Chapter 459: Ore Veins
Ore veins?" Mr. Wan's eyes flickered, "I haven't heard of any ore veins. ”
"Really?" Su He narrowed his eyes and stared at Mr. Wan, although he was not sure if the two ore veins were related to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and his previous remarks were completely to test it, but looking at Mr. Wan's reaction, he had a faint feeling that the other party must know something, even if he was not the owner of the ore vein, he must be the one who knew it.
"Pretending to be crazy and stupid doesn't work with us. The griffon stared at Mr. Wan and said, "The Empire cares a lot about those two veins of rare metals, so if you know something, you should say it in the end, otherwise it may affect our cooperation." ”
Mr. Wan looked at Suhe and then at the griffin with a gloomy face, and finally could only sigh, if it was possible, he would definitely not easily tell the secret of those two mineral veins, but now it is bound to be strong, and he has to bow his head: "I do know some of the situation of those two pieces of mineral wool, but my knowledge is limited. ”
"Tell me about it. Su He asked, staring at Mr. Wan.
"Those two veins belong to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and they are indeed our assets. Mr. Wan explained, "It was first discovered and mined by our chamber of commerce. ”
"Sure enough. Su He muttered in his heart, he had suspected the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce before, but he didn't have any evidence to prove it, but now that Mr. Wan has admitted it, he will save a lot of trouble.
However, Su He also had some emotion in his heart, he had spent a lot of effort before and couldn't find out the news of the two ore veins, but now he can get some important news just by asking, and the difference between before and after is really a bit big.
"Go on. The griffin looked at Mr. Wan and urged, his task is to find out the source of those rare metals, at this time he is very concerned about this information, Mr. Wan pauses slightly, he will open his mouth to urge the other party to hurry up and continue.
"Although these two rare metal veins belong to our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, I don't have enough authority to control them. Mr. Wan said helplessly, "To put it bluntly, we are only responsible for guarding those two ore veins, and we have no other powers." ”
"So how much do you know about the transportation and trading of ore veins?" the griffin then asked, the specific transaction matters were what he was most concerned about, that is, not long ago, a batch of rare metals of astonishing value suddenly poured into the market of the Dragon Heart Empire, causing a lot of commotion, and rare metals are actually materials controlled by the state, and they cannot be traded and traded without the permission of the superiors, and if they are discovered, the crime is very serious.
Therefore, when the Dragon Heart Empire noticed this batch of rare metals of unknown origin, it immediately sent many teams to investigate, and the griffin team was one of them, he relied on various evidence to analyze and judge, and finally concluded that this piece of metal should come from Chaos City, so he came here with a lot of luck, but was caught up in a bigger chaos.
"Some, but not all trading news is mastered. Mr. Wan said with some caution, "To put it bluntly, there are not so many transactions going on, although it sounds like two rare metal veins are a great fortune, but in fact, the rare metals actually mined in it are very limited, and we can't make much money if we really pull them out and sell them, and we don't plan to sell them all." ”
"Why?" Mu Xuanyi said suddenly, and as soon as he spoke, he immediately reacted, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
Xiao Lin kicked Mu Xuanyi with his foot, and warned this kid not to intervene at this time, just listen honestly.
"Rare metals aren't valuable because they're rare. Mr. Wan was not angry when a child interjected, but patiently explained, "If we invest too many rare metals in the market in one go, it will affect their value, so even if we control the ore vein, we will not sell too much, and most of them are kept by the Chamber of Commerce itself." ”
"I see. Xiao Lin muttered in a low voice, causing Mu Xuan on the side to roll his eyes violently, this kid didn't know the result and was embarrassed to kick him.
"Where are the two veins?" asked the griffon, who was determined to get to the bottom of everything about the two veins.
"If we can come to a cooperation agreement, I can show you around. Mr. Wan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, a businessman is a businessman, and he is still thinking about bargaining at this time, turning passive into active.
"Are you talking to us about the conditions?" Su He narrowed his eyes and stared at Mr. Wan coldly.
"Just take what you need. Mr. Wan said lightly, "Everyone has their own goals and plans, and only by helping each other can we achieve win-win cooperation." ”
Su He glanced at the griffin, this matter still has to be decided by him, after all, the Tianxiang Empire did not ask him to investigate the two veins, whether to accept Mr. Wan's conditions or not, at this time it is completely up to the griffin, the key depends on what kind of attitude he has.
