Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 328: Mining area

cpa300_4(); "Sure enough, this is the mining area of ​​the Star Mine. It is incredible. This mountain range has been investigated for a long time, and it should be impossible to have the Star Mine."

Lilith walked over, sighing, spreading out her palms. In her palms were a few cracked rocks. Xiao Lin took the rocks and brought the magic lamp closer to observe. The rocks were just ordinary rocks, but There are several particles finer than sand in the layer, faintly shining with silver-gray light, just like stars shining in the night sky.

"Is this the Star Mine? It's pretty, but it seems a little bit less." Xiao Lin pushed the rock aside, but among the fist-sized stones, these silver particles were only a few.

"Yes, the content of Xingchen Mine is very low, and so far it has only been found in Silver Province. Although the current reserves are still considerable, they will be used up sooner or later, when we... "Lilith suddenly remembered that there was a little vampire Ibea next to her. She wanted to say that our resurrection tower would not be able to be built by then, so it's better not to say these things in front of the natives.

Xiao Lin also understood Lilith's meaning, but it was not their turn to consider the future. Instead, he tentatively looked at Ibea next to him. The little vampire was full of innocence and curiosity, Xiao Lin thought After that, he passed the rock in his hand.

"Thank you, uncle!" Ibea happily took it.

Xiao Lin's eyelids twitched slightly, and he sighed that the name "Uncle" might be difficult to change.

Ibea used her nails to buckle the rock formations, as if she wanted to dig out the star mine directly. In the normal mining process, the crucible is used to pour the rocks rich in star mines into for heating and stirring. Filtration, because Xingchen mine is extremely heat-resistant. The final filter is pure ore.

A practice like Ibea is self-harm. Soon the fingers were dripping with blood. The nails were also slightly bent. Xiao Lin wanted to stop it but was stopped by Lilith next to him. The two quietly watched Ibea's persistent movements. After a quarter of an hour, Ibea exhaled slightly and stretched out his palm with pride. The blood-stained palm was shining with the silver light of Xingchen Mine.

"Your hands are all right."

Xiao Lin wanted to find something to wrap up, but saw Ibea casually sucking with her finger in her mouth. When it was taken out a few minutes later, the wound had actually healed more than half, not to mention Xiao Lin's shock at this powerful recovery ability, Lilith also wrinkled her brow thoughtfully.

The group continued to explore the valley again. The exit of the valley was a few stone houses. There was nothing in the house except for the basic daily utensils. What made Xiao Lin happy was that they finally found water and food here. Judging from the current situation, the breath of death seems to be confined to the area of ​​Wildfire Town, and there is no sign of contamination. Therefore, it can be eaten with confidence.

What made Xiao Lin a little concerned was that he found soup that had dried up a long time ago in a pot half-covered in the kitchen. It seems that the owner here had to give up and leave in a certain rush, so that he couldn't even manage the food still on the fire. Naturally, these meals are not usable, but there is still a lot of air-dried. Jerky and bread.

Xiao Lin first gnawed a piece of bread and drank a few sips of water, but he still felt uncomfortable. After watching the dried meat and licking his lips, he only hesitated for more than ten seconds, then he decisively changed his mouth to a clean pot. He took some firewood to light it, and found some condiments, and began to boil the soup with enjoyment.

Lilith was searching in other rooms for clues, while Ibea was completely attracted by the star mine outside, but after ten minutes, they were all attracted by the strong meaty aroma that rose up again.

Lilith was a little surprised and even enviously said: "You can cook?"

Xiao Lin nodded triumphantly. His craftsmanship was actually not very good, but thanks to Song Junlang's gift, those bizarre dietary treatments have allowed Xiao Lin's cooking skills to increase, at least to the point where it is still delicious.

Lilith glanced at the small half of the bread in her hand and threw it aside decisively.

This evening, under the bright twin moons, several people were devouring the broth. Xiao Lin felt that he had drunk the most fragrant broth in his life. He probably didn't even remember what ingredients were in the soup. Anyway, he poured in all the ingredients he found, and the taste was unexpectedly good.

Fat and drink, and don’t bother to clean up. They don’t expect to come back here anyway. Xiao Lin and Lilith are discussing the next journey. It must be impossible to go back. It is necessary to return to the colony of Dawn Academy. Passing through the town of Wildfire, this is obviously not a good choice in the current uncertain situation.

"Go to the Golden City! It is the largest city in Silver Province and the largest transit point for the Silver Mine. Most colleges have offices there." Lilith made a proposal.

"Golden City? A city of gold level strength?"

"Uh, this is not the case. Silver in the Silver Province refers to the entry of silver-level people only, but the gold in the Golden City refers to the real value of gold. Oh, gold is also a precious metal in the Norma world, and it is the main upper level. Currency, you’ll know when you arrive."

It is said that there are many college offices in Golden City~IndoMTL.com~ But Lilith's illocutionary meaning only refers to the Adjudicator Academy. It is obvious that this woman also no longer trusts Dawn Academy.

While talking, Ibea's face suddenly changed while drinking the broth, and she whispered: "Someone is here, it seems there are a lot of people!"

Ibea's alertness is higher than that of Lilith and Xiao Lin. After the two held their breath for a while, they vaguely heard the sound of rapid footsteps approaching here.

"It's too late." Xiao Lin glanced at the pot that still had the smell of meat, smiled bitterly, and suddenly understood the source of their discovery.

"Let’s see who it is." Lilith doesn’t matter. She is not afraid of any opponents when she is full, but she doesn’t want to rush into action. There are countless adventurous teams or business groups going back and forth in Silver Province every day. , Although this mining site looks relatively hidden, it is normal for the caravan to get lost and be attracted by the smell of meat occasionally.

A few minutes later, the sound of footsteps went from far to near, and then the moonlight was able to distinguish the appearance of the leading men. They were all fully armed, mostly light chain mail or leather armor, or swords. Or holding a long and short bow, it doesn't look like a business group at all.

The other side looked very alert and didn't take it easily. The two sides quickly approached. Xiao Lin took the initiative to greet him, said hello in half-baked Norma, and searched for the Norma vocabulary he had mastered. Try to express your meaning as clearly as possible, because from the accent, these fierce-faced people in front of you don't speak Chinese or English. However, the subsequent negotiation process was simpler than Xiao Lin imagined.

"You only have three people?"

"Well, we are the lost caravan..."

"Only three people?"

"Huh?"

"No one else?") Book friends, hurry up and pay attention!
