The minecart left the inhabited area of the mine and headed along the railroad tracks deep into the mountain. Elf drove very slowly this time, and Zhao Nan sat on the mine cart, rarely leisurely watching the internal environment of this mine.

As the minecart went deeper into the belly of the mountain, on the mountain walls on both sides, pieces of gray spars buried in the rocks began to appear, these spars were large and small, because the surface was not smooth, so Zhao Nan didn't care at first.

What's even more surprising is that with the increase of gray spars, dwarves began to appear on the mountain wall one by one, and they used ropes to fix their bodies in the air, and kept hitting the mountain wall with the tools in their hands, digging out the gray spars inside piece by piece, and then putting them on the leather bag hanging around their waists.

The tinkling sound reverberates through the inside of the mine.

"Haha, have you seen it? That's the rough stone of the Star Mine, our people will mine the rough stone back, and after simple refining, you can get the Star Ore, which can be used in the forging of general weapons, which can increase the hardness and sharpness of the weapons. ”

Elf explained to Zhao Nan very enthusiastically that since he was impressed by Gu Ming's drinking, this old dwarf had treated the Elven Whispering Guild and his party as old friends for many years, not only did he not speak coldly, but sometimes he was even overly enthusiastic.

"What about the Yuehua ore and the solar ore?" Gu Ming sat next to Elf, who was sent by Liu Xiaoyu as a representative to talk to the old dwarf.

"The Yuehua ore and the solar ore were originally the repurification of the star ore, and now the old man, I will take you to the forging workshop of the Ferrolie mine, where all the finished ore is sold. Elf replied with a loud voice.

Gu Ming nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

The Ferrolie mine was much larger than Zhao Nan had imagined, and it took at least nearly two hours for the mine cart to glide along the railway. Only then did he come to the forge that Elf called it.

It was a giant platform dug by hand, and before Zhao Nan and the others arrived, they could already smell the clanging sound of striking iron in the distance.

Woohoo......

Elf tightened the handbrake to stop the minecart and jumped onto the platform with the group. As soon as Elf arrived, the dwarves who were still working immediately greeted him loudly.

It seems that Cook is right, Elf's status in the mine is indeed not low.

Zhao Nan looked up at the sky and saw that this platform was built in the center of the mountain, and nearly a hundred huge stoves were placed on it, in front of the stoves. There was a group of dwarves working there, transporting ore through simple hubs, and then throwing it into the furnace and through the huge bellows next to it. Constantly refining to remove impurities in the ore.

Despite the fact that there are plenty of stoves, it doesn't feel stuffy here. And not just because it's so spacious. Also because the top here is wading open. Zhao Nan looked up, and could vaguely see the blue sky outside, and the furnaces that forged iron tools and refined ore were expelled through the hollow in his head.

Zhao Nan felt as if he was in a modern ore processing plant.

The other people's expressions were similar to Zhao Nan's, and their faces were somewhat shocked. Elf was secretly observing from the side, and he couldn't help but be a little smug.

"Here, this is Yuehua ore. Elf walked over to a small pile of silver ore next to the stove and picked up one of them. handed it to Gu Ming.

Intermediate Forged Crystal: 10% chance to gain +1 equipment quality, and if enhancement fails, equipment quality -1. (Note: This item can only enhance blue quality equipment.) ）

Gu Ming took the silver spar in his hand, and through the remarks of the system, sure enough, as imagined, this Yuehua ore was a strengthening stone that could strengthen blue quality equipment.

Zhao Nan also took this piece of silver ore, he looked at it casually, and saw that this stone was similar to the star ore, but the color of the Yuehua ore was more condensed, and it looked closer to silver.

"Don't look at it and the appearance of the star ore, but its quality is not comparable to the star ore, with our process, after a hundred pieces of star ore are purified, we can get such a piece of Yuehua ore. As if to see everyone's doubts, Elf patiently explained again.

"Mr. Elf, if we could, what we would like to get is the Solar Ore. Gu Ming directly said the purpose of this trip, according to Liu Xiaoyu, now everyone's equipment is purple quality, if you want to further strengthen it, you can only rely on solar ore.

A trace of solemnity flashed on Elf's face, and he raised his head and said to Gu Ming, "In that case, you can come with me." ”

Everyone followed the old dwarf again and came to a cave behind the platform, which was Elf's usual office space, and the space inside was also very large, and when Zhao Nan walked in, he could also see many dwarves busy inside.

Elf led everyone straight to his separate work room, where he searched for a moment and pulled out a boxy iron box.

The iron box was about the size of two palms, and Elf opened it with a solemn expression, and a soft golden light suddenly emitted from inside.

Zhao Nan looked forward and saw that it was filled with golden crystals the size of thumbs.

"This is the sunshine ore. Elf touched the beard on his chin, then pointed to the golden hedron in the box

Zhao Nan took a piece and put it in his hand, and through the notes of the system, he really saw the information he wanted.

