By the time Hope and the others got off the boat, Carl had already made three shawls.

Good fur only requires the simplest sewing, which is what the auntie in the clothing store in Karl's hometown often says.

Although this may just be an excuse she made for herself due to her lack of skills, the furs in her family are indeed high-quality and high-end products. There are even wealthy businessmen from Fairhaven who come to buy them for their wives.

Carl's mother also has two fur coats purchased from her store. Carl once studied the sewing techniques of the coats and now he is putting them to use.

The processed fur of the displacement beast will faintly reveal gorgeous matte patterns, and it is said that these patterns are the origin of the displacement beast's abilities.

Seeing Carl busy here, Hope and others walked over here.

Women have a natural love for beautiful clothes and decorations, just like men's love for guns, sports cars and other items.

Even Nia showed obvious affection for the shawl made of displacement beast fur.

Looking at the shawl handed to her by three iron ants, Nia was about to try it on, but suddenly she saw a lot of material left on the side.

"Just three?"

Reaching out to take the gift prepared by her boyfriend, Nia asked emphatically with a slightly helpless smile.

"Just these three! But there's still some material left."

Without further ado, he stuffed the shawl into the arms of the three men. Carl put away all his attacks, then ostentatiously shook off the remaining fur of the displacement beast, rolled it up very slowly, and stuffed it into his dimensional bag.

Looking at Carl's expression, Mitris gnashed her teeth in anger.

"I just mocked you! You said you'd let bygones be bygones before, why are you holding a grudge again? Damn it! I want it so badly! (Shawl)"

Watching the remaining materials being put into the dimensional bag, Mitris remained calm on the surface, but she began to worry about Carl in her heart.

Perhaps it was because she had spent too much hardship with the Son of Winter during her childhood, but during her life in Akanix, Midris began to gradually indulge her desires in more aspects.

When she and the phantom Cass were helping Nia's father, Cass awakened her interest in clothes in the name of "learning camouflage skills".

This resulted in all the money Mitris earned during that period being spent on buying clothes of various styles.

Not only that, she is also very keen on studying fashion and dressing issues.

When Nia and Carl were dating, it was almost always Mitris who helped Nia dress up.

The chief maid is.

Seeing the hidden look in Mitris's eyes, Carl laughed in his heart, and then tied the opening of the dimensional bag.

"She must have a lot in common with Elder Jinchi who stole the cassock."

With a secret feeling of satisfaction in his heart, Carl got back on board, lowered the anchor, and then controlled the mecha to get off the boat.

With a slightly harsh sound of metal friction, the broken mecha turned back into the appearance of a heavy truck.

"Let's ride it for the rest of the journey. Ah Da, Ah Er, Xiao Ming, the three of you stay on top of the truck and keep on guard while you continue to cast repair spells on it."

Inviting everyone to get on the car, Carl gave the three iron ants another task.

The iron ants happily attached themselves to the roof of the car, then replaced the rune plate cartridges and began to continuously use repair magic on the damaged truck.

Amidst the noisy noise, the heavily loaded trucks slowly drove away from the abandoned town.

…

In the spacious and bright meeting room of the city hall, Joanna and Lisanna sat on the two chairs at the top, looking through the various intelligence on this incident with the representatives of the Dragonmark Family.

Intelligence from multiple investigations has basically reconstructed what happened, but the existence of the Eternal Furnace has touched everyone's nerves.

The headquarters of the twelve dragonmarked families sent a message asking their representatives in Storm Bay to remain on hold.

News came from Aundair, Eludin Fields, Breland, Thrane and even Throne Hold, all of which wanted to form a so-called expeditionary force to attack Riyi Draenor.

Almost all countries and forces have shown a certain greed for the Eternal Furnace.

So, Joanna temporarily blocked all the teleportation arrays and prepared to discuss it inside Storm Bay first.

The situation in Storm Bay certainly cannot sustain the presence of the "Expeditionary Force", which will lead to irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides.

According to the news Joanna received from Kolan Castle, the prince of Sayre had already arrived at Storm Bay on an airship.

He had sent many young and strong men from Sayre to Storm Bay. If he tried to restore his country here, it would be a threat to everyone present.

Joanna rubbed her forehead in distress, feeling a bit headache about the sudden turn of events.

She closed the information in her hand, looked around, and said in a steady voice:

"Everyone should know the current situation. To be honest, Storm Bay will soon become the focus of all forces, and then everyone's interests in Storm Bay will be greatly reduced.

