Starfall 832, March 7, the main city of Moldavia, the Lord's Mansion.
The three-story castle made entirely of granite stands in the center of the city, exuding a simple and heavy aura. These fine and uniform stones are all sourced from the quarries around the Ajax volcano. In order to celebrate the succession of his new lord. As a sign of respect, the owner of the quarry gave away his best materials.
Flags with gold edges and black background were erected at both ends of the castle tower, and the coat of arms of the sword-holding hand fluttered in the wind. In front of the gilded gate, the guards in silver armor stood at their posts, as motionless as a rock.
Inside the lord's mansion, attendants and maids were shuttled back and forth, moving many items and miscellaneous items. They hung portraits of past lords around the corridors and aisles, and carefully collected the trophies of this generation of young lords - all kinds of items. The heads of monsters and flying dragons are placed on the walls of the hall.
On the top floor of the castle, in a large study room.
The deep black granite floor tiles are like a starless night sky, absorbing light, while a man is sitting at a desk carved from the heart of a steel-core tree, reading a complicated report.
The steel core tree is a tall pine wood unique to the North. Its core is hard and rich in grease. With a little treatment, it becomes a very fine wood. The handles and shafts of most high-quality weapons in the North are made of steel core. It is made of polished wood, but it is rare to make it into furniture.
The pyroxene lamp illuminated the black study very brightly. Joshua's eyes swept. After a few minutes, he finished reading the report and put it down.
"There's some kind of fire dragon blood—crap."
His voice had no fluctuations and did not look like he was angry, but what he said was not the case. Joshua shook his head and crumpled the report in his hand: "A dragon-blooded war horse that can gather the fire element is not as powerful as a fire dragon blood." What could it be? A descendant of the white dragon?"
He even laughed: "Has the Mage Association outsourced this type of appraisal work to wild mages? The level of the report is so low that it would not be so if I were to write it."
A few days ago, after Joshua took Hei's blood sample, he used a newly built small teleportation circle to send it to the Imperial Royal Mage Association for identification. Today, the results were returned, but he did not expect it to be like this. s things.
Joshua knows that the awakening of Hei's bloodline is related to him. As the guardian who holds the Azure Orb, he has been killing monsters and destroying monsters. Even if the power of order transformed by the orb is only a residual, it will also make people around him It was quite beneficial, not to mention that Hei advanced and retreated with him in the demonic tide, almost directly experiencing the baptism of the power of order. The fact that it was eroded by the aura of chaos and then purified back and forth stimulated its physical instincts.
As long as you pay a little attention and detect the remnants of the power of order in the blood, you can know these things. However, this report discusses the direction of the elements and the speed of gathering magic power, but it does not involve the issue of blood at all. Only the sentence "Confirmed to be the bloodline of some kind of fire dragon" at the end made Joshua wonder whether this was an academic paper written by an elemental mage or an analysis to identify the bloodline.
But in fact, his guess was correct. And in a sense, this situation was caused by Joshua himself.
More than two months ago, he handed over the [Abyss Derivatives] that had been eroded by Chaos to Brandon, and asked the future Sword Master to take it back to the Imperial Capital for analysis. The entire Royal Mage Association was immediately shocked, and all the opponents Almost all mages who have researched on blood are attracted to analyze the origin of the derivatives and how they were transformed by Chaos. Now, the experts who are doing the identification work on behalf of these experts are naturally mages from other departments.
However, although the entire report was talking about completely irrelevant things, one thing was still valuable. At least Joshua knew that the ancestor of his war horse was a primal dragon, not a dragon. Astral Dragon.
There is a huge difference between the original dragon and the astral dragon.
The original dragons refer to the beast dragons, flying dragons, bird dragons and other species native to the Mycroft continent, while the astral dragons are the metal dragons and five-color dragons found throughout the multiverse. The original dragons Wisdom is the same as that of beasts, and even smarter individuals are just exceptions. Most astral dragons have wisdom that is equal to or even exceeds that of humans.
None of the existing myths and poems in the world record the origin of the astral dragons. They seem to appear suddenly and without warning in history, like uninvited outsiders coming from the other side of the astral world. Go here.
