Taking his eyes off the map, Joshua shook his head.

In any case, the current dragon disaster only threatens the far south. Although he is recalled from the past, the current soldier is a northern Lord on the other side of the world. This war has nothing to do with him for the time being.

At present, for Joshua, the most important thing is to prepare to participate in the imperial capital celebration banquet, which will start in early April. This is not only a simple banquet, but also from the prosecutor's overt and covert hints, it can be seen that the celebration of all the nobles and strong men in the Empire is undoubtedly of deeper significance.

However, before leaving, he needs to finish all the affairs in the territory.

Looking out of the city from a high place, the plain is mixed with black and green, the land is melting with ice and snow, and the grass is growing endlessly around. Not far away, there are farmers farming in the fields, and at the end of the field of vision, you can see the ready hunting regiment driving a fast horse on the road, galloping toward the black forest in the distance.

"Ready to go."

Standing on the top floor of the Lord's mansion, Joshua looked into the distance for a while. Then, he asked Ying to start the solidified transmission array. With the rapid fluctuation of magic, a piece of magic crystal placed in the energy supply place became dim, while the soldier and Ying and Lin standing behind him were in the buzzing of magic start, They disappeared in the faint blue halo brought by the teleportation array.

The destination of this transmission is the black forest fortress, and Joshua's purpose is to explore the mysterious area in the great AEAS volcano.

3 No. 1 told him not long ago that Paladin lorenda's expedition team found a mysterious area deep in the great AEAS volcano, where the concentration of magic power was extremely thick, and there was a serious phenomenon of element chaos. Ordinary soldiers could not even go deep, and there were signs of being eroded by elements only in the periphery, leading to the initial melting of muscles.

With loranda's strength, he can naturally conduct in-depth investigation, but his exploration experience is far from mature, which is not worth such a task. What's more, he is easy to get lost and enter the dense lava tunnel inside the volcano. Who knows if this guy can get out.

In fact, not only No. 3 was very concerned about this, but also Moria and the countess vildany from afar came to ask whether the news was true. Even the other two lords of the four northern territories, the Wilson family and the zeppesh family were extremely concerned.

Because it's the great eyas volcano, the source of life in the whole North - nature, and the source of destruction.

The heat brought by the lava of the dikes and the volcanic ash rich in nutrients gave birth to the largest mountain Black Forest in the north. This forest once covered all the active areas of human beings today, with a territory comparable to that of a small country. Because of this, clearing part of the black forest, the northerners who built their homes on it will also enjoy the benefits of this fertile land, Never really worried about food.

But it's based on the fact that the volcano doesn't erupt.

According to the report of the exploration team, the amount and density of magic energy contained in the mysterious area is so large that even if it is not enough to detonate the volcano, it can cause huge damage comparable to that carried out by the ancient dragon [huangheilong elbatrian] 400 years ago.

"O Lord

At the end of the transmission, Joshua and others felt a slight dizziness, and then they used to shake their heads and regained consciousness. The soldiers guarding the teleportation array realized that the one coming from the teleportation array was their own Lord, so they immediately saluted.

Zorgen, Kiley and fortress Feng, who arrived at the news of the arrival of Joshua and others, also quickly came to the transmission array in the central tower. The soldiers who were communicating with the three were surprised to find that zorgen seemed to have made a breakthrough after he recovered from the last serious injury, Now there is a sign of gold and progress, and the strength of the other two is gradually increasing.

"That's good. You're so fast." For the progress of his subordinates, he is not stingy of his praise.

In fact, it's also natural. You know, since the last Kuroshio, the black forest fortress has been recuperating. Until recently, because of Joshua's continuous sending new troops to supplement new blood, it can be regarded as a complete recovery of its full strength. But in fact, the strength of the black forest fortress is better than before, In particular, a large number of soldiers survived the battle of man and Warcraft. They were generally promoted once, and many of them became new silver.

And the Silver Knight is not to mention, these powerful adults survive, the harvest will only be greater.

Accompanied by all the people, Joshua made a general tour of the whole black forest fortress. He inspected the city walls, towers and material warehouses. After confirming that everything was in good order, he laughed and encouraged his soldiers. Then he left the black forest fortress with Ying and Lin and went straight to the direction of the volcano in the black forest."Master, I'm going too fast..."

