Dragonstone Island was formed by the eruption of a volcano at the bottom of the sea. Magma condensed into rocks and gradually formed.
Targaryen's castle was built on top of the volcanic rock known as Dragon Mountain.
To this day, ninety-nine percent of the volcano had died. Only the hot spring between the castle's back garden and the dragon's cave continued to release white steam every day, proving that the volcano was not completely dead.
"By comparing the temperature of various parts of the castle, I'm guessing that this hot spring is closest to the volcano's entrance." Marvin opened his mouth that was dyed red by the sourgrass leaves, his expression nervous and excited.
"Glug … Glug …"
The hot spring was thirty square meters, located at the bottom of the hill. It was shaped like a leaf, and the greyish-green spring water released steam at every moment, bringing heat to the glass garden.
Even though it was winter, the garden was still filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms. The trees were full of fruits, and the ground was full of flowers.
"Careful, it's hot!" The old crab suddenly cried out.
The Dragon Queen had squatted down beside the hot spring, rolled up her sleeves, and dipped her snow-white arm into the boiling water.
"Splash!" Her small hand stirred the water, but she did not hear the Queen's cries of pain.
The old crab was shocked. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. The Queen's right arm was only slightly redder than before, and it did not look like it was cooked at all.
"Ah, what's going on?" Bronn asked in surprise.
The old crab seemed to have realized something and became extremely excited. "True Dragon Bloodline, this is the purest True Dragon Bloodline!"
Marvin was also shocked, but he knew that the Dragon Queen was not an ordinary person. He did not care about her right arm that was immune to heat, and instead paid attention to the Queen's expression.
Seeing her frown in deep thought, he asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the underground fire magic enough?"
"It's enough." Danny nodded.
"That's great!" Marvin twisted his bull neck in excitement.
The old crab observed her expression and asked curiously, "You don't seem satisfied?"
"I thought that the bottom of Dragon Mountain was just an extinct volcano, but I was wrong. The volcano is not dead, it's just asleep. Three hundred meters below the surface, there's a powerful fire elemental that can blow Dragonstone Island away. "Danny said in a deep voice.
She dipped her hand into the hot spring not to show off, but to feel the fire elements overflowing from the water.
Blackie's Demigod Dragon Soul entered its body, and its powerful spiritual power followed the fire element down. It went all the way down and found the volcano below the hot spring.
This was also considered a type of witchcraft.
In the book 'Magic Net Construction' that Marvin had taken from the library in the City of Knowledge, there was a complete set of techniques for creating magic crystal balls. It included tracking fire elements, exploring volcanoes, drawing lava from volcanoes, extracting fire elemental magic from the lava, and so on.
All of the spells mentioned above could only be cast by someone who had grasped the perfect Grand Adept Meditation Technique, and that person had to have sufficient Mana.
Simply put, only Great Wizard Valleglia could forge the Weave.
Because of this, the people of Valleglia didn't mind the leaking of this technology that could determine the fate of a country.
Even if others obtained it, they wouldn't be able to use it.
Earlier, Danny had used the 'Fire Elemental Tracking' spell to understand the structure of the volcano beneath Dragonstone Island.
According to the standards in 'Magic Net Construction', she judged that Dragonstone was a miniature active volcano by comparing the abundance of fire elemental on the surface of the lava at the bottom of the hot spring.
A volcano that could blow up Dragonstone Island was only a miniature volcano in the eyes of the people of Valleglia.
However, when she thought about Valleglia's fourteen fire peaks …
Fourteen volcanoes had blown up a continent that spanned a thousand miles into pieces.
It seemed that Dragonstone was indeed a miniature volcano.
"Then do we still need to build a magic net? Apart from being convenient for communication, the magic net doesn't seem to be of much use. The tragedy of Valleglia is still fresh in our minds. Dragonstone Island can't repeat the same mistake! "The old crab was worried.
Marvin hurriedly said, "It's not just convenient for communication. The magic crystal can amplify the user's Mana tenfold, or even a hundredfold. Anything that a glass candle can do, it can be done a hundredfold more efficiently."
Of course, the magic net did not only have the 'Fantasy Internet' function.
The Internet transmitted digital signals, but the Magic Power Network transmitted real Magic Power.
The magic net could also draw endless Mana from the lava veins. This Mana could be used for large-scale magic activities, such as the construction of the Blackstone Castle and the construction of the Valleglia Avenue.
Think about it, the Celestial Empire on Earth, a country that was obsessed with infrastructure, had an average cost of 30 million to build a one-kilometer highway.
The price could not be compared, so it was not very meaningful, but at least it showed how expensive it was to build a one-kilometer highway.
However, in this world where the average productivity was close to that of the Western Middle Ages, the people of Valleglia had built more than thirty thousand kilometers of Undying Stone Avenue.
If they wanted, they could build more.
More importantly, thirty thousand kilometers was enough to connect several inland cities in the continent of Ursos.
Well, the coastal cities such as Reis, Myr, and Terosi all took the sea route and did not need stone roads.
The people of Valleglia could build roads, but they could not build cars that could travel at high speed on them. The sea route was more time-saving.
It was no exaggeration to say that even the most advanced highway on Earth was not worthy of carrying the shoes of Valyria Avenue. It had been in use for more than six thousand years, and had never been maintained. Not even a corner had fallen off, and it was still so angular.
This kind of large-scale infrastructure project consumed a lot of magic!
