It wasn't until tomorrow morning that Joshua set out for the Creeping Forest to prepare to help Barnier and William.
Why did Joshua, who usually acts decisively, act so slowly this time? There are many reasons, the most important one is that he has too many chores to deal with.
As one of the unstoppable deans of Winterkeep College, Joshua's existence is the reason that attracts many students from other countries and regions to join Winterkeep College, especially the recently opened warrior department and knight department. In the combat profession department, many students are eager to see warriors. In response, Joshua went to give a speech, slightly showing off the strength of the legendary strongman, and encouraged them to continue working hard, so that one day they would be like this in the future.
In addition, he also visited a few of his named disciples, the four members of the first team and the second prince Alva's cultivation progress. It has to be said that as beings that could be favored by both Joshua and Divine Mist, the strength of these little guys has indeed progressed very quickly. In just over half a year, they all crossed the silver barrier and came to the silver. At lower levels, if you are lucky, it is not difficult to reach the golden barrier before reaching adulthood. This is also an advancement speed that can only be achieved during the Great Demonic Tide. You must know that when the geniuses before the Great Demonic Tide were the same age as them, they were still thinking about how to break through the silver barrier. Joshua is special, he doesn't count.
The skills taught to Ivan and others were simplified by Joshua from his many extraordinary abilities. What Ivan has is his body of steel, and what Amira has is his vision of steel power. And energy sensing ability. What the dwarf Nick has is his life force circulation system, and what the knight girl Karin has is the prototype of the core melting furnace.
Alva, on the other hand, gained Joshua's thinking about gravity and electromagnetic forces, and gained the power to fly through electromagnetic fields and condense electric currents. After he advances to the gold level, he can touch the field of gravity and condense the most basic 'quality weapon steel sword'. The five of them were all diligent in their training, and Joshua planned to give them a surprise after they all advanced to the silver level.
It took a lot of time to give speeches and visit the students. In the evening, Joshua had a brief meeting with Nostradamus and Israel through the time and space channel, talking about the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site and the Ancient Era. information.
The conversation didn't last long, but the process was rapid, because the warrior and the old mage suddenly disappeared for several weeks, and Israel was under a lot of pressure in Mycroft's world. It's not so much the peeps from the outside, it's mainly the undercurrent inside that's hard to calm down. Because of the rapid surge in personal strength during the Great Demonic Tide, the difference in strength between ordinary nobles and civilians began to become negligible. Many civilians who suddenly gained strength would retaliate against the nobles or wealthy businessmen who had bullied them before, and sat on the power Naturally, the nobles with money and funds would not just wait for the common people to rush up and fight with them, but would directly suppress them.
Before, the common people did not have the power to resist, but now that they have the power, they will no longer be so obedient, and the nobles cannot tolerate their 'assets' threatening their lives. Without the war against the orcs as a target to attract hatred, in the impoverished southern regions of the empire, the contradiction between nobles and commoners has become almost irreconcilable.
Israel believes that in order to solve the problems caused by the privileged class that is rooted in the entire system, it is either to have an imperial civil war, kill its heads and redistribute the interest classes, or it is to open up and find new ones. land, and transfer the conflicting population from poor areas to let them have their own land to cultivate. But both treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and only a complete overhaul of the entire system is the real solution.
But Nostradamus believed that forced reforms would cause large-scale rebellions among the traditional nobles. Even if the three of them could suppress all opposition voices throughout the empire in just one day, they would not be able to establish a just and lasting national system. They would need some time. Experiment and think, and before that, the empire can try to explore other worlds through the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site to find a way to develop.
Joshua did know that in the previous life, because Israel was seriously ill, Nostradamus led the development of the empire. After the glorious expedition against the orcs, the major mountains and black forests were developed. During the Great Development Era, the Northern Empire even sent its army deep into the central Black Forest. Countless adventurers followed the empire's five legions to explore the mysterious and dangerous Jedi, and found countless prehistoric treasures and relics.
The three people had a brief exchange, but they set the development policy of the empire for the next ten years. It seems that Eagle wanted to meet Joshua for a similar purpose. But because of Joshua's challenge, the old pope forgot about it... maybe it wasn't that he forgot, but that after the fight with Joshua, he felt that that little thing didn't matter.
The official and private matters were almost settled, and it wasn't until the next morning that Joshua had time to go to the Creeping Forest with the two legendary mages.
"You mean, that Ms. Hailong also wants to awaken the ancient dragon bloodline?"
On the way to the Creeping Forest, Joshua told the two ancient dragon experts about Hill and Fina. Barnier was very interested in this: "I can see that the blood in her body is very pure. , is one of the rare original dragon hybrids with wisdom. From her point of view, it should be more convenient to awaken the ancient dragon bloodline than that of your little female dragon, at least the bloodline concentration cannot be compared to Hei."
"Yes, the main problem is the material and how to discover the power within her."
William gave a professional analysis on the side: "When you awakened the ancient dragon's blood to Hei, it can only be said that you were fooling around. You were lucky. At that time, the fighting spirit power that induced Hei's awakening had the high temperature of fire. The characteristics do not conflict with the bloodline of the refining black dragon, and the blood of the ancient dragon is not an opposing attribute. If a person with frost-based grudges uses the blood of the ancient ice dragon to try to induce black awakening, the only outcome will be an explosion. ah."
William is not joking, but something similar did happen in history: a dragon knight wanted to awaken the ancestral bloodline for his dragon companion, and he purchased a large amount of precious resources to help his companion discover power, but in the end When the bloodline was induced to appear and replaced the existing bloodline, due to attribute conflicts, the dragon knight and his dragon companions were wiped out by a huge energy explosion.
"Is that so."
Joshua nodded thoughtfully. In this way, if you want to awaken the blood in Fina's body, what you need should be the power of thunder and the blood of the ancient dragon with the same attributes and the same power. People are easy to find, not to mention there are seven or eight instructors in Winterhold Academy. The three legendary strongmen present alone are also good at manipulating magnetic fields and playing with lightning. The only one who is more difficult is probably Lei. The attributes of the blood of the ancient dragon.
Thinking of this, the three of them have arrived above the Creeping Forest. Next to this heterogeneous half-biological, half-plant jungle in the Great Ajax Mountains, four or five white temporary research greenhouses have been built. They can see more than a dozen A young man and mentor wearing the uniforms of the White Tower and the Imperial Royal Mage Academy was busy coming in and out, and from time to time he would enter the jungle to pick some biological tissues for research.
In the original Creeping Forest, both the tentacles and branches and leaves were open lazily, as if they were as lazy and relaxed as a cat basking in the sun, but when Joshua and Barnier William came to it, When surrounding, this jungle that may have some self-will was like exploding hair on the spot. It directly gathered its branches and leaves, contracted its tentacles, and closed itself up like a frightened mimosa in the waves of spreading electromagnetic fields.
"Generally speaking, our presence will cause great intimidation to this kind of instinct-only creature, so in addition to studying its physical characteristics and complex blood system, William and I will not come to this place easily, as it will interfere with Students’ research projects.”
Barnier shrugged, he had long been used to this, but Joshua touched his chin and laughed.
"Magnetic field... current... I'm still thinking about where to find the blood of the ancient dragon with thunder attributes."
"Now it seems that this is ready."
As if feeling a powerful force of malice pressing down from the sky, the creeping forest that was already curled up in a ball suddenly curled up even tighter.
Its simple instinct has a premonition: a disaster and conspiracy against it, or against the bloodline master behind it, is about to come.
