Chapter 117: The Calculations of the Parties
Millennial sylvestite is the best in the balite, and it is a special type of crystal that can only be produced at the core of the giant baite vein. The difference between it and the balaite is like the difference between charcoal and diamond, although it is composed of the same element, their structure is completely different, and it can basically be said that it is two substances.
Xuantie is just an ordinary-grade material for refining magic weapons, and its value is relatively high because of its wide application and high demand. The Millennium Xuanjing is a rare high-grade material, one of the main materials necessary for refining many high-level magic weapons, and it is extremely precious.
Seeing this large piece of thousand-year-old Xuanjing, the fat man Yan Qiu's saliva was almost flowing all over the place. This kind of high-grade goods is not comparable to the mere Xuanjian, and the fat man can't wait to run forward and gently caress the crystal clear Xuanjing with his trembling hands, as if he is afraid that he will accidentally break them.
In fact, the hardness of the thousand-year-old Xuanjing is extremely high, not to mention that it is gently stroked, even if it is smashed violently with a fist, the most likely result is that the flesh and blood of your fist are flying, not that the Xuanjing is broken.
Soon the fat man Yan Qiu tasted the bitterness, and he found that he couldn't pry any of the Xuanjing here with a shovel. If they want to dig out the thousand-year-old Xuanjing, they can only dig up the wall of the cave little by little, and separate the Xuanjing from the Xuanjing ore in order to obtain it.
Then almost all of the ore on the cave wall was the highest purity, and it was very difficult to excavate, even if Qin Tian tried his best to pay it, he couldn't dig up a few pieces of Xuanjing in an hour.
Faced with this painful and happy situation, Qin Tian and the four of them could only take turns digging, two digging and two resting and eating to replenish their physical strength.
In fact, this karst cave is not big, it is a natural karst cave with a narrow shape of about thirty square meters, the more dense and huge the Xuanjing is, the largest piece of Xuanjing is actually the thickness of a thigh and half a person high, Qin Tian doesn't know if such a huge Xuanjing still belongs to the category of thousand-year-old Xuanjing, or has been upgraded to a higher form.
The crystals in the cave grow from the high-purity ore wall, and the bunches are as bright and charming as spar flowers, which makes people feel excited at first sight. Although they dug very hard, Qin Tian and they were not willing to give up at all, in order to prevent the people of the Mining Alliance from discovering the situation here, they deliberately disguised themselves at the entrance of the cave, and deliberately returned to the original mine to rest during the rotation, so as to monitor the actions of the Mining Alliance and prevent anyone from sneaking in.
After exchanging ores with Qin Tian, the ram servant returned to the base camp of the Mining Alliance, which is a very private place, the space here is very spacious, in addition to the hall for deliberations, many independent rooms have been opened up for the high-level living and living of the Mining Alliance.
After the ram servant returned here, he went straight to a well-decorated room, in addition to the alliance leader Zhong Limo, there was also a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a wide-sleeved robe.
The ram servant bowed to the two and said, "Alliance leader, master, the old servant has already done what you have to do!"
"Oh, what did that Qin Tian say?" asked Zhong Li Mo first.
"Qin Tian, they plan to exchange those ores for a batch of medicines, and all the rest for grain. ”
"All for food except for medicine?"
"Yes! Qin Tian said that they didn't want to be disturbed often, so they changed a little more food in case they needed it. ”
"Don't want to be constantly disturbed?"
"Yes, Qin Tian also set the time for the next exchange to be half a month later. ”
"Half Moon?" the man in the wide-sleeved robe finally confirmed.
"Yes, sir!"
"You repeat Qin Tian's reaction at that time. ”
"Yes, sir!" the ram servant then repeated the details of the exchange with Qin Tian.
When it came to Qin Tian eating the bread without care, the man in the wide-sleeved robe asked again, "Did he really swallow the bread without hesitation?"
"Yes, the old servant saw it with his own eyes!"
"Ram, what do you think about this?" asked Zhong Limo as well.
It turned out that this man in the wide-sleeved robe was the deputy leader of the Mining Alliance, Gong Yang Shen, he touched the short beard on his chin and said, "Whether Qin Tian is really ignorant or he did it on purpose, at least he has shown an attitude, that is, he still has a certain degree of belief in us." It's good for both of us. ”
"That'...... Do you want them to be involved in that event?" asked Zhong Li Mo pointedly.
"No! It's better not to reveal the slightest rumor about that incident, so as not to cause any extraneous complications! We are now focusing on stability, and we must not let an accident ruin our original plan. The ram rejected the suggestion without even thinking about it.
"That's what I thought, otherwise how could I have given them such good veins, but what if they followed?"
"Leave them alone, let's go our separate ways and let them fend for themselves. But now we must send someone to keep an eye on them, lest they spoil our business. Ram Shen specially admonished.
"Don't worry, I have already arranged for Liu Da to keep an eye on them. It's just that I've been always restless lately, Ma Jun is ruthless, and he is by no means a credible person, so let's not follow his way!"
