Chapter Ninety-Three: The Savage Plateau

Cornwall's eyes kept turning, and his heart kept wandering, Emerald Ridge was thriving now, but it was too far from the alchemy holy land in his mind.

But what Li Zhenshu said is not wrong at all, a person's ability needs to be cultivated through practice, and Cornwall never feels that he is a mediocre talent, and what he lacks is just an opportunity for development.

It's just that Li Zhenshu solicits a meal of wine and barbecue, I'm afraid that ordinary gray dwarves won't be able to resist, and most of the gray dwarves who followed Li Zhenshu to the Redbeard Shipyard will choose to join Emerald Ridge.

In addition to those big bandit groups in the wasteland, the treatment of Emerald Ridge is the most favorable, the key is that this is not a bandit tribe, and each robber tribe has to sell a little face.

Li Zhenshuo was waiting three steps away, he was clearly waiting for his reply, as long as he left, then he probably would never have much to do with Jade Ridge again.

He's just a gray dwarf leader, go to the Alchemy Alliance, where there are countless gray dwarves with outstanding skills!

"I do!", Cornwall's mind nodded after a violent struggle, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at Li Zhenshuo silently.

Compared to the beige soil layer of the Agate Wilderness, the most conspicuous thing about the savage ice field is the rocks that leak out, layer after layer of gray-brown mountains, directly connected to the end of the sky.

Savage Icefield!

Seventy percent of the land is covered in ice, and only the strongest barbarians can thrive on this land, but beneath this icy ground is a terrifying and outrageously rich vein.

There is an old saying among the Terrans, as long as you go to the savage wasteland and dig a mine at will, you are guaranteed to dig something.

Copper ore and iron ore are just the most superficial things, and the precious tin ore, gold ore, and silver ore are also widely distributed, and in some areas, there are even veins with very high magical attributes such as pure gold, mythril, and magic aluminum.

And the most eye-catching thing is the magic crystal vein!

Now in this savage highland, the three magic crystal ore veins are in the hands of the three major tribes, and with the rich magic crystal ore, they can exchange terrifying resources from the human race every year to ensure the reproduction of the barbarians.

At this moment, six figures dressed in animal skins landed in this icy and snowy land.

Three dwarf gray dwarves, a green-skinned mantis knife hand, and the other a two-headed ogre for the Holy Order, the five of them firmly surrounded a human in the middle.

Lee trembled!

It's been more than three months since the beginning of winter, and in three months it will be spring, when the snow and ice will begin to melt and the storms that block the entire wasteland will die down.

At that time, the Terran merchants would cross the wasteland to do business!

Trimester!

The time is very short, and in such a short time, Li Zhenshu must get an iron ore vein.

"Boss, there should be an iron ore mine there!", as soon as he entered the savage wasteland, Cornwall pointed to a red mountain line at the foot of the mountain and said, "There are good iron ore grains in those rocks, and after being broken and burned, ordinary iron ore can be refined!"

"These iron ores are too trivial to be mined!", a gray dwarf next to him hurriedly said, "The real good things are in the ground, more than ten meters wide stones, ninety percent of them are iron ore, that's a good thing!"

Cornwall didn't argue, he was right, but the argument between the two men reflected the outrageous mineral richness of the moor, and in less than half an hour, the three gray dwarves had discovered at least three veins, including a good copper mine.

A terrifying cold wind raged across the plateau, and the three dwarves were directly attached to the icy ground, and they could tell by their ears the quality of the minerals in the area.

"It's good here!", I saw a dwarf step on the ground with his foot, and said happily, "There is something the boss wants down there!"

Li Zhenshu didn't see any reaction, and he also stepped tentatively, except for the pain, it still hurt.

"Yes, there should be a lot of iron ore down there!, however, it's not suitable for our Emerald Ridge!", Cornwall said calmly.

"How is it not suitable, the iron ore reserves down here are very rich!", the dwarf who found the right place angrily defended.

