Priyanka suddenly shouted in a low voice: "The Duke of Izel, the builder of Dragon Tooth Fort?!"
"Oh? Dragon Tooth Castle" George couldn't help being interested.It's still a long time, and he plans to learn about Dragon Tooth Fort from this guy. He has never heard of this castle before, and there is no mark on the map provided by Salman and Brenda.
Today, Gerry Jones has been captured by the Duke of Skywrath in Dragon Tooth Mountain.But the entrance to the Dragon's Nest has become confusing.Because according to the map, that area is a large swamp wetland, but judging from the situation of the Duke of Skywrath, it, like Thor, loves magma and drying.
That area, now after the fog appeared, has completely become a strange maze restricted zone, the most dangerous area in the entire swamp, and there is very little news.
But if Salman's family had built a castle in Dragon's Tooth Canyon, he must be clear about the situation there.
If the Canglan family had tried to build a castle there, they should have a better understanding of the situation there.And there was no fog in that era, and all kinds of information were more comprehensive than now.
"Indeed, it's that period of history." Earl Salman nodded, and slowly began to narrate.
In fact, there are many mineral veins in Longya Canyon, but because of the inconvenient roads, the Canglan family has not developed here.
It wasn't until the appearance of Earl Salman's great-grandfather, a great water conservancy builder, that Longya Canyon began to be slowly developed.
"The terrain here is complicated, and there are many ogres, but there are also countless treasures. My great-grandfather once built a castle here, and you know, as long as the castle is built, the ogres can be completely driven out. A lot of More adventurers will flood here, the mountain roads will be slowly developed, and the dams and waterways will also be able to be built!"
When Brenda heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up slightly.He couldn't help but took out the map in his arms and threw it on the side of the boat.Then, Earl Brenda pointed to the bottom left of the canyon: "Is this the location? I remember that there seems to be a dilapidated castle here."
George couldn't help looking at the map.
Dragon Tooth Canyon is a low-lying area in the Tiannu Mountains, where many rivers from the Tiannu Lake and in the mountains converge and descend, forming a huge swamp.At the same time, this is also a place where there is a volcano in the Tiannu Mountain Range.
Looking on the map, the entire area is an oval, with a small mountain in the middle of the oval, the lake on the right side of the mountain, and the land on the left.
This piece of land looks like a small crescent on the map, interspersed by many rivers into dozens of large and small pieces, and there are many large and small caves. Overall, it is a swamp with a very complex landform. area.
Some caves retain water, some caves are dry, and some caves even have magma flowing inside...
Yuejiao Village is at the upper left corner of Longya Canyon, which is the top of the crescent, and Longya Mountain is at the bottom of the crescent, connecting with the entire mountain range.
The location Brenda pointed at is near Longya Mountain. This place is between the lake on the right side of the canyon and the land on the left side, and the top is the end of the small mountain.It seems easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if a dam is built in the lake in the future, ships will also be able to rely on the box-shaped hydraulic structures with concentrated water level drops on the lock channel to enter and exit this area!
The large amount of supplies in Longya Canyon will be able to go back and forth between Longya Fort and Canglan City directly by water.And the canyon here will truly be included in Cang Lan's territory.
It has to be said that the Canglan family is really a rare duchy in this era who is willing to focus on infrastructure!The prosperity and affluence of the entire principality also has a taste of the Song Dynasty, but it is a pity that it was the last Song Dynasty. It tried its best in internal political struggles, and it was much more passive in foreign wars against the enemy than in the later Song Dynasty.
George felt that if the Black Pearl Lake could improve water conservancy, future farmland irrigation would not be a problem, and the basin was also very suitable.
These two places together are bigger than Sichuan. If China's agriculture can be developed to a modern level, it can house hundreds of millions of people!
Anthony and the others are very busy every day, and the shelter is currently lacking a lot of talents.And the Canglan family indeed has a lot of talents.Not only are they capable, but they are also very experienced.
0516 Dragon's friend
Withdrawing his thoughts, George continued to look at Earl Salman.At this time, Salman and Brenda had determined the location of Dragon Tooth Fort on the map.
"That's right, it's here. Although this is the Dragon Tooth Volcano, the ore veins are also here. If the heat of the underground lava can be used, the ore output will increase dozens of times. According to the predictions of scholars, the volcano will be at least several years old. It will take a hundred years to erupt."
Earl Salman said with burning eyes, as if he was very proud of his family's construction history: "In order to build this castle, my great-grandfather hired a large number of mercenary groups to guard the work. Eldar's mercenary groups all They are good hands, and those ogres are not opponents at all. But at the beginning of the construction, all kinds of strange things continued. In the camp of the mercenary regiment responsible for guarding work, there were even ghosts from time to time. After that, the mercenary who went out Soldiers also began to disappear.”
Speaking of this, Earl Salman couldn't help shaking his head: "In the end, a sudden disaster destroyed the camp. According to records, it was found here that the attack of the ghost army was found. There are also rumors that our activities here have been alarmed. The Duke of Skywrath. But no matter what, the plan for Dragon Tooth Mountain Castle was ultimately aborted."
"So, was it really destroyed by the Duke of Skywrath?" Rona asked nervously and curiously.
