Chapter Eighty-Six: The Cave
Seeing that Anna's pretty face flushed with excitement, Gervais smiled before turning around and stepping into the door of space first.
"Huh? And this terrain? ”
When Gervais stepped into the door of the space completely, he came to the mineral space in an instant, when Gervais fixed his eyes, he was a little confused, the terrain in front of him was actually mostly rocky cliffs, and there was a small entrance under the rocky cliffs.
"Master Gervais, have you found anything?" Because Nashen is relatively close to the door of space, he is the second person to enter the space, and when Nashen came to the space, he glanced around, and saw Gervais stunned, so he asked Gervais out loud.
"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect this kind of cliff terrain to exist in the space."
Gervais was indeed a little surprised, he thought that most of the terrain in the space was flat or slightly undulating, but he didn't expect that there were even mountain cliffs, which were exactly the same as the real world.
"Haha, Young Master Gervais, the space opened up by the elf insects is ever-changing, especially the space opened up by the golden elf insects, you are quite normal here, the terrain is actually not important, it mainly depends on what minerals there are."
After listening to Gervais's words, Nashen laughed, although such terrain is not common, but it is not rare.
Nashen walked forward to Gervais and continued: "I once heard Lord Gandalf say that the space opened by a nobleman's golden elf insect in the principality was actually on the seaside, half of the sea and half of the rocky beach, and after looking for a long time, he couldn't find any minerals, and the nobleman was so angry that he almost threw the golden elf insect into the sea, and this matter also became a joke for many nobles, but fortunately, the nobleman was also quite smart, he was located inland, and he even thought of boiling sea salt from seawater for sale, and he made a lot of money. That's how the losses were recovered. ”
"Haha, there's this kind of thing, that nobleman is really unlucky!"
Gervais listened to the second half of Nashen's words, and also laughed, an ordinary green elf insect starts with dozens of gold coins, and the price of the golden elf insect is only high, not low, but the mineral elf insect is like a gambling stone on the earth, and I don't know what minerals I can get before opening up space, it may be Mithril gold, or it may be a coal mine or other useless minerals that I have never seen, so the value of the golden elf insect needs to be determined by the minerals within the space.
The nobleman didn't know which big guy he had offended, and he encountered this kind of strange thing, even the most ordinary coal mine could make a steady profit, just a little less, and fortunately, he finally used seawater to make salt to return to his roots.
In the inland areas, sea salt is still very marketable, because the sea salt is white and clean, and the nobles pride themselves on being noble, even if the price of sea salt is high due to the inconvenience of transportation, they only recognize sea salt to eat.
"I hope the glorious guy can continue to cover me today!"
After laughing at the nobleman, Gervais became a little worried, his strange terrain is not very common, and the cliffs are almost half of it, is it a rock mine? But I'm not going to build a castle or anything, it's useless to use it, and no one buys it.
"Let's look around and see what mines are there!"
The more he thought about it, the more weak he became, so he quickly stopped his thoughts and began to walk inside, hoping that his luck would be better.
The area of this space opened up by Vale is not small, Gervais estimates that the space opened up by Betty is on par with it, but most of the area is occupied by steep rock walls, and the rock walls are more than 20 meters high, so Gervais can't climb up for the time being, and can only look for it in the open area under the rock wall, the open land is still dense with vegetation, and there are a lot of small trees and weeds, and Gervais and the others need to use their long swords to open the way while looking for it.
He didn't know how to find the ore, so he had to take a look around to see if there was any ore on the surface, and if not, he would dig into the ground later.
Gervais took the lead, Nashen and Anna followed, and the three of them looked around all the way, and from time to time Gervais took a long sword to cut off some weeds and trees, and as a result, he turned around for a long time, and searched the open area without any gain.
"Lord Nashen, have you found anything?"
Gervais's position at this moment had returned to the entrance of the space, and he had no clue but to ask Nashen to see if they had found it.
"Master Gervais, I haven't found anything, and I don't have any experience in finding ores!"
Na Shen shook his head helplessly, he can't even afford the elf worm, of course the experience in this area will not be richer than Gervais, as for the news about the elf worm, it is not a secret, it is all common sense, Na Shen has been a lord for more than ten years, and he can only teach Gervais a little bit if he is familiar with it, and he doesn't know anything about things in the space.
"Anna, what about you? Did you find anything? ”
Gervais looked back at the last little maid, and at this moment Anna was holding Vali's jade box and looking around curiously.
"Didn't find it, my lord!"
Hearing Gervais's inquiry, Anna shrunk her neck, blushed, and hurriedly answered Gervais's question, because she had not paid attention to the ground just now, but only looked at the surrounding environment, for fear that Gervais would blame him.
Getting Anna's answer, Gervais was not angry, Anna was not even a knight, and her five senses were not as strong as him and Na Shen, so even if you look closely, you may not be able to find anything.
"Do you want to start digging?"
After making sure that no one had found anything, Gervais began to think that since there was no surface discovery, it was only possible to be buried in the ground.
"Forget it, I didn't bring any tools, let's go to the cliff first."
Although he felt that the possibility of minerals being underground was very high, because there were no tools to prepare for excavation, Gervais planned to go to the cliff to check if there were any traces of minerals, especially since there was a cave there.
"Let's go over there and check it out."
Gervais waved his hand and gestured to Nashen and Anna behind him.
Aside from the low branches, Gervais took the lead to the edge of the cliff, in front of him is the entrance of the huge cave, the entrance of the cave is not much in the distance, I didn't expect to go closer to find that the space in the cave is very large, the terrain in the cave is deep underground, and the ground drop is three or four meters, but the road down is very gentle, with the light shining in from the outside, the situation inside can be seen clearly, this cave is at least the size of two basketball courts.
"Let's go inside!"
Seeing the scene inside, Gervais took the lead and walked in, the light inside was quite sufficient, and there were no creatures in the mineral space, so there was no need to worry about safety at all, Gervais directly entered the entrance of the cave and walked slowly down the gentle slope.
After arriving at the bottom of the cave, the whole cave is more empty, in addition to the bottom of the cave is mud, all around is rocks, the rock is quite flat, there is no strange stone craggy feeling, only the top hangs some large and small stalactites. There were a few droplets of water on the stalactites that fell to the ground from time to time, and there was a small puddle on the ground not far from Gervais.
Seeing such terrain, Gervais's heart beat wildly, and he had a faint guess, so he hurriedly came to the side of the puddle and squatted down.
