Chapter 1316 Far East of the Old Continent

Joan finished sorting out the spell book and made a study plan for the near future, then got up and went to the restaurant.

While eating, he had to discuss with Medea, and then went to the Far East of the Old World to find the itinerary for the second supernatural petrified creature—"cockatrice".

...

August 12, 1621, noon.

Vales World, Atlas Continent (Old Continent), Far Northeast, Whispering Forest.

Boom!

Boom!

In the summer afternoon, deep in the virgin coniferous forest, there was a burst of rhythmic knocking sound.

A woodpecker was standing on a branch, digging a hole in the trunk with its slender and hard beak, pecking out the borers hiding behind the bark and eating them.

While the woodpecker was concentrating on foraging, a thick beam of teleportation light suddenly rose from the forest floor, and two human figures slowly emerged.

The woodpecker was taken aback by this sudden change, and, ignoring the borers, screamed and fluttered its wings and soared into the air.

The other birds inhabiting this forest were also alarmed, and they all took to the air to avoid it, and the gray birds circled above the canopy.

The magical brilliance in the forest turned from prosperity to decline, and quickly dimmed, and the two figures that were originally covered by the teleportation brilliance also appeared clearly.

The "teleportation technique" was performed by a sorceress in a long green skirt-style robe, with a white veil wrapped around her head, and a hint of confusion appeared on her pretty face.

Along with the sorceress was a fair-skinned young mage, with a black cloak-like robe decorated with silver trim—this unique student uniform indicated that he was a graduate student at the Austrian Law School of Midgard University .

After the young mage completed the teleportation, he rubbed his left eye to make his pupils adapt to the scorching afternoon light.

He has been staying in the "underdark area" these days, and suddenly returned to the surface world with strong light, which is a little unaccustomed.

The hood of the cloak behind the young mage's neck suddenly trembled, and a blood-red mosquito flew out of the hood, and after landing, it turned into a beautiful and lovely little girl in a red dress.

The little girl looked around with curiosity in her eyes.

"Sister Medea, where did you teleport to? It looks like a big forest."

"Ahem... Well, I don't know what the hell this is, but don't worry, Ruby, I'll take a look at the map first..."

The sorceress touched the magic pocket, and a scroll appeared out of thin air in her hand.

She opened the scroll, bit her red lip and observed for a few seconds, then said in thought: "If our teleportation deviation is not too outrageous, this should be the southern part of the Barle Volcano in the Far East of the Old World, a piece of land called the 'Whispering Forest' by the locals." Primitive jungle."

"In other words, sister Medea, you teleported Ruby, me, and brother Joan to an unknown corner of the wild jungle, and then you expect to find the legendary ' Cockatrice'?"

"Miss Ruby" made sharp complaints, which made the Gorgon look embarrassed. He laughed dryly, and argued: "It's not very easy to get lost when you use the 'teleportation' technique to go to a strange place, all relying on an unreliable world map to navigate. Is it normal?"

"Don't worry about the cockatrice or something. The most important thing right now is to find a nearby village. Find out where we are and how far we are from Gudi Village. Joan, what do you think?"

The young mage nodded, took out the "navigation compass" from the storage bag, displayed the map within 30 miles around the teleportation point, and observed it intently.

As Medea said, their trip had an element of "chance and luck" from the very beginning.

Three days after returning to the Temple of Silence from the Baden Wetlands, Joan and Medea cooperated to conduct a series of research on the "unicorn rabbit", a magical beast with the natural ability to petrify.

The work is progressing smoothly, but this is not enough, they also need to collect more supernatural petrified creatures as research samples.

Following Joan's suggestion, their next stop was to go to the Far East of the Old World.

It is said that between the "Whispering Jungle" and the "Mist Swamp" in the far northeast, there is a human settlement called "Valley Village", where cockatrices often appear.

Joan and Medea planned to teleport to Valley Village first, and then ask the local villagers, maybe they could get information about the habitat of the cockatrice.

Originally, besides Ruby, Gray Bird and Bell would also go with them, but the day before the departure, Gray Bird learned from her clan that the mining development group under the Midgard Colonial Company was actively recruiting servants in the Abyssal Mire area. Soldiers, protecting a newly built magic crystal mine.

The mine is located in the north of the abyss, which is the huge magic crystal vein that Joan and the others discovered before.

In fact, there is still a lot of controversy over the ownership of this magic crystal vein.

The colonial company of the Fizen Kingdom in the New World was also actively recruiting troops during this period, spending a lot of money to hire miners and mercenaries to build a huge magic crystal mining field.

The two major colonial companies in the north and the south faced each other tit-for-tat. The mines they set up were less than 50 miles away from each other.

In order to maintain the safety of their respective mining areas and prevent competitors from sabotaging, the two colonial companies urgently need to increase the military strength of the mining areas.

The military power of the colonies and the protection of the towns on the surface world are very reluctant, and there is no spare power to support the mining area in the "Primeval Abyss".

The colonial company is short of troops, but it is not short of money. It has become the consensus of the two colonial companies to spread a lot of money and recruit mercenaries locally in the mining area.

Gray Bird didn't want to intervene in the disputes between the colonists, but the mining area of ​​the Midgard Company was right in front of her house, and the warriors of the stone-blind barbarians talked about the mining area all day long, wishing to become mercenaries and earn a lot of money As for the remuneration, Gray Bird doesn't care whether he wants to or not.

On the other hand, the "Silent Temple" is not the only indigenous force in Abyss Mire.

In the north, near the Jotunheim mining area, there is also an "Abyssal Dragon Lair". The local snake people have formed an alliance with the Fizen colonists, and a large number of snake people have joined the ranks of the Feizhen mercenary group.

The snake people and their master, the old black dragon Janus, are the number one enemies of the "Palace of Silence"!

Knowing that the snake people had accepted the employment of the Jotunheim Colonial Company, Gray Bird immediately realized that a huge crisis was imminent!

The Jotunheim Colonial Company will never be satisfied with the part of the mine currently occupied. With the full support of the "Abyss Dragon's Nest", the troops are strong and strong. Sooner or later, they will urge the snake-man mercenaries to advance south and try to annex the Midgard mining area!

If the Fizen colonists and the snake people succeed in their ambitions and successfully occupy the Midgard mining area, they will stand at the gate of the "Silent Palace".
