Chapter 530
Deziel isn't stupid, and at first glance understands what Ser Connington is up to.
As the farmer drives the cattle and pulls on the rope, the Sphinx statue's head gradually rises - as it has a tripod propped up in solid oak in front of it.
The pulley at the top of the tripod is higher than the Sphinx's center of gravity, and as the rope is pulled, it is equivalent to exerting a diagonal upward pull on the statue.
In this way, Sphinx lifted the bottom and moved a palm-width forward with difficulty, just pressing on the iron ball that had been padded before.
The iron ball crushed the stone bricks paving below and almost fell into the gravel pit.
Then, the pulley on the tripod is slightly lowered by one point, so that the angle of the pulling force remains unchanged. In this way, the statue advances half step...
As the statue breaks away from the soil The pit gradually pressed against a piece of iron ball, and the pulling speed became faster and faster.
Go over a piece of iron balls, and then take out the iron balls that were pressed into the stone pit at the back and place them in front of...
Before noon, Sphinx seemed to move seven or eight meters, jump on the Valyria stone path.
At this time, Deziel finally saw the Dragon Queen.
She descended from the sky on a Black Dragon, looking...with a helmet and iron armor, she couldn't see clearly.
What is striking is that Black Dragon is carrying a bundle of... a dozen or so tin blowers.
Because it's Andals and also from the Stormlands, Deziel became the little head of Ser Connington's command -- directing the herd to pull the statue.
In this way, he can also see the Dragon Queen up close.
Although she doesn't know why she is wearing a helmet all the time (of course, she is afraid of death, afraid of someone in the crowd shooting her a crossbow), but Deziel sees through the gap in the face armor that it is a very Pretty girl, big violet eyes, fair lustrous skin, tiny chin, silver hair that reflects in the sun.
There is no doubt that this is a Targaryen——Targaryen has purple eyes and silver hair, and looks more beautiful than ordinary people. It is known.
But what makes Deziel most concerned about is not Queen's appearance, but...she really knows Magic!
Deziel saw with his own eyes the Dragon Queen melted Dragonglass (he heard her say) and some strange Magic materials with his own eyes, and stamped some words (Magic glyphs) that he could not understand on the cleaned up Blackstone Great Way .
Afterwards, he moved the Sphinx statue above the text of the ghost picture talisman, and built a two-story castle with windows the size of eight buckets centered on the statue.
The castle made of red bricks and bluestone bars put the statues in, and then built eight two-meter-high small castles along the castle windows.
Now he understands that the small castle is actually a furnace with a blower attached to it.
A large amount of charcoal was loaded into the eight stoves, which were lit around 2:00 pm.
There were many caravans passing between Pentos and Norvos during the period. They were amazed and wanted to stop and watch.
The flames were burning, and the big newly built stove began to smell one after another hot and humid lime.
The lime on the wall was dried by fire, and even a crack appeared in some places - under normal circumstances, it should be slowly dried in the shade. High temperature baking will cause uneven heating and cracking of the wall.
But Dragon Queen only dug a lump of lime mud to cover the cracks and continued to burn.
Deziel understands what the Queen is thinking, this time she just wants to melt the iron statues, not really plan to build a steel furnace on the Great Way.
"Why doesn't the Queen use dragons to burn Sphinx like the 'Black Dread' Balerion burns Iron Throne'?" He couldn't help but ask the fellow Ser in a low voice.
Well, Ser Connington, who claims to be from Stormlands as well, has several points of closeness to him.
But when Deziel asked him if he was from Griffin's Roost House Connington, he shook his head and said nothing - Griffin's Roost Connington was related to Jon Connington, but not lineage.
"It's still heating." The Dragon Queen next to him glanced at him and said.
The Seven is on, and the Dragon Queen has spoken to him! !
Deziel was so excited that his face was flushed, his head was hot, his eyes were dizzy, and he was at a loss...
Fortunately, the Dragon Queen only said one sentence, then turned around and continued to stare. A giant iron furnace with blazing flames.
As truckloads of charcoal arrived from nearby estates, and as the people shaking the blowers changed batch after batch, the stoves began to spread a tidal wave of heat all around, and everyone began to back off. .
As the sky gradually turned yellow, the Dragon Queen chanted an incantation, the flames on the top of the castle stove shrank down, and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.
The speed of adding charcoal didn't slow down at this time...
Deziel didn't understand Magic, and of course he didn't know that after the temperature of the statue stopped rising, Dragon Queen used Fire Control to turn it on. The escaping flames transform into a restrained giant bell shape that envelopes the statue.
In this way, the temperature of the Valyrian Steel statue continues to rise, but the outside world does not feel much heat.
Before it got dark, the dragon finally began to breathe fire. Black Dragon and Green Dragon were like a relay race. You took a bite, I took a bite, and continuously poured the water-like Dragonflame into the fire at the top of the castle.
Dragonflame burned together with the charcoal fire for three full hours, and the open dark field was gradually bathed under a bright star.
For dinner, Deziel gets three sausages, two eggs, a loaf of bread, and a big bowl of beef, oatmeal, and carrot soup.
He ate happily, only to find that the Dragon Queen and her two Knights were not eating.
At midnight, Deziel was lying dozing on the stone path, when suddenly, a panic attacked his heart, as if a tiger sneaked beside him, opened his mouth and bit oneself's neck.
He woke up with a start, and the sleepy crowd around him seemed to feel the same way, and a call sounded.
With just one glance, Deziel noticed the source of the mutation: Black Dragon!
During the day, he intuitionally felt majestic and domineering like Spiritual God. At this time, he seemed to really become Spiritual God.
