Chapter 54 The Visit of the Natural Teacher
When Joshua returned to his private collection room in the Lord's Mansion, a hall full of various giant dragon heads that had been processed by spell miniatures, he learned some new news from other Lord's Mansion staff.
For example, his reward for participating in the Crazy Dragon War.
A few months ago, the soldiers fought bloody battles in the holy mountains of the distant sea and almost lost them. Thanks to the help of the natural mentor, Pope Eagle and several other priests of the extreme level, this did not really die. Although the process was difficult, the rewards were also very generous.
Just before the war began, as a weapon of Joshua, the brothers and brothers of Ying and Lin had been strengthened to the level of holy weapons, and the empire also sent a floating warship. Although the Liefeng was already hit by a certain tremendous dragon in the middle of the war, and the wreckage was also recovered by the Empire Magic Laboratory, the warriors had already had a good time, and he could not afford to raise them anyway, so it didn't matter at all.
The reward after the war is even more abundant. Not to mention the favorability of the priests and reputation in the holy mountain, there are still countless returns in terms of material aspects.
Due to the losses caused by the war, the funds of the Seven Gods Church are now insufficient to repair the original defensive magic array on the Holy Mountain, so they did not give a pure financial return, but used various materials to mortgage it.
Joshua looked at the list in his hand, then turned his head and looked at a large iron-green box that was carefully placed there by the maid in the corner of the hall not far away.
The control core of the five hundred magic automatic puppets, as well as a supporting control manual.
"...Because I don't have money to create a puppet body, should I just give the core theory of control to me..."
Joshua murmured to himself, but he also knew that the core of the five hundred automatic puppets was already very expensive. For the Moldavian tribe, which was not short of minerals and casters, it was almost equivalent to suddenly five hundred silver-level combat power. And handing over the core means giving up the final manufacturing method to Joshua and the Empire. In this way, the Seven Gods Church is still very sincere.
With his head down and continuing to look at the list, Joshua blinked, then turned to look to the other side of the hall.
There was a huge iron box engraved with miniature magic, which was written carefully in the font of the Far South Kingdom with several large characters, "Valuable items, please hold them lightly."
"Floating ring."
The warrior nodded, and he almost forgot about this thing.
Because Hei, who is a giant dragon and a mount, cannot fly, every time Joshua wants to rush to go or fight some flying enemies, he can only play by himself, and cannot attack handsomely with dragons. Therefore, the warriors have always complained about this, but the floating ring can solve this problem.
The floating ring developed by the Seven Gods Church in order to enable the giant war puppets to have the ability to fly maneuver, was rejected for various reasons and only created one prototype. After learning about Joshua's request, they modified the prototype so that it could cooperate with the black body, allowing this aquatic fire dragon to fly, and dominate the land, sea and air from then on.
The floating ring can defend itself by relying on the magic power of equipment, but before it is equipped, it is a fragile iron block engraved with runes. This huge iron box is firmly placed on a sheepskin carpet, which is enough to show the carrier's caution.
"However, I remember that Hei seemed a little afraid of height..."
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but frown, but then he immediately stretched out: "No matter what she thinks, she will definitely learn more training anyway."
Heilong, who was feeling comfortable and was receiving the cleaning service of the Shenji brothers and sisters, suddenly shivered and shivered. Amid the dissatisfied rebukes of Firefly and Rin, Hei, who was awakened from his sleep, looked around cautiously, but could not find the source of the dangerous chill.
In addition to these things, there are many fragmented items and personnel, such as a complete set of the latest alchemy laboratory equipment, several elite priests who were specially sent to join Winter Castle Academy for teaching, five-on-one male and one female winged war horses, and many high-quality holy waters with characteristics... In short, the Seven Gods Church has definitely shown its sincerity, and its list is so strong that the warriors are too lazy to continue watching.
Most of the supplies from the Holy Mountain will arrive in Moldavia before spring comes. Now the ones placed in the hall are the most expensive batches sent by teleportation spells.
On the other hand, although the empire's reward is not as rich as the Holy Mountain, it is indeed quite a lot.
Not to mention pure money, reputation in the empire, and rewards for family and aristocratic titles, the Moldavian leader can now have an army of 3,000 people. This is different from the city defense force and patrol guards, which are more like police, and also from the private army and knights belonging to Joshua. This is a formal army organization, a team that can receive subsidies from the Imperial Army.
