Chapter 212: Collecting Ores
How can you not notice these strange creatures in the desert?
This old Golden Celestial Master didn't know much about Ace's reputation, because he was always on the go. At this time, he looked at Ace with a suspicious expression, not knowing what was so special about this young man of the same age as the prince.
At that moment, Ace turned to look back.
Alexander was immediately alert. He knew that Ace had a strong sense of perception and could detect movements that others couldn't detect.
Ace looked calm and said, "Here, there is more than one!" ”
Hearing this, the Old Touching Golden Heavenly Master shouted, "More than one! So what are we going to do now? ”
It turns out that there will be more than one monster nearby? How could he not be afraid?
The old Golden Heavenly Master can be said to be very experienced. In the past few decades of mining experience, the old gold master has seen anything. The beasts near the vein will act en masse. Because the strength of the alien animals that can occupy the veins is not too bad. These exotic animals are usually arrogant and have a strong sense of territory. They will never allow other creatures to approach.
Ace frowned, then suddenly disappeared in place. When he reappeared, he was already near the ore gable in the distance.
At this moment, two huge shadows suddenly appeared on the sunlit stone.
"It seems to be a magnet, and there is more than one?" A sighted miner couldn't help but exclaim when he saw these two huge objects.
Hearing his voice, the other miners couldn't help but stop working. Everyone's eyes are filled with fear and anxiety.
Alexander knew Ace's strength, so he was naturally not worried at all. He shouted to all the miners: "Keep working, don't worry! ”
Hearing His Highness's order, everyone looked at the old Golden Heavenly Master and waited for his order.
The Old Touching Golden Heavenly Master looked at the prince's calm expression. After thinking for a while, he nodded to the miners: "Go ahead, don't worry about these things!" ”
Seeing the old Golden Heavenly Master speak, the miners couldn't stop their work and had to continue their mining work.
These two giant magnetic demons were constantly moving in the northern part of the ore, and it seemed that all the rocks were like soft sand to them, and they could not affect their movements at all.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind the vein, which was deafening and even shook the entire vein.
This time, all the miners couldn't calm down. Including those soldiers who nominally needed to protect the mining team and the prince, they were also a little flustered at this time.
Seeing that his army was a little unstable, Alexander immediately shouted to Ace: "You guy, just two demonic beasts, don't tell me you can't deal with them, kill them quickly, so that everyone can continue to work!" ”
Ace turned his back to the crowd and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Then, he pressed his palm against the ore, and a silver light immediately pierced through the black magnet and shot behind the vein.
As long as you listen to the "bang" twice, the two magnetic demons fall to the ground in response, and they are lifeless.
A high-level monster that seemed to everyone to be very ferocious became so vulnerable in front of Ace.
"Is this really human? Isn't it God? The Old Golden Heavenly Master let out a low exclamation.
Alexander was not surprised by such a result. He turned to the Old Touching Golden Heavenly Master and said, "In my opinion, this guy is simply like a god!" ”
The old leader asked with a strange expression, "Your Highness, who is this person?" ”
Alexander said nonchalantly: "He? His name is Ace! ”
"Ace?" The old Golden Touching Heavenly Master was still confused.
Alexander glanced at him: "You have been running around for the past few years, and you don't know a lot of things. When you come back this time, you can go to the desert capital and ask about a guy named Ace. ”
Although he still didn't know Ace's reputation, he had just witnessed Ace's every move, killing two huge magnetic demons in an instant, so the old Golden Touching Heavenly Master's attitude towards Ace became very respectful.
At first, he was very dissatisfied with Ace and the prince's attitude. He thinks that Ace has no manners and dares to call the prince brothers.
But now, after witnessing Ace's strength, he realizes that Ace is powerful and terrifying.
Ace didn't return to the army after killing the two big guys in an instant, but used the space jump to go there.
When he reappeared, he had two black stones in his hands.
Ace threw two stones at Alexander: "Here you go!" ”
Alexander hurriedly grabbed them. He only felt that the two stones had a magnetic force, which was obviously taken from the magnetic demon.
The old man on one side stared at the two black stones with hot eyes. Know that if a magnetic core of this quality were sold in the desert capital, it would be able to sell it for a very high price.
But it was such a precious thing that Ace did not hesitate to give it to Alexander, without even blinking an eye.