The appearance has not changed, it is still so hideous and terrifying, but the whole body exudes a kind of divine aura that is worshipped by others.
No, one more thing has changed, Dragonflame!
The blood-red Dragonflame turns into an extremely vivid glaze red.
If color can have life, glaze red will come alive at this moment.
Green Dragon stepped aside, only Black Dragon, a Dragonflame that spewed glazed red water.
Another quarter of an hour passed, "bang!"
Very suddenly, the huge castle-like masonry stove shook a few times, and something seemed to explode inside - almost at the same time , Rhoyne somewhere at the bottom of the river, set off a heaven overflowing giant wave out of thin air.
Before the two Knights were surprised to ask, Deziel was stunned to see Dragon Queen flustered and exasperated cursing: "Damn Valyrian, if you want to act cool, just pretend to be cool, and make a fake to fool thousands of people in the world. Years, are you embarrassed?"
——Dragon Queen at this time didn't know the true meaning of the Valyrian Steel statue, didn't know what oneself did, and couldn't hear the sound of Rhoyne dozens of kilometers away. The malicious "moo-ga-" beast roared. Some ancient beings escaped from the Valyrian's suppress and seal.
"Fake?" Her two Knights changed color suddenly.
“Valyrian Steel skin, scrap iron core, the steel inside has already melted, and when the fixed form of Valyrian Steel skin is broken open, like a broken soup bag, it bursts suddenly, and the juice splashes!”
>Dragon Queen sighed, iron boots stomping peng peng on the stone road.
Wait for the Dragon Queen to smash the brick that was in contact with the stone path—the thin layer of tiles near the edge of the stone path, and the bright red molten iron emitting blazing white rays of light immediately flowed out and flowed directly to the edge of the stone path in the sand pit above.
The stone road is a palm above the ground, and the sand pit dug in advance just catches the flowing iron juice.
Well, Dragon Queen arranged for someone to shovel away the upper layer of soil and lay a thick layer of mold sand.
The iron sauce made the sand pit screeching.
Even though the bunker had been baked with Dragonflame controlled by the Dragon Queen for a while, there was still a large plume of smoke rising from the land all around.
The smell of burnt stench permeates all directions, and the heat wave spreads recklessly.
Everyone's faces were glowing red and warm from the iron juice, but Dragon Queen continued to sigh like nothing was happening.
She rambled: "Too much, too much, so much molten iron, how many tons of Valyrian Steel are left..."
The bunker's The size and depth are calculated in advance.
A small pit is the size of a bucket, compacted with a standard mold, baked to dry out the water, and can hold about 500 catties of iron (Valyrian Steel is also iron, and its density is exactly the same as iron).
The pit is connected to the pit, the first pit is full, and the iron juice flowing down will flow down the thumb-thick notch above the pit wall to the next pit - the principle Same as the box for ice cubes in the refrigerator.
Since the molten iron was flowing, Dragon Queen herself jumped out of the pit and plugged the drainage slots of some of the pits with ceramic plugs.
Well, originally the pit had four walls, and the overflowing iron juice could flow to all directions, but now it is controlled by Dragon Queen deliberately, and the iron juice only flows to both sides, leaving the position close to the "faucet" to Valyrian Steel .
There are a total of 400 small pits of 20*20 reserved, 250 of which are filled with ordinary iron juice, the other 71 are filled with Valyrian Steel, and the remaining 25 pits are empty.
In other words, the Sphinx statue is about 80 tons, including 62.5 tons of ordinary steel and about 18 tons of Valyrian Steel.
Ordinary steel is gray-white and gray-black, but Valyrian Steel is smoke black that reflects a strange luster.
The two are clearly distinguishable.
"It's not too bad..."
Looking at the smoky iron bucket pulled out like a carrot by a sling, Dragon Queen finally smiled.
Well, when Dragon Queen flew from Slaver's Bay, she also brought 200 steel essence chains the thickness of a thumb and the length of an arm.
An iron chain is placed in two adjacent potholes on the left and right, and when the molten iron solidifies, a large iron ball is fixed at both ends of the chain.
A chain ball weighs 1,000 pounds, and only Big Black can lift it.
From midnight until the darkest three hours before Dawn, Big Black left the crowd with 34 hammers in a row, but returned with empty claws.
It is known that Valyrian Steel is too heavy, and the dragon cannot be taken away at one time, so Black Dragon hid it somewhere in the vicinity.
Deziel's heart moved, and he delivered 34 hammers in just three hours, and it took about five or six minutes to go back and forth.
In other words, Valyrian Steel is no more than 3 minutes' flight distance from Black Dragon.
And Black Dragon can fly 400 kilometers per hour with half a ton of iron ingots?
3 minutes, no more than 20 kilometers!
This...
He doesn't know the market price of Valyrian Steel, but a dozen tons of Valyrian Steel can definitely change a city!
The real value is priceless.
Deziel's eyes flicker, and then he sees a lot of people flickering.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear, and he quietly approached Connington: "Ser, you'd better let the Queen take the Valyrian Steel away sooner."
" en." Connington looked blank, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Deziel sighed and said nothing more.
But before Dawn, his kindness paid off.
Dragon Queen really promises, every farmer gets one or two gold coins (overtime pay at night).
And Deziel got 18 Golden Dragons, not Gold Honors, but a Westeros Golden Dragon for three Gold Honors!
Connington gave him all his Golden Dragons.
Only one is enough for him to pay off the loan at Illyrio, and there is more.
The remaining Golden Dragon can buy a large manor with hundreds of acres of fertile land.
Deziel finally embarked on the glorious road of a certain male protagonist--the son-in-law turned over.
