Beneath Nolan.
Joshua had been in this world for so long that he had finally begun his true ‘Otherworld Exploration’.
The mining cart built by the frost axes could easily reach the deepest part of Nolan’s underground, but it was not that comfortable to sit on.
The mining cart was designed to transport minerals. There was no place for people to sit inside, and there was a large amount of slag stuck inside.
Joshua did not care about these dirty things… but the air underground was so stuffy that it made him feel suffocated.
The dwarves did not have complete oxygen delivery equipment when they were mining. In the words of Frost Axe, digging deep underground depended on one thing: Perseverance.
Joshua endured the turbid air in the mine cave for nearly half an hour before the mine truck slowly drove to an empty place.
From here, Joshua could see the traces of the dwarves’movements. Some kind of glowing primary crystal was located above, allowing Joshua to see the surrounding environment clearly.
The mining tools were thrown around this empty space. There were also some tents used for resting. Apart from the traces of the dwarves’movements, Joshua also saw some… skeletons of living creatures.
No… it should be said that it was the remains of some kind of giant magic conductor puppet. Joshua put his hands on the edge of the mining car and looked at the giant magic conductor puppet that only looked like ribs and skull parts not far away.
Just the part of its head could accommodate three adult human men.
“Is this the magic conductor puppet of the sublimator?”Joshua turned around and asked Frost Axe and the blue-clothed man who were sitting in the other car.
They were much more familiar with this place than Joshua.
“What magic puppet? They’re all useless pieces of metal. Twenty years ago, the only one that could move was scrapped after walking a few steps.”Frost axe seemed to be very dissatisfied with these ‘trash’who took up space.
“Joshua… When we arrive later, can I go and talk to them first?”
The blue-robed man finally spoke. When Joshua first decided to go underground to look for the sublimators, the blue-robed man and Joshua had talked for a long time, but they were unable to stop Joshua’s actions.
Helpless, they could only follow him personally. What he advocated was not to disturb the sublimators. In fact, Joshua could not be bothered to look for trouble with the sublimators. Unfortunately… The sublimators did not give Joshua this opportunity.
“Of course, there’s no problem. There won’t be any conflict…”Joshua glanced at frost axe, who was constantly sharpening his axe. He added seriously, “It’s the best.”
However, no one believed him, especially the bound black sand whose mouth was still sealed.
The mining cart left the dwarves’mining field and finally came to a space occupied by glowing algae.
“We’re Here!”Frost Axe picked up his weapon and ordered the dwarves who were controlling the mining cart to stop the cart.
Joshua could vaguely hear the sound of running water. There should be a lot of underground water nearby… The air here had also become much fresher.
“This place… looks like there really is a lot of treasure buried here.”
From the moment Joshua entered the dwarves’mining field, he had seen the remains of some buildings. After coming to this space, the remains of the buildings were almost everywhere.
The style of the buildings was very similar to the forgotten land of Arthur Crow. There were also traces left behind by the dwarven miners on the streets of this abandoned city-state.
This made Joshua give up the idea of looting the buildings.
“This is only a small part of the ruins, but the most difficult part. We only discovered it twenty years ago.”
Frost Axe jumped down from the mining cart. The Dwarven soldiers who followed frost axe immediately put on their helmets and got ready for battle.
Joshua turned around and looked at his own team. The two dragons and the two sages were already able to deal with most of the problems. Elder Kuitoan of the High Elves also personally followed Joshua here.
Other than that, the steel nation and the Farosi nation had both asked Joshua to send an expedition team to participate in this. However, Joshua still tactfully rejected these explorers who had their nation as their background.
As for the Frost Nation… when Joshua issued the bounty, Shiel was sleeping, so she did not see it. She guessed that the Frost Owl was still hugging a pillow and sleeping soundly.
“Your Highness, I sense a powerful magic aura here. Please be careful.”
Today, Joshua’s Guard, Zinas, finally remembered his job. There were also three chaos demon guards sent by Cecily.
There was also a figure in the team who had been silent all this time. When Joshua looked at her, her movements should have been tapping on the virtual keyboard.
“There are a lot of magic circles left behind by spatial magic here.”
As soon as elder Kuitoan got off the mining cart, he felt the familiar smell of magic.
“I heard from the sublimator that they went to Nolan’s surface through some teleportation magic circles.”
Joshua went directly to the real guide of this expedition team.
“But now I need you to help me find the entrance to your hometown.”
The guide was none other than the newsboy, aquamarine, who was under Black Pigeon’s command. Under Joshua’s ‘roping’, he had no choice but to help Joshua Open the entrance to the sublimator sanctum.
“I… I’ll only help you open the door.”
Aquamarine glanced at black sand, who was tied up. After coming here, he showed great fear and resistance.
“That’s all I need you to do.”
After Joshua reached an agreement with aquamarine, he led the strange exploration team into the depths of the ruins.
Aquamarine walked all the way to the end of the ruins, where the empty space was sealed by the wall. It was then that Joshua noticed that the wall at the edge of the space was not made of rocks at all, it was a special kind of metal.
When black sand was carried here by the three dwarves, he who had been able to keep his cool instantly began to struggle crazily.
Aquamarine also quickly retreated in fear.
“Jose, do you want to knock this guy out?”Frost axe had been impatient with black sand for a long time.
“No need. Tear off the seal on his mouth,”Jose said.
The Dwarves put black sand back on the ground, then tore off the seal on his mouth, and black sand breathed in the fresh air around him.
“Guardian! “If you want to see the master and mistress… They will welcome you with open arms. However, your attempt to bring these creatures into the sanctum has already violated the taboo.”Black sand was still trying to dissuade Joshua from doing what he was doing. “Why are you doing this!”
“It’s actually very simple. If I ask your race to leave this child alone, including his friends.”Joshua brought aquamarine to black sand and said, “Do you think your race will agree to let them live peacefully on the ground?”
“Impossible,”black sand replied without even thinking. “Every single one of our people is an important part of our race. They shouldn’t live on the dangerous ground.”
“This… is the problem,”Jose said to him in a low voice. “Indeed, I’m just going to have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents. However, this conversation is based on the premise that you’re willing to listen to me, or rather, you’re willing to follow my ideas. I feel that it’s too slow to make the other party understand each other through words. Thus, the more direct method is to use force to deter them. The second is the so-called negotiation.”
“Combat Power… The Guardians, give up! The guardians of the sanctum can easily sweep away the people you’ve found on the ground,”black sand said loudly.
“Interesting. If you could really ‘sweep’them away, I reckon you wouldn’t be hiding underground.”
Joshua immediately motioned for aquamarine to continue with his work. A large number of azure runes appeared on the boy’s body. The surrounding space seemed to have been awakened by his runes.
The wall emitted the light of the inscriptions. The dazzling light occupied Josh’s sight for a few seconds.
