Chapter 246 246. Wonderful Southern Territory, Goodbye Flame Mountain
Sean’s hometown is in the southernmost part of the Norland Kingdom. In such a medieval background, it is almost impossible to reach it quickly.
Unless some magical means are used.
Of course Croya can afford such a price. Even if he sends an army directly to the south, it is not a big deal at all.
But he still specifically ordered the apprentices to carry enough "living weapons" to travel a long distance from north to south, collecting Warcraft and Demonic Plants along the way to fill in illustrated books and draw maps.
In order to ensure their safety along the way, Croya not only submitted an application to the Mage Association and the Norant Court, but also generously stated in the Mage Lords Alliance that his subordinates would go to the South.
Now he is a fifth-level mage, and the highest level in the Mage Lords Alliance is only level six. At this level, there is no need to hide it.
Strength is everything in the world of mages.
So there was no need for him to say anything. As soon as the message was sent out, he got responses from people along the way.
Including the Lord of the Green Forest, the Lord of the Rock Ridge, the Lord of the Demon Swamp... and the Lord of the Flame Mountain who has been in contact.
They all said they would provide maximum convenience.
There is an acquaintance among them, the Lord Yanshan who has been buying enough food with Croya to feed a red dragon. His territory is in the south.
Kloya told Lina that she must first visit Lord Yanshan. This guy had a pretty good relationship with her.
After getting enough information from him, go to mediate the war, and by the way... collect some things and come back.
......
After several months of traveling, Sean and Lina, the leader of the team for this operation, truly saw and felt the difference between the outside world and the northern border. Let’s see how strong their lord’s face ability is.
——No matter how chaotic the area is, the lords from all over the country are very good at managing their territories. With their help, even the most difficult road will become smoother.
By the time the last lord was sent off, the huge stone tablet inscribed with "Norland's Southern Territory" was already in sight.
Sean couldn't help but sigh: "I couldn't sleep well every day when I came here, but now..."
He scratched his hair: "I feel like I I just slept in the car and slept well.”
This is indeed true.
These cars don't look very conspicuous on the outside, but the interiors are all made of silver moon wood, and with magic patterns engraved on them for space expansion, every one of them is a RV.
Coupled with Hanjiao Island's pursuit of quality of life, it has all kinds of facilities, warm in winter and cool in summer, so there is no need to worry about the impact of environmental changes.
Long-distance travel that is difficult for ordinary people to accept is really just travel in their eyes.
You must know that in this world, it is impossible for even the princes and nobles to travel so comfortably.
Lina couldn't help laughing when she heard Sean's words: "All this is Master Croya's ability... huh?"
She turned her head sharply and looked, The reverberating sound wave flower used for exploration on the side suddenly made a piercing alarm sound -
"Beep, beep, beep!"
On the huge flower disk, several small light spots were displayed. Quickly approaching the convoy at extremely high speed, she immediately gave the order to defend.
"Everyone, on alert!"
The convoy stopped immediately, and the apprentices threw a strange vine out of the car. They grew rapidly the moment they landed. The crystal clear vines intertwined with each other to form a transparent wall.
The wall is like a backflowing pot, covering the entire convoy, ensuring that even if there is any attack, it can be defended immediately, allowing them to have time to counterattack.
Then, they saw several strange-looking creatures falling from the sky - they were very tall, almost each one was two meters tall, and overall they looked human-shaped.
But the surface of their skin is made of fine red scales, which are distributed like this on human skin, colorful and flowing with the sunlight; their limbs are extremely developed, and the tips of their toes and fingers are sharp claws; Behind them are huge, powerful bat-like dragon wings and huge tails with sharp edges like knives.
The most important thing... They have sharp and thick dragon horns on their foreheads, and their pupils are also vertical red pupils.
No matter how you look at it, they are inseparable from dragons.
One of them seemed to be the leader who was extraordinarily tall, with dragon and human features that blended quite harmoniously. A strong, muscular male dragon man stepped forward.
Shouting loudly: "Guests from afar, we are the subordinates of Lord Yanshan, and we are here to pick you up specially!"
Nina quickly passed by the Myconids and Hanjiao Island. After confirming the authenticity of this matter, he waved his hand to signal the apprentices to lift their alert.
She stepped out of the car first and walked openly in front of the male dragon.
Although Nina is already quite tall, there is still a gap when facing a draconian. She almost has to raise her head to see the draconian's eyes.
"What should I call you?"
Nina maintained her usual politeness.
"Dragon." The dragon man replied casually, and then made a very polite gesture of invitation.
"Master Yanshan and mother are waiting for you. Please follow the path we have guided."
After saying that, it flew into the sky to lead the way, obviously unwilling to communicate too much.
Nina said nothing more. After getting in the car, she ordered the apprentices to follow the group of dragon people. The car slowly passed the boundary marker of the southern border.
