Chapter 180 The Flash Fades
It's not one update, it's two chapters combined.
Selina picked up the ore and was about to go out to find someone to identify it. Before leaving the tent, she seemed to remember something and called Aragorn over: "Aragorn, go and help me do something."
"What's up?"
"Go and ask those people at Bloody Horn what happened on Fire Feather Mountain. Remember, no matter what method you use, you must ask me word for word. If they miss a word, you know There are consequences, right?”
"..." Aragorn looked depressed. Isn't this just torture to extract a confession? There is no need to say it so obscurely...
But this was exactly what he wanted, and he had already had a problem with Sandro.
"And you, Hank." After assigning Aragorn, Salina called Hank over again: "You stay in the camp. If the Blood Horn comes to ask for people, you can hold them back first. Let’s talk about it after I get back.”
"Yes, Captain Salina."
After distributing the matters in a few words, Salina took the ore and left the camp.
It lasted an hour, and it was almost dusk when Hank saw Salina return to the camp.
After returning to the camp, the first thing Salina did was to call Aragorn.
"Aragorn. Did you ask anything?"
"Yes. Captain Salina. They said everything."
"Yes." Salina nodded. Signaling Aragorn to continue.
"This is actually a coincidence..." Aragorn used this sentence to start his remarks. Then he slowly talked about the news he had learned in the past hour.
It's exactly what he said. The whole thing was a coincidence.
If those people in the Blood Horn don't explain. I am afraid that even the forest on the ground on Huoyu Mountain would not have thought of it. Things actually happened like this...
At the beginning, Sandro and others actually just received orders from their superiors to go to Fire Feather Mountain to perform a mission, but when they passed by the woods, they went to Huoyu Mountain. But he accidentally discovered the existence of the abyssal magic iron vein.
When he said this, Aragorn said casually: "This Sandro was also a miner before."
Of course, with Sandro's knowledge of minerals, he couldn't tell what kind of mineral vein it was.
But things just happen to happen. He once heard a dwarf miner mention that there is a precious magical metal vein that looks like this. Both the ore itself and the surrounding soil will appear a deep dark red.
For adventurers like Sandro, a precious magical mineral vein naturally has unparalleled appeal, which means a lot of money. Perhaps just this vein of minerals would be enough for him to retire from the adventurer industry and live a wealthy life somewhere comfortably. not to mention……
Lin Li and Sheen at that time. Looks so weak.
"This guy is really unjust. When he was interrogated just now, he was still complaining with a depressed look on his face. He thought he was pinching two soft persimmons, but ended up kicking them on the iron plate..." When this matter was mentioned, Aragorn said I couldn't help but want to laugh.
Hank on the side rolled his eyes, wondering what was so strange about this. Sandro was not the only one who was kicked against the iron plate, and he only saw it with his own eyes. There are at least several such unlucky people. Needless to say, the group of bandits in Black Mountain Town were killed by Mr. Sheehan to a bloody river. Recently, Tusadin was the real unlucky one. He thought he could kill everyone in the hotel. Everyone in the crowd was shot to death by Mr. Feyre. It is estimated that he never understood until his death how a crossbow bolt suddenly appeared from the crowd...
Of course, Hank didn't dare to say these words. Being accused by Salina of concealing the truth is a small thing, but angering someone is the real trouble. What if that person knows that she leaked the situation, and then comes back and strings her up with an ice pick?
So Hank kept his mouth shut and listened quietly.
"By the way, Captain Salina." After Aragorn told the story, he remembered something again. He said with some hesitation: "There is one thing that I think is worth noting."
"What's up?"
"I heard from Sandru that when Mr. Ferre dealt with his two companions, it seemed that he did not do it himself. Instead, he detonated some kind of firearm and knocked them unconscious."
"Detonate a firearm?" Salina was slightly stunned at first. Then he showed an expression of disbelief: "You mean... blasting mining?"
"I think it should be like this..." The look on Aragorn's face also looked a little incredible.
Although there are many people who know the technology of blasting mining, few dare to use the land. The reason is very simple. The blasting technology is too difficult to master. Even a slight mistake will result in the destruction of the mine and death of people. Even if Many advanced miners may not dare to use this dangerous technology.
For a moment, both of them were a little confused.
