The smell of gunpowder is a euphemistic way of expressing it.
When Lorne saw Kayla twisting a little bit and wanted to smell it, Lorne was going to stop her, but the shameful beast didn't do that in the end.
It wasn't until Kayla finished asking that he replied: "Your Majesty the Pope, the name of these things is gunpowder.
I spent a huge price to get it from Brilliant City, and its function is "It seems to be the introduction of the foreign guns.
I have already heard this.
Is the Baron going to introduce those foreign guns?"
A step behind Athena, the eldest lady said everything she could to say in order to leave Lorne speechless.
His evil intentions and despicable actions are simply outrageous.
But now is not the time to expose Athena, and Athena has not captured the true essence of foreign guns.
"Your Majesty, foreign guns are just something that cannot be put on the market."
Lorne said insincerely, "The important thing is the gunpowder.
Since Your Majesty already knows about foreign guns, you must also understand a little bit about its working principle.
Please allow me to explain it to you again.”
Whether it is a primitive musket or a modern firearm, the working principle is similar, which is to use the propulsion generated by the explosion to launch the warhead.
Even if he wasn't a fan of arms, Lorne knew this truth.
If he talked to professionals, he would definitely show up after just a few words.
But Keira didn't even know what gunpowder was, and at most she knew a little bit about the effects of foreign guns from Athena.
No one even had a partial understanding of this, so it was natural for Lorn to make random nonsense.
But after Lorne finished speaking, the Pope stunned him with just one sentence.
"What does explosion mean?"
Without gunpowder there would certainly be no bomb, so the word explosion became a new term.
Lorne, who was talking enthusiastically, did not pay attention to his words.
After meeting Keira's suspicious gaze, he compensated: "Explosion is something I learned secretly in Glory City, which is to use a large amount of gunpowder to trigger a powerful attack.
Its power can even be compared to that of wizards.
The Brilliant City of Witchcraft is studying it.
I only found out about this news by coincidence after asking around. " Being able to compare to the power of a wizard, Keira can understand this metaphor.
It's just that the wizard's power is so powerful that Keira can't believe that Glory City has developed something that can be compared with those witchcrafts.
Lorne also knew that words were worthless, and a woman like Kayla wouldn't believe him just because of a few words.
So the baron took out another little thing.
It was a small wine barrel-style thing, and it looked like it was probably used to store wine.
In fact, it was indeed a wine barrel that had been shrunk countless times, and its original function was the same as Keira had guessed.
It was in the hands of a sailor when Lorne discovered it.
Only now, the content inside is no longer the low-quality alcohol used by sailors to satisfy their cravings.
"Your Majesty, this is my improved gunpowder.
After it is put inside, it can emit explosive power.
I call it a bomb."
It is common sense to put gunpowder in a closed environment to allow it to burn extremely quickly and explode.
If it were made by modern industry, it might be called a bomb.
But the thing in Lorne's hand, which was smaller than a wine glass, couldn't be called such a powerful name anyway, because first of all, the gunpowder in it was relatively primitive.
Although it can indeed explode after more than ten years of research in Brilliant City, such a small cup may not be powerful enough to kill a mouse.
Compared with the name of bombs, firecrackers may be the most appropriate adjective.
However, it was impossible for Keira to know the truth about Lorne.
When he heard that there was a real thing, the Pope couldn't help but believe Lorne.
Just looking at the thing in the baron's hand, she couldn't believe that this thing could achieve the power of a wizard.
If such a small thing could really launch a wizard's attack, then Brilliant City would have swept across Heretic Island and even invaded the Empire.

"What Baron Bomb means is that this thing can be compared to a wizard."
Kayla's face was full of disbelief, and Lorne also knew that bragging shouldn't go too far.
"Your Majesty, this is just a test item, and its power cannot be compared with a real explosive bomb.
But through this thing, Your Majesty can naturally know that I am not lying.
Please allow me to conduct an experiment for Your Majesty."
Experiments are not a new term in the Imperial City.
These things are all new things imported from Brilliant Island.
Keira, who understood what an experiment was, naturally would not refuse Lorne's request, but her move to ask Lorne to demonstrate it in the study still proved that the Pope was not optimistic about Lorne's so-called explosive bomb.
"Your Majesty, it uses gunpowder after all.
And when it explodes" Before Lorne finished speaking, Keira flatly rejected the Baron's request to go out for experiments.
In the cathedral, even though she was the oldest, Keira could easily understand why there were so many people.
Seeing that the Pope refused to change places, Lorne could only use local materials to ensure that no accidents would occur.
Fortunately, a small cup of black powder is not a dangerous thing.
With the bang, apart from opening a hole in the small wine barrel, the biggest effect of Lorne's explosive bomb may be to destroy Kayla's study.
It was full of the smell of gunpowder smoke.
By the way, if you heard me correctly just now.
As the explosion sounded, Lorne seemed to hear a woman's brief exclamation.
But when he looked at Keira, the Pope still acted as if nothing had happened.
She was so calm that Lorne didn't know what to say next.
Fortunately, Fanny outside the door did not leave.
The explosion caught her attention, and she pushed the door open.
The priest pulled out a dagger from nowhere.
And no matter what, the woman with the dagger stabbed Lorne directly.
"stop" Fortunately, Keira felt that Lorne was still of some use and stopped Fanny's assassination.
She told Fanny to stop after saying a few words.
But the strange explosion sound and the smell that filled the room made Fanny a little alert.
After Keira said it twice, she kicked her out.
But from the situation just now, Lorne noticed two things.
First, Fanny, who was previously thought to be just a young priest, turned out to be a paladin.
If Keira hadn't stopped him, he would probably have died here with his bare hands.
Second, he discovered that Fanny seemed to be Keira's confidant.
Otherwise, as a paladin, Fanny's nervousness seems to be a bit too much.
And from Fanny's behavior of guarding the door, Lorne was sure that she and Keira were more than just colleagues in the church.
"It's a nice little trick, but it doesn't seem to have much use other than scaring people."
While Lorne was thinking wildly, Kayla spoke.
Like other natives in the other world, the limitations of the times prevented the Pope from seeing the greatness of gunpowder
