Soul of Burning Steel

"First observe freely for two hours, you must learn how to independently analyze a completely strange life form from another world."

Barnier turned his head first, and gave instructions to his students in mid-air, and then stood beside William amidst a group of students chanting 'obedience', listening to his friends enthusiastically share their discoveries.

"Ordinary people may not know it, but for us ancient dragon chasers, the power of ancient dragons does not lie in their strength, but in their life essence."

While slowly flying with Joshua and inspecting the entire creeping forest, William said slowly. When he said this, he first pointed to himself with his right thumb, and then pointed to Joshua. The mage smiled and said: "Just like you and me, their life essence is beyond the ordinary 'life', but the ancient dragon is born. They are the initial steel power of the Mycroft world, and they are our world. The source of life, there is such speculation in the industry that all life today comes from the body of a dead ancient dragon, so even you and I are descendants of their countless generations in a sense."

"The Creeping Forest has obviously been eroded by the life imprint of the ancient dragon. Its prototype is probably just some kind of native plant in the Sixth Abyss, and then mutated under the stimulation of the vitality of the ancient dragon, becoming the huge and infiltrating plant it is now. Appearance—that’s right, this entire creeping forest is a whole, a life.”

Having said that, William backed away for a while, and Barnier came up instead, and the old mage took out a spiral-shaped blue test tube from his arms, with thick mist surging in it, and he stared at the test tube , said with some intoxication and doubt: "From the creeping forest, we extracted the information of the ancient dragon, but what is strange is that it does not match the few ancient dragons known so far. It is a brand new, or An even older ancient dragon whose existence is beyond our knowledge."

"This one is really surprising."

Hearing this, Joshua was also curious - even the few ancient dragons known today, except for the central black forest, have not been found at all, and now Barnir and William are actually in the Found traces of a brand new ancient dragon out of the world? This is really unbelievable.

"Could it be an ancient dragon from another world?"

The warrior made such a guess: "The ancient dragon is just a name we impose on those primitive beings, and they may not even need to be the same as dragons—maybe in other worlds, there are giant trees that support the sky and the earth, and big snakes that surround the oceans. A primitive existence like the giant tortoise carrying the continent on its back."

"This possibility, we have indeed thought about it."

Barnier nodded solemnly: "As long as the power of steel is strong enough, such creatures will be born at the beginning of the creation of the world. The world of Mycroft is unique, and other worlds may not lose to us—— But that's another subject, and that's the most important thing right now."

Before he finished speaking, the old mage simply crushed the spiral test tube in his hand, and the misty blue-blue aura that hovered in it immediately came into contact with the outside world, and in the next instant, an extremely powerful magnetic field enveloped Fangyuan in an instant. Hundreds of meters away, the powerful current even turned into a real arc in mid-air, continuously whipping the air and making a 'boom' explosion.

"That ancient dragon has the power to manipulate lightning—or in other words, the magnetic field."

The old mage admired the brilliant electric sparks he created. This seemingly powerful electric current is of no use to the three legendary people. William also said with a smile on his face: "The Creeping Forest has inherited part of this power, you Look."

Following the guidance of William's hand, Joshua looked down at the wriggling forest below him. At this time, the large forest with scales and tentacles sensed the strong magnetic field above his head, and it directly resembled layers of mimosa. Closed, the black and red scales on the outer layer also began to change color rapidly, turning into the same green as the surrounding jungle, as if a chameleon mimicked itself into a similar appearance to its surroundings.

Barney took out a pipe to watch this scene, then lit it with his magic power and took a puff. He said comfortably: "There are many special substances in this forest. Automatically generate liquid crystals of different colors, and biological organs that are more sensitive to electromagnetic waves than the alloys we make... Everywhere the ancient dragon passes is our treasure house. Such a small forest can connect the physical light curtain and communication The technology of the equipment advances twenty years."

"It can also provide us with a lot of money."

William suddenly added this sentence: "If you don't discover this kind of thing from time to time, even a legendary powerhouse will not be able to pursue it endlessly."

It seems that there is something in the words.

But how could Joshua fail to understand what these two people meant? Because the creeping forest is now rooted in the Great Ajax Mountains, even if they are the ones who discovered and brought it back to the Mycroft continent, if they want to mine the special biological resources, they must cooperate with the empire and his lord , so the two mages simply spoke clearly and explained the value of this forest to him.

"This is your trophy."

Joshua shook his head. He now clearly understands the value of those liquid crystals and highly sensitive magnetic organs in this forest. It can be said to be an epoch-making discovery. After so many years, why do these two legends who do not belong to any force still have The reason for sufficient funds is also probably understood. But now that soldiers are not short of money, how could he compete with these two discoverers and carriers? What's more, both William and Barnier have made it clear that this is the source of funds for their follow-up exploration. After all, even legendary powerhouses cannot change gold from the air.

No, in fact, changes can be made, but the gains outweigh the losses.

In short, for such a little money and a legend, no one is that stupid if two legends turn against each other.

"Don't worry, Earl Radcliffe, after all, you went to the abyss to fight the demon lord for us." In response to Joshua's response, Barnir put down his pipe and said with a smile: "So this There is also your share in it."

"In addition, the two of us are wandering around the world, and there is no industry to develop." William said leisurely: "So it is up to you to turn the discovery into actual value. As for us, we have to go through the abyss I am especially curious about the unknown ancient dragon—the traces in the Creeping Forest are too new, it is just a matter of the last one or two hundred years, it does exist, and it may be wandering in the nearby world."

There is no need to go into details about the next topic. It is nothing more than that under the cordial and friendly conversation of the three leaders, the Moldavian leader and the two legendary mages have reached a comprehensive and friendly partnership. Zhisen conducted a new round of discussions, and the final result was that Barnier and William invested in two corresponding magic energy factories in the Northland, but the specific construction was in charge of the Moldavian Lord's Mansion, and the subsequent distribution of benefits would be made by both parties. Agent to discuss.

After that, Joshua, who had already returned to the Lord's Mansion, couldn't help recalling the possibility that the two legendary mages had shown him.

"A liquid crystal screen that can differentiate into colors without a lot of magic power, and a communication circle that can stably communicate even across a small half of the continent?"

He sat on the big chair, closed his eyes, and said with a smile: "The next few years will probably be the popularization of light curtains and the establishment of large-scale communication networks, right? The speed of progress in this world is really fast. Now It has just been industrialized, and I didn’t expect to enter the Internet era in a few years.”

Unlike the two legendary mages, Joshua knew exactly what Barnir and William had discovered. They had a huge value beyond the expectations of the people on the Mycroft continent. It could even be said that they might be stardrops. One of the greatest inventions since the eighth century of the Era.

Because, that's the prototype of the Internet.

In order to pull out such a bunch in a reasonable way, I really admire myself for deliberately arranging so many plots...