After officially entering the southern border, both the environment and the climate have undergone earth-shaking changes -
The southern border is also very hot, but this heat is different from the refreshing sea breeze in the northern border. The air was completely different, a hot flash even more extreme than the gray desert.
The air is filled with thick moisture, and water droplets can easily form on the metal shell of the car, which is visible to the naked eye, as if you are inside a huge steamer.
Along the way, you can see swamps, wetlands, deep pools and huge insects hidden under the vegetation, as well as huge ferns. The tall and dense trees make it difficult for sunlight to penetrate through the canopy and fall to the ground. There are only a few mottled trees. The sun sets.
This has resulted in an unimaginable amount of humus that is as deep as a person's height under the tree. They are waiting quietly among the tree roots, but the surface is filled with magical aura.
Seeing the hunting spirit, the apprentices immediately collected some after discovering these special soils.
After testing, it was found that the soil contained magic and nutrients that seemed to have been "fermented".
These unknown magic powers are easily absorbed by magic plants. Some of the magic plants they brought with them became energetic instantly after using the soil, as if they were on drugs.
After discovering this, the apprentices couldn’t wait to report to Lina:
“Sister Lina, there is not pure magic in this soil, but an extremely complex combination of magic. "
"I tested a red sunflower, and it absorbs magic faster than the nutrient soil installed on Hanjiao Island."
A man wearing a mage's robe. The apprentice looked excited: "If we can take more back, maybe we can improve the soil structure of the land and let the plants grow better!"
He looked at the vast layer of humus outside. , eyes were shining, and I wanted to go out on the spot to scrape off all the soil and take it away.
Although the other apprentices did not speak, their expressions were basically the same. The soil here was simply fertile soil given by God.
For those who love farming, is there anything more attractive than a piece of land where all kinds of plants can grow freely?
After hearing their descriptions, Nina was of course very moved.
However, they now represent Hanjiao Island!
What's the point of digging three feet into the ground just after arriving on someone else's property? It's just a matter of catching some monsters and pulling out some magic plants, but you still have to dig the soil?
If this matter gets out, it doesn’t matter if they are shameless, but it will definitely cause some trouble to Croya.
So Lina refused and warned:
"Be patient for a while, and I will report it to Lord Croya."
After she said this, the apprentices So I held back.
But as they continued to advance, more and more strange magical plants and magical beasts appeared in front of them in the southern border——
First up are some giant reptiles.
Those monsters covered with thick scales and huge in size, like hills, fight in the swamps and wetlands, and every time they make a movement that is like earth-shaking.
“This, this, this…”
“This is simply an excellent coolie!”
The apprentices’ eyes lit up, this was the first time they had seen this. The Warcraft looks like it is very suitable for pulling carts and doing strenuous work.
"And this! Look, is that the Solid Magic Pitcher Plant?"
An apprentice with sharp eyes saw a huge tree that was more than ten meters high in the distance. Plants, bottles one after another growing on the plants, and many insects approaching.
“That’s a magic pitcher plant!”
Sean, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn’t help but say: “They survive by catching bugs, and the bottle is highly poisonous and contains Corrosive liquid!" When he said this, the apprentices seemed to wake up from a dream.
This guy looks like... he grew up in the south!
So, he was instantly surrounded by enthusiastic apprentices.
“What is this?”
“Where is this? And this?”
These apprentices each took their own notebooks and began to frequently ask questions about what they saw along the way. Various magic plants and monsters.
Should I say it or not, Sean is really good. He can describe most of the functions and provides precious information to the apprentices.
You must know that if you want to make a living in a harsh environment like the Southern Territory, you will definitely not be able to survive without learning and understanding the magical beasts and magical plants that can kill them.
Even for ordinary people, the knowledge passed down from generation to generation is definitely enough to surprise the mages.
Because...
Masters study just for the sake of research, while people study these magic plant monsters in order to stay alive.
So Sean really had no time to spare during this journey.
In two days, apart from being able to sleep after ten o'clock in the evening, Sean would be surrounded by apprentices asking all kinds of questions as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning.
There was no time to happily sleep under the blanket, and Sean could only answer all kinds of complicated questions honestly.
When the convoy finally arrived at the territory of Lord Yanshan, he already felt dizzy and dizzy, as if someone had taken a spoon and emptied it out.
So much so that when the dragons landed and the car stopped, he felt like tears filled his eyes.
Finally free!
......
When the car entered the Yanshan Territory, it was deep inside the Yanshan Territory.
“My love.”
Lord Yanshan gently held the arm of the woman next to him, but veins seemed to appear on his palms.
I don't know what's going on, but this tall and strong woman seems to be a little sleepy. The clothes on her body are all loose, as if she has just been taken out of the bed.
"Huh?"
