As the days passed, the time gradually approached the end of the month.

The faintly fluctuating magical elements in the air, even in the Boulder City, which is separated from the polar regions by an entire northern cold zone, can glimpse a colorful aurora at night.

For the people in the Thorn Wasteland, many people have never walked out of here in their lives, and naturally they will not know what the aurora is. Thinking that it was a miracle descended by the gods, the civilians in the city prostrated on the ground one after another, and prayed to the aurora under the leadership of the priest.

Although Jiang Feng wanted to tell these people that they might worship the wrong god, he thought that even if he said this, those people would not listen, so he didn't pay attention to them.

Finally, on the last day of December, Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the wizard tower meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is it time?"

After a week of meditation, the bright point of light in the sea of consciousness was much more condensed than when he had just returned from the stubborn stone town. For wizards, this period of time can be said to be the golden age of cultivation, and I don't know what those wizards in Silver Moon Bay think......

On the other side of Crocodile Island, the week had been relatively peaceful, and the barbarian soldiers seemed to have given up after finding that they could not capture more prisoners.

During this time, eleven tribes regrouped near the remains of the half-elf village and set up camp. The scouts who were originally sent to search for other half-elves deep into the interior of the island gradually lost their new actions. Although scouts from the Samun tribe went to the vicinity of the barbarian garrison every day to reconnoitre, they did not find any valuable information.

Jiang Feng had a hunch that they should be planning something, and it should be related to the upcoming magic tide......

Pushing open the window, Jiang Feng took a deep breath of the cold air outside the window and looked in the direction of Boulder City. Watching the horizon is the wall, and a few black smoke rises, like an unquenchable fire in winter, dispelling the cold in this wasteland.

Outside the Boulder City, a tent was stationed next to the refugee camp, and more than 5,000 mercenaries had been assembled. In order to gather enough of these centaurs in a short period of time, Du Wei offered a high salary. It is precisely for this reason that even when they heard that they were going to go on an expedition to the colonies, these mercenaries did not express their dissatisfaction.

Among these people, there are red-haired people from the southern city-states, and some highlanders from the southeastern highlands, most of them are armed with short weapons such as maces or large knives and axes, although they are not even equipped with unified equipment, but no one dares to ignore the combat effectiveness of these stragglers.

In order to recruit these mercenaries, a total of nearly one million UBS was spent by the Shuttle Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, the batch of weapons ordered by the Antioch Chamber of Commerce last time had already paid one-third of the deposit in advance, otherwise Jiang Feng would really not be able to come up with so much money for a while. Not to mention that his gold has been converted into Stardust Ore, even if it is not converted, in a world where the vast majority of countries are on the silver standard, it is not easy to convert gold into silver coins.

In addition to the mercenaries, there were also conscripted farmers, and according to Jiang Feng's orders, the magistrates of Boulder City issued each of them a musket and trained them according to the standards of the new army. Although the time was short and many people were not in line, they could still do it with simple shooting.

At the very least, they are already not scared away by the gunfire of their teammates.

Standing in front of the window and stopping for a moment, Jiang Feng heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

"Come in."

Makalu, whose right hand was hanging in the air, was about to knock on the door when he heard Jiang Feng's voice, was slightly stunned, pushed the door and walked in.

Walking into the house, Makaru saluted respectfully.

"Master, the time has come."

"I know," Jiang Feng stretched out his right hand, and a flickering flame ignited in his palm, and the flame quickly turned into a cloud of sand again, flying into dust in the wind, looking at the magic element that was being manipulated wantonly, his eyebrows raised slightly with a look of interest, "Just now, I already sensed it." ”

Suddenly, a burst of magical elements poured out from the magnetic poles of the planet, from one side of the magnetic poles to the other in the direction of the magnetic lines. It's like a flood that bursts its banks, eager to soak the earth that has been dry for thousands of years in an instant.

Jiang Feng could clearly feel that this magical tide that swept the world was far more surging than it was in the stubborn stone town, and there were at least ten small secret realms on the entire planet, which opened at this moment.

Feeling this surging magical energy, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if this was the case every day, I was afraid that it would not be impossible for another idealistic civilization to be born on this planet that was the same as the Wizard Continent, or even more advanced than the Wizard Continent...... Of course, this is impossible. Judging by the strength of this magical tide, a week will be over at most. In the future, even if the Jialan Vortex really opens, the concentration of magic elements in this world will indeed increase compared to the past, but it is impossible to exaggerate like this.

After all, this wave of rising tide is only a special case.

Looking at Makalu, Jiang Feng ordered: "Go to the alchemy workshop in Boulder City for me, and the method of activating the portal, I have already told you, I believe you should be able to do it with your experience." ”

"It's easy." Makalu saluted respectfully, but his face did not hide the pride at all, "I will not disappoint you. ”

Jiang Feng nodded: "Then go quickly." ”

For the duration of the Magic Tide, the portal will remain open, even without the continuous input of magic stones.

According to the plan, taking the opportunity of this magic tide, he was ready to transfer 5,000 mercenaries and more than 6,000 immigrants, a total of more than 20,000 people, to Crocodile Island.

After Makalu set off, Jiang Feng didn't stay in the study for long, got up and walked in the direction of the laboratory.

At this moment, in the center of his laboratory, there is a large witchcraft circle, two huge doorposts, standing on both sides of the witchcraft circle.

Silky silver currents moved around the doorposts, and beside the slots filled with magic stones, coiled around passing wires, and finally converged on a chassis about half a man tall.

With both fantastical colors and mechanical aesthetics, the whole installation combines knowledge and science in the field of witchcraft to the extreme, importing spatial coordinates through specialized equipment, locating the location of that subspace in the cracks of space, and finally opening a passage through space through the power of witchcraft.

Found a holographic touch screen, Jiang Feng stretched out his finger and pressed it on the screen, giving an order to the intelligence in his heart.

"Smart brain, start the power of the device, import the coordinates of the small secret realm, and set the number 001."

The screen flickered, splitting into 72 small squares. 43 of the small screens are white, and the rest of the screens are clearly visible.

Before leaving the secret realm, Jiang Feng placed a total of 72 spatial coordinate detectors based on subspace signaling technology, and placed cameras near them. Some of the cameras and detectors were damaged for various reasons, but some were intact.

Before opening the portal, the first thing he needs to make sure is that the other side of the portal is safe......