Alexander looked at the magnetic core in his hand, then looked at the old golden celestial master next to him, and then handed him one of the magnetic cores: "Here you go." This is a reward for finding this vein this time. ”
The Old Touching Golden Heavenly Master looked skeptical: "Really, really? After saying that, he took it with trembling hands, looking very careful, for he feared that he would accidentally damage such a priceless treasure.
Alexander nodded, and then said: "As for the other piece, I will sell it at that time, and then all the miners involved in mining will be divided equally." ”
At that moment, the miners were cheering and laughing loudly, and suddenly they became more energetic.
"You can rest assured that all the creatures here are within my range of exploration. I can see the slightest change in the first place. Ace said to the old golden celestial master.
At this time, the old Golden Touching Heavenly Master had already regarded Ace as a god, and nodded again and again.
Over the next two days, the mining was progressing well, and Ace was relieved to see that the mining was nearing completion.
In the past two days, despite the fact that many desert monsters want to cause trouble, they are easily dealt with by Ace.
These prey are equivalent to sending dozens of magnetic cores of different masses. Alexander pledged to distribute the proceeds from the sale of these magnetic cores to all miners and their accompanying ores as an additional reward.
In this way, as long as Da Vinci prepares the Wind Demon Stone, they can start building the teleportation array.
Through the observation and getting along in the past two days, Lao Mo Jin Tianshi and Ace also understand each other better, obviously not as rusty as they were in the previous two days.
"Lord Ace, if all goes well, I think we can finish our mission ahead of schedule this afternoon." The old golden celestial master respectfully reported the situation.
Ace nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone has worked hard!" ”
Alexander pretended to be angry and said: "You won the hearts and minds of the people so quickly, what a good calculation." ”
Ace smiled and said, "You know very well that once my plan succeeds, it will be good news for your Yama Empire, won't it?" ”
Alexander couldn't say more when he heard this, because Ace was right. Once the Yama Empire has the teleportation formation, it can trade with many empires and armies in the Mandala Continent. The benefits of this are huge and long-term.
Mining is progressing well. At noon, the black magnets needed to build the transmission array were sufficient.
The miners piled up the sunlit stones, and Ace walked to the edge of the ore mountain and collected all the sunlit stones into the empty ring.
Now that the mission has been completed, everyone has decided to return to the desert capital early.
At the same time, Leonardo da Vinci was on his way to the desert capital.
In the ancient forest, there are many veins of wind magic stones, so it is convenient to mine. It only took a day and a half to mine the Wind Demon Stone that Ace needed.
This time, Leonardo da Vinci was not only in charge of transporting the Wind Magic Stone, but also brought bad news. Of course, Ace still needs to decide what to do next.
Leonardo da Vinci's strength is much worse than Ace's, so he can't use space jumps to come to the Yama Empire all at once. He needs to use it twice, with a break in between.
But even so, his speed was faster than that of a wind mage.
So, in less than a day, he entered the territory of the Yama Empire.
Along the way, there were many powerful people in the Yama Empire. They sensed his breath and wanted to intercept him, but they couldn't.
It wasn't until Leonardo da Vinci came to the desert capital of the Yama Empire that he was stopped by a local archmagician.
In fact, if Leonardo da Vinci was determined to break through, the local magicians couldn't really stop him. But considering the purpose of this operation, Leonardo da Vinci did not choose to break through in a hurry.
After informing the Grand Mage of his intentions, Leonardo da Vinci chose to wait outside the city, waiting for the guards to report back to the city.
Soon, the messenger received an order from His Majesty King Yama to open the city gates to welcome the guests.
However, no matter how affectionately the messenger invited him, Leonardo da Vinci did not enter the palace.
Leonardo da Vinci replied, "We should wait for our master to come back at the city gate." ”
Eventually, the messenger couldn't help but return to the palace to deliver the message.
Leonardo da Vinci jumped on the high walls of the desert capital and watched the scenery around him. The Earth Archmage guards him in the name of companionship.
As the sun went down in the evening, an army of thousands of men was arriving in the desert capital.
"What do you mean? The devil is on the move? Ace's face was incredible, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Leonardo da Vinci nodded: "According to the information discovered by the Thornrose Scouts, the demons have begun to move quietly again. Although their movements are very secretive, we can still find their tracks. ”
Ace asked in a low voice, "Why is that?" ”
Leonardo da Vinci replied: "The last war had a great impact on the savannah, and naturally caused serious casualties. However, those lonely souls who have not completely dispersed and are still roaming the grasslands have become the prey of some demons. ”
"Soul Obilis?" Ace asked with a frown.
