Chapter 281 Nameless Island
"Oh? Does Mage Bayton have lava soil?"
Merlin's eyes lit up, it would be easier if Mage Bayton had lava soil. M
But Mage Beton shook his head and said, "How can I have a lava soil? But Mage Merlin can also try the method I said. On the Purple Fire Island, there are some dead volcanoes, and I don't know what spells are being cast in them. No matter how many times the attacker has probed, anything of value has been looted."
"If Mage Merlin wants to find lava soil, just looking for dead volcanoes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get lava soil! Mage Merlin, you can try to enter those volcanoes that are not too active, although there are certain dangers, but there are Hope to get lava soil."
Merlin frowned. Although it is possible for a less active volcano to obtain lava soil, it also means that there is a certain danger. Unlike a dead volcano, there is almost no danger.
Seemingly seeing Merlin's hesitation, Master Beiton smiled and continued: "Master Merlin, don't worry, although those less active volcanoes are dangerous, I just know that there are a few less active volcanoes. Few spellcasters have visited, and it hasn't erupted for decades. As long as Mage Merlin doesn't stay in it for a long time, there shouldn't be any danger."
Hearing Master Beton say this, Merlin gradually showed a smile on his face and said, "Master Beton, where are the specific locations of those less active volcanoes?"
"Mage Merlin, those volcanoes are relatively remote and not on Purple Fire Island, otherwise they would have been explored by spellcasters long ago. If Mage Merlin needs it, let me take Mage Merlin there."
"Then there is Mage Lauberton!"
Merlin was not polite either. Lava soil is extremely important to him, and he will not pass up any opportunity.
"It's not too late, let's go now!"
Mage Beiton then explained a few words to the short and fat Mage, and then took Merlin and quickly left Zihuo Island.
*****
On the vast sea. Merlin could only take a small boat and shuttled between the islands, and Mage Bayton was a fourth-level spellcaster. Although he also had wind-based flying spells, he did not waste his mana, but sat on the boat with Merlin. , rowed toward an island in the distance.
The boat was rowing slowly, but Merlin didn't dare to take it lightly. His mental power was shrouded in the surroundings at any time, checking the movements in the surrounding sea area.
After all, it was already on the outskirts of the Kordmansla Islands.
There are many sea beasts, and they may attack at any time, so Merlin can't help but be on guard.
"Master Beton, since you discovered these volcanoes, why didn't you go in and investigate?"
Merlin asked Master Beton in a calm tone. on the way. Merlin already knew that these volcanoes discovered by Master Beton were not even recorded in the map of Udon Castle, and few people knew about them.
Master Beiton glanced at Merlin, did not hide it, but said with a smile: "I came to that unnamed island by accident, and I discovered these islands by accident. This unnamed island is not even in Cole. Within the range of Domansla Archipelago, it is considered to be isolated overseas. At that time, I was in a hurry, so naturally I didn’t stop there. And I was also afraid that those volcanoes were very active, and it would be dangerous to go in rashly.”
"Later, I returned to Udon Fort, and it has been decades before I knew it. When I came to the unnamed island again, I still found no signs of these volcanoes erupting. But at this time, I I’m already a fourth-level spellcaster, and I’m quite well-known in Udon Castle. The resources I need are almost inexhaustible, so why would I venture into the volcano again?”
Merlin nodded, it is very dangerous to enter the volcano, but some precious medicines or alchemy materials in the volcano may be a lot of wealth for mages below the fourth-level spellcaster. But for casters above the fourth level, it is nothing at all, and there is no need to venture into the volcano.
Even the lava soil is actually not that precious, but it is very rare. In the eyes of other spellcasters, the lava soil is only a relatively rare alchemy material.
But for Merlin, the lava soil is very important, which is related to whether his melting earth magic can be cultivated, so even if there is danger, he must get it.
After Master Beton finished explaining, he didn't speak again, and he didn't ask Merlin what he needed to do with the lava soil, which made Merlin a little relieved.
"call……"
A gust of sea breeze blew, and the speed of the boat suddenly accelerated, and soon drifted to a desolate-looking island.
"Here, this is the nameless island!"
Master Beton stepped onto the beach and looked around, with a vague sense of familiarity in his mind.
Merlin was also looking around. This unnamed island has far exceeded the outermost periphery of the Cordomansla Archipelago and no longer belongs to the Cordomansela Archipelago.
In the vast sea, there are too many unnamed islands like this, but some unnamed islands are often the nests of some sea beasts, so you need to be very careful.
"Mage Merlin, did you find anything unexpected?"
Master Beton also extended his mental power and looked around, but did not find any hidden sea beasts, so he checked with Merlin again.
Merlin also nodded and said, "No surprise, it seems that there are no sea beasts on the island."
"Be careful."
