Soul of Burning Steel

This is indeed a trouble. ┡

Qiao Xiuya frowned. He really can't wear this women's ring, but the double snake ring is also a golden ordinary equipment anyway. In terms of grade and practicality, it is not low, and it is not necessary to just keep it at home. it is good.

"It's better to send this thing back to Verdani when you return the gift next time."

In the end, the soldier made this decision: "If it doesn't work, put it at home as a decoration."

But after saying this, Joshua suddenly had a sense of sight.

He always feels that when he often hears someone say this.

(This thing is not easy to use... put it in the family secret vault first.)

(This thing is not suitable for me... put it in the secret library and see if anyone suits it in the future.)

(This ring...No one in our family meets the requirements, and it is too bad to give it to others. Put it in the secret vault for the time being, and see if anyone can use it in the future.)

The collections of those big families are so rich, maybe this is how they accumulate...

Shaking his head and dispelling the thought, Joshua exhaled and continued to listen to Rin reporting information for him.

Today's official duties have not yet been completed.

A few days later, the star fell 832 years, May 2nd.

In order to meet Moria and his party, Joshua left the main city with Firefly and headed towards the Great Aes Mountains, while Rin took No. 3 at home to handle official duties and take care of the dormant Hei. .

In addition to eating, Hei is now sleeping in the stables. Its food is getting bigger and bigger, and it is comparable to ordinary monsters. After eating a lot of food, the body has grown some hard carapace and thorns, and its teeth It was also falling off, now replaced by layers of sharp fangs, and the fluffy horsetail began to gradually transform into a dragon-like long tail.

In addition to looking like a horse on the whole, in terms of the details of the body, the black now looks more like a dragon beast, exuding high heat, but also with a touch of majesty.

After flying for a short time, when Joshua met Moria, he had already crossed several peaks and came to a branch of the Great Aes Mountain Range.

On the side of a snow-capped mountain named Nissier, the old dwarf and Nostradamus were surveying the terrain and discussing what to do. After seeing the warrior flying from a distance and landing, he stepped forward and gave a happy fight. call.

"I haven't seen you for many days, Joshua, my friend."

Morea opened his hands and prepared to give Joshua a hug. He laughed and said: "On the way to your main city, I met Nostradamus, and he asked me to help him choose his magic school. Address, I thought for a while and it happened to be on the way, and it was all for your territory, so why not do it? I helped him, would you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind, my friend."

After answering and thinking for a while, Joshua decided to bend down and accept the hug from the old dwarf. Compared with Moria, he is a bit too tall. If he doesn't bend down, the other party can only hold him at most. Waist: "However, you shouldn't need to do it yourself when investigating this kind of work, Moria, didn't you bring a few entourages?"

With that said, Joshua looked sideways at the dwarves who were lighting up the fire to keep warm.

"They need to learn one more."

Morea shook his head: "These guys are too young. I don’t worry about this kind of work. I brought them here just to let them learn a little life experience, not for them to actually work. ."

And Nostradamus on the side, except for saying hello when Joshua came, he had been looking at the snowy mountain all the time. He frowned and was silent.

Nissia Snow Mountain is an unusually towering peak, with a height of 3,320 meters, which is only 3,760 meters after the Great Aes Volcano. The surrounding environment of the snow-capped mountains is changeable, with valleys and rivers. , There are also hills and forests. Qiao Xiuya followed the old mage’s gaze and looked around at the surrounding environment. He couldn’t help but nodded, commenting: "This place is indeed well located. There is enough space in the middle of the mountain. It is a good location for the college."

"But it's still a bit small."

When the old mage heard Joshua’s words, he nodded in agreement, but he was still a little hesitant: "The scale of the academy I plan is not large, but if it is placed on a mountain, it will appear narrow. The shape of the land on the mountainside No, I can’t fit the college I’m planning."

"Then you can hollow out the belly of the mountain and embed half of the college in the mountain."

Joshua shook his head and retorted Nostradamus’s words. He continued to observe the surrounding environment, and then stretched his fingers to the river on the mountainside: "Look, as long as that area is hollowed out and connected to the original flat land, it is A large stone foundation, you, as Ji Yi Mage, can do this without difficulty."

"Besides, there are forests and rivers around, so a lot of effort will be saved when building."

"...This is a good idea, but I want to see if it will destroy the surrounding magic nodes."

