Chapter 0834: Alchemist Guild

The Great Wise Man could see that Daenerys was interested in the Fire Warlock Guild, and that look spoke for itself.

Many island princes, governors of free city-states, or wealthy people from eastern cities, mercenary captains, and captains of ships who are visiting King's Landing for the first time are interested in the Fireman's Guild in King's Landing.

The pyromancers who studied the materials used to make wildfires were also well-known on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

"Your Majesty, the full name of our guild is the Alchemist Guild, and it has existed for thousands of years. When the Old Town School City was not yet famous, all the learned people in the mainland gathered in our Alchemist Guild. Four hundred years ago, our Guild's influence extended to Asha, in the East, where Lady Melisandre came. "The great wise man is full of elegant bachelor's atmosphere.

Talking about the glorious history of the Alchemists' Guild brought light on the faces of the Great Wise and the other wise men, as well as their apprentices and assistants.

Lady Melisandre said, "Your Majesty, in the eastern Asia, there is still the temple of the Fire Warlock Guild, and the fire manor's inheritance in it has not been interrupted, and the fire manicers have magical fire abilities and are widely respected in Yaxia. The book accounts of the pyromancers and their word of mouth say that their ancestors came from the Alchemists' Guild in Westeros. ”

Daenerys looked surprised.

Magic Mountain also felt the surprise.

He didn't expect that in history, the influence of the Alchemist Guild here would spread across the two continents.

The Great Wise Man had a self-deprecating look on his face: "In thousands of years of history, our Alchemist Guild was once glorious and prosperous, but in recent centuries, with the rapid rise of science and technology among the Masters of Old Town, the influence of our fire warlocks has gradually been weakened. Four hundred years ago, when the Valyrian Empire was destroyed by the fire of the earth, and a large number of dragons were suffocated by the fire and thick smoke and dust, the magic and arcane mysteries of the whole world were like depleted springs, and our fire mysteries and many arcane spells lost their magical powers. ”

"Because of dragons?" Daenerys asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, dragons are the supreme magical creatures, and when dragons disappeared completely more than a hundred years ago, our guild was left with only one of the most basic abilities: refining wildfire matter. Over the past hundred years, many of the great wise men in our guild have rapidly aged and died of depression. Many of the elders and wise men were even more discouraged and chose to silently leave the place where they had stayed all their lives, and no one knew where they had gone. ”

The Magic Mountain was also the first time to learn about the unknown side of the Fire Warlock Guild: "Great Wise Man, the great wildfire substance in my eyes is just a little basic thing left over from the decline of the Alchemist Guild?"

The Great Wise Man looked at the Demon Mountain and showed a wry smile, he made a gesture to please go inside, and the group followed the Great Wise Man to the depths of the guild: "Your Majesty, in our Guild, only the most incompetent fire magicians will research and make wildfire substances. True fire magicians, they can refine any metal at will, and create all kinds of fire creatures."

"Fire creatures?" Demon Mountain's eyes lit up fiercely. In his traversal memory, there was no such thing as an inside history of the Fire Warlock's Guild. Flame creatures uh, he'd heard of it for the first time.

Daenerys' big beautiful eyes also brightened.

The fire creatures, the Magic Mountain, Daenerys, and the accompanying generals were all heard of for the first time.

Only Lady Melisandre remained charming, and she did not feel any surprises. A red gem the size of a pigeon's egg hung around her neck, like a flame like blood, which reflected her face flush and the skin on her neck even whiter.

The Great Wise Man sighed: "Your Majesty, hundreds of years ago, the apprentices of the senior sages in our guild did not bother to touch wildfire substances, and only the most junior apprentices, the most gifted assistants, would make them learn to understand the meaning of flames from refining wildfire substances. ”

"It's like a swordsman apprentice just starting to learn how to hold a sword?" said Arya Stark. In Lady Melisandre's stone house, she learned a lot about the mysteries of fire, but those mysteries were not powerful, and they needed royal blood to catalyze them to have magical powers. From Lady Melisandre's flames, Arya saw fire creatures for the first time. However, the creature can only appear in the flames for a short time, and cannot leave the flames to the ground, and the flames need to be infused with royal blood to hatch into the flame creatures.

