Underground of Noland.
Josiah had been in this world for a long time, and he had finally begun his' Otherworld Adventure 'in the truest sense.
The mine cart built by the Frost Axe clan could easily reach the deepest part of Noland, but it wasn't that comfortable to sit on.
The mine cart was designed to transport minerals, so there wasn't any space for people to sit on, and there was a lot of slag stuck inside.
Josiah didn't care about the dirt, but the air underground was so stuffy that it made Josiah feel a little suffocated.
The dwarves didn't have a complete oxygen transport equipment when they were mining. In Frost Axe's words, mining deep underground depended on one thing, and that was' perseverance '.
Josiah endured the turbid air in the mine for nearly half an hour before the mine cart slowly drove to an empty space.
From here, Josiah could see traces of dwarven activity. There was some kind of primordial crystal above, allowing Josiah to clearly see the surrounding environment.
Mining tools were thrown around this empty space, and there were some tents used for resting. In addition to the traces of dwarven activity, Josiah also saw some … creature skeletons.
No … it should be said that it was the corpse of some kind of giant magic doll. Josiah put his hands on the edge of the mine cart and looked at the giant humanoid magic doll that only had ribs and skull left.
Just its head alone could accommodate three adult human males.
"Is this the Sublimator's magic doll?" Josiah turned around and asked Frost Axe and the man in blue who were sitting in the other carriage.
They were far more familiar with this place than Josiah.
"What Magitek Dolls? They're just useless lumps of metal. Twenty years ago, I only saw one that could move, and it was scrapped after taking a few steps." Frost Axe seemed to be very dissatisfied with the 'trash' that took up space.
"Josiah … When we arrive, can I go and have a few words with them first?"
The blue-clothed man finally spoke. When Josiah first decided to go underground to find the Sublimators, the blue-clothed man and Josiah talked for a long time, but they could not stop Josiah's actions.
Helpless, he had no choice but to follow them personally. What he advocated was not to disturb those Sublimators. In fact, Josiah was also too lazy to find trouble with those Sublimators. Unfortunately … those Sublimators did not give Josiah the chance.
"Of course, this is not a problem, as long as there is no conflict …" Josiah glanced at Frost Axe, who was constantly sharpening her axe, and seriously added, "It is the best."
However, no one present believed what he said, especially Black Sand who was tied up and had his mouth sealed.
Far away from the dwarves' quarry, the mining cart finally came to a space occupied by glowing algae.
"We're here!" Frost Axe picked up her weapon and ordered the dwarves in front to stop the cart.
Josiah could vaguely hear the sound of running water. There should be a lot of underground water nearby … The air here had also become a lot fresher.
"This place … looks like there are a lot of treasures buried here."
When Josiah first entered the dwarves' quarry, he saw the remains of some buildings, and after coming to this space, the remains of buildings could be seen almost everywhere.
The style of the buildings was very similar to Assequero's Forgotten Land, and the streets of this abandoned city also had traces of dwarven miners.
This made Josiah dispel the idea of plundering those buildings.
"This is only a small part of the ruins, but it is the most difficult part to deal with. We only discovered it 20 years ago."
Frost Axe jumped down from the mining cart, and the dwarven soldiers who followed Frost Axe immediately put on their helmets and prepared for battle.
Josiah turned around and glanced at his own team. Two dragons and two sages were enough to deal with a large number of problems. Elder Queytoan of the High Elves had also personally followed Josiah here.
In addition, both the Iron Nation and Falosi Kingdom had looked for Josiah, wanting to send an expedition team to participate, but Josiah still tactfully rejected these explorers with the background of their country.
As for the Land of Frost … When Josiah issued the bounty, Cheil was sleeping, so she did not see it. The Frost Owl was probably still hugging its pillow and sleeping soundly.
"Your Highness, I feel a strong magical presence here, please be careful."
Josiah's guard, Zenas, finally remembered his original job today. There were also three Chaos Demons sent by Cersei as guards.
There was also a figure who had been silent the entire time. When Josh looked at her, he could tell that she had been tapping away on the virtual keyboard the entire time.
"There are a large number of magic circles left behind by spatial magic."
Elder Queytoan had just stepped down from the mining cart when he felt the familiar scent of magic.
"I heard from the Sublimator that they go to the surface of Noland through some teleportation magic circles."
Josiah went straight to the real guide of the expedition team.
"But now, I need you to help me find the entrance to your homeland."
The guide was the newsboy under Black Pigeon, Hai Lan. Under Josiah's' persuasion ', he reluctantly chose to open the entrance to the Sublimator's sanctuary for Josiah.
"I … I'll only open the door for you."
Hai Lan glanced at Black Sand who was tied up. He had been very afraid and resistant ever since he came here.
"This is also the only thing I need you to do."
After Josiah and Hai Lan reached an agreement, he led the oddly-formed expedition team into the depths of the ruins.
Hai Lan walked all the way to the end of the ruins, where the empty space was sealed off by a wall. It was then that Josiah noticed … that the wall at the edge of the space was not made of rocks, but a special kind of metal.
The moment Black Sand was carried here by the three dwarves, he who could still maintain his calm immediately began to struggle frantically.
Hai Lan also backed away in fear.
"Do you want to knock this guy out, Josiah?" Frost Axe had long since grown impatient with Black Sand.
"There's no need. Let's tear off the seal on his mouth," Josh said.
The dwarves placed Black Sand back on the ground and tore off the seal on his mouth. Black Sand took in large mouthfuls of fresh air.
"Watcher! If you want to see the Matriarch and Matriarch … they will welcome you with open arms. However, your attempt to bring these creatures from the surface into the Holy Region has violated a taboo. "Black Sand was still trying to dissuade Josiah from doing what he wanted to do." Why are you doing this! "
"It's actually very simple. What if I tell your tribe to leave this child alone, including his friends?" Josiah brought Hai Lan in front of Black Sand and said, "Let them live peacefully on the surface. Do you think your tribe will agree to that?"
"Impossible." Black Sand gave Josiah an answer almost without a second thought, "Every one of our people is an important part of our tribe. They should not live on the dangerous surface."
"This … is where the problem lies." Josiah said to him in a low voice, "Indeed, I'm only going to have a heart-to-heart talk with your so-called Matriarch or whatever. However, this conversation is based on the premise that you are willing to listen to me, or should I say that you are willing to follow my thoughts. I think it's too slow for them to understand each other through words. So, the more direct way is to use force, followed by so-called negotiation."
"Force … Watcher, give up! The guards in the Holy Region can easily clean up the people you find on the surface. "Black Sand said loudly.
"Interesting. If you can really 'clean' them up, I don't think you would hide underground."
Josiah immediately signaled Hai Lan to continue her work. A large number of azure inscriptions appeared on the boy's body, and the surrounding space seemed to be awakened by his inscriptions.
