After confirming the entrance, the two compilers recorded the coordinates of the location in detail on the map, as well as the route they had taken.

At this point, the investigation mission has come to an end.

Everyone stayed away from the area, and after resting and recovering their strength, they returned to the star stronghold on the pterodactyl.

Gail wanted to bring Gaba back with him, entertain him well, and reward him for his hard work in the past few days, but Gaba was the leader of a tribe after all, and it was impossible for him to leave for too long, so he had to give up in the end.

After returning to the stars, Anhill and the two compilers immediately went to find the commander-in-chief and report the information obtained from the investigation mission.

The alcohol trio ran to the tavern without stopping.

Not drinking is already the limit of what they can do, and it is impossible to say that they are completely abstaining.

Feng Ying happily counted her harvest.

On the last day of investigation, they found several places where the gold flakes were scattered, and although the gold collected had to be shared with seven or eight people, the final harvest was still good.

All smelted can be sold for a lot of money when gold is sold.

In the end, Anhill couldn't bear to trap her to death, and asked her to sell these special alloys that looked like gold to the processing house, and then pay him back in cash.

Feng Ying was shocked by her previous stupidity, and hurriedly ran to the processing room to have it identified.

The composition of these fragmented gold is very inconsistent, some of them look golden, but the gold content is small, the alloy properties are not good, and the price is similar to that of iron ore.

But there are also cases where the quality is extraordinary, and a palm-sized alloy is sold for nearly 100,000 Z high prices.

Settled in bits and pieces, the final selling price is almost twice that of purifying and selling gold.

If Anhill hadn't let her go, she wouldn't have imagined paying off nearly a third of her debt in one fell swoop like she is now.

As for the remaining two-thirds, Feng Ying is not worried, the entrance to the Golden Township has been found, and she is afraid that she will not find the gold?

She can't wait to get rich.

After another two days, after the craftsmen and scholars had completed their analysis of the composition of the gold they had brought back, and the team that had gone to the Great Ant Mound Wasteland to "hunt for treasures" had returned with gold and information, the Commander-in-Chief convened a meeting.

"Further investigative action against the Brilliant Dragon has been confirmed." The first sentence of the commander-in-chief's opening made the hunters present stunned.

Now that it has been decided, what is the purpose of this meeting?

"So, is there anything special about it?" Gordon, who is the leader of the investigation team, did not participate in the previous investigation mission, but because of Feng Ying's verbosity, he knew a lot.

"We found this among the gold fragments that the hunters brought back." The commander-in-chief took out a piece of metal that was roughly triangular in shape and no more than four or five square centimeters in size and placed it on the command platform.

Gordon picked up the piece of metal and glanced at it to make sure, "This is a man-made object, it should be a fragment of the blade of some kind of weapon?"

Was it the Investigation Team, or was it left behind by orcs like the Odd-Faced Clan? ”

"It's not." The head of the second phase of the delegation, who rarely participated in the meeting, shook his head and denied, "It was wrapped in a piece of gold, and we only discovered it after we separated the yellow finance." ”

"Wrapped in gold?" Anhill asked confirmatively.

"Well, after research, it was confirmed that this weapon fragment does not use our current forging skills, and the technical level is very high, and it should not be the work of the orcs.

We speculate that it may have come from an ancient civilization, and only then can its existence be explained. ”

"Ancient civilizations? There are traces of ancient civilizations in the New World?! Alva looked particularly excited.

As a student of that professor, he also studied the history of ancient civilizations quite deeply.

The leader of the research team held his glasses and said: "This is what makes us feel strange, in the nearly half a century since the investigation team came to the New World, we have not found any relics or remnants of ancient civilizations.

This fragment of the weapon is the only specimen we have found so far.

However, since it appears with the gold of the Radiant Dragon, it may be easier to explain.

The ruins of ancient civilizations are deep underground, places we can't reach, and the Radiant Dragon, which wanders in the depths of the leylines, may pass through those ruins, so there are weapon fragments and gold attached to it. ”

"A relic from the ancients." Anhill touched the [Ark] on his body.

Speaking of which, his armor was also dug up from Lateau Volcano and then repaired with the materials of the Celestial Dragon.

"That's it." Alva's spectacle lenses reflected the light, "The degree of criticality of the follow-up investigation against the Brilliant Dragon and the so-called 'Golden Township' is different. ”

It is no wonder that the commander-in-chief came up and set the tone of "the investigation action is confirmed".

The guild's support for the investigation of ruins such as ancient civilizations and prehistoric civilizations is very strong.

There are many reasons for this, not to mention the most basic things such as digging talismans, as well as the acquisition of knowledge of certain taboo existences, the extraction and restoration of ancient techniques, and so on.

It is said that many of the techniques used by hunters come from the analysis of the technology of ancient civilizations, such as the "bottle" used to store energy.

That thing and modern human machines are obviously two different technological routes.

Gordon's brow furrowed, and at this point in the meeting, the nature and focus of the Brilliant Dragon's investigation mission had changed.

It's not like sending a team of high-ranking hunters to investigate once or twice and get results.

The entire investigation cycle can take months or even longer.

Sure enough, the commander-in-chief spoke, "In general, as originally planned, in the next period of time, we will send multiple investigation teams in the form of free missions to enter the cracks in the ground many times.

The objectives of the investigation include the ecology of the Radiant Dragon, clues to the energy cycle of the leylines, and possible ruins of ancient civilizations. ”

Speaking of this, the Commander-in-Chief paused and looked at Gordon, "Survey squad leader, I hope you will convey this signal to the hunters.

What the investigation team and guild need is 'knowledge' and 'information', and as for the treasures found during the investigation, the relics of ancient civilizations, etc., after the scholars have extracted the information, they will all be settled and returned.

In that case, it should be able to arouse everyone's enthusiasm, right? ”

Gordon tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Commander-in-Chief, I don't think you should be worried about a lack of enthusiasm, but whether everyone will not have enough people to complete other tasks if everyone runs out to explore the treasure."

Why don't you do it in batches, such as three or four teams in one batch, and wait for the next batch if the number of applicants is full. ”

The commander-in-chief was a little surprised when he heard this, "It's just that there is more news that there may be relics of ancient civilizations, how much will the enthusiasm of the hunters increase?" ”

After eyeing Anhill, Gordon couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Commander-in-chief, gold treasures, digging weapons, and talismans, etc

Even if it was just an illusory possibility, it was enough to provoke the young hunters to squeeze their heads out into the cracks. ”

Anhill also spread his hands and said, "You can ask the 'Leader of the Fifth Phase', Miss 'White Wind', her ideas should be able to represent the opinions of most young hunters. ”

The commander-in-chief looked over and saw that Feng Ying's eyes were shining.

"Commander-in-Chief, is there a time limit for the free investigation mission? Can I bring a few more pickaxes and live underground for two years? ”

Ps.

Here's an explanation.,There are no ancient ruins in the leylines in the game.,I'm going to expand and write it here.,Otherwise, I can't explain so many weapons on the Brilliant Dragon.,The investigation team hasn't fought with the Brilliant Dragon before.。

However, there won't be much content about the ruins, mainly as a background to rationalize the setting of letting the rich woman drop the digging weapon, as well as some . Introduction?
