Mage Adam Chapter 169: Target Icefield
Lina couldn't wait. The specified time limit given to her by Adam was two days, but she shortened the time to one day and posted it. Although the slaves wondered why the master was so urgent, no one dared to ask.
So at noon the next day, Adam got the map he requested early.
It's just that this map doesn't meet the standard at all. Adam looked at Lina speechlessly, then pointed to the map and asked, "What is this triangle? And this circle, this square... Are you sure it's not random? Graffiti but a map?"
Adam found that he still overestimated this group of heterogeneous races. They didn't even know the most basic knowledge of geography. Any apprentice on the Mage Continent, no, even a knight, has the ability to draw a map. Basic common sense, but what this group of forest elves handed him is simply a piece of waste paper.
Lina was stunned when asked, and she took the map and explained: "This is the main peak where Lord Okov lives, this is a lake not far from the main peak, this is the tribe of the wetland race..." After she explained, she looked at Adam innocently, "It's very clear."
Adam sighed helplessly. This was his negligence. He couldn't blame Lina. He used to issue orders according to the standards of the wizard world, but he forgot that these races on the Dragon Plane had no basic education at all. In other words, they are a bunch of illiterate people.
In desperation, Adam had to make an ice crystal board, and personally drew the journey of the two from the main peak to the forest tribe in a relatively standardized format, and marked the icons representing various terrains in common language. down.
"Take it back and look carefully, then redraw your map in standard format. Most importantly, mark the areas with the most violent and unstable energy reactions."
Lina took the ice crystal board and found that comparing what she drew was really two different things. She couldn't help but feel ashamed. The important places on the map that Adam handed her have been highlighted with energy, but Lina still has some problems. Where you understand, for example: "Master, what does the scale mean?"
Adam had to explain the concept again, Lina nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely be able to draw a perfect map, and then hurried out of the laboratory to collect data again.
The devil hid in Adam's mind and laughed: "Master, I think I have more brains than her, don't you think about it anymore?"
Adam was already going to destroy this temporary laboratory, but he didn't expect to encounter such a low-level problem, so he had to sit down again, silently gave the devil a language limit, and then said: "Shut up."
In the evening of this day, Lina brought the redrawn map to Adam. Although it still did not meet the standard, at least she could understand the general terrain. For ordinary mortal races, the accuracy of the map was very high, but If the user is a creature with powerful personal strength like a mage, this is enough.
Adam put away the map and stomped on the ground. The laboratory and the ice thorns in the center of the tribe exploded at the same time. A blizzard suddenly fell, and after melting, it covered all his breath.
Adam pointed to a male forest elf behind Lina and said, "Just let him follow me, you can take the others with you."
The forest elf named was pale, while Lina couldn't hide her excitement and wanted to say something.
Adam interrupted her directly: "Stop talking nonsense, remember your mission." After finishing speaking, he grabbed the elf and flew towards the unknown area of the Dragon Plane.
———
The main peak of the Makalu Mountains towers into the clouds and is covered with frost and a huge number of ice elements all year round. These elements belong to Okov alone and enter his body with every breath in his sleep to complete the cycle.
Adam guessed that this is the cultivation method of the Dragon Clan, directly absorbing the elements, but it is somewhat similar to the cultivation method of the real body of the elements. According to this inference, the reason why the adult giant dragons will drive the little dragons who have just passed their infancy out of the dragon's lair may be that the little dragons at this time already need to practice, and they are unwilling to share limited resources with other dragons, even their own children. elements, so they will be driven away.
In other words, this time is the most dangerous stage in the dragon's life. What method do ordinary dragons use to escape the maliciousness that covers the entire plane?
By passing on knowledge and dragon magic?
Flying for a whole night, Adam reached the border of the forest, beyond which was a rubble desert, and there was no sign of life at a glance.
"What's ahead?" Adam asked to the elf who had been flying beside him in trembling.
The elf hit the spirits, and Adam was simply fear itself in his heart. Not only did he brutally kill hundreds of his fellow clans at the beginning, but even the way he gave them power was so discordant. Although he enjoyed the power, he could Lining will never forget that horrible feeling.
"Big, my lord..." The elf didn't know how to call the master's master, "There is no name here, but after flying forward for three days and three nights, it is the racial union area."
"The racial union district? Not some kingdom, principality?"
The elf shook his head again and again: "No, there were no countries on the mainland a long time ago, there were only city-states, and the rulers there called themselves consuls, and they were all a bunch of nasty guys. They didn't welcome people from..." The elf forced Swallowing back the disrespectful adjective, then continued: "The race of the dragon-lord's domain has entered."
The city-state system, a backward, separate and autonomous low-level political community, freedom and autonomy is its characteristic and fatal drawback~IndoMTL.com~ Adam fell to the ground and silently thought about these things, and inspiration flashed in his mind , it seems that according to this system, a big vote can be made.
Adam is thinking, and the elf is constantly encouraging himself in his heart. He knows that his life, strength, glory, etc. are all related to the terrifying existence in front of him called the Frost Dragon, who is actually a demon. After being killed, he must show his worth as soon as possible. He gathered up his courage and said, "Sir, do you want to find a safe place to build a dragon's lair?"
Adam walked forward slowly, wagging his tail for him to continue.
"The Makalu Mountains are the most icy region around, but if we continue north, we can reach a vast ice field where only a few savage races live."
Adam's eyes lit up. For him, the mountain is far less suitable for the development of the plan than the ice field. If what this elf said is true, his subsequent plans can be carried out by relying on the ice field.
"What's your name?"
The elf took a deep breath and said, "Sir, my name is Camby."