Although they suspected that Mr. Ferre was a high-level miner from the beginning, they still found it a bit unbelievable when they suddenly heard about blasting mining. This was really outrageous. Even the entire Kingdom of France could The total number of miners who use explosive mining technology to mine is probably less than 100, and at least 90 of them have been attracted by major forces, especially the Marathon family, who made their fortune by forging. They have monopolized at least half of them, and have not been attracted by any force so far. I am afraid that the total number of them is not enough for ten fingers...
People with this kind of ability are really in short supply.
Just relying on explosive mining technology can double the efficiency of any mine.
The dwarf kingdom north of the Sunset Mountains has a population of only a few hundred thousand, but it is able to become its own country in this extremely chaotic world of Anriel. What does it rely on? It relies on their superior forging and mining technology.
Among the mining techniques, blasting mining is the most famous.
Why is this happening? It's just because the dwarf kingdom has a goblin vassal.
The goblin clan has an innate talent for this kind of thing, and their research on blasting technology is at the pinnacle of the entire Anriel world. Some of the weapons they produce are even comparable in power. Magician-level spells are said to have existed in the dark ages far away. The goblins once created a weapon that could spray flames from an iron pipe. Facing this weapon, even the shield of the Great Mage level would be easily penetrated. It was a pity. This technology was completely lost after the Dark Ages, so that today the goblins can only seek refuge in the dwarf kingdom.
With the blasting technology of the goblins and the dwarves themselves proficient in forging and mining, these two unique advantages allowed the dwarf kingdom with hundreds of thousands of people to be preserved in the world of Anriel, and at the same time, it could survive war after war. Seeking profits from it, there is gradually a hint of a descendant of the Titans.
It can also be seen from here that he is an advanced miner who knows how to blast and mine. How in demand...
"It seems that our guess was correct. This Mr. Ferre is probably a high-level miner." Salina nodded thoughtfully. He took out the piece of abyss magic iron ore from his pocket and tossed it gently with his hand.
"By the way, Captain Salina, has this ore been identified?"
"Identified it. It turns out that this kind of ore is called Abyss Magic Iron. As long as a little bit is blended into the weapon, the weight can be increased several times. I heard the old guy from Alakir said that this kind of ore is even among the magic metals. It can be regarded as one of the rarest species.
"Mr. Olagir is here too?" Aragorn's expression suddenly froze when he heard this. Who is Olagir? That is the president of the Adventurer's Guild, in charge of all the adventurers in the Kingdom of France. He himself has level 20 strength and is nearly invincible in the Kingdom of France. Except for Odwin, the president of the Magic Guild, there is no one else at all. No one is his opponent.
As an adventurer, Aragorn, how could he not have heard of Alakir?
In fact, in the Kingdom of France. I don’t know how many adventurers chose the profession of adventurer after hearing the story of Alakir.
For most adventurers, this is a figure that only exists in legends, but today, this legendary figure is so close to them. Even if Aragorn is usually calm, at this time He couldn't help but show a bit of excitement.
"Not only is she here, but she's also very lively..." Selina curled her lips. After muttering quietly. Then he showed a serious look again: "The old guy just said that if there is a chance, he wants to meet this young man, so Aragorn, we have to hurry up..."
"Understood." Aragorn nodded.
The meaning of Selina's words could not be clearer.
High-level miners are not something you can encounter casually, especially a high-level miner who knows blasting mining technology and is still free for the time being. This is simply a rare thing.
Who wouldn’t want to win over such a person? Silver Hand wants to win over him, why doesn't the Adventurer's Guild have this idea? As Olagir, even if he said that he wanted to meet this young man if he had the opportunity, the meaning was obviously very clear...
To be honest, compared to the huge Adventurer's Guild, the Silver Hand really has no advantage. Whether it is financial resources, material resources, manpower, force, intelligence or psychology, it is hundreds of miles behind the Adventurer's Guild. They want to win over this person who knows blasting and mining technology. Miners, hope is really slim.
The only advantage of the Silver Hand is that they have access to Mr. Feyre before the Adventurer's Guild...
And this is their only chance.
Before the Adventurer's Guild takes action, drag this Mr. Feyre into the Silver Hand. At that time, with his identity as Olagir, he will be embarrassed to take action, right?
"Captain Salina, what should I do?"
"It's very simple. You just need to remember that from today on, no matter what Mr. Ferre asks for, you should try your best to satisfy him. Remember, never ask why."
