Chapter 0053: Mine Cave
According to the hint given by Ciric, Zhou Qingfeng lifted the ban on the mine and walked into the cave.
As far as you can imagine, the mine is a place where it's not full of sewage, but it's full of potholes, and it's not a good place to be comfortable and beautiful.
However, this elf's mine is really different, its interior is clean, and the ground is level. It's just that the air is not very good, it has not been ventilated for many years, and it has a choking earthy smell.
Zhou Qingfeng was still holding a torch when he came in, and he wanted to extinguish it for fear of suffocation. Ciric asked him to continue walking towards the cave, "Don't worry, take the core of the magic circle, and the forbidden earth wall at the door will naturally disappear."
The elves didn't pay much attention to this, and the ban set was not strong. This place has been operating independently for more than fifty years, and the defenses of the circle are already too weak to hurt you. ”
So Zhou Qingfeng held a torch and walked along a pit track towards the cave for some distance.
When the elves withdrew, they had taken almost everything they could, and there was hardly anything good to be found in the cave - except for the core of the circle used to seal the mine.
It was a ball of light floating in the cave, emitting a faint and cold light, and Zhou Qingfeng reached out to grab it but grabbed it. "There are more than a dozen mines here that share the same circle core. If you can't catch it, it means that what you found is not the core ontology. ”
"Where's the core?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"I've never been here either, but there must be a mine escape map at the entrance to the elf's cave, so look for it." This mine should be connected to the other mines, and the core body should be somewhere else. ”
So Zhou Qingfeng held a torch high to illuminate the location of the cave entrance, and really found a structural diagram of an underground mine. He followed the instructions of the structure diagram, walked from one mine to another, and ran several places in a row, finally finding the core of the magic circle.
It was a diamond-shaped white crystal with magical energy, and it had been lonely in this deserted mine for more than fifty years. Zhou Qingfeng held it in his hand and felt cold.
"The quality of this white crystal is average, and there is not much energy left. In a few years, even if you don't come here, the mine will open naturally. "Let's go, without the White Crystal, the closed circle will soon be useless." ”
Zhou Qingfeng put the white crystal into his backpack, turned around and left. But I didn't pay attention to my feet for a while, and accidentally kicked a box. The box was sturdy, and it hurt to hit his toes.
...... hiss, Zhou Qingfeng gasped in pain, put down the torch, and looked down at what was on the ground? When he saw that it was a box, he kicked it over again.
There was a crackling sound, and something was hitting back and forth in the overturned wooden box.
Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward curiously and opened the box, and inside was a long knife. It's very different from his rusty, rotten stabbing sword. The body of this knife is shiny, the handle comes with a non-slip strip, and the handguard has a delicate pattern. Its style is simple and very lightweight.
Assassinated at night, Zhou Qingfeng's rusty thin stabbing sword collided with the opponent's weapon, and the body of the kung fu sword was bent in a few strokes. He had long wanted to change his weapon, and the thin long knife in front of him was exactly what he wanted.
"It's the standard cavalry knife of the elven mercenaries, a cheap commodity made in batches." Ciric said disdainfully, "It may have been unintentionally left behind by the elves when they withdrew. Of course, it could also be because this thing is too rubbish for the elves to care. ”
Zhou Qingfeng grabbed the cavalry knife and said angrily: "Please, in your eyes, is everything cheap and inferior?" I think this knife is good. ”
"Compared to the scrap metal on your waist, this elven bargain is a lot better. But it's still scrap metal. "As the Great Dark Sun, whatever I give to believers is better than the thing in your hand. ”
Zhou Qingfeng was too lazy to quarrel with the madman Ciric, he didn't hesitate to throw away his original tattered knife and hang the elf knife he picked up on his waist.
This long knife also has a special style, its blade body is one meter and two long, with a single-sided blade, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and very sharp.
"Not bad, not bad." Zhou Qingfeng tried to swing the knife and slash a few times, and the newly arrived cavalry knife was of the right weight, and it was very smooth to use, which was pleasant. He was excited for a while, and then he wanted to find out if there were any other good things in the mine.
It's a pity that ...... is gone!
Zhou Qingfeng did not go deep into the depths of the mine, but only looked for the entrances of several caves. It was as if the place had been licked by a dog, and there was nothing but stones.
Back at the entrance of the cave when I entered, the energy in the circle was completely depleted, and the wall of earth was gone.
I heard a commotion from outside the cave, and I fell into it with a bang. Then there were dumbfounded faces, and a moment of coldness.
Zhou Qingfeng walked out with a torch, and he didn't have to think much to know what these guys were doing outside. He originally thought that the low-level humans of the Black Forest were scattered, but he didn't expect the leaders who were the backbone to do the same.
After a few words, the voters shouted 'sun' in unison. Zhou Qingfeng could only roll his eyes at this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, the mine has been opened, you can go in and have a look." But it's not really much to see......"
Before he finished speaking, a wave of people rushed in front of Zhou Qingfeng, and hundreds of people rushed into the mine in one go.
Zhou Qingfeng had to change the topic and shouted loudly: "Don't run around, the lines in the mine are complicated, don't go in and can't get out." There's going to be a war tomorrow. ”
It's a pity that no one listened to this, and Fei Zhe, who was originally lying on the ground, ran the fastest. He poured into the cave with a breath, and by the way, he brought a tide, as if there was some elven secret treasure in the cave, and the people behind him also rushed in, scrambling to be the first.
Zhou Qingfeng quickly became few people in front of him, he scratched his head and smiled bitterly.
Wilson, the leader of the craftsmen, was one of the few people left, and he also smiled bitterly, and he didn't know what to say when he walked in front of Zhou Qingfeng?
"Our people weren't affected, were they?" Zhou Qingfeng took the initiative to ask.
"Nope." Wilson shook his head, "We're all untouchables, and we're not allowed to move around at night. ”
"You don't want to go in and have a look?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again, "There should still be some differences between the elven mine and the human one. ”
Wilson still shook his head, "That's right, many of the elves' skills are higher than those of humans. I want to check it out, but certainly not now. He paused for a few seconds, and then felt that he should remind a few words, "Your Excellency Hugo, in fact, you just ......."
"You don't have to say it, I know." Zhou Qingfeng interrupted Wilson, "I know exactly who I'm facing. With our current strength, we are not qualified to pick our subordinates, but we are also qualified to pick our allies. So ......, ignore it! ”
Wilson sighed, too, "Yes, Your Excellency. Your ideas are always so special and so clear. He bowed respectfully, bowed his head, and said, "I now understand why you want to contain those untouchables.
I have to say that although you are young, your tolerance and generosity have a special charm that can unite people's hearts. No matter how unruly the brute is, he will choose to be convinced in front of you. ”
Zhou Qingfeng only smiled wryly at this - who wants to be particularly charming? Who's going to unite people's hearts? Don't I want to run amok? Isn't it because Lao Tzu is too weak!
