South of the Wuthering Plateau, on the border of the Kingdom of Grace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A large open-pit mine appeared on the northern side of the Ambries Mountains, and it was called the Grey Ridge Excavation Site because of the view of the gray ridges of the main vein of the Ambries Mountains.

A large number of Grace overseers supervised the Grace laborers and countless kobold miners who dug down day and night, but they didn't even know what they were digging.

Some say they're digging for the dragon's treasure, and if they do, everyone will be wiped out, others say they're digging up the dragon's bones, which they can use to build powerful weapons and equipment to help His Majesty Stanley dominate Purendah, while others say they're digging a passage to the underworld - since the Ilrus Empire discovered the entrance to the underworld in Hairholm, almost everyone knows how amazing they have benefited from the trade of the underworld.

But no matter which way it is, it is impossible to get official approval, after all, military secrets are involved.

At the edge of the Grey Ridge excavation site, through the blizzard, you can faintly see rows of flickering houses where the overseers lived, and in the center of it was an extraordinarily large igloo.

With a "squeak", the wooden door of the igloo was pushed open, and a Grace warrior in a fur coat pushed the door open, shaking the snow off his body, secretly scolding "this damn weather", stomping his foot, and then hurried to the stone house.

"Isn't that Sir Craigie? Didn't he oversee the work at the bottom of the pit? Why did it come up all of a sudden? ”

"Maybe something happened, the weather is so bad, it's not surprising that anything happens."

The two guards whispered, and when Sir Craigie approached, they shut their mouths again.

Sir Craigie stopped, gave them a cold look, and said, "Don't care about what you shouldn't be concerned about, open the door, I want to see Master Aldrich." ”

The two guards were stunned by Craigie's gaze, and hurriedly opened the door to the hall, holding their breath until Sir Craigie entered the hall, and they dared to catch their breath.

After closing the gate, the two guards looked at each other in horror.

"Oh my God...... How do I feel that Sir Craigie has been getting scary lately......"

"I don't know why, just getting close to him, I feel like my soul is about to freeze......"

"Could it be that Sir Craigie's strength has increased again? Didn't he just advance to the ninth rank of the gold rank not long ago? Do you say ......"

"He's been promoted to the Grandmaster level!?"

"The gods are above! He's too perverted to improve his speed......"

Sir Craigie heard it clearly, but he had no time to deal with the two guards, and as he entered the hall, his eyes were firmly fixed on the figure busy in front of the alchemy table.

Master Aldrich Harris, a brilliant master of alchemy, has won the favor of His Majesty Stanley with his incredible alchemy, and has become the supreme being of the entire Grace Kingdom under one person and ten thousand people.

Aldrich Harris may be a name that few people know, but when it comes to his teacher, most people will certainly hear it.

His teacher was Horus Hohenheim, the genius madman who created the Sleepless.

Contrary to what people imagined, after the end of the Second Chaos Invasion War, Horus, who had made great achievements but brought new crises to the world, did not return to the Hohenheim family, but disappeared from people's sight, no one knows where he went, but one thing is for sure, as a legendary mage, Horus Hohenheim certainly did not die.

Aldrich Harris was such a lucky man, from a down-and-out outcast, he met Horus by luck, and then became his disciple, and to this day, he has obtained a true biography of Horus.

But whether his presence here has anything to do with his teacher is more intriguing.

Sir Craigie waited until Master Aldrich had finished preparing the melt in his hand before he stepped forward and whispered, "Master Aldrich, the weather is getting worse and worse, and kobolds die a lot every day, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the excavation work before the end of the year." ”

"What a bunch of rubbish."

Master Aldrich said nonchalantly: "Death is death, how can you not die if you do this kind of work, let those damned untouchables and kobolds work hard, the construction period must be completed before the end of the year!" ”

He looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, his voice was a little low and hoarse, and although he couldn't see many wrinkles on his face, his complexion was slightly pale, and he didn't know if he was bored from staying in the alchemy laboratory every day.

"But ......"

Craigie frowned: "The blizzard is too big, the climate of the Wuthering Plateau is already very harsh, and the Ambries Mountains have also blocked the southward migration of the blizzard, and the speed of our digging can't keep up with the speed of the snow......"

