After saving Raman, they failed to kill all the sludge monsters and hurried out of the mine.

Originally, I thought it was just the three sludge monsters, but I didn't expect that after Bloomer and the others followed, they actually brought several more sludge monsters over, and Jia Yi could only wait for everyone to pass, and then put several greasy spells in a row, and then lit them, forming a wall of fire to block the sludge monsters.

What I didn't expect was that the sludge monster had a low chassis, so it was not afraid of the greasy technique, and only the flames could block it.

They hurried to the entrance of the cave, and Jia Yi turned around and took out some magic materials, and arranged a temporary sealing circle at the entrance of the cave to prevent the mud monster from escaping, and then sat down to rest.

At this time, it was already late, and the stars in the sky were not bright, but the moon seemed far away, and it was almost time for the blood moon. When they came out, it was a mess, and the people stationed at the entrance of the cave saw them and hurriedly notified a few people in charge.

"Jiayi, what's wrong with you? "Eunice came over and saw Kaichi's appearance, and couldn't help but make fun of him.

"The number is wrong, there are casualties?" asked Benson when he saw that there were fewer people.

When Jia Yi heard this, he looked up and counted carefully, and found that there were two more people missing, plus those who were eaten by the big salamander and the devil moss by the river, there were four people in total, and almost a squad was almost wiped out.

"There are too many monsters below, we encountered an invulnerable moss-like monster on the way, Master Jiayi named it Devil Moss, which can suck blood, Guo Geli died under the mouth of this thing, leaving only the corpse for us to bring back. ”

"Devil Moss is not a monster, it is a relatively old creature with no magic fluctuations. Kaichi added.

"Well, anyway, this thing is only afraid of fire, and it is very difficult to deal with, and then when it passed through a dark river, it was eaten by a large salamander that suddenly rushed out. Later, we encountered the Sludge Monster, which was useless with swords, only spells could kill it, and Ex and Vae were killed by the Sludge Monster. ”

From Raman's mouth, Jia Yi knew how the other two people died, when he went to support the protection of the mineral experts, their team encountered the sludge monster, they didn't know the weakness of the sludge monster, plus the light was not good, so they went straight to the weapon to chop, but not only did it have no effect, but they were successfully attacked by the sludge monster, and two people died. There was also a man whose weapon had slashed through the Sludge Monster, and then it was corroded and cut off on the ground.

However, the two mineral experts were not harmed and were well protected.

If it weren't for the support of Laman, I'm afraid the rest would have collapsed. After all, anyone who encounters a monster that they can't break through will be a little desperate. When Laman and the others arrived, they stabilized their position and persisted until the arrival of Jiayi. At that time, Jia Yi saw a human form in the body of a sludge monster, which was probably the team member who was attacked, and the other Jia Yi didn't see it, but he thought that it must not have been digested, maybe it was hiding in some corner and slowly digesting it.

"This time it's thanks to Master Jiayi, otherwise we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, these monsters are not ordinary weapons can hurt. ”

"You're welcome, we're teammates after all. Kaichi didn't get up on the ground, nodding at the rest of the people, "These monsters have now run to the mine hall, and now it is estimated that there will be one in every mine hole." I can only seal the entrance of the cave with a magic circle now, but I can't hold on for too long, and I have to find a way later. ”

Jia Yi didn't say a word, and it would be impossible to get free if he tried to find a way later.

It was already dark when they came out, and now that they had been talking for a while, it was even later, and they talked about the situation a little, and Jia Yi was ready to go back to rest, and Jia Yi's magic power was almost exhausted, and he needed to meditate to replenish it.

Eunice originally wanted to ask for more detailed information, but seeing that Jiayi's face was full of fatigue, he could only let him rest first and prepare to ask again tomorrow.

As soon as Jia returned to the room, after a simple wash, he began to meditate and condense his magic, and there were a lot of indiscriminate spells along the way, and he couldn't plan it well, which led to his own lack of magic when he was behind.

Jiayi can go back to the room to rest by himself, but the rest of the people don't have this treatment, Raman and Bloomer each followed the head of their own chamber of commerce, returned to their residence to explain the situation, and they could cooperate when they were inside the mine, but they were competitors outside, and it was impossible to exchange information or something.