Leonardo da Vinci nodded: "As far as the trail is concerned, it should be." ”
Ace fell silent. Leonardo da Vinci and Alexander were in no hurry to interrupt him, just waited quietly.
After a long time, Ace said: "After the war, we only focused on post-war repairs, but we forgot about such a thing. It's really a bit careless. Normally, if the dragon Gaia, as usual, was not affected by the war, those lonely souls would quickly disappear. But now, Gaia is injured! ”
"In addition, the war caused too many casualties for him to absorb in time."
After saying that, Ace thought for a while, and then said, "Now that things have happened, we can't change them." The priority now is to build the teleportation array as quickly as possible and then prepare for the next war! ”
After that, Ace turned to look at Leonardo da Vinci: "Did you bring everything?" ”
Leonardo da Vinci handed Ace a storage ring: "There are 25 tons of wind magic stones in it!" ”
Ace nodded in satisfaction. "Well, we shouldn't delay. Get ready to get started. ”
Afterwards, Ace asked Alexander, "Have you chosen a location?" ”
Alexander nodded excitedly, "I've already chosen." It's very secluded there. ”
Later, Ace and Leonardo da Vinci followed Alexander to a hidden canyon.
When the three of them arrived, His Majesty the King of the Yama Empire was already waiting here.
Ace said apologetically, "I'm sorry to keep Your Majesty waiting." ”
The king, who had always been known for his "majesty" in the Mandala Continent, unexpectedly showed a faint smile and waved his hand, "It's okay. ”
His Majesty the King was also pleased to see the success of the transmission array, as it could bring immeasurable benefits to the Yama Empire. How could this not make him happy?
Ace looked around carefully and saw that it was the intersection of two high walls. The terrain is open and flat and the view is excellent. And the cliff platform above your head is the airship platform of the desert capital. It is indeed a good choice to set the location of the transport array here.
The king pointed to the north and said, "From here there is a road that leads to the north gate of the desert capital." It would be very convenient if several other empires around needed to transport supplies through teleportation formations. ”
Ace nodded, "Alright, let's meet here!" ”
After saying that, Ace walked to the center of the clearing and said to the people around him, "Everyone take a step back. I need a lot of space to release all the materials! ”
Seeing everyone retreat into the distance, Ace took a deep breath and immediately spread out the 24 tons of wind magic stones and black magnets that had been prepared in advance.
Looking at the mountains of the two ores in front of them, the people around were stunned. When did so many ore piles end up here?
But Ace walked in front of the two piles of ores and stood there motionless, gesturing something in the air with his hands, and with the light, the color of the light kept changing, showing black and cyan at once, which exactly corresponded to these two ores.
The light and shadow grew bigger and higher, and finally it was higher than the cliff next to it.
Ace saw that it was almost done. He put his hands at his side and took a gentle step. The ore piled up began to fly towards the flickering giant phantom.
When these ores enter the array, they will disappear on their own, with many inconspicuous bright spots at the edges of the shadows.
These highlights, one black and one cyan, separate from each other and flutter around the frame.
If you have good eyesight, you can clearly see that those highlights are ancient and mysterious runes, shining with light, and they look delicate and divine.
As the ore disappeared into the virtual shadows, spiraling runes around it gradually formed. The moment the last piece of ore entered the formation, the people around them were in a daze. When they looked closely, they saw that everything in front of them had changed.
See a large disc that flashes with strange ripples, like a wall clock, hanging over the desert capital.
Between the ripples, there are stars, the sun, and the moon moving behind. The light shines through the blue ripples and looks magical.
Later, Ace came to the front of the gate again, his arm touching the ground, and a stone pillar rushed up with a dented gap at the top.
When Ace saw that the array had already formed here, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The king of the Yama Empire asked softly, "Is it over?" ”
Ace turned around and smiled, "Okay, the array here has been completed." As long as I go to the prairie and build the same teleportation array, you can use it normally. ”
After saying that, Ace took out a black and white compass, about the size of a palm, and emitted a halo of light. It is completely impossible to see what the material is.
He handed the sign to the king of the Yama Empire and said, "When you need to use this transmission array in the future, just put this array disc into the groove to activate the transmission array. Typically, the array will be dormant, saving energy consumption. ”
The king took the black and white compass with a big smile on his face.
