Iron Powder and Spellcasters

   Chapter 116 Fire Tornado and Galloping Horse

  So, what is the truth of the fire dragon burning the city?

   This question has plagued Winters.

   According to the citizens of Guitu, the Fire Dragon Burning the City is the masterpiece of a mysterious wizard;

   According to religious people, it is the punishment for the sinner of moral corruption.

  In any case, people firmly believe that the fire dragon burning the city is by no means a natural phenomenon.

   On the one hand, Winters did not think that this matter had anything to do with magic, and that night the casters tried to reverse the direction of the wind out of goodwill; but on the other hand, he also did not think that an ordinary fire would call out a fire tornado.

The man in front of   , wrapped in a robe and sitting on a stool shivering, claimed to have learned the truth about the fire dragon burning the city.

   Winters was desperate for answers.

  Axel was also curious.

  Christian opened the drawer and started rummaging around.

   Winters and Axel looked at each other, the unsolved mystery was about to be revealed, and the two were suddenly a little nervous.

   Christian just pulled out a pipe. Then he carefully filled the cut tobacco, lit it with magic, and took a nice puff.

   Winters and Axel watched with wide eyes as the instructor went through the entire smoking routine.

   But Christian's expression was very intoxicated, as if he really just wanted to smoke.

   "Teacher..." Winters couldn't help it, and just wanted to ask.

   "Pfft." Christian puffed a puff of smoke on Winters' face.

  The spicy smoke was accidentally sucked into the trachea by Winters, causing him to cough and cry, and the small living room of Christian's house was suddenly filled with smoke.

  Winters felt like he was being teased, he asked slightly dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing..."

   "Shh." Christian put his index finger to his lips, motioning Winters to be quiet, he pointed to the top of his head and whispered a word: "Look."

   Winters and Ike looked at the smoke.

  Christian shakes his fingers slightly, one circle, two circles, three circles...a wonderful thing happened:

   First, starting from a point in the center, the chaotic smoke seemed to have a soul suddenly, and began to spin in mid-air. Follow the rhythm of Christian's fingers, one lap, two laps, three laps...

  The smoke is like a whirlwind, rotating to form a ring structure. Instead, there is no smoke in the center, like the eye of a calm hurricane.

  The ring of smoke turned faster and bigger, until it finally exceeded the limit of Christian's control and suddenly collapsed.

   Winters was stunned, but Axel was dazed.

  Ike pointed to the top of his head and asked in confusion, "Is this... magic?"

   "Yes, magic." Christian took a sip of his pipe comfortably.

   "Oh, it's very interesting." Ike said with a smirk: "So this is magic, doesn't it seem like nothing?"

"Be respectful!" Winters grabbed Ike's arm and swallowed involuntarily: "This is...unprecedented...this is magic I've never seen before. It's powerful, really powerful. "

   Laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway.

   Obviously, Christian used kinetic energy magic. It is not difficult for the caster to change the kinetic energy of an object.

   Almost all kinetic energy spells are nothing more than speeding up, speeding up, speeding up something.

Although    is simple and efficient, it is also brainless, rude, and has no depth at all. So much so that some casters who specialize in fire spells sourly refer to kinetic spells as "maul spells."

   means that kinetic energy spells are like sticks, and no matter how big the sticks are, they are also sticks, and there is no technical content at all.

   Being able to control invisible smoke with arm-like precision is an amazing skill in itself. The same level of magic skills Winters has only seen in one person, that person is Moritz van Nassau.

   What's even more incredible - spin?

   Rotation?

  The existing kinetic energy spells do not have the effect of rotation, and kinetic energy spells are all straight.

   Accelerating an object in one direction is enough to test your spell skills. As for the rotation...not blind, random random motion, but controlled rotation, Winters has no idea how to achieve this effect.

  Spin...fire tornado?

   "Is this the spell that summons the fire tornado?" Winters asked excitedly: "Is the fire dragon burning the city caused by this spell?"

  Axel was also taken aback, and followed Winters to look at the teacher.

   "No." Christian exhaled. Strangely, he stopped shivering while smoking: "This is the result of my research in recent months. Fire Dragon Burning City has nothing to do with this spell."

   "Then what happened to the fire dragon burning the city?" Ike finally couldn't bear the teacher's narration, and asked straight to the point.

