Chapter 429: Finding the Mine
The dwarven mines are indeed a great feature of the dwarves, because even in all corners of the Ironforge Castle, there are many mines leading into the mountain.
I don't know what geological changes were made when the Dragonspine Mountains were formed, but all in all, it is said that the Dragonspine Mountains account for more than half of the minerals of the entire continent.
Such a mountain range is naturally a paradise for dwarves. Build an Ironforge in the Dragonspine Mountains, relocate all the dwarves to live in the Dragonspine Mountains, and spend your days dealing with your favorite ores......
It can be said that this is the happy life of the dwarves. And the one who led the dwarves to carry out this qiē was the king of the dwarves who did not know how many generations ago...... In the minds of the dwarves, it is already tantamount to the existence of a god.
The vast majority of dwarves are keen on mining - even if their job is not absenteeism, in their spare time they will run to the mines to dig a few pickaxes and get some ore or something to make their own collectibles - so to speak, a picnic with humans or something.
Of course, Ji Ran didn't want to go in the mining cave when they were looking for a mine...... They don't have the hobbies of dwarves. Although girls like gemstones, Ji Ran likes a material that can be used for alchemy, but there is no need to dig it yourself, right?
What they were looking for was space to help Baker advance to the Silver Rank.
The example of the previous class promotion made everyone taste the sweetness, and the promotion in the black crystal mine made the strength of the class increase considerably, far exceeding other ordinary silver rank promotions. Of course, there is the example of Lydia, but Lydia's example cannot be used as a reference for Baker - the promotion of a mage is more or less different from that of a warrior.
For example. The promotion of a mage is more focused on attribute energy. And what about the warriors. As long as the cultivation method is not particularly biased towards a certain attribute, then basically the energy of any attribute is useful, and there is no need to be too biased.
The promotion of the silver rank is different from the gold rank, and the advancement of Rice is even more informative. Therefore, Ji Ran decided to refer to the promotion of the class and find a venue like that for Baker.
And the dwarves' pit is simply the best place. There are countless ore pits with high attributes, and there is naturally an abundance of energy in them. As a matter of fact. The advancement of the dwarven warriors is basically in the mines.
But as guests, Ji Ran couldn't be like the dwarves who were so arrogant that they could find a suitable mine and get promoted...... They had to get the consent of their masters.
"No problem, I'll leave this matter to me! The dwarves are hospitable and will never refuse your request! And you are now friends with the Master Chefs, and even the Dwarven Kings and Elders know about you...... Find a suitable mine, absolutely no problem! I'm going to take you to the mines tomorrow...... But the inside of Ironforge may not be suitable, you know, somewhat privately...... But those mines out there, absolutely can! ”
Domorgan patted his chest and took the bag. In fact, it is. Most dwarves won't turn down a visit to the mines, and can even dig a few times if you want. You can take away what you dig up...... In a sense, this is also a kind of tourism industry.
However, the mines inside Ironforge are often privately owned...... And it's owned by the dwarves who have status. These caves are often used for more than just mining, but there are many other things to do, such as hiding something in them, or researching spells. The dwarven alchemists are also accustomed to using these mines as real chambers - if something goes wrong, it will not threaten others, but the probability of being buried is a little higher.
But the mines outside are not so restrictive...... In fact, most of the mines are collectively owned by the dwarven kingdom, but the dwarves are allowed to mine in it. Mining is also taxed, otherwise where will the daily expenses of the dwarf kingdom come from?
It's not a problem to use these mines to entertain friends from afar.
Since Domorgan had taken care of it, the people left it to him. Domorgan also lived up to expectations, quickly completed the formalities, and then took Ji Ran and the others to start turning around the mines on the Longji Mountain Range one after another.
Not all mines are suitable for promotion, and how many need to be chosen. Although there are many ores, those mines that do not emit energy restraint are naturally not suitable for promotion. And those who have too strong an energy response will not work...... Usually dwarves need to do a good job of various protective measures when digging, and when digging, they must also be careful to avoid accidents, you run inside to get a magic array to promote the golden rank, who is responsible for the collapse of the mine?
Therefore, it is not easy to choose a suitable mine. In the next few days, most of everyone's time was spent on this.
Then, the news was heard by Scott.
