Chapter 27 Look, what have we found?
Of course, future adventures are naturally very interesting and worth looking forward to, but Joshua still has some important things to do now.
After Yu Isrel and Nostradamus agreed on some details about exploring the distortion points of space-time, everyone left the fairyland together and returned to the center of the Morley Palace.
During this period, some little goblins flew over to say goodbye. They followed the will of the four goblin queens. Congratulations to the two new legends, Nostradamus and Joshua, the goblins are actually very familiar with the current situation on the mainland. They have a complete information channel. However, because the Earth Element Queen was seriously injured by the energy torrent of the Great Demon Tide last year, and the other three were also injured in various sizes. Therefore, during that time, the Goblin Town blocked contacts and did not have time to send envoys to the north.
After Nostradamus advanced to the legend, there was no need to worry about it. However, before going to his residence to consolidate his strength, the old mage still needed to reorganize the magic circles around the imperial capital. Because he advanced to the legend and tear apart the space-time and space-time anchoring magic circles over the imperial capital were severely damaged, which was also a side effect of his shocking appearance.
Isrell was going to sort out some housework. The emperor's housework was actually government affairs. He didn't return to the imperial capital for a few months, and the imperial capital was reborn in a tide. Many nobles and major forces were ready to move. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to suppress it. In addition, there were a lot of important matters around the empire waiting for him to deal with. During the entire spring celebration, Isrell probably had no other time to do other things.
As for Joshua.
"Let's go, Firefly, No. 3, let you wait for a long time."
He picked up the firefly who was still waiting in the hall and placed her on his shoulder. Joshua held the No. 3 hand beside him, and controlled his strength to lift it slightly so that he would not break the carpet floor of the Morley Palace or something else: "Let's go and have a look around this celebration."
"Okay, master!" This was the cheerful response of fireflies. The girl had long been used to Joshua leaving herself from time to time. Anyway, there must be something to do.
"Too slow, Joshua." This is the complaint of No. 3: "Where have you been?"
Even though she said so, she still obediently held the warrior's hand.
The shopping process is a bit unkind. After all, no one is so stupid that he can chat with the legendary warrior's female companion. It is impossible for a nobleman who has been kicked by a donkey to provoke the Count of the Northern Land. In fact, the Ferta's family and the Suward family members who have a grudge against Joshua had already retreated completely while the soldiers entered the imperial capital, leaving only a few family members to investigate the news.
What's more, Joshua also used a secret method to block his presence at this time. Most people could not notice his existence. Of course, the price was that passers-by around would feel a palpitation and chill for no reason. Many people muttered whether there were ghosts nearby. Moreover, although most people had heard of the title of the legendary warrior Earl Radcliff, they actually did not know Joshua's appearance. So when Firefly and No. 3 wanted to buy something and the warrior paid the bill, the shop owner or the chamber of commerce cashier would not have any other special reactions except being shocked by the "suddenly" warriors and their group of people.
Otherwise, the soldiers would go wherever they went, so how could they go shopping?
In the commercial street of Queens Avenue, Joshua unexpectedly saw Brandon Verdani and the other two in the VIP area of the Frost Diamond Chamber of Commerce. Brandon seemed to be talking about some topics about the current situation and Queen Edna's miscalculation today. The Purple-haired Countess was in a few words and then asked in a gentle voice why the swordsman paid attention to other ladies and Queen Edna.
This is indeed a good question, even if he has gone through thousands of battles and advanced to the extreme, Brandon cannot answer it. He can answer some truth, for example, he is the heir of the Caus family after all, so of course he has to pay attention to the situation in the imperial capital, but after this, he will definitely not be able to get it after returning home.
So soon after, when he met these two people at another luxury goods dealer, he found that there was a string of exquisite necklaces made of [Eran Crystal] on Vildanni's neck. This precious crystal, which is rumored to come from deep underground, is worth more than ten times the weight of pure gold. Brandon seems to be bleeding heavily.
Be careful, my friend. The warrior shook his head with emotion, but he could actually see that the blonde swordsman was also very happy.
