Candles and torches the size of the child's arms were lit, and everyone turned into the spiral staircase leading down the ladder under the guidance of the great wise man. As if tailor-made for the Magic Mountain, the space of the spiral staircase is still very high, without the cramped feeling of the small staircase in the basement.

In addition to the darkness in the basement, which is as thick as ink, the ceiling is still very high, which is in line with the tall and majestic temperament of the Alchemist's Guild building.

It took more candles and torches to light the darkness in the basement by the wise men and apprentice assistants who accompanied them.

In the corner of the underground warehouse, there are seven black dragon-shaped tubular objects in a row. The opening at the front end of this object is the shape of a hideous dragon head, the dragon's mouth opens to reveal a large black bowl-like hole, and the object is supported by the design of two dragon claws in the front and back, except for the absence of dragon tails and dragon wings, the rest of the parts are designed according to the shape of the dragon.

The seven 'dragons' are all pitch black, half-human height, about three meters long, and have a calm momentum. The two dragon's eyes on the dragon's head may be inlaid with black gemstones, reflecting the brilliance of the torches, and they look like the two black eyes of living creatures.

"This is the dragon that Aegon IV ordered?" Daenerys was the first to step up.

"Your Majesty, these seven dragons haven't been wiped for a long time, and there may be a lot of dust. A wise man reminded Daenerys to reach out and touch.

Daenerys's snow-white hand was as white as jade, and a dragon head was placed on it, the tentacles were cold, and when she raised her palm, she saw that it was indeed a black dirty ash mark.

Seven tubular dragons, with lifelike hideous dragon heads, dragon claws with sharp spikes exposed, and dragon scales covering the whole body. If you add the dragon's tail and wings, it feels like these seven dragons will be able to fly in the next second.

"What kind of material is this made of?" Daenerys asked.

The great wise man came to the Seven Dragons: "Your Majesty, this is made of black iron and steel. ”

Arya flexed her knuckles and tapped, and the dragon's body made a metallic sound.

"Can it breathe fire?" asked Arya.

"Yes, Miss Arya. Aegon IV ordered the Fire Warlocks' Guild to create dragons that could breathe flames. ”

"Can you breathe wildfire?"

"I used to, but I don't know if I can use it now. ”

Daenerys discovered that the dragon had a round black iron rod at the back end, the head of the rod was forked to fit both hands at the same time, and the upper end of the dragon's body also had a circular hole.

"Great Wise Man, is this the hole in the wildfire matter?" Daenerys asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"What does this black iron rod do?" Daenerys grasped the fork with both hands, lowered her body, and pushed forward hard, but the iron rod did not move.

"It's a putter, Your Majesty. We poured wildfire material into the hole above, and then pushed it hard, and the wildfire material shot out of the dragon's mouth, forming an erupting flame. ”

"Did the seven dragons travel to Dorne to fight?" Arya asked.

"Not really, miss. ”

"Oh, why?" Daenerys asked.

There were dozens of people in the audience, and Daenerys and Arya kept asking questions, and the crisp voices of the two sounded in the underground warehouse, and the voices were very good.

"During the official performance for King Aegon IV, wildfire material burned the apprentice of the performance, and he was burned alive in front of the king. The other six dragons were also unsafe, and the properties of wildfire materials were extremely unstable, often spontaneously combusting when dumped into iron pipes, and the apprentices and assistants who operated them could easily be burned. ”

Magic Mountain said: "This tubular dragon that spews wildfire is transported to Dorne to fight, and the first to be burned will be the wise men and apprentices who use them. ”

"His Majesty is right. ”

"If you're going to be burned during the test, why do you have to make seven of them at once?" Daenerys said with a slight frown.

"King Aegon IV has decreed that the Pyromancers' Guild has to act on orders. Seven statues were made at once to pay homage to the seven gods. The Great Wise Man said.

Daenerys Targaryen could hear something else in the words of the Great Wise Men—that Aegon IV was a strong and cruel king, and that the Guild Wise men had to obey his orders, no matter how unreasonable.

If it was Daenerys, she would order a dragon to be made for experimentation, and then more dragons when it was feasible. But Aegon IV directly ordered that seven statues should be made at the same time for the first time.

