Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 107:

It took Hops a full ten days to lay the climbing spikes about one person high from the vein.

But when he got here, he was stuck and couldn't climb any more.

Because I don't know why, the rock wall becomes so strong that the spikes made of stainless steel can't be driven in. He hammered it with a small hammer for a long time, only to see sparks shooting in all directions, and finally the tips of the spikes were blunt, and only a dent that was no deeper than half a knuckle was cut.

"Could it be that the mithril mine has been reached?" At dinner, when he talked about it, Sid said, "Such a hard stone is very rare, but if it is a mithril ore, it is not surprising."

Hopes shook his head: "I managed to chisel a rock, and I came back and looked at it carefully. It was either mythril ore or a stone, but it was surprisingly hard."

"How can ordinary rocks be so hard?" Du Du came over curiously, "Such hard rocks usually appear deep underground, so they shouldn't be here."

"Who knows..." Hops sighed, "Anyway, I can't think of any way to do it now. I can only work on it slowly. I don't know if the mineral vein on the cliff is worth it. More time and energy."

"Are the samples with me? Let me see." Du Du said, "I'm an expert when it comes to stones!"

He is not bragging indeed. Because of the fact that the Dwarf Kingdom has been digging underground all the year round, the knowledge of various rocks can be described as unique in the world. As the royal son of the Dwarf Kingdom, Dudu Hill is indeed an expert who knows all kinds of rocks and minerals very well. In fact, he is also the only person in the exploration team who can distinguish between Congenital Mithril and Acquired Mithril-but he has no interest in this job, otherwise, there is actually no need to find an appraisal master...

Of course Hopps took those stones with him, so he immediately took out one.

Du Du took the stone, frowned just looking at it, showing a look of surprise.

"Huh?" He exclaimed in a low voice, turning this little stone over and over and studying carefully for a while, but his brows wrinkled more and more, "Bedrock? Did I read this thing wrong?" I shouldn’t be here..."

"Bedrock? What is that? Is it rare?" Hopps asked curiously.

Du Du shook his head: "Rare is not rare, it's just that this thing shouldn't be on the ground."

"What the **** is it?" Ruby approached and asked, "If you are interested, please give us a detailed introduction."

"Of course. Speaking of bedrock, we have to talk about the structure of the main plane... Generally speaking, the ground under our feet is divided into several layers. The first is the soil layer. The soil layer is underneath the rock layer, and the rock Below the layer, there is usually red hot magma. In most cases, the exploration ends here, because it is difficult to get under the magma. However, if you are lucky, you will occasionally encounter situations where there is no magma. From that Going down the layer, you will see the bedrock-they are very strong, and sparks are scattered everywhere with a pickaxe, and it often takes a little bit of effort to mine." Du Du gave a detailed introduction, then took a sip of wine, and then said , "Although I have not been below the magma layer, I have seen bedrock in the museum where the ore is collected, and it feels like this."

Hopps nodded and asked curiously: "So what use is this bedrock?"

Du Du thought for a while, then asked: "Do you think it is useful?"

"...very strong, it must be suitable for building fortresses."

Du Du laughed: "Haha! A strong man who can mine the bedrock to build a fortress, if he doesn't beat others, they will thank God, who would dare to provoke him!"

Hopes thought for a while, it was indeed true. The bedrock is strangely hard, and it took countless efforts to mine it out. If someone can mine a lot of bedrock and use it to build a fortress, then this person's ability is beyond imagination. Such a strong man, who would dare to provoke him?

Being interrupted by this, he also forgot to ask Bedrock what other uses.

After dinner, everyone went to rest, but Sid came to Dudu's tent.

"What's the use of bedrock?" he asked straightforwardly.

Du Du was silent.

"It's not an ordinary thing, right?" Sid asked again.

Du Du remained silent.

"This thing...should have a very special use. It is not only special, but also important. So when you see it, you will get a little gaffe." Sid said, "It can make you show that expression, it absolutely does not It will be just an ordinary stone."

Du Du did not speak.

"I don't want to say it." Sid sighed, "but I advise you to think about it. After all, such a large piece of bedrock is there, maybe someone will hit their idea. If they figure out something Come, it's worse."

Du Du's expression was finally a little moved. He thought for a while and said: "Get both Hopps and Ruby, they also need to know about this."

After a while, both Hopps and Ruby, who had been sent from Sid, came quietly. Because Sid particularly emphasized the need to keep secrets, they all crept and didn't even make a louder voice.

After the four gathered in Du Du's tent, Du Du took out a magic scroll, activated the scroll, and a circle of blue light enveloped the surrounding space, covering all four of them inside.

"Now you can talk with confidence." He seemed a little relaxed, "Don't worry about being overheard by others."

"The kind of stone called bedrock is really so important?" Sid asked.

"If you want to know the truth, you need to take an oath first." Du Du replied, "Swear to the gods you believe in and keep secrets. If you violate the oath, you will not be able to go to the kingdom of God after death. Will fall into hell."

Sid, Hopps, and Ruby looked at each other. After a while, Ruby shook his head and said, "I won't swear this kind of oath, and I don't want to know any secrets. You guys talk slowly, I'll go back I’m going to bed. I just treat tonight’s matter as if it didn’t happen. No matter who asks, I’ve been sleeping tonight and haven’t gone anywhere."

Speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent without coming back.

Sid and Hopps, look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a while, and swear by each.

After they swore, Du Du, who had been nervous all the time, relaxed and smiled.

"Since you have all sworn an oath~IndoMTL.com~ then I can tell you this secret." He said, "I am not lying about the origin of bedrock. But the purpose of this thing... I didn't say it at dinner."

"Yes, that's why I came back to ask you." Sid said.

"In fact, I really don't want to tell you, and this kind of thing...you know, it may not be any good..." Du Du explained that, judging from his expression, he probably wants to make the last effort. a bit.

Hopes sighed: "Du Du, can you not be so procrastinated? Hurry up, we have to go back to sleep separately, and we will have work tomorrow!"

Du Du laughed bitterly and said: "Bedrock is a new type of weapon material that our dwarf kingdom is studying."

"What weapon?" Sid asked.

"Explosives."

After hearing Dudu's words, Sid and Hopps were still in the air, but the jellyfish who was eavesdropping in the air staggered and almost fell off.

Explosives? !