"I understand, Captain Salina."
At the same time, Lin Li was groping hard in the cave. He had no idea that a mineral vein he casually exploded had frightened a group leader and a president. There was nothing he could do about it. He had only been in the Anriel world for a few months, and most of his contacts were magicians. He had never met a few miners, so how could he possibly know. How can this primitive and crude technology of blasting and mining hold such a lofty status here?
Moreover……
Even if he knew, there was nothing he could do. This was already the simplest and crudest mining method he knew. Could it be that just to take care of the emotions of a group leader and another group leader, he was forced to do this? None of the methods work. Rather than adopting the most primitive method of digging with a shovel? This makes it impossible for people to live...
If he were told the truth, he would probably yell: "I'm very busy and don't have time to take care of your emotions!"
Yes, he is busy.
Since entering the cave, Lin Li has been busy cursing people and the person who drew the map.
"Damn, he's too cheap..." Lin Li became more and more depressed as he thought about it. This guy was really too cheap. He was obviously as tangled as a spider web in a cave. But it's just marked with a simple green line. Doesn't this lead people into a trap?
As soon as he entered the cave, Lin Li felt something was wrong. The roads in this cave extend in all directions, just like a huge spider web. Lin Li walks among these passages and feels dizzy just looking at them, not to mention how to tell the direction...
After taking Xian around for a few times, he couldn't even recognize the way back. At this time, he was really on the verge of tears. What the hell should he do? Calculating the time, Ranwen Novel Network found that it had been several hours since I came out. If we delay any longer, it will be midnight even if we leave the cave.
This is Fire Feather Mountain, a place where all kinds of powerful magical beasts are rampant. Even walking here during the day is still scary, let alone at night. If you encounter some magical beast that you can't deal with, or simply kick it like Sheen did. He stepped on the air and fell directly into a ravine. Wouldn't that be a big problem?
"I have to find a way to get out..." Lin Li gnashed his teeth and swore as he walked back and forth in the cave. He couldn't continue like this. He just had to do it once.
"Mr. Feyre..." After following Lin Li for another circle, Sheen finally couldn't bear it any longer, and carefully reminded Lin Li behind him: "We seem to have been to this place before..."
"..." When Lin Li heard this, he really wanted to die. When he was in the endless world, he was a famous road-crazy hunter. My sense of direction is terrible. If he hadn't relied on his wealth to get the guiding light from the hands of profiteers. He was afraid that he would have died so long ago that not even a scum was left, so how could he still have a chance to obtain the Wrath of the Stars and kill the Dragon of Destruction?
Now in the Anriel world, my sense of direction is still a mess, and I no longer have an artifact like a guiding light in my hand. How can I get out of this damn cave?
"Mr. Fei Lei..." Just when Lin Li's head was as big as a bucket, Sheen shouted again in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Lin Li was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall, but when Sean called him like this, he suddenly thought that something worse had happened. His face that looked like a bitter gourd suddenly showed an expression that was uglier than crying. .
"It seems like someone..."
"Ah?" Suddenly hearing this, Lin Li suddenly became energetic: "Is there anyone there?"
"Yes, it seems to be coming this way..."
After being reminded by Xian, Lin Li finally heard the sound of footsteps coming from ahead. He immediately became energetic and quickly released a wizard's eye.
"There really is someone..." After recovering from the panic, Lin Li naturally had a much clearer grasp of the surrounding movements than Sheen. After all, one was a thirteenth-level mage and the other was only a tenth-level warrior.
Through the Eye of the Witch, Lin Li could clearly see that someone was coming from ahead.
This man looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing a brand-new leather armor and carrying two axes behind his back. In the dark cave, a kind of blue light was emitted. Lin Li just glanced at it. It has been judged that these are definitely two magic weapons, and they are also the best among magic weapons. Judging from the craftsmanship, the person who built them is probably close to the master level...
This man also has a very distinctive appearance. He is tall and burly, no inferior to Sheen in terms of size. And because he is older, he looks much more powerful than Sheen. He has messy golden hair. With a beard like a steel needle and a tough face that looks like cutting with a knife and an ax, the whole person gives the impression of a tough guy.
Lin Li just glanced at it and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
This person's strength is too strong, he has at least exceeded level 15.
