Act 45 Silver Mine (6) (First Update, Ask for Support, No One Will Die If You Don't Support It)
In the early morning of Mount Grahar, a light purple and blue background color is faintly revealed by a faint line of blue in the east to west, and the stars gradually disappear into the curtain white, and the forest on the hill forms a unique silhouette under such a faint light.

But the time in the mining area was even earlier, and it was still dark, and the sound of a wooden whistle sounded.
The flickering light of the oil lamp dragged a deep black shadow on the ground, and Brando, like the others, was called out of the camp, and there was some cold air in the mountains and forests before dawn, and he looked at what he was doing, a little overwhelmed.
It was a cross-hair, its rough wooden grip nearly four feet long, about a number of owners, the surface had been rubbed smooth, there was not a single protruding burr, and the tip of the dark gray pickaxe was somewhat blunt.
But that's not the point, what made him sigh was that he didn't think that he would be a miner again. Anyone who has experienced the flood of online games often has a sense of intimacy with mining in the ignorant memories of that era, and Brando is no exception.
He also worked as a miner for a long time in the game, working day and night in the dark mines, processing ores, and then bringing the best quality ore to the market to sell.
It's boring to think about now, but at that time, it was a constant source of fun and motivation, because watching the money earned arm your character step by step and become stronger, full of spiritual enrichment satisfaction.
Although this is only an achievement in the virtual world.
Brando flipped the cross, and for a moment couldn't help but laugh at himself. However, he looked up and carefully discerned the figures in the distance in the crowd, and he quickly found the remnants of Juta, Akane and MΓ©disa from a few familiar backs, who had apparently seen the marks he had left in the forest at night, and were now disguised as miners and mixed in with the workers.
They wore turbans, which were not uncommon among the mountain people, but the dirty clothes on their bodies had been bought by Brando from the boys, who were very well connected here and provided him with great convenience.
However, the biggest gain was the news he received from the weak young man named Cowen, namely the rumor that the Schavrund mine was connected to the underworld; At that time, he had a vague idea in his mind when he heard what the other party said, and finally linked this idea to his own plan afterwards.
As for whether this plan will succeed or not, it will depend on the actual situation today.
Even Brando himself didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
But as he pondered these questions, he felt an elbow on him from behind, and he turned around alertly, only to find that it was Joka.
It turned out that the young man saw him in a daze here, and specially ran over to remind him: "Be careful, go inside when you get the tools, and you will be whipped if you are late." The boy walked past him and whispered.
Brando first felt if his money bag was still on his body, and then he turned around, "Sure enough, I saw the weak young man on the other side nodding to him from a distance, obviously the other party asked Joka to remind him."
After a short time together yesterday, these teenagers are not as wary of him as before, but Ke Wen is willing to help him, obviously out of thanks.
Brando felt that the other party was actually unwilling to owe him a favor and have anything to do with him, which was expected by him, but he didn't expect that this weak teenager didn't seem to have a low status in this group of people.
He thought for a moment, turned around and quickly followed," while whispering, "Where should I go?" β
Joka now knew that Brando was here just under a pretense, so he didn't wonder about his question, but whispered, "Since you don't know, come with us, I know where there are more mines." β
"Thank you."
"It's not free......" The young man turned around and rubbed his fingers at him seriously, "You have money, right?" β
"Nature." Brando smiled.
After the two entered the pit, the light naturally became soft and dim, and after the shallow veins were mined in the silver mines of Shavlund, the humans drilled several deep wells deep underground to mine the ore layer below.
The mines crisscross the Glaha Rock Formations, but only a single oil lamp traces the meandering with the division of light and shadow at a great distance from each other.
But it's not just Brando and Joka who go underground: "Workers enter the tunnel through several major entrances and quickly disperse. He looked around, and as he swept in a certain direction, he saw Yuta, Metisa, and Akane silently blending into the crowd, and then withdrew his gaze and followed Joka in front of him without saying a word.
The place Joka said was far from the surface, but not the deepest part of the mine. According to Cowen, the deepest part of the mine is deep underground and connected to the Jorganegan: although it is also possible that Brando's idea is connected to the top level of the Gorganegan, the so-called "Great Hive."
