Chapter 61: True Silver
In the corner of the vast valley between the mountains, which was not affected by the raging sea of fire, it was still luxuriant, and there was a lake covering an area of 100 acres in the middle of the forest, although it was in the cold winter season, but the lake did not freeze, but was faintly steaming, and in the southeast corner of the lake, there was a small stream that flowed into the valley, and it was obvious that in the middle of this lake, there was a spring.
On the shore of the lake, I don't know when a tent was set up enough to accommodate more than ten people, the appearance of the tent looks simple and unpretentious, and it is inconspicuous in the mountains and forests, but once you step into it, you will find that although the outside world is icy and snowy, although there are no heating facilities in the tent, it is still warm as spring. The floor of the tent is covered with a thick carpet, completely isolating the cool air emanating from the surface, and the two glass headlamps are scattered, illuminating the tent as bright as day, and in the middle of the tent are placed two soft couches, one of which is leaning on the top of a handsome middle-aged Caucasian man, but his face looks quite pale. On the soft couch opposite him, a bald old black man sat cross-legged, and at his hand, leaning on a simple staff. Behind the two, two attendants stood each.
"Master Mopty, wasn't Etnena's march attacked by those two fierce beasts?" said the middle-aged man laughed as he shook the glass cup in his hand, which contained half a cup of blood-red but crystal clear liquid, and as he shook it, bursts of tempting aroma also emanated.
"Don't be anxious, Lord Count, for Eterna is moving fast, but it is also a vast valley compared to its kind, and it has only just passed through a great fire, and now it is snowing heavily, and it will take some time to reach the valley mouth. "Since I, Mopty, have promised to have Aiterna occupy the valley in three days, and I will do it, so rest assured, Lord Earl." ”
The middle-aged man put down the glass cup in his hand, and waved his hand over the table in the middle of the two soft couches, and a gray stone about the size of a newborn's fist appeared on the table.
"Huh?" Master Mopty suddenly opened his eyes, although he was old, he was not at all cloudy, staring at the stone like a playboy seeing a beautiful woman, "Lord Count, this is ......"
"True silver ore, it is estimated that it can refine the real silver of Eighteen Oz. The middle-aged man said, "If I can achieve the goal of this trip, it will belong to you, Master Mopti." ”
"Is it really real silver ore?" exclaimed Master Mopti, true silver is a rare metal that is quite scarce in the Tethys continent, and the annual production of the entire continent is limited. Real silver has many characteristics such as light weight, high hardness, difficult to damage, high affinity with magic, corrosion resistance, etc., and can play an important role in all kinds of equipment manufacturing. The value of Eighteen Oz's real silver is often nearly a hundred times that of a purple gold coin of the same weight!
"When did I, the Olookandi family, deceive my allies?" said Count Olovocandi, dissatisfied.
"Lord Count, I lost my word!" said Master Mopty bitterly, for there was no need for him to dwell on the matter, whether or not what Count Olovocandi said was true. The top priority is to truly put the real silver of Eighteen Oz into his own pocket. With this eighteen Oz's true silver, the grade of his staff will be at least twenty percent more certain!
Count Olovocandi put away the real silver ore as if nothing had happened, but his heart was dripping with blood, and he was bleeding profusely in order to achieve the goal of this trip. However, if you can achieve your goal, it will be worth the effort. The horn of an adult one-horned thunder python, or a juvenile one-horned thunder python that has just hatched, can make a substantial leap in his strength, and it is not in vain that he pays such a big price.
Mopti watched the piece of real silver ore being put away by Count Olovocandi, and he was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, such a thing, if he didn't see it, it was just that, since he saw it, he naturally had to do everything possible to collect it into his own pocket to be at ease. Although the Olovocandi family provided a generous compensation for this operation, it was a great deal of damage to the entire colony to drive the queen of Aitne's move here in advance, as well as to attack the one-horned thunder python and the scorpion.
Although it is said that as long as the queen does not die, as long as the entire ant colony has enough time, it can still return to its original size, but time is also important to him. The reason why his predecessors took great pains and spent a lot of effort and great cost to migrate an Aiterna queen ant to this mountain, and protected it until the ant colony formed a size, and was able to protect himself was not for the resources in this mountain.
But in his generation, the ant colony can be regarded as truly forming a scale, even in the face of fierce beasts like the one-horned thunder python and the canad, he also has the power to fight, but he didn't expect that the one-horned thunder python and the canon actually faced the attack of the ant colony, and put on a posture of not giving in. If there is really a hand-to-hand fight, although he is confident that the ant colony will win, but after this battle, he has no idea how long it will take to restore the ant colony to its current size. Therefore, after the attack of the ant colony was frustrated, he no longer urged the ant colony to continue the attack in the sea of fire.
But now that the Count of Olovocandi has taken out the true silver of Eighteen Oz, the balance of Mopti's psychology is naturally tilted.
Count Olovocandi looked at Master Mopti who was deep in thought, and continued to taste the wine in the cup quietly, the power of the ant colony of Aitney was somewhat unexpected by him, although it was said that this thing was originally produced in the dark territory, and it belonged to outsiders here in Ashan, but it seems that there are not many opponents here in Asan who can confront it head-on, and even fierce beasts of the level of the one-horned thunder python and the scorpion are quite afraid of killing the ant colony head-on. However, Count Olovocandi also sighed with emotion, although the ant colony is powerful, but it is not without shortcomings, not to mention that there are its natural enemies in the dark territory, out of Ashan, it is just bullying and bullying ordinary people, in the face of a large army, or a certain number of cultivators, they will not be able to achieve any prestige.
At least Olovokandi himself was able to come up with four or five ways to suppress the attack of the ant colony in a short period of time, that is, to have a clear upper hand in the face of a fierce beast with a relatively single attack method and no flight.
