  Chapter 452 The long-lost strike-up (23)

  Contrary to what most people imagine, the core of a water attribute monster is not as cold as frost and snow.

   On the contrary, if it is a water monster that can control the three states of ice, water and fog, its core must be extremely hot, almost like a small sun in thermal imaging.

  Because, water belongs to monsters, and it is precisely by virtue of the water element that it gathers the heat that it draws away, it can create ice out of thin air, and use the gathered heat to transpire water to spread the mist.

Just like Ian's Weiming Jade, this one and the heart, the source seed and the core of the ancient dragon are neighbors. The sublimation structure located at Ian's collarbone will release high temperature during operation, making it emit a bright blue light .

  But it was also because of this that the cold fog filled the young man's side.

And the linkage between the ancient dragon core and the silver chip has accelerated the conversion process, which is also a combination method. It is no wonder that Ian only uses the source quality of the fairy system, and those who worship the dragon can still see some clues .

  Water Flying Butterfly is a rather beautiful water-type magic insect. Its wings are black with blue stripes, and its abdomen is usually dark brown. It will light up blue when it is operating.

  When the energy-concentrating shell is running, it will absorb the heat of the surrounding objects. It only needs simple processing methods to make a simple freezer.

  Although it is said that the interior of Ian's air-wrapping armor is essentially a freezer, it is nothing more than daily maintenance. If you really want to advance Frost Butterfly, you must still need regular props.

   "The next step is to find a safe place, let Frost Butterfly advance, and absorb the materials I prepared to advance."

  After putting on his armor and packing his luggage, Ian looked at the pillar of cloud and the thunder light not far away, and then gently patted the back of the camel beast, making this huge creature that had slept for a long time get up.

  The side of the Dihurricane Bridge close to Nanling Province is surrounded by several towns, presenting a maple leaf-like shape.

  Before dawn, Ian came to a town in the middle named 'Huang Teng Luo'.

As its name suggests, the city can be seen everywhere. There are always light yellow vines hanging on the terrace of the two-story huts made of solid stone and wood. This sunny-colored plant means 'wealth' and 'good luck', which is the key culture here. .

  When the first ray of morning light shines on the yellow vines, the whole city seems to wake up. The streets are full of people, and the noise of passing cars and freight caravans makes this place seem very lively.

Ian stopped by and bought some local specialty burritos. This kind of burrito lined with a layer of sweet sauce, bacon and crispy fruit strips tastes quite good. The sweet sauce is sweet, the crispy fruit is crisp, and the bacon is delicious. The taste is distinct and unified, which is perfect for breakfast.

   I have to say that this taste reminded Ian of the chicken rolls and roast duck in his previous life—speaking of which, it seems that no one in Terra really cooks roast duck?

  You can try it at your own home next time.

  In Huangtengluo Town, you can watch the Hurricane Cloud Pillar up close.

To the northwest of the town, the grey-yellow cloud pillar is blowing towards the sky at a slow but extremely fast speed from a distance. It is an orange-red pillar of fire spewing out from the center of the earth.

"There should be a geothermal power station below here... or a mantle mining center, and then part of the underground water system around the Baisen Mountains flooded over and overflowed into the Great Rift Valley. The heat and water intertwined and became this cloud pillar. "

While eating the burrito, Ian visually observed the truth of this 'hurricane' - he was indeed shocked and curious by this spectacle, but after careful analysis, he found that it was not inexplicable: "The golden field itself is a lava eruption, even It was a precursor to a small-scale dark rock incident, but it was suppressed by the ascendants of that era, or the survivors of the previous era with unknown means."

   "In other words, the geothermal resources in the entire northern part of the Nanling Ridge must be very rich. There is a geothermal power station that is still in operation. It is not surprising that its spillover energy has created a stable celestial phenomenon like a hurricane."

Today's hurricane is not only a spectacle, but also a water resource cycle center around the edge of the golden field—the underground river in the Bison Mountains is evaporated by the geothermal heat inside the Great Rift Valley, and the hurricane turns into a cloud column and blows it high into the sky From time to time, it will turn into a heavy rain to wash the surrounding area, forming regular rainfall.

