Chapter 286: Campbell's Mountain (2)

"What's going on?" Leon clearly learned from his second memory that this place should be the quarry that his grandfather had said, and even the sheriffs of several towns knew about it, why did he find that it was not the case when he arrived at the place?

The goals of Leon's trip this time are three, the main one is of course to explore a mineral resource point at the southern foot of the Bronze Helmet Mountains, the shape of the mark looks like some kind of metal, and the quarry is also nearby, plus to investigate the disappearance of the sheriff of Black Mountain, it can be said that it kills three birds with one stone, but as soon as he arrived at the first destination, he found something strange.

His eyes looked at the low mountain peaks in front of him, the lush trees covered the mountain like a soft blanket, the emerald green color stretched along the undulations of the mountain to the higher peaks in the distance, and from time to time unknown birds in the sky fluttered their wings and flew by, drawing an arc-shaped trajectory and then throwing themselves into the forest somewhere, and a light wind blew the dense canopy slightly swaying, and then carried the damp breath of the forest across Leon's body, towards the south. Although young people have seen many scenery that they have never seen in their previous lives since they came to this world, they still feel that the mountains and forests are beautiful and the mood is refreshing when they stand here and look at it.

However, he knew that this was just the perception of the daytime, this forest was subordinate to the wolf's kiss forest, and at night there would be night wolves and even other dangerous creatures, the forest would be full of wild beasts' roars, and the forest wind in the mountains would become stronger, and at the same time there was a strange howl, as if it was a kind of creature before dying, and like a wolf's howl, this scene was in line with the characteristics of the wolf's kiss forest.

But why did the "quarry" that didn't look like a quarry in front of him choose this location? Leon began to look around the perimeter, and when he reached the easternmost side, he found that the edge of the place was as flat as if it had been cut off by a knife, and it seemed that the quarry had indeed played a role, but it was too small in terms of size...... The young man turned his gaze back to the mouth of the abandoned pit again, and suddenly a thought came to him.

He pulled up the map of the area, looked at the location of the resource points and the mouth of the tunnel, and couldn't help but feel sorry for his grandfather's luck.

It must have been Earl Darren who didn't know where he learned that there was a mineral deposit under this mountain, but for some reason, the old earl didn't want this matter to leak out, so he surveyed the neighborhood under the banner of a quarry, but unfortunately, he found a little too far from the starting position, so in the end nothing was found, and this "quarry" was abandoned.

The more Li Ang thought about it, the more he felt that it was right, he sighed, and told the others about this guess, and his companions were all embarrassed.

"Can you determine the location of the deposits?" said to Red, what if the little count had the same luck as the old earl?

“...... Of course, I'm a man of a spectrum!" Leon glared at him disdainfully when he heard the hidden meaning of Red's words.

"If so...... I'll go into the abandoned tunnels and explore once, and if the final digging is not far from the mine, we can restart the two tunnels, saving time, and using the quarry as a cover, and besides," Caterina said seriously, "Anyway, with Leon here, we won't get lost anywhere." ”

"Katarina, you can do it......" Leon admired the knight girl's idea, especially the last sentence made him very proud, so the young lord took three men and two women and broke into the dark abandoned tunnel.

Hundreds of meters in the light of the fire, the road was not only smooth and wide, but also high enough for a man like Red to come and go freely, and with several thick logs reinforcing the path every few distances, it was clear that the old Count was carrying out the excavation work with great confidence.

There is a black hole in front of it, and it looks like the tunnel should be built very deep, and it has been repaired very carefully. Seeing these details, Leon admired his grandfather's seriousness, but at the same time felt a little desolate - when the stubborn old man found that he had found nothing at the end, he did not know what kind of mood he was in at that time.

But now that things are different, even the grandson of the old earl is no longer the same "Leon", what's the use of thinking about that? Leon collected his mood and began to focus on the map that appeared in his field of vision, comparing the location of the tunnel with the resource points back and forth.

It seems that the old earl has invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in this survey, and Li Ang gradually found that if the tunnel extends in the current direction, it will not take long to dig to the location of the mine, and even the distance between the two is not more than three meters in the middle. However, just as he had expected, the tunnel changed direction not far ahead, becoming completely parallel.

Leon sighed and began to walk back, then stood somewhere, rubbing against the uneven wall.

"Is this here?" asked Red

"Yes, about three meters," Leon said.

"Let me do that," Red said, raising the greatsword that had been dragging behind him, motioning for the group to back off. Then he slammed his weapon forward, and after a muffled thud, the blade of the greatsword sank into the hard wall.

Then Red twisted his wrist and flicked it outward, and the wall around the giant sword was more than two meters deep, and the wall of nearly one and a half meters square turned into a piece of rubble, pouring out with his movements.

"Huh?" A group of onlookers were amazed by Red's powerful sword, and said that this kind of work as a miner was a piece of cake for the master of special weapons. Red touched the back of his head with a smug expression, as if he was enjoying the expressions of his companions, but Leon knew that this was the protective power that he awakened after the third order - "impact", in addition to being able to offset the opponent's impact damage, it can also be actively activated, and the effect is just like this, but it is not stable, so the consumption of the body is relatively large.

Caterina walked over, lowered her head and rubbed her foot on a piece of gravel on the ground, and suddenly she bent down, picked up a stone, and brought it to Leon, and said, "Your judgment is very accurate. ”

The young man took the stone, looked at the bare surface of the stone that began to turn white, and said to Red, "Do it again." ”

"Okay!" Red casually brushed aside the remaining stones in the hollow, and probed into it with another sword, this time the result was even more obvious, large chunks of silvery-white ore poured down to the ground, and there was a layer of magic fluctuations attached to it.

Leon had done his homework before he was ready to explore these resource points, and had been reading hard for a while when he asked for a book of alchemical materials from Kaka, so when he saw the ore on the ground and felt the faint fluctuations on it, he was almost staggered to the ground by the unexpected huge sense of happiness.

At the same time, Red gasped and said in surprise: "Demonized Mithril Mine? God, Leon, you are developed!"

Mithril is an excellent material for forging high-quality weapons and equipment, and the finished product is far superior to steel, both sharp and durable, but Mithril ore is rare, and there are only two in the entire kingdom of Sver.

Not to mention the Demonized Mithril Mine.

This metal not only contains all the advantages of Mithril, but also has a certain amount of magical energy due to the long-term erosion of magic formed for some reason, and has a very good matching ability for enchantment and carrying alchemy circles.

In an area with extremely developed commerce such as the Commercial City-State Alliance, there will be a lot of demonized Mithril from unknown sources flowing in every year, which will cause a scramble in the market every time, even a fist-sized piece of ore can be sold for more than 100,000 gold coins, and at this time, Li Ang is facing ...... But it's a whole demonized Mithril mine!

Everyone was silent, even the elves knew the preciousness of this metal, and in the great forest where they lived, only the elven court had the ability to arm armies on a large scale with equipment made of demonized Mithril, not to mention the clan to which Dan and Ser once belonged.

"No wonder grandfather has put in so much effort......" Li Ang suppressed his excitement and tried his best to make himself appear bland, after all, we are also a lord, don't look too unseen in the world, right?

So he put the ore in his hand on the ground, raised the torch and shone the hole in the wall that Red had destroyed, and suddenly found that something was emitting a different light under the reflection of the torch at the end of a few meters deep.

(Soon to get to the point of this volume, and there are two or three lines that will run through the last two volumes, but the writing is suddenly confused, and it seems that there is a context that is not clear, so I have to re-read the outline, and I don't think I can write it at 12 o'clock in the evening, sorry! Of course...... It is also possible to write it out =0=)