Originally, most of the formal troops of Moldavia were stationed in the Black Forest fortress and fought against the Black Tide year after year. But now, in addition to the Black Forest fortress, the soldiers stationed in other villages and towns except the main city also have great room for the organization of soldiers. This is indeed a very important thing for the Northern Territory, which is suffering from cultists and unsuspecting adventurers. The most important thing is that most of the expenses are paid by the Imperial Army, so why not?
In fact, this reward alone is completely enough, but it is obvious that the empire is not short of money, so it is unwilling to treat Joshua unfairly.
Isrell once promised to provide Gioshua with a batch of materials that can advance the divine machine in his personal name. This is different from the use of the power of holy light to infiltrate the holy mountain, but another kind of improvement. Now, this batch of materials is on the way. According to the messenger, it has arrived at the level of the Ural Mountains. It only takes more than ten days to reach Moldavia.
In addition, it is a small floating boat. This 37-meter-long airship inherited the establishment of the Liefeng and has a large number of magic weapons. It is a new product created by the Imperial Magic Laboratory through the experimental data obtained on the Original Liefeng. It can not only fly rapidly in the air, but also enter the seawater to dive into the sea. This is a warship that is both sea and air. The reason why the laboratory handed it over to Qiao Xiuya was that it hopes that the soldiers would collect data when traveling.
After all, everyone knows that the Count of Moldavia has never been a person who can stay in the territory for how long.
The following fragments and gifts from Moldova were too cumbersome. However, a few days ago, Brandon, who had already advanced to the extreme, came to see Joshua when he was preparing to return to the imperial capital after being warmed up with his wife and daughter. In addition to discussing with the soldiers, he also informed the soldiers of an important news.
"The imperial capital is not peaceful now."
The blonde swordsman was tidying up his collar when he said this, but it could be seen that he was not a guy who could deal with clothes. After a long time of work and finally giving up, Brandon seemed to be trying to hide his embarrassment, and said in a serious tone that he had no expression on the face of Joshua, "Since His Majesty the Emperor returned from the Holy Mountain, it has been a long time since he appeared on a formal occasion. According to Teacher Nostradamus, he seemed to be troubled by something, and the atmosphere among the nobles of the imperial capital was also very strange."
"You know." Speaking of this, Brandon shrugged: "I've been in the North for too long, so I don't know the situation very well, but I can vaguely guess why it's all because of the second prince, Dimore Delmond, and Joshua. You've seen him once, and you should understand that this is a dispute within the imperial royal family. Be careful, maybe someone has regarded you as a thorn in your side."
At that time, Joshua scratched his head inexplicably, and then subconsciously moved his fingers.
"Treat me as a thorn in my eyes? I said, shouldn't they be careful?"
A speechless expression flashed through his mind. The warrior suddenly remembered something, and he thought with some annoyance: "Damn it, I forgot to borrow his double blades of order from Brandon again."
But this is not a big deal. The blonde swordsman often comes to the north to meet Villdanni, and it doesn't matter if he asks again next time.
Peaceful days always pass quickly, and more than ten days pass by, but a lot of things have happened in these ten days.
After experiencing an adventure in the Great Aes Mountains, the students of Winter Castle ushered in another practical test. This time, the first place was not the brother and sister Ivan and Amira, but the half-dwarf in their team. This strong half-dwarf who had just grown up and awakened his racial talent to resist magic skin and stone skin techniques is basically an invincible existence in the academy that is at most Black Iron level. He laughed and knocked over a dozen desperate opponents, and kicked his good friends out of the ring one by one.
After studying for a long time, the two deans, Joshua and Nostradamus, finally decided to let the half-dwarf student with poor written test scores choose whether to transfer to the newly established Warrior Branch or to continue to stay in the Spellcaster Main Academy. However, the result was unexpected. The little guy named Nick was an unexpectedly devout Seven Gods believer. He was attracted by several golden priests from the Seven Gods Church and became a young Paladin apprentice.
As for those young white dragons, they thrived under the leadership of the blue dragon Sularno. In just a few months, some young white dragons have learned to control magic and fly on both sides. Generally speaking, the white dragons that tend to be more likely to awaken themselves to the ability to control ice and liquid, rather than to the auxiliary flight of the atmosphere. However, their mentors are a very meaningful blue dragon after all, and it is helpless to be influenced by the free elements on the other party.
And there are also a lot of good news from the dwarf gathering places.
Last time, the news sent with the Holy Mountain was a notice from the old dwarf Moria. By studying the special live metal on the steel element first, they have successfully made a brand new rune puppet, but under the test, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects. For example, as long as the first is too far away, the live metal will gradually lose its activity and become an ordinary alloy again within a few days.