"What are you looking at, Joshua."
Hearing the sound, the soldier lowered his head and looked to his side. No. 3 did not pay attention to Joshua's movements. She probably asked casually because the AI lady's eyes were scanning the large area of crystal ore in front of her.
This is the exhibition area of Cangyan Chamber of Commerce from the Wind-Eced Sand Yuan. They are the largest luxury goods traders in the southeastern region of the empire. What is located in front of the three of Joshuya is the amethyst ore they exhibit today. Amethyst is a natural magic-accum gem second only to Elam Crystal and several other rare-yield ores. They are mostly used to inscribe runes and serve as the cornerstone of some large-scale magic arrays.
Speaking of which, the body of No. 3 seems to be a large piece of rune crystal?
Thinking of this, why didn’t Joshua know what Miss Artificial Intelligence think? So he waved his hand and said, “Buy.”
And just as the warriors were shopping in the imperial capital.
Northland, deep in the Great Eas Mountains.
The sunlight at noon shot out from the rolling clouds, shining on the earth that had just thawed from the ice and snow. It covered the green jungle in the mountains with a dazzling golden halo, and officially announced the arrival of spring.
The sound of lava surging deep in the sleeping Great Aes volcano is roaring, and between the concave and convex ravines on the surface around it, you can see large areas of black forests growing vigorously based on fertile volcanic ash. As the representative of the will that remains after the death of [Evil Gods], the black forests spread all over the continent have a prosperous vitality different from normal life. This vitality is nurturing countless monsters. They are monsters that threaten the lives of the people in the north, and are also the targets of countless adventurers to come from afar to capture and hunt, because many of these monsters that grow in volcanoes and extreme cold are cherished and have great value.
But no matter how great the value is, it cannot be compared with a kind of creature.
That's the dragon.
The Astral Dragon, the Original Dragon, no matter what kind of dragon it is, their existence itself means gold and merits. There are many treasures to be excavated on a sub-dragon with dragon blood. For example, the highly toxic blood comparable to strong acid will be purchased by alchemists at a high price, and the tough and light leather will also be sought after by some rangers, not to mention the sharp claws and fangs that can be used to grind daggers and short swords. The achievements of killing a sub-dragon are enough to become a knight or even a baron in some countries.
The sub-dragons alone have such value, not to mention that the flesh and blood all over the body are equivalent to the astral dragon and the high-level original dragon with the same weight of gold. It seems that no creature can surpass them in pure value. The crystals above the head of a super-yi star crown can buy a city in Xishan, and the poison sac in the body of a high-grade green dragon can be used to make terrifying biological and chemical weapons that poison tens of thousands of people. Their value is already above luxury goods, and is equivalent to extremely scarce strategic materials. If you can kill a giant dragon, you will be worshipped by everyone as the "dragon slayer", because that is the best proof of power.
But in fact, there is actually a kind of creature that has a value that exceeds them.
That is the ancient dragon.
The ancient dragon, a creature that exists in legends and history, had already fallen into silence in the last era. The last time the news of the ancient dragon appeared was in the north four hundred years ago. At that time, in order to expel the ancient dragon, it was just expelling rather than hunting, the empire sent hundreds of golden strong men and multiple extreme strong men to support the formation, and a legendary wizard was on standby for support at any time. The money consumed by dispatching such an expedition army was enough to directly bankrupt a small country and put a heavy burden on an empire. In the end, after confirming that the ancient dragon had left, no one would think that such a cautious act was a waste of money and everyone was glad that they did not have to be an enemy of such an existence.
This is the value of the ancient dragon. Existence alone is enough to be compared with an empire. Its rumor can make a country ready for battle and become an enemy of it. It is no longer a "fight" but a "war".
Therefore, because of the great value of ancient dragons, there is such an adventurer listed separately in the categories of all adventurers. They chased the news of ancient dragons and looked for clues of their past existence. They are called ancient dragon chasers and have been exploring the long sleeping place of the legendary dragons all their lives.
