Heavy snow falls and cold wind blows.

Kasai breathed nervously and stomped his feet in the snow, waiting anxiously for the envoy from King Yashen.

In fact, he is just an ordinary scholar in Turin. His job was to prepare the gunpowder used to fire the fire arrows. But he was in an unexpected deployment. However, gunpowder with stronger explosive performance was adjusted according to a new ratio. The gunpowder production that time almost broke his hand.

But after that, he realized that the gunpowder might have another use.

Although it is too violent to be used in a fire bolt, it may be used as an explosive for a bomb.

Thinking so, Kasai secretly made a batch of new gunpowder and did some experiments. As a result, he was surprised to find that the explosive performance of this new type of gunpowder became very strong, and it was not a problem to crack mountains and rocks.

But after that, his act of making gunpowder without permission was discovered. But before he was imprisoned, he reported the situation of this new type of gunpowder to An Dang, the immediate official in charge of managing them. An Dang was also a scholar, and he clearly realized the significance of this new type of gunpowder. So he immediately bailed Kasai temporarily, and wrote an urgent letter to his teacher.

After his teacher received the letter and the gunpowder sample, he did not ignore the matter, but quickly conducted two experiments. After confirming that An Dang's narrative was basically consistent, he knew that human life was at stake, so he took the risk of reporting the matter directly to Solomon Shi without doing a lot of additional experiments.

If any of them procrastinated a little bit, or even a little cautiously, the amnesty would probably only see the cold and stiff corpse stuck in the wind and snow—and the gunpowder party itself would be cut off because of this.

Kasai is grateful to An Dang and An Dang's teacher. Therefore, when he heard that Yashen was going to send envoys to verify this new type of gunpowder, Kasai invited An Dang to accompany him to demonstrate. The implication is to distribute half of the credit for oneself. The two of them are at the agreed time. Waiting outside the city for the arrival of the messenger. Without waiting too long, they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from afar.

Kasai and An Dang's faces gradually revealed expressions of astonishment. Among the guards of more than forty people, there were three extremely luxurious carriages surrounded by one big and two small ones.

...The two of them vaguely guessed something.

"Excuse me.

After a moment of hesitation, An Dang still raised his voice and asked: "Is it the messenger from Yashen?" After a short silence, the smaller carriage opened, and Tuping stepped out from inside. Did...Tuping take the lead? Anton was taken aback.

Although Kasai didn't know the old man, An Dang, who was born as a supervisor, recognized the wisest and greatest supervisor in history—he was even the emperor's only teacher. However, after Turpin got out of the car first, the door of the other compartment opened, and their beloved queen Yastaloh also got out of the car. And opened the door of the largest compartment.

With Yastaru Duanqin's support, Charles stepped out of the carriage.

He wore a short jacket made of otter skin to protect his arms, chest and back from the cold, and a white coat inlaid with golden patterns and a thick golden sword. With Charles' physical fitness, he didn't need to wear such clothes. heavy. After all, his body is now flowing with the blood of Yastaru, even if his chest is bare, he will never catch a cold.

However, although Yastaru knew this well, he still put on heavy clothes for Charles. Work until life is exhausted. Lead to perennial physical weakness. And the person who took care of him at that time was Staru.

Almost two thousand years have passed since then, and she still hasn't forgotten it. "It's ok...I'm not so weak now." He raised his head and nodded to the people who came to greet him.

"Yes, we are the envoys of Yashen.

He said calmly, and nodded at Kasai: "Your name is Kasai, right? Thank you for your hard work, I think your invention is of epoch-making significance. So I came here in person. Charles smiled: "Thank you too up. Can save Mr. Casser from the gallows. It is undoubtedly the result of each of us trusting each other.

Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor! "

An Dang knelt down on the ground in fear, and then Kasai woke up from the dream-like consternation, and knelt on the ground with An Dang. His forehead was pressed tightly against the cold snow, but he still felt dizzy in his head. They were originally waiting for an envoy from Yatan to inspect the results, but it was the emperor himself who did not expect to arrive.

Although according to the code specified by Charles. Unless you are a sinner, you only need to half kneel when you see the superior. If it is to specifically express unconditional surrender, that is another matter.

An Dang himself was born in Solomonism, and now he is an official. It is only natural for him to bow down to the emperor as he yearns for power. But he was a little surprised to see Kasai kneeling on the ground too.

In fact, Casser bowed down to Solomon I, not imitating An Dang's actions, but wishing and worshiping from the heart.

Kasai didn't even think that one day he would actually be able to see this great emperor with his own eyes...or even be able to talk to him.

Just thinking about it like this made Kasai so excited that he could hardly speak. Charles' voice has a strange power. Before Kasai and the others realized it, their bodies moved spontaneously.

"I want to apologize to you, Kacey.

Charles said calmly: "Because the law I made almost took your life... and because even if I knew about this situation, I would still not amend this law. My leak here is the same at this time. It will still be the same in the future. .”

With that said, Charles smiled slightly and emphasized: "But your invention is different.

"You have created new value from something that can only be used to kill. I am very happy. Because of the development of technology, it should not be for more efficient slaughter.

"From bronze to steel, from slings to crossbows, to trebuchets. People's technological development. It is always the first to be applied to weapons... Gunpowder is the same. But relying on more powerful weapons alone does not Let people live better." Charles said calmly: "And if your gunpowder is used to dig mountains and quarry rocks, it can save a lot of manpower. The manpower saved can be used to produce more food. Feed more people—this is undoubtedly an invention that can truly benefit the people."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Kasai as a tribute: "You have done a good job, Sir Kasai. I am proud of having people like you."

Cassie nodded in a daze after hearing the words, and looked at Charles not knowing what to say.

Suddenly his eyes filled with tears for a moment. He quickly wiped it off, and a bright smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, please follow me."

Kasai choked up and said, "Let me demonstrate it for you."
