Chapter 25
Gottlieb, the Chief of the Dwarves
After descending into the hole, the old man pulled out a black jar from his pocket.
“This is a secret substance known as gunpowder. Only some of us dwarves know how to make it. Filling cylinders with this and igniting them can cause an explosion.”
“It is a type of bomb, then.”
“So you know of bombs.”
“I always did like to research across many topics.”
Eve had told me that there were no firearms in this world, but that gunpowder existed.
Alchemy was rather advanced here, and so the existence of gunpowder was not too surprising.
However, the fact that it hadn’t advanced far enough for guns to be invented and developed, suggested a strong reliance on magic, which was after all, incredibly advanced in comparison.