Thinking of this, Joshua no longer wanted to pay attention to the appraisal report. He stood up, walked to the window sill, and watched the flow of people passing by in the city center.
There is no end to the disputes in this world. The black tide in the north has passed, and the next dispute is about to begin.
"After the black tide, there will be dragon disaster."
Repeating this word in a low voice, Joshua looked calm.
In his previous life, he was in the far south, the center of that war, and in this life, he was in the north, separated by more than half a continent from the origin of the Dragon Disaster. But even so, he could feel the undercurrent, because he was standing in a place that was more dangerous than before. From a high position, Joshua can see more things clearly and understand more deeply that the dragon clan is not the source of this dispute.
The first edition of Strife Continent started in the year 825 of Starfall and ended in the beginning of 832 this year with the destruction of the orcs. At that time, Joshua was just a lone warrior in the Far South. Even if he knew many friends, he would not He can pull up a team, but he is still a small character. He is only familiar with some major historical events. Many details are completely unclear, and at most they are just hearsay.
But in the second edition, that is, beginning in 832, Joshua had already begun preparations to establish a large war group. The information and information he could obtain at that time were no longer so superficial. The warriors at that time had already With the qualifications to participate in major events, he has also led his companions to kill and conquered many powerful enemies. Not to mention that now, he is already a high-level golden warrior, destined to enter the ultimate realm, and there is another person who is completely obsessed with him. In the earldom he controls, a lot of information that he didn't know in his previous life is now disclosed to him. As long as he continues to advance and develop at this rate, in the future, he will definitely have the ability to change the course of history and eliminate all wars that have not yet happened. Terminate early.
But whether it is the conspiracy among the nobles or the disputes between the countries, the warrior has no interest at all. They have been defeated by him in the previous life and are no longer challenging. The only thing that can attract him now is the mastermind behind everything, Void The evil god of chaos among them is the real source of strife.
"Moria has agreed to my request. The rune dwarves will send a team in a few days to build the prototype of the rune factory for me. At that time, I only need to perfect the design of the magic armor with the old dwarf and No. 3. The finished product should be ready within a year or two.”
Sitting back at the desk, Joshua took out a black notebook and began to record his future plans. After writing for a while, he fell into deep thought again: "The resources near the Great Ajax Mountains are enough to support the territory. The initial industrialization of magic energy technology, but funding is a problem, as is operators with corresponding skills."
No. 3 is currently in the church's Blade Sealing Room, copying most of the information on magic technology that she knows. However, these technical information from the Carlisians are too advanced. At Joshua's level, the most is just reading. He estimated that even an old dwarf might not be able to understand the most basic aspects of it. It would probably take many years to actually apply it.
Just when Joshua was making plans for future development, a light blue magic circle lit up in front of the desk.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that this was a simple communication array that he specifically requested to install. It was connected to the main body of the magic array at the top of the castle, and linked to the entire empire's magic communication network. But now, knowing that he communicates There are only two people at the address, one is an old dwarf, and the other is Nostradamus, who is currently leading a team to install portals everywhere.
Moria had contacted him not long ago, and the person on the phone now should be the old mage.
After connecting with the magic circle, sure enough, Joshua heard Nostradamus saying hello in a deep voice.
The old mage's communication this time was for matters related to the teleportation gate in the North. Although most of the time and space channels have been closed and the factors that affect teleportation have disappeared, it is not suitable to build a teleportation gate everywhere. This time he came to inform Joshua that his students had found several places suitable for building portals, but they were rejected by the local residents, so he hoped that Joshua would give permission to allow his students to build portals. Walk freely in the territory to search without being blocked.
This was not a big problem. Joshua Yafeng simply agreed. He promised that as long as the disciples of the old mage came, they would get the corresponding permission.
The two discussed other issues. The atmosphere of the conversation was very lively. Time passed and the call was coming to an end soon.
…Besides, Joshua. "
Nostradamus's voice passed through the communication circle. He was thinking a little solemnly and hesitantly. He said slowly: "I have an idea."
"Please say."
Joshua replied naturally.
"What do you think of my idea of opening a mage college in the North?"
