Chapter 37: The Battle of the Mineral Veins

In the evening, Neroth's huge griffon landed in the courtyard outside Kane's house, and some of the surrounding chickens who wanted to sneak here to feed were frightened by the behemoth and fled.

Kane asked the chef to prepare dishes for Nelus's arrival, this genius magician's name is extremely popular in the upper class, and Kani naturally knows that Kane is very powerful, but she didn't expect him to be so familiar with Nerich.

At the dinner table, Neroth changed his usual serious appearance in front of outsiders, and also made some small jokes to liven up the atmosphere like many young and romantic nobles, and everyone was amused by this genius mage who usually hides humor cells. Neros tells the crowd about his acquaintance with Kane. He recounted how the two of them had worked together to deal with the firedemon wizard that day, adding many fictional descriptions of the plot himself.

The battle of that day was terrifying, and everyone seemed to be drawn to the battlefield by his emotional narration, and saw how the wizard unleashed a huge fireball at them, and the overwhelming flames surrounded the two of them, and the tongues of fire burned the corners of their clothes, and the heat made them sweat profusely and make it difficult to breathe.

At the last moment, Neroth reacted quickly, and he saw that the flame wizard's magic had reached the point of exhaustion, and there was no chance to use the fireball. After seeing through everything, Neros proceeded to instruct Kane on how to deal with the wizard.

The wizard saw that he couldn't scare the two of them, so he immediately changed his plan, first showing weakness, and then tricking Kane into relaxing the police hand-to-hand combat, but he didn't expect that this wizard would actually be close to the tactics, but fortunately, thanks to Kane's sword skills were slightly higher, he had no power to fight back!

When the wizard saw that his general situation was gone, he did not dare to delay too much, and decisively used the means of escape to disappear in the same place.

Kane didn't debunk the guy because he still had something to ask him for, and Neroth was very sensible enough to praise him as well.

Arya makes no secret of her admiration for Kane, who has risen to another level in her mind. The others also gave their two warriors a heartfelt applause.

At night, large snowflakes fell outside, and the moon hanging high in the sky was only half obscured by dark clouds, emitting a faint moonlight that reflected the cold light on the snow-covered ground. The sound of the wind stirring the branches of the dead trees, making a creaking and creaking sound. The loneliness and coldness outside were even more bleak and cold than the window that glowed with warm light.

The next morning, Kane went with his army, and behind him many of the workers who had brought in the mines, all of whom were young Rand laborers, and Kane could drive them to work for a long time for a small amount of gold. The early morning air contains a lot of moisture, and the leaves of some cold-tolerant vegetation are covered with crystal droplets, and the horse's hooves shake the ground, and the round droplets hanging from the leaf tips fall to the ground.

The ore vein has been identified as a rare medium iron ore after exploration, and the general iron ore is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower according to the recognized grade of the mainland. The value of medium iron ore is very valuable to many nobles, and the income accounts for a large proportion of the aristocratic income.

But the most important thing is that you must have the strength to protect the mine, otherwise, not only will you not receive the benefits brought by the ore vein, but you will also set yourself on fire and cause endless trouble to yourself.

The Blue Leaf Mountains sit on the border, some distance from the center of gravity of Randtown, and they stop and walk along the way to take care of the workers who are left behind. Kane: It took them an hour to get to the mine. Yesterday, the engineering team of Nanbo has preliminarily built a rough framework. Kane's army was divided into small squads to patrol the area to keep the area safe.

Some of the workers will build basic houses for the miners to rest for a while, and they will build better houses later, and they will also develop the neighborhood into another town. The workers worked tirelessly and tirelessly to get to work.

Kane followed Nelus to find a suitable place to set up the magic circle nearby, and they walked through the hills, passing by dead forests and lakes, and finally chose the location for the magic circle to be built on a lake that does not freeze all year round.

This lake has a strong magical element, which makes it not freeze all year round, and it is the best place to set up a magic circle. Neros busied himself with all kinds of magical materials in his hands, his staff was like a paintbrush, and the earth was a natural canvas. Neroth began to draw the magic circle he had recently realized, using the water elemental as a medium, gathering all the water elements contained in the vicinity into the eye of the array.

Nehris stood on the water, and the surface of the lake, which had been rippled by the wind just now, suddenly calmed like a smooth mirror, reflecting Nevis's shadow. His movements startled Kane, who wanted to stand on the surface of the water, as he did, and one of his feet had just stepped on the water, and the smooth surface of the water was sunk down by gravity, but it did not soak his shoes. It was as if a film had been covered on the entire surface of the lake, and no matter how hard Kane stepped down, he couldn't break through this seemingly non-existent film protection.

In the end, Kane gave up the idea of standing up, and honestly stood on the shore and waited for Nelus to finish.

Neros walked to the center of the lake, took out a blue hexagonal crystal and placed it on the surface of the lake, touching the surface of the lake, the crystal emitted a faint light and slowly sank down into the lake, until the crystal was completely hidden, the lake surface took the place where the crystal disappeared as the center of the circle, and the ripples rippled in circles, as if it was a drop of water that had just submerged into the lake to break the calm lake.