"Actually, it's okay to make one statue for experimentation first, and you don't have to make seven statues at once. Magic Mountain said lightly.

Daenerys looked at the Magic Mountain, and the invisible crab in her stomach moved slightly. This time it was okay, just a slight pinch and it stopped.

What Moshan said would be the same as what she thought?!

"Great Wise Man, can you give me one of the seven iron dragons discarded here?"

The Great Wise Man looked at the Demon Mountain in surprise: "Your Majesty, you have a real dragon. ”

"I can use it. ”

The Great Wise Man smiled: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will send someone to send one to the Megar Tower in the Red Castle." ”

"No, I'll just bring it back myself. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to carry out the gate and prepare the carriage. Fredkari the Wise, go and pick eight able-bodied apprentices. ”

"Yes, Great Wise Man. An accompanying wise man said respectfully.

"There's no need to call someone, I'll carry it out. Magic Mountain said.

"His Majesty ...... King"

"It doesn't matter, although I am a king, I am actually a rough man with some strength. The magic mountain leaned down, not afraid of getting dirty, and lifted an iron dragon with both hands. The black iron guy weighing hundreds of pounds didn't take much effort at all when it came to his hands.

"Let's go, let's go and see the explosion test of a wildfire bomb. Magic Mountain said.

The wise men and apprentices were dumbfounded, and His Majesty the King was holding this heavy and abnormal guy to see the test explosion of the wildfire bomb?

"Your Majesty is truly innate and incomparable. The voice of the great wise man overflowed with praise.

Despite the flattery, Daenerys had to admit that the power of the Magic Mountain was amazingly strong that she had never seen before. The first hero of the steppe is as burly and powerful as Drogo Kao, and he can't compare to the burly and tough of the Magic Mountain. This brutal and bloodthirsty creature is an anomaly, a beast in human skin.

The mermaids walked up the spiral staircase to the ground, and the magic mountain walked at the end with an iron dragon. Hundreds of pounds of large iron objects, he grabbed the dragon claws and lifted them in his hands, and he couldn't see his sense of labor.

"Your Majesty, what do you want this thing for?" asked Arya, walking beside the Magic Mountain. She is the personal guard of the Magic Mountain, and when she goes out and goes up, she always leaves the Magic Mountain.

"It worked. Magic Mountain uttered an answer that didn't answer anything.

*

Daenerys saw the so-called wildfire bomb that the Magic Mountain was talking about. It was the first time she had heard of wildfire bombs, and it was the first time she had seen them.

A small ball of terrifying wildfire matter mixed with other substances resembles a green oval egg in Daenerys' hand.

Behind Daenerys, the Magic Mountain gently lowered the iron dragon. The iron dragon landed without making a sound.

What will this thing be used for? Daenerys didn't know. For the first time, she saw dry wildfire material. In the past, wildfire materials were all green liquids, stored in crockpots.

Wildfire material is unstable in nature, and once shaken, it is likely to spontaneously combust, and the green flame will not be extinguished until the material is completely burned out. Nothing can extinguish it except the overturning of yellow sand. It's such a terrible thing, now in the palm of Daenerys' hand.

If it weren't for the wise men holding it in their hands, and if it weren't for the great wise men who ensured that the performance of the wildfire bomb was very stable now, Daenerys really didn't want to let this terrifying thing put in the palm of her hand.

Like Daenerys, Arya, Melisandre, Baron Swain, Bronn and others were the first to see this mysterious green egg-sized thing. Fearful and curious, Arya, Melisandre, Baron, and Bronn each have a wildfire bomb in their hands.

"Great wise man, try the power of wildfire bombs. The voice of the Magic Mountain rang out.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The wise man's eyes motioned, and his apprentice stepped forward and threw a wildfire bomb into the distance.

The green ball flew out and hit an erected stone slab accurately, and the green fire flashed, making a loud bang, which shocked the unsuspecting people's hearts, and in the loud noise, the green flames exploded like hundreds of green fireflies flying and scattered in all directions.

The dotted green flame fell into a circular shape and burned on the ground, the green light swaying in the room.

"Not bad, not bad. Magic Mountain's voice sounded again, "If hundreds of wildfire bombs were to be thrown by strong, specially trained soldiers and fall into the enemy's array, any array would collapse in an instant." Magic Mountain laughed, and the demonic laughing student bumped into the wildfire bomb test stone house.

