normal CAW that he made was able to destroy the armored dummy.
"What the hell… That dummy with its armor is supposed to be as strong as a C-Rank awakened, right? How was it destroyed by a single shot?" Gun Mace asked in amazement.
This scene made the 4 people inside the research room become enthralled by the prospect of learning such a powerful weapon.
After the presentation, Xin Ja walked out of the research room and headed in the direction of Cohan Vale\'s office.
Inside the room, Cohan Vale and his sister are in a meeting with another army higher-up.
When Xin Ja was called to enter, he was a bit surprised to see an old man sitting calmly behind Cohan Vale\'s table.
"Adam, this is General Grain… He is our Brigade Commander…" Cohan Vale introduces.
Xin Ja nodded his head and saluted at General Grain.
"Adam Summers… I\'ve heard many good things about you… So far, the soldiers that have been trained in just no more than a week have shown great results on the battlefront." The old man said with a smile.
"Thank you for being of help to the army…" the old general said without being too courteous or overbearing.
"It is my wish, General…" Xin Ja replied while saluting.
"By the way… I heard that you wanted to see me on something…" Cohan reminded.
Xin Ja nodded but looks at General Grain and a hint of hesitation is in his eyes.
Sensing his hesitation, Cohan Vale lifted his hand and gestured for Xin Ja to be calm.
"General Grain is our benefactor. He is the one supporting our budget and all…" Cohan said with a chuckle.
Xin Ja nodded his head and then takes out the arm-sized weapon and puts it on the table.
"This… Is this that weapon that you gave the soldiers back then… MCAW, right?"
Xin Ja shook his head.
"This one is the basic and a smaller version of the bulky MCAW… this is CAW. But the test so far is more than I expected." Xin Ja explained what has happened in the testing room.
Upon hearing the power of the weapon, the expression of General Grain and the rest inside the room turned into elation.
With such a weapon, the soldiers would not worry about demons below the C-Rank. If they can arm each soldier with such a weapon, then they would not fear those demons anymore.