Advanced Forged Crystal: 10% chance to gain +1 Equipment Quality, Failed Enhancement, -1 Equipment Quality. (Note: This item can only enhance purple quality equipment.) ）

"It's it, it's a high-grade strengthening stone. Zhao Nan exclaimed excitedly.

Take turns to pass it to others, and after everyone read it one by one, they all showed excitement. They have come from the elves to the dwarves for this kind of high-level forging spar, as long as they have this kind of spar, as long as the equipment of their whole body is strengthened to +3, their strength can at least go up a level.

"Mr. Elf, how do you sell this hedron? If we can, we want to buy them all. Gu Ming, as a representative, immediately made a request to Elf.

As everyone knows, Elf didn't answer Gu Ming's question, but blushed and said, "Brother Gu Ming, I'm really embarrassed to say it." I'll tell you the truth here, old man, that the solar ore you can see right now is all there. ”

"What, that's all?" Liu whispered's face changed, she squeezed Zhao Nan away, and roughly counted in the box, only about thirty yuan.

"Thirty pieces? I guess it's hard to get a piece of equipment up to +2. Zhao Nan muttered in a low voice.

"Ahem. Elf explained embarrassedly: "Actually, I was a little too big yesterday, old man, and today I will be honest with you, the purification of solar ore is ten times more difficult than Yuehua ore." Only a thousand pieces of Yuehua ore can raise one such Solar Ore, and thirty pieces of Solar Ore here are already all the output of our place in recent years. ”

Zhao Nan couldn't help but ask, "How much is such a piece of sunshine ore?"

Elf held out his five-fingered fingers.

"5 gold coins?"

Elf shook his head.

"50 gold coins?" Zhao Nan exclaimed, and even Liu Xiaoyu and the others changed their faces slightly.

But Elf shook his head.

“5...... 500 gold coins?" This time Zhao Nan even trembled. It's no wonder, although they ask themselves to have a lot of spare money. Especially in this half a year. Zhao Nan and they have tackled a lot of dungeons and side quests, and naturally they have obtained a lot of money, but they have not yet reached the point of squandering them at will.

"To be honest, if it weren't for the joy of drinking with Brother Gu Ming yesterday, it would be impossible to give you this price. The Solar Crystal is a divine stone that can improve the quality of top-level weapons, and the Inquisitor of the Tree of Life Church once approached us and asked us to provide them with a hundred of these ores for free, but we Dwarves refused. Elf said formally.

Cook looked at Zhao Nan with a sad face. Pulled him aside and whispered, "What should we do, we have so much money to buy Solar ore?"

"You brought the money yourself?" Zhao Nan asked with a stunned expression

"I brought all the possessions. ”

"How many?"

"50 gold coins. ”

“......”

"I knew that the Solar ore was very valuable, but I didn't expect it to be so precious, it seems that I can't help you. Cook smiled wryly.

"You save it, who wants your help?" Zhao Nan glanced at him.

"Ah, I'm not responsible for the money in terms of purchases?" Cook was slightly stunned, and then muttered to himself: "Originally, I planned to help you buy goods, and then resell them to you, and then save a lot of money." ”

“......”

Zhao Nan didn't bother to pay attention to Cook, a profiteer, he walked up to Liu Xiaoyu and discussed: "What should I do now, I still have to buy a horse, it is completely over the budget." ”

500 gold coins and a grain of solar ore is indeed far beyond Zhao Nan's imagination, although everyone now has thousands of gold coins in their pockets, but it is indeed difficult to take out so much money at once.

"There are still 10,000 gold coins in the guild's public funds, and let me give out the remaining 5,000 gold coins. Liu whispered and gritted her teeth.

"Yo, so generous?" Liu whispered, which made Zhao Nan startled.

"Strengthening the equipment is imperative, do you want to let this opportunity slip away?" Liu whispered and glanced at Zhao Nan.

"Thirty pieces of Solar Crystal, a total of fifteen thousand gold coins, Brother Gu Ming, you are really not simple, this place is almost equal to the annual financial income of a big city of your human race. Elf said with a shocked look on his face.

To be honest, someone can buy thirty pieces of Solar ore alone, except for the big shili like the Tree of Life Church, there is only that kind of royal duke, so when Liu whispered that he could buy as much as he wanted, Elf was disdainful in his heart.

"Damn, you're so rich?" Seeing Liu whispering his hand, a mountain of gold coins immediately appeared on the ground, and Cook was so surprised that his jaw was about to drop.

"It's okay, it's a pity that there are too few solar ores, otherwise we would have liked to buy more. ”

“......”

Zhao Nan was a little disappointed, although the value of the solar ore is beyond imagination, but as a player, improving the strength is the first priority, and now that the level is difficult to improve, strengthening the equipment has naturally become the only way out.

Now that the Solar Ore is in hand, the remaining question is how to maximize the use of these thirty Solar Ore to strengthen everyone's equipment, because according to the direct enhancement method, the 10% success rate is really painful.

"Mr. Elf, I'm sorry to ask, do you have any skills to improve your forging equipment?" So, under everyone's expectant gaze, Gu Ming said the second purpose of this trip. (To be continued......)
