Chapter 890 891. Under the Kui Island Volcano

Great Magician Grams looked up at the crater and saw some green smoke floating into the sky...

"Dwarves are the most professional in this matter. Perhaps you can ask them for advice."

Great Magician Grames said to Roy.

Roy was scratching his head. If the gray dwarf prisoners were allowed to work in the forging workshop, there would be no problem. However, these gray dwarves could not be trusted to deal with the hidden dangers of the volcano on Kuei Island.

The great wizard Grams continued:
"In fact, if you want to solve the hidden dangers of volcanic eruptions on Kui Island, all you have to do is deal with the lava flow, volcanic ash and poisonous gas when the volcano erupts."

"The lava flow is the easiest for us. There is a tropical jungle to the south of the volcano, but there are cliffs and the sea to the north of the volcano. We only need to guide the lava flow to the north of the island to avoid the harm of the lava flow. We are fully capable of blasting a gap on the north side of the crater. In this way, the lava gushing out of the crater can flow to the north along the gap..."

As he spoke, the great magician Grams drew a simple diagram on the ground.

He continued to look towards the crater, frowned and said:

"It's just that the volcanic debris that is ejected into the sky is difficult to control. However, once a volcanic eruption of that scale is triggered, don't even think about staying on the island. The best way to escape is to evacuate Kui Island as soon as possible."

"In addition, the volcanic ash and the large amount of poisonous gas formed after the eruption will also cause great harm. The best way is to rely on rainfall to purify the volcanic lake and the poisonous gas. This is easy for magicians. The Naga Sea Clan is very proficient in water magic."

"Finally, we have to consider the fires caused by volcanic eruptions, which will cause forest fires."

"Once the rainforest in the south of Kuei Island is destroyed, Kuei Island will become a dead island, so we must not let the lava flow down the south slope..."

The great magician Grahams was indeed very experienced, and what he said was more comprehensive than what Roy had thought.

Roy flew to the crater this time mainly because he wanted to see the condition of the volcano himself.

At present, the state of the Kuei Island volcano is relatively stable, and there are not many bubbles in the lava pool...

"This volcano needs to be properly managed. We have to consider the future of Kuei Island. If I have a chance, I will go to the Dwarf Kingdom to visit those master craftsmen and ask them for help and advice."

After Roy finished speaking, he, Grahames, and Sabrina walked down the mountain road to the foot of the mountain...

Sabrina lets the white griffin fly into the sky.

The three of them walked along the hillside and into the jungle for a while.

Entering the dense jungle, the lush vegetation blocked the sunlight, and it was quite humid and hot here. Because there was a volcano to the north, the sea breeze could hardly blow in...

Roy brought Grahams and Sabrina to the entrance of the underground castle.

The entrance to this underground castle is built at the foot of the southern slope of the Kuei Island volcano.

There are a lot of rocks piled up here, and it is also covered with dense vegetation.

There are two huge stone doors at the entrance of the underground castle. Both stone doors are 20 meters high. On both sides of the passage inside the stone door, two rows of stone pillars extend into the cave...

Seeing the nearly two-meter-thick stone door with two rows of tall stone pillars inside, Great Magician Grams couldn't help but sigh:
"I really can't imagine how you defeated the gray dwarf bandits in this underground castle..."

Roy walked in front and saw the half-elf guards standing in the corridor saluting him, so he nodded to them.

After walking over, Roy said to the Great Magician Grahams:

"The battlefield is different now than it was before. What matters on the battlefield now is magic weapons. To be honest, the weapons produced by the Silver Moon Elf Magic Workshop are not only exquisite in style, but also very powerful. They have no other disadvantages except being expensive."

"That's how war works. As long as you're willing to throw magic crystals at these gray dwarves, they won't be able to come up with a way to deal with it, and they'll have to keep sacrificing their lives."

"In order to save their own lives, they were willing to give up even their hometown of Durrag. Why would they be reluctant to give up a mere underground castle?"

"Is this the confidence of the Partington plane?" Great Magician Grams looked at Roy and asked, "Why can't the elf nobles in Buenos Aires see this?"

