Chapter 0335: The Path of the Assassin
In the arena of Fort Klegane, there is a dragon hunting crossbow.
A stable triangular bracket, a wide bed of crossbow arrows, the width of a carriage, a slot hole for crossbow arrows in the center, cowhide bands thicker than a thumb and steel wire, and a bowstring glued with silk threads. Every time he tried to fire a crossbow arrow, Gendry would blush and pull the bowstring, and it took a lot of effort to pull the bowstring and get stuck in the crossbow arrow.
The name of this huge bow and crossbow 'Dragon Hunting Crossbow' is named after the Magic Mountain. Just the mouth of the fake Jane Vest Sterling came out.
Magic Mountain is not the only designer of the perfect 'Dragon Hunting Crossbow', his knowledge of the bed crossbow is not professional and perfect, but the initial inspiration, the idea of the crossbow arrow, the first draft of the drawings and the idea of power all came from the Magic Mountain alone.
The first drawings that Jenny gave to Master Tobmot were finalized after the Magic Mountain and Jenny revised them together countless times.
Regarding the second design of the improved bed crossbow: including the gear design, the folding design of the bed crossbow board, and the folding design of the triangular bracket, these ideas, inspirations, and first drafts are still all from the Magic Mountain.
Jenny has only five shares in the talent and wisdom of the Magic Mountain, and is excited and adored for sharing many secrets of the Magic Mountain. In Jenny's mind, the magic mountain has also become charming because of her talent, and each of the other handsome and aristocratic teenagers has become shallow and immature in Janie's eyes.
After Magic Mountain led his army out of Fort Klegane, the first draft of the dragon hunting crossbow drawings that Magic Mountain and Jenny had carefully designed together were taken out by Jenny and consulted Master Thobmot.
Naturally, Master Tobmot was completely shocked by the expression of Jeanne's inspiration, and then deeply impressed by Jeanne's talent.
As a result, Master Tobmot and his apprentice Gendry enthusiastically devoted themselves to the actual production of the dragon hunting crossbow, a crossbow bolt that had never been seen before.
And maybe it was an accident, but maybe it was Jenny who deliberately designed Jenny to be in her small hall, alone, and asked Fellow Fellow very bluntly: Was Fellow Fellow sent by Duke Tywin to Fort Clegane to monitor everyone's actions?
Perhaps out of fear of the witch's prophetic powers, or perhaps out of fear of the Magic Mountain, Master Potter freely admitted that he was the man of Lord Tywin. But he swore that Duke Tywin didn't need any of his information now, because the Witch Queen was with him. And, although he was sent to Fort Clegane by Duke Tywin, he had been converted, and Magic Mountain and Jenny were his true lords, while Tywin was not.
Wherever they worked, the Bachelor had to remain loyal to his lord and could only serve the interests of his lord. In any political struggle, the Bachelor's Code stipulates that the Scholar can only remain neutral and cannot betray his lordship. This is an ancient tradition, just as the Night's Watch of the Wall of Desperation would not be involved in any of the Seven Civil Wars and political battles, and neutrality is an ancient code shared by the Night's Watch and Oldtown School, a code that has been in place for thousands of years.
Janie believed Master Potter's words, and begged Master Potter not to report the invention of the dragon hunting crossbow to Duke Tywin, nor to tell anyone but Duke Tywin about the details of the dragon hunting crossbow's research and practice.
Maester Potter agreed! and swore an oath in the name of Maester!
This was a secret conversation between Jenny and Master Potter, but for some reason, Master Tobmot knew a little bit about the content of the conversation.
Master Tobmot is completely different from Jenny, he does not believe in the character of the young master, nor does he believe in the young master's assurance, but out of respect for Madame Jeanne, Master Tobmot chooses to 'calm down'.
However, in his daily life, Master Tobmot always spoke or did things intentionally or unintentionally, and the master would use words to sarcastically mock the young master, in order to express his disgust and contempt for his 'betrayal' of the lord.
Master Potter can only accept it as it comes, and as it comes. Woohoo, unthinkable!
On the wall of Fort Krygon's farthest martial arts arena, a bullseye is painted with an iron gun stuck next to it. The iron spear almost came out of the wall, because it was so powerful that it was difficult to pull out, and it was temporarily nailed to the wall.
