The Whispering Verses Chapter 1616: Green Ridge Ore


After doing this, he wanted to leave the bottom of the water as soon as possible, but before he could take action, three more humanoid creatures swam over nearby. As expected, they were still water ghosts:

"You were attracted by the **** smell of your companion's corpse, right?"

But the fact that they came so quickly also means that the water ghost's lair should be nearby.

Now that they have met, Shade will not avoid the battle. Under the water that no one could see, silver light lit up again. It's just that this time, the water ghosts moved very quickly. The three moonlight slashes only hit the water ghost in the center. The other two resurrected undead, after escaping the attacks, moved towards Xia Degen from left to right. Swim quickly.

Xia De frowned and looked at them. There was a subtle pause in the water ghost's dodge action just now, as if a person running continuously lost his figure for a moment and then appeared further ahead.

[Yes, the space moves, but the distance is very close, about a little finger. 】

"When did space power become so cheap? Even a water ghost can learn it?"

As streaks of moonlight burst out from his hand again, the two "gifted" water ghosts finally fell to the bottom of the water after being cut into pieces.

The liquid flowing out of the water ghost's body mixed into the water of Green Lake, forcing Shade to escape at a faster speed. However, the direction he was heading was the direction where the water ghosts had just appeared. With "her" help, Shade soon found his target at the bottom of the lake.

The so-called "water ghost's lair" is actually a cave with a very shallow bottom, surrounded by two dilapidated small fishing boats blocking the entrance of the cave. Lying on the fishing boat were a human skeleton and the skeleton of a pig that had been eaten until only its rotten head was left.

The cave at the bottom of the fishing boat is like a natural pit, with countless fish bones lying inside. In addition, Shade, who got into the sticky cave, also saw some smooth pebbles, rusty coins, and several gem rings and diamond necklaces.

"Why do I always pick up strange things at the bottom of the water?"

Because he wanted to explore the peculiarities of the last two water ghosts, he endured his nausea and examined the cave more carefully. With "her" help, something was discovered in the deepest part of the cave:

"Can we still find gold ore this time?"

He comforted himself with these words, summoned the moonlight sword, and used the "fossils to mud" spell to dig at the bottom of the lake. After digging out half a human skeleton and more shipwrecks, we finally saw a piece of ore emitting a dull green fluorescence lying in the mud:

"Self-luminous?"

In the hometown of foreigners, natural ores with self-illumination mean radiation; but in this world with extraordinary power, natural ores with self-illumination mean extraordinary materials.

Recalling that Professor Boulanger of geology whom I met on the carriage a few days ago said that there is suspected to be a large mineral vein beneath Green Lake, it is not unusual to find some strange ores.

"Like white stone crystal, it is an ore with space power. It seems that the special abilities of those water ghosts are due to this... But, what kind of ore is this?"

He temporarily put the stone away, and after destroying the water ghost's lair, he also wondered whether he could find identification markers on the corpses of the skeletons, so that he could know the origins of these corpses.

But now only the remains of the body were left. Shade rummaged through the bottom of the nearby lake and only found a rusty pen. The name engraved on the cap of the pen could barely be made out, so Shade took the pen, the ore and his own doubts and swam to the shore of the lake.

Coincidentally, when Shade was about to return to the dock in Pukhov Village, he actually ran into a group of people from the Peace Church who took a boat to the central island of Green Lake this morning as the fat businessman said.

He did not directly hit the boat on which the Church Ring Warlocks were riding, but noticed the unnatural fluctuations on the water from a distance, and then realized who he had met.

Fortunately, he was underwater, so even though there were a whole team of ring warlocks on the two boats, no one found him.

Shade then followed the boat from a distance, and then revealed his eyes from the water not far from the shore, watching the ring warlocks leave the boat and return to the shore:

"I didn't see them taking anything off the ship, and there was no sign that they encountered a fierce battle. It seems that after Miss Pharmacist and I left, the island should have returned to normal. Peace Church The team has been investigating for several days without any clues, and they probably won’t be stationed here for a long time.”

In this way, the next time you land on the island, you only need to ensure that the pharmacist lady does not kill anyone, and you should not encounter the same situation as last time.

Shad's operation in the lake took nearly two hours. After returning to the shore, he spent money to rent a room in a hotel in the village to take a bath, and then took a carriage back to the city.

First he went to Natalie's mother-in-law and asked for five fish bones that she purchased from the local black market. Then he said goodbye to his mother-in-law who praised his quick actions and went to Coldwater Port City through the underground warehouse of the Green Lake Hotel.

