Late winter season, Arthur Crowe.
"The temperature here seems to be much higher than Nolan...?"
When Joshua passed through the Arthur Crow portal, the first thing he did was take off his scarf.
Now the climate in Nolan has gradually entered winter, and the temperature in Arthur Crowe has been maintained in spring, which is always the most comfortable season.
"The outer perimeter of the city is protected by a magical barrier that also acts as a temperature control."
The white bird appeared on Qiao Xiu's shoulder, and when it was arranging its feathers with its beak, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards Qiao Xiu.
Joshua immediately picked up the white bird on his body and threw it out. The next second, the Duke of Black Dragon appeared in mid-air, grabbed the white bird steadily, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It took three minutes for it to find you this time. Has the interval between feedings shortened?"
Another avatar of the World Tree appeared on Joshua's shoulders.
"Desires also got shorter, and it started to learn to control its urge to eat."
Shiratori tilted his head and looked at the black dragon who was eating his corpse.
"Lord Ridley!"
Elder Enya, the temporary guardian of Duke Black Dragon, ran over quickly from the other side of the forgotten land.
Qiao Xiu didn't care about the black dragon anymore, and turned around to look at the highest position in the Forgotten Land.
It has been a while since Sheil returned to the Land of Frost, and Nolan's season has officially shifted from autumn to deep winter.
Joshua and Ciri were preparing for the production of the latest episode of Tom and Jerry today and received some good news...and that the construction of the city in the Beauty and the Devil area is complete!
Count Cruz told Josh with the facts what the efficiency of the country of steel is.
The Forgotten Lands was originally a barren highland area, and a luxurious castle has stood there.
Just as Joshua stepped on the road to the castle, he heard Elder Enya's cry behind him.
"Lord Ridley, you should go back to study..."
Elder Enya was beside the black dragon to dissuade it, but the black dragon followed Joshua as if he hadn't heard Elder Enya's words.
"Hungry again?"
Joshua turned to look at the young black dragon.
It still had a white bird stuffed in its mouth, but it had forgotten to chew now, and looked up at Joshua with its bulging cheeks.
Qiao Xiu picked up the white bird on his shoulders and swayed it left and right. Heilong's eyes were still staring at the white bird for a few seconds, and finally his eyes were fixed on Qiao Xiu.
"This black dragon... Shouldn't it eat people?"
Joshua had a creepy feeling that the rumors of Duke Black Dragon's tyranny in the Demon World were all true.
In order to prove that Qiao Xiu had specifically inquired about it some time ago, no one who stepped into its territory had ever come out alive.
"Ridley feeds on pure energy, to which the flesh is an impurity," explains Shiratori.
"next episode… "
After the black dragon finished eating the white bird in its mouth, it ran to Qiao Xiu's side and sniffed.
"This can be found by you..."
Joshua took out the original spar in his coat pocket.
"It's the latest episode of Tom and Jerry, but it's not done yet, and the voiceover work isn't done yet."
Qiao Xiu shook the original spar in his hand, and the black dragon's golden vertical pupil kept staring at the original spar in Qiao Xiu's hand.
"next episode."
It stretched out its short hand and seemed to be hesitating whether to snatch the original spar from Joshua's hand.
"This episode isn't finished yet, and no, no, no."
It seemed to understand Joshua's words, and the short hand that had been raised in the air was put down again.
Qiao Xiu put the original spar into the pocket of his coat and walked directly towards the castle in the distance.
This black dragon still seems to be following behind Qiao Xiu relentlessly... It doesn't feel good to be stared at by a giant dragon.
But it may have recognized that Joshua was the producer of "Tom and Jerry", so he did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary to Joshua.
…
Elder Quitoan was in the corridors of the castle looking out into the Forgotten Lands in the distance.
Human engineers have been in Arthur Kroe for some time, and most of the ruins of the Forgotten Lands have been demolished by the dwarves.
Standing here, he could clearly see the human craftsmen below busy in every corner of the area.
"A total of 2,300 people participated in the construction of this amusement park."
A human voice sounded behind Elder Quitoan. He turned around and saw Count Cruz walking towards him with two glasses of strange liquid.
He took the glass handed over by Count Cruz, and the liquid in the glass exuded a faint green light, and at the same time there was a lot of bubbles.
Elder Quitoan is a medium for communication between high elves and humans. Although he doesn't like this powerful earl, he gets along well at work...
Even if this human wanted to get rid of him, there was no reason to use such an obvious poison.
"This isn't poison, it's called Sin Karma... I heard that the first production line was completed in the Demon World the day before yesterday, so now this thing can only be bought in the Demon World, and it's limited."
Count Cruz tried his best to use words to describe the preciousness of the liquid in the glass to express his sincerity.
After seeing the earl drank directly, Elder Quitoan followed suit and drank all the liquid in the glass.
The strange taste of the liquid made him choke on the first sip, but after drinking it all, there was an inexplicable refreshing feeling.
"Do you want a second cup?" asked Count Cruz.
The elder's answer, of course, was a nod.
"I want another cup too, but unfortunately I only bought this for three Nolan Golds." Count Cruz shook the remaining drop of fluorescent liquid in his hand and said, "If you still want it, you can only go to Joe Mr. Xiu wants it."
"Son of the forest, he created this liquid?" Elder Kuitoan didn't expect Qiao Xiu to have the talent for refining medicine.
"I was fortunate enough to witness the birth of this magical drink, and when I first tasted it, I was just like you...with suspicion." Count Cruz stared into Elder Quitoan's eyes and said, "I think you are now ignorant of what we are building. Something must have this attitude.”
"Aren't you, too? Count of men."
Elder Quitoan's mind was seen through by the earl, but instead asked him with a smile on his face.
"Doubt? It's only natural." Count Cruz walked to the window sill and looked at the busy human construction team below. "I am a businessman in essence, but also the lord of a city. You know Mr. Joshua goes here. Can the money invested in the ruins buy anything in the human world?"
Elder Quitoan shook his head, his knowledge of human trade was very shallow.
"An entire army! A legion of knights fully armed to the teeth, all members can wear armor tempered and enchanted by alchemists, and the mounts can even consider the use of wurm... In short, it is a powerful army."
Count Cruz put his hands on the edge of the window and looked at the ruins below, as if he saw the birth of a knight order that could become the pillar of Orsenburg.
