Chapter 171 171. Underground construction, the idea of a potion production line
Amidst the white snow.
Two carriages were coming from the distant royal capital.
The horse pulling the cart is full of mechanical rhythm and the coldness of steel, and it still moves forward steadily even in the wind and snow.
That is a golem horse, which is clumsier than a monster, but it is one of the best vehicles when facing harsh environments and weather.
The two carriages are respectively engraved with the unique coat of arms of the Mage Association and... Archmage Celesti, which is a moon hidden under the sun.
As the Archmage of the Norland Kingdom Mage Association, Celesti is only under the seventh-level Archmage. Of course, her orders are absolute.
So Stein and his mentor Zell were packed and imprisoned directly. There was absolutely no way to escape before arriving at Hanjiao Island.
Of course, this coat of arms only symbolizes Celesti's will. It can block people, but it cannot block external magic and bombing.
The carriage moved forward smoothly.
Suddenly,
a black spot appeared in the white sky. It was burning with flames and exuding a mellow fragrance, coming from the distant sky.
It was flying quickly, but it seemed to feel something and rushed straight down, then hit the carriage hard and exploded.
"Boom!"
The remaining magic power and pea seeds inside burst out, and the resin covered the entire carriage. The poor carriage was swept up by this sudden magic explosion. .
It even almost caused a series of explosions of the internal space array.
The terrifying magic power swept across, and the two people in the carriage fainted instantly. After encountering this situation, the golem horse could only stop.
Its intelligence is obviously not enough to deal with this kind of thing.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, even Estner did not expect such a thing to appear in such a place.
He quickly jumped off the other carriage. After carefully observing the stopped carriage, his expression became more and more strange.
"Is this a pea? And resin?"
Estner glanced at the sky and then at the white snow around him. He really didn't know where this was coming from. .
Is it really just that when the magic plant sprayed its seeds, it happened to feel that the magic power here was sufficient?
Are these two so unlucky?
Or...
"Is it Croa?"
It's not surprising that he was suspicious. There is only one mage like Croa in the entire northern border. And as far as he knew, his friend should have cultivated many special magic plants.
He glanced at the direction of Hanjiao Island and calculated silently. According to their speed, it would take about four days to arrive.
If he could hit it so accurately in two days and thousands of kilometers away, it seems that his friend has really cultivated an incredible magic plant.
He ignored the two people who fainted and started the golem horses directly, ordering them to follow his carriage and continue moving forward.
They have already arrived outside the royal capital, and with Celesti's restraint measures, it is impossible for these two people to escape no matter what.
I feel dizzy when I feel dizzy.
……
The other side.
As time passes.
Cloya is also busy.
He is transplanting flame tree stumps, peas and hot wind thorns, and has deployed a magic plant defense line at the boundary between the inner and outer islands of Hanjiao Island.
And the Estella Combination Bamboo Knight, who had learned the swordsmanship of thorns and was grafted with thorns of justice, was released into this forest.
This bamboo not only learned the thorn sword technique, but Croya also spent a lot of money to feed it the gold that the Golden Divine Butterfly had worked so hard to produce.
After being strengthened, the bamboo branches and leaves representing the sword and shield have shown signs of becoming golden.
The sharpness and sturdiness of swords and shields have been greatly improved.
It can be said that you can kill a third-level or fourth-level mage and knight casually - after all, this thing is made by Titan, and it is an angel who intends to expand Croya's combat power. Of course, his strength It won't be bad.
While he continued to transform and transplant magic plants.
Renovations on the island have also been completed one after another.
At this time, Hanjiao Island is no longer the messy and poor island it used to be. The entire island has gone through the hard work and renovation of the islanders.
Start from the newly built and tidy Hanjiao Pier and walk inside. The road is flat and spacious. On both sides are various types of plants that have been trimmed to perfection, and at every corner there are vines from the King of Obsidian Vine as guidance and monitoring.
If you look at it from a high altitude, every road is straight and regular, almost to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Except for the spacious roads, the vegetation in other places is so lush that it is almost impossible for humans to walk in the forest.
Without any trace of human beings, the world will naturally be dominated by demonic plants and demonic beasts.
Various flowers and plants grow vigorously on the roots of the grapevines, and they are colorful.
You can also see some deer, rabbits and other animals running and playing inside - all thanks to the apprentices who are coming back one after another.
Facts have proven that when humans come in groups to capture Warcraft, unless they are particularly high-level Warcraft, they cannot escape the fate of being captured.
Not to mention that they also have the Ice Rabbit and Crow as traitors, so it is easy to capture those hungry monsters that are driven by the wind and snow.
Anyway, according to Croya’s understanding, they capture all the magical beasts and magical plants they can see on the road, including but not limited to wolves, bears, rabbits, deer...
Anyway, as long as they look Those who arrived, brought them all back.
It’s like a dog carrying something into the house.
Cloya was happy but also a little confused.
In order to arrange for these monsters to settle down on the island, Croya really spent a lot of energy.
First of all, he has to consider the area where the carnivorous monsters and herbivorous monsters are located, and whether these flesh-eating monsters will harm the people on the island because of their bad temper.
