Back at the Tower of Time, Nia and Shado arrive at the lab, wondering if what they had found was a Mithril Mine.

However, after taking out the stone sample, Xia Duo did not continue, but asked Nia, "Are you coming or am I coming?" ”

"I'm coming!"

Almost without any hesitation, Nia agreed, with this opportunity to verify it herself, how could she miss it!

As for the verification method, if it was in the past, it might have been more troublesome, but now, Xia Duo has already bought the Mithril refining method from the Sevington Council, and as long as he refines it, it is easy to get the result.

Under the gaze of Xia Duo, Nia first cast a protective spell against heat on herself, and then skillfully activated the alchemy circle, throwing a pile of silver ingots teleported by Taling into the alchemy circle.

Unlike large-scale refining, which may also require the construction of a smelting furnace, it is enough to use an alchemy circle for a small amount of refining.

And compared to ordinary furnaces, the alchemy circle can be more stable and easier to keep the sterling silver in a molten boiling state.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the silver ingots in the suspended field above the alchemy circle began to heat and soften, and after a while, they completely turned into a mass of liquid glowing red.

Soon, the molten silver liquid began to boil, and Nia threw the stone sample that Xia Duo had retrieved into it.

Then it's time to wait.

The boiling liquid sterling silver will gradually soak into the sample, and if it contains Mithril, it will form [Sterling Silver Mithril] lumps, if not, then there will be no such special lumps that are not difficult to identify.

While waiting, Nia asked Shado, "What are you going to do if it's Mithril?" ”

"Of course it was when nothing happened!" Xia Duo gave such a reply directly.

"Why? Didn't it mean that before the establishment of the Northland Alliance, the Mithril agreement between Nessreel, Yerlan, and Danzo had been re-signed? None of the Mithril Mines we found in the future need to be handed over to Danzo to operate! ”

"Isn't it because of this, remember Lord Rodney?"

"Lord Rodney?"

Even though the two sides are no longer hostile, and even allies to some extent, Nia still doesn't have much of a good look on her face.

Who told Lord Rodney to stake in the Green Bead Forest that the Savile family had been combing for decades as soon as he came! Everyone has an idea.

And Xia Duo understands that although the current Lord Rodney has given up, once the Mithril Mine is exposed, who knows if he will come out again, of course, he must be the only one.

At that time, the Green Bead Forest will inevitably come to the cusp, and troubles will continue one after another.

You must know that whether it is the Savile Territory or the Great Xia Territory, they only legally occupy the developed area, no matter how much the Savile family has paid for the Green Bead Forest, as long as it is not developed, it is not considered to be occupied.

Now the development order is particularly easy to apply, as long as the mainland lord applies for a development order, you can enclose land when you come to the Green Pearl Forest.

Even if he directly occupies the discovered Mithril Mine, it is difficult for Xia Duo's side to respond much, at most it is to retain part of the ownership, and it is impossible to keep all of it.

Of course, that's not the point, just a Mithril Mine is gone, and the point is that it will disrupt Shador's plans for the development of the South.

If all the outsiders around the Great Xia Collar are occupied, then how can he develop, and really want to move all of them to the Floating City?

Not to mention so many outsiders, countless pairs of eyes are staring at the southern realm, he will be restrained in whatever he wants to do, Xia Duo has not forgotten, there is still a time bomb in the territory now!

Maybe when Atwood's mastery of the new natural holy power was discovered by the elven main god, and then directly started the divine war, it would be too unlucky.

"So, whether it's Mithril Mine or not, we can't make a noise, as if this never happened!"

"If that's really Mithril Mine, don't we want it?"

"How is that possible! It's just that there is no need to rush to develop it now, although the Tower of Time lacks Mithril, it is more of a lack of long-term strategic reserves, and it is still very generous for daily use. Xia Duo said with a smile.

At present, the Tower of Time can still buy Mithril from the outside, especially now after the update of the Mithril Agreement of the Three Kingdoms, Mithril control is almost useless, as long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want.

Who says mineral deposits have to be exploited immediately!

It's okay to know that there is there, first use someone else's home, your own home as a strategic reserve, in case you can't get supplies from the outside world one day, those mineral deposits are the best hole cards.

However, on the bright side, it is also important to maintain a certain mining foundation, at least to maintain a group of mining experts who act as instructors at critical moments.

"There are only weak points in the leylines near the territory, just let the task management office issue a task to find the veins, the mines in the Green Bead Forest can't be developed now, and it's still okay near our own territory."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Xia Duo could hear that Niya's mood was still a little low, but he couldn't say anything comforting, just reminded: "It's almost time, see the reaction results." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot."

At the mention of sample testing, Niya suddenly came to her senses, only to see that she quickly picked out a pile of solid residue from the sterling silver liquid, and then directly used the alchemy circle to quickly cool it.

After careful selection, a smile finally bloomed on Nia's face, she pinched a small piece of black solid, held it up in front of Xia Duo, and said excitedly:

"Look, is this a [Sterling Silver Mithril] lump?"

Although it is a question sentence, it reveals an extremely affirmative tone.

Xia Duo took the small piece of black solid from Nia's hand, and after a little inspection, he determined that it was a [Sterling Silver Mithril] lump.

After that, as long as it is fired separately, the temperature is controlled, and the sterling silver liquid is filtered out, and the crude Mithril can be obtained.

"Heaven Descends"

"It's Mithril!" Xia Duo said calmly.

But it is also difficult to hide the joy in his tone, if you can find a Mithril vein in the Green Pearl Forest, you may find a second, third, or even more!

Speaking of which, this Green Bead Forest is really a treasure land, in addition to the forest itself, the ruins of the Lost Lock, the ruins of the Saruk Witch, and the Mithril Mine have been discovered one after another.

Of course, if you count the totem pole that Savile left on the Wolf God Mountain, there are even more treasures!

So, what else can you find next?

Xia Duo looked forward to it.

……

After determining that there were indeed Mithril veins in the Green Bead Forest, Xia Duo made several Mithril Vein Detectors almost overnight.

Unlike the [Leyline Detector], which can only rely on the user's own judgment, the Mithril Vein Detector made by Xia Duo integrates the echo feedback characteristic model of the Mithril Vein that he has summarized.