   "Oh, you want to know that?" Christian said in a flat tone: "It's very simple, the reason for the fire dragon burning the city is very simple, I'll show you and you'll understand."

  Christian put down his pipe and rummaged through the box to find a thin-walled glass cylinder and a small candle holder.

   Winters noticed that when Christian Instructor took his hand off the pipe, his body began to tremble involuntarily. Winters was suspicious, but said nothing.

  Christian put the short-burning candlestick on the table and covered it with a glass cylinder.

  The candle was only burnt very short, and the candlestick was only ten centimeters high. The height of the glass cylinder is half a meter.

  Christian snapped his fingers and lit the candle, and asked Winters, "Will the Wind Repel?"

   "Yes." Of course Winters would use this most basic kinetic energy spell.

   "Follow my movements and send the air in." Christie sniffed recklessly, and said listlessly, "Slowly do your best, don't blow out the candles."

  While Winters wondered how to supply the air, Christian reached out and "unpacked" the glass cylinder.

Only then did Winters and Ike discover that the glass cylinder on the table was actually made up of two identical semi-cylinders, as if a very sharp sword had split the complete glass cylinder in two vertically. .

  Christian staggered the two parts of the cylinder, revealing two symmetrical slits in the glass cylinder that was originally tightly seamed.

   "Royal Wind, do it with me." Christian gestured to Winters with a spellcasting gesture.

  Winters cooperated with the teacher and activated the wind control technique at the same time, and each sent wind to a gap. Winters tried his best to control the magic output, a little afterburner.

   When the magic-driven wind gradually increased, a wonderful scene happened.

  The candle began to burn violently, and the originally stable candle flame actually began to rotate and extend upwards. Winters recalled Andre's description of "a flaming snake rising toward the sky".

   In the glass cylinder in front of him, a pocket flame snake rose into the air, and the flame tongue at the top even jumped out of a glass cylinder that was half a meter high.

  Christian waved his hand lazily: "Okay, stop."

   But when Winters and Christian stopped casting spells, the fiery snake did not disappear. There was still a thin red line visible to the naked eye in the glass cylinder, until the candle was burned out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   "Fire... Fire dragon burning the city?" Axel stuttered in surprise: "But this is too small, right?"

   "Yes, this is the 'fire dragon', and it is the same thing as the fire dragon that burned the Victory Arsenal." Teacher Christian yawned, grabbed his pipe and started smoking again.

   "You mean... the burning of the city by fire dragons is a natural phenomenon?" Winters raised his eyebrows.

   "Yes, and no." Christian spit out a smoke ring: "If you have to say it, it is a man-made natural phenomenon. Alas, I will show you a picture and you will understand."

   Before he finished speaking, Christian began to rummage through the boxes again, and finally pulled out a roll of dusty kraft paper from the top of the bookshelf.

   He spread the vellum on the desk, and Winters and Axel took a closer look at the table, and immediately recognized what the parchment was.

   is a map, the map of Guitu City. To be precise, it was the old map of Guitu City before the fire. The Victory Arsenal also occupies more than half of the port area, and the city is still a disorganized and unplanned onion structure.

   "A fire tornado will be formed when you send wind to the fire source at a certain angle. In fact, it is a whirlwind with flames." Christian wrapped in a robe that reached the ground and pointed at the map with a pipe. His eyes were blank, but his speech was very clear: "The buildings in the fire field that day acted as air ducts. We used the magic-driven wind and the sea breeze from the sea to converge on the fire field, thus forming a fire tornado."

   Winters recalled the situation that day, and Axel suddenly realized.

But before Christian finished speaking, he continued to mutter: "The fire tornado is a positive feedback system. The fire tornado will **** in air from the surrounding, and the more air that comes into contact with the fire source, the more the fire will burn. The more the fire burns. The more prosperous, the bigger the fire tornado will be. In the end, it will burn... until everything that can be burned is burned."

   "Isn't it a coincidence that the fire dragon burned the city! It was a mistake that caused the fire tornado to appear. But the superiors made you a scapegoat... Why didn't you defend yourself in a book?" Axel slapped his thigh angrily.

   "Self-defense? What's there to defend yourself?" Christian's expression was very strange: "The fire dragon burned the city because of the spellcaster's reversal of the wind, why should I defend myself?"

   "So, the fire tornado is just a coincidence and cannot be reproduced?" Winters suddenly had a little regret.

