Act 45 Silver Mine(6)

The early morning in Grahal Mountain is opened by a light purple and blue background color faintly tinged with sky white from east to west - after the stars gradually disappear into the white curtain, the forest on the mountain top is like this A unique silhouette is formed in the dim light.

But the time in the mining area was even earlier, and it was still dark, so there was a sound of wooden whistles.

The flickering light of the oil lamp dragged out a deep black shadow on the ground. Brando, like everyone else, was called out of the camp - in the cold air in the forest before dawn - he looked at the things in his hands with some confusion. At a loss.

It was a pickaxe. Its rough wooden handle was nearly four feet long. It had probably gone through many owners. The surface had been rubbed smooth by use, without a single protruding burr. The tip of the dark gray pickaxe was also a bit blunt. .

But this is not the key. What made him sigh was that he never thought that he would be a miner again one day. Anyone who has experienced the prehistoric era of online games will often have a sense of affinity for mining in their ignorant memories of that era, and Brando is no exception.

He has also been a miner in the game for a long time, working day and night in the dark mines to mine, select ore, and then sell the high-quality ore to the market.

It seems boring now, but at that time it was a source of endless fun and motivation, because watching the money earned step by step equip one's character to become stronger, and it was full of spiritual satisfaction.

Although this is only an achievement gained in the virtual world.

Brando weighed the pickaxe and couldn't help but laugh at himself for a moment. However, he raised his head and carefully distinguished the figures in the crowd in the distance - he quickly found the presence of Jutta, Akane and Medisa from a few familiar figures. They had obviously seen him in the forest at night. The marks left behind were now disguised as miners and mixed in with the workers.

They wore turbans, which is not uncommon among mountain people, but the dirty clothes they wore were bought by Brando from those teenagers. The other party had a lot of connections here and provided him with great benefits. of convenience.

But the biggest gain was the news he got from the frail young man named Ke Wen - the rumor that the Saffrond Mine was connected to the underground world; when he heard what the other party said, he had a vague idea in his mind. , and finally connected this idea with his plan afterwards.

Whether this plan will succeed or not depends on today's actual situation.

Even Brando himself didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

But when he was thinking about these issues, he felt someone elbow him from behind.

He turned around alertly, only to find it was Joka.

It turned out that the young man saw him dazed here and ran over to remind him:

"Be careful, go inside as soon as you get the tools. If you are late, you will be whipped." The young man walked past him and whispered.

Brando first felt if his money bag was still on him, and then he turned around and saw the frail young man on the other side nodding to him from a distance. Apparently, the other party asked Qiaoka to remind him. of.

After spending a short time together yesterday, these teenagers were no longer as wary of him as before, but Ke Wen was willing to help him, obviously out of gratitude.

Brando felt that the other party was actually unwilling to owe him a favor and have anything to do with him. This was within his expectation, but he did not expect that this weak young man seemed to have a high status among this group of people.

He thought for a moment and turned around to follow quickly, while asking in a low voice: "Where should I go?"

Qiaoka now knew that Brando came here just as a pretense, so he was not surprised by his question. He just whispered: "Since you don't know, just come with us. I know where there are more mines."

"grateful."

"This is not a free service." The young man turned around and rubbed his fingers at him seriously, "Are you rich?"

"Natural." Brando smiled slightly.

After the two entered the mine, the light naturally became soft and dim. After humans mined the shallow veins of the silver mine in Schavlund, they dug several deep wells deep into the ground to mine the underlying mineral layers.

The mines are criss-crossed under the rock formations of Mount Graha, but only one oil lamp at a very far distance from each other outlines the meanderings with the division of light and shadow.

But Brando and Choka were not the only ones who went deep underground. The workers entered the tunnel from several main entrances and quickly dispersed. He looked around, and when his eyes swept in a certain direction, he saw Yuta, Medissa and Akane blending into the crowd silently. He felt a little relieved in his heart, and then he withdrew his gaze and followed Qiao in front without saying a word. Card moves forward.

The place Joka was talking about was far from the ground, but it was not the deepest part of the mine. According to Ke Wen, the deepest part of the mine goes deep into the ground and is connected to Jogendigang; however, according to Brando's idea, it may also be connected to the top layer of Jogendigang, the so-called 'Big Beehive'.