Scott came to the dwarves to talk about business this time, and there were other things to do. But there is nothing to do now, there is time for those guards to inquire about the news of Ji Ran and others. It's just that Scott hasn't seen Ji Ran and the others so far...... He had been hiding in his room, thinking of himself as a strategist.
After getting the news that Ji Ran and the others had been visiting the mine for the past few days, he felt that the opportunity had come.
"Contact the people over there and ask them to do a favor and kill those people. If they want to make a deal with us, they will have to pay a price...... Hmph, do they think we are fools and will only be taken advantage of by them? ”
Scott stood in the room, speaking to one of the guards behind him.
"Master Scott, I think...... Some of those people are not very reliable. You know, they're all crazy...... It's already dangerous to make a deal with them, and if you leave this kind of thing to them, will they show their feet and implicate us......"
The guard obviously still had a certain status, at least at this time to raise his own objections.
"Don't worry, although those crazy people are not very good at their heads, their strength is still good. According to the news I inquired about before, the most powerful person in that group of people is only the silver middle level, right? That is, the combat skills are stronger. But those madmen are not afraid of death...... Killing this group shouldn't be a problem. What good will it do them if they betray us? They have a bigger plan, and they need our help now...... So, it doesn't matter. ”
Scott sneered again. I don't know why Grandpa is willing to make a deal with those crazy people, but it's nothing...... After all, you can get a lot of benefits from your own side. And those crazy people are really unpleasant to watch...... It seems to be about to break out and hurt people at any moment. Isn't it just right to take advantage of them now?
“…… Yes, I see, Master Scott. The guard nodded, turned and walked out.
"That Dunis guy will only cause trouble, and he can't be a qualified patriarch at all...... If I get things done, those old guys should think about me too, right? Scott looked into the distance, a smug smile on his face again.
Ji Ran and the others didn't know that someone was calculating them behind them, and they were following Domorgan from mine cave to cave.
"The dwarves' mines are almost their second home! In fact, many dwarves spend more time in the mines than they spend at home...... These ores are the dwarves' closest friends, and the dwarves can hear their breath and see their color...... All the dwarves, when they were young, their toys were all kinds of gems, and when they grew up, they became small hammers and pickaxes, and when they were bigger, they could come to mine themselves! Hahaha, how's that, sounds romantic! ”
When Domorgan entered the mine, he was almost like two people outside, and the alternative dwarf with the face of a merchant disappeared, becoming a standard dwarf who picked up a pickaxe and was enthusiastic when he saw the ore......
Ji Ran smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's indeed very romantic." But this is just a romance that belongs to the dwarves, and other races probably can't understand it. ”
Domorgan sighed, "That's right, it's a pity. However, you are worthy of being friends with the dwarves, and you have to find a mine to do such a thing as being promoted to the silver rank...... Rest assured, as long as you have chosen the mine, we will definitely help! These ores are cute kids, and they're definitely willing to help Baker! ”
Domorgan and Baker are also familiar friends, after all, Baker is also one of the directors of the distillery......
"Ji Ran, how about this?" Baker was actually itching for a long time. Because he had already walked through several mines, Ji Ran shook his head after the inspection, indicating that it was not suitable...... Although he knew that it was responsible for him, he was already in a hurry.
"Rest easy! If you want to maximize your strength in this promotion, don't worry! This is a very important matter, and I will be cautious! ”
Ji Ran observed the surroundings. Although the first few mines could barely carry out the promotion ceremony, Ji Ran always felt that it was not good...... The energy distribution is not so uniform, and it is easy to interfere with the formation. And this cave now looks quite appropriate - this is a white crystal mine, similar in nature to black crystal ore, but in a slightly different form of energy.
White Crystal Mine is not a valuable mineral on the dwarves' side, but as long as it is a mineral, the dwarves will not let it go. In addition, there are many associated minerals of white crystal...... The value of these associated ores is not low, so the hole has also been excavated to a considerable depth.
One of the benefits of the White Crystal Mine is that it doesn't have to be lit up at all times like other mines...... The light emitted by the white crystal was enough for the dwarves to carry out mining operations.
"It's nice here...... Let's choose this place! After entering a sub-tunnel, Ji Ran's eyes lit up. The arrangement of white crystals here is similar to that of Ban when he was first promoted, and the energy in the air is just right!
Let Baker be promoted here, no problem! (To be continued......)