Everyone was amazed to see this unheard-of attack for the first time. Arya's eyes became wary and sharp. No one can resist any array, when it encounters such an attack method. There is only one way for those who have been shot: scream and die!

Once this wildfire material splashes on a person's body, even the armor will be burned through. Rolling on the ground, jumping into the water, to no avail.

Daenerys is even more chilled!

Such a terrible thing, was it a wise man who came up with it?

"Great wise man, the invention and manufacture of this wildfire bomb, if you use force against people, it will be too evil and cruel. Those who were shot could only be burned alive. Daenerys said sharply. The face of the maid Missandei beside her had turned pale. Missandei, like Daenerys, thought that the Magic Mountain would use such a terrible thing to attack the continent of Essos and fulfill his ambitions. Even if Daenerys were to return to Slaver's Bay after Sansa's wedding, her Unsullied legions would not be able to stop the wildfire bomb when the Magic Mountain led an army to attack.

"Daenerys, don't blame the wise men, it's my idea. Magic Mountain said.

"Your idea, then I'm not surprised. Daenerys' words were full of mockery.

But Daenerys was still very 'strange' in her heart, Magic Mountain thought of using wildfire matter to invent a solid wildfire bomb, and his 'evil wisdom' made Daenerys feel uncomfortable, and the invisible little crab in her stomach began to clamp her stomach again.

"This is just a primary, low-end experiment. Magic Mountain took Daenerys' taunt as a compliment to himself, and he said lightly, "Everyone, let me use the iron dragon to launch wildfire bombs, so that you can see more power." ”

Hundreds of pounds of iron dragon that needs a few strong men to lift was carried in front by the magic mountain's hands, he asked the wise apprentices to put ten wildfire bombs from the round hole in the hole, covered with iron covers, he leaned over and held the handle of the push rod with one hand, and pushed forward hard, the iron dragon was vigorously driven to beat like a living thing, ten wildfire bombs flew out of the dragon's mouth, made a faint whistling sound, crossed the erected stone slab, bombarded the far wall, bang, a series of explosions converged into a loud bang, which shook everyone's ears very uncomfortable。

The green wildfires that burst out shot out in all directions, some splashed on the ceiling, and the wildfires of the phoenix dance were very gorgeous, and the green light was projected on people's faces, shaking out the abnormal color of green and faint.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

It's so powerful, I don't know how many times more powerful than the wildfire bomb just now. The wildfire fell and covered most of the room. Most of the rooms in front of us were dotted with frightening green flames.

Daenerys instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to find that her mouth was dry. It was as if something had collapsed in her throat, and her stomach began to throb again.

Arya was also shocked, and the magic mountain said that this iron dragon was useful, and it turned out to be a dragon that could be used to fire wildfire bombs. If it weren't for the wall, I don't know how far the wildfire bomb would have flown out.

Nothing so powerful had ever been seen before. The wise man did not expect that wildfire bombs could be so 'massive'.

In the suffocating silence of everyone, the voice of the Demon Mountain sounded again: "Great Wise Man, expand the volume of the current wildfire bomb by twelve times and make it into a super large wildfire bomb, which can be launched by this iron dragon, one at a time." The characteristics of the iron dragon's tubular channel are many times more accurate than the firing accuracy of the ballista. ”

The great wise man also felt the dryness of his lips: "Your Majesty, the distance at which the iron dragon throws wildfire bombs is far from the distance of a ballista. ”

"It's true that a ballista can fire a super wildfire projectile very far, but the Iron Dragon only needs a little improvement to fire farther than the ballista, and can easily shoot over high walls and into enemy cities. ”

"Like a trebuchet?"

"Yes, it's like a trebuchet, throwing high, hitting the target far away, better accuracy than a trebuchet. ”

The great wise man's eyes flickered: "Your Majesty, ordinary soldiers don't have your divine power. The force that pushes the push rod simply can't fire the Super Wildfire Bomb high and far. ”

The Magic Mountain was confident, and said with a faint smile: "Great Wisdom, improve the wildfire bomb a little more, without manpower or pusher, the wildfire bomb can erupt high and far by itself." Regarding the improvement of the Iron Dragon and the improvement of the Super Wildfire Bomb, I have already thought about it and formed drawings and texts. ”

Chapter 0835 II: Giant Artillery

The Great Wise Man had a brief moment of sluggishness, and the Magic Mountain improved the Iron Dragon and Wildfire Bombs, and drew drawings and words?

