111. Offa Mine
These arcane mines in the Silent Forest had been discovered when Alan led Ravenketh and them to explore the forest for the first time, but the texture of this ore was different from other veins, because it was affected by the abundant arcane energy of the Well of Eternity, and there was a thin film of energy all around the veins, so that those pickaxes could not pry them at all, but could easily destroy them.

At that time, Alan quickly chose to give up continuing mining because of the backwardness of productivity, and after such a long time, Allen, who had completely handed over the forging and mining to Raven Keith and others, had long forgotten about it, and the reason why he recalled it now was because he had recently re-screened the ore in the forest when he changed the weapons of the Night Elves.
He quickly focused his attention on these unique ores.
The number of arcane ores in this forest can be described as quite large, except for the lowest grade copper ore and tin ore, which themselves are produced together with other ores, as far as Allen is concerned, this ore should be formed by the erosion of other ores over the years, its whole body is violet, the surface has a strange luster, carefully observe it from its facet to the sun, there will be half of it transparent and transparent.
But it is very secretive, as these arcane mines are usually hidden between other ores and rock formations, covered in purple crystalline edges, and extremely difficult to mine. It stands to reason that mages like Alan and Crassus, who are extremely sensitive to arcane arts, should feel it immediately after approaching the huge arcane energy stored in the arcane mine, but when Alan touched the surface of the arcane mine, he realized that the outer layer of the arcane mine is not only to prevent the outside world from destroying it, but also to prevent the arcane energy inside the arcane mine from leaking.
Alan was stunned, isn't this exactly what he has been looking for!
I didn't expect it to be far away in front of me, and I had discovered it once in the past.
And now, Crassus was brought to these vein mines by Alan for the same reason.
This is also not the first time Crassus has seen these magnificent colored stones, in fact, before Crassus visited the camp of the Night Elves, he had conducted a careful survey of the nearby terrain - he was still known for his caution at heart, and after settling here, he passed by many times in search of traces of the legendary god Alan, but if Alan's discovery was hidden in these crystals that were of little value to him, he had to admit that he had looked away.
"That's what you're referring to?" Crassus asked, his eyes fixed on the arcane mines that glowed in the sunlight, and even now, he didn't feel anything superior about them, they weren't even as good as the surrounding Mithril and the Aojin that Milune had replaced with alchemy.
But looking at the smile that left room on Alan's lips, Crassus felt like he was being put on a show of what was so special about these stonesβhe decided to take some hard action to find out.
He directly stretched out his hand to these arcane mines, and the warmth of his hand felt like touching jade, with a hint of coolness. Crassus began to pour magic into the stone, and Alan, who was standing on the side, just smiled at him and said nothing.
At first, Crassus didn't notice anything wrong, because the stone and magic themselves have a certain compatibility, and even if the troll witch doctor and priest carved it on ordinary stone, they could create runes with short-lived effect. What's more, this stone has the texture of jade in Crassus's eyes, and it should be able to inject a lot of magic.
But gradually, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and this strange ore seemed to have a bottomless pit in its body.
Generally speaking, even if it is a gem, the capacity to store mana is limited, just like a hard disk, how many trillions of words can you put in it, you can also install a system (mana matrix), add programs to make it work, but you must not exceed the capacity space it can store, otherwise it will go wrong, crash, or even ...... Explode.
However, Crassus's current situation is the opposite, when he wants to withdraw his hand again, he can't break the connection between himself and the arcane mine, this ore is like life, constantly absorbing the mana in his body, so that Crassus has a feeling of being bitten and unable to shake off.
"What's going on?" His voice grew a little anxious.
"Don't be nervous, the more you want to disconnect from it, the more fierce its backlash will be, and the greater the suction power, you need to gradually and steadily reduce the amount of mana supply, and finally just be a little 'tough' and disengage."
Crassus did as Alan did, and sure enough, he withdrew his hand from the Arcane Mine, but Rao was like this, and his forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, and a lot of magic power was drained, so it seemed that the color of the Arcane Ore became more translucent.
"How does it feel?" Alan asked.
Crassus couldn't help but glance at him, since he asked so, and knew how to get out, it was obvious that he had also been "sucked" once: "Can't you have reminded me earlier?" β
"There is a saying that seeing is believing, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth." Alan said with a wicked taste.
Crassus wanted to refute, but after savoring these two sentences carefully, he felt quite philosophical, and after thinking about it, he decided to return his attention to the present: "This is the method you said used to store mana?" β
"Pretty good, right? You see, you've been drained so much mana that there's not a trace of it overflowing, and it seems that its capacity is far from reaching its limit, maybe it won't be enough to suck you dry. β
Crassus always felt that Alan's words were a bit obscene, but he didn't notice what was wrong, so he could only continue to follow Alan's words: "Its energy storage is really good, and it is also excellent to be able to absorb itself, but how can you use the magic power it stores?" β
After Raven Keith finished asking this sentence, Allen's eyes looked at Raven Keith.

"That's why I'm looking for you." Alan said truthfully: "To be honest, I didn't know exactly what to do, I tried to remove the outer layer of the film first. β
"What to do, forcibly destroy?"
"No, use the method of space replacement." Alan said.
"I see." As soon as Crassus heard what the other party said, he immediately realized that the mages could control the spell of displacing space, and its principle was to exchange objects in two spaces. Interestingly, if you use a displacement technique to replace a cup full of water, the water in the cup will not come out, but you can do reach through the hollowed out hole to touch the water.
But you have to be careful to maintain your spells, or you'll have two consequences-
For one, it's good that the cup is permanently separated from the part that was removed, and the water flows out of the hole.
The worst thing is the second outcome, your spell disappears, the displaced part returns to its original position, and if your palm is still in the cup, it may remain in it forever.
"And what was the result?" Crassus asked.
"It exploded." Alan turned his head and answered truthfully about the results of the experiment.
