Chapter 9: Arquebus
Lucen carefully poured the gunpowder he had created into the wooden powder horn he had prepared earlier.
"Now that I have this, we can finally use the Arquebus." Once he filled the powder horn to the brim, Lucen gave a satisfied nod.
"Oh, using the horn of some animal as storage, that’s interesting."
"Not quite," Lucen shrugged. "It’s made of wood, I just shaped it like a tusk."
"I see... So are we going to test out that weapon you created?" Robert asked, his voice beaming with excitement.
"Yes, but before that, I need to call a few people to watch the demonstration of this new weapon."
’This is going to be the first step to rewriting the fate of Stellhart.’

In the training ground Lucen uses, a training dummy wearing armor was set at a distance. Lucen’s father and the lord of the city, Duke Vardon Thornehart, came to watch the demonstration of his son’s creation. Behind Vardon was the head butler and former knight, Vahn Vaern.
Standing beside Vahn was the current Knight Commander, a man whose body was built for battle; his body was like a palace of muscle. He was Sir Thalos Stonemaul.
The Alchemist of the Yellow Mage Tower, Robert Duskwell, was also present, standing near Lucen, not wanting to miss a thing.