It turned out that he was worrying too much.
Before he could start dividing areas.
The Olive Elf ran around on the island every day with those magic crystal white rats, followed by the Phantom Cloud Snake, the Owl, and the swarms of Thirsty Sea Fluorescent Algae.
Occasionally, sunflower elves and little lotus elves join in.
They spontaneously maintained order on the island and formed a "security team".
Whenever a monster wants to attack humans, it will be immediately beaten up by the olive elves descending from the sky with a group of friends.
Warcraft is not a fool. After being beaten like this a few times, he would just run away with his tail between his legs when he saw someone. Not only did he not dare to provoke, but he was also afraid of being beaten up if he accidentally bumped into him.
The olive branch born from the olive represents "peace".
Its body is also filled with this kind of power. The most unseen thing is disputes and chaos, so it can be said to be extremely enthusiastic about maintaining order and peace on the island.
Kloya took action without any explanation at all.
As the island becomes more and more peaceful, its body is also growing rapidly, as if it is absorbing this power as its own nourishment.
Of course, Croya didn't know if beating the opponent hard to calm them down... could be considered a way of peace.
Anyway, it worked, so he didn’t bother with it too much.
What needs to be mentioned here is the fluorescent algae of Sea of Thirst.
After salvage in the sea area beyond the triple mineral vein, the number of fluorescent algae in the Thirsty Sea can be said to be overwhelming. They are now all mixed together with the pile of Thirsty Sea Fluorescent Algae that Croya first imprinted.
As one of the most adaptable algae to the environment, they even quickly learned to absorb the alien magic in the air without any guidance, and successfully transformed from marine creatures into amphibious creatures on land and sea.
Every day I just wander around the island.
When Croya saw the algae after finishing his work, he felt that not imprinting any spells on them was really a waste of their abilities.
So, he purchased a batch of "Image Crystals", engraved and installed them in the astral bodies of these algae, and threw some of the algae into the sea to let them swim around on their own.
Retrieve the image crystals in their bodies from the roots of the Obsidian King Vine that extend to the seabed at regular intervals.
Let the shark tower spirit handle it.
It can be regarded as a patrol surveillance system, densely covering the entire sea area around Hanjiao Island.
No matter what happens under the sea, Croya can detect it and be prepared to deal with it.
After finishing these chores, Croya was finally able to take a break.
So he came to the newly built "Aquarium" with great interest, planning to take a look around, and then go underground to see his "magic potion production line". ...
The so-called aquarium is actually a building filled with blue springs from the sea of mist. It is a huge building thirty meters high and with a full radius of three kilometers wide.
It has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and its entire body is made of a low-level, cheap magic material called "blue crystal magic stone".
This kind of blue crystal magic stone is a product of areas rich in water elements. For the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, these things are sold by the ton. You can even cut them for you for a fee.
Because it is extremely cheap, and Croya wants to build a huge building to satisfy his curiosity.
So in the end, it was built like this, a huge building that was like cutting out a piece of blue water and placing it on the land.
At least in such a medieval environment, such a building is indeed very large.
In order to build this building, Croya personally supervised the work and asked the mage apprentices to act as civil workers to carry out reinforcement and stabilization work.
The result is...from the initial preparation to the final construction, it only took three days - this shows how terrifying the productivity of magic is.
If magicians were allowed to serve as infrastructure workers, it is estimated that the entire world could develop to another level.
Of course, it is because these mages were trained by Croya and they have never seen the praise of mages from outside that they are willing to be so obedient.
If it were any other mage and you let them work as construction workers, it would be a favor if they didn't blow themselves up on the spot to show you.
......
Standing in the azure aquarium, what Croya saw in his eyes were fish swimming happily.
There are not only common fish such as golden scale fish, golden bearded arowana, and rainbow fish that are common in the ocean, but also common carp, sturgeon, and catfish in fresh water.
There are also decorations simulating the ocean around - coral-shaped lamps, a beach paved with fine white sand, swaying seaweed, and shells of various colors can be seen everywhere.
Except for lamps, all these things were picked up by children on the island when they went to the beach or went to the bottom of the sea with the dolphins, and then laid them out spontaneously.
Cloya was happy to hear this.
Having been in contact with World of Warcraft for a long time and staying in an environment full of magic, it is feasible whether you consider becoming a mage apprentice, a beast tamer or even a druid in the future.
Hanjiao Island is his basic base, and he has enough time and patience to manage it well, which will bring him benefits and gains in the future.
He was walking in the aquarium, looking relaxed and at ease.
From time to time, fish swam toward him, but he rejected them all. This was not an anime. There is so much smelly mucus on the fish, he will definitely feel uncomfortable if it sticks to it.
After walking around for a while, he felt that it looked pretty here, but it was strange, why didn’t these fish have any wishes or desires?
To this day, he has not modified even a single fish, and at most he has modified a sea-striped clam. Don’t these fish have a desire for evolution?
He felt very strange. He took the initiative to communicate with many fish, but he found that they had no desire to accept transformation and evolution.