Looking at the place where Qiao Xiuya was pointing, the old mage thought for a while, then nodded, and accepted the warrior’s advice. He immediately flew up and began to look at the natural condensed magic node on the mountainside. went.

And Joshua walked back to the foot of the mountain with the old dwarf to observe the snow-capped mountain from below.

At the top of Nissia Snow Mountain, there is an ancient ice layer that does not melt all the year round. On the mountainside, there are scattered cedar and steel core trees. The part close to the flat ground is covered with various northern cold zone plants. Many lower-level Warcraft lives.

At the foot of its mountain, there is a deep snow lake. It is still frozen, but the lake with deep colors can still be seen behind the ice.

This lake is very famous among adventurers. No one knows how deep the lake is, because no one has ever been to the end. There have been many adventurers who were preparing to explore, or betting to enter it, but they were all because of the cold temperature. After retreating, with protective equipment, a soldier of the Silver Peak can only dive 50 meters, and at a deeper level, there is even a dark magic power that can disperse things like water avoidance and water breathing. Lower magic.

"The bottom of the lake should be connected to a vein of magic crystal."

In response to this, the old dwarf made such a judgment: "The Northland is further north, near the coast of the Lost Sea, rich in high-purity magic crystals. It is not uncommon for one or two mineral veins to appear in the Northland. Natural magic and Connecting lakes and water will indeed produce some wonderful changes."

"Unfortunately, since the main peak of the Great Aes Mountains is a volcano, the nearby snow and water contain a little sulfur and toxic substances, which produces a lot of non-freezing lakes. Although this lake can be frozen, it means that there are not many toxic substances. But it’s still not suitable for living creatures. Otherwise, Joshua, you can consider raising several kinds of magic fish in this lake. They must really like this environment."

Magic crystals can be used to make storage crystals, or as pure magic array materials. They can be regarded as a high-value resource that will never depreciate. The Radcliffe family’s industry, in addition to selling refined ores to the Emperor’s Army. In addition, occasionally some of this precious material is sold.

Of course, recently because of the comprehensive cooperation with the dwarves, the Radcliffe family’s industry has begun to switch to manufacturing and selling finished weapons. Since it has only just started for a few months, the reputation has not been widely spread, but according to the only response Judging from it, the quality is indeed good.

However, after the dwarf had spoken a long time, it seemed that Joshua did not listen to him. The warrior seemed to be very interested in this deep snowy lake. He looked at it thoughtfully. In the deep lake, the eyes seemed to penetrate the ice layer to the bottom.

"the host……"

The firefly standing at the back pulled the corner of La Joshua's clothes, and when the soldier was reminded, he nodded and said, "It's a pity."

"...Joshua, did you really hear what I said?"

"of course."

Joshua, who reacted, nodded ~www.novelmtl.com~ He said a little apologetically, "I heard that no one has explored the bottom of this lake before, so I kind of wanted to see what's in the deepest part of it by accident. Up."

The old dwarf was not angry. On the contrary, he nodded in agreement: "Yes, if such a big snow lake can be changed, the magic crystal mine at the bottom must be different, and it does need to be explored once there is time. "

"Do you still have time to wait?" Joshua shrugged, he looked at the lake and smiled: "It's all right now."

Moria was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha, indeed, come, let's take a look!"

In Ying's helpless gaze, the two gold-ranked fighters seemed to be ready to directly break the ice layer and dive into the lake to explore, and just as they had already broken the ice layer and were about to enter, a figure passed through the atmosphere. , With magical fluctuations, came to them.

Nostradamus, who seemed to have completed the investigation, smiled.

"My idea is almost complete, and that place is really suitable for building an academy... I imagined the structure of the Winter Fortress, that's probably it."

He said this to Joshua and Moria, and at the same time, the old mage's hands began to gather magic power, igniting light waves and water mist to produce images.

As the image was condensed, a huge projection of the Snow Mountain of Nissi appeared in front of Nostradamus. This projection was the same as the real one, with clear anatomical and perspective views, Joshua and Murray. Yadu can clearly see the structure and design.

This is a fortress-like building built on the hillside of a mountain. Its height is about 900 meters above sea level. The fortress is built on the hillside. Most of the building structure is in the hillside. It looks extremely strong. The exposed part is also very exquisite and can be called a work of art.