This two-meter-long iron spear is a crossbow arrow from the dragon hunting crossbow.
The walls of the Klegon Fort martial arts arena are made of hundreds of pounds of stones, and the iron spear through the wall is the best shooting test of the dragon hunting crossbow, this power is very amazing, and there has never been such a terrible bed crossbow in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.
In order for Master Tobmot and Gendry to modify the dragon hunting crossbow step by step and finally bring it to perfection, not that Jenny had already designed it before this, the bowstring, crossbow arrows, bed frame, and first draft drawings of the dragon hunting crossbow were all rough type.
After the rough shape was completed, Jane induced Master Tob to talk about the shortcomings and inspire inspiration, and slowly improved the model of the dragon hunting crossbow little by little.
There is no one other than Witch Queen who is more convinced of the talent and abilities of the Magic Mountain than Jenny, and there is no doubt that the Magic Mountain is a super genius, the Chosen One, the patron of the Light of the Seven Gods, just like the Green Prophet Brynden River Wen who once appeared on the continent of Westeros.
For the sake of prudence and safety, the Demon Mountain, who bears the reputation of the devil, cannot show his extraordinary talent on his own, just as it is not appropriate for a person who suddenly becomes rich to show off his wealth in front of others, which will invite jealousy and even death.
But as long as it is brought forward by someone else who has a certain reputation and talent in itself, everyone will accept it. Just as a rich man has become richer because he is good at business, it is natural for people to accept that the rich man is richer.
But if a poor guy suddenly becomes very rich and surpasses the big rich around him, then this guy will start to have big and small troubles, and even be killed because of jealousy and fear.
The human heart, jealousy and hatred go hand in hand!
Underneath the bullseye of the dragon hunting crossbow on the wall, there was a large thick oak plank with an arrow hole and a cobweb-like crack in the crossbow arrow.
This is when Jenny and Master Tobmot asked the workers to nail several layers of oak planks together to the thickness of a normal city gate, and then they made a small arrow target, wrapped in iron sheets, to increase the defense. They hung the arrow target on the wall, at the farthest distance of the martial arts field, pulled the trigger, the crossbow arrow on the arrow target test three times, the third launch, the crossbow arrow hit the arrow target, poof, in the dull sound, the iron gun penetrated the entire iron wrapped arrow target, when the iron sheet was disassembled, everyone found that the surface of the arrow target because of the fierce shooting of the iron gun torn out a spider web-like crack.
At that time, the power of the crossbow arrows was so powerful that everyone who watched it was shocked. Later, at the suggestion of Jenny, and after the improvement of Master Tob, the crossbow bolt of the test failed to shoot off the target, and the crossbow arrow was nailed deep into the stone wall, and the power was far greater than that of the oak target reinforced by the iron sheet, and everyone was stunned, and gradually calmed down from the first shock.
Master Tobmot and Gendry had an absolute talent and obsessive interest in the design and construction of machinery, the design of gears and hand cranks, they had already had successful experiences, and the design of folding through hinges, for the first time.
Watching the two 'masters' discuss the drawings and leave all the way, Mrs. Allen only admired Mrs. Jenny even more, and Bachelor Potter also complimented Mrs. for her inspiration and talent for a while.
Jenny smiled, sweet and picturesque, and the rugged and calm face of the Magic Mountain appeared in front of her eyes, 'holding a paintbrush and contemplating design'.
The design of the drawing model of the dragon hunting crossbow can only be said to be basically completed at present, in order to make the range of the crossbow arrow longer, the improvement of the part of the iron gun crossbow arrow is actually still behind.
The road must be taken step by step, and the rice must be eaten one bite at a time!
Chapter 0335-2 Path of the Assassin
Standing at the window, Magic Mountain finished reading a letter from his wife, Jenny, from Cleganeburg. The construction of the dragon hunting crossbow is progressing steadily, and the design of the first rough billet has been completed and successfully tested many times, which is extremely powerful. It is now in the second round of refinements: the folding design and the gear crank. This one is completed, which is to improve the range and crossbow arrows.
No one doubted that the name and inspiration of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow came from the Magic Mountain, and Jenny did a good job of this, and she was also very calm, improving the Dragon Hunting Crossbow little by little, and each improvement seemed to be the result of repeated thinking based on the actual situation, and not everything was designed in advance.