Behind Qiao Xiuya, Ying, who was already running in a small step, looked at her younger brother, as if she could communicate only by her eyes: "I didn't eat any food, so I went straight away."

"There's nothing else. Do you want the master to inspect them all? There is not so much time. The purpose of the master is not here at all. "

Lin shrugged his shoulders and narrowed his eyes slightly. He understood Joshua's idea: "the things along the way should be dealt with earlier, and the master should go to do the business earlier."

In fact, the distance from the black forest fortress to the great AEAS volcano was not far. Before evening, while Joshua's weapons were chatting quietly behind him, they arrived at their destination.

Located in the core area of the mountain range, the active volcano, the great eyas volcano is very spectacular and beautiful. The towering and powerful huge mountain stands like a giant in the world. The thick smoke gushes out into the endless clouds in the sky, and the red halo visible to the naked eye twinkles at the top of the mountain.

In the hills around the volcano, there is a simple camp surrounded by wooden walls, where loranda's exploration team is stationed.

Joshua naturally did not hesitate. He went directly into the camp and met the paladin and other members of the exploration team at the gate of the camp.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Joshua again. They didn't seem to think that Joshua would come. Loranda was no exception. He heard the footsteps coming from outside and thought that other exploration teams had come here. When other exploration team members saluted their lords, they thought that they would come here, He was very happy to say hello: "long time no see, my friend."

"Long time no see. How are you feeling in the exploration team?"

The soldier also said hello. Joshua could see that after several months of polishing at the bottom, loranda's mind went up to a new level, and seemed to have initially explored his own fighting skills - but today, he didn't come here to exchange views. After the greetings, Joshua began to ask about the specific situation of the mysterious area in the volcano.

"Here's the situation..."

Lolanda knew everything and said everything in detail. She said everything she saw and heard.

It turned out that they discovered the mysterious area by accident.

At that time, loranda's exploration team was looking for Open-pit veins around the volcano, which were very difficult to mine. Even if only iron was produced, it was not a loss. Moreover, most of them contained precious materials, such as Mitsui and Yanjing iron

Just as a few people were walking through the jungle and passing through a hill, A sharp eyed Archer noticed that there was a layer of dark red rock on the ground at the foot of the volcano in the distance. It was scattered, but it had an inexplicable sense of prestige.

All the members of the team, including loranda, think it's extraordinary. You know, it's certainly not a simple thing that can make a group of soldiers who have been through a lot of battles feel oppressed. So they plan to take some samples and take a look at the reserve scale of the red rock by the way.

But when they came to the foot of the mountain and followed the trace of the red rock on the surface, they soon found a huge tunnel leading to the deep part of the volcano.

No one can resist this curiosity. After making loranda release the light operation, the exploration team sent half of the team down the tunnel. The tunnel was extremely dry and full of sulfur, but unexpectedly there was no poisonous gas, and the surrounding rock walls were very smooth. An experienced old Explorer thought that, This is not a natural cave. Everyone agrees with this conjecture.

I don't know how long it took for the team to come to a huge cave inside the volcano, which is full of lava, extremely rich in elements, but extremely chaotic.

What happened next, Joshua already knew most of it. Because of the excessive concentration of elements, ordinary people were easily burned or even killed by energy radiation, so the exploration team hurried out and reported the matter to the main city.

"Red, rocky material?"

He murmured to himself that Joshua's mind was not in the strange and mysterious area. Instead, he thought of the red blood rock at the bottom of the snow mountain and lake Nicaea. He nodded and said, "show me those samples."

Standing on one side of the Bowman heard this sentence, he immediately will hang on the waist of the sample presented.

"This taste... Very familiar! If so, this red rock... "

Joshua opened the common specimen bag and saw the red rock in it. He rubbed a little powder down with his fingers and then licked it. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he was sure that it was the smell of Cologne blood.Thinking of this, he could not help but show an excited smile: "that red mark, I think, is a blood mark left by the injury of a Cologne! And the grotesque smooth cave is the passage for it to walk
