The Knight's Journey to the Empire

At the foot of the Seagull Castle, there is a lounge where visiting guests can take a short rest.

This lounge was specially built by Seagull Castle to provide a rest area for visitors who need to wait at the foot of the mountain or are not qualified to enter Seagull Castle.

Of course, this lounge can also be used to receive guests.

For example, normally, when people from outside come to look for the servants of Seagull Castle, they are usually asked to wait here for the servants to come down.

After all, the area within Haiou Castle belongs to the private territory of the nobles, and not everyone can set foot there at will.

……

At this time, in the lounge at the foot of the mountain, Director Fisher was waiting anxiously.

The reason why he came to find Sauron this time was because he had found the clues about saltpeter and sulfur that Sauron mentioned, and he also brought back some real objects for Sauron to verify.

Originally, he ran to the White Bear Territory excitedly, ready to report to Soran in person.

But when he arrived at White Bear Territory, he was told that Soran was not in White Bear Territory, but was staying in Seagull Castle for a while.

So he had no choice but to rush back, and at the same time he was filled with worry and anxiety about whether he could meet Sauron.

Because he seldom came to private castles of great nobles like Seagull Castle, and he didn't even have the chance to talk to them!

Fortunately, not long had passed before Fisher saw a carriage slowly driving down the winding mountain road and finally stopping in the open space in front of the lounge. Baron Soran then stepped out of the carriage.

So Fisher ran out to greet him.

……

"Hello, Baron Soran!" Fisher greeted warmly.

"Director Fisher, it's been a long time!" Soran said with a smile.

"Yes, Baron Soran, we haven't seen each other for nearly half a year!" Fisher couldn't help but sigh.

"So Director Fisher came to visit me this time. Have you found any information about sulfur and saltpeter?" Soran asked directly with an expectant look on his face.

After all, time is also extremely precious to him nowadays, and he really doesn't have so much time to waste.

"Haha, Baron Soran is really smart! Your guess is right, I did find out the news about sulfur and saltpeter, so I came to you!" Fisher responded with a smile.

"Oh! Then tell me quickly!" Soran's voice rose an octave involuntarily, and he seemed a little impatient.

Of course, it is normal for him to be so excited!

After all, gunpowder is a hot weapon!

In the era of cold weapons, this was a powerful weapon that was enough to shock the entire era and dominate the entire continent!

One sulfur, two nitrate, three charcoal, add a little sugar, Big Ivan!

Mastering them is equivalent to mastering the code of absolute power and wealth!

Just imagining this can make people feel excited and excited!

So it is understandable that Sauron is so excited!

"Baron Soran, don't be impatient! Let's sit inside first and talk slowly! I have brought the real thing back specially, and I am going to authenticate it for you in person!" Fisher smiled slightly, pointed to the lounge next to him, and made a gesture of invitation to Soran.

Hearing that there was a real object, Soran immediately said: "Don't worry, Fisher, as long as what you find is right, I will definitely not be stingy and break my promise! What I promised to give you, what I promised to pay you, I will definitely give you every penny!"

"Thank you, Baron! Thank you, Baron!" Fisher thanked him repeatedly, his face full of joy.

He seemed to have seen the title of "Lord" being added to himself, and his whole body became visibly refreshed.

Because just now he was really feeling very anxious and frightened!

So I was afraid that Sauron would not keep his promise and go back on his word!

After all, so many major events have happened during this period of time, even a war of annihilation has broken out!

So in this chaotic world, what is impossible to happen?

……

Soon, both parties took their seats, but there was no excessive greeting.

Fisher took out two bulging bags from his backpack and placed them on the table: "Baron Soran, these are the items I found based on what you said about the characteristics of sulfur and saltpeter!"

Fisher then skillfully opened the two packages slowly, and what came into Soran's eyes were two packages of gravel of different colors.

One pack is bright yellow in color, while the other is off-white in hue.

Fisher then pointed at the two packages and said with some certainty: "Baron Soran, this yellow package is most likely sulfur! And this grayish-white package is most likely saltpeter!"

After saying that, Fisher pushed the two packages in front of Soran and asked Soran to check them!

Soran carefully picked up the two bags of gravel, then gently took some powder out of the bag with his fingers to look at it, and finally put both bags of powder under his nose and sniffed them carefully.

Soon he recognized the smell of saltpeter.

After all, Sauron was a rural child in his previous life, and he had worked in the fields himself.

Therefore, he naturally had a deep memory of the unique smell of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

As for the yellow bag, he also smelled a pungent odor, and the color and texture of the stones were similar to what he had seen in chemistry class and on the Internet.

Of course, judging by smell and appearance alone is not accurate enough, and further attempts are needed to determine the actual effect.

Soran continued to ask: "Director Fisher, these two things should be saltpeter and sulfur! So where did you get them?"

Fisher scratched his head and replied with a smile, "In the past six months, I took a caravan to Innatkirchen County, and we did a lot of good business there."

"But speaking of these two things, I found the sulfur in the warehouse of the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce branch in Innertkirchen County. When I saw it, I recognized it at a glance and thought it was what the Baron was looking for."

Then, Fisher said with great interest: "As for saltpeter, I found it in the goods of another chamber of commerce."

"They told me that this stone would become cold when it came into contact with water. I found it incredible when I heard it! Then I thought about what you said, Baron, so I paid special attention to it. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Fisher said this with a look of relief on his face.

Soran nodded and continued to ask: "Where are they produced? Have you found out?"

If we knew the origin of sulfur and saltpeter, it would be less troublesome to make black powder in the future!