But think about the miracle brought by the magic mountain, it is not impossible!

The wise man was quickly relieved!

For the Demon Mountain, who had slain the Night King in Winterfell in the North, it didn't seem strange that any miracle had happened to him. The disappeared dragon has reappeared with the power of the Demon Mountain, and as the dragon is active in the sky, the gods have gradually awakened the sleeping magical power.

Magic Mountain took out the blueprints that had been prepared long ago from his arms, this is the future artillery that can be installed on the battleship, and it is also the wheeled artillery that can push the wheels forward and collapse the city wall. Starting from the iron dragon made by the Great Wise Guild and building on it, and making a slight improvement on this basis, there will be no sense of leaping out of this era. Aegon IV was ahead of his time, and when he ordered the sages of the Fire Warlock Guild to make a dragon that could breathe fire, he must have had no idea that he had touched the doorknob of another era of hot weapons.

The tubular flamethrower made into the shape of a dragon, and the flamethrower in the earth civilization that Magic Mountain understands, originally belonged to the people of the same family. The flamethrower in the earth's civilization is mainly composed of oil bottles, pressure source devices, oil pipes, ignition devices and flamethrowers. However, because wildfire materials will spontaneously combust and explode after vibration and impact, ignition devices are not needed at all. The design of the artillery should not be too advanced, so it is reasonable to make a prototype with an iron dragon first, and then refine it step by step.

Daenerys watched the great wise man take the so-called drawings from the magic mountain pass, and like everyone else, she was amazed and her curiosity could not be suppressed. Daenerys leaned up to see the snow-white paper with a drawing of an iron dragon on it, and the iron dragon was placed on a vehicle with dotted lines marked with the words: Gun Carriage.

The iron dragon is very long, and the gun carriage is very burly. And on the drawings, the Magic Mountain is no longer called the iron dragon a dragon, but marked as an artillery. There is a dotted line drawn on it, which standardizes the caliber and length of the faucet. In addition, the magic mountain also used words to divide the iron dragon into multiple parts, each part has a name, what body, medicine room, cannon tail and so on.

Daenerys had naturally never seen anything like it.

Naturally, the great wise man saw it for the first time.

When Aegon IV ordered the creation of a fire dragon, the sages of the guild created a tubular metal flamethrower in the form of a dragon, except that the name they gave the flamethrower was a dragon. Neither Aegon IV nor the Guild Sage had the concept of a flamethrower in their minds.

Everything is modeled after the dragon's ability to breathe flames.

Arya also stared at the drawings.

The proportions of the picture are harmonious, the role and size of each part are marked, and the two wheels of the gun carriage are large, as high as the waist of an adult. The iron dragon is installed on the gun carriage, and with the iron dragon on wheels, it can be easily pulled by horses, oxen or manpower.

The cannon designed by the Magic Mountain according to the Iron Dragon is not a small artillery, but a heavy large artillery. This is a very high starting point for thermal weapons, but the people in front of them are people from the semi-animal husbandry and semi-agricultural era, and they don't know anything about the concept of artillery, so it doesn't matter how big or small. Whatever the Magic Mountain gave them, they accepted. The original artillery in Chinese history, known as the bronze gun, had a diameter of only 105 mm and a barrel diameter of only 75 mm, a total length of 35.3 cm, and a weight of 6.94 kg. Compared with the artillery launched by Magic Mountain, it can be described as a giant cannon. The barrel of the gun is nearly ten times longer and weighs more than ten times. The power of this artillery, for the people in front of them, is still only in the amazement and admiration of the drawings.

"Great Wise Men, I hope that all the wise men of the Fire Warlocks' Guild, together with the Master of Weapons, Sir Tob Mott, and the Master Blacksmith, Lord Gendry Clegane, will produce the first complete dragon cannon within a month. The test shells of this dragon artillery used large wildfire shells. ”

"Your Majesty, what does this powder room mean?"

