"We have arrived at West Port No.2 Pier. Passengers who wish to alight, please do so as soon as possible!"
Ah Sha stood in a daze on the clean and tidy stone road. She watched as the three-compartment wooden car came to a stop in front of her. Then, a total of five doors opened. Dozens of people squeezed out of the car, and dozens more squeezed onto the car.
Like the people of the Iron Islands, they no longer wore traditional robes. The men wore shirts or suits, and the women wore gorgeous whalebone skirts or simple dresses. They even wore women's suits like Danny.
However, there were also warriors wearing leather, mail, and armor. The styles were different from the past. They were more personalized, beautiful, and fit.
It was said that due to the improvement of smelting technology, the cost of steel was much lower than in ancient times. There was no need for a set of armor to be passed down for generations.
At the same time, modern martial arts were more advanced. Armor that was made to fit would expose fatal flaws.
Therefore, modern people would forge the most suitable armor for themselves according to their body shape and swordsmanship.
"Next stop, Second Ring Road, North City's Financial Street." Two men shouted from the front and back of the steam car. Then, a white column of steam began to rise from the front chimney.
"Woo woo woo — Kacha kacha kacha —"
Asha stood in a daze as she watched the car speed away on the strange track.
"Asha, Asha!" On the other side, Danny climbed onto a four-wheeled car and waved at her.
The four-wheeled vehicle was in the shape of a "T" with an open top and a T-shaped steel frame. The carriage and cabin were made of wood, and there were only two seats in the front. There was a chimney at the back that was emitting white smoke and a steam engine that was humming.
"Come on." Danny sat on the left seat and held the steering wheel.
"Is this a steam car? Why doesn't Pike City have one? "Asha climbed onto the right seat and looked around curiously.
"The car hasn't been mass-produced yet. This is Joffrey's new experimental product." Danny was reading a manual as she spoke.
"Joffrey is Lannister?"
"The heir of Casterly Rock, my senior."
"Why is his car here? Does our family have a good relationship with Lannister? "Asha asked doubtfully.
"He's pursuing me," Danny said casually.
"Ah, your fiancé?"
"No," Danny shook her head. "He's just one of my suitors."
Asha was stupefied.
"I almost understand it. It's no different from a public bus." Muttering, Danny threw the manual aside.
"Asha, get ready. It's also my first time driving a car. If there's an accident, I'm prepared to jump out. "
"What?" Asha was at a loss. She even fumbled around on the seat and asked, "Where's the seat belt? I have a seatbelt when I take the airship. "
"The seatbelt is a restraint. If we really get into a car accident, we should jump out of the car and run for our lives."
"Car accident?" This new term made Asha's hair stand on end.
"With the skills and reflexes of a Level 4 Grand Knight and a Level 3 Holy Knight, it's better to jump out of the car ahead of time than to leave the seatbelt to fate.
No matter how dangerous a car accident is and how unexpected it is, is it more terrifying than the sword of a Level 4 Grand Knight? "Danny said matter-of-factly.
Ah Sha felt that her words made a lot of sense, but …
"But I'm not a Grand Knight! And if you get into a car accident and kill a passerby, I'm afraid you'll go to hell after you die. " She said.
"Sigh, then I'll drive slower." Danny sighed.
"Chichi — Wooo wooo —"
The car slowly left the place and entered the wide Black Stone Avenue.
At first, Danny was still a little unfamiliar with it. But soon, she, who was proficient in bus driving, became familiar with the operation of the car. The speed began to increase, and even caught up with and quickly surpassed the railway bus that left before.
"The wind is so strong, slow down." Asha's eyes were a little hard to open because of the strong wind.
"Don't worry, I have the blood of a True Dragon. This bit of wind, this bit of speed, is nothing at all." Danny was a little carried away.
"I want to see the scenery, Lannister Port has changed a lot." Asha said.
Danny had no choice but to slow down to the speed of an ordinary carriage.
"The buildings on the street are all four stories, and they are all the same style and size. Why are they so neat?" Asha was puzzled.
"Uniform buildings, neat streets, it's easier to build a sewer and a water supply system, and it can also increase the land utilization and traffic efficiency.
Think about it, if a box of the same size is neatly stacked, can it hold more soap cubes, or can it be stuffed more randomly? "
After leaving Lannister Port, the car left the Black Stone Avenue and began to bounce on the gravel road like a jumping bean.
"The car's shock absorber is so bad." Danny complained.
The road to Casterly Rock City was wider, but there were fewer passersby. Asha's heart itched: "Can you let me try this car? I used to be the best captain on the Iron Islands. Driving shouldn't be harder than steering, right? "
"The captain is indeed more skilled than the driver, but you don't have magic power to start the engine."
Danny suddenly loosened one hand and pointed to the steering wheel: "Look, this is the magic input."
The main body of the steering wheel was curved into a circle of wood, and the surface of the wooden armrest was inlaid with threaded dragon crystals.
At this time, the surface of the dragon crystals flickered with a dark red light.
"What's going on? Isn't the steam engine powered by wildfire? Why do you need to input magic power? "Asha wondered.
"Look at the fuel tank in the back, isn't there two?"
"Not two boxes of wildfire?"
Danny smiled and said, "Neither of the two tin boxes contains wildfire, but when they meet, they can produce a magic reaction and produce wildfire.