Master Aldrich glanced at him, "What do you want to say, stupid muscular guy?" ”

Rao is Craigie has now been promoted to the Grandmaster level, and he was still frightened by Aldrich's glance, he lowered his head and said, "We lack efficient tools, if we can purchase more magic energy drills and magic energy minecarts, our efficiency will definitely be higher." ”

The efficiency of the magic energy drill and magic energy minecart produced by the Datang Chamber of Commerce is very high, and it is a cheap and beautiful digging tool, but it is a pity that there are only two magic energy minecarts and ten magic energy drills in such a large gray ridge excavation site at present, and they are all secretly smuggled - because that thing is forbidden to be exported.

"You idiot! Idiot! Do you think I haven't thought about it? ”

Aldrich sneered and said, "His Majesty Stanley is unwilling to conduct open trade with the Illus Empire, and the goods of the Tang Chamber of Commerce cannot enter the Illus Empire at all, not to mention that things like the Magic Energy Drill are still non-trade products, and it is already very good to be able to get these!" ”

"But you're a master of alchemy, if you can imitate it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Sir Craigie sensed an extremely dangerous coercion, and he immediately shut his mouth.

"You stupid, atrophied muscular guy who isn't even a mouse! I should have made you an obedient puppet! That way you won't be asking some idiotic questions! ”

Aldrich snorted coldly, an annoyed expression flashing across his face: "That damn Donne! He set up a trigger-type blasting magic circle on each device! As soon as you try to disassemble the device, it will trigger a magic circle that will blow all the parts to pieces! There's no way to study the secrets inside! ”

Sir Craigie wanted to ask Master Aldrich why he didn't break the Demolition Magic Circle, but after seeing the expression on his face, Sir Craigie suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and he felt that if he asked that question, he would probably not be able to leave this hall.

But it was precisely because of this that Sir Craigie knew that there were problems in this world that Master Aldrich could not solve.

Aldrich looked at Sir Craigie coldly: "Is there anything else you have to do with you idiot staying here?" ”

"Yes, there are ......"

Sir Craigie was oppressed by the momentum derived from Master Aldridge, for an apocalypse who had just been promoted to the Grandmaster level, the Supreme Rank Fifth Order was too powerful for him to resist at all.

After taking a few quick breaths, Sir Craigie lowered his head and said, "Duke Rupert sent a message urging us to dig as soon as possible, but the weather is too bad, so please ask the master to take action to stop this blizzard, otherwise the construction period will really be delayed." ”

Master Aldrich said sarcastically, "It's hard to believe that you idiot muscular guys would come up with such a solution." ”

Sir Craigie smiled bitterly in his heart, but how dare he refute it?

"Well, it will take a while to react anyway, and since even they have spoken, I will reluctantly help you."

With that, Master Aldrich turned and walked towards the spiral staircase.

Craigie was overjoyed to see this, and hurriedly followed.

After walking up the spiral staircase to the top floor, as soon as I pushed open the door, a bitter cold wind mixed with dense snowflakes rushed in, and the warm room became extremely cold in the blink of an eye.

Master Aldrich embraced the biting cold wind with open arms, enjoying the sensation of snowflakes falling on his cheeks very comfortably, and suddenly said, "You know what? Actually, I personally like this kind of snowstorm, which always reminds me of the days when I studied with my teacher, where it was a white world and no idiots would come and disturb our experiments. ”

Of course, Craigie knew who the idiot he was talking about, but now he could only endure it: "Please also ask the master to act as soon as possible." ”

The clouds in the sky are very thick, and if you don't intervene, I'm afraid that this snow alone will fall for ten days and half a month, and then I'm afraid that the deep pit that has just been dug will be buried by snow.

"Well, let you idiots who are full of muscles but not a few brains see how great magic can be!"

Master Aldrich smiled strangely and took out his staff from the space equipment, the staff exuded a thick magical brilliance throughout, and it was obviously not an extraordinary product.

After holding the staff, the aura on his body changed suddenly, and the unusually violent magic roared out of his body, disturbing the magic around the entire Gray Ridge excavation field, and the laughing Master Aldrich raised the staff, and did not chant any incantations, but simply used the magic power to completely tear apart and squeeze the dense clouds in the sky.

The clouds of the entire sky swelled and turned into a huge whirlpool, which then kept squeezing...... Eventually, the dense clouds covering the Wuthering Plateau were all compressed together and turned into a huge sphere.

"Get out of here!"

Master Aldrich smiled contemptuously, and with a swing of his staff, the huge cloud ball was thrown to the side of the Ambris Mountains......