"Where the gunpowder is loaded, there is a lead on the outside, and the gunpowder expands rapidly in a closed environment, which pushes the wildfire shell out of the muzzle. The driving force generated by this energy is equivalent to a powerful magical force. ”

"Gunpowder? What is gunpowder?"

"A flammable and explosive substance similar to wildfire material, but not as horrible as wildfire material, and if it catches fire, it can be doused with water. Before the recipe for gunpowder was worked out, everything was done with stationary wildfire substances. ”

"This is the first time I've heard of gunpowder, and did His Majesty learn this new substance from the Old Town School?"

"Not really. ”

"Oh!" the great wise man stopped with great interest, perhaps His Majesty the King knew about the new substance of gunpowder from the mouth of a certain bachelor of science in the school city, "Does Your Majesty have such a substance as gunpowder?"

"I'm still researching, and when I get back from Sansa's wedding, I think I'll be able to bring back a recipe for gunpowder for the Great Wise Man. ”

The great wise man was shocked in his heart, could it be that this so-called gunpowder comparable to wildfire substances was really concocted by the Magic Mountain itself?!

A miracle? a miracle?

The great wise man in shock froze: "Your Majesty, this dragon cannon still uses wildfire shells for experiments?"

"Yes, Great Wise Man, the shells and the burning material in the powder chamber are all fixed wildfire materials, and this time it will be hard for you again. ”

"His Majesty the King has an order, and we will do our best. The Great Wise Man said. His statement made Moshan feel very comfortable.

Daenerys looked at the drawings and listened to the conversation, her head raised, her eyes locked on the Magic Mountain, her heart in disbelief, her stomach hurting so much that her face almost twisted.

When did Magic Mountain have the erudition of those great scholars in the city, and he was still researching and inventing gunpowder that could be comparable to the substance of wildfire? Gunpowder gunpowder must be a kind of medicine. Daenerys's gaze was on Melisandre, the priestess of the Red God, and she suddenly realized that she took it for granted that the magical gunpowder essence in the Magic Mountain Pass was most likely inspired by Melisandre.

"Your Majesty, if we had built this dragon cannon according to the drawings, how far could it have projected a large wildfire bomb?"

"Far away, I estimate that if a cannon were set up in the arena outside King's Landing, it would be able to fire shells that could easily pass over the high walls and hit the center of King's Landing. ”

"Can you fight from the martial arts arena outside the city to the Silent Sisters?" the great wise man was incredulous, and his voice changed in surprise. This kind of range, he has never heard of.

"I think so. Noting the shocked gazes of the soldiers around him and Daenerys' dumbfounded, Moshan decided to keep a low profile and ease the shock here, "However, whether this cannon can work or not will need to be made for testing will be known." ”

Baron Swain, Bolon, Arya, Melisandre and the others all stared at the Magic Mountain, and the expressions on their faces were all very exciting.

Melisandre's mind was spinning quickly, she knew that the magic mountain would take time to think of this cannon from the iron dragon and draw a complete drawing, it must not have been done now, at least a year ago, the magic mountain must have had the idea of this kind of artillery.

Artillery was not enough, inspired by Aegon IV's iron dragon, but the so-called gunpowder, which was comparable to wildfire substance, Melisandre had heard of it for the first time, and was not a person of rare talent who could not study a formula similar to that of wildfire substance, there was no doubt about that.

The secrets of the wildfire matter in the Firemancer's Guild are not the wise men in the Guild, and it is impossible to get any teaching.

Demon Mountain didn't have the time to be taught by the scholars of the Academy, so how did he have time to study something like gunpowder?

The thought of being an oracle untied the knot in Melisandre's heart in an instant.

There is no doubt that the Magic Mountain is the reincarnation of Asor Ahai. He is the messenger chosen by the Red God to slay the Night King in Lindong. The night is long and the sinister is everywhere, but the Red God is the only true god, who walks the world in different forms, chooses his messenger and bestows him on rare miracles.

Guild Wise Men are just as incredulous. Their eyes fell on the Demon Mountain's body, as if they wanted to peek into some mystery from the huge size of the Demon Mountain.

The great wise man pointed to the drawings, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by the iron hoop outside this powder room?"

