Chapter 127 A Hundred Years of Savings from the Old Mine
The next day, after a final morning of shopping in the city of Crossbell, the Patek Philippe crew returned to Heimdall by train, where Duchamp parted from the crowd on the grounds that he was going to buy goods from the kingdom of Liber. After a while, he changed into a new outfit in the station locker room, put on a wig, and walked out of the station.
In the Crossbell Guerrilla Association, he posted a request for help:
"It is said that the miraculous golden carp king can be caught near the mines of Mainz, and if you ask for any information about this, I will stay in Mainz for three days, and if anyone knows within three days, please come to the hotel in the town of Mainz mines, and if the information is reliable, I will be rewarded with 1,000 meters." Client: Sean. ”
This was the code he had agreed with Cassius.
After the news was registered, Duchamp took his suitcase and walked out from the north side of Crossbell to take a bus to Manz. I was thinking about how many Mira stones I was going to bet on this time.
The Mainz mine gambled on the stone warehouse, Duchamp looked at the little stock in the warehouse, and felt very unhappy, without it, there were too few useful mines displayed in the radar, and the ore was still the one he picked up.
The boss asked Duchamp: "Which one do you like?" ”
Duchamp snorted: "There are too few stones to choose from. Most of them are similar to the last time I came, have they been left unattended here? ”
The boss said contemptuously: "In Maynz, you can have as much ore as you want, as long as you have money." ”
Duchamp took out the 100,000 stacks of banknotes in his arms and shook it, saying: "What you play is the heartbeat, and what you have is money." ”
The boss saw the big stack of Mira, estimated the number, pulled a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It turned out to be a big customer, no wonder I don't like this bit of goods." Please come with me. "Let's go out of the warehouse.
Climbing down the iron staircase and over a small hill, the boss pointed to the front and said, "That is the stone yard where the gambling stones are stored, if you spend 100,000 meters, you can go in directly with the cutter and choose whatever you want." ”
Duchamp glanced at it, and was immediately stunned, there was a big pit opposite the town, as far as the eye could see, the scale was several times the size of this town, and in the pit were huge mountains of crushed ore, and countless paths crisscrossed it.
It's a scavenger's paradise!
Duchamp was stunned to see this concentrator several times larger than the town, and he asked in surprise: "How can there be such a large waste pit, and how is this formed?" ”
The boss said proudly: "100,000 meters, after giving the money, I will take you down and answer your questions." ”
Duchamp tried to bargain: "I have a total of 100,000 meters, can it be cheaper?" ”
The boss was full of expressions that were not afraid that you would not take the bait, and said temptingly: "There are countless raw ores below, you can choose at will after you go in, as long as luck comes, isn't this 100,000 Mira still coming if you want to?" I'll lend you both the ore breaker and the small trailer, and you just need to find a high-purity crystal in it, and you're good to go. ”
Du Shang hesitated, thought about it, and finally reluctantly gave the 100,000 meters in his arms to the boss.
After the boss got the money, he proudly took him down and said: "The pit below is the concentrator that Mainz has been using before the realization of mechanical mining, because hundreds of years ago, the beneficiation technology was backward, and many valuable ores were mixed in the waste ore and have been stacked here." Thirty years ago, the open-pit concentrator was abandoned when the mine was mechanically sorted, and the ore was piped directly from the mine to the factory. Later, some gold diggers came here to look for good goods, and these winding paths were climbed out by gold diggers. After I contracted the shop of the mine, I had an idea and contracted this place, and I often came here to pick up some eye-catching stones and take them to the top for everyone to gamble on. ”
When Duchamp heard this, his eyes widened: "It turns out that the ores in the store are all waste slag picked from the garbage heap, not newly mined ore from the mine." ”
"How can the mine use the newly mined ore to play like this, only if I pay the management fee to the mine, I am allowed to come here to pan for gold, and others cannot come down without my consent."
At this time, Duchamp, with his IQ, didn't understand that he was shaken by the boss, and Shenma contracted, this must be the boss's business, the so-called 100,000 meters, in exchange for the boss to lead the way. He pretended to be stupid and asked, "Then how long can I shop here, such a big place, it will take a month to go around casually." ”
The boss forced a smile and said, "Within a month, you can enter as you like." ”
Duchamp smiled stupidly, and when the boss finished handing over the cutting machine and the small board car and left, he was the only one left in the concentrator, he couldn't help laughing: "One hundred thousand meters, hahahahahaha." ”
The profiteer boss walked to the top of the mountain, saw that there was no one around, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahahahahaha, 100,000 meters, 100,000 meters!" Goddess, let such fools have a few more. ”
Duchamp finished laughing maniacally, and as soon as he adjusted the radar, the minimap showed a little bit of light.
