Soul of Burning Steel

Standing on the ice of Nissie Snow Lake, the silver-haired girl blinked her green eyes, quietly looking at the lake at the bottom through the ice

Under the translucent ice layer, the snow lake water is clear, and the depth is silent and deep. Above the sky, a ray of sunlight leaked from between the clouds, and the golden light slanted in like a sharp sword. space, refracting blurred colors.

Nostradamus and the other dwarves brought by Moria were also staring at the bottom of the ice layer, but unlike Ying's patient gaze, the dwarves all had a hint of doubt on their faces.

Why haven't you come up yet?

This is what everyone thinks. Could something be wrong?

Exploring the bottom of the lake is not a difficult task. You must know that both Joshua and Moria are gold-level powerhouses. If it is deep, then it is not a problem for them. Even if there is magic interference in a mere snow lake, it should have been explored by them long ago.

But in fact, after a long time, they still haven't come up.

"Could it be that there is something special at the bottom of the lake, and the master and the lord didn't have time to inform us, so they started researching it on the spot?"

A dwarf couldn't help but said that he was a disciple of Moria, he was not very old, and there were only two iron rings on his beard. He looked puzzled: "The lake is deep and the bottom is big, Can't finish the survey all at once?"

"It's just a snow lake, how can it be deep?"

Another dwarf grumbled and frowned, "But it's been more than ten minutes. According to the experience of the master, even if it's a sea area, it shouldn't be so slow to explore..."

Neither Ying nor Nostradamus spoke, and let the dwarves conduct their own discussions. One was looking at the bottom of the ice intently, while the other was mentally wandering, with his eyes scattered, as if he was thinking about something.

As time went by, even the calmest dwarves felt a little strange at the beginning, and even Ying frowned, and the old mage also moved his eyes to look under the ice layer, but at this moment, a wave suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake. Faint vibrations and light.

Then, under the shocked gaze of everyone, the magical colorful rainbow light rushed straight up, breaking through the deep lake water, passing through the transparent ice layer, and changing bright and unpredictable brilliance on it.

Not only that, but one after another the magical light surged like floods and sea waves, which made everyone present open their mouths in surprise, immersed in the beautiful scene beside them, and accompanied by the sound of ice cracking , the two figures also broke through the water and returned to the top of the lake.

It was Joshua and Moria with serious faces.

The clothes on their bodies were not soaked by the lake water because of the protection of fighting spirit. The old dwarf refused his disciple's act of handing him the coat, but followed the warrior and walked towards Nostradamus.

And the old mage saw the serious expressions of the two of them, and understood that the two of them must have encountered some strange things at the bottom of the lake, and it seemed that it was obviously a big event.

This is of course, because at this time the magical rainbow light has begun to spread towards the sky, and there are also faint aurora and rainbows in the sky. Such a big change must not be a big deal.

But even if he was mentally prepared, Nostradamus couldn't help but let out an exclamation after listening to Joshua's description, even if he was as calm as him.

"Six hundred meters deep - palm prints?!"

The old mage took a deep breath, his eyes were full of surprise, his white beard trembled, setting off his shock: "This power! I can't comment... Also, Moria, you confirm that it is a thousand years Formed before?!"

"Yes."

Moria nodded. He touched the metal ring on his beard, his golden eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was very serious: "I swear in the name of the son of the mountain and the earth, and my beard, according to the results of my years of survey According to experience, the geological changes in this lake did appear nearly a thousand years ago."

"I don't see any geological information." Joshua stood aside and shrugged. He looked very calm, presumably because he had been surprised before: "However, even if it is an extreme level Rage God, the most powerful opponent I have ever met, it is impossible to create such a trace."

"This is a problem of power cohesion and control." He seriously commented on the aspect of combat effectiveness: "In terms of pure strength, the powerful ultimate and legendary powerhouses can do this, but there is no doubt about it It would implicate the Nissier Snow Mountain next to it, even if it collapsed, it would not be surprising to collapse, but this palm print was printed on the ground like this, and even the magic crystal veins at the bottom were not crushed. This kind of control It’s terrible, it’s like piercing a pinhole with a thread with enough force to flatten steel.”

"Indeed, this kind of control, even if it is Israel, may not be able to be achieved by the current emperor of the empire, and a thousand years ago..."

Hearing the two people's analysis from two aspects, Nostradamus lowered his head. After thinking for a while, he slowly said with a serious expression: "Today is Starfall 832, and a thousand years ago...that was The lost three hundred years."

Hearing this word, both Joshua and Moria frowned subconsciously. Obviously, it was not the first time for them to hear this word.

There are too many unknowns about the meaning of this word.

Between the Glorious Era and the Starfall Era, the 300-year lost era that traverses the two eras has really annihilated too much history and too much news, because of it, human beings have been pushed back from the most prosperous period to the ancient world. In the feudal era, because of it, there were gaps in countless advanced technologies, and people could only start researching again. That was the era after the destruction and before the creation. This was an era that was lost and full of fog.

And this palm print appeared in that era, and the meaning contained in it can't help but make people fall into contemplation.

"This news...don't tell anyone else for now."

Nostradamus turned his head slightly, looked at the dwarves not far away, who were immersed in the magnificent scenery of the magical rainbow light, and he seemed to be pointing: "Researching it is a long-term and large-scale project. If possible, try to Don't let anyone else know about it, just let 'us' come."

Both the warrior and the old dwarf nodded. No one would talk about such things casually, but Moria couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Actually, I don't talk about those big things. I originally thought that the water depth in this place is only more than one hundred It is more convenient to mine magic crystals, but now it seems that the bottom of the water is 600 meters deep, how can people mine magic crystals..."

