Although the two of them were at the pinnacle of gold, they were useless in the face of dense and layered ghouls, and after paying a terrible price, they were devoured by ghouls.

On the fallen corpses of Aragorn and Ledley, Leon discovers a glittering silver nucleus, as well as a dagger made of Mithril.

Mithril is a rare magical material that contains abundant elemental vein resources, the most precious of which is the Silver Mithril Ore, which is a key ingredient for crafting various magical weapons and armor.

When Leon first arrived in the city-state of Brusswayne, he found a few pieces of Mithril from the commercial district of Brusswayne, and as long as he spent money to buy them, he could exchange them for some Mithril recipes or craft blueprints.

However, the silver ingots are so cheap that few people in the league need them, and the purchasing power of silver coins is extremely poor, with few people willing to buy them except in some large cities.

Because silver coins are hard currency, there are no silver coins. of adventurers have a hard time surviving within the borders of the Alliance, especially in such wilderness.

However, if you have enough Mithril Ore and can craft Mithril recipes or craft blueprints, you can trade them for Silver to get more Mithril.

Mithril is extremely scarce, and the vast majority of indigenous countries on the continent of the world do not have Mithril mines.

Only some large silver or gold mines will store large quantities of Mithril, but these silver mines vary in quality, some pure, some filthy, and the reserves vary;

If you want to dig a silver mine, it is not enough to rely on manpower and machinery, you also need to know how to collect and smelt it, otherwise even if you dig up the entire silver mine, you may not be able to make up 10,000 tons of Mithril.

Therefore, in the minds of adventurers, silver coins are a more valuable treasure than gold - even a one-gram silver coin is easier to earn than ordinary gold bricks.

Leon has a lot of silver coin making technology and a river dedicated to collecting Mithril, but this lucrative profession is not suitable for public sale for the time being.

Leon walked to the edge of the square, observed his surroundings, and found that in the grass in the distance, a pair of dark green and red eyes were faintly revealed.

Ghouls are already active...

During this time, Leon would clean up the nearby ghoul lair every day so that they could no longer suck blood, but the effect was not significant.

Ghouls multiply so fast that even with Leon cleaning them up, ghouls keep breaking out of their shells and roaming the woods and bushes in search of food.

It seems that the only way to lure the ghouls to the northeast corner of Azeroth as soon as possible is to build a Mithril Mine Cave there.

Leon made up his mind and was about to return to the camp when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a team of fifty or sixty people, walking towards him.

At the head were two familiar faces—

The one on the left has long hair, wears a short dark blue robe, has a chain of bone beads around his neck, and carries a delicate sword inlaid with Mithril decorations.

Leon recognized the young paladin as one of the members of the mercenary group he had hired when he first arrived at Bruce Wayne, named Ollivander.

Ollivander followed the paladins south, passing through the town of Bernardes, where they were attacked by ghouls.

The young paladin, though brave and kind, was defeated in a frenzied killing by ghouls.

However, his luck seems to be good, and when he is seriously injured and dying, he runs into a priest.

The priest revived Ollivander, treated his injuries, and used a blessed light healing spell to restore Ollivander to health.

"Thank you." Ollivander solemnly grateful: "Your Excellency the priest, very powerful! ”

Leon smiled, "You're welcome. ”

Ollivanders' companion was a stocky young man, dressed in leather armor and with a spear hanging from his waist, with a solemn and taciturn expression.

Both are brass warriors and skilled in melee combat and defensive magic, but they are defenseless against ghouls.

Leon watched the two men and saw that their chests and arms were covered in scratches, their clothes were torn and their skin was scorched, and the muscles at the wounds were ulcerated, apparently bitten deeply.

Ghouls' saliva and toxins are so corrosive that even the flesh of a warrior can't hold it for long.

Leon knew that the wounds on the two of them were caused by the poisonous mist spewed by the ghouls, and the thick and thick black-purple miasma enveloped the venom, corroding the wounds, eroding the skin, and even the blood vessels, tendons, and bones were impregnated with the toxin, making them tough and fragile.

He stretched out his arms and pressed them against the young man's chest, inducing the magic to dispel the poisonous gas, while releasing a warm smell of potions.

The young man's originally dark and thin face gradually turned white, his lips gradually became rosy, his chest and abdomen swelled violently, and his breathing became rapid.

"Ahem... It's so comfortable, I'm really good...... Yes! ”

As soon as the young man's voice fell, his throat suddenly exploded, spurting out a large amount of jet-black blood.

Li Ang let go of his right hand and let the young man fall slowly, his cheeks twitching, his whole body spasming and trembling, his mouth wide open, like a boiled toad.

After a while, his head tilted, he lost consciousness, and passed out completely.

Leon frowned and stared at the young man's pale and shriveled corpse, wondering in his heart, the ghoul's toxin could cause the corpse to shrink rapidly?

At this time, the stocky young man next to him stood up, covered his throat, and coughed several times before he could catch his breath.

He looked up and nodded to Leon, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Li Ang waved his hand and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

The young man shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that the throat was stabbed by venom." ”

Leon nodded, didn't ask any more questions, turned and left, and walked down the path towards the northwest hillside.

On the hillside, a large number of boulders were piled up, forming a temporary camp.

Four rows of tents were set up in the center of the camp, and four burning wooden stakes were erected in the open space outside the tents, and a bonfire was erected.

By the campfire, the iron stove crackled, the flames jumped, and the heat waved

。

Around the campfire, groups of men and women gather to talk.

In the campfire, several half-orcs sat in twos and threes, looking embarrassed and stained with blood.

"I heard that a half-orc found a strange crystal nucleus in the forest this morning!"

"yes, I remember the tree was two meters tall, right?"

"Not really! You see, the nucleus is on the branch, and it looks pretty beautiful. ”

Several orcs chattered and discussed, and suddenly noticed Li Ang, Qi Shushu closed his mouth, and his eyes were vigilant.

Leon looked at them, smiled, and turned to walk away.

"Hey! That Terran brat! ”

A fat orc rushed over, stopped Leon, and said viciously, "What did you just throw into our campfire?" ”