Ram Shen looked at the solemn expression on his old friend's face, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he pinched his chin and thought carefully for a few times, before he sighed and said: "Alas! I also know that Ma Jun's madman can't be trusted, but what can be done? Now that the situation is stronger than people, we are all prisoners under the ranks, even if we know that there is a pit in front of us, can we let go of this opportunity in vain?"
"I also know that I can't miss the opportunity, and I am afraid that I will not come again. It's just that our own preparations are sufficient to deal with the next possible situation, and is it useful for Ma Jun's followers?"
"Things haven't happened yet, then everything is possible!We can only do our best to know the destiny of heaven, whether we can succeed or not depends on the heavens!" said Ram Shen with a helpless face.
"Then look at the heavens!" Zhong Li Mo also knew that his old friends had done their best, and whether they succeeded or not did not depend on themselves, they could only depend on fate.
At the same time, in the main hall of the garrison camp in the mining area, Ma Jun was quietly listening to the report of his subordinates.
"My lord, the newcomers really clashed with the people of the Mining Alliance, and in the end, even Zhong Li Mo took action in person!"
"Oh, how did it turn out?"
"Listening to the traitor's report, Li Mo finally won. But the strange thing is that Zhong Li Mo actually didn't kill Qin Tian's group, but instead gave Qin Tian a good dark iron vein to Qin Tian and them, this is really incomprehensible?"
"Oh, which of the Xuantian ore veins did Zhongli Mo give to Qin Tian and them?"
"Vein Four!"
"Four? yes, I see. What's the situation?"
"My lord, the locations of the twelve dark iron veins found by the Mining Alliance have been clearly explored, but the specific situation of those forbidden places has not been found at all. Our spies have been blocked several times when they approached, and if it weren't for someone to help cover it up, I'm afraid they would have found out the clues. The person who reported said with anxiety in his heart.
"Didn't come out?" asked Ma Jun's voice a little cold.
"Adult, forgive me! The villain should die!" The person who reported the report was already frightened, Ma Jun was moody, and many people were tortured and killed by him just because they made a little mistake, and I am afraid that they will not escape this time.
Looking at the frightened and trembling subordinates in front of him, Ma Jun first snorted coldly and then said: "Even if you don't know each other and don't make quibbles, for the sake of you doing things for me for many years, I will forgive you this time." It's just that I don't want a next time, do you hear me?"
"Thank you for not killing! Thank you for not killing! The villain must have died for the adult!" The man was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him loudly.
"I hope you remember what you said today, and if you dare not move when the time comes to make your move, then I will fulfill you with my own hands!" Ma Jun looked at him with a sneer.
The man shuddered and squeezed out a flattering smile and said, "My lord, the villain must only look forward to the adult, and you can just tell the adult if he has something." ”
Ma Jun gave him a noncommittal look, then waved his hand to let him out, and the man was relieved and fled as fast as he could for his life.
Watching his subordinates leave in a panic, Ma Jun showed a deep smile, he glanced at the vein map drawn by the spy and handed over, and the smile on his face seemed to become deeper.
Ma Jun left the garrison hall and came to the Xuantie workmanship. The heat was scorching, and the boiling heat wave made people dare not approach easily, but Ma Jun entered the interior without paying attention and came to a huge furnace.
At this time, in addition to the many busy craftsmen next to the furnace, there was also a middle-aged man in a purple robe with a grim face.
Ma Jun came to this person and bowed his head and bowed, "Lord Steward, what you have ordered to do has been done. The locations of the twelve dark iron veins in the hands of the Mining Alliance have all been explored. The map is here, please take a look. With that, Ma Jun handed the map in his hand to Cai Yanzhong.
As the supreme person in charge of the entire mining area and the real power elder of the Cai family, Cai Yanzhong has always been consistent in speaking in the mining area, and even Ma Jun, the chief of the garrison in the mining area, does not dare to have the slightest disrespect in front of him.
Cai Yanzhong looked at the boiling black iron flowing from the furnace in front of him, glanced at the map handed over by Ma Jun again, and then said with a happy smile on his face: "Ma Jun, how many years have you and this manager been here?"
"It's been five years, Master Hui!" replied Ma Jun respectfully.
"Yes! It's been five years! I haven't dared to relax for a single day in the past five years, and now I've finally done the same. You see, this imitation has been able to smelt the dark iron ore in batches since last month, and now that the dark iron vein has been in hand, we will be able to produce a large amount of dark iron in the future. There is a credit to you, and I will report to the above to help you save a suitable exercise so that your strength can continue to improve. Cai Yanzhong said happily.
"Master Xie cultivates!" Ma Jun showed a look of great joy on his face, and hurriedly thanked.
"Well, as long as you work hard for our Cai family, our Cai family will not treat you badly, you go down!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Ma Jun came out of the imitation, the smile on his face gradually faded and turned into a mocking color.