Hearing this, Joshua also sighed with some regret. Originally, he thought that this magic spar vein could generate some income for the territory, but he didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected event, which is really a pity.

Today's survey came to an end for now. Joshua invited Moria and Nostradamus to visit his new Lord's Mansion, and the two readily agreed. However, after seeing the fortress-like granite castle, The two couldn't help but silently sighed in their hearts about the taste of soldiers, and then stayed down.

And the construction of the academy was extremely quick.

It is already a warm spring day in May of Gale. Although the location of Nissier Snow Mountain makes it still a little cold nearby, this low temperature is already a level for people in the north to take a comfortable walk. Regardless of any impact, countless construction workers happily carried equipment and materials into the deep mountains to start the most preliminary preparations.

Although it is difficult to build on the mountainside, their actions are assisted by mages. With the help of levitation, reduction and weight reduction, countless huge and heavy building materials that cannot be transported by manpower are easily transported to It piled up halfway up the mountain.

In order to build better and faster, Joshua also sent out his knights to help the construction workers and dwarves in the construction, which can be regarded as honing their physical strength.

These knights trained under the warriors, after practicing the breathing method, are all strong and strong, and their endurance is also very long. After seeing their labor, Joshua couldn't help but understand, why is there such a thing in this world? The city walls and buildings are so magnificent, tens of meters high and tens of meters thick at every turn, no less than the super buildings of the previous life.

Any black iron-level construction worker can move several tons of building materials with the help of the most convenient spells, and the Silver Knight is equivalent to a large industrial machine whether it is digging the mountainside or carrying it. Strength, although they occasionally complain that this kind of work is degrading to the honor of knights, but after seeing people like Joshua, Moria and even Nostradamus occasionally helping them in person, this kind of complaint is no longer a problem. disappeared without a trace.

With the assistance of Master Jiyi's magic, the progress of the project is very fast. The foundation has been laid in less than a month, and the most basic structure of the college has been contracted. The space in the mountainside is also located in Joshua and Moria. After leading a group of silver knights to complete the excavation, they even accidentally discovered a high-purity iron-copper associated vein in the mountainside. Of course, now is not the time to mine this thing.

Star Fall 832, Sunshine June, 3rd, Nissie Snow Mountain, at the foundation of the college halfway up the mountain.

Joshua stood on the open platform, looking at the hard-working construction workers and knights in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Not to mention ordinary workers, these knights are comparable to those with heavy armor and extremely fast speed in terms of combat power. Tanks, and as a labor force, can also be compared to large construction machines."

As for the strength of the construction workers, although they could be called monsters compared to ordinary people, there was still a big gap compared with the knights.

However, the immediate results are enough to be called swift. Moria personally appraised that the quality of the foundation is very good, enough to support the magnificent academy district in the Nostradamus plan, and the hardest transportation and excavation work can It has been finished by the knights, and the next step is to let those construction workers build the entire college.

This kind of fine work, even with the help of spells, will definitely not be fast, but it will definitely not be too slow. According to the old dwarf's speculation, more than half a year is enough to set up a rough framework, and it will be faster in the future.

And Joshua couldn't help but think of the later stage of the great development of magic energy technology in his previous life.

"There is such productivity now, if it is assisted by the civilian magic armor in the future, it will be even faster."

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but nodded.

As a product of semi-assisted magic energy technology that can assist people in work, enhance strength, endurance and accuracy, magic armor is not only used for combat, but also has miraculous effects for infrastructure construction.

Although the current construction workers cannot match the knights in terms of basic strength, if they all have a set of the most basic magic armor frame, then the speed of both transportation and construction will be a few steps faster, leveling and knights The gap, and the accuracy of the machine is definitely higher than most ordinary architects.

Magic armor is a great invention that allows ordinary people to have knight-level strength. The greater the strength, the higher the efficiency. In the last period of the previous life, its popularization has kicked off. Under the current situation, there is no way to complete large-scale installation and manufacturing, but everyone believes that as long as it starts to be popularized, it will be the prologue of the magic revolution and the horn of counterattack. If a powerful warrior has stronger armor to arm , the power will also be further improved.

Thinking of this, without any hesitation, Joshua immediately found Moria, who was directing the construction, and the two immediately started discussing details on this point.

The old dwarf has always been very interested in the magic armor, which is a completely different design idea from the armor he made before.

With magic technology as the core and forging as the auxiliary, although some dwarves will not like this design, as rune dwarves, the combination of magic and forging is their instinct.

He came to the main city of Moldavia to look for Joshua, precisely because of this technology, even helping to build the rune factory was only incidental, and now the soldiers are willing to take the initiative to discuss with him, of course he is very happy, Moriah was on the spot He left the work in hand and handed it over to one of his disciples to discuss related issues with Joshua.

Although the design drawing drawn last time was burnt to ashes by the aftermath of the space-time transmission, they quickly designed a new set of more mature armor ideas.

Leaving the construction site on Nissie Snow Mountain, the two returned to the main city of Moldavia, and came to the sealing room under the cemetery church. They used the advanced forging equipment and alchemy equipment there to start preliminary Forge and experiment.

With Joshua and Moria's resolute character and action, coupled with detailed design drawings and a steady supply of materials, soon, not long after, the first set of experimental magic armor was finished. Coming soon.

And on the great plain in the northwest of the empire, the final war against the orcs also sounded a low and solemn horn.
