Chapter 213
Speaking of which gun is easy.
But in Song of Ice and Fire World, which has a low industrial base, it is very difficult to actually operate.
There are problems with barrel material, inner wall polishing, robustness, durability, etc.
Steel is not enough to forge armor and longsword. I have seen the gunpowder made from saltpeter and sulfur are powerful. King and Hand of the King disagree that Maesters consume these things in experiments.
Bronze Fire Gun did it successfully.
The lifespan is low, the loading of ammunition is cumbersome and slow. It is ignited with a match, and the rifling is barely accurate. The effective range is up to 50 steps, and the projectile cannot be stuck. It must be reloaded every time it is launched. .....
Clearly there is a more advanced blueprint design and production method for flintlock muskets, but only this is not much more advanced than muskets, and the formidable power is also touching.
Even if the scientific development of Westeros has taken a big step.
Arthur is so happy that he does not raise.
As for the various questions about muskets, you can answer one after another. If you don’t understand, try to tell your own understanding. As for the completely unknown, we can only discuss it.
There are limitations of the times.
The road of scientific development is still very long, and they have no shortcuts to take, they can only step by step and take it slowly.
It's busy time again.
Arthur does not mix with Academician and Maester every day to study science and discuss how to make firearms, or to study Battle Qi, try to break through the limit awakening to master this power.
"His Royal Highness, I want to tell a bad news."
After dinner, Arthur was about to go to the Academician and Maester to promote scientific progress, Hein Rikai suddenly came over .
"What's the bad news."
"The people from Iron Bank are here, and they want to see you."
hearing this, Arthur immediately thought of her in the cloth Lafos’ deal with Iron Bank also thought of Maria Aunt, who was assassinated by the Faceless, and the missing little maid Vanessa.
Suppressing the uncomfortable thoughts, she shrugged and asked: "So, as my Miss Fiancee, should you be with me?"
"No problem."
p>The beauty led the way, and Arthur soon saw the Iron Bank messenger received by the Hand of the King, Prince Stannis and Crown Prince.
As for King?
He is either playing with women, or studying Battle Qi with Barristan or Bronze Jon, practicing martial skills to improve his strength.
No time for trivial matters.
"Hi Your Majesty, I am Brad Fortune Rhaegar from Iron Bank, and I am here to discuss loan issues with you."
Arthur did not show much enthusiasm, coldness nodded responded: "Hello."
Then each minding their own business pours a glass of wine, takes a sip, and says: "I know you are here to get the soap making method. Mortgage is meaningless. I*|sell it to you at all.
But I only need food, think carefully before bidding!
Because Princess Maria was assassinated in Braavos and is coming back The voyage was poisoned and murdered, and my fiancee was even more injured by the Faceless.
The Faceless, funded by your Iron Bank, you can’t even control your own dog?
I'm very angry!"
This remark was suggested by Heinlikai when Arthur came over. She wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on Iron Bank and strive for more benefits.
Only, compared to the so-called benefits.
The teenager is more concerned about the poisoned Princess Maria and Heinlikai’s injury!
He was really angry for Ryan and Varian’s mother, and his good Aunt was poisoned to death by the Faceless!
More hurt and anger from friends!
Able to represent Iron Bank to meet the Holy Lorraine Royal Family, and the prince who mastered the invention of numbers, Brad Rhaegar is not a simple who.
At a glance, the prince was really angry.
Moreover, his imposing manner is so fast that he can't breathe, obviously if he doesn't give a satisfactory answer, he will never give up.
Holy Lorraine Royal Family owes a lot of money to Iron Bank.
For this representative, Hand of the King Eddard, Stannis, who is notoriously bad-tempered, will not offend him. Ryan even suppresses his emotions about the mother.
But Arthur don't give face like this, they are a little worried.
After all, one third of the current food comes from Iron Bank. When the winter in the south of Westeros, the whole continent cannot produce food, so you can only buy it from the Iron Bank opposite the Narrow Sea.
In order for countless people to have enough food to survive, they dare not hate the representative of Iron Bank.
Heinlikai quickly touched the prince with his elbow.
But he ignored him, just picked up his glass and looked at Brad Fr Rhaegar coldly, waiting quietly for an answer.
The first time.
Neither Eddard, Ryan or Heinlikai have ever seen a gentle and friendly teenager who would use his strength to put pressure on people in this way.
Brad Rhaegar's forehead started to sweat.
took a deep breath said: "His Royal Highness, the Faceless Man has been out of the control of our Iron Bank. We are extremely sorry for the assassination and assassination of the imperial concubine and your fiancee, I... "
"I understand."
Hearing this nonsense, Arthur immediately interrupted the Iron Bank representative in a cold voice, "Just tell me the price for the soap manufacturing method."
"This..." This is the first time that Brad Rhaegar has encountered such an unfriendly situation. He can feel the invisible pressure. He who is brow beaded with sweat dare not answer.
Slightly hesitated: "We are willing to invest another ten thousand Golden Dragon to buy out the soap manufacturing method, and your Highness can no longer sell it to others."
Arthur hearing this I took out the pre-written formula, threw it to the Braavos people, and said: "Yes."
"I can even take the initiative to discount half, and only charge five thousand Golden Dragon."
"As long as you exchange five thousand Golden Dragon for grain and send it to Eastern Seawang, I will pay off with Iron Bank."
"As for the huge arrears of the Iron Throne, I believe You have sent someone to King's Landing to negotiate, and Cersei Lannister will give you a satisfactory account."
"Other arrears, Hand of the King Eddard will talk to you."
Speaking, his gaze became extremely sharp: "The hatred of the faceless, I will definitely come to Braavos to report it in person!"
It's useless to spread the anger on Iron Bank.
Even if I am dissatisfied with them.
But the teenagers are sane, knowing that they need to buy supplies from them during the long winter.
But this does not mean that the anger in his heart will be calmed down!
Not to stop here!
Looking at the prince who got up and left without looking back, Iron Bank represented Brad Fr. Rhaegar brows tightly knit.
Heyin Rikai hurriedly followed him, and sighed with a complex expression: "You don’t need to be like this. There are people in the world who owe Iron Bank money. Their power is actually not much weaker than the kingdom. Offend this whole The world's coin bag is not good.
What has happened is irreversible, you should make it a thing of the past."
When Arthur heard the words of the female knight, Arthur frowned and stopped: "Do you want to let it go?"
"Otherwise?" Contempt appeared on Hein Likai's face: "Go to Braavos to find revenge for the Faceless?"
Arthur ignored the female knight's contemptuous expression and stared at her eyes: "Did you forget your injury?"
Hein Rikai shook the head, did not answer, only changed the subject:" It’s so irrational for you to offend Iron Bank and declare war with the world-renowned faceless killer."
"But your injury..."
female knight aroused The corner of his mouth smiled: "Didn't you say that there is a cure?"
The young man suddenly lowered his head and dared not look at the girl who had promised anymore. His voice was full of helplessness and powerlessness: "But I don't have any The method will cure you, and if it takes too long, you will also lose the chance to recover completely."
Hearing this, Heinlikai was taken aback, holding the palm of the young man, and said firmly: "I I will be by your side with Annie."
