Chapter Twenty-Four: Mine Missions

After the potion refining was completed, Alan packed his things. A wave of mental fatigue swept over him, making him feel in a trance.

"Goo! Mutter! At the same time, her stomach rang out unseasonably, accompanied by a strong pang of hunger.

Allen, who felt the changes in his body, hurriedly opened the window to check the sky. only to find that the sun was setting, and it was already evening.

The first time I made a potion, because of the unfamiliar techniques and poor tools, it took Alan a whole day to complete.

No wonder he felt dazed and hungry, he hadn't rested and eaten for a day, and all his energy was focused on potion refining.

However, fortunately, the energy was not wasted, and the four finished products were successfully refined, and the safety was guaranteed to a certain extent in the future experience and adventure.

Exhausted, Alan walked out of the room and greeted the bear. Then he called some food to the room and rested after a hasty solution, and he soon fell asleep when he was tired.

He slept until the next morning, when Alan got out of bed.

After a night's sleep, his spirits were much better, and he was completely recovered.

After washing up, Alan called Xiong Da, who lived in the next room, to go downstairs and leave the room and walk out of the restaurant.

After a few days of recuperation, the state is almost adjusted, and Alan decides to take Xiong Da again to pick a few suitable tasks to go out on an adventure.

After all, the speed of improvement by cultivation alone is very slow, and only through actual combat can the spiritual energy in the body be perfected and easier to break through. What's more, people like Allen, who need to upgrade their experience, can't stay still.

And only by going out on adventures can you get all kinds of resource materials. Whether you use it yourself or exchange it, you can use the materials that are useful to yourself.

And the raw materials for the spiritual evolution of Alan and Xiong Da also need to start slowly collecting, and they can't wait until after the second order to find them in a hurry.

They came to the street and bought some supplies such as dry food and water, and then the two of them and the cat came to the mercenary tavern again.

Without hesitation, Alan walked directly to the task counter and asked the staff for the task manual to check it.

In the end, Alan picked two tasks that could be carried out at the same time:

One is the task of cleaning up the monsters in an underground cave suddenly dug by a mine near Blackforest Town, which was issued by the city hall, and the reward is 80 gold coins.

The other is a collection, a task of earth-based first-order demonic beast essence blood, and the reward is 30 gold coins.

Earth-based demonic beasts should be easy to encounter in underground caves, so they were accepted by their lovers and completed together.

After the task selection was completed, Alan directly took himself and Xiong Da's mercenary token and handed it to the staff, and the registration record was exchanged for the task certificate.

After the task was completed, Alan left directly with Xiong Da. Then leave the tavern and head out of town towards the mines.

The mine is located northwest of the town of Heilin and was originally a rocky mountain. Later, iron ore resources were detected in the mountains, and they were developed into mines by Baron Egfa, the owner of Blackforest Town.

Alan's mission is to clean up an underground cave that the miners have inadvertently dug during their excavation, and it is said that there is a small group of monsters led by a leader of a first-order monster.

The people stationed in the mine are ordinary soldiers who can only deal with some ordinary beasts and zero-order demonic beasts, and cannot deal with the demonic beast population in the cave. The lord's immediate guard had other missions that could not be drawn, so the town hall issued a mission in the Mercenary Tavern.

These materials were told to Allen by the staff after accepting the mission, and they were simple mission introductions.

At the same time, this task also requires two mercenaries of the first order or above to perform together, which happened to be picked up by Alan and Xiong Da.

Gradually moving away from the town, the comfortable and comfortable life will be replaced by the wind and food. At the same time, we also have to face crises that may arise at any time, and all kinds of risks.

In the face of these crises and risks, Alan has no fear. After all, he has long made up his mind to become a strong man, and these are the challenges that must be encountered on the road of a strong man.

Out of the town, Alan and Xiong Da headed northwest. There is a path from the mine to the town that is used to transport ore, and the two of them don't have to worry about getting lost along the path.

After walking along the trail for about half an hour, the surrounding vegetation gradually thinned out. The ground was gradually obscured by loess and gravel, and a desolate scene presented to Allen.

In the end, the two stopped in front of a small peak, which was not very high, only about four or five hundred meters. The area is not small, at least Alan can't see the edge at a glance.

The mountain peaks are rocky and steep. The already sparse vegetation in the vicinity is even more difficult to see here, with only a few shrubs and weeds living in the crevices of the rocky cliffs.

It's lifeless, but it's supposed to be off the beaten track.

But the reality is quite the opposite, there are many man-made caves on the barren mountains. Many people in the cave carried bamboo baskets on their backs, going in and out to transport something to the foot of the mountain.

And the whole mountain is enclosed by an artificially built fence. There are also many soldiers armed with weapons to patrol to prevent outsiders from entering.

