Chapter 230: The Art of Exploding
After the winter, Dalaran is not as deserted as in previous years.
The atmosphere of war with the tribes has long since infected the city, making it very busy in the dead of winter......
Although most of the wizards in this magical city are not "non-combat", this does not prevent them from starting to conduct academic research and discussion on tribal warfare!
For example, one of the sculptors offered to send several powerful sorcerers behind enemy lines to blow up the megalithic dam of Lok Mordan Central Lok Lok Lake, causing the lake to flood into a torrent and flood the tribal camp there.
However, the plan was rejected due to strong opposition from several dwarven mages.
Several other enchanted wizards who study orc language have pointed out that they want to capture as many orcs alive as possible so that they can be tortured to find out more about their organization, habits, and personalities......
However, this is also difficult to do, and under the influence of demonic blood, the bloodthirsty orcs will fight to the last second in almost every battle, rather than being captured.
Another brown-robed prophetic mage emphasized that he had seen the future, and that the Horde would not be an opponent of the Alliance at all, so he hoped that all the citizens of Dalaran would unite and strengthen their courage and determination to confront the Horde.
Of course, without his "prophecy", the wizards of Dalaran did the same.
……
The vast majority of them are studies that don't have much value; However, the spirit of hard work and fearlessness is still worthy of recognition.
After a few days of flying, Karin, Kel'thugad, and Khadgar arrived in Dalaran.
They first went to Violet Castle......
Archmage Antonidas's expression was a little tired from his busyness, and it seemed that he was also emaciated by the invasion of the tribes; However, when he saw the return of the three students, his face was still very happy.
"I heard that you crushed the Horde's assault on Silvermoon City, Karin!" Antonidas stroked his beard and said, "I'm proud of you......"
"As for your ......" Then the archmage turned his gaze to Khadgar on the other side, and his face sank: "You still have the face to come back!" ”
Khadgar smiled wryly, "Actually...... Some time ago, I also helped Carlin a lot! ”
"That's right!" Carlin also said, helping Khadgar to say a few kind words: "Khadgar has actually matured a lot during this time, and has really helped me a lot......"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Khadgar nodded his head as well.
"Humph!" Antonidas snorted coldly: "Forget it, I don't know him yet, my kid...... Khadgar, for the rest of the time, you must leave me in Dalaran, and I am not allowed to go anywhere! ”
As he spoke, Antonidas raised his staff...... A powerful prohibition suddenly loomed over Khadgar......
"Ahh Khadgar opened his mouth wide and touched his bald head: "Don't! ”
"Haha." Carlin patted Khadgar on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I can't help it, brother...... Stay here, the castle does need to be looked after...... Meditate hard, study hard, and maybe when I come back, you'll be the eighth ring and become a councilor! ”
Khadgar: "......"
Carlin understood what Antonidas meant, and because the invasion of the tribe would be dangerous to the outside world, Khadgar had always been too naughty and not very "reliable", so he simply left him in Violet Castle and waited for the war to end...... After all, this is Dalaran, and it's safe.
"Hey!" I only heard Antonidas sigh: "When the tribe is defeated, I have also decided to put down my position in the Council of Six and live out my old age in peace......"
How Carlin felt a strange smell in this sentence.
"Don't!" He hurriedly denied it: "Mentor, you are still young, and you will be able to teach a few better students than us in the future......
……
Left, Khadgar followed behind Carlin, and the whole person was in a state of desolation.
"Don't sigh!" Carlin smiled and said, "You can still help me do my research!" ”
"What kind of research?" Khadgar muttered, "Now that you can't even leave Dalaran, what else can you do?" ”
"Come with me!" With Khadgar with him, Carlin quickly arrives at Violet Castle's storeroom.
As he spoke, he began to rummage through the cabinets.
"What about what I left here when I left Dalaran before?" He asked.
"It's all here!" Khadgar replied, "But no one will touch your things." ”
Carlin searched again...... After a few minutes, he finally found the existence he was looking for.
A somewhat worn-out recipe and a few bags of clear, slightly yellowed liquid.
This is the explosive "nitroglycerin" that he asked Vadela, the most famous alchemist in Dalaran, to make after many experiments when he went to Karazan before leaving Dalaran!
"This isn't the one you did before...... Improved gunpowder? Khadgar frowned and said, "Does this still make sense?" ”
As he spoke, Carlin opened one of the bags.
I only heard a loud "bang", and the bag of "nitroglycerin" exploded the moment it came into contact with the air.
Fortunately, there were two blue-robed archmages in the hut, and an explosion of this level could not not even harm them, but could not even affect other things in the hut.
This is also the greatest advantage of the wizarding world, thanks to the help of powerful protective magic; The "danger" of these dangerous goods has become almost insignificant, and the experiments that required extreme caution and risking one's life in previous lives are not necessary here.
"As you can see, it's unstable!" Khadgar frowned and questioned.
"There's a way to stabilize it!" "For example, add some wood pulp or sand and mix it with it, but the recipe is still being explored...... That's where your help comes in! ”
"It still doesn't make much sense!" Khadgar shrugged: "It's too powerful, and even if it stabilizes, it's better for us to lose a few more fireballs......"
"Can ordinary people throw fireballs like this?" Carlin asked rhetorically.
"Can't ......" Khadgar shook his head, "You need at least a fourth-ring, or fifth-ring mage, to do it easily!" ”
"So!" A smile appeared on the corner of Karin's mouth: "Its meaning is that ordinary people who don't know magic can throw fireballs!" ”
"Sounds great!" Khadgar was stunned for a moment, then blinked: "Leave it to me!" ”
