Situ Jin and Gao Wen walked straight along the corridor in the cave for about five or six minutes, and after turning a corner, their eyes suddenly lit up. At this time, the sound of hard objects hitting each other could be faintly heard from the depths of the cave. The two stopped, Situ Jin extinguished the fire on his fingertips, looked at Gao Wen and nodded, then slowed down his steps and continued to walk forward.

After walking for about 100 meters, a row of long logs appeared in front of him, and these long logs stood horizontally between the holes, blocking everything in the depths of the caves, leaving only a small gap next to it, which looked like a small door from a distance, and this small door could allow up to three people to walk side by side.

Situ Jin and Gao Wen stopped in unison, because they had already seen that on the other side of this row of logs, there were two people standing inside the small door, and they kept walking back and forth inside the door, although they were a little absent-minded, but they were obviously standing guard.

There was a sound of banging and banging in his ears from time to time, Situ Jin frowned slightly, and then whispered to Gao Wen, who was standing next to him, "This should be a mining cave!" "Mine cave?" Gao Wen pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "Does Tias have any minerals? I've never heard of it!"

Situ Jin didn't continue to talk about this topic, he walked directly towards the row of wooden doors, originally he wanted to directly knock out the two people guarding the door, and then go in to find out.

But at this moment, I heard a very noisy sound from inside, and then, the two people guarding the door strode directly inside, and when Situ Jin approached the small door, there was no one guarding near the small door.

Gao Wen had been following behind Situ Jin, and seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh that it was too timely for those two people to leave. The two of them stepped through the small door in front of them together, and as soon as they entered it, they suddenly felt enlightened.

There was an open space in front of them, and the roof of the cave was much higher than when they were outside, and when they walked here, they instantly felt that they could even breathe a lot easier.

Situ Jin's gaze swept over the entire cave, and when his gaze stayed on the piles of ores piled up in the cave, his eyes froze instantly, and then he raised his steps and walked towards one of the piles of ores.

Gao Wen didn't know why, but he quickly followed Situ Jin's footsteps.

Walking in front of the pile of ore, Situ Jin bent down slightly, and then picked up a piece of ore the size of an adult's palm from the pile of ore. This ore is octahedral in shape, purple all over, opaque, with a metallic luster flashing slightly.

Seeing this piece of ore, even Situ Jin had a look of surprise on his face: "Purple Mother?"

Purple mother, is an extremely precious metal ore existing on the continent, in the manufacture of weapons, as long as a palm-sized piece of purple mother is fused in it, not only can greatly reduce the weight of this weapon, enhance the softness of this weapon, and most importantly, can make this weapon perfectly integrate any attributes without being easily damaged.

For example, if a swordsman who can use courage is not strong, an ordinary sword may be able to barely withstand the courage he pours into the sword body without breaking, but even if he can withstand it once, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to withstand it next time. And if he is a swordsman with a huge courage, if his sword is not cast with the Purple Mother, then this sword will definitely not be able to withstand his courage.

For example, a magician who likes to release magic with the help of weapons, no matter what his magic attributes are, if he just uses ordinary weapons, then there is no doubt that this weapon will definitely not last long and will rot, but if the weapon is added with purple mother, it is much safer, unless the density of purple mother added to the weapon is too low, otherwise the weapon will not be damaged easily.

However, it is also in response to the old saying, the more precious things are, the rarer they are, although the purple mother is strong, but there are not many purple mothers found on the continent so far, even if it is such a large territory as the Yaluo Empire, the purple mothers that have been discovered now are only that.

Although countless weapons are manufactured on the continent every day, there are definitely not too many weapons fused with the Purple Mother!

The scarcity of this kind of ore determines that it will not be used on a large scale, and can only be used by a small number of people, and these few people, needless to say, must be the real powerhouses on the mainland! Ordinary people can just play with ordinary weapons, without that strength, they can't give full play to the advantages of the Purple Mother, and it is a waste to hold such a good weapon!

The reason why Situ Jin recognized this ore at a glance was because he had read a lot of books since he was a child, and his memory was very amazing. Don't underestimate a reincarnated science madman, Situ Jin is always quite interested in these things that others don't care about.

Seeing Situ Jin looking at the piece of ore in his hand with a surprised look, Gao Wen hurriedly said, "What's the matter? Situ What is the Purple Mother?"

Situ Jin handed the purple mother in his hand to Gao Wen, and then roughly told Gao Wen about the attributes of the purple mother, Gao Wen was also surprised after hearing it, he took the purple mother in his hand and looked at it carefully, but it was difficult to imagine in his mind how such a small piece of ore could have such a big effect.

"So it seems that someone is secretly mining these ores here without the Empire's knowledge?" Gao Wen raised his eyes and looked at Situ Jin.

Situ Jin smiled: "Didn't you see those people who were just taken from the prison? they must have been sent to mine! And those who have the ability to bring out so many people from the Tias prison don't need to think about it." ”

Gao Wen thought for a while, and suddenly said: "No wonder those city guards deliberately came out to find us during the day, I think they didn't want us to wander around the city, so as not to discover this shocking secret hidden in this city, right?"

Situ Jin shook his head: "The lower-level officers and soldiers should not know, after all, the more people know about this matter, the more dangerous it is, and those officers and soldiers who are looking for you during the day think that they are just acting under the orders of their superiors." ”

Gao Wen nodded, but his mind was quickly analyzing the various meanings contained in Situ Jin's short sentence.

Under the orders of his superiors, which superiors were under the management of Fielding, and it was obviously impossible for Dulles to bypass Fielding and give direct orders for such a thing, so does this mean that Fielding was also involved in this matter? The lower-level officers and soldiers may be completely unaware, but what about the upper-level officers? How many people were involved in this matter?

You know, this is not a trivial matter, it's just that if you don't find it, who can not be shocked once you find it? It is already a heinous crime to find such a precious mineral in the jurisdiction and not report it, but these people are still mining these purple mother ores without telling the empire!

Where has the purple masterate been mined? Has it been transported to other countries? Needless to say, such a precious mineral, the empire must prohibit foreign transportation, if it is really shipped out of the empire, then the crime committed by these people is not just a capital crime!
