The last time the legendary pandaman Xiu Ming came near the iron mine, he opened the portal and sent the fire crested ammonite.

Xiu Ming remembered that at that time, the iron ore could be regarded as a larger viscounty at most, even if it was much inferior to the orc cities in the Hindukr Basin.

However, when he arrived again on February 5, the place had changed dramatically.

First of all, the small lake near the iron mine that falls on the mountain, which has now been renamed Hematite Lake, has now doubled in size along the tributaries of the Luoyue River in the northeast of the lake.

Looking down from the sky, the surface of the lake, which had been completely frozen, had been civilized, and faint traces of the magic circle could be seen at the bottom of the entire lake.

The surface of the lake is on the side of the mountain, that is, the original waters of the Red Iron Lake, which are much deeper than before, at least more than 100 meters, compared to the new waters, which are slightly shallower, but the shallowest depth is also 6 or 7 meters.

Further northeast will be incorporated into the area of the Red Iron Lake in the future, extending nearly 30 kilometers along the tributary of the Luoyue River to the West 7 Castle, which is a large construction site, and a team is in full swing in the construction, excavation, and wall construction on the gridded land.

Even about 30 kilometers to the northeast has been fenced off, and it seems that it is a rather long-term plan for a man-made lake.

In addition to the new lake area, the iron ore itself has also undergone great changes, along the shore of the lake to build a number of urban areas, the most distinctive of these new urban areas is the coastal houses, each of which has a considerable area extending into the lake, like a small dock, these coastal houses are also specially adapted to the needs of the sea beasts, and a large number of platforms are set up on the roof of the building to facilitate their sunbathing.

In addition to the flooded houses, the original central road of several urban areas has been changed into a river, the houses on both sides are connected by stone bridges on the second and third floors, and the houses below the first floor are completely immersed in water, forming a three-dimensional building that runs through the water and underwater, and these urban areas are undoubtedly for the finless porpoise and mermaid people.

Standing on the top of the hill by the lake, the panda man smiled at the Rand beside him and said: "It seems that Rand you are really confident in yourself, this is designed according to tens of thousands of residents, you are not ready to move the sea beasts and finless porpoise tribes in the two places of Galloping Horse Lake and Luoyue Lake, right?" ”

"Don't say it, that's what I thought," Rand said confidently, "and I told the leader of Zoya that if they were interested, they could also migrate some of them." ”

Rand's plan aroused the interest of the panda people: "Your Majesty Rand, will your people be able to accept it?" ”

"They don't have any opinions, even if there are 10,000 residents living on the surface and underwater, it will not affect human beings, on the contrary, the magic algae and underwater monsters they breed throughout the lake can provide a more adequate supply for the city."

Rand pointed to the mountain range at his feet and said, "The mountain you see has been renamed Hot Spring Mountain, and I am going to change the name of the iron mine to Hot Spring City, which will become the common home of finless porpoises, sea beasts, mermaids and humans, and the lake around the city will never be frozen." ”

Regarding the name of the city, Rand chose between Tieling, Wendu Water City, Baoshan, and Chifeng for a long time, and finally decided that the whole local could understand.

"The lake will not freeze...... Panda Man whispered, and in an instant he understood that Rand had already mastered the underwater magic furnace, "Congratulations, after all, you have figured out the secret of that snail shell, and it seems that this lake will become a prosperous and abundant water." ”

Rand invited the Legendary Pandaren over today, not only to announce the new city plan, but also to announce his plans to the most important institutions in the Empire.

About 2 hours later, Louis Shendu, the headmaster of the Imperial Capital School of Magic and Magic, and the chief legend of the Tower of Innity, Crane, arrived at the observation room around the underwater magic furnace room with Rand and the pandaren.

Rand pointed to the flame shell in the window, which was emitting a red glow, and said to the three Legends:

"Excellencies, as you can see, under the guidance of His Majesty Willy, I have completed the first underwater magic furnace that can transmit magic to bodies of water," Rand introduced, "Therefore, I have decided to expand the area of the lake near Hot Springs Mountain, and make it a city where the terrestrial and underwater races live together. ”

"Build a city like this in the Empire......" Louis God muttered.

"Yes, the Sea Beast Clan and the Finless Porpoise Clan are originally inhabitants of the plains, and of course the city I build must take into account their residence." Rand didn't explain too much, but continued, "Not only that, but I want to establish a Hot Spring Mountain branch of the Galloping Horse Academy, where we can explore water magic, freshwater magic algae, and the medical treatment of the underwater race,"

"Hmm," Panda nodded, "Don't worry, the Red Dragon Rock will send His Excellency Klock Dragons over to teach water magic here." ”

Hearing that a demigod dragon would enter the Galloping Horse Plain, Klein couldn't help but say, "I thought that the Red Dragon Rock would appoint His Excellency Revendia to be stationed in the Galloping Horse Plain!" ”

Louis said in a strange manner: "Maybe Lord Klock misses Gleia too much. ”

Xiu Ming's words caused the dissatisfaction of Crane and Louis at the same time, and the legends of the imperial capital all hoped that the dragon clan inside the Red Dragon Rock would stay in the dragon kingdom and involve as little imperial affairs as possible.

"That'...... Is it a mermaid? Crane suddenly saw through the window Bebon, who had recovered and entered the underwater magic furnace to study.

"Looks like it......" Louis was about to say a few cool words when he noticed more and more merfolk entering the magic furnace from the entrances in all directions, rotating around the snail shells, hanging transparent magic pattern breeding tanks nearby, and even mermaids releasing some small freshwater fish.

Looking at the magic furnace room from the observation room, the snail shell in the room is like a huge column, and the mermaid and magic algae surrounding it are like schools of fish, and there is an aquarium illusion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the experiments we are conducting around the Underwater Magic Furnace, mainly to test the effects of high concentrations of magic power on magic plants and magic fish." "In the future, if the conditions are right, I hope to build a larger underwater farm on the east side of the hot spring lake. ”

"These merfolk of yours...... It must not have been sent by the sea god, right? Louis couldn't help but say it, he had never seen a war between Rand and merfolk before, so it was hard to imagine that so many merfolk appeared in the inland lake, and they didn't seem to be in conflict with the freshwater people.

Klein also glanced at Xiu Ming, and also asked, "Lante, don't you think that your group of subordinates are a bit dazzling?" ”

"Your Excellency, I have to raise something in this big vat, right?" Rand joked, "If it weren't for the high cost, I'd really like to have a sea tank here!" ”
