Chapter 300 Influence

The impact of the Red Comet continues to ferment. For other places, it is okay. It only generates some rumors. For example, the Red Comet is a star of disaster, and its appearance heralds that the world will fall into turmoil.

But for Midsummer Hall, the impact of the Red Comet is more far-reaching. Not to mention that the Mage Association, Tranquility Court and the Church of the God of Magic under him have begun to play their due role. The impact on the Black Cave alone has already Linde had to put down other things in his hands and stay in the black cave for several days, working with Mo Luoya on various experimental materials in the black cave.

In the past few years, the Black Cave has conducted many kinds of experiments. Those experiments either failed completely or the results were unsatisfactory. Only a few experiments achieved the desired results, and the vast majority of them were related to magic potions.

Although those experiments failed, Linde did not cancel the experimental projects, but temporarily sealed them, because he knew very well that the reason why those experiments failed was probably related to the surrounding environment, and those experiments required a An environment full of magic, and he happened to know that magic would return to the entire world of ice and fire after the red comet appeared.

Therefore, when the Red Comet appeared, Linde, who had appeased Glory and Gluttony and sensed that Diltos had fallen asleep, went to the Black Cave to restart the sealed failed experimental projects and transferred a large number of equipment from the Serenity Courtyard. manpower, while conducting these experimental projects.

The result of the matter was just as Linde expected. Many of the failed experiments that had no response before began to show responses. Although there is still a long way to go before they are truly successful, at least the situation is going towards what Linde expected. direction.

However, the appearance of the red comet does not mean that everything is good.

Some of the usable Valyrian runes that Moroya and others had previously developed were out of control. These Valyrian runes were originally used to make magic weapons, but with the emergence of the Red Comet, these Valyrian runes were originally used. The very stable magic runes showed signs of magic disorder after being activated. The chaotic magic power of several runes even accumulated together and caused an explosion, killing three master craftsmen who were skilled in carving magic runes and ten people on the spot. Several apprentices who were about to be born had suffered heavy losses.

In order to avoid more casualties, Linde could only suspend all rune engraving projects and conduct experiments himself to find out the changes and solutions to the runes one by one.

"Rune No. 73, the effect is distorted. We need to continue the balance test experiment to test the method of fixing the stable state." After Lind completed the test of the last rune, he gave the follow-up experimental plan and asked the wizard on the side The assistant records it.

"It will be faster to use guided testing experiments." Moroya gave a different opinion and said.

Linde immediately vetoed: "No, guiding the test experiment will accelerate the unstable state, cause the rune magic power to riot, and put the people conducting the test in danger. The test results can be obtained slowly, and people must be safe. After all, cultivating a qualified The time, energy and financial resources spent by the mages are too great.”

Moroya said nothing more, and then gestured to Coburn, who had been waiting beside him for a long time, and Coburn stepped forward to report the results of his recent experiments.

Among the experimental middle schools with many black caves, apart from Moroya's magic potion experiment, Qyburn's undead warrior experiment was the least affected, and at the same time the most beneficial.

Because among the experiments being carried out in many black caves, Qyburn's undead warriors are the best experimental subjects, and the various magical technologies added to the undead warriors in their experiments have also strengthened the strength of the undead warriors in disguise.

For example, the undead warrior that Qyburn reports to Lind now has abilities similar to those of a lava dragon due to a parasitic experiment in the ruins of Valyria. His heart is molten, and his body has become as responsive as the Unburnt. The resistance to flames or high temperatures has reached an astonishing level, and the most important thing is that once his people attack, both his body and weapons can generate extremely high temperatures. Overall, it looks like a perfect weapon to deal with the White Walkers.

After listening to Cobain's report, Lind didn't quite believe it, so he asked Cobain to take him to have a look.

Soon Qyburn led Lind to outside his laboratory and showed Lind the lava undead warrior he had just obtained after the experiment.