Regarding this question, Earl Salman hesitated slightly, as if he once thought that if there was a dragon in the Skyfury Mountain Range, he must have destroyed it there.
But his thinking now is a little different: "When my great-grandfather was brought back by the knights, he was always a little crazy. He left a lot of words. He thought he had seen the Duke of Skywrath and spent a long time with him. For a while...According to my great-grandfather's records, the Duke of Skywrath had just arrived in this mountain range at that time, and his appearance at that time was much smaller than what we see today. And this dragon was very afraid of life Man, very timid."
"During that time together, they developed a profound friendship. The Duke of Skywrath decided to settle here because of my great-grandfather's invitation, and he said he would guard this place for his friends."
"That area should have been destroyed by the ancient undead." Brenda said suddenly: "I went to investigate, and there are traces of ancient battlefields in many caves there. I think it may be from the Canglan family." The huge project finally angered the ancient undead. Finally, the castle that had risen from the ground was finally destroyed."
The theory of the ruins of the ancient kingdom started to spread in the era of Earl Salman's great-grandfather. At that time, the mercenaries did find many mass graves and traces of ancient battlefields here.But so many mercenaries searched around at that time, but they couldn't find any clues about the ancient kingdom.
Some ancient scholars believe that Priyanka, in this canyon, the ancient Dragon Valley worshiped by the guardian dragon of the world, was once established here.But why it was destroyed, and why there was no trace of it, has completely become a mystery.
After the fog started, this place has completely become a dangerous area.The swamp in the mist makes this a terrible maze.
Every flower and grass here seems to have life, there are a lot of weird vines, and the goblins who used to be active here have also begun to hate creatures.
In that swamp, there are many dead people buried. If they are disturbed, they will be pulled into the swamp by countless hands.There are not only corrupted and mutated ogres in the swamp area, but there are also dead people wandering in the swamp from time to time.
Many adventurers even rumored that if they saw their own reflection in the water without a face, then that day would be the day of their death.
All kinds of rumors add a bit of mystery here.There are always bold adventurers trying to come here to challenge and try to solve the mysteries here.
"My lord." Earl Brenda looked at the front of the water where the current was getting faster and faster, and there were many small eddies in the water, as if the waterfall was already in front of him: "I think, I already know the relationship between the dragon's nest and the water. Where are the ruins of the ancient kingdom..."
George nodded.
Brenda usually bragging is bragging, but this guy is indeed very good at the entire shelter, and he is the only guy who can find bugs in the dungeon with him.The two of them already had a tacit understanding in the cooperation. If he said he was sure, then he should have really found something.
At this time, the adventurers had put away the sails, turned the mast down, and then everyone returned to the cabin to fix themselves, leaving only a small golden beetle on the side of the ship.
After Anubis received the order, his body flew into the air, and then his body swelled rapidly, turning into a huge monster in an instant.
Its huge body was much bigger than this ship, and in mid-air, it used those six sickle-like claws to hook the sides of the ship, and the whole ship was easily hoisted.
With the violent shaking of the hull, Anubis led the boat over the waterfall and began to fly downward.After a moment of weightlessness, the people in the boat heard the sound of the bottom of the boat hitting the water.
For a moment, the hull shook for a while, and the splashes of water on both sides almost splashed into the windows.After the ship stabilized again, the adventurers checked the bottom of the ship a little, then straightened the mast and sails, turned the oars, and continued to sail in the direction of Yuejiao Village.
At noon, the boat arrived near Yuejiao Village. As Brenda said, the journey of more than 100 kilometers took only about ten hours.
The environment of Dragon Tooth Canyon is completely different from that near the Lake of Wrath. The river here is full of green algae, and there are a few crocodiles crawling on the shore. After seeing the boats passing by, they fled into the water with a huff. .
"It's a bit too hot..." George rubbed the mosquito ointment while looking at the steamy jungle around him.
The air here is very hot and humid, it feels like a sauna.It's like going from winter to summer in July and August.
Sufficient water sources give this place a taste of a tropical rainforest, and swarms of mosquitoes are flying in the verdant jungle.When the ship was docked, a colorful snake and a large number of leeches fell on the branches of the deck.
After applying the ointment, George puts his armor back on with the help of Aggie.Looking at the guys in leather armor around him, he couldn't help but exchanged glances with the Dawn Knights, eyes full of envy.
Although there is no need to worry about mosquitoes, the inside of the armor is damp and hot, and after a short while, the inner lining has been soaked through with sweat.
Because the ship might be used later, and there was no dock nearby, everyone used brute force to cooperate with Anubis to drag the 20-meter-long sailboat to the shore after disembarking.
The land on the shore was very soft and muddy, and after a few feet, the leg armor was covered with mud.
0517 Adventurer Town in the Swamp
Watching George open the Book of Dawn again, intending to release that terrifying big spider to let her weave a web near the boat.Earl Salman looked at the Canglan family emblem painted on the boat, and couldn't help reminding him kindly: "My lord, no one will steal the boat...If we lose it, we will buy some boats from the mountain people."
Earl Salman seems to have great confidence in this matter. These daring adventurers dare to do anything.But only dare not touch the things of the nobles because it is a rebellion.