Even 300 Megalosaurus could not withstand it.
They could only extract endless magic from the magma underground!
At this time, the Dragon Queen also planned to build a magic crystal tower on Dragonstone Island and extract magic from the volcano for communication.
She still did not know how to forge the black Undying Stone of Valleglia.
"In theory, the volcano will not erupt without warning." Danny said in a deep voice, "I have seriously studied the content of the monitoring of volcanoes in the 《Magic Net Structure》.
Under the nodes of the magic crystal tower, there is an extremely tight sealing array. The magma fluctuations in the volcano are also displayed in the Magic Net at all times. "
"I know what you said, but Valleglia was destroyed in the Great Cataclysm, that is also a fact." The old crab said.
Danny's eyes flashed and she said in a deep voice, "I am now more and more certain that the Great Cataclysm is not a natural disaster."
The old crab saw the determination on the Queen's face and sighed, "Whether it is a natural disaster or not, if it can happen once, it can happen again."
"Don't be agitated, I will not extract large amounts of magic from the magma. Look, the hot spring is constantly releasing fire elemental particles. I will also reduce the power of the magic crystal tower and only absorb the magic that escapes, barely maintaining the Magic Net. "Danny comforted him with a smile.
"Oh, it's good that you know." The old crab let out a sigh of relief.
Of course I know, I do not live on Dragonstone Island. If the volcano really erupts, how can it not affect Slave Bay that is thousands of miles away?
"All of you, back off." She turned around and said to Marvin, Bronn, and the others.
Danny also moved back five meters and took a deep breath. She began chanting Valleglia's Witchcraft Incantation, her spiritual energy entered the bottom of the volcano and attracted the fire elemental particles in the magma.
It was as easy as eating and dressing an adult.
Her spiritual energy easily controlled the fire elemental particles and quickly turned them into her fire elemental wizard power.
At this moment, Danny felt like she had become a god.
She could open the earth's crust, she could lift this island, she could …
"Phew."
The fervor in her eyes faded as Danny let out a long breath. She expelled all the distracting thoughts from her sudden increase in power and returned to her cold as ice state.
* Rumble! * The ground began to tremble as the rocks on the Dragon Cave Hill began to roll.
"Ah, it's an earthquake!" The old crab held onto the pine tree beside him and cried out in fear.
* Gurgle, gurgle … * Chi, chi, chi, chi … *
The water in the hot spring exploded as the white steam increased by ten times, almost forming a pillar of air that pierced the sky.
The water level began to decrease at a visible rate.
"The volcano is erupting, the underground volcano is about to erupt." Bronn's face was pale as he trembled.
Marvin was very excited as he comforted everyone, "Don't be nervous, this is the queen's magic. She is drawing the magma from the volcano to build a magic channel.
If the magic crystal tower wants to draw magic from the magma, it must be connected to the mouth of the volcano. This is the same logic as digging a well for water. "
That was the logic, but digging a well for water would not cause such a huge commotion.
"Chi, chi, chi, chi!"
In just a short ten minutes, the water in the hot spring had completely evaporated. They could see that there was no water at the bottom, rather there was a light yellow flame that was three feet tall.
Following this, the Dragon Queen chanted an incantation and calmed the erupting magma.
Finally she added a layer of seal on the surface of the magma to isolate the Fire Elemental Particles before taking back her spiritual energy.
"Alright. Bronn, have someone pour in some cold seawater while it's still hot. "
Following this, Danny turned her head and said to Marvin, "Tell Bronn how to dig the hole. It's best if the hole is ….. Around two hundred and fifty meters.
Find a thirty centimeter radius volcanic crater and start laying down the foundation of the Magic Crystal there. "
"Volcanic crater? Shouldn't the Dragon Mountain's volcanic crater be there? "The old crab pointed in the direction of the prison tower as he spoke.
That was the highest mountain on Dragonstone Island and it was also the place that connected to the Dragon Mountain Mine.
Danny followed the old crab's gaze and looked at the tall stone tower before saying, "That's right, the volcanic crater is under the prison tower and it's already blocked by four hundred meters of rock, so we thought that the Dragon Mountain Volcano had already been extinguished.
This hot spring only has a single crack that connects to the inside of the volcano.
I'll widen the crack and block the crack that connects to the seawater, barely forming a small volcanic crater. "
"A small crater is good, a small crater is safe." The old crab kept nodding.
While Bronn was digging the hole, Danny wasn't idle.
The Magic Crystal Tower was indeed like digging a well, but it wasn't a well that used buckets to draw water, rather it was the kind of pressure well that the families of the celestial dynasty used.
The pressure well had a long pipe that went deep into the ground and the Magic Crystal Tower also had an energy pipe that went deep into the magma layer.
The surface was three hundred meters away from the magma layer and Bronn was digging two hundred and fifty meters, so Danny had to create a fifty meter long energy pipe.
The main material for the pipe was dragon crystals.
Dragon crystals were perhaps one of the materials with the best magic conductivity in the world.
Dragonstone Island had large amounts of dragon crystals and adding in the magic materials that Marvin bought from Mill, in just an afternoon, Danny used a mold to create a fifty meter long energy pipe that was as thick as a wrist.
Un, just dragon crystals were too fragile. If it was fifty meters long, it wouldn't be able to support its own weight.
But after adding in other materials and engraving magic runes, the energy pipe became much stronger.
However, Bronn's hole was only five meters deep …..
