Chapter 124: Clouds of War

There was an additional wizard in the Kingdom of Gondor, and when there were only a few people, Lin Xuan was named the chief court wizard. At the same time, he was given the status of honorary nobles. Denehao also respected Lin Xuan very much, which mainly originated from the statement of two court wizards. According to them, the power that Lin Xuan showed in the hall was enough to kill everyone present at that time.

But respect is respectful, Lin Xuan has no chance to participate in the empire affairs. He just stayed in his yard like a mascot and fiddled with some strange experiments. Yes, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is just some strange experiments. After all, he is just a wizard of unknown origin and is still in the observation period.

But if Saruman did this again, he would find that Lin Xuan was obviously an alchemy item. And it was once recorded in an ancient alchemy book in Osactar, called Gunpowder.

In the entire Lord of the Rings, gunpowder was used on a large scale only once. In the Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley, Saruman's powerful orc legion used gunpowder to blow up the walls of the Holy Helmet Valley. It can be seen that gunpowder is just a secret alchemy formula in this world and has not been popularized.

A violent explosion interrupted the palace's discussion, and the shocked guards ran to the origin of the explosion behind the palace. Until a guard came to report that it was the mysterious wizard conducting some kind of alchemy experiment.

This aroused Denehao's interest. In the eyes of most people, only witchcraft can achieve such effects as explosions.

Everyone came to Lin Xuan's independent courtyard and saw that the garden was full of scattered stones, as if it had passed through some kind of battle. But everyone could not imagine what kind of battle could cause such a degree of damage. Could it be a battle between wizards?

At this time, Lin Xuan came to everyone with apologies with a look of apology. "I am really sorry for my Majesty. I am conducting an alchemy experiment, and the results have alarmed you very much."

"Please conduct such a dangerous experiment in the palace." A guy who looked like a minister around Denehao seemed to want to please the boss and scolded him first. Unfortunately, Denehao didn't seem to appreciate it, but was quite interested in Lin Xuan's research.

"I'm curious about what kind of research can cause this effect. Can I see it?"

"Well, of course, it's OK. But I'd like to invite you to stay away. This thing is a bit dangerous."

Lin Xuan took out a small ball-shaped iron can, and there was a strange rope connected to it. A ball of flames appeared on Lin Xuan's fingers and lit the rope. A spark came out, and the rope became shorter in a way that was visible to the naked eye. At this time, Lin Xuan threw the iron can out. The moment the rope burned out, the iron can also landed on the ground.

A violent explosion sounded, and a rockery not far away was shattered. Lin Xuan's special high-explosive gunpowder was first displayed in front of people in this world. Almost all the guards were frightened by this explosion. They drew their long swords and stared at Lin Xuan vigilantly. However, Denehao waved his hand to stop them.

He was a knight and had experienced more than once in battle. At the first moment, he realized the military role of this alchemy. With this thing, the strong castle is no longer safe. In the deepest way, this thing may occupy an important part of the revival of the kingdom.

"Can you make it in batches? Lin." Denehao couldn't wait to ask the question he was most concerned about, which was related to whether it was used as a killer weapon or as a conventional weapon to kill all sides.

"Of course my Majesty, this was originally the gift I prepared for you. But now it is not very complete. I also need to make a little modification on its trigger device to ensure its safety and practicality."

"Haha, those are all small problems. I believe you can do it. I specially arranged a team of people for you, and they will satisfy you if you need it. I hope that this kind of alchemy item can quickly enter production. By the way, what is his name?" In fact, gunpowder now has extremely high use value. Even if Lin Xuan cannot be transformed successfully in the end, it will be respected enough. Of course, the so-called soldiers who obey his command are just different from their intentions.

"I call it gunpowder. Your Majesty."

"Gunpowder, a very appropriate name. Starting from today, gunpowder will be the highest secret of the Gondor Kingdom. No one in charge of any leakage today." Denehao issued some orders to ensure the confidentiality of gunpowder. Although it was a bit late at this time, the movement of gunpowder was too great. It is estimated that a lot of news has been reported to the palace, but as long as the recipe is still in his own hands, everything will be fine.

Lin Xuan's status was significantly improved. After offering a killing weapon like gunpowder, Lin Xuan gained a substantial position and became a role such as an advisor around the Regent. He began to attend some important meetings.

"News came from the north again. The pale orcs are ready to move. What do you think."

"I don't think there is anything to worry about. With most of the Middle Earth in the middle, can they still fight here?"

"Once the pale orcs cross the northern mountains, the first thing they face is Changhu Town. With the armed forces of Changhu Town, there is no hope at all. Once the orcs stand firm, the entire Middle-earth world will face threats." This is the point expressed by an inexplicable and unknown general, which can be said to be quite accurate in describing the general situation.

"If the Dwarf Kingdom was still there, they would never have crossed the Lone Mountain."

"They are gone, but the Dwarf Legion is still there. The Hill Dwarf's heavy infantry legion is not far from there."

"And what? Are we going to pay for the dwarves to fight a battle that has nothing to do with us?"

"It's not irrelevant, it's a war about the entire Middle-earth world."

"What about Smaug? That giant dragon. Shouldn't it be in Gushan? It's the only way for orcs to march into Middle Earth."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally someone refuted.

"It's been so many years. Maybe it's already dead. There's no movement from it in these years."

"It's not dead." A strange voice interrupted everyone's discussion. When everyone looked back, they saw that the king's wizard consultant was speaking. Even if this oriental man named Lin Xuan became a consultant, he rarely participated in this discussion. This sudden opening of his mouth made many people look at him.
