Chapter 769 The Dwarf's Reward

Based on previous research experience, Joan was convinced that the magical imprint of "Fear Aura" must have many similarities with the magic configuration of the third-ring "Fear Art".

Considering that the "fear aura" is stronger than the "fear technique" in terms of range of influence and duration, if "fear technique" is used as a reference, then the magic power level of the "fear aura" is at least equivalent to a 4th-level spell, or even It is possible to be higher.

Of course, these speculations are all based on the unique individual of the chief frost lizard.

For other monsters, even if they also have "fear aura", their magic power level may not be equivalent to a 4th-level spell.

Audrey and her party of five wandered around the mine for four or five hours, until the "cold barrier" was about to expire, and then turned back.

This attack was fruitful.

The remaining frost lizards in the mine were basically wiped out.

From now on, the dwarves can explore the mine without hindrance.

When everyone returned to the refuge hut, Joan had completed the anatomical study of the frost lizard patriarch, and the corpse had been made into a specimen and put into a backpack.

The task of this trip was completed, everyone relieved the pressure, and felt very comfortable. They boiled water and made tea in the hut, and while resting, they drank tea and chatted.

Now that the Frost Lizard Clan has been exterminated, everyone's topic naturally involves the distribution of benefits between Joan's team and the dwarf prospecting team.

Hailaer is not a person who is shy about talking about money, so he couldn't wait to shout.

"Uncle Klein! What we promised you has been done, now it's your turn to show your sincerity!"

"Not much nonsense, how much money can we get from this blue ice mine?"

"Little girl, don't be impatient. Uncle will never treat you badly. As for the rights and interests of the mine, let me start from the beginning."

The team formed by Klein is only responsible for prospecting ore veins, and will not dig and operate the mine himself.

According to the contract he signed with the Midgard Colonial Company, after the Klein team discovered the ore veins, the first thing to do was to prove the reserves.

Then estimate the total value of the mine based on the reserves, and then estimate the approximate value of the mining rights based on the total value of the mine.

Next, Klein had to sell the mining rights to the mining group under the Colonial Company in accordance with the stipulations in the contract, and received a large amount of cash remuneration.

After the team dividends, go to explore new veins.

This transaction process sounds simple, but it is actually quite complicated.

The most complicated link is how to properly price the mining rights of a mine.

"Mining right" is essentially an "option".

If mining rights are priced according to the general option model, the calculation is quite complicated!

After all, the mining industry is different from the financial industry. Most of the dwarf brothers who work in this industry hate dealing with complex mathematical formulas.

In order to reduce the difficulty of calculating the value of mining rights, the mineral mining industry in Newland has followed a conventional empirical formula for many years:

The discounted price of the mining right of a mine is roughly equivalent to 1/20 of the total value of the proven minerals.

This is very simple to calculate.

The exploration results of Klein's team show that if all the blue ice stored in this vein is mined, the total value will be no less than 2 million Gold Duga.

Joan used the "navigation compass" to check the reserves of the Qingbing vein, and the data obtained were generally consistent with the exploration results of the dwarf prospecting team.

Now that the two parties have reached a consensus on the valuation of the mineral property, the next thing is easy to handle.

Bringing the mineral valuation into the empirical formula, a little calculation shows that the dwarf prospecting team can make a profit of at least 100,000 Gold Duga from selling the mining rights of the Qingbing Mine!

Klein straightforwardly proposed to buy out Joan's team's rights to the Qingbing Mine with 4 pounds of magic crystals.

This offer is absolutely generous, and even Hailar, who is obsessed with money, can't fault it.

On the contrary, Qiao An, who seemed indifferent to fame and fortune on weekdays, put forward an additional condition just as the two sides were about to toast to celebrate the agreement.

"Mr. Klein, I want to dig a piece of green ice and bring it back to school as a material for studying magic and alchemy."

"Of course it's no problem! Brother Qiao An, as long as you can move it, you can take as much as you want!"

The dwarf laughed heartily.

Qiao An was not polite to him, and ran to an open-pit mine, and used the "Mage Nether Palm" as a digging tool to dig out a large piece of green ice.

Weighed the weight, about 600 pounds.

Green ice is as hard as steel, but its density is similar to that of ordinary ice.

A large piece of green ice weighing more than six hundred pounds is really not small.

For the convenience of carrying, Qiao An cast a 3-ring "shrinking technique" on Qingbing.

In a blink of an eye, the huge ice cube shrank to one sixty-fourth of its original volume, turning into a blue cube with a side length of about 7 inches, which could be easily stuffed into a backpack.

While Joan was digging the green ice, Klein cast the "Any Door" continuously and patrolled the mine pit to make sure that there were no frost lizards that slipped through the net.

Everyone left the mine and spent a peaceful night in the dwarven camp.

Early the next morning, Joan and the others had breakfast at the camp. After saying goodbye to Uncle Klein, they were about to end their half-month expedition and teleport back to the camp where they started.

Joan had two "Teleportation" scrolls in his hand.

One was bought by him and his companions, and the other was a loot obtained in the choker lair.

When Joan saw the second scroll, he remembered that there was still a problem to be solved, and he was a little undecided for a while.

Audrey saw that he stopped casting spells and was frowning with the scroll in a daze, so she asked a question with concern.

"Joan, are you worried?"

"I'm thinking about how to settle Gulu properly before leaving the Underdark."

Joan replied softly.

Gulu is enjoying breakfast in the ore pile at the moment. Turning over the stones, I found small animals such as scorpions, centipedes, and poisonous snakes. I grabbed them, stuffed them into my mouth and chewed them, with a look of enjoyment on my face.

Audrey looked back at the choker, with disgust on his face.

"The choker is evil in nature. Keeping him will be a hidden danger sooner or later. It's better to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots."

Audrey lowered her voice and advised.

Her attitude towards Gulu is completely in line with the principle highly respected by paladins, "Eliminate evil and do everything".

Joan was still a little hesitant, and really couldn't bear to kill Gulu who had been following him for many days.

Audrey saw what was on his mind, and her expression turned severe.

"If you don't kill Gulu, but give it freedom, it's tantamount to indulging its evil nature. If someone is killed by Gulu in the future, you yourself will be an indirect accomplice, and you cannot absolve yourself of the blame!"

Joan's expression changed upon hearing this.

Under the influence of Audrey, the balance between rationality and emotion in his heart gradually tilted towards the rational and cold side.