   He always thought that if he could unlock the secret of the fire dragon burning the city, there might be an additional "fire tornado technique" in the spell caster's spellbook.

   However, according to Christian, the fire dragon burning the city was just a coincidence, and the fire tornado technique seemed hopeless.

   "Recurrence?" Instructor Christian sniffed again, and said an astonishing sentence: "Of course you can."

   said, Christian found another candle and lit it.

   He squeezed the casting gesture without even looking at the candle. And the flame of the candle actually swirled and rose again, like a pocket fire tornado in the glass cylinder just now.

   "Well, this is it." Christian said lightly.

   Winters was already stunned.

   "After I figured out the fire dragon burning the city, I found that the rotation is very interesting." Christian yawned again and asked Winters: "Student Montagne, do you think there are several types of acceleration magic."

  [Note: Christian has not yet touched the "Notes of Antoine-Laurent", so he still uses the old name, referring to "kinetic energy spells" as "acceleration spells"]

   "Uh, isn't it one kind?"

"No, it used to be one, but now it's two," Christian replied. "One is the acceleration you learned, linear motion, which I call linear acceleration [linear kinetic energy]. The other is I just showed you the rotational motion, which I call angular acceleration [angular kinetic energy]. Do you know what that means, Montagne student?"

  Christian's story shattered Winters' understanding of magic and completely overturned the alliance's existing kinetic energy spell system. But his tone was like saying "it's so hot today".

  Axel was completely stupid, he couldn't understand what the two people in front of him were saying.

   Winters was still digesting the teacher's words, and his brain almost stopped: "Uh...I don't know."

Christian knocked the soot and continued his shocking speech: "This means that Antoine Laurent is wrong, your training method is wrong, and the training of all alliance spellcasters is wrong. Angular acceleration and Linear acceleration is two abilities, but when you were trained, you regarded it as one ability, just like training your hands and feet as one limb. Student Montagne, what do you think is the essence of deviance?"

   "Applying an acceleration to an object perpendicular to the direction of its motion." Winters reflexively recites book content.

"Wrong, student Montagne, wrong." Christian patted Winters on the shoulder and said in a class tone: "The essence of declination is to use angular acceleration to rotate an object. You use linear acceleration to release Deviation, it's like imitating the pronunciation of the ancient language in common language. It's not clear, and it has an accent. Or to put it another way... It's like drinking soup with a spoon. Montagne student, so you think What is fire tornado?"

   The deadly series of questions made Winters's mind stop completely. He seemed to be back in class again and was called up to answer the questions in succession.

  Christian asked himself and answered: "Fire Tornado is actually a composite spell of a deflection spell and a wind-proof spell. Do you understand? Go back and practice, and you will be able to do it."

  The living room fell into a dead silence.

   It took a long time before Winters spoke.

   "Teacher, do you know what you just said?" Winters even trembled a little when he came back to his senses.

   "What what?" This time it was Christian's turn to wonder.

"You deconstructed kinetic energy spells! Deconstruction, real deconstruction, complete deconstruction, finding patterns and principles in chaos. This is an achievement that Antoine Laurent has not been able to achieve! Magic Warfare Bureau ...The Alliance should give you a one-ton medal!" Winters was so excited that he was already incoherent.

   "Oh," Christian replied casually.

  …

  …

   On the way back to the dormitory, Ike said to Winters in confusion: "I still don't understand why you are so excited. It doesn't seem like it? It can make things spin... Is this very powerful?"

"It's very powerful, and it means a lot." Having left Christian's house, Winters' excitement still hasn't subsided: "You know what? Maybe the imperial court mages would have used fire tornadoes long ago, but they will always be just' They will never understand the mysteries. And the power of the spellcasters of our alliance comes from reason, and we are eager to know the laws of all things. The more we know about the laws of this world, the more we can do There are many, so our potential is endless. From Antoine Laurent to Christian, the magicians of the old days will one day be left behind by us.

   Winters came to see Christian today for another purpose. Everything today was a windfall.

Winters originally wanted to ask something more related. He wanted to ask the former director of the Spellcaster Teaching and Research Office: on the night when the fire dragon burned the city, whether dozens of spellcasters used spells together caused some unexpected changes, such as... Increase, expand.