The spiritual power of Master Beton is always shrouded in the surroundings, with a cautious appearance.
"call out".
Suddenly, a black ray slammed towards the Beton Master walking in front, and the black ray also emitted a stench.
"Frozen!"
Merlin, who had been observing the surrounding movement for a long time, directly released the extremely ice finger, and a trace of cold air easily froze the black rays.
The black rays fell into the dense grass. Merlin took a closer look and found that it was a small insect like a cricket. fangs.
Although it looks small, it is very ferocious.
Bayton didn't know what it was either. After all, in the vast sea, there will be all kinds of strange creatures, and it is not surprising that some insects that no one has seen before appear on this nameless island.
"Be careful. Mage Merlin, you should release defensive spells."
The Master Baton has long released defensive spells.
Merlin just smiled and did not release any defensive spells. His defensive spell, Earth Veil, was only equivalent to a relatively powerful second-level defensive spell without gaining the augmentation of the melting magic energy. Perhaps Release the enhanced version, which can be infinitely close to the third-level spell.
But whether it was the black robe of the Dark Spirit Realm or the gold-edged robe of Udon Castle, Merlin could resist third-level spells. Far better than Merlin's release of the Earth's Curtain defense effect.
Therefore, Merlin, who has two robes, just needs to be careful and does not need to cast spells at all.
The two walked through the dense grass and encountered some strange and eccentric insects, which seemed to be small in size. But the body is very tough. Ordinary first- and second-level spells can't help these weird insects.
These insects can only be harmed by casting spells above the third level. Fortunately, Merlin has magical energy, and Mage Bayton is a fourth-level spellcaster, so this journey can be considered a near miss.
"Mage Merlin, there are three volcanoes in front of them, and they are not far apart."
Master Beton pointed to the three volcanoes not far away, almost all of which were covered by dense grass. If it wasn't for Master Beton's confirmation, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find that there are three volcanoes here.
But such a hidden volcano. It is a good thing for Merlin, because the volcano is so secretive, so after so many years, no one has discovered that there is a volcano here, then Merlin enters the volcano and finds the chance of finding the lava soil will greatly increase.
"Master Beiton, you wait outside for a while, I'll go down first, is there any lava soil?"
There was a hint of anticipation in Merlin's eyes.
Master Beiton also nodded and said: "Okay, I will wait outside, but Master Merlin, don't delay, if there is no lava soil, leave as soon as possible, after all, these three volcanoes, no one can tell. When will it erupt?"
Seeing the dignified expression of Master Beton, Merlin nodded, then took a deep breath, and quickly ran towards the first volcano.
*****
"call……"
In the dark volcano, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he slipped smoothly to the bottom of the volcano.
In this volcano, the air was extremely hot, which made Merlin faintly vigilant. Generally, a very hot volcano is very easy to erupt. This also indirectly proves that this volcano is not a completely dead volcano.
Merlin didn't spend too much time observing the situation at the bottom of the volcano, but directly used his mental power to search for it at the bottom of the volcano.
This kind of volcano that has erupted before, but has not erupted for hundreds or even thousands of years, is most likely to form lava soil.
"It's so hot!"
Merlin gently touched the rock wall at the bottom of the volcano and felt a hot feeling.
"Huh? No, why is only this rock wall hot?"
Merlin immediately realized that something was wrong, so he turned around again and carefully checked the hot rock wall. After a closer look, he immediately found the difference between this rock wall.
The other rock walls are dry and hard, but this rock wall seems a little soft, and after drying the dust on the rock wall, I can faintly see that this rock wall is a fiery red, like a burning flame.
Merlin was overjoyed, and he immediately thought of some features of the lava soil, similar to this rock wall.
"Haha, I finally found it. It seems that there is not a lot of lava soil here!"
Merlin's face showed excitement, and then he quickly took out his sharp dagger and began to cut the hard rock wall little by little, cutting the lava soil from the rock wall.
After a while, the rock walls around the lava soil were knocked off, and the lava soil was almost embedded in the hard rock wall. Now it is only necessary to slowly cut the lava soil from the inside.
The sharp dagger in Merlin's hand just reached into the concave rock wall when he felt a slight vibration. It was not obvious at first, but soon, the vibration became more and more obvious, and it was accompanied by a burst of vibration. It sounded like a "roar".
"what happened?"
Merlin frowned. At this time, the entire rock wall was shaking slightly, and pieces of gravel fell from it.
The entire volcano was filled with an unbearably hot breath, and the temperature seemed to have increased several times in a short period of time.
"Could it be..."
Merlin slammed into the bottom of the volcano, and in the darkness, he seemed to be able to see a little bit of fire light flickering. Suddenly, Merlin's face instantly turned pale.
[Laoyue is working hard to recover...]