Bloomer followed Benson back to his residence in Memphelbo, sat down, and asked him, "What's going on down there? Did that Master Jiayi do his best, so many of you went down, and so many of you died?" ”

Bloomer said: "Master Jiayi is quite dedicated, but the monsters encountered below are either thick skin and thick flesh, and swords are difficult to hurt, or they are like the mud monsters, and they are not afraid of ordinary weapon damage at all. And these monsters are especially good at hiding in the shadows and sneaking attacks, which are simply impossible to prevent. ”

Bloomer gave a detailed introduction to the monsters they encountered, and the team members on one side also added to it, which gave Benson a clear understanding of the dangers in the mine.

"Then according to what you say, without a mage, the monsters in this mine can't do anything about them?"

The rest of the people nodded together, and when they encountered the monster that restrained themselves, this kitchen knife team was considered a waste.

Bloomer turned around and asked the ore expert, "What about the iron ore inside, can you find out the problem?"

The mineral expert said: "We carefully checked, from the mine hall, the bottom part of all contains impurities, although the iron content in the iron ore is not low, but these impurities can not be completely removed, if you want to use, you must forge thousands of stacks to get good steel, and even so, the quality of steel is not as good as the rest of the good steel." In particular, the iron smelted from this ore is very brittle, and after the forging is successful, it is likely to leave dark wounds inside, so the ore here is almost only qualified to play agricultural tools. ”

Benson couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, the price of weapons and farm tools is very different, plus the quality of this iron ore, it's a bit of a chicken rib.

"Can the quality of this iron ore be solved?"

"It's difficult, this ore is not the first time it has been discovered, there is a super-large pyrite under the wasteland, the nature is similar to this, but the quality is worse than this, the empire fought several battles for this pyrite and the barbarians above the wasteland, and then the iron ingots smelted from the ore were too poor, so they gave up. There is no place to completely solve this problem for the time being, but I heard that the pyrite was later taken over by the Mage Guild, and it seems that they have something to do. ”

Bloomer has to be suspicious of this iron ore now, even if the Mage Guild has this technology, it has nothing to do with his side, but the Valoka Chamber of Commerce is more convenient. Even if this solution can be obtained, using magic to smelt iron, then the cost is a problem that cannot be bypassed.

The Blood Red Rose on the other side had the same problem, wondering if it would cost the price to take this iron ore and whether it would be worth it. If they can spend a smaller price, they still hope to take this iron mine, but they don't know how determined the other two chambers of commerce are.

Early the next morning, Eunice came to find Jiayi, and it is likely that there will be negotiations today, so he must find Jiayi to discuss and understand the following situation.

Fortunately, Jiayi didn't have the habit of lying in bed, so he got up early to exercise, and when Eunice came, Jiayi had already meditated and was practicing Tai Chi.

Eunice endured waiting for Kaichi to finish punching, and said, "Kayi, what is the situation with the iron ore below, is it worth taking down?"

"The iron ore in it contains sulfur, so it affects the quality of the finished product, but this can be solved by crushing the ore and raising the furnace temperature, which is to rebuild an ironworks," said Kaichi. There's a natural cave below.,There's a lot of all kinds of monsters in it.,But,It's not clear how many monsters there are.,Where the monster lair is.,It doesn't look like it's capable of killing.。 If you want to develop this iron mine, not only will you need a lot of guards, but at least a mage must be stationed here. But the good news is that in the cavern below I found copper ore seedlings, which are much more valuable than iron ore. ”

"Shall we take this iron ore with all our might?"

"If the price is too high, it's not worth it, the cost of maintenance is too high, if it is developed as an ordinary iron ore, it's okay, we can seal the hole leading to the cave first, and only develop the iron ore above, so that at least we don't have to worry about the monsters underground." You can do it, but even if the price is a little higher, we won't lose money. The following monsters are actually a good material for making leather armor, we can issue a task to buy monster corpses, and then make leather armor to sell. ”

Jiayi's idea is very good, but to sum it up, it's okay to buy it, it's okay not to buy it, even if it's a positive opinion, it's a real leader.

Eunice glanced at Jia Yi helplessly, in the end, she still had to make her own decision.
