Chapter 189

It's a real problem.

Joshua frowned. He really couldn't put on the ring, but the double snake ring was also a golden and extraordinary equipment. In terms of quality and practicality, it's not good to put it at home. It's a waste.

"The next time I return it, I'll send it back to vildany."

Finally, the soldier made such a decision: "if it's really no good, just leave it at home and be a decoration."

But after that, Joshua suddenly had a sense of seeing.

He always felt as if at what time he often heard someone say that.

(it's not easy to use... Put it in the family secret library first.)

(it doesn't fit me... Put it in the secret library to see if anyone will fit it in the future.)

(no one in our family is qualified for this ring. It's too bad to give it to others. Put it in the secret library for the time being to see if anyone can use it in the future.)

——Those big family collections, the reason is so rich, should not be so accumulated up

Shaking his head, dispelling this idea, Joshua breathed out a breath and continued to listen to Lin reporting information to him.

Today's official business has not been completed.

——A few days later, May 2, 832.

In order to meet Moria and his entourage, Joshua left the main city with Ying and marched towards the surrounding areas of the great AEAS mountains in the north, while Lin was at home with No. 3 to deal with official business and take care of the sleeping black.

In addition to eating, Hei now sleeps in the stable. Its food intake is getting bigger and bigger, which is comparable to that of Warcraft. After a lot of eating, Hei's body grows some hard crustaceans and long spines, and its teeth are falling off. Now it is replaced with layers of sharp tusks, and the fluffy horsetail is gradually changing to a blade and long tail similar to a dragon.

In addition to looking like a horse on the whole, in terms of body details, the current black is more like a dragon beast, emitting high heat, but also with a touch of dignity.

After a long flight, by the time Joshua saw Moria, he had already crossed several mountains to a branch of the great AEAS.

In the middle of a snowy mountain named nichier, the old dwarf and Nostradamus were surveying the terrain and discussing something. After seeing the soldiers coming from afar and landing, he stepped forward and said hello happily.

"Long time no see, Joshua, my friend."

Moria opened his hands and was ready to give Joshua a hug. He said with a laugh: "on the way to your main city, I met the guy named Nostradamus. He asked me to help him select the site for his magic academy. I thought that it was just the way. It was all for your territory. So why not? So I helped him. Don't you mind? "

"Of course not, my friend."

Before answering, after thinking for a while, Joshua decided to bend down and accept the old dwarf's embrace. Compared with Moria, he was too tall. If he didn't bend down, the other party could only hold him around the waist at most: "but you don't need to do this kind of work yourself. Moria, didn't you bring some followers?"

So Joshua looked at the dwarves who were making a fire to keep warm.

"They need to learn one more."

Moria shook his head: "these guys are too young. I don't trust to give them this kind of work. I brought them here just to let them learn some life experience, not to let them really work."

On the other hand, Nostradamus, in addition to greeting Joshua when he came, had been looking at the snow mountain all the time. He frowned and remained silent.

Located in the north of Moldavia, near the border of the Empire, the snow mountain is surrounded by valleys, rivers, hills and forests. It is an extremely high mountain, with a height of 3300 meters, next only to the 3700 meters of the great eyas volcano. Joshua followed the old mage's eyes and looked around the environment, He couldn't help nodding his head and commented: "it's a good place in the middle of the mountain. There is enough space in the middle of the mountain and the concentration of magic power is relatively high. It's a good site for the college."

"But it's still a little small."

Hearing Joshua's words, the old mage nodded in agreement, but he still hesitated: "the scale of the college I plan is not large, but if it is placed on the mountain, it will be narrow. The shape of the flat ground on the hillside is not right. It's a triangle, and I can't put the college in my plan."

"Then you can hollow out the mountainside and embed half of the college in the mountain."Joshua shook his head and refuted the words of Nostradamus. He continued to observe the surrounding environment, and then pointed to the river beside the hillside and flat ground: "you see, as long as the rock wall behind the flat ground is hollowed out and connected with the original flat ground, it's a large stone foundation. As a great mage, it's not difficult for you to do this."

"And there are forests and rivers around, which will save a lot of effort when building."

