"In which country is the vein not a strategic resource? Every mine must be stationed with heavy troops, and as soon as you start to absorb the magic energy, the elemental reaction generated will attract the soldiers, and you can't run away. ”

Homer doesn't have to think about it, he can give dozens of examples casually.

Magic stone resources have always been the fuse of war, why is Iraqistan so chaotic? It has been stumbling in the quagmire of war for hundreds of years, isn't it that several major empires do not want it to be unified and independent for their own interests, otherwise how can they grab energy at a low price?

"Two billion worth of magic stone veins, if you get them all, it will really be a lot of money, and the magic energy that has been promoted to the scepter level is enough, right?"

Downton didn't have much of a loss, this thing was the same as the one he picked up for nothing.

"Innocent, don't forget that there is also me and the cheap god, although the magic stone energy is not as good as the soul source, but after being purified into high-level energy by the hand of creation, it can barely be used. ”

Homer explained, "This is an away battle, and the hand of creation is too much to draw magical energy, I estimate that when we get one-fifth, the dwarves will send heavy troops to surround us." ”

It takes a lot of time for the Hand of Creation to draw magic energy from the ore vein, it can't be interrupted, otherwise it can't succeed, and it itself also consumes magic energy, the farther away from the ore vein, the lower the absorption efficiency, so you have to find the most abundant reserves, otherwise you will run out of nearby ore veins at the beginning of the extraction, and you have to move to find the extraction point again, which is a waste of time.

Twilight is a person who likes to plan before she acts, and after asking in detail how the Hand of Creation works, she begins to write a plan that will mark all the problems she may encounter.

The war space of the Ancient Great Magic Book is stored with sufficient and perfect supplies, Downton needs to prepare everything, ready to go at any time, and all that remains is to let unrelated people leave the group.

Palin had long wished that Downton and his party were out. Let him and Sissi be alone, but the princess doesn't think so, she is enjoying the adventure, how can she leave the group so easily.

"I'm not afraid of danger, and besides, my aunt is a crystal dragon, and my talent is great. You don't have to worry about my safety at all, I can take care of myself. ”

Sissi's tone was short, and she looked at Downton with big eyes, a little more pleading.

When has Her Royal Highness the princess begged for someone, not to mention that she is still a big beauty, this kind of pitiful expression made Downton hesitate a little.

"But the place we're going to is too dangerous, and if something goes wrong with you, we'll all have to pay for it. ”

Downton hardened his heart.

"Even if I'm dead, you won't be responsible, will you take me?" Sissi turned her gaze to Twilight. "Aren't you companions, why do you want to leave me behind?"

Twilight is silent.

"Do you all think I'm a burden?" Sissi squatted on the ground, her cheeks buried in her arms resting on her knees, and sobbed in a low voice, "I thought we were friends, but it seems that I was wishful thinking." ”

Downton shrugged his shoulders at Twilight, he was really bad at girls.

"Hey, let's go together. However, in case of danger, you must flee as soon as possible. Leave us alone. Twilight relented.

Hearing Twilight's words, Sissi jumps up, and her beautiful face with tears is like a flower after the rain, which makes people feel pity.

"I'm not going to run, I'm going to fight with everybody. Sissi stretched out her hands, "I have the best magic suit." My talent is limited to the number of times I can use it per day, but it's very powerful. ”

"Princess!"

Palin reproached and told the talent to someone unfamiliar that was no different from suicide.

"It's okay, they're all trustworthy people. ”

Sissi is stubborn. Makes Perrin vomit blood in frustration.

"If you don't feel at ease, sign the airline contract with her first, so that you can be tied to a front. Homer reminded, "Actually, it's good to bring her, you can strengthen the relationship in the adventure, if you make her fall in love with you, you can get both people and money." ”

"Come on, what is my identity? Let's not say that people don't look down on me, if I like it, I'll wait to be assassinated by Sissi's followers every day!"

Downton is self-aware, don't talk about miscellaneous fish, many wealthy nobles also want to marry Sissi, after the political marriage, the power will be greater, so Downton will never be allowed to cause chaos, as long as there is just a hint of Sissi liking him, he will be assassinated.

"Don't rely too much on the Demon Servants, anything can happen in the melee, and they can't protect you all the time. ”

Twilight reminds Sissi that although the princess is a judge, her actual combat experience is too poor, and even if she has a super beast servant, it is a burden.

"Well, I'll try. ”

Sissi's expression was cautious.

"Hu Tao, you are not allowed to run around, the task is to protect Sissi. Downton looked at Juliet, "You're with her." ”

"Hmm!"

Hu Tao thought that he could have fun, and when he heard this, he lowered his head.

Perrin followed, not to mention that she was still a guide, and she was relatively familiar with the area near the Gray Ridge Mountains, plus Su Ya, Lao Bu, Tanan and his wolf dogs, a total of eleven people formed an adventure group, and after a full night's sleep, they embarked on the road to the Gray Ridge Mountains in the early morning.

