Elder looked at the confused expression on Dudian's face: "Do you know why some inventions are classified as taboo?"
Dudian's heartbeat increased but on surface he looked like a lost sheep: "Why?"
"Do you think those bans have something in common?"
"Common points?" Dudian thought for a moment: "I remember that the inflammation technique used by the military is banned because of the destructive power. If its not properly used the it would cause numerous casualties and destruction." At the same time he speculated in his mind. He came to a terrible answer but he didn't dare to show it on his face or tell it.
The old man replied: "True. The main reason for the ban is the destructive power. Such things are great harm for the nobles and the inner wall. That's why they are banned. The priests have studied your steam rifle. It's much more dangerous than the inflammation technique. Even a child could easily kill anoble with the steam rifle!"
