The next morning.

Mr. Stork delivered the raw materials for gunpowder as promised, packed in a wooden box with three fist-sized glass bottles with slim necks and fat bellies.

Containing saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal respectively.

Mixing these three in a certain proportion can turn into "black powder".

But Gilan does not want to make black powder, but to refine Sabbatai's unique alchemy "Green Gunpowder".

Both its explosive power and flame temperature are much higher than ordinary gunpowder, and it has mysterious power.

Gilan is sitting at the window table in room "301".

He first poured out the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, then put them one by one into the "abrasive disc" and ground them all into powder with a small glass pestle. This equipment was recently brought back from the underground secret room of the scrap station by Mr. Stork, and he temporarily borrowed it.

Wait until this step is completed.

Gilan non-stop took out "tin sulfur", "furnace green" and "Spirit Mystic Dust" from the dimensional space, and once again ground the first two mysterious materials into powder.

Finally, the three mysterious main ingredients are mixed, and then mixed with black powder.

Since it was his first time doing it, he was extremely careful during the process.

The formula also clearly states that you need to be careful when mixing. If you accidentally sprinkle too much or too little, it is very likely to cause an explosion.

After a while.

'It's done!'

Gilan wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the three fat-bellied bottles in front of him filled with black and green powder, and showed a satisfied smile.

"Green Gunpowder" is not a very complicated alchemical product, it can even be said to be quite simple. But after all, it is the first time to operate Gilan, so it is inevitable to be happy when you see the results.

These three bottles of Green Gunpowder are placed quietly on the table.

Invisibly and spontaneously radiates a mysterious magnetic field.

Gilan reached out and approached, Gnosis was immediately touched... and the Kingdom deep in his heart, the Cross-Sword Bonfire also swayed gently.

This undoubtedly declares the success of this "alchemy".

He immediately picked up a gunpowder bottle, and "Iridescence" triggered a skewed colored entry:

"Green Gunpowder. is made from a mixture of 'tin-sulfur', 'Spirit Mystic Dust' and 'furnace green'. This gunpowder will produce a green flame after burning, which is incredibly powerful, extremely hot and lethal to spiritual bodies."

Gilan uncorked the wooden bottle, sprinkled a tiny amount the size of a fingernail into the glass dish, and then lit it with a stick of Matchstick.

Bear!!

I saw a group of green flames rising instantly, almost reaching the ceiling.

Gilan had already reacted very quickly to dodge backwards as soon as the flames were generated. But even so, the intense high temperature still burned away a strand of his blond hair in the blink of an eye.

The air in the room, after being roasted by this fire, became extremely hot, as if all the moisture had been dried out.

Gilan's retina is only a faint green color.

When the green fire gradually shrank and concentrated to the size of a fist, it was never extinguished and kept burning in the glass vessel.

Gilan looked closely and found that the green fire was completely extinguished after a few minutes.

As for the glass dish, it had turned into a pool of softened crystals emitting green smoke. The entire wooden table also left traces of scorch.

"This power..."

Gilan was speechless.

This is just a tiny amount.

If we follow the recipe and use 1 "ink" unit, which is about 0.6 ounces and 1/5 the amount of gunpowder bottle, I really don't know what the effect will be.

He took a deep breath, took out Cane of Justice, unlocked it into the form of a staff and hammer, poured 1 ink of Green Gunpowder into the bin at the end of the hammer head, and then restored the staff to its original shape.

Then, the mess was picked up.

After everything was settled, Gilan dragged out a large leather box from the corner.

This was prepared for him by Mr. Stork. It also contained many supplies, including canned food, kettles, maps and other miscellaneous items, all necessities he would need on his escape journey.

Gilan is grateful.

He quickly put the clothes, shoes and hats in the room into the box.

Finally.

Put the big suitcase next to the door, take out your wallet, and check it out.

Inside were stored 345 Caesar banknotes, fake IDs and train tickets for this evening's departure.

After putting away his wallet, he looked back at the clean and tidy room he had tidied up, and a softness flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he put on his felt hat and pushed out the door without looking back.

"Louis Family, it's time for you to pay off your debt."

