Chapter 268: Mineral Deposits
Kennan certainly didn't choose this place because of any quirks, nor did he really want to live in the wild. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info if possible, he would rather choose to live in the city. The main reason why he chose to live here is that there is a high-quality mineral deposit under this red maple forest.
Kenan learned through the detection of witchcraft that this deposit is not only of high quality but also rich in minerals, accompanied by many rare minerals, as long as he digs here and the materials in his pocket, he can basically build a simple wizard tower.
Although many specialized facilities cannot be built, such as the Astral Gate, it is still possible to build a low-profile version of the Wizard Tower with only a few ordinary facilities.
Every wizard wants to be able to build their own wizard tower. Now Kennan has the strength and materials to support him to complete the job. Moreover, after building the Wizard Tower, he was able to have enough strength to complete his plan, so under various circumstances, Kenan began his own plan to build the Wizard Tower.
In order to conceal his eyes, Kennan first arranged a misty phantom array in the center of the red maple forest. This phantom array can make all those who strayed here teleport out by the mist, and the strength of the misty phantom array is enough to prevent people below the legend from probing here, as long as the opponent does not forcibly attack the mist, they will not find a tall tower hidden in the mist.
After arranging the structure of the Mist Array, Kenan began to purchase simple alchemy rune arrays on the ground, intending to refine some clay golems as coolies.
These puppets have average physical strength, slow movement, low intelligence, and can only make some relatively simple commands, and if they are used to fight, it is okay to scare people, and when they really encounter the enemy, they may not even be able to beat a silver-level dwarf warrior. However, it can still be used as a coolie mining for mining.
Kenan refined ten at once, not because he didn't want to refine more, but because he couldn't use it no matter how much he had, and after having enough steel in the future, he could completely refine steel puppets, which was much easier to use than clay puppets, and could also be used as half a guard, which was simply cost-effective.
The tools used by the clay golems were all forged by Kenan from Sharpster's stock of steel ingots, and they were unusually strong, and with simple enchantments, it was not too easy to excavate, and soon the big guys dug a deep tunnel in the ground and disappeared completely. Except for the occasional clay golem carrying bales of gravel and dirt, the rest of the golems were already thinking about digging through the veins.
Kennan stood in the pit with the tunnels getting deeper and deeper and the clay golems taking longer and longer to go back and forth, "Well, let's lay a railroad track when we dig up the veins, it's too inefficient." It would be nice if I could dig up some redstone......"
Three days later, Kennan's puppets finally dug the tunnel to the side of the vein, and then knocked down a lot of iron ore with a pickaxe. Iron ore has a high iron content, at least under the calcination of the furnace, oh, a lot of iron ingots have been obtained under the purification of the alchemy circle. Kennan used the ingots to build a rail that went straight to the bottom of the pit, and then made several minecarts to transport the ore. The work efficiency has been greatly improved.
As for things like underground lighting and ventilation, clay golems don't need it, so mining is much easier, just keep digging down. Kennan's only thing to take care of is to occasionally reinforce the walls of the tunnel, taking care not to cause a cave-in.
As for the dirt and rubble that had been dug up, Kenan didn't waste it, and piled it up in a new rune array next to it, which could transform the dirt and rubble into something called lapis lazuli, which was a synthetic material that was more suitable for building wizarding towers. The price is low and the sources are widespread, making it the first choice of "poor" wizards.
However, so far, the lapis lazuli extracted by Kenan is only enough to build a foundation, not enough to build an entire wizard tower, so he can only slowly accumulate resources. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kenan decided to return to the hunting cabin once, after all, he had been missing for several days in a row, although he had said hello in advance, but it was not good to always play missing, and he had just taken over Sharpster City, although he basically left it to Rodhart to take care of it, but there were still many things that he needed to approve of, and this situation would continue until most things were on track.
So Kennan walked out of the red maple forest and returned to the hunting cabin.
Kennan had just stepped into the cabin when Jamila immediately ran over from the second floor, "Master, Rodhart is here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, if you don't come back, I'll have to send someone to find you?"
"Rodhart, what is he doing here?" Kenan untied the cloak behind him and handed it to Jamila. And Jamila naturally took the cloak, and then hung it on the shelf next to her, and said casually, "I don't know, but it shouldn't be an important matter." ”
"yes, I see. Kennan said as he walked into the reception room. At this time, Rodhart was sitting upright in the reception room, and when he saw Kenan, he immediately stood up and said with a respectful expression, "Your Excellency. ”
"Well, sit down. Kenan sat down on a wicker chair and said, "What's the matter with coming here today?
"That's right, my lord," Rodhart replied with a slight stool in his voice, "the members of the Inquiry Team are coming soon. ”
"Investigation team?" Kennan thought back, "How did the investigation team that came to investigate the treason of the Seven Families of Sharpster come so quickly? I remember that the report was handed over to the king for a few days, why did it come so quickly?"
Hearing Kennan's question, Rodhart said a little embarrassed, "My lord, one of the families we exterminated last time was a branch of the Golden Rose family of the kingdom, and this investigation team was led by the Golden Rose family, and a total of several famous families in the royal capital were gathered, and Her Majesty Catherine also sent a griffin knight to bring a message, saying that the Golden Rose family has always been a debt to be paid, and this time I am afraid it will not be easy to give up." ”
Speaking of this, Rodhart paused for a moment and then continued, "My lord, this time the other party is not good, it seems that he is looking for fault, do you want us to ...... halfway?"
"No," Kenan waved his hand, and then said lightly, "The other party came prepared this time, and if he sent someone to intercept and kill him halfway, he would definitely be convinced, so he can't act rashly for the time being." And since the other party has sent an investigation team, it wants to control the struggle within the rules, and since this is the case, then let's play together. A cold glint flashed in Kenan's eyes.