   After seeing Christian, Winters couldn't even guess that maybe it was because of the spell overload that night that caused his sanity to be abnormal, because it was probably Christian who actually channeled the spell that night.

   But Winters held back and did not ask.

   Because he realized that if Veneta wants to build his own military academy, maybe... maybe now is the best time to "invite" Teacher Christian to Veneta.

   But if you want to bring Christian to Veneta, you can't make the province realize the value of Christian Huygens.

   And if Christian can dig out the answer to Winters' question, it may mean more to Alliance spellcasters than the discovery of angular kinetic energy...

  …

  …

  When Winters and Axel returned to the dormitory, two interprovincial officers in the uniform of the colonel were guarding the door with a group of unfamiliar soldiers.

   is not an officer student, but a soldier, a real soldier, a strange face.

   "You guys! Come here!" Seeing Winters and Axel, one of the mustache commanders snapped, "You two are Veneta?"

   "I am, he is not," Winters replied. The term 'Venetas' made him very uncomfortable.

   Hearing the answer, the mustache Colonel pointed at Winters and shouted: "It's him! Catch him for me!"

   Five or six soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed over to restrain Winters.

   "Why arrest me!" Winters was furious, but he didn't resist and couldn't resist, and was **** by the soldiers.

  Axel didn't know what was going on, so he pressed his anger and asked, "Sir! We just took a walk in the school for a while, and we won't arrest anyone, right?!"

"Shut up!" Moustache came forward and gave Ike a big slap in the face: "You took people away privately, and you haven't settled the account yet! Go to the Military Law Office by yourself! I'll clean up you when I'm done here. !"

   Ekko stood still.

   Mustache gave Ike another slap in the face: "Go away!"

  Axel of Orange gave the mustache Colonel a deep look, saluted, turned and walked in the direction of the Military Law Office without saying a word, looking back at Winters from time to time.

   Another school official rode a horse to the door of the dormitory, followed a long way and asked loudly, "Have you found it?"

   "I found it!" Moustache replied hurriedly: "It's all, I found it all."

  The riding schoolmaster glanced at Winters, and Winters responded with a look full of anger.

  The riding schoolmaster sneered and waved: "Take it away!"

  Mustache escorted Winters to the gate of the Military Academy, where several carriages were parked. It was one of those special carriages that transported prisoners. The carriages were dark, huge, reinforced with steel bars, and had no windows all around.

  Mustache pointed to a carriage, and the soldiers pushed Winters inside.

   There was a chaotic sound in the carriage.

"Who?"

"what happened?"

   "Who is here?"

   "It's Winters!" André's irritable voice sounded: "It's Winters Montagne!"

  The car had a small window with iron railings on the top, which let out a little light. In the dim light, Winters saw that there were other people in the carriage—other Veneta contemporaries.

  The classmates hurriedly untied the rope on Winters' body, and Winters asked Andre calmly, "What's the matter?"

  Andre replied irritably: "I. He. Mom doesn't know either... 左. His. Mom's Union Province country bumpkin"

  After the door was closed, there were several more metal bangs, apparently with multiple structural reinforcements.

  Not long after Winters got into the carriage, the carriage began to move.

  Without windows, Warrant Officer Veneta had no way of knowing where they were going.

   shouted, no one listened.

   Abusive, no response.

  The carriage drove until nightfall and then stopped.

   Winters listened carefully to the sounds outside, as if changing horses.

   Mustache's face appeared from the bars on the roof of the carriage, and he was supervising the soldiers stuffing water bags and bread into the carriage.

   "I want to pee!" Andre yelled angrily.

   "With a bucket." Mustache replied.

   "I'm going to shit!" Andre was even more angry.

   "Also use buckets."

   "I. Grass. Mud. Horse!!!!"

   "I thank you for my mother."

   "Where are you taking us?" Winters asked sternly. He doesn't look angry anymore, or too angry to see his anger.

   "Where are you going?" A strange smile appeared on the mustache's face: "You are going to Palatu, the country of galloping horses."

   The Scroll of Galloping Horses, of course, is in the Land of Galloping Horses.

   Christian's cognition is still limited by the times. The formation of large fire tornadoes is not only related to the fire field, but also to atmospheric conditions, but he has made considerable progress.

   I drew a schematic diagram of his fire tornado experimental equipment, and those who didn’t pay attention can look up.