   And Ian estimated the cloud cover and found that there will be a rain in at most two or three days, and it will rain this afternoon at the earliest.

   "Go buy some alchemy materials first, there are too many potions for acting."

  Ian checked his package when he set off before, and there were indeed not many alchemy materials left.

  Although there is no need to fight on the next journey, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing...Preparation is the criterion for him to walk all the way.

  So he walked into an alchemy workshop to prepare relevant materials.

   "Hello, Mr. Knight... Do you have a member? Or an introducer?"

  The clerk looked at Ian in the air-wrapped armor and the order he asked for, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

   It's not that he made things difficult, or that he didn't want to do this business—it's only a fool who makes things difficult for a sublimator who wears sublimated armor and doesn't look easy to mess with, maybe which knight.

  The main reason is that the materials Ian asked for were too many and too complicated, and some dangerous materials were mixed in them. They didn't dare to sell them casually without identification.

  Of course Ian understood this. After he showed his knight document and alchemist certificate, the clerk was relieved.

  The clerk hands over the order to the other staff members and asks Ian to wait in the lounge.

   "Sure enough, it's better to use our own chamber of commerce." Ian thought to himself.

Neither Bai Zhimin's own White Room Chamber of Commerce, nor the Platinum Iridium Workshop and Yinfang Chamber of Commerce have asked him for these declarations—knowing his identity doesn't have to be one of them, even if there are really some that can't be sold publicly in theory. For the prohibited materials, they must have transferred them to themselves without blinking an eye, and without putting the account in the warehouse.

   There are newspapers in Huangtengluo Town. After all, this place is also a large-scale material distribution center, and a large number of caravans and adventurers pass by here every day.

  Ian read the news in the newspaper while waiting for the workshop staff to count the materials for him.

  Because it is a local newspaper in a small place, it is essentially a variety of employment, recruitment and transaction-related information, and it really has all kinds of things.

  Ian only turned two pages, and saw advertisements for buying and selling alchemy firearms, requesting for refining potions, offering rewards for bandits in the Western Territory, and recruiting mercenaries to accompany the team.

  In addition to this, there are also personnel tasks such as collecting specific Warcraft materials, and recruiting new recruits from the gangs around the Hurricane Bridge...

  The most outrageous thing is that there is even an announcement to openly recruit smuggling channels!

   It's a mess, and I don't know how to typesetting.

  Ian is keenly aware that this is also a kind of business opportunity—if there are smart people who sort out the various commissions, recruitments, and rewards in these local newspapers, and make use of them, they can definitely make a small fortune.

   Among other things, based on the contents of the newspaper he saw just now, there is completely complementary news about alchemists recommending themselves and entrusting them to refine medicines.

It’s okay to be an intermediary without doing anything... but you can only earn hard money, and you need to have a brain and a silver chip like his that can quickly collect information. Long-term contacts.

  After the teenager finished flipping through the newspaper, the material also arrived.

The alchemy materials Ian purchased ranged from the most common Rainheart Grass to the rare Queen Ant Poison, from the ordinary earth crystals to the golden roots of the Jade Blood Vine, adding up to more than one hundred and forty-five talers. The largest sum of money the boy spent after he left Port Harrison.

  Feeling the disappearance of Thaler, in exchange for two boxes of various herbal ores, Ian felt a strange sense of refreshment.

  —Finally, I earn my own money and spend it myself, instead of being given a lot of things inexplicably!

   "It feels surprisingly good to be self-reliant!"

  Thinking of this, Ian was planning to pack up the materials and go to the hotel to prepare advanced potions for Frost Butterfly.

  He suddenly encountered a long-lost strike-up.

   "Wait, brothers and sisters over there..."

   Just listening to the sound is refreshing. The soft female voice came from behind the boy, making him raise his eyebrows slightly. Instead of turning his head, he used the fairy sense to look behind him.

   Then, he was surprised once, and even turned his head.

  Because what caught Ian's eyes was a beautiful girl.
