Chapter Thirty-Eight: Getting Rich

The Wailing Woodland is overgrown with trees and flowers, and the sun shines through the branches to form a starry silhouette on the ground, and the natural environment provides a good camouflage, both for hunters and prey. As for the origin of the wailing woodland, it is because every night in the woodland you can hear a faint wailing sound from the surrounding area, as if there is an injured person asking for help, and it is said that those who go to the place where the sound originated to look for it will all disappear, and none of them will return, and over time, the rumor has been spread and become a legend, and the name of this woodland has been fixed.

Yacoste and they set out early in the morning, and the village of Capela sent a young militiaman to lead the way, it was really Daren, who he met that night, and Yacoste didn't ask him about the kobolds' dens, he knew that if they would tell them the truth, he told them last night.

"Here it is." Breaking through the branches and stepping through the lush grass, they finally came to a bottomless cave, where walking was much more difficult than the wilderness, because there was no "road" in the woodland for people to walk, and Acoste and the others had to overcome obstacles almost all the way to their destination.

"There are hundreds of kobolds in there, and it seems that a kobold leader and a kobold warlock have been born among them, and we need to watch out for their traps in the end. Those little things are so annoying. When Darren said this, there was a look of disgust and a little palpitation on his face, and he knew that the other party should have been tossed miserably by these gadgets. Kobolds are a race of innate expertise in mining and trap-setting, just as the dim vision of half-elves, the versatility of humans, the berserk bloodlines of orcs, and the rebirth of trolls. Those seemingly unpowerful but hidden traps have pitted many adventurers in the wild, and kobolds are born to speak dragon language, and although their way of communicating like puppies is not many streets away from the earth-shattering roar of a dragon, they insist that they have dragon blood in their bodies, and scholars believe that this is the reason for the frequent presence of warlocks in their race.

"Rest assured, we know how to deal with them." Acoste didn't respond much, but gave Ling a wink. Although the other party was reluctant, he was the first to enter the cave, Ling has some of the expertise of thieves, and even if he is not as good as a professional wanderer in the area of finding traps and disarming traps, he can still be caught against the traps set by kobolds.

After entering the cave, Ling took Acoste and others to turn around the "minefield", as the team deepened, Acoste they were surprised to find that there were gradually more exposed ores around the stone walls on both sides, and there were even some associated gems around, Ling immediately ran to the edge of a huge ruby, stretched out her little hand and pulled it out, and finally she called Acoste over, and the two of them worked hard to get the ruby down.

"Here" militia Daren was also stunned, although he was born and raised here, but Daren did not know that there was such a rich vein here, if they knew, Capella Village would never be as poor and dangerous as it is now, Baldur's Gate is estimated to send the most elite army to clean up the surrounding monsters and open up a trade route.

"This way, this way, and this way! Acoste, you'd better hurry up. "Ling doesn't have so many scruples as an adventurer, not to mention a wild mine that doesn't belong to anyone's name, even if someone contracts it, Ling will steal it when she sees so many gems that shimmer with an intoxicating halo. And Lavis also obviously showed a longing look for the gems, except for the loyalty belt worn around the neck, the little girl did not have a jeweled thing on her body, and no one could be bitter for Acoste's sister, so he lifted his sleeve and took out the iron pickaxe used for adventure from the space bag to pick those beautiful and small gems to dig.

Time passed quickly after a few people were in full swing, and even if they didn't dig the biggest, the space bags and backpacks that Acoste brought with him on this trip were already stuffed, and Acoste took out a lot of unnecessary daily necessities and threw them on the ground. Not only was the quantity outstanding, but the quality of the gems and ores they had dug up was also very high, including tear crystal and Osef mines, which were the best ingredients for crafting magic and even transcendent equipment. Acoste hadn't dug again since their backpacks were full, and they still remembered their mission, only glancing at the other metal on the stone wall with a little pity. This child is only a mineral deposit on the periphery, and if the entire mountain range is developed, Acoste believes that this wealth can build a second Baldur's Gate.

After sighing for a while, everyone walked to the depths of the cave, and after walking out of the long corridor, three holes of similar size appeared in front of everyone. "Left, right or middle." Rei's beautiful eyes looked at Acoste, like the average adventurer team would let the captain decide when they encountered such a situation. However, with the exception of advanced teams with spellcasters, who always have supernatural abilities to cheat. "Brother, I feel that there seem to be a lot of slight footsteps in the depths of the cave on the left, there seem to be two or three creatures in the middle cave, but all of them are big men, and I don't have any living creatures in the cave on the far right, but there is a very uncomfortable feeling, which Lavis doesn't like." Well, there is obviously one open in Yacoste's team, since Lavis is still young, but the professional level and role are not small at all. "Let's go to the left." Yacoste gave instructions without thinking about it, fools know that kobolds are a species that is no more than 1.4 meters tall and weighs no more than 100 pounds, but it is particularly capable of living, and the situation in the middle and right caves does not match their characteristics at all, and there are things that Lavis hates in the cave on the right, as Yacoste, who is extremely spoiled by his sister, it is impossible for him to choose to go in. "We have to hurry, this is the Wailing Woodland, and it is very dangerous to serve in the woodland at night." Daeron, who had been silent, suddenly said, Yacoste They also quickened their pace, they were new to the city, it was better to listen to the opinions of the locals, of course, the most important thing was the backpack and the attractive wealth in the space, if it weren't for the work ethic Yacoste They all had the idea of leaving back to Baldur's Gate in an instant.