The woman heard the voice of Lord Yanshan, sobered up a little, and blinked her eyes in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"... "
"The men of the friend who often supplies food are here. They seem to want to interfere in the war between Duke Nar and Duke Olivier," Lord Yanshan explained in a low voice.
He was used to Long's embarrassing memory and could only repeat it once.
As a result, the woman's eyes lit up after hearing this, and a trace of bloodthirsty light flashed in her giant reptile-like pupils.
"Duke Nar and Duke Olivier..."
She murmured this sentence again, and suddenly held Yanshan's hand tightly. If the latter hadn't been used to it long ago, he immediately With the addition of an Iron Bone Technique, the bones in the hand will be crushed.
But even so, he was so painful that he almost shed tears, and said quickly: "Calm down!"
"My love! My hand!!!"
The woman then realized that she had exerted too much force, and quickly let go. She opened her mouth to Yanshan's somewhat green and purple arms, and gently spit out a A ball of flame.
The flame was as red as blood, but it was not hot. Instead, it was full of indescribable life force.
The moment it landed on Yanshan’s arm, the purple scar quickly disappeared until it completely recovered.
If there were magicians and scholars who had studied dragons deeply here, they would probably jump up in shock.
Although flame is the innate ability of the red dragon, being able to spit out the fire of life is not something that ordinary red dragons can do.
Only the legendary "Ruby Dragon" can do it.
That is a strange species among the red dragons. There may not be one among hundreds of young dragons. Even...their flames can recall the souls that have gone to the underworld.
“Huh.”
Yanshan, who had long been accustomed to his wife’s inability to control his own power, finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t take it seriously at all, comforting him:
"I know you hate them, doesn't this opportunity come?"
"Your brother and sister...are still in the hands of Duke Nar?"
In ten years Duke Nar and Duke Olivier had been waging a war before, and had been fighting for a special secret realm deep in the south.
To outsiders, it may just be a struggle for resources. After all, the secret realm is a special small plane that can produce some expensive materials.
But only a few people know that what they are fighting for is not actually the small secret plane, but the dragon's nest inside, the "Ruby Nest" left by a giant dragon long ago.
There are not only the eggs of the ruby dragon, but also the eggs of many ordinary red dragons and various dragon beasts.
Whoever can control that secret realm can get the treasure inside, which is a nest of ruby dragons and red dragons!
Speaking of which, Yanshan only found out about this after he picked up his wife, and he has always remembered it in his heart.
He knew that his wife wanted to rescue his brothers and sisters, so he took the initiative to participate when Croya proposed to intervene in the war.
Nora, who was still a loli dragon according to the age of the dragon clan, thought of her brother and sister who were still in the egg, and finally nodded silently.
"My love, if they can help me find my brother and sister, I am willing to give them the key to the dragon's nest.
I hope the lord of Hanjiao Island can treat them well."
Yanshan just held his wife's hand tightly and looked into the distance -
In a bare, desert-like scenery.
A convoy finally arrived here.
The dragon man named Dragon flapped his wings and flew over. With a child's admiration for his mother on his face, he knelt down respectfully.
"Mother, sir."
"I brought them safely."
At this time, Nora no longer looked as dazed as before. It looks elegant and majestic.
She praised: "Well done, my child."
A flush of excitement flashed across Dragon's face, he grinned his white and neat teeth, and stood obediently behind the man and the dragon.
At this time, Lina was already holding a box that Croya had given her before leaving, and walked over calmly.
"Master Yanshan, madam, this is a gift from our lord to you." She saluted and handed the box over.
The Ruby Dragon Nora was not someone who could wait at all. She tore open the beautifully packaged box on the spot, and then she saw at a glance the red gem that was beating like a heart inside.
The shape of the gem is like a red heart, even the blood vessels are very clear, and under the crystal clear shell is a flame that beats like life.
As the sealed box was destroyed, it immediately emitted indescribable vitality and heat, and the sound of "bang bang bang" heartbeats could be heard in everyone's ears.
The instinct of the dragon tribe to love gems made her exclaim: "This is the Red Heart of Fate! It is a treasure that can only be found in the extremely deep earth!"
There was something in her eyes. With a drunken look on his face, he hugged the gem like a dog hugging a bone. He just stuck out his tongue and licked it a few times.
Yanshan: "..."
If he can't see that his wife loves this gem, then he is a fool.
But people are still here!
He sighed helplessly and said: "Let's talk after we go in, I need to communicate with your lord in person!"
Originally, he planned to reveal some things depending on the situation, but now it seems that this plan is It’s time to give up.
Long's love and hate are very clear. It is estimated that at this moment, his wife has regarded the generous and generous Lord Hanjiao, whom she has never met, as her good friend.
It seems that some things have been made clearer.
I don’t know if these first- and second-level mage apprentices can really interfere in that war.