This barren mountain is officially the location of their mission, Ranshi Mountain, and it is also an important iron ore source in Heilin Town. Because the mountain contains abundant iron ore and is not suitable for vegetation growth, it has formed the barren and sparse vegetation that Allen saw.

The entire mine was the lord's private property, and soldiers patrolled the mine to prevent unscrupulous people from entering the mine.

Alan and Xiong Da had just arrived at the foot of the mountain not far from the distance when they were spotted by a pair of patrolling soldiers.

The pair of soldiers, led by a captain at the head, quickly approached the two men and surrounded them with weapons in hand.

Then the captain stepped forward and shouted at the two of them:

"Who are you! What do you do at the mine? ”

Before Alan could step forward to explain the reason, Xiong Da next to him took the first step to summon the giant ape stick and stared at the surrounding soldiers viciously.

The soldiers were all startled by Xiong Da's fierce appearance and the spirit he summoned, and they all took a few steps back.

In the end, the captain who was the leader calmed down and said to the two:

"What do you want to do? This is the mine of Lord Gefa, and there is no good fruit to eat when there is trouble here! ”

Fortunately, Alan also reacted, and hurriedly said to Xiong Da:

"What are you doing! Don't hurry up and take back the spirit! ”

"Boss, knives." Xiong Da pointed to the weapons in the hands of the soldiers and said.

It turned out that Xiong Da saw that the soldiers were holding weapons to be disadvantageous to the two, so he wanted to fight back.

Allen, who understood the meaning of the bear, said to him:

"It's okay, put away the great ape stick."

"Oh!" Hearing Allen's order, Xiong reluctantly withdrew his spirit, but still stared at the nearby soldiers.

Seeing that the giant ape stick in Xiong Da's hand disappeared, the captain and the ordinary soldier breathed a sigh of relief.

They are just ordinary soldiers in the territory, and their strength is low. Even that captain only has the strength of the fifth level of the zero order, and the others are only the second or third level.

Xiong Da can summon spirits, and he is at least a first-order spirit master. It's not something they can deal with, and if there is a conflict, it's over.

Worried about causing another misunderstanding, Alan hurriedly took out the mission voucher from the mercenary tavern and said to the frightened soldier captain:

"We're here to do the task, this is our credential!" As he spoke, he handed over the task credentials.

Receiving the mission credential from Allen's hand, the captain's face softened a lot.

Then he turned back to the soldier behind him and said:

"You keep patrolling, and I'll take them to the chief."

"Yes!" The soldiers continued their patrol as ordered.

"You two come with me." The captain said another word to Alan and Xiongda, and then led the two of them to the inside of the mine.

As he went deeper into the mine, Alan found that there were still quite a few people here. There are dozens of workers who carry ore from the mine alone, plus the miners and soldiers stationed in the cave, and so on, there are at least three or four hundred people in this mining area.

Soon, Alan and Xiongda were taken to a large camp at the foot of the mountain. On the side of the camp, a neat military tent was erected, which was supposed to be the soldier's quarters.

Sure enough, Alan and the others were taken to one of the largest tents. Then the captain went in to report it, and Alan and the two had to wait where they were.

While waiting, Alan also observed the camp environment.

The camp is in the style of a military barracks, and the entire camp is surrounded by a wall made of solid wood. Only one gate was guarded, and there were two watchtowers standing on top of the gate to observe the surroundings.

The innermost part of the camp was where Alan and the others were, and it was where the soldiers were stationed.

In front of the station is an open field, where workers on the mountain are constantly transporting the mined iron ore and piling it up in the open space waiting to be transported.

In one corner of the camp, there are also rows of low shacks. It was supposed to be the place where the workers rested, dark and damp and completely incomparable to the tents where the soldiers lived.

"Go in!" As Alan looked around, the captain of the soldiers came out of the tent and said to his lover.

Alan didn't talk nonsense, nodded and led Xiong Da into the tent with him.

The spacious tent is very simple, with a wooden bed in the corner for personal rest. There is also a wooden shelf on which various weapons are placed.

In the middle of the tent was a long table, behind which sat a middle-aged man in leather armor.

The man was holding the mission voucher that Alan had just presented to confirm that it should have been handed in by the captain of the soldier.

Seeing Allen who was brought in, the two casually asked:

"You're the mercenaries who came on a mission?"

"That's right!" Alan replied without humility or arrogance.

"This quest requires at least two first-order spirit masters, you have no problem, right?" The man asked again.

"No problem." Eren replied, and at the same time, the Frostbone Great Sword in his hand summoned and quickly retracted.

As for Xiong Da, the man should have already said what happened just now, so there is no need to bother anymore.

The man looked at Alan Bear and the panther twice, and then said to the captain of the soldiers:

"No problem with the voucher! Take them to the mine where the accident happened. ”

"Yes! Sir. The captain replied, and walked out of the tent while motioning for Alan and Xiongda to follow.