As Joanna started talking, representatives from the Dragon Mark Family also began to discuss.

But they currently have no other options unless they betray their family for their own interests in Storm Bay.

"Ah~, it would be great if the passage to the Air Element Plane in Lonely Mountain could be closed. According to the intelligence, the so-called Eternal Furnace should be located in a special area of ​​the Air Element Plane. I wonder if there is also an Eternal Furnace in the other three elemental planes..."

The upright dwarf sitting in the Kundarak family seat with the dragon pattern on guard spoke first.

However, his words were basically meaningless nonsense and had no effect on the current situation.

But his action of speaking did indeed cause everyone to start talking, and noisy discussions suddenly rang out in the conference hall.

"In my opinion, we can first contact the Druids of Winter and ask them to help check the situation in Lonely Mountain..."

"Someone had already notified you of your suggestion long before the incident broke out!"

"So what should we do now? Wait for the coalition forces to arrive, and then hand over our power to them, and watch them use the town we built with great difficulty to search for the Eternal Furnace, whose authenticity we don't know?"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Joanna wanted to slam the table and ask them to be quiet.

But she knew that her strength was limited, and she was able to sit here only because of the support of Karl, Mooreban and Kolanburg.

Joanna opened her mouth and tried to stop these guys from arguing, but her voice was too weak and no one in the meeting paid any attention to her.

Lisana on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so she slammed the table heavily, trying to get everyone to be quiet.

But just as the sound of banging resounded throughout the conference hall, a clerk from the city hall rushed in from outside.

"Something bad has happened! Lonely Mountain, the anomaly on Lonely Mountain has disappeared! A group of adventurers said that they..."

...Two days ago...

After a difficult journey, Carl and others finally arrived near the Lonely Mountain area.

The closer you are to the core area of ​​Xen'drik, the shorter the distance you travel when jumping, and the easier it is to return to the area you have visited before.

After a day and two nights of forced march, everyone finally saw the black mountain wrapped in the storm.

"Huh~, we're finally here. I've been driving for such a long time, I'm almost exhausted!"

Taking his hands off the steering wheel, Carl really couldn't understand why Thorin liked driving.

Even though he had awakened the power of the Time Machine Soul and had a wonderful connection with the machines, he still hated this kind of repetitive work and felt like he was frozen.

"Okay, I know you've worked hard! I'll reward you before you go to bed tonight..."

Seeing Carl's exhausted face, Hope came closer with concern and made some promises in Carl's ear.

There was a gleam in Carl's eyes, and he became excited all of a sudden.

'Hey! I'm not a person who seeks enjoyment, I just want to comfort Hope a little more! Yeah! Yes, that's it! '

Excusing his recent change in his heart, Carl put his arm around Hope's shoulders and kissed her on the cheek.

"Alright! Stop being bored for now! Check out the situation around Lonely Mountain! Maybe the people from Ruiyi Draenor are lying in ambush nearby!"

Hope angrily pushed away the unruly Carl, picked up his two chainsaws, opened the car door and got out.

However, before she got out of the car, Carl had already controlled three iron ants to roughly check the surrounding area.

It seems that Ruiyizhuo's troops have not officially arrived near Lonely Mountain yet. It is not known whether they are lost or have other plans.

"Strange, judging from the memory I got before, Ruiyi Dra should attach great importance to the existence of the Eternal Furnace. Why are there no people from their team here? Could it be that they really plan to destroy Storm Bay before coming here to explore? What kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder patient is this?"

Feeling the news sent back by the Iron Ants, Carl followed Hope out of the car while being on guard against possible sneak attacks at any time.

Thoughts flashed through my mind at a speed far faster than usual, and I was shrouded in a mood of "do it big and disperse early".

Nia and others got out of the car soon after. Mitris used her druid ability to find small animals nearby, and through communication and some food, she developed them into her subordinates to help gather information.

However, the intelligence of these wild animals is really limited. Based on past experience, Carl feels that those guys can only bring back some unimportant news at most.

"I think there should be no danger around here. The changes in Lonely Mountain have caused all the dangerous creatures around here to run away. Look, even hares and sika deer can graze and wander around in places like this."

Pointing at the animals on the nearby grass that looked delicious, Carl raised his hand and fired a pulse cannon, directly hitting a male deer with thick antlers.

He licked his lips, walked forward, collected the deer blood and antlers, and prepared to make some druid herbs for himself later.

The side effects of his distorted mind have made him more keen on nourishing his body recently. Although he seems to be unaffected at the moment, which man would dislike being too strong?
