Chapter 0448: The Collapsed Sinkhole in the Buried Bone Land (First Update)
September 21.
Nine days have passed since Levi's got married.
After extracting all the dragon magic on Dark Horse Island, Liszt returned to Flower Town by boat, preparing to live a leisurely life in Flower Town.
It was more about preparing for the upcoming Pioneer Order, which was to be formally discussed shortly after the Earl's birthday to attend a meeting of the Grand Duke's followers at the court.
War is approaching.
Liszt, who had already decided to go to war for the second time, was not nervous, only excited. Excited about the upcoming feats, excited about setting foot in a new country, and excited about the plundering of population and resources. It is hard to imagine that a once peace-loving self could become a part of the war-hungry one.
Probably also scared of poverty.
Shortly after returning to Flower Town, a knight from Tulip Fort galloped in and delivered a package. The package was sent from Red Crab Island, and it contained several piano scores—Mei Opal gave Liszt the piano sheet music he had treasured for many years, and there was also a copy of his piano playing experience inside.
When you get the piano tabs.
The smoke mission also changed immediately.
"The mission has changed. ”
As expected, the Smoke Quest will automatically change after receiving the reward in advance.
The new snake content quickly condensed: "Mission: Artest, a brick factory craftsman, has revealed the clues of the quartz mine, allowing you to see the dawn of making glass, please find out how the quartz mine makes glass, and make an ordinary glass product." Reward: Collapsed sinkhole. ”
"Collapsed sinkhole?"
"What kind of reward is this?"
Liszt looked at the reward content of the Smoke Snake Script, which was very incomprehensible, and it looked like it was about to collapse in a corner of the territory, revealing a sinkhole.
Speaking of sinkholes.
There are many sinkholes on Earth, and they are often very mysterious. Liszt watched a documentary in which he talked about the formation of sinkholes, which are generally related to underground rivers, which in karst areas continue to erode the surface to form karst caves, and after the roof of the cave collapses many times, sinkholes are formed.
"Flower Town doesn't seem to have anything to do with karst landforms, and Black Horse Island has nothing to do with karst landforms...... "Liszt's geographical knowledge is not good, he only knows that karst landforms are also called karst landforms, which are linked to karst caves, underground rivers, stone stalactites, and sinkholes.
However, these landforms are not reflected in Coral Island and Black Horse Island.
So he couldn't figure out how this collapsed sinkhole would appear in his territory, so he could only wait first. Fortunately, the wait was not long, and the Thorn Caravan had already brought a large number of yellow-and-white stones from the outside - these stones came from Snake Spear City, Viscount Younas's territory.
There is a low hill around Snake Spear City, which is full of this kind of stone.
Whether it's quartz ore or not, you can find out when you try it.
Liszt happened to be idle, so he followed the ship to the Black Horse Island again, and observed the craftsmen of the brick factory in the fire dragon brick factory, burning the stones. In the field of vision of the Eye of Magic, the little fire dragon of magic power continued to wash over the stone, quickly scorching away the impurities in the stone.
Then the rest of the body begins to soften and melt, eventually forming lumps of liquid like sunlight.
It is not accurate to say that the liquid is only a soft semi-fluid, like a piece of plasticine.
"When the temperature is not high, the stone just softens, then melts, and finally becomes a real liquid. "But liquids aren't suitable for blowing glass, so we start blowing when it's fluffy." ”
They have made use of volcanic glass, and they have worked hard to blow glass.
Seeing that the stone was melted into a fire, he immediately picked out these semi-fluids, inserted them into the iron pipe, and began to blow. Even with special heat-resistant animal skin gloves, kneaded on a glass solution that is still a ball of fire - a world full of magic, many materials have special properties.
The gloves issued by Liszt to the craftsmen were made of the skin of a kind of Demonic Beast, which could withstand hundreds of degrees of heat.
Originally, it was used to prevent burns when burning bricks, but now it is used to make glass.
As the craftsman kneaded and kneaded, a fire that was originally blown like a ball gradually turned into a cylindrical jar. Blowing the wind and cooling it down with a blast skin, a glass jar with some colored textures was born—not pure, but very clear.
"Sure enough, this ore is quartz, which can make glass...... The quality is not very high, and the process and raw materials need to be improved urgently. ”
The thickness of the glass jar is uneven, the shape is asymmetrical, the color is very messy, and even the hardness cannot be guaranteed.
Liszt was just playing with it for a while, and then he accidentally broke the glass jar, probably because of the uneven distribution of stress during cooling.
Anyway.
Glass has been born in his hands, and its exquisite beauty will surely set off a trend in this world, and it will be a constant source of wealth for the territory—but before the glass can be sold to the outside world, the craftsmanship must be improved and the workers must be trained in large quantities.
The process of making a finished glass product is very cumbersome, and relying on the craftsmen of the fire dragon brick factory is seriously insufficient.
Just as he was about to blow a decent glass himself, the knight hurriedly came to report: "My lord, there was an accident in the place where the bones were buried, when the serfs were stacking the volcanic glass ore, the ground in the center of the five big bones suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge hole in the ground. Four serfs had already fallen into their burrows. ”
"Holes?"
Liszt had to interrupt the idea of blowing the glass himself and go to the place where the bones were buried. He had understood that this was the reward for the Smoke mission - the collapse of the sinkhole.
Along the way, call out the smoke quest: "Complete the quest and be rewarded for collapsing the sinkhole." ”
This is followed by the release of a new task.
"Mission: The collapse of the sinkhole has exposed the roots of the five resuscitation keels, and it seems that something is brewing, and as a member of the Magic Goat family, Virginia Truth may have the clues you need. Reward: A spark of mana. ”
"The collapse of the sinkhole exposes the roots of the five keels, and it seems that this is another part of a series of missions about the fire dragon. Virginia Truth ...... I'll ask her later. But what is this reward, a spark of magic, what does it mean, or something?"
Between thoughts.
We have come to the place where bones are buried.
At this time, many people gathered around the five dragon bones, pointing and pointing. Seeing Liszt's arrival, the officials who were in charge of the work on the scene immediately dispersed the serfs and greeted Liszt.
"What's the matter, what's under the cave?, have the fallen serfs been rescued?" asked Liszt as he walked.
"My lord, four serfs fell, three died, and only Sean was still alive. But his leg was broken and he lay in a pile of stones under the hole in the ground. We are looking for the rope and are ready to rescue him, as for what is down there, it is not clear, the hole in the ground is dark. ”
Soon.
Walking to the edge of the collapsed sinkhole, Liszt looked carefully, and the entrance to the cave was not large, at most a hundred square meters in a circle.
Stepping on the edge of the hole, he stretched out his head to look down, and the darkness was too dark to see, and he could only hear the moaning of the serf Sean with a cry below.