"Yes. The griffon thought for a moment, then nodded, "However, you have to take us to see the vein first, or the partnership will not be established." ”
Mr. Wan lowered his head and muttered for a while, he was also worried that the griffins would regret it after they saw the ore vein, but thinking that the other party was a high-level ability from the four empires, his heart was full of arrogance, and generally speaking, he would not do that kind of thing to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and at this moment, the two sides of Suhe were obviously understaffed, he still had value, and the other party would not give up the power of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce so easily.
"Okay, when will you go?" said Mr. Wan after thinking for a while and nodding.
The griffin looked at Sukh and then chuckled and said, "Now!"
The City Lord's Mansion, the underground stronghold, the one-armed officer stood on a high platform, watching the abilities below shuttle back and forth, making all kinds of preparations, and the farthest place was a huge light curtain, the deep hole behind the light curtain was quiet, and from time to time there were white mist floating out of the hole, silently falling on the light curtain, rippling one after another.
"Are Tianshui Zhu ready, hurry up!" the one-armed officer urged, "And how is the defensive formation arranged? The enemy may attack at any time, and we must be fully prepared." ”
"The Heavenly Water Bead is still partially recharged, and it will take more time. A capable man walked quickly up to the one-armed officer and reported quickly, "The defense circle is mostly complete, and there are still some final finishing touches. ”
"Be quick. The one-armed officer urged, "Time waits for no one, we have been planning for this day for a long time, and we cannot afford to miss it." ”
"Yes. The capable man replied and walked away quickly.
"My lord!" a capable man rushed in from outside the door and approached the one-armed officer in a hurry.
"What's wrong? panic!" rebuked the one-armed officer.
"Report to my lord, we were setting up a defensive circle when we suddenly found a piece of rare metal. "Then we felt something was wrong, so we dug a little further in that direction, and found that there was a strange vein there, not far from our base base. ”
"Huh?" the one-armed officer's face changed, "Strange veins, very close to us?"
"Yes. The capable man whispered, "And we can sense a strong aura flashing in that vein, and it is estimated that someone is already mining." ”
"Maybe it's one of those two veins of rare metals. The one-armed officer muttered in a low voice, "You keep going, but be careful not to get their mind struck, and don't slow down the progress of the defensive circle, and I'll be there later." ”
"Yes!" the capable man replied and quickly left, leaving the one-armed officer alone with his head bowed in contemplation, his eyes shining with a strange light, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Maybe I can prepare a surprise for them." Then he quickly got up and left.
"Haven't arrived yet?" Su He asked, looking at the yellow sand and smoke in the distance, staring at Mr. Wan, they had been rushing towards one of the rare metal veins since they left the Order Auction House, but time passed by minute by second, and they still hadn't reached their destination.
"Come on, just ahead. "Soon you will see a barricade ahead, which we have set up to prevent idlers and others from entering." ”
"You're very cautious. The griffon whispered.
"The barricades are just the first line of defense, and there are all kinds of measures such as illusion circles behind them. Suhe chuckled and said that they had already learned about this when they went to a mine to explore before, but they didn't run into roadblocks, so they guessed they were going back to another place.
"Qingshuang Sword knows a lot, and has explored these two veins before. Mr. Wan smiled, "Speaking of which, not long ago, a group of workers fled, and I deliberately sent capable people to chase and kill, and it is said that one person escaped in the end, so I guess I met you." ”
Sukh smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, and pointed to the distance and said, "I saw the barricade." ”
Xiao Lin and the others looked up, there was a road that extended down on the desolate land, the terrain on both sides was getting higher and higher, and that road was leading deeper and deeper, and there was a heavily guarded checkpoint on the road, and there were many capable people guarding here, guarding every move around.
"It's me. Mr. Wan's figure fell in front of the barricade, took out a token and shook it at an capable person, "Open the door, let's pass." ”
"Your Excellency, you're here. A capable man rushed from a distance and hurried to Mr. Wan.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Wan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked quickly, "What happened?"
The capable man looked at the Su He people behind Mr. Wan, but they didn't speak at the first time.
"It's okay, you just say it. Mr. Wan waved his hand and said, they are now in a cooperative relationship, and he doesn't want to make Su He and the others feel uncomfortable, so he generously let them listen.
"The defensive circle set up around the ore vein suddenly sounded not long ago, and a lot of spiritual power fluctuations penetrated into us, sensing us, and also from below, the location of our ore vein may have been exposed. The capable man said with some concern.
"Exposed?Also from below?" Mr. Wan was startled, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, he turned to look at Su He and the others, "Let's go over and have a look together." ”
"Lead the way. Sukh nodded in response.
"Let's go. With a wave of his palm, Mr. Wan motioned for the capable person to lead the way ahead, and after the group passed the barricade, they quickly swept towards the depths of the ore vein, and their figures quickly disappeared into the distance.
