Just now he deliberately chose the opposite direction to the miners to dig, and walked a considerable distance, even if people solve physiological problems, they will not touch here.

This time the goddess did not respond, so he put down the oil lamp to illuminate his surroundings and picked up a pickaxe hammer to clean the sharp stones around him.

This is a mine road that has been abandoned for nearly ten years, and the surrounding empty and tall mine caverns are grayish-white, and the ore containing the dragon's blood stone is red, and it is clear that the dragon's blood stone in this direction has been excavated and no one will come again.

Herman cleared a flat field and removed a few more things from his baggage.

A carving knife, a bottle of ink, a dark red tail feather, and a small, quirky bird.

Under the guidance of the goddess, a simple altar was quickly formed.

The extremely precious fire type Warcraft blood contained in the inkwell bottle, although the quality is not the level of the source blood, but it is also quite precious, and the "spirit" of life contained in it is the key to pry the induction of people and gods, as for the dark red tail feather, it is also a treasure containing the essence of the fire type Warcraft "spirit", and the two are used as pen and ink to draw the altar pattern, which can make the simple altar effective, so that the goddess does not have to spend too much strength to respond to the believers.

These two things alone were first-class magic materials, and together they cost Herman almost three months' salary, and he lost a tenth of his already not rich savings.

And although the strange bird that spread its wings and flew was carved by himself according to the guidance of the goddess, the wood used to carve it was also a magic material, and it was close to level 2, worth a full thousand contribution points, and the sum of the three materials directly gave Herman the original deposit of more than 10,000 to 8,000, making him once again far away from the day of exchanging high-level exercises.

Shaking his head slightly, he threw away the distractions.

After fiddling with the altar, Herman asked, "Goddess, is this all right?" After saying that, he was a little apprehensive, if he didn't work, he probably had to bleed again.

This time the goddess quickly replied, "Yes." ”

Herman breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. He then asked, "When are we going to start?" ”

The goddess replied, "Not now, wait for someone to pray." The gods never show up. ”

Herman sighed, and realized in his heart: it seems that man and god are the same, and they know that they must maintain their compulsion to have followers.

Without further ado, after Herman made a note of the location, he would go to the simple living area to start the day's practice.

As a vortex knight, the fighting qi in his body is still very weak, and only the two organs on the surface of the heart and skin can absorb the fighting qi, which causes his strength to improve extremely slowly, and he can only absorb one D-grade energy stone every day, and his body can no longer absorb the fighting qi.

It had been three years since the original master cultivated his Dou Qi, but it was only now that he had stepped into the threshold of the Vortex Knight's consummation and was qualified to impact the rank of the Source Knight, which was largely a restriction of the exercises.

Therefore, Herman does not plan to use the current Dou Qi Containment Method to impact the Source Knight, and the promotion with the skin-level Dou Qi Containment Method will reduce the upper limit of the knight, and the strength will be inferior. He plans to save some more contribution points in exchange for a more advanced bone-level or even visceral-level Dou Qi Containment Method, these two exercises can allow the body to absorb Dou Qi from the skin to the bones and even the internal organs, so that the knight will become stronger as a whole from the outside to the inside, which is not many times stronger than the skin-level exercises he is practicing now.

It's just that the better the thing, the more expensive it is, the bone-level Dou Qi Containment Method requires 100,000 contribution points, and the viscera-level Dou Qi Containment Method requires 200,000 yuan, such a price directly discourages Herman, who has a monthly salary of three hundred, if he doesn't meet the goddess, he has to work for the Wizard Club for at least ten years to save it.

After Herman finished settling this account, he wanted to lie down and quit at that time, and he had to work part-time after the damn crossing, who could withstand this?

Anyway, the original owner was a small nobleman, and he could choose to quit the wizarding club to live a luxurious life and live this life peacefully.

It's a pity that the goddess appeared with the crossing, this self-proclaimed god but not much power, half threatening and half tempting him to help him rebuild his faith, so he had to temporarily put his retirement plan on hold, and left the wizarding club to come to a remote mine to become a garrison knight.

It was dark in the tunnels, and time was entirely in the hands of experienced foremen. Every day, before the end of work, ring the small bell in his hand, let the workers take the ore dug up for the day to the unloading area, and then go to ask Herman to come over, so that the workers can start to break down the ore and hand in the dragon's blood stone.

When the foreman rang the bell, Herman was honing his only fighting skills, and when he heard the noise, he hurried towards the unloading area, and when he was in place, the workers began to cut the rough with the dividing knives, looking for the dragon's blood stone inside.