When I met Mr. Edmond on the sea cliff where the old lighthouse was located, the sun had already sunk halfway below the sea level in the western part of the harbor. It is indeed pleasant to stand on the sea cliff and watch the golden color reflected on the sea at dusk.

"Your whole body is full of the smell of water ghosts."

The old folklorist complained when Shade entered the lighthouse, and Shade sniffed himself suspiciously:

"I have already taken a bath, and when I killed the water ghosts, I deliberately avoided their corpses."

"You must have dug into the lair of the water ghosts. There are special pheromones in their lairs, which are used to track those who dare to touch their lairs."

The old man said with disgust:

"You really don't mind being dirty."

He found a bottle of resin-like potion and threw it to Shade, asking Shade to add this to the water the next time he took a bath. And Xia De took out the twenty fish bones, and the old gentleman was quite satisfied:

"Half of the fish bones are very fresh, so I knew it was right to entrust you with this job. The quality of these fish bones is very good, and you don't have to pay extra for the time key. Treat it as this time The commission fee. ”

"Then I'm not welcome. In addition, I would like to ask you to see what this ore is."

He took out the green luminous ore that he paid extra for and turned it into a toy. Mr. Edmond checked it, took out a book and checked it before asking:

"Where did you get this?"

"In the water ghost lair, two water ghosts are suspected of having the ability to move in short distances underwater due to this. Is this a rare ore?"

"It's not very rare, but it's definitely not common, and the price is quite expensive. This small piece of yours can easily sell for 700 pounds."

The old gentleman shook his head:

"You once said you wanted to buy white stone crystal from me, so do you know where the white stone crystal comes from?"

Shad recalled that Tifa mentioned this incident (note):

“A small amount is produced in the Yarrahan Desert in the middle of the Old World, which is directly south of the Green Lake area; white stone crystals also appear in large open-pit precious metal mines in river valleys in the New World.”

Mr. Edmond nodded:

"The veins that produce white stone crystals in the Yarrahan Desert also produce the ore you brought. Like the white stone crystals, it requires an extremely special space environment to appear, and it is not in the form of a vein, but in the form of a vein. Produced in the form of small, spider-web-like deposits of mineral deposits. ”

He described it carefully:

"Based on the distribution of white stone crystals and this ore called 'green crest ore', the spatial specificity of the area can be effectively judged. You said that you only found one ore, and there were no other abnormalities there? ”

"Yes."

"Then that water ghost cave is not a mineral point. Water ghosts don't have the habit of digging mines with their claws. I think this ore should belong to the skeletons you mentioned. When their ship crashed, the ore and corpses They were taken away by water ghosts together."

Xia De thought for a moment:

"In other words, if I want to investigate the origin of this ore and find the space anomaly zone in the Green Lake area - if this ore is really produced from Green Lake, then I have to investigate the origin of those corpses ? It seems I have something to do again."

"But I want to remind you that you may not be able to find a single white stone crystal in a thousand Green Crest ore sites. Although white stone crystals have few uses, they are really rare."

Mr. Edmond misunderstood the reason why Shade wanted to continue investigating. Shade actually guessed that the ore came from the central island, and maybe he could find more secrets about that island.

"Greencrest ore and white stone crystal are both associated minerals. If I can really find the mineral spot, does it mean that there are precious metal mines in the Green Lake area?"

Xia De asked again.

"It may not necessarily be a precious metal mine, it may just be a lead-zinc ore, tin ore, bauxite, tungsten ore, or even a gemstone mine. I am not an expert in this area, it is difficult to say."

Mr. Edmund said, standing up, taking down the kettle sitting on the stove, and pouring a cup of hot tea for Shade and himself.

"So what does Green Crest Ore do?"

Xia De asked for advice again.

“You can treat it as jade, take out the jade and make it into necklaces, earrings, rings and other small accessories. Wearing it for a long time can help you obtain the [Space] Spirit Rune, but it is only an assistant. Talent is the most important thing. Important. Another use is to grind jade into powder and add it to a special potion, and then inject the potion into the spine, so that the ring warlock who does not have space talent can temporarily have space talent."

Mr. Edmund smiled and saw the expression on Shade's face:

"Sounds scary? This is a relatively mild method of obtaining space talent. However, the side effects are not small. Obtaining short-term space talent in this way essentially enhances spatial perception. With your kind The talent belongs to oneself. With the help of another self, he can choose not to observe things that he should not see. Unlike the ring warlock, using the green crest ore to obtain the talent of space will definitely observe the essence of space that mortals should not be aware of, and then in one step Going crazy."
