"Found it?" Snow asked, looking at Alina, who was delighted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Well, and the magic stone is not very deeply buried, so it is relatively easy to dig." Alina nodded, "It's about the same as expected, and with us on foot, it will take about a day. ”

"It does require some overnight preparation." Snow said worriedly.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about safety, there are not many beasts on this road, I can handle it." Alina said.

"However, your injuries have not yet recovered."

"I'm much better, and this injury doesn't affect my magic." Alina moved her arm, "Besides, my injuries affect my arms the most, and my feet are still very fast. ”

"Okay, then you have a good night's rest, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." Snow can't deny that Alina is the best umbrella to enter the mountains and forests, and with her, the chance of casualties is very small.

Walking out of Alina's room, Snow gathers Mandathan's patrol team, announces the mission of going into the mountains to dig for magic stones, and prepares the patrol to spend the night in the mountains. This is the first time to mine magic stones, which belongs to pathfinding, and there are not many people. Although Mandason and the others had some doubts, they had completely changed from trusting Snow to trusting Snow with a slight blindness. No matter what orders Snow gives, they will carry them out unconditionally.

Of course, this does not include Comts, who has just become a patrol team.

"I said Mayor, what do you want those magic stones for?" Kontz was also a well-informed person, and after the big guys went separately to prepare, he quietly came to Snow's side and asked curiously.

"Make gunpowder." Snow waved his hand to interrupt Kantz, who was about to ask, and said: "Gunpowder is a thing that can release flames, which can be used to make muskets, and muskets are weapons that can use gunpowder to shoot iron balls, which is very powerful. You may not be able to understand these things now, but you will know them when they are all made. ”

Snow sent Kantz away with two or three sentences, and went back to his room to prepare a few thick blankets, daggers, flints, ropes, and other necessary things. After everything was cleaned up, I took off my coat and got into the futon to rest.

Early the next morning, Snow and Alina walked out of Rook Town with ten members of the patrol and headed for the Endless Forest. With Elena leading the way, everyone went straight to their destination. There was only one break along the way, and the few small beasts they encountered fled under Mandathan's bow and arrows, but Alina was able to save the shot.

Before sunset, everyone rushed to the area where the magic stone mine was located. Snow smelled a pungent smell from afar, and it seemed that some parts of the sulphur mine were leaking into the air. Beckoning everyone to take out the face towels that have been prepared long ago, take them on, and wave their hands forward.

After Snow's exploration, this sulfur mine was not as large as he expected, but it was enough for the town of Rook. After selecting the initial mining area, Snow led the people to find a flat upwind outlet outside the scope of the sulfur mine, and with an order, Mandasen and others began to cut down trees to build simple wooden houses. Spending the night in the mountains and forests was pediatric for Mandason.

In less than half an hour, a simple wooden house for four people was built. Because it was a temporary place of residence, it was dark again, so Snow did not let Mandason and the others go to find water. The crowd lit two bonfires and began to eat dinner.

At the same time, at the edge of the endless mountain forest north of the city, several larger bonfires were burning. Dozens of soldiers in armor and spears scattered vigilantly, while a dozen archers hid in the surrounding trees, watching every move around them.

In front of a campfire, Trevis was chatting with a chief knight in black and white armor. This is the personal guard personally selected by the old king for the Seven Princes, and he is extremely loyal to the Seven Princes.

Not far away, beside the campfire in Lingyi, Messeren, dressed in the prince's costume, was smiling and talking to a teenager. This young man is very handsome, and the dark brown half-curly hair characteristic of the royal family of the Riva Kingdom, as well as the jeweled eyes that are the same as those of Messeron at the touch, indicate his identity, the Seventh Prince Edja, among the many princes, he is the only brother of Messeren.

According to the old hunter, snow foxes generally move between the early morning and early morning, and in order not to miss the best time to hunt, the Seven Princes led the guards to rush to the mountains and forests in advance. Worried about Adya's safety, Messeron followed him with Tehuasu and several knights.

"Big brother, when did you say that little snow foxes were usually born?" Adya's voice is very good. In front of outsiders, Adya calls Messeron the fourth brother. But when the two are alone, Adya always calls him Big Brother.

"I don't know about this, maybe it's the same as us humans, when we were born." Messeron said with a smile.

"Oh." Edya nodded slightly, looked at the bonfire in front of him, his eyes reflected orange brilliance, and muttered, "I really wish I could meet a little snow fox less than a month old, so my father's condition will improve." ”

"What a fool, and I don't know what my father likes about him." Messeron sneered in his heart, for his own brother, he loved far more than he was jealous. Ever since Adeya was born, the king has been unusually fond of him. When he grew up, he became a knowledgeable prince who knew etiquette. The king had mentioned it more than once in front of other princes, so that everyone could learn more from Adya. This is also the main reason why the other princes hate Adya.

And Messeron had already begun preparations to assassinate Adya a few years earlier, and then blame him on his main rival. Everyone knows that Adya is his own brother, and the two have a good relationship. If Adya was killed, no one would suspect that it would be on Mercerlon's head.

"Maybe, you're sincere, and God will see it." Picking up the small iron pot on the flame, Merthren poured out two glasses of wine, one for himself and the other for Adya.

"Big brother, you know I drink." Adya said.

"Let's have a drink, just accompany your eldest brother and me." "Besides, it's too cold in this mountain forest, drink some warmth and get a good night's sleep," said Messeron. ”

"Okay." Edya picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Then I'll accompany my eldest brother to drink a few glasses, but neither of us brothers can drink too much." ”

"Of course, big brother respects you." Messeron smiled and took a sip of his head. This glass of wine was in Messeron's heart, and it was a send-off for Adya.
