In the year of the fall of the stars, March 7, the main city of Moldavia, the lord's house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Towering in the center of the city, the three-story castle made of granite exudes a simple and heavy atmosphere, and the fine, evenly textured stone is all from the quarries around Mount Ajax, whose owners have given away their best materials to celebrate the succession of their new lord and to show respect.

Flags with gold edges and black backgrounds were erected at the ends of the castle towers, the coat of arms of the sword hand fluttered in the wind, and in front of the gilded gates, the guards in silver armor stood at their posts, motionless like rocks.

In the interior of the Lord's Mansion, the attendants and maids who teleported back and forth were moving things back and forth, hanging portraits of the lords of the past generations around the corridors and aisles, and carefully placing the trophies of the young lords of this generation—the heads of various magical beasts and dragons—on the walls of the hall.

And on the top floor of the castle, in a large study.

Deep black granite tiles resemble a starless night sky, absorbing the light, while a man sits at a desk carved out of the heart of a steel-core tree, reading an intricate report.

The steel core tree is a kind of tall pine unique to the Northland, its heart is hard and oily, and with a little treatment, it is a very fine wood, and the grip and shaft of most of the high-quality weapons in the Northland are made of steel core wood, but it is rare to make it into furniture.

The pyroxene lamp illuminated the black study very brightly, and Joshua's eyes swept away, and after a few minutes, he finished reading the report and put it down.

"There's some kind of fire dragon blood—nonsense."

His voice did not fluctuate at all, it didn't look like he was angry, but what he said was not, Joshua shook his head and crumpled the report in his hand: "A dragon blood war horse that can gather fire elements, what else can it be if it is not a fire dragon bloodline?" Descendants of the White Dragon? ”

He even laughed: "Has the Mage Guild outsourced this kind of appraisal work to the Wild Mage?" The level of the report is so low that I could not have written it. ”

A few days ago, after Joshua took a black blood sample, he used a newly built small teleportation circle to send it to the Imperial Royal Mage Association for identification, and today the result was returned, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing.

Joshua knew that Hei's bloodline awakening was related to him, as the caretaker of the Azure Orb, he had been killing demonic beasts and destroying monsters, and even if the power of order converted by the orb was just a remnant, it would also benefit the people around him, not to mention that Hei advanced and retreated with him in the demon tide, almost directly experiencing the baptism of the power of order. The fact that the chaotic aura was eroded 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 bloodline, you can know these things, but in this report, the bias of the elements and the speed of the collection of magic power are discussed throughout, and there is no bloodline problem involved, only at the end of the sentence [confirmed to be the bloodline of some kind of fire dragon], which makes Joshua wonder whether this is an academic paper made by an elemental mage, or an analysis to identify the bloodline.

But in reality, he guessed correctly. In a sense, this situation is caused by Joshua himself.

More than two months ago, he handed over the [Sea Abyss Derivatives] that had been eroded by Chaos to Brandon, and asked the future Sword Saint to bring it back to the Imperial Capital for analysis, and immediately the entire Royal Mage Association was shaken, and almost all the mages who had studied this aspect of the bloodline were attracted, and they analyzed the source of the derivatives together, and how they were transformed by Chaos.

However, although the report was full of completely unrelated things, one thing was still valuable, at least Joshua knew that the ancestor of his war horse was an Origin Dragon, not an Astral Dragon.

The Origin Dragon and the Astral Dragon are very different.

The Origin Dragon refers to the native beast dragons, flying dragons, bird dragons and other group species on the Mycrof continent, while the astral dragons are metal dragons and five-colored dragons all over the entire multiverse, the wisdom of the Origin Dragons is equal to that of beasts, even if there are more intelligent individuals, it is just an exception, and most of the astral dragons have the same or even more intelligent wisdom than humans.

None of the existing myths or poems record the origin of the Astral Dragons, but they appear suddenly and without warning in history, coming here from the other side of the Astral Plane like uninvited outsiders.

