Winter Solstice, Assequero.
"The temperature here seems to be … much higher than Noland?"
Josiah took off his scarf as soon as he passed through the Assequero portal.
Now that the climate of Noland was gradually entering winter, the temperature of Assequero had been maintained at spring, which was always the most comfortable season.
"The city's periphery is protected by a magic barrier, which also serves to control the temperature."
Shiratori appeared on Josiah's shoulder, and the moment it was tidying its feathers with its beak, a dark shadow suddenly rushed towards Josiah.
Josiah immediately picked up Shiratori and threw it out. The next second, the Duke Of Black Dragon appeared in mid-air, firmly caught the Shiratori, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
"It took three minutes to find you this time. Is the interval between meals shorter?"
Another clone of the World Tree appeared on Josiah's shoulder.
"Desire has also become shorter. It has begun to learn to control its desire to eat."
Shiratori said, tilting her head and looking at the Black Dragon that was gnawing on her body.
"Lord Ridley!"
Elder Enya, the temporary guardian of the Duke Of Black Dragon, ran over from the other side of the Forgotten Land.
Josiah did not care about the Black Dragon anymore. He turned around and looked at the highest point of the Forgotten Land.
It had been some time since Cheil returned to the Land of Frost, and the season of Noland had officially changed from winter to spring.
Josiah was preparing for the latest episode of Tom and Jerry with Hiri today when he received a piece of good news … That was, the construction of the city in the "Beauty and the Devil" area had been completed!
Count Kirrlutz told Josiah what was called the efficiency of the Iron Nation with facts.
The Forgotten Land was originally a barren highland area, and a luxurious castle had been erected there.
As soon as Josiah set foot on the road to the castle, he heard Elder Enya's shout behind him.
"Lord Ridley, you should go back to study …"
Elder Enya dissuaded the Black Dragon, but the Black Dragon followed beside Josiah as if he did not hear Elder Enya's words.
"Hungry again?"
Josiah turned to look at the young Black Dragon.
He still had a Shiratori in his mouth, but now he had forgotten to chew, and looked up at Josiah.
Josiah picked up Shiratori on his shoulder and swayed it a little. The Black Dragon's eyes were still staring at the Shiratori for a few seconds, and finally fixed them on Josiah.
"This Black Dragon … won't eat people, right?"
Josiah had a creepy feeling. The rumors of the Duke Of Black Dragon's tyranny in the Demon Realm were all true.
In order to confirm it, Josiah had specially inquired about it some time ago. No living creature that had stepped into his territory had come out alive.
"Ridley feeds on pure energy, and flesh is a kind of impurity to him." Shiratori explained.
"Next episode …"
After the Black Dragon finished eating the Shiratori in his mouth, he ran to Josiah's side and sniffed.
"You can even find this …"
Josiah took out the raw crystal from his coat pocket.
"This is the latest episode of Tom and Jerry, but it is not finished yet. The dubbing is not done yet."
Josiah shook the raw crystal in his hand, and the golden vertical pupil of the Black Dragon kept staring at the raw crystal in Josiah's hand.
"Next episode."
It stretched out its small stubby hand, as if hesitating whether or not to snatch the raw crystal in Josiah's hand.
"This episode is not finished yet, no means no."
It seemed to understand Josiah's words, and the stubby hand that was raised in mid-air was lowered again.
Josiah put the raw crystal in his coat pocket and walked directly towards the castle in the distance.
The Black Dragon did not seem to give up and followed behind Josiah … It did not feel good to be stared at by a giant dragon.
But perhaps it could tell that Josiah was the creator of Tom and Jerry, so it did not dare to do anything out of line with Josiah.
… …
Elder Quaeto stood in the corridor of the castle, looking at the Forgotten Land in the distance.
The human engineers had been in Assequero for a while, and most of the ruins in the Forgotten Land had been demolished by the dwarves.
Standing here, he could clearly see the human craftsmen below busy in every corner of this area.
"A total of 2,300 people participated in the construction of this amusement park."
A human voice sounded behind Elder Quaeto, and he turned around to see Count Kirrlutz walking towards him with two glasses of strange liquid.
He took the glass that Count Kirrlutz handed over, and the liquid in the glass emitted a ghostly green glow and a lot of bubbles at the same time.
Elder Quaeto was the medium of communication between the High Elves and the humans, and although he did not like this powerful Count, he still got along well with him at work …
Even if this human wanted to get rid of him, there was no reason to use such an obvious poison.
"This is not poison, it's called Sin Cola … I heard that the first production line was completed in the Underworld the day before yesterday, so now this thing can only be bought in the Underworld, and it's limited."
Count Kirrlutz tried to describe the preciousness of the liquid in the glass in words to express his sincerity.
After Elder Quaeto saw the Count drink it in one gulp, he also followed suit and drank all the liquid in the glass.
The strange taste of the liquid made him choke on the first sip, but when he finished drinking it all, there was an indescribable feeling of refreshment.
"Do you want a second glass?" Count Kirrlutz asked.
The Elder's answer was, of course, a nod.
"I want another glass, too, but I only got this after spending three Noland gold." Count Kirrlutz shook the remaining drop of fluorescent liquid in his hand and said, "If you want more, you'll have to ask Mr. Josiah."
"The Child of the Forest, this liquid was created by him?" Elder Quaeto did not expect Josiah to have this kind of talent in alchemy.
"I was fortunate to witness the birth of this magical drink with my own eyes, and when I first tasted it, I was just like you … with doubts." Count Kirrlutz stared into Elder Quaeto's eyes and said, "I think you must have the same attitude towards what we are building now."
"Don't tell me you don't? A human Count. "
Elder Quaeto's thoughts were seen through by the Count, and instead he asked him with a smile.
"Doubts? That's also natural. " Count Kirrlutz walked to the window sill and looked down at the busy human construction team below, "I am essentially a businessman, but also the lord of a city. Do you know what the money that Mr. Josiah invested into this ruin can buy in the human world?"
Elder Quaetoan shook his head. His knowledge of human trade was very shallow.
"An entire army! A knight legion armed to the teeth, all of them able to wear armor that has been tempered and enchanted by alchemists, and the mounts can even be considered as sub-dragons … In short, a powerful army. "