Roy said casually:

"They are blinded by their lust for power. Arrogance is the greatest sin of the nobles of Buenos Aires."

The great magician Grams walked through the tall corridor and stood in front of the gate inside the underground castle. He said with shock in his eyes:
"I guess giving up the Partington plane is definitely the most unsuccessful decision for those guys..."

Roy continued, "For so many years, all the elves have had a very paranoid view in their hearts, that is, the main plane is supreme, and only the elves who were exiled or committed crimes and exiled themselves would run to live in other planes..."

"Even when living in other planes, the elves lack the spirit of exploration. They always look for a picturesque place to live in seclusion. They don't care much about what resources are available on this plane."

The three of them entered the inner block of the dungeon, and the half-elf guards guarding the door immediately let them in after seeing Roy.

The streets built according to the terrain are compact but not narrow, and the stone houses are scattered around and connected together.

The buildings in the entire dungeon all have a strong dwarven style...

Walking along the street in the center of the dungeon, you can see three magic furnaces built close to the rock wall at the end of the street.

The three huge magic furnaces are still flowing with hot magma. The heat source of the entire magic furnace comes from the boiling magma inside the volcano.

The magma flowed out from the mountain walls, giving the air in the dark underground castle a faint smell of sulfur.

Perhaps only dwarves like to smell this smell.

The underground castle has good ventilation, and I don’t know how many ventilation ducts the gray dwarves have dug above their heads.

I have to say that the underground castle built by the gray dwarves is very grand. It is like a small city in the huge cave.

The three of them walked through the deserted streets of the underground castle and came to the vicinity of the furnace, where they discovered that there was a river of boiling lava flowing along the edge of the stone wall near the furnace.

There are actually some dwarf craftsmen next to the magic furnace. Although these three furnaces are not operating normally, in order to keep the magic furnaces in normal condition, there must be craftsmen guarding the furnaces at all times to prevent the magic crucibles inside from being completely scrapped after the furnaces cool down.

There are also two teams of half-elf guards at the magic furnace. Their main responsibility is to ensure the safety of the miners here.

Roy looked at the tall furnace in silence.

The great wizard Grams asked him:

"Are you planning to use the furnace here?"

Roy nodded.

"This will become a magic metal smelting workshop. The forging workshop on the Pagisto Plateau mainly consumes the output of the mines in the Sudarso Mountains and the Kassi Mountains. Now the mines in the Nicobar Mountains have begun to mine red copper ores. It is estimated that it will not be long before the silver mines in the Caldeum Mountains will also be in operation. In this way, a large amount of magic metal will be produced." "The metal ingots transported from various mines have only undergone preliminary smelting and contain a lot of impurities. These magic metals will be transported to Kui Island and will be refined twice. Only in this way can the smelted magic metals be directly traded on the magic market."

"The demand for magic metals in the magic market of the Silver Moon Elves is not very high. The country with the highest demand for magic metals should be the Dwarf Kingdom."

"I want these magic metals to sell to the dwarves!"

Roy asked again:
"Gremus, do you know a dwarf magician?"

Standing thirty meters away from the lava river, you can feel the heat wave coming towards you.

The great magician Grams smiled awkwardly:
"I do know a few old guys, but my relationship with them is not very harmonious. After getting along for a while, there are always some disputes. It is difficult to sit down calmly and improve our relationship."

Roy said to the Great Magician Grems: "I heard that the coalition of the Dwarf Kingdom and the Orc Tribe occupied the east coast of Durrag's Knee. Perhaps we can contact the coalition formed by the Dwarves and Orcs."

Great Magician Grams shook his head:

"That might be a bit difficult. The Silvermoon Elf Kingdom and the Gray Dwarf's Durrag are separated not only by the Evernight Forest, but also by the vast Mensa Plains. Those orcs have a deep grudge against us, and they won't treat you well..."

……

Roy stayed on Kui Island for more than half a month.

During this period, the sea defense line of Kui Island was raised by another half meter.

Hundreds of carts of metal ingots were continuously transported from the Pagisto Plateau, and all of them were dumped in a warehouse next to the magic furnace in the dungeon.

