Chapter 41: The Vein
Although the oak tree is relatively rare, it is not rare, and there are many of them in many large jungles on the mainland. The only thing that is special is that it is rumored that most of these trees are inhabited by beautiful tree spirits.
"It turned out to be an oak tree, no wonder it's a little familiar. Fafer touched the back of his head and smiled. Then his eyes seemed to glow red, and he said excitedly, "My lord, let's bring this oak tree back!"
When the oak leaves the ground for a day and a night, the dryads inside will die. Now I don't even know what position it is, so I ran around carrying this tree and got kicked in the head by a donkey!
Lei Ming rolled his eyes, turned and left. Now he just wants to find the precious minerals quickly and solve the financial crisis of the territory.
"There must be minerals around here! Hillman's cloudy old eyes flashed a glimmer of finesse, and he pretended to look around, shaking his head and following.
"My lord, thisβ" Fafer looked at Thunder's back, and then at the oak tree next to him. Hateful stomped his foot and followed.
Back at the camp, Lei Ming sat by the campfire and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Hillman, tomorrow I will trouble you to join us in an action to detect whether there are any minerals around." β
"It's my pleasure. Hillman folded his chest and bent down slightly, smiling bitterly.
He suddenly regretted a little, maybe he shouldn't have been in a hurry to advance, and the lord agreed to follow him after a little bewitchment.
Lei Ming's eyes were shining, and he seemed to have insight into his thoughts, and turned his head and said, "Fafer, you will carry Lord Hillman on your back tomorrow." β
Fafer raised his head in confusion, touched the back of his head, and said, "My lord, what did you just say?"
He was stunned for a moment, stood up in surprise, pulled his legs and left, and said, "My lord, you have finally agreed, and I will go." β
Lei Ming sighed and rubbed his aching eyebrows vigorously. If this guy was so focused on Douqi cultivation, he would probably already be a Sky Knight, and he hated iron and said, "Where are you going?" Viscount Ben just asked you to carry Hillman. β
Fafer's body stiffened, turned around, pointed at Hillman with trembling fingers, glared at him, and said, "Back this old guy?"
Hillman's smile just froze on his face, an old donkey's face was long, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Your Excellency Falfel, is there any problem?"
"Silence. Lei Ming interrupted the conversation between the two, his ears moved slightly, his eyes looked at the dense forest, his expression was thoughtful, and he secretly beckoned and said, "Fafer, follow me." β
He moved, and sprang out like lightning.
"Hillman University, let's rehearse in advance!" Looking at Lei Ming's departure from his back, Fafer sneered, strode over to Hillman, lifted it on his shoulder, and chased after him.
The wind howled, and Hillman felt a pinprick in his face, and his lips murmured, but he couldn't say a word for a while. Time seemed to pass incredibly long, and just as he felt like he was about to suffocate, Fafer finally stopped.
"Fafer, why did you bring His Excellency Hillman here?" The thunderous sound came into his ears, Hillman's eyes showed excitement, he gasped a few times, and stumbled: "Lead... Host... My lord, he ....... β
Fafer rubbed his nose and preemptively said, "My lord, it was the Hillman University scholars who cared about you and asked their subordinates to bring it over. β
"Is that so?" asked Lei Ming with a frown.
Hillman's face turned pale, he secretly glanced at Lei Ming, lowered his eyes, nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I took the initiative to ask for it." Not only to worry about your safety, but also to find out if there are any minerals nearby. β
"Your Excellency has a heart, since this is the case, then please explore the surroundings!" Lei Ming paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "No matter what the harvest of this trip is, Viscount Ben promises to give you ten thousand gold coins when he returns, and send Farfer to teach your grandson himself." β
"Master Xie. Hillman looked up and said with a grateful face.
He took a deep breath and carefully observed his surroundings. From time to time, he pinched a handful of dust to look at it, and his cloudy old eyes flashed with sharp light, not at all like an old man.
"My lord, Iβ" Fafer opened his mouth and bowed his head in shame.
"Don't say anything. Lei Ming waved his hand and said solemnly: "You are indeed a little impulsive today, Hillman is still very useful to me, and it is not good to offend him now." Remember, though, Fafer, that you are the most loyal knight of my Viscount Grant, and only I can dispose of you. Don't talk about such a trivial matter today, even if you get into big trouble in the future, as long as Viscount Ben can take care of it, he will never stand idly by. β
"Your Excellency. Fafer looked up suddenly, tears in his eyes. All this time, he just obeyed the knight's creed and guarded silently, like a shadow. It wasn't until today that he suddenly realized that his weight in the hearts of adults was so heavy.
The lord has supreme authority in his own territory, and he can decide whether he lives or dies. Gaining the trust of Lei Ming is equivalent to winning the gold medal of avoiding death. This is a privilege that countless knights have fought for all their lives, but cannot get.
"Your Excellency, you'd better come and have a look. Hillman shouted in a trembling tone.
Lei Ming frowned and strode over. Squatting down, curiously glancing at the exposed minerals. His expression was shocked, and he said with some uncertainty: "This is the Magic Stone Raw Ore?"
"Yes, sir. Hillman's face flushed and he almost dripped blood. Taking a deep breath, he said, "I wasn't sure at first, the open-pit magic stone mine is on top of the magic goddess, it's almost impossible. But when I looked around, I finally confirmed this guess. In my many years of experience, this is not only a magic stone mine, but the scope is quite large, and it is beyond imagination. There may be magic crystals inside, and maybe even the legendary magic heart. β
He clutched his pounding heart, fell to his knees, and prayed loudly to the goddess of magic, almost forgetting the god of faith, and his faith reached the level of piety. Hillman believed that it was a gift from the goddess of magic, and that only a goddess could have such power.
Lei Ming covered his face, he was a lot older, but he didn't expect his psychological endurance to be so fragile. An abnormal flush flashed across his face, and he whispered, "Fafer, dig together." β
He drew his long sword, poured his fighting qi into it, and stabbed it diagonally into the ground. The hard ground was as fragile as tofu, and the entire blade of the sword pierced into the earth. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and drew a circle. With a flick of the long sword, a huge block of mud flew to the side along with the original magic stone.
"My lord, I'll dig it!" said Fafer, stepping forward.
"No, we're going to dig down with all our might in one direction until we find the central area. Lei Ming didn't raise his head, and swung his long sword with all his strength, bringing out a sword shadow and drawing a huge passage.