"Yes, Miss Arya. When the great wise man looked at Arya, his eyes were different from those of the others, with two subtle hints of prudence and appreciation, and a faint vigilance.

The old man led everyone to the rows of black labyrinth-like entrances, and everyone followed the great wise man in, the ground, ceiling and walls were made of cold black stone, turning around and around, and there was no end in sight: "Hundreds of years ago, the old and wise men all had fire creatures of their own creation, just like the Red Smoke Beast of His Majesty, the war horses of the generals, and the swords in the hands of the swordsmen. ”

"Great Sage, when did all the mysteries of the flames disappear?" Arya asked. Deep down, she had a faint sense that she was about to comprehend something. Last night in Lady Melisandre's stone house, Lady said that with the dragon's appearance and strength, her power of fire magic had been significantly enhanced. Arya has the heart to learn some fire secrets and refine shadow guards, which are skills that are not available in the Faceless Guild. If Lady Melisandre's fire magic is strengthened, then the fire arcs of the Great Wise Men in the Fire Warlocks' Guild will surely be revived as well. It's just that to what extent it will be recovered, that's something unknown.

The Magic Mountain saw that the Great Sage looked at Arya differently, as if he was very willing to answer Arya's question, and only heard the Great Sage say: "Arya, one hundred and seventy years ago, when the last dragon in King's Landing's Dragon's Lair was killed, we found that even the most powerful sage in the guild had only one secret art left to wield: wildfire matter. The elders and wise men in the guild were desperate, and since then, there has been no longer an elder in our guild. ”

"Why?" Daenerys asked. She was also very concerned about the topic of flames, because she was a non-burner, and she had always thought that the talent of the non-burner was only possessed by the Targaryens, but listening to the great wise man talk about the glorious history of the guild, it seemed that every great wise man was an unburner. This caused Daenerys to feel frustrated, but she was more desperate to find out if the wise men had what it took to keep her from burning.

"Your Majesty, when the wise men found out that they only had the ability to refine wildfire substances left, all the elders chose to commit suicide. Many of their gifted disciples and apprentices chose to follow. It was the most tragic past of our guild, and no one wants to talk about it again, let alone face it. Books about those deeds were burned a few years later. From then on, the people of Westeros only knew that the wise men of the Fire Warlocks' Guild would refine the great Wildfire Substance. Unaware of their true secret meaning, which is the creation of more powerful and more variable fire creatures and the creation of their own fire creatures. ”

The words of the great wise man made the atmosphere much more depressing.

The elders and disciples in the guild chose to self-immolate, which of course would further weaken the guild's strength. It was a heartbreaking past, full of reluctance and despair.

The crowd walked out of the huge dark and cold labyrinth to a string of empty stone chambers, where the temperature was even colder, and when they reached out and touched the stone wall, the stones were as cold as ice. I don't know where these stones came from, but they are bubbling with cold air.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Generals, this is where we refine the Wildfire Substance. In each stone chamber there will be a wise man, an apprentice and an assistant, the wise man is responsible for refining the wildfire substance, the apprentice is bottling and storage, and the assistant is standing all over the door. Look, there's a rope here. After the dragon is completely extinct, the originally stable wildfire material becomes extremely unstable, and the slightest shaking will burn, and then cause a fire and explosion, and whenever the wildfire material in the stone chamber spontaneously combusts due to vibration, the assistant will pull this rope. As he spoke, the wise man stretched out his hand and pulled the rope that was hanging from the side of the door, when he heard a loud click, and the ceiling above the people's heads was completely turned upside down......

"Before dragons re-invigorated the skies of Westeros, our ceilings were filled with yellow sand, the only substance that could extinguish the flames of wildfire after our fire arcanes and mysteries were gone. For safety, the ceiling of each stone chamber is designed as a movable flap, and the yellow sand along the river is completely dried and poured onto the ceiling from the upper floor, so as to ensure that the wildfire material can be extinguished as soon as it burns. Once something happens, whether it is an accident during refining or a spontaneous combustion of a wildfire caused by vibration, or an inexplicable spontaneous combustion of the wildfire substance itself, we only need to pull this rope to ensure that the fire is extinguished instantly. ”

"That's cleverly designed!" Daenerys reached out and tried to pull the rope, and there was no yellow sand on the ceiling, and she heard a click, and the flipped ceiling flipped back and returned to its original state. There is not the slightest flaw to be seen, and it is seamless.