Cornwall smiled calmly, "Although there are abundant iron ore veins here, but we in Emerald Ridge want to see the furnace that can be quickly produced to meet the laying of railroad tracks, and Captain Redbeard's furnace is burning, and it will take at least three years to build a mine!"

"Three years?", Li Zhen frowned, this time is a bit too long, "Cornwall, is there any other way?"

"There are solutions, but they need some money!"

"Rest assured, funding is not an issue. ”

After getting Li Zhenshu's assurance, Cornwall said directly, "There are two ways, one is that we look for an abandoned mine, the minerals of the savage plateau are very rich, especially ordinary minerals such as copper and iron, although the mine is abandoned, but the iron ore produced in it can still meet the needs of Emerald Ridge, and the abandoned mine has ready-made mines, and there are some mining tools." ”

It's a good idea, and although the abandoned mine shaft is hard to find, as long as you contact a few barbarians, you should be able to get news.

"And what about the second option?"

"It's simple, it's the mine that's running right now!"

"Cornwall, you are stupid, those mines are completely in the hands of the barbarians, how could they be entrusted to us to manage!", retorted a gray dwarf next to him.

Cornwall smiled, "If it was normal weather, naturally there would be no room for us to interfere, but it is winter on the ice field, although they have stored a lot of food, but as far as I know, there are not a few barbarians who starve to death every year in the ice field, and I heard that every small tribe of barbarians here has its own private mine, which is not under the jurisdiction of the above." ”

"Are you fighting these little mines?", Li Zhen's eyes lit up.

"Yes, boss, now the barbarians don't know, the matter of the underground high-speed tunnel in the wasteland, we have invested money in these private iron mines, and they are under their management, so that the minerals produced can solve the minerals we urgently need, and secondly, they now have a part of the mineral backlog in their hands, so that they can be transported to Redbeard's shipyard and immediately be able to refine rails!"

The mantis knifehand and the two-headed ogre did not speak, but they admired the idea of the dwarf in front of them, although the three gray dwarves had the same mineral skills, Cornwall's mind was obviously much more active.

This grey dwarf is better at operations than a pure burrowing dwarf.

Li Zhenshuo turned to look at the ogre, "Luis, you have been entrenched in the ogre canyon for so many years, you should know something about things on the snowfield!"

Louis nodded, "Boss, the barbarians are mostly settled with tribes, they are widely distributed in the snow fields, and in the depths of the snow fields, there is the real core of the barbarians, Caucasian battle mages!"

"Battlemage?"

"Well, it is said to be comparable to the mages of the Terrans, very strong, and can fight as close as warriors, we approach these tribes, just be careful of these battle mages. ”

"Battlemages are also in the Horde?"

The two-headed ogre nodded, "Battle mages and barbarians are closely related, relying on each other to defend the ice field, some battle mages can even directly deter a tribe, as for the domination relationship, the ice field is too vast, so I don't know!"

The ogre blushed a little, the ogre canyon he mastered did not allow merchants and barbarians to enter at all, and he also inquired about the situation of the nearby tribes, and he didn't care about anything else.

Li Zhenshuo stared at the vast ice field, and now it seemed that he was going to make contact with a few tribes first, so that he could control these private ore veins.

Although these private veins are not large, the targets are small, and the upper echelons of the barbarians are not easy to notice.

After a few people stopped for a while, they continued to march towards the depths of the snowfield, and after walking for about half an hour, a small tribe surrounded by spiked fences appeared in front of everyone.

Tribe of Spikes!

Directly in front of the tribe, a sign with a common language was hung, and several barbarian children were rolling in the snow, wearing only a half-foot animal skin, half of their bodies exposed.

It's no wonder that the barbarian warriors are strong, and their resistance can definitely be cultivated after rolling in such a cold ground for many years.

But at the same time, what Li Zhenshu captured was that the resources of the Jiantu tribe were very small!

Now what needs to be clarified is whether this tribe has its own private mines!