The duergar craftsmen did not begin to refine these magical metal ingots.

Finally, Miss Nania arrived, bringing a Naga mermaid with her.

The meeting with Roy was still in the evening. Miss Nania pulled a Naga mermaid with a tri-color fish tail up the seawall. The Naga mermaid with a tri-color fish tail stared with big eyes and kept looking around.

Miss Nania introduced herself to Roy: Her name was Abisenfan.

Roy discovered that she possessed the most precious tri-color fish tail among the Naga sea people. According to the knowledge instilled in him by Miss Tiffany, Naga mermaids with fish tails of this color all had some royal bloodline.

She was younger than Miss Nania and had a somewhat childish face.

No matter what she sees, her eyes will be filled with little stars, and her eyes will be full of innocence and purity.

"...Did you trick her into coming here?"

Roy stood behind Miss Nania and questioned her in a low voice.

Miss Nania covered her lips, glanced at Roy triumphantly, and said triumphantly:
"Of course not. This was her own idea. I just gave her some advice and introduced her to you."

Hearing what Miss Nania said, Roy breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"That's good."

At this time, Miss Abisenfan was standing on the edge of the seawall, looking into the distance at the endless sea.

The sun had already sunk into the sea, but the edge of the sea looked like it was burning, with a hint of orange.

Roy thought about his words, then came to Miss Abisenfan and said to her:
"Ms. Abisenfan, I heard that you want to visit the elf world. How much do you know about the elf world?"

Miss Abisenfan looked at Roy blankly, then at Miss Nania.

Miss Nania translated what Roy said into Naga.

Miss Abisonfan winked playfully and shook her head slightly to indicate that she didn't quite understand.

Roy said to Miss Abisenfan:
"You know, it takes about half a month to sail from Kuei Island to Castletown Port, the nearest port on the Elven Continent, with a favorable wind. In fact, we may encounter a lot of troubles along the way, such as those cruel and greedy gray dwarf bandits. We may also encounter the Silver Moon Elf Army, and sometimes they are not easy to talk to."

Miss Nania translated to Abisenfan again.

Roy continued:
"Going east from Kui Island, this sea area is actually no longer controlled by the Naga Sea Clan. If we encounter any danger, we cannot seek help from the Naga Sea Clan army."

After listening to Roy's description of the Elf Sea, Miss Abisenfan asked Roy:

"Will you protect us, Mr. Roy?"

"Of course, from the moment you decide to follow me to the Elf Continent, I will be responsible for your safety." Roy replied.

Miss Abisenfan spread her hands and asked Roy, "Then what should I worry about?"

This question left Roy speechless.

Just when Roy was wondering why she trusted him so much, he heard Miss Abisenfan say:

"I have a sister who you rescued from the Lost Sea. After she returned to Gomez City, she always told me about her experiences on the run. In fact, I heard your name a few months ago, Boss Roy, I think I can trust you."

Roy then realized that some of the Naga people he rescued in the Lost Sea actually ran back to Gomez City and told about their experiences.

Miss Abisenfan looked at Roy seriously and continued:

"I really want to meet the musicians of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. I heard that they can play beautiful melodies with different instruments. I really want to see it."

"If you can fulfill my wish, take me to meet the musicians in the elf world, and let me enjoy an elf concert, I will help you get the dwarven metal outside the city. I will keep my word..."

At this time, Miss Ai Bisenfan's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Roy thought of Claire and felt that this matter didn't seem too difficult.

As long as we bring Miss Abisonfan to Castleton City, let her meet Claire, and let Claire play a few songs for her, we can get the bases of those magic cannons. This business is a profit no matter how you look at it.

Although there has been a long-standing grudge between the Naga sea tribe and the elves, the young Nagas and elves do not hate each other.

Roy then agreed on a departure time with Miss Nania, and they just had to wait for the high tide tomorrow morning so that the magic airship could take off from the Kuei Island Pier.

The magic airship will first reach the edge of the Queen Ewenni Islands, and then enter the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom...