The dwarven kingdom clearly stipulates that a radius of fifty miles from any city is a no-fly zone, even if Sissi is a princess, she cannot repeatedly challenge the laws of the empire, so everyone can only ride horses.

"No one is following!"

After a day of observation, Lao Bu and Cindy finally determined.

"Our mounts are all superb, how can we catch up with the broken lizards ridden by those robbers. Su Ya stroked the Sherman War Bear under his crotch, his face full of love, "This is the pride of the Troll Millennium Empire." ”

Indeed, along the way, the party attracted a lot of attention, and there was no way to keep a low profile, and when it came to gorgeousness, Sissi's unicorn was the holies, followed by Downton's scorching nightmare with four hooves and green flames, and then it was Sherman's turn.

Twilight's sick horse is the most inconspicuous, but no one dares to underestimate it, because this sick seedling unceremoniously bites the unicorn and is like a bully.

"It's better to be careful!"

The drow elves are the most vindictive, and Downton doesn't think they will give up chasing and killing them, and judging from the situation at the time of the raid that day, the two super beasts can't scare them back at all.

Three days later, the adventuring group left the last town and left the Civilizational Realm completely, and began to set foot in the hilly terrain.

At the end of the spectrum, you can see sparse tree lines, tall trees towering and low bushes everywhere.

Hu Tao rode the sky ray like a cloud in the sky, floating around unrestrained, picking so many berries that her whole mouth was stained purple with juice.

At the foot of the Grey Ridge Mountains, the once sparsely populated lumberyard is now noisy, and the smoke of cooking is the sound of dwarves drilling.

A checkpoint has been set up on the path into the mountain, and two ten-meter-high towers stand on either side, on which archers stand and look out with telescopes.

"Why did you close the mountain? It looks like the dwarves are going to do some kind of military exercises, regimental commander, let's go back to the city, if we are caught, we will definitely be hacked to death as spies." ”

Lao Bu didn't want to take risks, he was just a civilian, and he didn't have the confidence to shout with the soldiers.

"This kid must have some ulterior motives!"

Perrin didn't ask Downton about the purpose of his adventure, but seeing the dwarf who was waiting for him, he guessed that he might have a grand plan.

"You can leave!" Downton replied, turning to Cindy, "Is there a path into the mountains?"

"Yes!"

Sinti is much more professional than Lao Bu, never opens her mouth when she shouldn't ask, and tries her best to meet the requirements of her employer.

"Lead the way!" Downton urged, "try to pick the wild road to reduce the risk of detection." ”

After a few days of hard work, the whole person was dusty, Sissi thought she could rest and recuperate before entering the mountain, but she didn't expect to set off immediately, but her arrogance also came up, Juliet, who was a big rank lower than herself, did not complain, and she could also persevere, so she gritted her teeth and held on.

"After the completion of this mission, each person will be guaranteed a salary of 100,000 gold coins, and according to the harvest, a part of the reward will be given. ”

Lao Bu was complaining in a low voice, but when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and grabbed the front, "Let me lead the way." ”

Upon entering the mountains, the lush vegetation darkens the environment and creates an oppressive sense of suffocation, and Downton sows a lucid spell from time to time to ensure everyone's attention.

The dark areas have always been damp, especially in the mountains, and the dew does not disperse all year round, making the ground feel like it has been ravaged by days of rain and mud.

Poof!

Su Ya slipped under his feet and almost rolled down the hill, but fortunately he was quick and grabbed a vine.

"Be careful. ”

It was useless for Downton to remind him, the ground was full of clumps of grass and trees, and it was extremely slippery after being stained with dew, not only Su Ya, but the whole team had fallen.

Sissi pouted, the more urgent the evil fire in her chest became, what kind of road was this, because she was wearing gloves, she fell more than a dozen times, and her hands were fine, but there were several more cuts on her face, and her hair was hung off by branches, and no one cared about herself except for Perlin and Lao Bu.

"Your Highness, you have nothing to do, do you want me to carry you? ”

Perrin handed the kettle, his face full of concern.

"No, I can't be compared. Sissi glanced at Juliet, who was not complaining about being tired, and pushed the kettle open, "I'm fine, let's keep going." ”

Sissi is a judgment is right, and her physical strength is not bad, but she has suffered this kind of hardship since she was a child, not so much physically tired, but mentally tired, as for Juliet, she has survived the illness and her father's vicious beating and scolding since she was a child, and she has experienced a more difficult environment, and the mountain trek in front of her is simply drizzle.

"Won't it be too rushed?

Twilight glances back.

"It's not an outing, so I'll go back if I can't stand it. Downton's brow was furrowed enough to kill a crab, and the visibility in the forest was so low that he had to carry a lantern, but in this way, the party was like a star in the night sky, increasing the chances of being spotted.

Sure enough, after walking for another half an hour, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the dense forest, and the dead branches and leaves clicked.

"Be careful, the enemy is coming. ”

Cindy hurriedly warned. (To be continued......)