Jenny is both talented and good-looking, and the Magic Mountain is eager to take her with her, but Clegane needs someone to preside over and lead, and the Westerling Noodle Business and the secret construction of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow are the only best candidates.
Moshan looked up at the stars in the night sky, although his knowledge reserves all came from more than ten years of study in the earth civilization, he became more and more vague about the perception of his home world. He became more and more integrated into the world, and enjoyed the excitement of war and resourcefulness.
He knew that at this time, on the other side of the Narrow Sea, his 'enemy' Daenerys Targaryen was leading her few followers eastward, as the comet headed east, and the blood of the red flame tail was unforgettable.
Daenerys thinks that the direction of the red comet should be her direction. If they go to the Dothraki Sea, they will be completely wiped out by the first Kao they encounter (Kao: the name of the tribal leader, similar to the name of the commander).
When the husband of a Kalixi (Kalixi: Kao's wife) dies, his army disintegrates, splits into several Kao, or breaks out into civil war, or goes their separate ways. For the Dothraki of the steppe, they did not have the idea that a wife or son would inherit Kao's army after Kao's death, and the soldiers had only one principle: to follow the strong.
Since Daenerys didn't dare to go back to the grassland, let alone west, she could only go east.
The Magic Mountain thought as if he saw a ragged Dothraki marching through the red wasteland, their leader was a young girl with a dusty face and silver gold, and her three maids carried a cage made of three wooden sticks, and inside were three small dragons not much bigger than an adult's slap.
Three very greedy dragons, and like to eat cooked food, all meat, of course.
The shape of the three little dragons is somewhat similar to the lizards in the perception of the Magic Mountain.
"My lord, are you looking for me?" Arya's voice sounded behind the Magic Mountain.
Moshan turned his head and looked at Arya: "Arya, you can't stay here anymore, you have to leave." ”
"Where do I go? Go to the Green Fork River and find Luce Burton?"
As hundreds of captured Northern soldiers were incorporated into the logistics of the Magic Mountain, Arya's chances of being recognized were getting higher and higher, and she was in danger today, almost being recognized by Huttauha in the morning, almost recognized by Julie Cregan at lunchtime, Julie and Arya, who had fought in King's Landing, and at dinner, Arya was almost recognized by Erin and Robette Glover.
If Arya is recognized and her words slip a little bit, the Magic Mountain will have to hand her over and hand her over to Tywin, otherwise, the Magic Mountain will shelter Arya in Harrenhal, this risk will be too great, and it is not something that the current Magic Mountain can afford!
"Luce Bolton is not a trustworthy man, and you must not go to him. “
"Why do you say that? Have you heard anything?"
"Don't ask why, you won't believe it. ”
"I believe it!"
"Trust me and don't say either. ”
Arya's eyes widened, and the wild boy had emotions in her eyes.
"To the west, you'll crash into Lord Tywin's ranks, and you'll be caught in the net, to the south, and even more unlikely, all of them will be your enemies, and to the valley or to the north will not be appropriate. ”
"You let me go, I know where I should go?"
"Where to go?"
"I'm going back to Winterfell!"
"Do you want to kill Joffrey, Cersei, Tywin, and especially Malintlan in the future, the one who killed your dancing teacher. ”
Arya's lips immediately clenched.
"Answer me, do you want to?"
"I'll kill him, I swear!"
"Can your sword kill him?" said Demon Mountain coldly.
Arya bit her lip again.
Demon Mountain suppressed a trace of pity like a sprout in his heart: "With the way you are now, you can't kill Malintlan in your life, and you can only bully and bully guys like Repai." ”
"I'll kill him!" Arya gritted her teeth, almost shouting.
Magic Mountain took a rusty iron coin from his pocket and threw it at Arya, who reached out to catch it.
"Everyone dies! Go to Jakunhegar, learn a skill and come back, otherwise, you will never want to kill this and kill that, you can only live like a little mouse, hiding in Tibet every day, even the subordinates of your own family dare not see it. Now that the world is in turmoil, you have to make yourself stronger, Arya. ”
Arya looked at the coins in her hand, remembering that Jia Kun shook her head, and all her half-red and half-white hair turned into black curls, wiping her face, and the whole face completely turned into a stranger's face, Arya was moved: "I don't know how to go!"
"I know!"