It seems that their biggest desire is to stay in such an environment and swim freely, and there is nothing else they desire.
"..."
How should I put it, this is probably also a desire.
Chloë could only shake his head and leave.
He quickly walked around the aquarium, and played with the fish-tailed sea ducks and dolphins for a while, then walked towards the bottom of the aquarium.
Since the ocean has to be put on hold for the time being, he must definitely consider the development of his Hanjiao Island, and the underground of Hanjiao Island is another focus of his development.
Most of the profits from the magic crystal mine and water crystal ore were used in the underground development of Hanjiao Island.
First, he plans to build some magic laboratories underground on Hanjiao Island to allow apprentices and monsters to refine potions and magic creations.
This requires an absolutely stable environment.
For example, the seabed side is obviously not good, the magic is too confusing. It's okay to build some basic factories, but what really needs finishing has to be done on the island.
Secondly.
He plans to install some magical artifacts under the island to see if Hanjiao Island can be separated from the continental shelf and become an island that can be controlled and moved at will.
Hanjiao Island is now fixed in one position. It is okay in the early stage, but if it gets to the back, it may be a little dangerous.
Although it is still early for him, he must also prepare for a rainy day, at least leaving enough space for Hanjiao Island to upgrade and transform.
From an island that can move on the sea to an island that can fly into the sky in the future, rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and of course the island must be built step by step.
Items and plans similar to this kind of island transformation are actually sold at the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. Now the authority that Croya can get is the elementary plan.
That is, install some magic propulsion devices to ensure that the island can float on the sea, and then use the propulsion devices as power to move forward.
This requires spreading magic pipes throughout the entire island, and Croya is indeed curious about whether there is anything deep in the island.
In his initial suspicion, he once suspected that Hanjiao Island was the crashed ark, which was why there were so many scattered items around it.
But after thinking about it, he felt it was impossible.
Because Archmage Eurydice stayed here for a long time, if it was really the Ark, he would definitely find it.
...
He came underground.
There will be no one to dig and construct here.
In the future, this place will not only be a laboratory and a potion workshop, but also a place where island thrusters will be installed. People will do the construction... He is absolutely unwilling.
The excavation work was carried out by gopher rats and wind-eroded sandworms - Croya bought several hundred more goose rats and let the first two rats take the training.
The marmot is a natural civil engineer. It knows how to dig a hole so that the hole will not collapse. Even if the hole is expanded dozens of times, it is still possible.
So when Croya came here, what he saw was the earth rat riding on the wind-eroded sandworm and holding the magic chain, instructing the sandworm to dig and expand the cave.
They divided the labor and expanded while digging. Soon they dug a tunnel that was enough for two carriages to stand side by side and about five meters high.
Stairs and steps were also completed due to the erosion of land and rocks by wind-eroded sandworms.
There is an entrance and exit under the aquarium, and there is also an entrance and exit on the castle side.
Passages and rooms will extend in all directions and will be spread throughout the island.
Cloya watched their progress for a while, and after confirming that they were well built and that he didn't need to worry about it, he got up and walked towards the laboratory that had been built.
The steps are a little brisk and expectant.
In that laboratory there is a solid magic bottle plant that he engraved.
In the laboratory built with magic crystals, there is only one Solid Moth pitcher plant growing, which is the original Solid Moth pitcher plant.
When Croya came in, he was stretching out his magic tentacles, putting the materials on the table into his bottle one by one, and then blended and stirred them.
Let the original solution of the potion be fully mixed inside the bottle.
A bottle of Hailingzhi magic medicine was quickly born in its magic bottle.
It carefully tilted its magic bottle with its tentacles, poured the blue magic potion into the crystal bottle, and finally capped it and sealed it with magic power.
After it is completely completed, it emits joy and cheerful consciousness.
He is obviously very satisfied with this job and enjoys it.
“It’s exactly what I thought.”
He nodded with satisfaction. The Separation Technique of Seven Lights that he had used to imprint it had now been fully utilized by it.
Became its means of separating and fusing potion materials.
"Then you need to give birth to elves now, so that you can control other solid magic bottle plants... My sea lingzhi potion production line is complete."
gram Luo Ya took out the fountain of life that was not used up at the time and walked over, opened the bottle and poured a drop of it towards the solid magic pitcherwort.
This drop of spring water full of vitality is quickly absorbed by it, and the spirituality belonging to the spring of life will gradually transform its magic power until it gives birth to spirituality.
After it was born with spirituality, I moved all the remaining solid magic pitcher plants here and built a production line of sea lingzhi magic medicine.
This is the first one, and it won’t be the only one.
Next, he plans to teach Kababmon how to forge iron and how bees brew magic potions. This kind of thing that is a hobby and instinct for them will definitely take more effort than a human being can do.
While Croya was waiting for it to be born with spirituality, the voice of Mu Yaoqu Vine King was a little excited.
"Master! I felt my kindred spirits. They are at the dock of Hanjiao Island! They came back with Samir!"
"Huh?"
Kloya His eyes lit up.
This came just in time. He was worried that the growth rate of Mu Yaoqu Vine King was not fast enough. It would be great if there were more.
