Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 122 Son of Fire

The group continued downwards.

Wise Man Halin was introducing the capabilities of the Alchemist's Guild and the advantages of wildfire to the King.

Joffrey smiled and nodded, while using magical sound transmission, "Tyrion, is the strength of King's Landing enough to wipe out the rebels?"

How could Tyrion say no.

"Now the lords of the North have gathered more than 20,000 troops, heading north, not south." Joffrey was indeed quite unhappy.

Although he had personally agreed to the North heading north, the attitudes of these lords before and after were too different.

They only scraped together a few thousand people to deal with him, but they did their best to help Stark, which was simply a blatant slap in the face.

And Duke Eddard Stark not only acquiesced to the isolation of the North, but also did not get enough support from the Riverlands and the Vale.

With Eddard's status and reputation, he should have had more influence over the Riverlands and the Vale.

But until now, the Vale has basically remained completely neutral, and the lords of the Riverlands have not fully responded to the call, only the supply of materials has not been delayed, but they have not charged a penny less.

In order to support more than 20,000 soldiers, in order to fill the stomachs of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, not only the national treasury, but the entire wealth of King's Landing is rapidly losing.

With such a level of support, who would have thought that the royal family and the Starks were close allies by marriage?

Joffrey knew the most fundamental reason.

The rumors of Renly and Lysa ultimately made Duke Eddard suspicious, coupled with his disgust for the Lannister family and his disdain for political tactics, Eddard still chose to escape.

If it weren't for Sansa and Jon and others staying in King's Landing, and the existence of divine grace, perhaps Eddard's performance would have been even more negative.

Joffrey couldn't help but wonder if it would be more valuable to marry into Highgarden.

At least the Tyrells are really willing to give troops.

"The marriage with the direwolf was supposed to bring peace to the Seven Kingdoms. However, the support from the North is almost the same as before."

Only a dozen years ago, many lords in the Riverlands and the Vale chose to resist their liege lord for the Targaryen royal family, which was at greater risk and at a greater cost.

Facts have already verified the thoughts of the lords of the Seven Kingdoms.

Although the Baratheon family inherited the Iron Throne with a part of the Targaryen bloodline, the lords did not completely transfer their centuries of loyalty to the new royal family.

The Seven Kingdoms are already at odds.

Joffrey gave Tyrion the final answer, "Whoever contributes more is qualified to sit in a better position."

Tyrion couldn't help but ponder.

Could it be that Joffrey is planning to change the marriage contract? Is this wise?

Tyrion was very worried, but he was not foolish enough to ask. Silence was the only option.

The slope of the tunnel gradually leveled out.

"Your Majesty, the Iron Torch Corridor is ahead." Halin's voice had a mysterious flavor, "The mystery of wildfire lies within."

Tyrion peered forward through the gaps of several figures blocking the way, emerald light shining through the gaps.

The group finally walked out of the tunnel.

In front of them was a narrow and empty corridor, the walls and ceiling were made of black marble, but at this time it was shrouded in emerald green fire, exuding a strange luster.

Tyrion looked up into the distance.

On both sides of the long corridor stood pairs of black iron pillars, a full two feet high, and green flames were dancing around these iron pillars like torches.

So this is the "Iron Torch".

Halin explained triumphantly, "Using these iron torches, the guild can produce a considerable amount of wildfire every day. Now, this number, hehehe, is a full two hundred jars."

Two hundred jars. Thinking of this number, Halin still couldn't calm down.

Two hundred jars, a monthly output of six thousand jars, which is comparable to all the guild's reserves over the years, enough to support a huge battle.

How many people will be infected with wildfire and die in agony.

Tyrion shook his head and sighed, "What a magnificent iron torch, but unfortunately, today's output will probably be greatly reduced."

Just looking at the green light and green fire, Tyrion could imagine the amazing consumption of wildfire.

Halin looked at the king flatteringly, "Your Majesty's presence, no matter how much it costs, cannot reflect the guild's excitement and gratitude."

Joffrey was noncommittal, "What I want today is not wildfire, you are ready."

Halin nodded repeatedly, "Of course, how dare I rashly disturb Your Majesty without making the most adequate preparations. The rituals and spells are all ready."

In order to attract the king's attention, Halin carefully searched through the ancient books of the guild for a whole week, and finally collected every piece of knowledge to perform the lost magic, just waiting for an experiment.

"Your Majesty, it's in the hall behind the corridor."

Halin diligently led the way, occasionally turning his head to tell the glorious history of the guild, guaranteeing that this time he would definitely satisfy His Majesty the King.

Joffrey casually looked at the iron torches on both sides, with emerald green fire reflecting in his eyes.

He was not unfamiliar with this corridor.

Although this was his first time to the Alchemist's Guild, he had observed it many times with magic.

He had also seen the secret of wildfire long ago.

The main raw material for making wildfire is a viscous black liquid, like unprocessed oil.

The pyromancers poured it into the hollow interior of the iron torch, and then mixed in a certain proportion of sulfur, rosin, and resin, and initially fused several raw materials at high temperature.

At this time, the overall liquid was black-green, and then it was input into a secret room deeper through a pipe connected to the iron torch.

The pyromancers chanted spells here, making strange gestures.

Joffrey quickly noticed that the movements of the pyromancers had some similar rhythms to Melisandre's dance.

After that, familiar紋路 appeared in the air,紋路 similar to the fire rune图案, the same as Melisandre's at that time.

Do alchemists and the Lord of Light have a connection?

Or other powerful beings with the power of flame?

He continued to observe.

The runes in the air began to sprinkle colorful starlight, and the starlight merged into the large tank filled with oil in the center of the secret room, and the uppermost layer of the liquid gradually turned emerald green, which was wildfire.

Colorful starlight.

He immediately realized the key, what kind of magic is this? Isn't all magic pure monochrome?

This is a major discovery.

After that, he asked Melisandre to perform more spells. Most of these spells emitted monochrome light, and a few also had colorful light, and the effects of the spells seemed to be more complex.

Can higher-level runes create different magic, thereby achieving more refined and diverse effects?

Joffrey's doubts increased instead of decreasing.

If this is the case, why divide so many kinds of runes? Just use one kind of rune.

Or is there indeed an almighty rune, but I haven't seen it?

The answer is not certain.

The wildfire in the iron torch was burning fiercely, and Joffrey looked forward.

In any case, the direction of advancement of rune magic has been marked. Higher-level runes, since they can be seen, must be obtained.

What needs to be done now is to collect runes, accumulate background, and wait for that opportunity to come.

Halin, who was leading the way in front, stopped.

The Iron Torch Corridor had been left behind, and where the group was was a circle of high platforms, and below was a wide hall.

Joffrey looked down.

Dozens of people were arranging the layout of the ceremony.

Halin prayed devoutly, "May the gods bless, may the Son of Fire be born smoothly."

Joffrey was also looking forward to it.