"Great Wise Man, now you don't need yellow sand to extinguish wildfires, congratulations on your Fire Secret Technique recovering its strength!" Arya was eager to try. Since the big friend of the Magic Mountain can let Melisandre give her some fire secrets and the mysteries of the shadow guard, he must also be able to let the great wise man explain some secrets about the flame to her. From Melisandre, Arya discovers a new window, a new world full of fascinating charm.

"When dragons are alive again in the sky, there has been some revival of our Fire Mysteries, but it's not enough to create fire creatures. A smile appeared on the face of the great wise man.

"How long will it take to fully recover?"

"When more dragons appear in our skies. The more active the dragon is, the more powerful the magic becomes. Not only our fire secret methods, but also the secret methods of the red gods, the seven gods, various wizards, and the occult in the old town school city will be revived one after another. It's just that the degree of recovery varies. ”

"Great Wise Man, when I was studying at home, Master Lewyn read about dragons that Aegon IV Targaryen had the wise men hatch seven dragon eggs in the Summer Hall in order to conquer Dorne. ”

"Yes, but the wildfire material got out of control, and there was a big explosion in the Summer Hall, and the King, the Prince, the Kingsguard, and many of the courtiers and ladies were burned to death in the Summer Hall. His Majesty Daenerys' brother, Rhaegar Targaryen, was born in the explosion of Summer Hall. Her Majesty's mother was rescued by the Captain of the Kingsguard and placed on the grass outside, where she gave birth to Rhaegar Targaryen. When the captain of the Kingsguard returned to save the king, he did not come out again. ”

The Magic Mountain knows the story, which is the Targaryen royal family's famous 'tragedy in the Summer Hall'.

"Great Wise Man, I heard that Aegon IV ordered the Fire Warlock Guild to create a 'dragon' for him before the dragon eggs hatched in the Summer Hall in order to conquer Dorne. "The purpose of the Demon Mountain coming here today is also related to the 'dragon' that the fire warlocks once created.

"Your Majesty knows that we once made a dragon?" said the Great Wise Man.

Moshan is not a person who likes to read, and his fame is not erudition, but the brutal killing and illiterate characters of his youth.

"I've heard it happen. "Magic Mountain, take out the Great Master of Coben and use it.

"Oh!"

"Great Wise Man, before testing the power of the wildfire bomb, can you let us see the 'dragon' you once made?" said Demon Mountain politely, but his tone was affirmative. He wants to see, there is no doubt about it.

"Dragons, dragons made by the wise men?" Daenerys' big beautiful eyes widened. For the first time, she had heard that dragons could be made by humans. Arya Stark and the others were equally surprised.

"That's not really a dragon, our guild has to act under the orders of the king. ”

"Lead the way, please. Moshan smiled.

"Good. But that's a failure. The Great Wise Man said.

However, there was a great deal of interest among the people, and everyone was eager to see the 'dragons' made by the wise men.

So, the great wise man led the way, and walked through the winding corridors, and he smiled: "The 'dragon' is in the warehouse on the lower level in front, and it is already covered with dust. ”

As the group walked forward, a huge black stone wall appeared in front of them, and there were many reliefs carved on it, mainly of strange-shaped creatures, which were almost never seen beforeβ€”like lions instead of lions, like wild horses instead of wild horses, like shadow lynx instead of shadow lynx...... This wall is bubbling with a faint chill, and the tentacles are smooth and clean, and the dust is not clean, which shows that someone often wipes it. Everyone saw a row of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing on the top: The Alchemist Guild has a long history, and wildfire is only one of the foundations of many of our sacred secret arts. Before the magic power wore off, our wise men created countless fire creatures through the secret method of fire.