Gilan's eyes are drooped and his eyes cannot be seen clearly.

Horst Second Avenue, No. 18, Louis Apartments.

"My father has become much older recently."

In the living room, the fourth son Kane was playing with the cups a little uneasily, looking at his brother, sister and sister.

"My hair is graying and my body is not as good as before."

"Say less, Kane." Brother Pa warned in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Kane lowered his head.

But the other two sisters, Beatty and Cecil, looked at each other with worries on their faces.

My father has indeed aged a lot recently, and his walk is no longer as straight as before, but his waist has become rickety.

The most important point is that my father's temper has become increasingly gloomy and irritable. If he doesn't go his way at all, he will beat and scold his servants, even his children, which makes them live in fear during this period.

"Mostly because of Oak Gang, and..."

Beatty opened his mouth, but stopped talking halfway through.

But even before she finished speaking, the other brothers and sisters knew what she meant.

Oak Gang lost two bosses one after another, and then experienced "Well Killer" and "plague", and they just dispersed.

The father's plan to secretly search for his ancestor's inheritance was foiled.

But greater bad news followed.

The underground secret room of ancestor Seclusion has been found!

But it was taken away first!

The father sent his henchmen to hunt down the woman, but there was no news at all!

On the other hand, Louis Family also failed to complete what he promised to Mr. Charles, a distinguished guest in the capital. The low-level boy named Gilan·Iros has still been missing.

Click.

The study door upstairs opened, and my father's deep voice came faintly:

"Mr. Charles, I'm really sorry that I couldn't complete what you asked me to do."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Layton, you have tried your best... and I can see all your hard work, alas, forget it."

"Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"

"No, I'll leave today."

Mr. Charles's voice sounded a little anxious.

"Mr. Layton, if you believe me, you should leave Black City as soon as possible."

"Huh? Mr. Charles?"

"The war has begun!"

Mr. Charles's voice was lowered.

"The family sent me a secret telegram, urgently recalling me... at the latest a week, no, even within these few days, Federation's army is very likely to invade Great Forest Region!"

"How is this possible?!"

Layton·Louis looked in disbelief.

One of his eyes was bandaged with gauze, and his single eye showed shock.

Even the four direct descendants of the Louis Family who overheard the conversation in the living room downstairs had expressions of surprise and panic on their faces.

"The empire's spies planted in Federation have received important information. The Federation military has developed a terrifying new weapon, specifically targeting the 'Steel Wall Fortress Plan' built under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief 'Rich Mesa'... The defenses that stretch for more than 400 kilometers may not be able to stop Federation's offensive!"

"Damn it!"

Layton looks ugly.

He and Mr. Charles slowly walked downstairs.

Just when Layton was full of thoughts, wondering how to place Louis Family next and where to evacuate.

"Dad."

The voice of my daughter Beatty came.

Layton's thoughts were disrupted and he frowned. Just as he was about to scold his second daughter, he felt a pain in his chest.

Looking up, Layton was stunned.

I saw Beatty with a ferocious face, holding a table knife, and stabbed it into his chest.

Not only that, behind Beatty, the eldest son Pa, the fourth son Kane and the fifth daughter Cecil all showed twisted expressions of hatred, stared, and rushed towards him with kitchen knives and fruit knives.

"You immortal thing! It will only make us angry!"

"I've had enough of you, damn old man!"

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!!"

"Kill you! I am the person in charge of the Louis Family!"

The children shouted angrily.

Layton·Louis' old face was stunned.

Mr. Charles on the side was also stunned on the spot, shocked by the absurd scene in front of him.

Thanks to "I wish I could sleep for a long time without waking up" and "Where the breeze flows" for the 5,000 point reward!

Thanks to "ZhuoZhigg" for the 2000 point reward!

Thanks to "Lengthen the Night" and "Snowy Night Knife Man" for the 1,500 point reward!

Thank you for the 500 point reward of "Maple Roll Yu Nian", "Wittwood", and "Far Fire Roasted Rice Cake"!

Thanks to Mengfang Xiaowu Zhongcun, Kopcn, Dabaibaiquan, Xie Shuiyu, Jue Tianmo, and Eel Laofan for the rewards!