This process was quite boring, but Herman did not dare to take it lightly, after all, dragon's blood stone is a hundred times more precious than gold, and dragon's blood stone the size of a grain of rice can be exchanged for a pound of gold, and if he is careless, these miners will try to hide the ore and sell it to the outside world.

Although the actions of mortals may not be able to escape the eagle-like eyes of knights, everyone is lucky, and he does not want to be stained with the blood of these miserable people, so he seriously sits up and oversees the work.

After about four hours, the miners finally finished decomposing, and the burly foreman handed over the dragon's blood stone obtained today, and Herman checked it and found that it was only 5.4 ounces, far from the previous level of 7 ounces, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If there is only this production in the next few days, there will be wizards intervening in a week. (1 pound equals 16 ounces, and based on the standard of turning in 3 pounds per week, it would take at least 7 ounces of dragon's blood stone per day to make up for it.) ）

Herman looked at the people who were trying to bend their bodies and asked, "Foreman, tell me about the current situation of this mine, is there any need to continue digging?" Has production dropped dramatically? ”

The foreman knew the situation of the mine best, so he hurriedly replied: "My lord, this mine has been mined for more than six years, and according to past experience, it is indeed possible to abandon and dig a new mine, but no one has ordered the knights, and the mine has been producing ore, so the villain did not mention this matter." ”

More than six years?

Herman frowned, and then said, "Got it, if the production of dragonblood stone is still below the average level tomorrow, you can take people to prepare for the search for a new mine." Remember, I'm going to leave with at least 2.9 pounds of Dragenite anyway. ”

The foreman's heart sank, judging from today's harvest, they would only have to sleep until they got 2.9 pounds in 6 days, but in the face of the wizard knight, the foreman still had to lean down and respond: "Obey." ”

Herman placed the Dragon's Blood Stone in a silk bag around his waist and turned to leave.

On the second day, the output was really not good, only about 4.7 ounces, and the foreman informed Herman that he had led people to find several directions where dragon's blood stone veins existed, and was ready to ask Herman to designate a direction to excavate.

Herman did not understand the vein, and only after carefully consulting the foreman did he choose a direction to excavate, and the amount of ore produced that day really increased greatly, as much as 8 ounces, and Herman took out a piece of jerky from his ration to thank the foreman.

To his peace of mind, the rest of the day was rising, and by the sixth day he had a full 3 pounds.

The only fly in the ointment is that not many of the villagers in the Forsaken Land pray to the goddess, only Ariel persists every day, but the goddess does not choose to respond, because there is not much power left, and it must be done in one step.

After coming out of the mine, the sun shone on the ground for a long time, and Herman quickly lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hands.

The knight who had come to take his place greeted him and said, "Long time no see, Herman." ”

Herman heard who he was, and responded, "Long time no see, Ernet." ”

Ernet, who is also a Vortex Knight, asked, "Is there anything going on underground?" ”

Herman nodded and patted the silk bag on his waist: "This week's harvest is 3.1 pounds, and you may harvest more next week, is it good news?" ”

Puzzled, Ernett asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Herman told him about the excavation of a new mine, and Ernett was overjoyed to hear that the more he gained, the less likely he was to be reprimanded.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Herman asked, "What about the above, the wolf cubs didn't come to trouble again, did they?" ”

Ernett shook his head and said, "It's been a safe week, but Edmund Castle came last night, and I don't know if the mentors are planning to take revenge last month." ”

"Oh." Herman said unconcernedly.

Fort Edmund, on a cliff three hundred miles from the mines, is the lair of the Night Feather Wizards' Guild, which is home to thousands of knights and nearly thirty powerful wizards all year round. Anyone who comes out of it has great strength.

Herman was not surprised to hear the news, as Night Feather, as one of the most powerful transcendent forces in the southern part of the Dark Mountains, would not be worthy of occupying so many Dragonblood Stone Mines if his interests were violated and he did not fight back.

He just wondered how Fort Edmund could have delayed sending someone after a month of the Knights' resolute nature.

But it was none of his business, and Herman had no intention of probing into this kind of gossip. He's just a small mine guard knight, and he can't the hearts of wizarding teachers.

When he came to Jonas's dwelling, he found two strange guards standing at the door, the other of them fully armed, with their right hands resting on the hilt of their swords, as if ready to move. And the strength of these people is one level higher than him, and the source knight of the same level as Jonas.

(The people of the third brigade!) ）

(It's so strong!) ）

The Knights have always respected their strength, and the higher the serial number, the stronger the members of the brigade, and the third brigade is one of the strongest brigades of the Tempest Knights, responsible for clearing all unstable factors in the mining area, fighting all year round, with outstanding achievements, and the position of strength is beyond the reach of Herman's last-rate brigade.

Herman walked slowly, but the other man only glanced at him and did not stop.