In the past ten days, the rune dwarves made a big breakthrough. By imitating the energy flow in the body of the first zodiac, they successfully kept the rune puppets active for more than ten days. Of course, this is far from enough, but Joshua believes that the dwarves who have found the right path should soon get the final result.
In this way, the promise to someone can be done.
Star Falls on February 18, 834, Moldavia, the main city, and the lord's mansion.
Joshua was enjoying his own lunch in the restaurant.
A warrior who has reached the extreme state of mind is now unable to obtain enough energy to maintain the body's function from eating. Even the energy consumed by his digestive organs is far more than the nutrients contained in ordinary foods, but no matter what, eating is never about simply living.
The main dish on the dining table is the most exquisite pork chop made of a demon beef. The fried noodles are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and are extremely fragrant. It contains rich magic power of earth elements, which is full of chewyness.
The side dishes are special dishes made of various magic plants and are cooked with the flesh and blood of the monster. The simple taste is secondarily. Each dish can provide a lot of magic power to strengthen the body and spirit. This satisfaction is not something that ordinary food can provide.
Although these enhancement effects are already a drop in the bucket for Joshua today and have no effect at all, because Rin, a part-time chef, has become more refined in cooking, the warriors are willing to sit at the dining table and sweep the food away for the taste alone.
It took about five minutes to eat the whole table. Qiao Xiuya, under the shocked gaze of Ying, took the letter from the girl of Shenji. He asked casually: "What's wrong with Ying? Are there any urgent news?"
"It's not urgent news, but it's Mr. Nostradamus's handwritten letter. I think it's better to let the master open it with your own hands."
After calming down, the silver-haired girl forced herself to forget the windy and cloud-like eating scene of her master, and then said in a slightly puzzled tone: "But didn't you discuss it with the old wizard a few days ago in the academy? Why didn't you talk about it at that time?"
"Because this means that the letter is indeed what has happened in the past few days."
After disassembling the letter, Joshua swept over it intently.
His expression suddenly became serious.
"The Nature Tutor and his party had already arrived at the border of the Empire secretly yesterday..."
The warrior murmured to himself as he watched: "A legendary strong man came to visit with an envoy from the Elf King Court. His Majesty Isrell is going to meet the other party in the imperial capital... The two sides will conduct a series of strategic cooperation and negotiations in accordance with the principles of complementary advantages, mutual benefit, long-term cooperation and common development. This is an official statement and has nothing to do with me."
After passing a large section of diplomatic nonsense similar to "friendly and friendly conversation strategic partnership" in the middle, Joshua looked at the last paragraph.
"So that's it... After the natural tutor met with the capital, he would go directly to the Great Eas Volcano, and the reward materials from the empire would also be transported together. At that time, the team would be led by me, and I would take these elves to see if the portal was still in place and whether it could go to the world of Ilgna."
After roughly understanding the meaning of Nostradamus's letter, Joshua put the letter paper on the table and pondered.
He had already made preparations for this matter. Now the passage leading to the Great Aes Volcano, the original underground cave had been dug out by workers wearing magic armor, but the warrior himself had not seen it yet. However, according to what the workers said, the possibility of the transmission passage being intact was very low.
You should know that the teleportation channel was destroyed, but the evil god of natural disaster took action personally. The world coordination magic circle's full force attack turned the entire Sigma volcano into nothingness, and even the underground lava reservoir was completely penetrated. The remaining waves even caused signs of eruption of the Great Aes volcano on the other end of the world. Joshua believed that the space-time channel would definitely not be completely destroyed, but it would be impossible to pass normally.
But this has nothing to do with the warriors. Anyway, Joshua only needs to take this group of people to the space-time channel. With the background of the legendary strongman and the elves' court, some warriors can definitely find that they cannot find clues.
Maybe they can really find a way to go to the world of Ilgna?
"Is there any problem? Master?"
Ying looked at Joshua thinking and couldn't help feeling a little strange. She thought for a while, and then asked softly: "Are you not full?"
"I won't be full even if I eat more than a dozen meals. Of course, the problem is not this."
Shaking his head, Joshua stood up, he moved his fingers, and said, "Okay, Firefly, wait for me to accompany me to the Snow Mountain in Nissie."
After rubbing the girl's hair that was well-behaved, the soldier smiled and said, "I need to prepare well, so that the guests from far away can't feel that we are insincere."
