It's a problem. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Joshua frowned, he really couldn't wear this women's ring, but the double snake ring is also a gold extraordinary equipment, and the grade and practicality are not low, so it's really not good to use it at home, it's a bit of a waste.

"Next time I return the gift, give this thing back to Verdani."

In the end, the warrior made this decision: "If it really doesn't work, put it at home, or use it as a decoration." ”

But after saying this, Joshua suddenly had a sense of immediacy.

He always felt as if he had heard someone say that all the time.

(This thing doesn't work...... Put it in the family vault first. )

(This thing isn't for me...... Put it in the vault and see if anyone fits it in the future. )

(This ring...... No one in our family is eligible, and it's too much of a loss to give it to others, so let's put it in the secret vault for the time being and see if anyone can use it in the future. )

――The reason why the collections of those big families are so rich is probably how they are accumulated......

Shaking his head to dispel the thought, Joshua exhaled and continued to listen to Rin report the information to him.

Today's official business is not yet complete.

-- A few days later, the star fell on the 2nd of May, 832.

In order to meet Moria's party, Joshua left the main city with Hotaru and headed towards the area around the Great Ayas Mountains in the north, while Rin was at home with No. 3 to deal with official business, and by the way, to take care of the still dormant Black.

In addition to eating, Black is now sleeping in the stable, its food is getting bigger and bigger, it is comparable to the average Warcraft, and the body has grown some hard carapace and long thorns after eating a lot, its teeth are also falling out, and now it has been replaced with layers of sharp fangs, and the fluffy ponytail has begun to gradually change to a long tail similar to a dragon's armor blade.

In addition to looking like a horse in general, in terms of physical details, the current black is more like a dragon beast, exuding high heat and a touch of majesty.

The flight was not short, and by the time Joshua met Moria, he had already crossed several peaks and reached a branch of the Great Ajax Mountains.

Halfway up a snow-capped mountain called Nissière, the old dwarf and Nostradamus were surveying the terrain and discussing something, and when they saw the warrior flying from afar and landing, he stepped forward and greeted him happily.

"I haven't seen you for days, Joshua, my friend."

Moriah opened his hands, ready to give Joshua a hug, he laughed and said, "On the way to your main city, I met this guy Nostradamus, he asked me to help choose a location for his magic academy, I thought about it just by the way, and it was all for your territory, so why not?" So I helped him, you wouldn't mind, would you? ”

"Of course not, my friend."

After thinking for a while before answering, Joshua decided to bend down and accept the old dwarf's hug - compared to Moria, he was too tall, and if he didn't bend down, the other party would only hug him to his waist at most: "But you don't need to do this kind of work yourself, Moria, didn't you bring a few retinues?" ”

With that, Joshua looked sideways at the dwarves who were making a fire to keep warm.

"They, they still need to learn one more."

Moria shook his head: "These guys are too young, this kind of work is handed over to them, I don't worry, I brought them here this time, just to let them learn a little life experience, not to let them really work." ”

On the side, Nostradamus, except for saying hello when Joshua came, had been looking at the snow-capped mountain all the time, he frowned and was silent.

Nissière Snow Mountain is located in the northern part of the Moldavian Territory, close to the imperial frontier, the environment around the Snow Mountain is changeable, there are valleys, rivers, hills and forests, it is an unusually tall mountain, up to three thousand three hundred and twenty meters, second only to the three thousand seven hundred and sixty meters of the Great Ajax Volcano, Joshua followed the old mage's gaze and looked around the surrounding environment, couldn't help but nodded, and commented: "In a flat land in the middle of the mountainside, the location is indeed good, there is enough space in the middle of the mountainside, and the concentration of magic energy is relatively high, It is a good location for the college. ”

"But it's still a little small."

When the old mage heard Joshua's words, he nodded approvingly, but he still hesitated: "The scale of the academy I planned is not large, but if it is placed on a mountain, it will seem a little narrow, and the flat land on the mountainside is not in the right shape, it is a triangle, and it cannot fit the academy I am planning." ”

"Then you can hollow out the belly of the mountain and embed half of the academy in the mountain."

Joshua shook his head and retorted Nostradamus's words, he continued to observe his surroundings, and then stretched out his hand to the river next to the flat land on the mountainside: "You see, as long as the rocky mountain wall behind the flat land is hollowed out and connected to the original flat land, it is a large stone foundation, and it is not difficult for you, as a Extreme Intention Mage, to do this. ”

"And there are forests and rivers around, so you can save a lot of effort when you build it."