There are many paths there, and once you get lost in them, it is difficult to find a way out, which is also the biggest barrier between Jorgandegan and the surface world. What's more, the big beehive itself is also a place of right and wrong, where many monsters live, but it is not a stable and peaceful place.
It's just that most of the mine's operation area is concentrated in the middle and upper layers, and after Brando and Joka took a simple elevator to go deep underground, they only followed the low mine road for about ten minutes to reach the area where they worked.
But as soon as they went underground, what happened next surprised Joka, who was walking in front.
The boy originally thought that Brando would not be used to the low and oppressive environment in the mine, "In fact, he was ready to slow down so that the other party could keep up~ The underground corridor here is not as wide as the upper floors, and if you are not careful, you will break your head.
But the truth was not at all what he imagined, and Brando was like a fish in water when he arrived. The young man walked forward as he walked on the ground, even using some of the techniques he had used to pass through more skillfully than he had done himself, some of which even Joka had never heard of.
The boy was almost stunned, what kind of new hand was there, and he thought that the old miners who had been in this business for decades were nothing more than that.
And the two of them went all the way forward, not even half as long as he usually did, and in the end even Joka didn't know how he managed to keep up with the other: the underground was so hot that he couldn't help but wipe his sweat wet when he stopped, panting like a cow.
Joka never thought he'd be out of breath chasing people down here, and it hadn't been a long time since he hadn't felt that way since he wasn't an apprentice.
Brando then lights up the light source.
The air is already quite thin under this, naturally it is impossible to use an open flame, Brando took out the fluorescent crystal for lighting in order to save costs, the mine used the worst kind of crystal, and the market only buys a few coppers, the light of the crystal is so dim that it can almost be described as bad, not even as good as a faint candle flame, but the light gray halo still depicts the uneven shadows of the surrounding stone walls.
But I have to say that Joka and they chose this place is good, the rock is plated with a faint layer of light purple, which is naturally not the color of the silver ore itself, Brando guessed that it may be some kind of magical ore contained in the rock.
This is not uncommon, as Vaynd veins often contain a variety of magical associated ores. Judging by Brando's extensive experience, there should be a rich ore layer behind this rock: "The ore quality 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 series of footsteps coming from behind, and when he turned around, he found that it was Kewen and Maher's group, and the other party was obviously taken aback when he saw them: "Joka, you guys are so fast?" β
Joka gasped and glanced at Brando, nodding to her companion.
"You've chosen a good place." Brando said as he looked at the teenagers and then at the rock wall.
"Hmph" Maher snorted softly: "Can you see that?" β
"The light purple rock indicates that there is a cold iron component in the ore layer, which is a rare associated mineral." Brando looked at the sloping textures on the rock formations and casually asked, "Have you ever dug up twill quartz here?" β
"Twill quartz?" Maher was stunned: "What the hell is that?" β
"Also called light sapprite." Brando replied.
"Isn't that a pseudocrystal? How could there be such a thing in a silver mine......" Maher shook his head disdainfully, "If you're looking for that, you're in the wrong place." β
But Brando shook his head.
Twill quartz is not quartz, but a micro-magic ore that can produce the moonshine effect, so it can also be said to be a type of moonstone; This ore is widely found in the veins, and although the inferior twill quartz is worthless, the top type is called the Magic Eye Gemstone, which is often used as the most important part of the magic ring.
The twill quartz in silver ore is usually of inferior quality, yet it is an associated mineral of cold iron. Brando looked at the glowing rock wall and said, "Then you are digging in the wrong direction, dig in this direction, and maybe you will see cold iron ore*......"
Maher and the other teenagers glanced at each other, "How do you know, so kind to tell us?" "If it had been yesterday, they would have decided not to believe Brando. But now it's different, and it doesn't look like Brando needs to lie to them.
Brando really didn't lie to them, he was just casually talking about his experience as an old miner.
"So how are we going to dig?" This time it was the girl behind Ke Wen who asked.