Looking at the undead warrior in front of him, whose body was covered with charred skin and whose heart was like lava, Linde couldn't help but think of a certain weakling Sandaime.

"Show him his fighting skills." Lind ordered while thinking wildly.

Qyburn immediately had the undead warrior equipped with weapons, and then found other undead warriors as his opponents.

As a result, as Coburn said, the combat ability of this lava undead warrior has not improved much, but every time he attacks, flames will appear on his body, and the flames will also attach to the weapons and armor, giving him an extra The layer of flame enchantment does not reflect its power when fighting other undead warriors, but if placed in the army of ghouls, they will have a strong restraint effect on those ghouls. As Coburn said, they are the best way to deal with aliens. The perfect weapon for ghosts.

Lind then asked a key question: "Is this lava undead warrior an occasional exception, or is there a complete and safe method for mass production?"

Coburn thought about it seriously and said: "Two undead warriors have already completed the parasitic transformation. They used the same method and should be able to be mass-produced."

"Should it?" Lind understood the meaning of Cobain's words and said, "What is the success rate?"

"Now we can probably do about one-tenth of it." Coburn said, lowering his head slightly.

"So low?" Linde looked at Coburn, then at Moroya, and said, "Continue the experiment until the success rate reaches one-half."

"The experimental materials are somewhat insufficient." Coburn said again.

Linde frowned and said, "I remember I sent you a batch not long ago?"

Coburn said with an embarrassed look: "The potion used when the Red Comet appeared was abnormal, and all the experimental subjects were poisoned to death."

Linde couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "Then continue to wait. The next batch of experimental subjects will not be delivered until a month later."

Moroya on the side suggested: "Actually, there are many inhumane guys in the war taking place in the Riverlands. We can actually..."

Lind looked at Moroya and said: "I said I would not intervene in the civil war of the Seven Kingdoms. If I send people to the Riverlands to arrest people now, it is equivalent to breaking my oath."

Seeing that Lind had made his decision, Moroya did not try to persuade him any more and could only shrug at Coburn.

After leaving Qyburn's laboratory, Lind went to several relatively important laboratories to understand the situation. When he returned to the castle, Jon, Bert and Moose were already waiting in the castle. .

"What's wrong? You three all showed up with serious faces. Did something big happen?" Linde looked at the three of them and asked doubtfully.

Jon handed the information in his hand to Lind and said, "It is true that something big happened, but it's not our side, it's the Essos continent."

Linde took it and looked at it without much surprise on his face.

This intelligence information comes from Slaver's Bay. It records what happened on the day the Red Comet appeared. At the wedding banquet of Khal Drogo and Daenerys, an assassin blocked the tent door while everyone was celebrating the wedding banquet. They set the tent on fire with wildfire and burned all the people in the tent to death. Only Daenerys the Unburnt survived and successfully hatched the three dragon eggs given to her by the Red Temple. Gained the allegiance of the Golden Company and the Dothraki.

In the information, there is no mention of who did the killing. There are many speculations, including Linde himself, because it is not uncommon for Linde to use wildfire in war, and he is the only one in the world who can do it. to steady-state wildfires.

However, after seeing the assassination, Linde already knew who planned everything.

The person who planned this assassination should be Robert Baratheon, who had already died in the assassination, because he was the only one who bought two wildfire bombs from Linde, and Linde only sold these two wildfire bombs.

Therefore, if the information speculates that the assassination was related to him, it is not an unjust accusation against him.

Three lives were exchanged for three dragons, and Linde once again felt some kind of power called fate slap on his face.

When Moose saw Lind reading the information, he immediately asked: "My lord, Daenerys Targaryen actually has three dragons at the same time, and she also has the allegiance of the Golden Company and Khal Drogo's khalasar. We Do you need to do anything?”

"What to do?" Linde asked.

Bert suggested: "While Daenerys's baby dragon hasn't grown up yet..."