The paths there extend in all directions, and once you get lost in them, it is difficult to find your way out. This is also one of the biggest barriers between Qiaogendigang and the ground world. What's more, the Big Beehive itself is also a place of right and wrong. It is the habitat of many monsters, and it is not a stable and peaceful place.

It's just that most of the mine's operating areas are concentrated in the middle and upper levels. After Brando and Choka took a simple elevator deep underground, they only advanced along the low mine tunnel for about ten minutes before arriving at their working area.

But as soon as they went deep into the ground, what happened next surprised Joka who was walking in front.

The young man originally thought that Brando would not be used to the low and depressing environment in the mine. In fact, he was ready to slow down so that the other party could keep up. The underground tunnels here are not as spacious as the upper floors. , if you are not careful, you will get a bloody head.

But the reality was not at all what he imagined. Brando seemed to be like a fish in water as soon as he came here. The young man walked forward as if on smooth ground, even using some of the techniques he used while walking that were more proficient than himself, and there were even some techniques that even Choka had never heard of.

The young man was almost stunned. What kind of novices were there? In his opinion, the old miners who had been working in this industry for decades were nothing more than that.

And the two of them moved forward, taking no more than half the time as usual. In the end, even Qiaoka didn't know how he kept up with each other; it was so hot underground that he couldn't help but wipe it wetly when he stopped. Sweating and panting like an ox.

Qiao Ka never thought that he would be out of breath chasing someone down here. He hadn't felt this way for a long time since he was no longer an apprentice.

Then Brando lit the light source.

The air is already quite thin down here, so it is naturally impossible to use an open flame. Brando took out fluorescent crystals for lighting - in order to save costs, the mine uses the worst kind of crystal, and there are only a few available on the market. It's just copper - the light of the crystal is so dim that it can almost be described as bad, not even as good as a weak candlelight, but the light gray halo still depicts the uneven shadows of the surrounding stone walls.

But I have to say that the place chosen by Qiaoka and the others is good. The rock is coated with a light purple color. This is naturally not the color of the silver ore itself. Brando guessed that the rock may contain some kind of magical ore. .

This is not uncommon. There are often various magical associated mines in the mineral veins of Warnd. Judging from Brando's rich experience, there should be a rich ore layer behind this layer of rock. The quality of the ore here will be quite good, and there may even be some high-value associated ores.

As an old miner with more than ten years of mining experience, Brando naturally does not doubt his vision.

At this time, he heard a set of footsteps coming from behind. When he turned around, he found that it was Ke Wen and Maher. The other party was obviously surprised when they saw them: "Joka, are you so fast?"

Qiaoka glanced at Brando while panting, and nodded to his companion.

"You chose this place well." Brando said, looking at these teenagers and then at the rock wall.

"Hmph," Maher snorted softly: "Can you tell?"

"The light purple rock shows that there is cold iron in the mineral layer. This is a rare associated mineral." Brando looked at the sloping textures on the rock formation and asked casually: "Have you ever dug twill quartz here? ?”

"Twill quartz?" Maher was stunned: "What the hell is that?"

"Also called light blue crystal." Brando replied.

"Isn't that a pseudo-crystal? How could there be something like that in a silver mine?" Maher shook his head disdainfully: "If you're looking for that, you've come to the wrong place."

But Brando shook his head.

Twill quartz is not quartz, but a micro-magic ore that can produce moonlight effect, so it can also be said to be a type of moonstone; this kind of ore is widely found in major mineral veins, although inferior Twill Quartz is worthless. value, but the top one is called the magic eye gem, which is usually used as the most important magic storage part in making magic rings.

Twill quartz in silver mines is usually of low quality, but it is an associated ore of cold iron. Brando looked at the shining rock wall and said, "Then you are digging in the wrong direction. If you dig in this direction, you might see cold iron ore."

Maher and several other teenagers looked at each other, "How do you know, so kindly tell us?" Before yesterday, they would have definitely not believed Brando. But it's different now, and it seems Brando doesn't need to lie to them.

Brando did not lie to them, he was just talking about his experience as an old miner.

"Then how are we going to dig?" This time it was the girl behind Ke Wen who asked.
