Chapter 177

How do you build a city from scratch in such a harsh environment?

If this was a world without supernatural powers and technology, the answer would probably be impossible. However, in Adam's opinion, building a city was not difficult.

Adam removed the ice seal on the snow worm's head and used two tough elemental threads to bind them. Then, like herding livestock, he drove them into the ground and had them loosen the ground like earthworms to dig out a foundation.

Adam felt that the snow worms were especially suitable for this job. There was no need to deal with the layer of ice that was dug out when using them to dig a hole, because they would eat it directly. Moreover, in the process of eating, the two heads of one snow worm were growing into two more!

Adam's imagination ran wild. When the Drakonid who had been in a coma due to the Devil's brutal soul contract woke up, he could hand over the task of loosening the ground to him. Meanwhile, Adam could catch a few more snow worms and break them in half. This way, not only would the problem of digging a hole be solved, but he could also use the energy stones produced by the snow worms as building bricks.

In a plane where the Dimensional Pocket could not be used, the energy stones solved Adam's urgent problem. Although he could not inscribe runes on the energy stones, the magical circles of ancient magic were not affected. The few magical circles he obtained on Ceylon Island could be put to great use.

Not to mention other things, just an ordinary defensive magical circle could add to the attractiveness of the Free Cities.

Moreover, if this city could survive until the day Adam completed his mission to summon the mage, it would probably add another point to his merit in this war.

The construction site of the otherworld was in full swing.

The Drakonid woke up in the morning of the second day. Perhaps because he had used too much strength, his soul seemed to have some problems. He had become a robot that could only accept orders. This made the Devil feel a little awkward. He knew that his master wanted to interrogate the Drakonid for his inherited knowledge, but in this situation, it was obviously impossible to do so.

Adam was a little disappointed, but this was not a big deal. After building the city, as long as the reward was enough, there would naturally be bold adventurers who would find all kinds of test subjects for him. It was not impossible for them to directly catch a baby dragon.

Since he was already half-crippled, Adam might as well use him as a tool. He used his purebred draconic blood to strengthen Rice's bloodline. After ordering Canbi, who was feeling uneasy due to the lack of suitable work, Adam flew alone into the unknown lands of the vast icy plains.

He needed to find a large magic beast that could help build the city, as well as a certain number of snow worms.

Everything went smoothly. There was no lack of creatures in the ice field, but they lived underground and were difficult to find. Under Adam's draconic aura, the large magical beasts had nowhere to hide. Two days later, Adam drove five giant snow worms and dozens of ice bears back to the construction site.

The demon had erased the soul of the Drakonid Rice and gained complete control over the body. After it joined the fray, the speed of the construction of the city skyrocketed. Adam only needed to control the snow worms to eat, eat, and eat, and then arrange the excreted energy stones into the city according to the ancient magic circle.

Canbi received a new mission. Adam asked him to come in contact with the barbarians living in the ice field.

After three cycles of blizzards, the first city on the ice field was completed. As Adam channeled the first elemental energy, the magic circle began to work. A thin transparent barrier enveloped the free city. For the first time, there was a completely safe place on the ice field.

"Master, you're leaving at this time? Who will preside over the city building ceremony? "The Devil asked curiously.

The blizzards had just ended, and the ice field had calmed down. Adam wanted to take advantage of this time to head to the edge of the world and see what it was like. As for the city building ceremony, "You preside over it as Rice. It's not suitable for me to show myself for the time being."

The Devil was stunned for a moment, but soon became excited. "What about the city lord? Am I the city lord as well? "

Adam nodded. In the short month since he came to the ice field, he had grown up every day. Nodding his head was a little difficult because his dragon horn would always touch the low walls.

"The free city has just been built. Nobody will come to participate in the ceremony. Canbi left for a month and hasn't returned. I reckon he didn't die in the blizzards, or was killed by the ice field natives." Adam calmly pulled out his dragon horn, pouring a bucket of cold water on the Devil. Canbi's true master was Lina, and Adam had no way to ascertain whether he was dead or alive.

The Devil smacked his lips with interest. "It doesn't matter master. The free city will be very famous because its city lord is Lord Garfield!"

"There is indeed a problem with this plane."

Five days later, Adam muttered to himself as he stood a hundred kilometers away from the edge of the world.

A hundred kilometers was a safe distance. Adam felt that if he took another step forward, his dragon body would shatter. At that time, he could only reveal his identity as a wizard and raise his wizard armor to survive.

According to a wizard's understanding of the world's boundary, it should be a hazy and deep mist-like structure. It should be very stable. But now, the boundary in front of Adam was actually gorgeous and colorful like an aurora, unceasingly emitting dangerous and terrifying energy rays.

The situation was rather obvious. The crystal wall of the dragon plane was being eroded by external energy, and its essence was changing. Only, Adam couldn't ascertain whether it was an invasion or a collision.

He paced back and forth near the boundary for over ten days. Compared to the lifespan of a plane, this amount of time wasn't worth mentioning. But Adam discovered that the safety line had shrunk by nearly a millimeter.

At this rate, in less than a few hundred years, the living space of the dragon plane wouldn't be much left. Once the living space shrank, what would follow would be an endless and desperate civil war.

Adam felt that something big was about to happen in his first exploration mission. Originally, according to the level of the Dragon Plane, a consortium and several towers would be more than enough to deal with it. But if there really was another plane that also had the ability to fight across planes and was spying on the Dragon Plane, then his mission would have to be upgraded again. Perhaps what he would have to face next would be a war between two worlds of different levels of civilization.

"Recover a level of strength, inherit knowledge, and exterminate the dragon organization …" Adam silently placed the most pressing matters on his agenda. His previously unhurried mission progress was no longer suitable for the current situation. He knew he had to make the best use of his time.

Five days later, Adam returned to the free city. At this moment, the Devil informed him of a good news. "Master, Canbi has returned."