"It's not necessary, it's just three dragons." Linde shook his head and said: "The appearance of the red comet has had various impacts on the world. Soon more dragons will appear, as well as various other mysterious things. There is no need to make such a fuss about the test. Even if the three dragons are fully grown, they will not pose any threat to me. "

Seeing Linde's behavior like this, everyone couldn't help but try to persuade him.

However, although Lind didn't care about Daenerys having three dragons, he didn't want Daenerys to appear in Westeros at an inopportune time, so he still asked Jon to tell him to collect more dragons and dragons. Information about Daenerys.

Afterwards, Lind said that he would leave Summer Hall for a few days and leave the affairs of Summer Hall to Jon and others. He did not need to pay attention to the affairs of King's Landing and the other seven kingdoms. He only needed to take in as many people as possible from the Riverlands. Just fleeing refugees.

After giving instructions on various matters, Lind directly rode the lava dragon Neltharion and flew away from Summer Hall Castle towards the other side of the Narrow Sea.

He flew to the Essos continent not to go to Qarth to meet Daenerys, nor to go to Narsa to meet Nymeria, but to go to the ruins of Valyria to check on the situation of Diltos .

Ever since the red comet triggered the magic tide a few days ago, Lind has been feeling that Diltos fell into a deep sleep. If the place where Diltos was sleeping was a safe place like Summer Hall Castle, Lind would be fine. There is nothing to worry about, but the problem is that the place where Diltos sleeps is in the ruins of Valyria, which is full of unknown and strange creatures. Will the magic tide caused by the red comet affect those things in the ruins of Valyria? He was not very clear about the impact, so he needed to go to the ruins of Valyria to understand the situation, and if necessary, take Diltos out of the ruins of Valyria.

Perhaps because of the sudden increase in magic power, the lava dragon's flying speed was much faster than before. It only took an hour to fly from the Summer Hall to Tyrosh.

When the lava dragon flew over Tyrosh, everyone couldn't help but look up, because the scene when it appeared was really shocking, with flames all over its body, and when its wings flapped, the flames spread out in all directions, making its size even bigger. It seemed to have grown several times larger. At the same time, it was dragging a trail of black smoke mixed with sparks as it flew. It felt like the entire sky was on fire. It looked like a hellish monster.

Lind stayed in Tyrosh for a while and had someone feed Neltharion some molten metal. Although the magic power in the lava heart propelled the lava dragon to fly, it still needed to replenish the lava heart with some lava-like objects.

When the news of Daenerys hatching three dragons reached Tyrosh, some people in Tyrosh thought this was an opportunity. They could let Daenerys and Lind fight, and they could use this to attack Lind. Apply pressure to get some power back from him.

However, when they saw the lava dragon controlled by Linde, the illusion in their minds was quickly dispelled. They did not think that a normal dragon would be an opponent of this hellish monster.

These restless Tyroshi people don't know that some of their actions after having those little thoughts have attracted the attention of the blood armored people in the city. The blood armored people have marked them and will come to them when necessary. .

Linde did not stay in Tyrosh for too long. After feeding the lava dragon, he continued on his way.

Along the Orange Coast, we flew over Volantis, then passed through the Valyrian Bay, entered the coast, and came directly to the ruins of Valyria.

The moment he entered the ruins, Lind felt something unusual, because the volcanic ash and poisonous smoke that were originally suspended in the sky seemed to have become much lighter. In some places, sunlight could even penetrate and shine on Valyria. On the earth.

In addition, the magic power in the ruins has also become much more stable, unlike the extremely chaotic magic power that Lind felt when he first entered here.

For example, Linde can now use the Rune of the Nameless King to absorb part of the external magic power and convert it into the power of the rune, unlike the last time when he was completely unable to absorb such magic power.

Since he hadn't been to the ruins of Valyria for several months, Lind didn't know whether all these changes were due to the appearance of the red comet or the fact that Diltos absorbed the magical power of the special account here.

After sensing Diltos's location, Lind flew directly over. After seeing Diltos lying on a huge black stone, the serious expression on his face relaxed a little.
