Chapter 14: Mining the Magic Crystal Ore
After a few days of preparation, it was finally time to mine the Magic Crystal Mine.
A large number of knights have surrounded the Magic Crystal Mine, and a large number of serfs have entered the mine.
Although the faces of these serfs were still numb, there was already some anger in their eyes, and it was obvious that the reward mechanism announced earlier had an effect.
Knowing that as long as a sufficient amount of ore was dug up, white bread, eggs, and even porridge could be obtained, and these serfs were full of motivation.
After watching this scene, Su Luo exhaled slightly, and the depressed feeling in his heart was relieved a lot, for the current serfs, food is indeed the best reward.
"Then let's do it first, there is no need to force the slaves to be freed, as long as these serfs are treated well, so that they can live a good life, it is also good." Su Luo thought in his heart, although he didn't want to become a real lord, he still had to be responsible for his people.
"It's their luck to be a serf of His Highness." Hausman sighed on the side, compared to other nobles, His Royal Highness is much more generous.
Su Luo's face became solemn, "Hausman, let the miners get to work!" ”
Soon, the order to start work was given, and as the serfs kept waving the iron manuscripts in their hands, there were bursts of knocking sounds, hitting the ground hard.
The hard ground was dug open, revealing the harder stone below, perhaps due to the influence of the magic in the Crystal Mine, which made the ground appear unusually solid.
Squeak, squeak, squeak-
Komatsu kept running around in the pit.
As the ground continued to be excavated, it immediately felt the energy fluctuations emanating from the pit below become more and more intense.
"Mining Magic Crystal Ore is much harder than you think...... Relying solely on manpower is indeed too inefficient. Looking at the miners below who were tapping the ground again and again, Su Luo sighed helplessly, and the picture of mechanical mining he had seen in his previous life came to his mind.
Unfortunately, he was not a science man, and he didn't know how to make mining machinery, even the simplest steam engine could not be built, although he had heard that the principle of the steam engine seemed to be boiling water.
"I really don't have the qualifications to become a lord." He sighed, fortunately he had the Beastmaster system, but it wasn't a complete waste.
Squeak, squeak!
At this moment, Komatsu seemed to feel something, and quickly ran towards the pit.
I saw that the little guy came to a serf's side and asked the latter to stop first, while Komatsu directly used a claw attack move, the energy wrapped the claw, digging quickly, relying on the full level of strength and claw attack moves, it dug up quickly, even the hard ground affected by magic was quickly dug up.
"Monster, it's His Highness's monster!"
"It's such a fast digging speed, it's really a monster!"
When the surrounding knights saw this scene, they couldn't help but admire, they also heard about the battle not long ago, and they were full of respect for their allegiance to His Highness.
Su Luo listened quietly, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, this world is extraordinary, and powerful magic can completely replace the power of science and technology!
Just like what Komatsu is doing now, if he can subdue a large group of monsters who are good at digging, can he replace those mining machines?
Squeak, squeak!
At that moment, Komatsu suddenly shouted excitedly, and at this time, through digging, it successfully dug out the magic crystal that it sensed!
Then, without any hesitation, it jumped back to the Beast Master, and put the magic crystal up like a treasure - Beast Master, add points!
"Magic Crystal!" Su Luo's eyes lit up.
[Low-level magic crystal, estimated to obtain 158 energy points]
At this time, the surrounding knights also reacted, and they all looked at the magic crystal in His Highness's hand, their eyes showed excitement, but after digging for a while, they found a magic crystal, and there must be a lot of magic crystals below!
Immediately, the overseers began to make the serfs work harder to mine, and at the same time constantly motivate the serfs with white bread, eggs, and porridge.
After getting the magic crystal, Su Luo didn't think much about it, and took Xiao Song to the temporary rest house that had been set up outside the magic crystal mine, intending to start absorbing the magic crystal.
Squeak, squeak!
Komatsu happily squatted to the side, his big round eyes showing anticipation, and he could finally add some more!
[Successfully absorb the magic crystal, energy +158, energy cap +1]
[Current Energy Value: 166/762]
Squeak, squeak!
Seeing Su Luo open his eyes, Xiao Song immediately stepped up, and at the same time, it kept searching in the tail like a treasure bag behind him, and quickly took out a silver coin and handed it over as if offering a treasure.
"Okay, I see, I'll help you activate the boss trait now." Su Luo sighed helplessly, although activating the boss trait now does not improve Komatsu's combat power much, but sometimes it is really necessary to respect the opinion of the pet beast.
As soon as the consciousness moved, you could immediately feel the energy in your body surging and quickly integrate into the chestnut squirrel's body.
Squeak squeak——。
Komatsu was stunned, feeling the energy fused into the demon core, and suddenly felt that his figure had undergone some kind of change, and a faint power unconsciously emanated from his body, and it faintly felt that this energy seemed to be uncontrollable.
This is the boss trait that can exert influence on weaker monsters of the same race, thus making them part of the race.
According to Su Luo's understanding, this trait seems to be similar to a passive move, and the monster itself does not seem to be able to control the opening of the trait very well.
"It doesn't seem to have changed, it should only work on monsters of the same clan." Su Luo looked at the chestnut squirrel that was jumping up and down and looked very excited, he sighed helplessly, and a smile appeared on his face - Xiao Song was happy.
Squeak, squeak!
Komatsu still felt the boss trait he had just acquired, and his face was eager to try.
"Perhaps, we can find an opportunity to go to the Dark Forest and see if we can use your boss trait to subdue a few younger brothers." Su Luo said with a smile.
Squeak, squeak!
Komatsu's eyes lit up, and his face showed a look of eagerness, and he couldn't wait to go to the Black Forest right away!
