Chapter 237:
When Brother Loyalty heard Lord Murphy’s words, his heart immediately began to pound with excitement.
He felt that he might have triggered the legendary “Hidden Quest”, but this quest didn’t appear immediately. Instead, Murphy, like a real NPC, first started chatting with Brother Loyalty about “history”.
He looked at the gray-black gunpowder powder that Brother Loyalty had processed twice, and extended his finger to rub some between his fingers.
The characteristic smell of gunpowder made him twitch his nose.
“I just heard your doubts outside, about the dwarves and halflings’ lack of progress in gunpowder craftsmanship. Your assertion is incorrect, my warrior. They haven’t given up on researching this art of war, it’s just that you come from another world and aren’t familiar with our history here.”
Murphy shook his head and said to the wide-eyed Brother Loyalty:
“The halflings not only haven’t stopped researching gunpowder, but they actually came up with upgraded excellent products shortly after the dwarven firearms appeared.
According to my shallow knowledge of history, I can tell you with certainty that in the year 430 of the calendar, during the large-scale mineral exploration operation carried out by the dwarves on the outskirts of the Dark Mountain range, their prospectors accidentally found some magical minerals.
It was the appearance of those minerals that completely changed the history of halflings and dwarves on this continent.
