Chapter 1520 Dinosaur Lake

The colonists who mastered the technology of the magic industry were able to create new weapons such as guns and cannons, which were far more lethal than cold weapons. They also founded universities in newly built cities, and taught magic knowledge as an important subject of higher education. Spellcasters are "produced" in batches on a college campus in the same way a factory processes machine parts.

The various actions of the colonists, while strengthening themselves, also pose a threat to the survival and reproduction of the dinosaur population.

These prehistoric beasts, which were born hundreds of millions of years ago, once again recalled the horror of being dominated by humans, and had to abandon the fertile land with rich water, grass and prey in the coastal areas, and were constantly driven westward by colonists. In the desolate western mountains and wilderness Find a place to stay - at least until the colonists launch a new round of "westward movement", these wandering behemoths can live a stable life for a few days.

If you only look at the living conditions of the dinosaur population from a macro level, it is indeed suppressed by the pace of human expansion.

"Human beings" as a whole are certainly powerful, but most of the individual human beings are mediocre and weak, especially in those remote areas far from cities, the settlements established by the colonists, due to the small population and backward weapons and equipment, if there is no The caster is stationed, facing the ferocious and powerful dinosaurs, they are often in the position of being hunted.

Lake Aosta and the vast area around it are the "dangerous zone" where the dinosaur population has an absolute advantage over the human population.

Expand a map of the New World, find the city of Midgard, and then advance about 400 miles to the northwest. The large area of ​​water bordering the "Iron Forest" in the north and the "Yorton Glacier" in the west is the most famous five in the New World. One of the great lakes - Lake Aosta.

At the turn of spring and summer, the snow on the Jotun Glacier melts, and the melted water turns into streams, which flow eastward along the ridge, providing a steady stream of running water for Lake Aosta, and the rising lake water pours down at the southernmost end. Forming a huge waterfall, it continues to flow south until it meets the Vimur River.

Overlooking Lake Aosta from a high altitude, you will find that this vast water area is in the shape of an "olive", about 300 miles long from north to south, and about 160 miles wide from east to west. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Midgard region.

There are many stories about Lake Aosta that have been handed down to this day. Just about the water monsters inhabiting the lake, a qualified bard can tell horror legends for three days and three nights without repetition.

The central area of ​​Lake Aosta is shrouded in perennial fog. Legend has it that there is an island in the middle of the lake, and there is a mysterious old castle on the foggy island.

Some claim that the castle was built thousands of years ago by a frost giant lord, but it is now in ruins.

There are also people who claim convincingly that there is an evil archmage living in seclusion in the castle, who is digging into forbidden magic capable of destroying the world.

There is no real basis for these legends. Adventurers who tried to break into the foggy area in the center of the lake to find out the truth ended up going nowhere, further enhancing the mystery of Lake Aosta.

The sparse forests and vast grasslands around Lake Aosta have been the home of dinosaurs since ancient times. It is said that there are no less than 100 kinds of dinosaurs commonly found in the area, with a total of more than 100,000 heads. Therefore, this large lake is also vividly called "Dinosaur Land" by the Asa people. lake".

On the afternoon of April 16, Joan was dragged by Holden to participate in the club activities of the "Skull Club".

As soon as she entered the club, Joan heard Arnold, Lowry, and Audrey gathered together, surrounded by a circle of people, who were discussing enthusiastically, frequently mentioning "dinosaur riots".

Joan recalled the follow-up reports on the abnormal commotion in the Lake Aosta area in the newspapers in recent days, and he had a bottom line in his heart. He guessed that the school would probably cooperate with the military to issue an internship mission to investigate the dinosaur population in Lake Aosta.

After playing two sets of billiards with Holden, Joann handed the cue to Hailaer who was watching the game, and asked him to continue playing with Holden and return to the sidelines to rest on his own.

Audrey came over with two glasses of soda, handed one to Joan, and asked with a smile, "Do you have any free time recently?"

Joan took a sip of soda and asked her, "Is there a new internship task?"

Audrey nodded her head lightly, with a very serious expression on her face.

"You've probably heard that since the beginning of April, the dinosaurs in the Lake Aosta area have experienced frequent disturbances. Groups of dinosaurs have traveled hundreds of miles away from their habitats to attack colonists' settlements."

"In just half a month, no less than a hundred villages and towns have been ravaged by dinosaurs. Smaller villages have even been trampled into ruins by hordes of behemoths, causing heavy casualties."

"The dinosaur population in the area around Lake Aosta has never had such an abnormal behavior. There are indications that this storm is not accidental. If left alone, there will only be more and more dinosaurs going berserk and more aggressive. , and continuously expanded the range of attacks, resulting in disasters in more colonial villages and towns.”

"The Midgard military is investigating the root cause of the dinosaur riots in Lake Aosta. At the same time, it has to send troops to rescue the villages and towns in the surrounding areas that have been ravaged by dinosaurs. There is a serious shortage of manpower."

"Due to the lack of spell casters, it is difficult for the rescue team to stop the large group of crazy dinosaurs. The officers and soldiers participating in the rescue can't even guarantee their own safety. In the past half a month, the military has suffered a lot of casualties, but the rescue operation has not achieved much. Good, has caused serious dissatisfaction in the colonial assembly."

"The military plans to ask Midgard University for help?"

Joan guessed.

Audrey nodded, and continued: "The internship task has been dispatched, and Arnold, as the military's liaison in the school, is actively recruiting warriors who dare to fight against dinosaurs."

Her Royal Highness put down her drinking glass, shrugged and smiled wryly.

"Judging from the current situation, Arnold's recruitment of the 'Dragon Slayer Warrior' is not going well."

"Actually, this is normal. After all, the opponents are a group of crazy giant beasts. The degree of danger is much higher than that of dealing with Pelidon or snow monsters. Otherwise, they will be trampled into meatloaf by dinosaurs!" Holden walked over. Then my sister said, "This way of dying is too ugly!"

"If the reward for this internship mission is high enough, I don't mind taking risks." Hailar said while biting the straw.

"Arnold told me just now that as long as the task can be successfully completed, each person will be rewarded with 20 internship points." Audrey said softly.

"20 points?!" Hailaer whistled exaggeratedly, with eagerness showing on his brows, "The military has spent a lot of money this time!"

In fact, not only "Sister Cai Fan" was moved by these 20 internship points, but even Qiao An was moved by hearing it.