"Reinforcement, as well as the thickness of the barrel of these dragon cannons, need to be thickened on top of the original size, and the barrel should also be balanced and reinforced with iron hoops to avoid smoothbore explosions and injury to the gunner. ”

"If a wildfire bomb is thrown strongly, I am afraid that the wildfire bomb will explode due to spontaneous combustion before it hits the target. ”

"Then you need to improve the stability of wildfire bombs. ”

Populated by his astonishment, he suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, Great Wise Man, if a wildfire bomb explodes in the air and green wildfire material flies down from the sky, it will be able to attack the enemy's city. Wildfire shells may not need further stabilization characteristics. ”

"Captain Bolon, if you slaughter the city with wildfire matter, there won't be anything left for you. If a city is burned to the ground by wildfire, what can it bring you?" Daenerys said as she stared coldly at Bollon.

The wickedness of wildfire is feared by all.

"Artillery can also fire iron balls. Magic Mountain said.

"Iron balls?"

"Yes, forge large balls of iron one by one, and fire them through artillery to break down the walls of the enemy. ”

Daenerys opened her mouth, but this time she couldn't make a sound.

Bolong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have been to the Quiles Giant City, it is said that the Quiles Giant City has thirteen walls, which are impregnable, and no legion in history has been able to break through the Quiles Giant City. If our artillery is made, will the walls be able to hold it back?"

"Sir, your Majesty the King has dragons and can attack Quells from the air without any artillery. ”

Bronn smiled, "That's different, Your Majesty." The king's dragon is only one, and the ground legions and naval warriors can only attack from the ground, and the great walls of Quells will stop us from advancing. ”

Magic Mountain said lightly: "The artillery is made, and there are many shells that can be fired. When a wildfire bullet is mixed with iron nails, or small iron balls, or small sharp triangles, and when fired into the enemy's array and explodes, those iron nails, iron balls, and triangles with razor-sharp edges can easily penetrate armor and human bodies. ”

Daenerys and Missandei, who were already terrified, could no longer speak.

With such a vicious weapon, how did Magic Mountain come up with it?!

No wonder he has a lot of tone and ambition to take the continent of Westeros and Essos. What he said today, no one had ever heard of. Such a terrible and terrifying weapon, if it is the embodiment of the will of the gods, then the eyes of the gods must be blinded.

"Magic Mountain, you can make artillery, and others can also make artillery. Daenerys heard her voice say. The sound was so far away that it was as unreal as if it were in a dream. Daenerys was in a trance. The power of the magic mountain's cannons terrified her. She was ready to return to Slaver's Bay after Sansa's wedding, and she was ready to train the Unsullied Legion, but with the cannons made by the Magic Mountain, she suddenly found herself with no chance to fight back.

Daenerys directly called the Magic Mountain the Magic Mountain, without using honorifics.

"Daenerys, others may be able to mimic artillery, but they can't study wildfire matter and explosive substances. This is our unique secret. Moshan stretched out his hand and gently held Daenerys's snow-white little jade hand, "Your hands are so cold, do you feel cold?"

"Well, the walls here are like ice cubes. Daenerys heard her voice reply. She is a non-burner, like a dragon with her own flame temperature, she is more resistant to cold than normal people.

"Let's get out. Magic Mountain said.

Daenerys didn't know how she got out of the Wildfire Bomb Test Stone House, or how she got out of the Firemancers' Guild, but when she came to her senses, she found herself holding hands with the Magic Mountain, standing in front of the gate of the Firemancers' Guild, watching the people on the street.

Daenerys struggled hard, and the giant of the magic mountain held her hand like a small beast pressed by the mountain, and there was no reaction at all. This made Daenerys's delicate and perfect face flush with humiliation.

"Your Majesty, please let go. Daenerys said.

Moshan turned his head to look at Daenerys, he did not let go of his hand, his eyes were modest, and his tone was gentle: "Your Majesty, I will send you to the sedan chair." The other hand of the magic mountain was slightly raised, and the captain of the royal guard, Bolon, gave an order, and the soldiers went to the stables of the Fire Warlock Guild to pull out the war horses, and the four burly soldiers also came out of the hall of the guild, carrying the sedan chair that Daenerys was sitting on when she came.
