Chapter 479
Dragonstone is a seabed volcanic eruption, lava condensed into rock, and gradually built up.
Targaryen's castle was built on the Fire Mountain Cliff called "Dragonmont".
Today, the volcano has died 99%, only the hot spring pool between the back garden of the castle and the Dragon Den, every day all boils a large white steam, which proves that the seabed volcano is not completely dead.
"By comparing the temperature around the castle, I guess this hot spring is the closest to the volcano's entrance." Marwyn cracked his mouth stained red by Sourleaf, looking nervous and excited.
"Goooooooo..."
The hot spring is 30 square meters, located under the hill, in the shape of leaves, the spring water of azure has steam bubbles all the time Burst out, bringing a lot of heat to this glass garden.
Even in winter, when it's freezing outside, the garden is still fragrant with peaches and plums, the trees are full of fruit, and the flowers are prosperous on the ground.
"Be careful, it's hot!" Old Crab suddenly exclaimed.
It was the Dragon Queen who squatted down by the hot spring, rolled up her sleeves, and plunged a jade arm that bullied Sai Xue into the boiling water.
"Wow!" The little hand moved a handful of spray, but did not hear the Queen's howl.
Old Crab was shocked, rubbed his eyes and looked again, Queen's right arm was only a little redder than before, and it didn't look cooked at all.
"Ah, what's going on?" Bronn wondered.
Old Crab seemed to suddenly realize, became extremely excited, and repeatedly shouted: "True dragon blood vein, this is the purest true dragon blood vein!"
Marwyn was also shocked. After a while, she had long understood that Dragon Queen was not an ordinary person, and she didn't care about her right hand immune to high temperature, but kept paying attention to Queen's expression.
Seeing her frowning and thinking, he asked eagerly: "How about it, is the Earth Fire magic power here enough?"
"Enough." Dany nods and said.
"Very good!" Marwyn twisted the bull's neck in excitement.
Old Crab said curiously, "You seem a little dissatisfied?"
"I thought the bottom of Dragonmont was just an extinct volcano, but I was wrong, the volcano isn't dead, it's just In a deep sleep. Three hundred meters below the ground, there is a huge Fire Element powerful enough to send Dragonstone flying." Dany said solemnly.
She reached into the hot spring water not to act cool, but to feel the Fire Element overflowing from the pool.
Big Black's Half God dragon soul entered the body, and the powerful mental strength went down along the Fire Element, all the way down, traced back to the source, and found the volcano below the hot spring.
This is also a form of witchcraft.
In the book "Magic Network Construction" that Marwyn brought out from the Citadel cellar, there is a complete set of techniques for creating magic power crystal balls, including tracing, exploring volcanoes through flame elements, and seducing volcanoes. The lava stream, extract Fire Element magic power from the lava, etc.
All of the above witchcraft can only be performed by those who have mastered the perfect Grand Sorcerer meditation method, and they must also have sufficient magic power.
Simply put, only Valyria Grand Sorcerer can forge Magic Network.
As a result, Valyrian doesn't mind the leakage of technology that is enough to suppress a country's luck.
Others can't use it either.
Just now, Dany used the magic of "Fire Element Tracking" to learn more about the volcanic structure below Dragonstone.
According to the criteria in "Magic Network Construction", she compared the abundance of Fire Elements on the surface of the Fire Mountain Cliff slurry at the bottom of the hot spring, and she judged that Dragonmont is a miniature-scale active volcano.
Well, the volcano enough to blow Dragonstone off is just a tiny thing in Valyrian's eyes.
Think about Valyria's Fourteen Flames...
Fourteen volcanoes, blasting a thousand-mile continent to smithereens.
It seems that Dragonmont is really tiny.
"Do you still want to build the Magic Power Network? Magic Power Network seems to be of little use except for the convenience of contact. The tragedy of Valyria is vividly remembered. Dragonstone should not repeat the same mistakes!" Old Crab said worriedly.
Marwyn hurriedly said: "Not only is it convenient for contact, the magic power crystal can magnify the user's magic power ten times, a hundred times, and what a glass candle can do, it can be done a hundred times more efficiently. ”
Magic Power Network certainly not only has a function of "magic Internet".
The Internet transmits digital signals, but Magic Power Network transmits real magic power.
Magic Power Network can also extract endless magic power from leyline lava, these magic power can be used to carry out large-scale Magic activities, such as building Blackstone Castle, building Valyrian road.
Think about it, the Great Heavenly Dynasty on Earth, such a country of infrastructure madness, builds a kilometer of highways, and the average cost is about 30 million.
——The price cannot be compared, it is not meaningful, but at least it shows how much it costs to build a kilometer of road.
In this world where productivity is generally close to that of the Western Middle Ages, Valyrian built the Great Way, an immortal stone of more than 30,000 kilometers.
They can build more if they want.
The key is that 30,000 kilometers is enough to connect several inland city-states on the Essos continent.
Well, the coastal city-states, such as Lys, Myr, Tyrosh, all take the sea route and don't need stone roads.
Valyrian can build roads, but can't build a car that travels at high speed on the road, or the sea route is more labor-saving and time-saving.
It is no exaggeration to say that the most advanced highways on Earth are not worthy of Valyrian road shoes - they have been used for more than 6,000 years, and they have never been maintained. It fell off a point, and it is still so angular.
This kind of large-scale infrastructure project consumes a huge amount of magic power!
Not even 300 dragons.
The endless magic power can only be extracted from the underground lava!