The rich blue element of water rises from the lake, like a curling smoke. They converge into filaments and flow into the center of the lake. When the last bit of blue water element was injected, a wave of water magic energy vibrated in the center of the lake, and it spread to the surrounding area of the lake, swift and violent, with a gust of wind. Some of the dead trees around the lake were shaken by the wind, and the snowflakes that remained on the trees were shaken down.

Having done all this, Neroth let out a cloudy breath as if relaxed. This magic circle was his second attempt, and after he got the dark wizard's notebook, and after dozens of days of researching materials and knocking on the side from Master Yorick, he finally translated the first chapter and learned this water elf magic circle. The magic circle from the Dark Wizard's Notes didn't have the dark aura they had imagined, but was exactly the same as the magic and arcane they had learned, if not better.

The magic it casts has a natural aura, purer and more advanced than the magic cast by the magicians of Harrens. Nefrius was even more convinced that dark magic and the light magic they had learned had the same origin, and the reason why there was a distinction between dark and light should be caused by some kind of change in the later development, and his heart to pursue the source of truth was even more determined.

Before coming to this experiment, Nelus tried it once at the Magic Society's magic testing ground, and he used the magic laboratory to simulate different environments, the characteristics of the terrain, and the wide enough field to create a lake, which, of course, was not as big as Rand's. He also stood in the middle of the lake as he did today, following the steps described in his note, and then he summoned two water elemental creatures from the water elf magic circle, an elemental guard called the water elves.

They can unleash elemental attacks similar to those performed by mages, which are only half as powerful as those released by ordinary level 4 mages, which is enough to repel a regular knight.

These elemental guards are naturally condensed by water elemental magic, and normal physical attacks can't do much damage to them, even if they are scattered. They'll still regroup, but it will take a little time.

Neroth continued to study the magic circle, and he found that some of its shortcomings had in common with the elemental magic circle. After more than a month of hard work around the clock, he finally ushered in his new research results, he changed the previous core magic items, and replaced the magic water ball with a more powerful hexagonal magic crystal.

Moreover, Neros also discovered that this magic circle could be used not only for the water element, but also for many other elemental fields, such as the fire element, the earth element, and the ice element.

Neroth came back from the center of the lake, stood beside Kane, and asked proudly, "How is it, my magic array is good?" ”

Kane didn't know much about magic, but judging from the elemental resonance caused by Neroth just now, his use of magic was really powerful, and it was impossible to connect him with the mage who was chased and beaten in the first place.

"Just look at how gorgeous it was,... It's really powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is in actual combat. ”

"This is my improved magic array, the power is absolutely not to say, I'll show you now." As Neroth spoke, he wanted to stir up the water elf magic town.

At this moment, the neighing of battle was heard on the other side of the lake, and a war horse with a knight in armor hurried up, and he hurriedly said to Kane, "Lord Lord! Our veins are under attack! Hurry up and go back! ”

"Let's go!" Kane didn't talk nonsense, got on his horse and rushed to the side of the vein.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Kane was in such a hurry that he disappeared into the dead woods before Neroth could wait.

When Kane arrived, the masked man on horseback took advantage of his superiority to defeat Kane's infantry. Masked cavalry not only has a class advantage, but also an overwhelming numerical advantage.

The menacing masked cavalry shot ruthlessly, leaving no room for their hands, and the leaders of the generals showed cruel smiles as they watched the infantry cavalry fall in a pool of blood. Nanbo and his engineering team hid to safety under the cover of infantry soldiers.

When Kane came here, he was angry at the scene in front of him, and he rushed straight to the leader with any sword, and several leaders saw Kane's fierce momentum, and heard about Kane's previous murderous reputation in the black market battlefield, they all showed timidity, but soon they became arrogant again.

Kane was besieged by their knights, and Kane couldn't escape from the strength of the crowd, and he was overwhelmed by the spear-pointed blades that stabbed from all directions, and Kane struggled.

Just as Kane was busy dealing with these annoying flies, a voice broke the table.

"I told you to wait for me, and you left me in the same place again as you did last time. You don't want to see the power of that magic array, now you can see it! Neroth sat on the shoulders of a large light blue humanoid elemental guard, followed by two elemental guards, faceless, gliding forward against the lower body like a column of water, two long arms swinging elemental water swords towards the masked cavalry.

The water sword struck them and knocked them off their horses. The masked cavalry used the tip of the spear and other physical weapons to attack the elemental guards, but to no avail, the tip of the spear passed through the guards' bodies, and as soon as they got close, the guards seized the opportunity to pull them forward. A water sword pierces their faces, killing the masked rider instantly.

Neros took the opportunity to throw a few holy light sword rain magic into the crowded place, and the golden sword rain fell densely, and the powerful magic attack easily killed a large area. The leaders looked panicked, they turned their horses and tried to escape, but Kane didn't give them this opportunity at all, grabbed a hard bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow pierced the fleeer's chest.

As soon as the leader died, the situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse, and there was not a single mage on the masked horseman's side, even the leader died, and they fled with their armor thrown away.

Kane ordered a pursuit, and the Foot Knights were demoralized and driven them out of the border, eventually giving up the pursuit because their legs could not outrun their horses.