"This array needs ore supply every four years or so to keep the array up and running," Ace said. Black magnets from the Yama Empire shouldn't be a problem. As for the Wind Demon Stone, there will be no problem when the transmission arrays in the two places are connected to facilitate the transportation of materials. ”
After everything was settled, Ace decided to take Leonardo da Vinci and leave immediately. After all, the steppe is too dangerous without his protection.
In the vast grassland, a figure flew by. The whereabouts of this man are strange and unpredictable. He ran as fast as a ghost. At first glance, it turned out to be a dark magician.
As he ran north, he kept looking back with a serious expression. It seemed that something was chasing him behind him.
As a dark magician, his perception is always keen, so his instincts are usually correct when he feels that someone is following him in the dark.
However, the Dark Mage can only vaguely detect its presence, but is unable to determine its location.
At this time, he was about to send back an important message to the headquarters of Ancient Star City. This message is very important and must be returned as soon as possible. Because of this, when he senses the breath in the dark, he will choose to move forward in a roundabout way, one is to find the location of the breath; The second is to hide your whereabouts and see if you can get away with tracking.
But running all the way from the south, he found himself unable to get rid of tracking the thing, which made him feel a little impatient. In particular, the other party's procrastination made him feel a little unpredictable.
The dark mage of Thorn Rose estimated the distance, and it should be half an hour before he could reach the base camp of Ancient Star City. But he can't guarantee that he won't be killed by that thing in half an hour.
He ran north, looking back from time to time. Somehow, he felt his heart beat faster and faster. He knew it was definitely not a good sign.
Suddenly, he felt his feet suddenly step into the air, and his whole body suddenly lost its center of gravity and fell forward.
He reacted quickly and just pushed forward to undo most of the impact. Immediately after landing, the top speed is used, and then the stealth is used to quickly blend into the surrounding environment.
As such, his movements are very clean, and it is clear that he is a veteran who has been honed for a long time and deserves to be the best agent of Thorn Rose.
Without such physical skill and strength, the task of delivering important information would not have been given to him.
After the dark mage stood still, he disappeared into the darkness and looked around carefully. But no suspicious person was found at all.
However, just now, a large part of the ground where he was standing had sunk. Obviously, someone set a trap first, otherwise, how could he not know?
A gust of wind blew, and the dark mage couldn't help but tremble. It's early autumn, and the wind on the prairie is already cold.
However, it was precisely because of his laxity that he put himself in a life-and-death dilemma. He felt a chill in the back of his head, as if something was about to pierce his head.
It was impossible for him to hesitate any longer, and immediately tore a prepared scroll of holy light magic scrolls, and a layer of yellow light suddenly appeared on his body.
Just listening to the crisp sound of "jingling", the talisman magic was immediately broken, and then the chill on his head disappeared.
Although he escaped a catastrophe, he was very sad because the magic scroll of this level was an amulet given to him by Snoopy. He always treats it as a treasure and does not intend to use it.
But this time, faced with a life-and-death decision, with an important mission on his shoulders, the spy who is highly respected by Snoopy now has to use.
Suddenly, on a piece of grass not far away, there was a shrill and unpleasant laughter: "Hey, hey, I'll see where else you can run this time?" ”
Shadow Mountain, the dark mage, looked around for a moment and spotted a thin figure in rags on the withered grass. He looked thin and thin, as if a strong wind could blow him away. :
The man was pale, like a dead man, and his body was filled with an inexplicable dead aura that made people feel frightened.
Ever since Kageyama was exposed, he stopped pretending. After removing the dark magic, he glanced coldly at the thin man not far away.
"Hehe, how do you want to escape?" The thin man said with a melancholy smile.
Kageyama sneered, but didn't answer. In his opinion, the man standing in front of him was just fooling himself. Because he probed, this guy's aura is not very strong, and his strength should be much weaker than his own. As for why this man is able to hide his whereabouts so well, it may have something to do with his natural aura.
Kageyama is always surprised and unprepared for things. He immediately disappeared into the same place, and the next second he appeared in front of the shriveled man.
The dagger in his hand stabbed his opponent in the heart without hesitation in an instant.
Kageyama instantly thinks that he should be able to kill the enemy unexpectedly, but when he sees that the short sword is about to pierce the man's chest, the man suddenly disappears.
His short sword stabbed into the air, and then his body was a little unstable. As he tries to stabilize his body, he is horrified to find a stinky head on his shoulder.
The skull turned its head and smiled coldly at Kageyama, "Giggles, I'm here!" ”