At this time, Dragon Queen also plans to build a Magic Power Crystal Tower in Dragonstone, extracting magic power from the volcano for communication connection.
—She doesn't yet have the skills to forge the Valyria black Immortal Stone.
“Theoretically, volcanoes don’t erupt without warning,” Dany muses, “I’ve done a lot of research on monitoring volcanoes on Magic Network Builds.
Builds Under the node of Magic Power Crystal Tower, there is an extremely tight seal array. The fluctuation of lava in the volcano is also displayed in Magic Network every moment."
"I know what you said, but It's also true that Valyria was destroyed in the Cataclysm," said Old Crab.
Dany's eyes flashed, said solemnly: "I am now more and more certain that the cataclysm is not a natural disaster."
Old Crab saw the determination on Queen's face and lamented: "No matter what. Is it a natural disaster, if it can happen once, it can happen the second time."
"Don't get excited, I won't draw lava magic power in a big way. Look, the hot spring is overflowing with Fire Element all the time. .I will also reduce the power of the Magic Power Crystal Tower, only absorb the magic power that escapes, and barely maintain the Magic Network communication." Dany smiled comforted.
"Oh, you just know." Old Crab barely sighed in relief.
——Of course I know, I don't live in Dragonstone often, how can the outbreak of True Fire Mountain not reach Slaver's Bay thousands of miles away.
"You all stay away." She turned her head back, befriending Marwyn, Bronn, and others.
Dany oneself also stepped back five meters, took a deep breath, and began to recite the Valyria magic spell in his mouth, and his mental strength went deep into the bottom of the volcano, triggering the Fire Element in the lava.
It's as easy as dressing and eating as an adult.
Her mental strength easily controls Fire Element and quickly converts Fire Element into her fire sorcery strength.
At this moment, Dany feels that oneself has become a god.
She can pry open the crust, lift up the island, and...
"Hoo-"
The frenzy in her eyes Disappeared, Dany took a long breath, expelled all the distracting thoughts in his mind due to the surge in strength, and returned to a state of calm as ice again.
"Boom!" The earth began to shake slightly, and the rocks crash-bang on the Dragon Den hills.
"Ah, there's an earthquake!" Old Crab shouted in horror, holding on to the pine beside him.
“Gududu——chi chi chi ——”
The hot spring pool water exploded, and the white steam suddenly increased tenfold, almost forming an air column that pierced the sky.
The naked eye is visible, and the water begins to lower.
"The volcano erupted, the underground volcano is about to erupt." Bronn was also frightened complexion pale, trembling all over.
Marwyn was very excited and loudly reassured everyone: "Don't be nervous, this is Queen's Magic, she is pulling the lava in the volcano to build the magic power channel.
Magic Power Crystal Tower To extract magic power from the lava, you must open the connection with the volcanic crater, which is actually the same as digging a well to get water."
This is the reason, but digging a well to get water is not such a big move.
"chi chi chi - 呲呲!"
In just ten minutes, all the water in the hot spring pool evaporated. You can see that the place where the spring water is spouting at the bottom has no water flow, but more water. A three-foot-tall pale-yellow flame.
Then, Dragon Queen chanted incantation again, smoothing out the rioting lava underground.
Finally, a layer of seal was added to the surface of the lava layer to completely isolate the Fire Element before recovering the mental strength.
"Okay. Bronn, while it's hot, arrange for someone to pour some icy sea water in."
Then, Dany turned his head again and said to Marwyn, "You tell Bronn how to dig Pit, it is best to dig the hole to...about 250 meters.
You will see a volcanic crater with a radius of 30 cm, and start from there to lay the foundation of the magic power crystal."
"Volcanic crater? Shouldn't Dragonmont's volcanic crater be there?" Old Crab pointed in the direction of the dungeon tower.
This is where Dragonstone's highest mountain is located and where it connects to the Dragonmont mine.
Dany also followed Old Crab's line of sight, glanced at the towering stone tower, and said: "Yes, the volcanic crater is under the dungeon tower and has been blocked by a 400-meter-thick rock layer, so we I always thought that the Dragonmont volcano was extinguished.
There is only one crack under this hot spring that connects to the inside of the volcano.
I am now expanding the crack and plugging the crack connecting with the sea water, Barely forming a tiny volcanic crater."
"Small mouth is good, small mouth is safe." Old Crab nodded again and again.
Dany wasn't idle while Bronn was leading the digging.
The construction process of the Magic Power Crystal Tower is indeed very similar to digging a well, but it is not a well that draws water from a bucket, but the pressure well used by every household in the rural areas of China.
The pressure well has a long pipe that goes deep into the ground, and the Magic Power Crystal Tower has to have an energy pipe that goes down to the lava level.
At this point, the surface is 300 meters away from the Fire Mountain Cliff slurry, and Bronn is digging 250 meters, so Dany has to build a 50-meter energy pipeline.
The main material of the pipe is Dragonglass.
Dragonglass is perhaps one of the most magical power-conducting materials in the world.
It happens that Dragonstone has a lot of Dragonglass, and with the Magic material that Marwyn bought from Myr, Dany used a mold to forge a wrist-thick, 50-meter-long energy pipe in just one afternoon.
Well, the texture of pure Dragonglass is too brittle, if it is 50 meters long, it can't even bear its own weight.
But after adding other materials and burning the Magic glyph, the energy pipes are much stronger.
However, Bronn's pothole was only five meters deep...