When Cassius saw the strange commission at the Guerrilla Society, he rushed to the last bus to the mine, and it was already sunset, and he wondered in his heart, why did the mysterious young man meet in such a remote place?
After occasionally revealing his real name due to an unexpected incident, Cassius thought it was bizarre, and S turned out to be an Erebonian nobleman!
A young nobleman of the Erebonian Empire traveled thousands of miles to find him in the Kingdom of Liber and revealed to him an incident that happened in the Republic of Calvard.
What the young man said, though vague, was eventually verified, and the Imperial nobleman seemed to be single-handedly investigating the matter. Coupled with the 'Red Moon Research Society' incident that he suddenly encountered two days ago, it made this young man even more different.
Regarding the Red Moon Research Society, he has already found out the information, and he has specially come to inform S today.
"There are so many wonders in this world!"
Filled with questions, Cassius arrives at the Mines of Mainz Inn, a place where the conditions are simple and only temporary for those who come to buy ore. He glanced inside the store, the business was deserted, and there were no people. He walked over and asked for a room, and by the way asked the boss if anyone was staying today, and the boss's answer made him stunned, he was the first guest of the day.
"Could there be such a coincidence? There really was a guy named Sean who posted that bizarre quest. Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth, "If that's the case, it's interesting." ”
In order to make it easier for Duchamp to find him when he arrived, Cassius ate slowly and methodically at the inn, then went to browse the desolate night of the mine town, and finally found nothing, so he went back to his room and went to sleep.
At this time, Duchamp, who was crouching in the pit, had long forgotten that he had also made an appointment with Cassius, and he changed into the most durable combat suit, put on a hat and protective gloves, and nimbly crossed the hills, gathering all the ores shown on the minimap piece by piece. While trotting hard, he howled happily in his heart: "The savings of an old mine for hundreds of years have just reached the pockets of the master." ”
After waiting for the ore to be picked out and there were enough to pile up a small hill, he carefully scanned the nearby demonic beasts and people, took out the guiding workbench, picked up the ore piece by piece, watched the workbench there, and constantly pulled out useful ingredients from the ore. Of course, this kind of beneficiation also has pitfalls, and sometimes he used a lot of strength to hold the ore, and the workbench only found a little material the size of a soybean from it, which made him cry without tears.
While he was busy working on the guide workbench, he bit bread, drank mineral water, calculated the size of the abandoned mine, and then came to a conclusion: "It will take a month to dig it all, and this is not buried deep underneath." ”
Brother doesn't have so much time, so he can only pick the rarest and best ones.
"Get 200 grams of U material!" This prompt lifted his mood again. These numbered materials are rare materials for making high-precision weapons, and they cannot be bought anywhere.
"Get 150 grams of silver. Get 10 grams of Mithril. ”
Wahaha, cut out two kinds of stones, don't be too happy these days, work hard, move towards the starlight on the map, move towards the new generation of tactical guides, and move towards the richest man in the mainland.
"Congratulations players, after a long period of training, your stamina has increased."
Hahaha, this is really a double win, and if you run faster, your agility should also increase.
Wait, why am I busy processing at this time, isn't the big package still empty, as long as I stretch out my hand, I will suck it in, how much progress I have to speed up!
When the day dawned, Duchamp finally staggered up the hill and headed for the town inn, where he thought he could eat a cow by now.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the hotel, Duchamp couldn't wait to shout: "Boss, hurry up and have a big bowl of noodles and five catties of beef." ”
Cassius, who was slowly eating breakfast, heard the voice and turned his head, and the two of them looked at each other in astonishment.
"Oumai Cakeland, why did I forget about meeting with the Sword Master!"
"God, the day before yesterday, he was still a noble son, but today he has become a beggar!"
Cassius pondered for a moment, and said, "You are really uncertain. ”
Duchamp smiled awkwardly, went to the boss's kitchen, hastily washed his hands and face, took the large row of noodles that had just come up, and took out a more vigorous eating appearance than the rudest miner in the mining town, and sucked off half of the large row of noodles with juice and noodles in one bite. Sensing the scent in his esophagus, Duchamp raised his chin in intoxication and swallowed violently. Suddenly, he saw Cassius still waiting beside him, and said vaguely, "There is progress in that matter, but we will have to wait until I have eaten enough." ”
