Tong Lian took out a glass from the cabinet, wiped it, poured half a glass of wine, and handed it to Du Yueming.

The two clinked glasses and made a crisp sound.

Du Yueming took a big sip, this wine had a fragrant and fragrant aroma, but at the same time, it was also extremely strong, he had never drunk such a strong wine in Yangxi City before. The burning sensation brought by entering the throat was even no less than the flame secret medicine that he had drunk before, and after the stomach, it was hot, and there was a feeling that his stomach gave people a punch, and Du Yueming only felt that the whole person was a little shaky.

"Yes, yes, anyone who can drink double-distilled rum is a good seed. I really appreciate you more and more, just as I admire the two big bags of gold you gave me. Bronze Lian praised.

"What do I need to do if I stay?" Du Yueming shook his head, trying to keep himself awake.

"You have a lot of things to do, so start by helping me collect ore. Tong Lian drank the remaining small half glass of spirits.

This cave was far larger than Du Yueming had imagined, and according to the copper smelter, it was actually an abandoned gem vein, but after his transformation, it became the perfect place for experimentation.

Tong Lian took Du Yueming seven turns and eight turns, and came to the deep part of the cave.

It doesn't seem to have been developed by copper, the entrance is so narrow that only one person is allowed to bend over, the walls of the cave have not been lit up, and the inside is faintly fluorescent.

Tong Lian handed Du Yueming a whale oil lamp and a slender short knife, and said, "This knife is called Ophile Arc Light, you should be able to use it."

The blade of the Orphil arc is dark silver as a whole, and the color is relatively dark, but the narrow blade on the other side is the opposite of bright silver.

There are also highly concentrated fine patterns on the body of the knife, and when the fighting qi is injected, these patterns seem to come to life, shining and jumping, Du Yueming knows that this is not only for the sake of beauty, but also the performance of the high-level alchemy circuit, this short knife is absolutely extraordinary, perhaps better than any alchemy weapon he has used so far.

Du Yueming gently waved the Orfil arc twice, not light or heavy, just the right feel. I don't know if Du Yueming swung the knife too fast, or if it was the special effect that came with this short knife, the silver blade would leave a faint arc light when it slashed through the air. So it seems to be quite fitting for the name of this short knife.

"Good stuff. Du Yueming couldn't help but praise.

"Visionary. Although it is only the work of my youth, and there are many immature things that I made when I looked through the Illustrated Book of Master Ophil, it is undeniable that the craftsmanship and design of this knife are very excellent and advanced. Copper smelter said.

"Are you praising the sword, or are you praising yourself?" Du Yueming asked.

"It's all boastful. By the way, let's talk about your mission. You've got to go inside and get me some good ore. Don't be greedy for what you can take, because there are fire-breathing ants in the burrow, and don't alarm the queen, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Tong Lian patted Du Yueming's shoulder and said.

According to the New Century Encyclopedia, this fire-breathing ant belongs to a first-order demonic beast, which is equivalent to the strength of a human knight squire. This kind of demonic beast is fierce by nature, its mouthparts are like knives, and when it is bitten, even if it has been transformed by fighting spirit, it will not be able to eat much. In addition to the trauma, it can also bring the toxins of fire ants. Moreover, these creatures are social species, so they can be very troublesome to deal with.

"I said, Master, why don't you go in and get it yourself? Mining with your strength should be much easier than mine. ”

"That's the truth. However, I am an alchemist of the mechanical séance, and if I don't use machinery, my combat power is not very strong. If my mechanical clockwork beast could be stuffed in, I would have done it myself, so why would I expect you to stay?

"Okay. Although Du Yueming agreed, he didn't believe the old man's words very much.

The mechanical clockwork beast can't get in?What are you kidding, is your space ring an ornament?

The strength of this copper refining is unfathomable, and he is proficient in all kinds of machinery, no matter what, he will definitely crush Du Yueming. What he said just now was obviously that he didn't want to go in and threw the mess to Du Yueming.

There is definitely something famous in this mine, Du Yueming feels that there is a high probability that copper refining will pit himself.

However, with the protection of the native crystal, he Du Yueming wanted to go in and take a look.

If this old man really killed himself, he would summon the big guy to settle all this directly.

Du Yueming was about to drill into this small hole, but was suddenly stopped by Tong Lian.

"Well, don't panic in yet. Don't move around when you stand here, I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

"How do you feel like you're taking advantage of me?"

Before Du Yueming finished speaking, the copper smelting disappeared in a flash, and he didn't know if he heard the final complaint.

It took him a little while before he returned, pushing his giant clockwork beast.

Tong Lian manually pried open the "mouth of the abyss", pulled out a metal soft limb tentacle, and tied it to Du Yueming's waist. While inspecting Du Yue in detail, he said, "Give you an insurance, and if it doesn't work, shout, I will use the mouth of the abyss to pull you back." ”

Du Yueming was suddenly concerned about his safety, he was a little shocked, but also a little moved. I really didn't expect this copper smelter to be so conscientious.

"Remember not to drop the Ophil arc into it, I'm mainly worried about this, don't throw a knife if you die. "Remember, this knife is only borrowed from you." ”

These two sentences almost made Du Yueming petrified, and he swore that he would never be moved casually again. Ya, most of the people he Du Yueming met were dog thieves? What about the warmth between people?

Come to think of it.

Du Yueming can be regarded as seeing clearly, this copper refining is completely using himself as a worker.

Du Yueming bent down and stepped into the depths of the cave.

After walking for more than ten meters, the entrance of the cave suddenly opened up, and the space inside was far larger than Du Yueming imagined.

Most of the stones that exude a faint brilliance are some ordinary metal ores or some glowstone, which are of little value, and this cave should have been mined, so you have to rummage through the real valuable things yourself.

Now that he came in, Du Yueming still decided to help the copper refining work, after all, now he still needs to send someone to the fence, if he really doesn't do anything, then the copper refining may not treat himself well, although he doesn't seem to be treating himself well now.

The cave ** is very quiet, and only Du Yue's footsteps can be heard.

Du Yueming took advantage of the faint light of the whale oil lamp to explore carefully along the cave wall, and walked forward for a distance of about ten meters, but there was still nothing abnormal, but he found some black stones.

Blackstone, like whale oil, was one of the most important materials in the industrial age, and it was inexpensive and produced in large quantities, and when it burned, it released a large amount of energy steam, which was excellent for powering large steam engines and magic towers. In addition, the waste from burning can also be used to build city walls and pave roads, etc., and Blackstone is simply a perfect industrial raw material, so it is also known as the "cornerstone of industry".

Du Yueming picked up two pieces and received them in the Ring of Sinjid, which is the first harvest of the day, although it may be worth a few silver coins, but it is better than nothing, it is better than going back empty-handed.

The cave was still unusually silent, if it weren't for the previous reminder of the copper smelt, Du Yueming would not have thought that there would be a murderous demonic beast like fire-breathing ants in this cave.