"... that's a good idea, but I'll see if it will destroy the magic nodes around me."

Looking at the middle of the mountain, where Joshua pointed out, the old mage thought for a while, then nodded and accepted the soldier's advice. He immediately flew up and began to look at the magic node of the natural condensation at the middle of the mountain.

And Joshua and the old dwarf went back to the foot of the mountain to observe the snow mountain from the bottom up.

At the top of the snow mountain is an old ice layer that does not melt all the year round. On the hillside are scattered cedars and steel cored trees. On the part close to the flat ground, there are all kinds of plants in the northern frigid zone, and there are many lower level Warcraft life.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a deep snow lake. Because it is closer to the north, the weather has not warmed up, so it is still frozen, but it can still see the deep color lake behind the ice through the ice.

The lake is very famous among the adventurers. No one knows how deep the lake is, because no one has ever been to the bottom. Many adventurers were ready to explore or gamble into it, but they all retreated because of the freezing temperature. With protective equipment, a soldier at the top of silver can only dive 50 meters, and even deeper, There is even a dark magic that can dispel the low level magic like water avoidance and water breathing.

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

In view of this, the old dwarf made such a judgment: "the north is further north. Near the coast of the sea of confusion, there are rich in high-purity magic crystals. It's not unusual that one or two veins appear in the north. The natural magic and the lake water are connected, which will indeed produce some wonderful changes."

"Unfortunately, because the main peak of the great AEAS mountains is a volcano, there are a little sulfur and toxic substances in the snow water nearby, resulting in a lot of unfreezing lakes. Although the lake water can be frozen, which means there are not many toxic substances, it is still not suitable for biological life. Otherwise, Joshua, you can consider raising several kinds of magic fish in the lake, They must love the environment

Magic crystal can be used to make and store crystal, or as a pure magic array material. It can be regarded as a high-value resource that will never be devalued. In addition to selling refined ores to the Imperial Army, Radcliffe's industry occasionally sells some of these precious materials.

Of course, recently, due to the full cooperation with the dwarves, Radcliffe's industry has begun to turn to manufacturing and selling finished weapons. As it has just started a few months ago, its reputation has not been widely spread, but according to the only repercussions, the quality is really good.

However, after a long speech, the dwarf found that Joshua didn't seem to listen to him. The soldier seemed to have a great interest in the deep snow lake. He looked at the deep lake thoughtfully, as if his eyes could go through the ice to the bottom.

"Master..."

Standing at the back of the firefly pulled La Qiao Xiuya's Cape, and the soldier was reminded, this just nodded and said: "it's a little pity."

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

"Of course."

Responding, Joshua nodded. He was a little sorry and said, "I've heard no one explore the bottom of the lake before. I want to see what's in the deepest part of the lake if I'm not careful."

But the old dwarf was not angry. Instead, he nodded in agreement: "yes, if you can make such a big snow lake change, there must be something different about the magic crystal mine at the bottom. You really need to explore it when you have time."

"Do you need to wait for time?" Joshua shrugged. He looked at the lake and said with a smile, "right now."

Moria was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "ha ha ha, indeed, come on, let's go and have a look together!"

In Ying's helpless eyes, the two golden soldiers seem to be ready to directly break the ice and dive into the lake to explore. Just when they have broken the ice and are about to enter, a figure across the atmosphere comes to them with magic waves.

As if the investigation had been completed, Nostradamus had a smile on his face.

"My idea is almost finished. The place is really suitable for the construction of the College... I imagine that the structure of the winter fort is like this."

He said this to Joshua and Moria. At the same time, the old mage began to gather magic power in his hands, causing light waves and water mist to produce images.As the image is condensed, a huge projection of the snow mountain of Nicaea appears in front of Nostradamus. This projection is the same as the real one, with clear anatomical and perspective views. Both Joshua and Moria can clearly see the structure and design.

This is a fortress like building built in the middle of the mountain. The altitude of the building is about 900 meters. The fortress is built close to the mountain. Most of the building structures are in the middle of the mountain. It looks very strong, and the exposed parts are also very exquisite. It can be called a work of art
