#18 - The grenade is invented

“……”

Davis couldn't help but roll his eyes upon hearing this. It was clear that Lou Gao was praising him, but why did these words sound so uncomfortable!

But he still asked, "Master Lou Gao, I wonder if you can manufacture the hand grenades from the drawings?"

"Hmph!"

Lou Gao laughed proudly, "Your Highness, First Prince, you underestimate this old man too much. These so-called hand grenades, not to mention this old man, even my two apprentices can produce them, but the prerequisite is that we have sufficient black powder."

"Of course, that's not a problem. I will provide the black powder." After saying that, he took out ten pounds of jet-black black powder from his soul guiding ring.

Davis also mixed a little white sugar into the black powder as a combustion improver to increase the power of the black powder.

However, before adding the white sugar, Davis used a special dye to dye the white sugar black, making it look almost the same as black powder.

This was also a last resort. To this world, black powder plus white sugar is simply comparable to a nuclear weapon.

It's not to say it can kill a Titled Douluo, but with a certain dosage, killing a few Soul Emperors or Soul Sages is not a problem.

In order to prevent anyone from using black powder for wrongdoing, Davis had to do a good job of "patent protection."

In short, the secret recipe of "one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, three parts charcoal, add some white sugar for a big Ivan" can only be in his hands, otherwise, if black powder becomes rampant, who knows, one day a cannonball might fly over and kill him.

Right now, he is just a small Soul Ancestor. If he is not careful, even hidden weapons like the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the Yama's Invitation might injure him, let alone powerful cannonballs.

At least before unifying the Douluo Continent, Davis does not intend to teach the formula of black powder to others.

Seeing the black powder, Lou Gao's eyes lit up. He carefully held it in his palm, afraid it would melt. Then, he looked at Davis and smiled: "Your Highness, First Prince, please stay in Gengxin City for a while.

With this black powder, I believe it won't be long before this old man figures out how to make these hand grenades."

"Haha, if that's the case, then thank you, Master Lou Gao." Davis bowed and thanked him. After saying that, he instructed Li Hu: "Uncle Li, let's go, don't disturb Master Lou Gao and the two masters."

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two left the forging room. After they left, Lou Gao and Si Long and Si Yu began forging in a hurry.

A person lives a lifetime not just to eat steamed buns, but to fight for honor! If they can really create a weapon that can kill Soul Sages and Soul Douluo, the three of them will definitely be remembered in history. Why not do it?

……

The soul masters with beast souls are different. Davis's Evil Eye White Tiger is a beast soul. After performing soul fusion, his strength, speed, and resistance to attacks have been greatly improved. The hidden weapons that Tang San tinkered with might not be able to hurt him.

"Your Highness, if Master Lou Gao can really manufacture hand grenades, then you will have made a great contribution to the Star Luo Empire. The position of Crown Prince will definitely be yours!"

Li Hu said respectfully. When a man achieves the Dao, all his pets ascend to heaven. If Davis becomes the Crown Prince, then as the steward of the Crown Prince's mansion, his status will inevitably rise!

Thinking of the good days in the future, Li Hu's heart was full of hope, and his deep eyes seemed to be glowing.

"Hmph, what is the position of Crown Prince? It's just something in my pocket. What I really want is this world. Under the whole sky, there is no land that is not the king's; within the four seas, there are no people who are not the king's subjects; I want to lead the Star Luo Empire and bring the world into my pocket!"

After hearing Davis's words, Li Hu was secretly shocked, but he hurriedly flattered him.

"Your Highness is indeed a man who does great things. Since Your Highness has this ambition, this old servant is willing to follow you at all times and contribute a meager effort to your grand plan!"

"Hehe, Uncle Li, I am very happy that you can think this way, but your current strength is still too weak. You must also cultivate well. I look forward to the day you become a Soul Douluo."

"Yes, Your Highness. This old servant will definitely practice diligently after returning and will never disappoint Your Highness."

After speaking, the two continued to look for a hotel on the street. After finally finding one, Davis checked in and sat cross-legged on the soft bed, running his meditation method to consolidate his realm.

Now, there are less than five years before the Soul Master Competition. In five years, even if Davis does not take immortal herbs, he is absolutely confident that he can break through level 50!

If his soul power can break through level 50, coupled with Zhu Zhuyun, even if it is Hu Liena and the other three of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, they will have a chance to fight.

In the following days, Davis entered a state of hard cultivation. He was simply a cultivation maniac. Basically, he spent every day meditating and cultivating except for eating, and the soul power in his body was also rising steadily.

Just like that, ten days passed quietly.

On this day, while Davis was still meditating and cultivating, Lou Gao sent someone to ask him to go to the Blacksmith Association immediately.

Davis was overjoyed, knowing that Lou Gao must have produced the hand grenade.

He quickly stopped cultivating, called out to Li Hu, and couldn't wait to go to the Blacksmith Association. He really wanted to know what kind of power the hand grenade of this world had.

In just over ten minutes, Davis appeared on the fifth floor of the Blacksmith Association and met Lou Gao.

At this time, Lou Gao was dirty all over, with two big dark circles under his eyes. Obviously, he had been busy for several days and hadn't slept.

However, even so, there was no trace of fatigue on Lou Gao's face. On the contrary, he could not hide the excitement in his heart. When he saw Davis arrive, he danced with joy.

"Hahaha, it's done! It's done!"

"This old man has succeeded! This old man has succeeded! Now I want to see who dares to underestimate us blacksmiths! Hahahaha!"

Lou Gao was so excited that tears filled his eyes, as if he saw the rise of the blacksmith profession. After a long time, he calmed down and smiled at Davis:

"Your Highness, First Prince, thank you for your guidance. After many days, this old man has finally figured out how to make this hand grenade. Please take a look!"

After saying that, Lou Gao took out five hand grenades and placed them neatly in front of Davis.
