The Defeated Dragon Chapter 228

Chapter 228 – Dragon Hot Spring and Air Conditioner

Although the productivity of this world is very weak and the scientific literacy is terrible, the absolute authority of the lord over the territory still made Liszt's work efficient.

After Marcus returned with the volcanic glass ore, he quickly asked the Flower caravan to bring in crystal craftsman Brad and begin to polish the volcanic glass.

The experiment started.

The first stage is to release and collect the magic of the fire dragon.

After consulting Gort and Marcus,it was decided that the magic in the bubble of the volcanic glass would be released by drilling. By drilling, the volcanic glass won't break while still releasing the dragon magic inside. The drilling task was given to the yet unknown Brad.

When the Dragon's magic is released, they would gather together to bring in the invisible Little Dragon.

The next step is to collect this magical little fire dragon and bound it into a vessel carved from volcanic glass. Liszt has already instructed Brad how to carve it. Because it doesn't need to be beautifully carved, the work can progress very quickly, also, Brad has more than enough number of hands to assist him.

Various parts would also be carved from the glass.

The parts would be assembled using powdered volcanic glass to fill the gaps and glue it all together. The jar would be dense and water-tight and also has a thick handle — it would be called the dragon jar.

To verify the sealing of the dragon jar, Liszt deliberately released the fire dragon magic.

The jar is sealed.

There was no trace of fire dragon magic leakage and the nature of the volcanic glass has a restraining effect on the fire dragon's magic, making it unable to condense and even escape.

Liszt moved on to the next step and handed Brad a drawing of the structure of a glassware. "The next step is a way to fill in magic for energy use."

Brad looked at it for a long time, but did not understand,”Master Baron, what is this? Can you explain it in detail?”

"You can't see it clearly? This is a large syringe. Outside of the cylinder is the syringe jacket. This slender rod with a pot lid in front of it is the syringer putter. The putter makes sure that the jacket fits tightly so that when you push the rod, the contents of the syringe will be sprayed through the front needle."

Injections weren't invented in this time period yet so it took a long time for Brad to get the structure of the thick and thin barrel of syringe Liszt had designed.

 The next step is sculpting and splicing to complete this large syringe.

The largest piece of volcanic glass is only the size of a basketball, but the syringe needs a lot of material to be spliced together. Brad has carved crystals for many years, and his technique is extraordinary. The hardness of volcanic glass is much less than that of crystals, so he made them very fast. In two days, the large syringe was made by splicing the clips together.

Liszt took over the large syringe and started the next experiment.

He aimed the syringe at the coat-like aura of the magical little fire dragon as it condensed into a half-human height form. At that time, the magical fire dragon was starting to disperse so some magical power had also entered the syringe. He then quickly put on the putter, and a needle “filled” with the magic of the fire dragon was born.

The needle was inserted into the fire dragon jar through the round hole, then the core rod was pushed, the magic force in the needle cylinder continuously compressed and was injected into the fire dragon jar.

A little bit of the Dragon Magic was leaking out through the cracks.

But most of the magic was poured smoothly into the dragon jar.

They repeated this operation until  all the fire dragon's magical powers were released and quickly filled into three fire dragon jars. Through the vision of the Magic Eye, the fire magic inside the fire dragon pot condenses to light red to gold color, and when it does, the Dragon Magic cannot continue to be poured into the jar as it has reached its limit.

Roughly a ton of volcanic glass ore could release two dragon jars worth of dragon magic.

The volcanic glass ore brought by Marcus was about six tons, so it can fill twelve fire dragon jars. “Brad, make twenty standard jars then make five larger jars. Add another twenty smaller jars after. “

The twelve standard fire dragon cans will be used to encapsulate the magic of fire dragons, and the remaining eight are reserves.

The five larger jars and twenty smaller jars are to be spares as well.

Liszt called the syringe device the Dragon Needle. "In addition, make two more of this model of syringe and then make two small syringes as well.” 

———

Brad continued to make glassware.

Liszt continued to study the fire dragon magic. With the fire dragon needle and the fire dragon jar, he could move, divide, and recover the magic fire dragon at will.

After his research, magic from a fire dragon the size of a palm would be enough to boil the cold water of a bathtub.

Half-palm size of the small magic dragon can make water in a bathtub from a sub-zero temperature to maintain a water temperature of forty degrees [1]. This temperature is just right for bathing. However, the bathtub and hot spring are separated from the bathtub and the heating water tank, so in the heating water tank, it was best to put a small magic dragon the size of a full palm.

After five days, the castle successfully owned a bathtub and a hot spring. That night, Liszt soaked in the bathtub for more than an hour.

When he had felt dehydrated from the heat, he left the bathtub.

The valve of the heating water tank was loosened, and hot water kept flowing out, which the servant scooped out using a bucket. With these leftover bath water, the servants can take a bath downstairs.

Liszt opened the bathroom window and the lid of the heating water tank.  He did not take out the small fire dragon, but just let it fly in the heating water tank. The little fire dragon's ability to heat the air was not very strong, so even when it was let out, it did not burn the bathroom.

He and the dragon headed to the bedroom surrounded with box-like structures.

The dragon kept the room at a comfortable physical temperature of 24-25 degrees [2]. He put in a basin of water to prevent everything from completely drying, and the whole bedroom was as warm as spring.

The Fire Dragon was a constant temperature air conditioner.

 “Mr. Carter, these boxes have been arranged in a magic circle. You tell the servants in the castle, don't touch them randomly. When you wipe the dust, you can only wipe the outside of the box.”

“Yes, sir.”

Appreciating his outstanding work of several days, he could not help but express his emotions. “The modernization of the castle has made good preliminary progress with light, air conditioning, and a bathtub…..If I can get the magic of the Ice Dragon, maybe I can make a refrigerator, if I can get the magic of the Wind Dragon, maybe I can make an electric fan……”

Thinking of the Wind Dragon, he remembered vividly that the Wind Roar Valley of the Glorious Empire existed with the magic of the Wind Dragon.

“I don't know if the volcanic glass can encapsulate the magic of the wind dragon.”

 It is a pity that the Glorious Empire was on the other side of the continent. Even if they begin the journey immediately with the Dragon Horses, it is estimated that it will take at least the half a year.

Besides, he doesn't know where else a dragon has left its magic. The dragon will probably only leave magic when it dies, or when it bleeds — the invisible dragon passed through Flower Town and ate two cows, leaving no magic except a space gem.

In this way.

The bathtub and hot spring were completed. It's the smoke task's turn now and two bath houses need to be built.
