"Kadozer, I don't want my relationship with all the five-colored dragons to be affected because of my conflict with the dragon queen, I know that there are many five-colored dragons who are only pan-faith and shallow belief in the mother of evil dragons, and they are not my enemies."

Caesar lowered his huge head, stood in front of the ancient red dragon Cardozer, looked into the other party's eyes, and said sincerely: "The Blackwing Empire needs more strength, I hope that the five-colored dragon will join here to establish the Dragonthroat Clan, and the leaders of the clan will be my brothers - and you will also have a share." ”

The prison in which Cadoze lived looked like a bedroom, with soft dots on all four walls, and the captive red dragon was not shackled or chained, nor was he subjected to any abuse.

At this time, the corner where the red dragon was squatting was even full of shiny gold coins.

As a prisoner, Caesar was not insincere in his treatment of Cardozer, and before his injuries had fully healed, he appeared in front of the red dragon and persuaded it to serve him.

The power of the ancient red dragon and its position in the five-colored dragon are worthy of Caesar's attention, and at the same time, he knows very well that Cardoze has no way out, since the last battle, Cardoze has betrayed himself and surrendered to Tiamat, this possibility is very small,

"What do you want me to do?"

Cardozer swallowed a mouthful of fat, the red dragon's appetite was also not small, and he said vaguely: "The five-colored dragons are scattered all over Eladia, and without the oracle of the Mother of Evil Dragons, it is difficult to gather them, and it is too inefficient to search them one by one. ”

"It's okay, I'm sure there will be some real dragons coming up one after another, and you just need to be prepared."

Caesar restrained his smile, put his claws on the shoulder blades of the red dragon, and patted it gently: "Later, my spellcaster team will come over and help you strip the influence of the Mother of Dragons rooted in your body, you have to cooperate." ”

After saying that, the black dragon didn't look at the scruple and hesitant expression on Cadozer's face, and turned around and crawled out of the prison.

Since the end of the chaos in the Northland, almost half a month has passed, in fact, at the beginning of the war, Caesar did not exaggerate the threat of the enemy in the empire, but when the war really began, the Northland people really saw how terrible the enemy of the Black Dragon Emperor was, if there was no Blackwing Clan to block the five-colored dragons, these swarming dragons would bring disastrous consequences to the newly prosperous Northland.

However, even so, the war still affected the Northlands to a greater or lesser extent, at the junction between the Blackwing Empire and the outside world, where the dragons were raging and almost leveled the Ridge of Despair, and the trade routes that had been opened up with great difficulty before also ceased to exist due to constant fighting.

Post-war reconstruction was in full swing, and Caesar had learned the lessons of the previous time and strengthened his control over the surrounding area.

Outside the door, the leader of the gnolls, Hogg, was waiting silently, and as soon as the Black Dragon Emperor came out, Hogg immediately greeted him, and his tone was a little urgent: "Your Majesty, there was an explosion at the Weapons Research Institute." ”

The Weapons Research Institute is where Caesar is specially assigned to the Red Lotus Goblins, and the goal that these little guys need to tackle recently is to improve gunpowder research, and Caesar is well aware that although black powder is a very pioneering invention, it is actually still lagging behind the conventional magic power of this era.

Therefore, after making the black powder, the Evil Dragon Emperor only asked the arsenal to manufacture fifty twenty-four-pounder cannons and then stopped production, putting this matter aside for the time being, and letting the Red Lotus Goblins continue to develop research on highly destructive weapons.

So these goblins were able to explode the pot, "goblin technology, shocking" The phrase "goblin technology, shocking people" does make sense from nowhere, after getting the support of the royal court and radiation evolution, the enthusiasm of these guys is like a madman, and the strong vitality can make these guys crazy on the verge of death.

Therefore, the successive explosions that had occurred before this were not insignificant, but this time it reached the point where Hogg presented it to Caesar with a serious face, and it seemed that something really went wrong.

In Hogg's report, half of the magically blessed weapons research institute was blown up, and more than thirty red lotus goblins were directly blown up and died on the spot.

When Caesar descended on the Arms Institute, he found that the damage was worse than Hogg had reported to him, with several experimental rooms completely destroyed, a load-bearing column collapsed, and windows shattered to slag.

There was black blood all over the ground, stretching all the way into the laboratory, presumably left behind when the rescued Red Lotus Goblin was dragged out of the laboratory.

"It's like being attacked by a troll."

Hogg scanned the surroundings, the gnoll's sense of smell was very sensitive: "There is also a bad smell. ”

"Nitrogen dioxide."

Caesar sniffed and whispered. This is a pungent poisonous gas, but the Blackwing Clan is a poisonous monster, and the possibility of poisoning is not very large, so there is no need to deal with it.

He brushed aside the debris at his feet and began to walk inside, and as he reached the edge of the institute, something in the ruins caught Caesar's attention, and he used his tail paws to retrieve the obtrusive-looking jar, only to realize that it was the liquor sold in the royal city—and it had been drunk.

These goblins actually drank while they were doing dangerous goods research - damn it.

"Ha, we made it! We did it. ”

A red lotus goblin appeared in Caesar's eyes, and after seeing the black dragon, he rushed over to this side excitedly, and then was grabbed by Hogg, carried it in his hand, and kept twisting his body: "Your Majesty, we have succeeded!" ”

Caesar lowered his head and looked at it with a frown: "What's going on?" You scum, you guys, actually brought wine into the institute? ”

"It's wine, it's wine! We made it, and the key is wine! ”

The goblin was still excited, and then he was spit on his face by the black dragon's frost breath, shivering from the cold, and after a shiver, he finally calmed down completely.

"Your Majesty, what you asked us to study, we have made!"

“…… Thunder mercury? ”

"This is the name you gave it, Your Majesty." The goblin said tremblingly, although it was very cold, but his tone was still slightly excited when he talked about this stubble: "According to the inspiration you gave us, we tried more than three hundred alchemy formulas, but it was still difficult to succeed, and then a guy went to the lizardman to steal some wine to drink, and we remembered that wine is also an alchemy material, so we used it as one of the raw materials for a new alchemy test, and the result was successful!" ”

"We got what you said - a gray crystal or powder, and just as we were about to actually have it, it exploded."

Is it?

Caesar thought that he didn't know how to make mercury thunderate, but he just asked the Red Lotus goblins to experiment with excess nitric acid and mercury until they reached the gray needle-like crystals, but he didn't expect that the key to the problem was wine, that is, ethanol.

I need more and more professional alchemists, Caesar thought, raising his chin and complimenting, "Well done, you have succeeded." ”

The birth of mercury thunderate gave an eyebrow to the impact primer of the fixed bullet, which is simply the germ of the firearm.
