The Defeated Dragon

At the Count's birthday party, it was most surprising to Lester that his relationship with Ronassa Golden Wheat was restored.

Perhaps this is the aristocratic instinct, after passion, to return to their own trajectories of life.

Do not interfere with each other.

Apart from some sentiment, he didn't have many other thoughts, so he took a short afternoon break and went back to Flowertown. It is always disturbing that the affairs of the territory are in full swing, without his presence as the backbone. On returning to the Territory, however, nothing emerged that needed to be addressed.

So he went straight to the bone burial site on Black Horse Island to extract Fire Dragon Magic.

Injecting Magic into the Fire Dragon Bone also allows the knights to help, extract the Magic of Fire Dragon individually and fill it into the Fire Dragon Tank, it can only be done by himself, after all, only he possesses the Magic Eye fighting secrets. Once the craftsmanship is sophisticated, canned Fire Dragon Magic speeds up.

It extracts about four tons of volcanic glass a day and fills almost eight canisters of firecracker dragon jars.

After extracting the firedragon's magic volcanic glass, it was immediately taken to the newly built crystal workshop in Port Town and handed over to the Crystal Artisan Brad sculptor.

Volcanic glass does not have crystal stiffness, but is much stiffer than glass and has good permeability for making glassware. Water glasses, glasses, tea glasses, teapots, bottles, glass, tubes, and small medicine bottles that store magic - all of these utensils are not sold to the public.

The reason is simple: volcanic glass has a blocking effect on the magic of firecracker dragons, allowing him to guess this material and isolate the magic of other dragons.

Then its value is hard to measure.

In his spare time, Lester also went to the blacksmith's shop to find blacksmith furnaces, blast bladders and charcoal for high-temperature experiments - glass that he remembered could melt and blow repeatedly.

So when Brad sculpted the volcanic glass, the residue was melted away and pinched into other shapes for secondary use.

Charcoal burns in the blacksmith's furnace, and servants keep stepping on the blast bladder, blowing charcoal from the furnace to burn. Volcanic glass was placed in a stove and burned in an iron jar - he was unsure of the melting point of the glass, or how many degrees of softening point it was, and if it was higher than the melting point of iron, the experiment would fail.

Fortunately, volcanic glass began to melt when the iron pot was just red.

Soon melted into a bright soft substance.

Lister ordered the servants to pour out the volcanic glass and place it on another piece of burnt iron. Then let a knight insert a tube of iron into the soft glass and blow it hard. The knight's lungs are very viable, blowing gently and the soft glass starts to expand.

When it expands into a sphere, Lester stops him and pulls the tube out.

Once the bottle is treated slightly, an ugly glass bottle comes out fresh. Then there was the master master of the firecracker brick factory, who came to help complete the annealing process - annealing was discovered by the workers of the firecracker brick factory who, after burning the bricks, had used water-spraying methods to cool them faster.

However, the bricks that water pours on are easy to break.

As a result, the workers, stimulated by the Lord's reward, after a long exploration, found a reasonable annealing process, which greatly reduced the crushing strength of the burned product. With ten workers, they were awarded ten silver coins each and became the first masters of the firecracker brick factory.

Upgraded from a simple worker to a qualified craftsman.

Because volcanic glass is a new product, the master master does not know what temperature is the right annealing temperature and can only slowly grasp it. But after the volcanic glass cooled, he volunteered to report to Lester: "Lord, there is one thing you do not know if you would like to know. ”

“You say." Lister has always encouraged the inhabitants to discover new things.

The master is not too old, about twenty years old, named Athester, a serf from the Kingdom of the Eagle: “You know the Fire Dragon Brick Factory is often looking for new materials to calcine, once the serfs of the Thorn Shop brought a kind of yellow and white rock, and you can still feel a little transparent in the light. ”

Listen carefully to Lister.

Ateste was nervous and looking forward to saying: “I threw this rock into the furnace and calcined it, but it was strange, and it quickly melted into a beach, and when I took it out, it quickly changed its appearance again… just like the volcanic glass that you annealed me to, it was just cloudy. ”

“Hmm?”

Lester's eyebrows started, “Like volcanic glass? ”

“Yes, it's also soft, it solidifies quickly, and it's a little transparent. I gave it to the masters of the brick factory to watch together, and everyone couldn't figure out what it was for, and it broke quickly, and we identified it as unsuitable for calcination and gave up this rock.” Ateste said.

His words were very touching to Lester.

If I'm not mistaken, the substance that Atester calcined is the glass he's been waiting for so long - the original glass made of quartz.

The stone brought by the Thornfish serfs must be the raw material of glass - quartz.

Lester had searched for quartz, and he had tried to fill all the stones and dirt in the territory into the furnace of the firecracker brick factory, but had never calcined the glass.

There was an impression that seaside sand seemed to make glass, but the result was disappointing, and seaside sand could not calcine glass.

The sand on the beach here appears to be grain debris from the weathering of ancient coral reefs.

Without knowing that the rocks brought from outside could be quartz ore, Lester immediately gave the order to hold Gorte in charge: “What you need to do, Counselor Gorte, is buy a batch of this type of rock that Atester calls, and then cooperate with the forged glass experiment, remember to keep it confidential. ”

“Sir, can this rock really calcine the glass, just like those cups you made with volcanic glass?” Gaultai is very confused.

“Yes or no, wait for the test before making a decision. ”

……

Quartz may have found that to please Lester, he can already imagine how the future glass, as a specialty of Black Horse Island, will amass wealth.

In an age of crystal expensive, small nobles certainly cannot resist the temptation of glass products.

Absolutely.

Until it was certain that the rock was a quartz mine, Lester was not oblivious, and he continued his volcanic glass experiments - to determine that the recalcined volcanic glass still had the effect of blocking the fire dragon's magic.

Fire Dragon Needle absorbs a little Fire Dragon Magic.

Shortly after injecting into the new Fire Dragon Bottle, he discovered that the Fire Dragon's magic was still in the form of magic, flowing quietly in the Fire Dragon Bottle without any leakage. This proves that the effect of volcanic glass blocking the dragon's magic does not change as it melts and deforms.

“So the volcanic glass on Black Horse Island is indeed of high strategic value and is likely to help me conquer dragons to complete my dragon riding career. ”

He thought beautifully.