Level 15 characters are no joke. Lin Li has been in Anriel for several months. Apart from a few old monsters, such as Medellin Anduin, he has rarely seen people above level 15, especially the one in front of him. He is young, only in his thirties. For a warrior, this is the real golden age. He still has a lot of time to practice martial arts. In his lifetime, he will have a great chance to break through to the legendary realm.
Coupled with the two magic weapons, I am afraid that even Grean took action. You may not be able to beat him.
To be honest, Lin Li was a little hesitant. He hesitated whether he should ask this person for directions.
This man was so powerful that it made Lin Li feel threatened.
But who knew that just when Lin Li was hesitating, the other party would notice the existence of the two of them first. "Who is he? No need to hide, come out now." The warrior who broke through the fifteenth level, his six senses were so sharp, Lin Li just took a gentle breath. His existence was discovered by the soldiers.
"Good evening, Mr. Warrior, don't worry, we don't mean any harm." His whereabouts have been discovered, and there is no point in hiding in the dark. With the other party's strength, if he is hostile, he is not his opponent at all, so he might as well It would be better to stand up and admit it. Lin Li didn't hesitate at that moment, and walked out of the darkness with a smile on his face. He showed a friendly smile and spread his hands to indicate that he didn't carry any weapons.
"Good evening, you two." The soldier nodded, maintaining the most basic courtesy. After looking at Lin Li, his eyes moved to Xian. This time. There was a little more surprise in his eyes, everyone was a warrior. He could naturally see how talented this young man was.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Feyre, from the Silver Hand Mercenary Group. This is my companion Sheen. I don't know what to call you, Mr. Warrior?"
"Are you from the Silver Hand?" The warrior's angular face showed a little surprise. After looking at Lin Li up and down, his eyes fell on the map in his hand, waiting for him. After clearly seeing the route drawn on the map, the alertness on his face suddenly turned into surprise. He carried the two axes behind his back, stretched out his rough right hand, and shook it with Lin Li enthusiastically: "My name is Andre. Nice to meet you two."
"Do you know this map?" Lin Li was so shrewd. Looking at the changes in the warrior before and after, he knew that it was probably because of this map.
"Yes, I happen to have one in my hand." Andre nodded, taking out a similar map from his pocket, and kept praising: "Your Silver Hand map is really good, damn. With this thing, I have saved myself a lot of unnecessary mistakes in the past two days."
"Haha..." Lin Li twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
This is probably the so-called appearance problem. With the same map, others can save a lot of distance by holding it, but I can only beat the wall in this cave with it. How else can I explain it other than the appearance problem?
"By the way, Brother Feyre, aren't you Silver Hands still stationed at the foot of the mountain? Why did you two come to the mountain?" Andre is indeed a straightforward guy. After identifying their identities, he even changed their names. He patted Lin Li's shoulder enthusiastically and became concerned.
"Captain Salina has assigned us some tasks."
"Is the mission completed? If not, I can give you some help. Speaking of that little girl Salina, I haven't seen her for a while..."
"The mission is completed..." Lin Li scratched his head, showing an embarrassed look on his face: "But we are lost..."
"..." When Andre heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of saliva. He probably never thought that someone could be so powerful and still get lost with a map in hand.
"You can laugh if you want. Anyway, this is not the first time my sense of direction has been laughed at..."
"No, no, Brother Feyre, you misunderstood. I really don't want to laugh at you, but this way of getting lost is just too... too..." Andre really had to work hard not to laugh out loud. .
"..." Lin Li rolled his eyes, thinking that he didn't mean the same thing for a long time...
"It's okay, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Brothers Ferre, follow me, I'll make sure you have time to go back for dinner." As if to make up for his gaffe, Andre patted his chest with emotion and assured.
"Thank you so much, Brother Andre."
"you are welcome……"
Andre was indeed not lying. He had a much better sense of direction than Lin Li. He led the two of them back and forth in the cave a few times, and then saw a bright light coming from a distance.
"Huh..." Seeing that light, Lin Li finally let out a long breath and finally walked out of this damn cave.
After coming out of the cave, Lin Li felt much better and was in the mood to chat with Andre along the way.
The two of them talked and talked about Andre's two weapons.
"Haha, Brother Feyre, you have such a good eye. These two two-handed axes, one is called Flash and the other is Destruction, were both made by your brother Andre and I. When they were first made, even I All the teachers were full of praise..."