The engine is engraved with magic runes that synthesize wildfire. The driver injects magic power into the runes through the steering wheel, and the two stable substances react with magic, turning into flammable, explosive, and ultra-high burning wildfire.
Then, the wildfire steam engine starts to run.
The amount of magic power inputted determines the speed of the conversion, and the amount of wildfire determines the speed of the car.
This technology was invented by the wildfire experts fifty years ago, and it was also fifty years ago that the wildfire steam engine became practical.
And the first wildfire-powered steam train was invented by the ancestor long before the long night. "
"Are you tired?" she asked. "Are you tired?"
"Why tired?" Danny asked curiously.
"You keep inputting magic power, aren't you tired?"
"Hehe, if I were to inject magic power like casting spells, how would I have the energy to talk to you?"
Danny explained with a smile: "The level of magic power is analogous to the level of flames. Ordinary flames are level one, wildfire is level two, the dragon flames of ordinary Megalosaurus are level three, the earth fire is level four, the sun is level five, the embers of the first fire is level six, and the first fire is level seven.
Level five is a true god, and level six is the Divine King. Asha, you can be resurrected, which means that the ancestor has surpassed the Divine King and touched the level of level seven God of Creation. "
God of Creation?
You can brag all you want!
Asha complained in her heart and said indifferently: "What does this have to do with the wildfire?"
"Listen to my explanation slowly. The ancestor is level seven, and the five gods Megalosaurus are about level four and a half. So, with their power, ordinary fire priests can also make level three fire magic liquid, right? "
"I don't know." Asha said honestly.
"Sigh, when we go to King's Landing, you have to study hard! You can treat wildfire as hard liquor. If you mix alcohol and water, can you blend it into hard liquor?
Although level three fire magic liquid has a higher energy level, it is very stable. Then, when mixed with level one fire magic liquid, you don't need to inject much magic power for them to blend into wildfire. "
"Of course, the mixing of alcohol and water is a physical reaction, and the synthesis of wildfire is a magical reaction. My magic power is equivalent to a catalyst."
"I still don't understand." Asha said with a wooden face.
"Forget it, let Joffrey explain it to you later. He is in the field of magic science."
Asha knew what the field of magic science was.
Under the physics department, it was divided into natural physics and magic physics. The chemistry department was the same.
The wildfire department belonged to the magic chemistry department of the chemistry department.
"So Joffrey is a science guy, I thought he studied finance." Asha said.
Danny showed a mocking expression, "Finance is a service-oriented industry, only muggles and civilians study finance and work for nobles after graduation."
"Lannister Port has the only financial street in the seven countries." Asha said.
"Even a top finance student who graduated from the Empire University can't play with a duke with three professional degrees, because finance experts can only adapt to the rules, but dukes can make the rules!
If any guy in the Iron Islands dares to speculate in finance, my father will catch him the next day and send him to the North Pole.
So, the heir of a great noble only needs to master basic financial knowledge, enough to manage a group of finance experts, there is no need to take it as a profession. "
Ah Sha was speechless.
In silence, the car entered the gate of Casterly Rock City. A tall old man with white hair led a group of men and women to greet them at the gate.
The old man was close to 2.4 meters tall, and the others were also tall.
"Ah, Grandpa Tyrion, who are you, I am not qualified for you to come out and greet me personally."
Danny was shocked when she saw the old man, and there was also a bit of fear in her shock.
"Haha, little Danny, don't flatter yourself, I didn't come for you." The old man winked at the girl, then turned to Asha and bowed solemnly: "Lady Asha, I am Messai's eldest grandson, known as' Giant 'Tyrion, it is an honor to meet you."
"Oh, so you are Messai's grandson."
Messai was half a generation younger in front of her, so Asha graciously accepted Tyrion's bow.
After that, the old man introduced her to his large family, more than 30 people.
"Sigh, time is the best medicine in the world, back then, your Casterly Rock City only had one son, Sir Jaime!"
The Lannister group felt a bit awkward.
But Giant Tyrion laughed, "Same to you, Greyjoy only had Sir Robb as his only son back then."
"Hahaha … …" Asha gave an awkward laugh.
After the greetings, the old man personally led her on a tour of the new Casterly Rock City.
The overall changes weren't big, only the details were more modern. There were steam powered elevators, Magic Crystal Lamps, water system, and other new things.
Oh, there was an additional stone sculpture of James the size of a house on the mountain wall halfway up the mountain.
"He is the Sword God!" Old Tyrion said in a respectful voice.
"Did Sir Jaime leave behind any secret cultivation manuals? I'm not trying to pry into your family's secrets, but the Sword God is too mysterious for me, so I want to know more. "Asha asked in a curious voice.
"The old master did leave behind some things, although they are secret sword techniques, you can look at them as you wish." The old man said this and excitedly brought her to the stone garden on the top floor.
Asha was surprised to find that there were several hundred swordsmen gathered on the two thousand square meter platform.
Everyone had a sword, sitting cross legged, or slowly waving their swords, or looking up at the stone peak in the garden. Asha's eyes hurt and she couldn't help calling out.
"Ah, what is that? It seems like a sword is slashing at my head, it hurts! “
"That is the sword technique left behind by great grandfather." The old man proudly said.