Among all the ancient dragon chasers, the most famous are the two legendary powerful men, "rune master" Barnier and "mind control" William.
Because of their childhood dreams, these two legendary powerful men resolutely decided when they were young, to give up all the family's industry and inheritance rights, and have been wandering outside, looking for every trace of the ancient dragon. They have explored the most dangerous Jedi and entered the most secret remains. The two once parted ways because of some things, but they joined forces again because of some things. They have discovered more than ten secret places where the ancient dragons once lived, [Extreme Ice Crown] [Lava Holy Land] [Class of Thunder] [Ice Erosion Frost Top]. Many extremely secret special areas were discovered by them. The two even found a painter with ancient dragon claws in the bedrock of the overseas archipelago, but to this day, they have not found a real and alive ancient dragon.
"This is not good. William, we have been searching in Northland for almost a year. If this continues, Guantian Baita will cancel the identities of our two special mentors."
Deep in the Great Eas Mountains, two legendary wizards stood at the top of a mountain. One of the older men, who looked a little distressed, took out his eyes and a crystal prosthetic eye full of runes. The very neat old wizard shook his head and said, "The ancient dragon breath in the north is the most intense I have ever seen in my life. If the empire had not allowed us to enter the country before, we would have come here to explore a long time ago, and we would not have to use the reason of helping to take care of the territory before to stay here."
"Indeed, the lava area found at the bottom of the Great Aes volcano is indeed very similar to the [Lava Sanctuary] we discovered before. It seems that the ancient dragons living there should have some relationship with the [Ancient Dragon Molten Steel Mountain Dragon]."
On the side, the younger-looking bard nodded, but he looked a little disappointed: "But it's the same as before. No matter how we look, we can't find where Gu Long is."
Although they seem very distressed and disappointed, both of them actually understand that this is the norm for the ancient dragon chasers. In fact, except for the two legendary powerful men who are determined to find the living ancient dragon, most of the other ancient dragon chasers have become bounty dealers who sell the materials left by the ancient dragon. You must know that even a small amount of blood stones or a small piece of bone fragments left by the ancient dragon will buy them at a high price.
As far as William knows, the lord of their territory, the newly-received legendary warrior Joshua van Radcliff, once bought some ancient dragon blood and ancient dragon bone pieces from his descendants of the ancient dragon chaser. It is said that it was used for his dragon blood war horse to advance his awakening bloodline.
"Wait!" Thinking of this, the mind controller couldn't help frowning. He pushed the shoulder of his friend beside him and asked suspiciously: "Banil, did you, the old man, regard the black dragon smell of Count Radcliff's bloodline as the smell of ancient dragons? If this is true, you can really retire and go to Guantian Baita to be your mentor."
"No, you are not much younger than me! And how could I make a mistake? There is a world of difference between the aura of other dragon blood and the pure ancient dragon aura!"
The neat old man immediately blew his beard and stared at him. Both of them were acquaintances. They didn't need to maintain the majesty and reserve of the legendary strong man on weekdays. Who is afraid of whom after knowing each other for so many years? But he also frowned: "But you are right. Some of the strong ancient dragon aura in the north are likely to be spread by the black dragon mount on weekdays. Its taste will not be confused with the real ancient dragon, but it should still affect our judgment. For example, we cannot track some key places, which is likely to be the misleading it brings."
"Then let's search again in a wide area. This time, I will forget the breath of the black dragon and the breath of its owner, and completely block the entire breath from Moldavia."
Speaking so, Barnier and William closed their eyes at the same time. Large and dense rune arrays appeared in front of both of them. They were built by the [Special Detection Array of Gu Long] that they had been continuously improving over the years. In just a moment, the mental power of the two legendary spell casters flashed through the entire northern realm through this array, causing all people and monsters above the golden level to feel a faint palpitation.
After a while, the two legendary powerful men opened their eyes again and their expressions became strange.
On the northern border, the great demon Laldanas, who had just lurked from the west mountain, happened to jump across the northern border.
It doesn't know.
What exactly is waiting for it?
Chapter completed!