Thinking of this, Joshua didn't bother to pay attention to the problem of this appraisal report, he stood up, walked to the windowsill, and watched the flow of people coming and going in the city center.

The strife in this world has not ended, the black tide in the north has passed, and the next strife is about to appear.

"After the Kuroshio, it's the dragon disaster."

Repeating the word in a low voice, Joshua's face calmed.

In his previous life, he was in the Far South, the center of that war, and in this life he was in the Northland, separated from the origin of the Dragon Scourge by most of the continent, but even so, he could feel the dark tide surging, because standing higher than before, Joshua was able to see more things clearly, and more deeply realized that the Dragon Clan was not the source of this dispute.

The first version of the Continent of Discord began in 825 and ended in 832 this year, ending with the fall of the orcs, at that time, Joshua was just a lone warrior in the Far South, even if he knew a lot of friends, he could pull up a team, but he was still a small character, and he was only familiar with some historical events, and many small details were not clear at all, at most it was hearsay.

But the second edition, that is, the beginning of 832, Joshua has begun to prepare for the establishment of a large war group, the information he can get at that time, the news he knows, is no longer so superficial, the warrior at that time has the qualifications to participate in big events, and has also led his companions to kill, conquered many powerful enemies, not to mention that now, he is already a golden high-rank, destined to enter the extreme will of the warrior, and there is a county that is completely controlled by him, and many information that he did not know in his previous life is now open to him, As long as he continues to advance at this rate, then in the future, he definitely has the ability to change the course of history and end all the wars that have not yet happened in advance.

But whether it is a conspiracy between nobles or a dispute between nations, the warrior has no interest in the slightest, it is something that has been defeated by him in his previous life, and there is no challenge, and now what can attract him is the mastermind behind everything, the chaos evil god in the void, and the real source of strife.

"Moria has agreed to my request, and the rune dwarves will send a team to build a prototype of the rune factory for me in a few days, and at that time, as long as they and the old dwarf and No. 3 refine the design of the magic armor, they should be able to make the finished product within a year or two."

Sitting back at his desk, Joshua took out a black notebook and began to record his future plans, and after writing for a while, he fell into deep thought: "The resources near the Great Ajax Mountains are enough to support the initial industrialization of the territory's magic energy technology, but funding is a problem, and so are the operators with the corresponding technology. ”

No. 3 is now in the church's sealing room, copying most of the information she knows about magic technology, but these technical materials from the people of Karliss are too advanced, with Joshua's level, at most, he can understand the most basic point, he estimates, even the old dwarf may not be able to understand much, and it is estimated that it will take many years to really use it.

Just as Joshua was planning for his future development, a light blue circle lit up in front of his desk.

The warrior froze slightly, but he immediately reacted, this is the simple communication array he specially asked to place, it is connected to the main body of the magic circle at the top of the castle, and links the magic communication network of the entire empire, but now, there are only two people who know his mailing address, one is the old dwarf, and the other is Nostradamus who has been leading the team to place portals around recently.

Moria had only contacted him not long ago, and now it was the old mage who was calling.

Connecting the magic circle, and sure enough, Joshua heard Nostradamus greet in a deep voice.

Although it is said that most of the space-time passages have been closed, the elements that affect the teleportation have disappeared, but it is not suitable to build portals everywhere, this time I came to inform Joshua that his students have found several suitable places to build portals, but they were rejected by the local residents, so he hoped that Joshua could give permission to let his students walk freely in the territory to find without being blocked.

This was not a big deal, and Qiao Shuyafeng simply agreed, promising that as long as the old mage's disciples came, they would be able to get the corresponding permission.

The two discussed other aspects of the conversation, and the atmosphere of the conversation was very warm, and time passed, and the call was soon coming to an end.

…… In addition to that, Joshua. ”

Nostradamus's voice passed through the communication circle, thinking a little solemnly and hesitantly, and he said slowly, "I have an idea. ”

"Please."

Joshua replied naturally.

"What do you think, I opened a mage academy in the Northlands, how about that idea?"