“…… That's a good idea, but I'm going to see if it breaks the surrounding mana nodes. ”

Looking at the place halfway up the mountain, where Joshua was pointing, the old mage thought for a while, then nodded, accepted the warrior's opinion, and he immediately flew up and began to check the location of the naturally condensed magic node halfway up the mountain.

Joshua, on the other hand, walked back to the foot of the mountain with the old dwarf and observed the snow-capped mountain from the bottom up.

At the top of the Nissière Snow Mountain, there is an ancient ice that does not melt all year round, and scattered cedars and steel core trees grow on the mountainside, and the part close to the flat land is overgrown with all kinds of northern cold plants, and there are many low-level monsters to live.

At the foot of the mountain, there is also a deep snow lake, which is still frozen because it is closer to the north and the weather has not yet warmed, but it can still see through the ice and see the deep color of the lake behind the ice.

The lake is very famous among adventurers, no one knows how deep this lake is, because no one has ever gone to the end, there have been many adventurers who were ready to explore, or bet to enter it, but they all retreated because of the cold temperature, and with protective equipment, a warrior at the peak of silver can only dive fifty meters, and in the depths, there is even a shadowy magic that can dispel such low-level magic as water avoidance and water breathing.

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

The old dwarf made such a judgment on this point: "The northland is further north, near the coast of the Daze Sea, rich in high-purity magic crystals, it is not uncommon for one or two mineral veins to appear in the northland, and the connection between the natural magic and the lake water will indeed produce some wonderful changes." ”

"It's a pity that because the main peak of the Great Ajax Mountains is a volcano, the nearby snow water carries a little sulfur and toxic substances, resulting in a lot of non-freezing lakes, although the water of this lake can be frozen, which means that there are not many toxic substances, but it is still not suitable for biological life, otherwise, Joshua, you can consider raising a few kinds of magic fish in this lake, they must like this environment very much."

Magic crystals can be used to make storage crystals, or as a simple magic array material, it can be regarded as a high-value resource that will never depreciate, and the Radcliffe family's industry, in addition to selling refined ores to the Imperial Legion, occasionally sells some of these precious materials.

Of course, due to the recent full-scale cooperation with the dwarves, the Radcliffe family's industry has begun to transform into the manufacture and sale of finished weapons, and since it has only been launched for a few months, the reputation has not yet spread widely, but according to the only response, the quality is indeed good.

However, after the dwarf had spoken a long sentence, he noticed that Joshua did not seem to listen to him, and the warrior seemed to be very interested in the deep snow-capped lake, and he looked thoughtfully at the deep water, as if he could see through the ice to its bottom.

"The host ......"

Hotaru, who was standing at the back, pulled the corner of Rajoshua's coat, and the warrior was reminded, so he nodded and said, "It's a pity." ”

“…… Joshua, did you really hear what I said? ”

"Of course."

Joshua, who reacted, nodded, and he said apologetically: "I've heard that no one has explored the bottom of this lake before, and I accidentally want to see what is in the deepest part of it." ”

The old dwarf was not angry, but nodded approvingly: "Yes, to make such a large snow lake have a change, there must be something different in the magic crystal mine at the bottom, and there is time to explore it once." ”

"Do you have to wait for any time?" Joshua shrugged, he looked at the lake, and smiled, "Right now." ”

Moria paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hahaha, indeed, come, let's go and see together!" ”

In Ying's helpless gaze, the two gold-level warriors seemed to be ready to directly shatter the ice and dive into the lake to explore, and just as they had broken the ice and were about to enter, a figure crossed the atmosphere and came to them with the fluctuation of magical power.

Nostradamus, who seemed to have completed the reconnaissance, smiled.

"I'm almost done with my idea, and it's a good place to build an academy...... That's what I imagined Wintercastle to be built in. ”

He said this to Joshua and Moria, and at the same time, the old mage's hands began to gather magical power, attracting light waves and water mist, producing images one after another.

As the image solidified, a huge projection of the snow-capped mountains of Nissière appeared in front of Nostradamus, which was just like the real thing, with clear anatomical drawings and perspectives, and both Joshua and Moria could clearly see the structure and design.

This is a fortress-like building built halfway up the mountain, at an altitude of about 900 meters, this fortress is built on the mountain, most of the building structure is in the belly of the mountain, it looks very solid, and the exposed parts are also very beautiful, which can be called a work of art.
