Act 279 The Imperial Peoples Plot(1/2)

Maye walked around the empty cave. She raised her head and stared at the stalactite column hanging down the top of the cave. The water droplets slid down the uneven surface and fell into the sink below. With a tinging dong, Miss Knight's sharp ears moved and slowly blinked her eyes.

She turned around.

Luo Hao held a shield to protect one side. His level was much lower than the average level of the team. He was more cautious than others. He held the power hammer tightly in one hand and looked around with his scrutiny eyes. The end of the team was Parker, who was responsible for the breaking of the back, while others were mostly in the center of the team, keeping a certain distance from the beginning to the end.

Fang Yu was behind the two, holding a lighting crystal. He raised the crystal from time to time, causing the cold light to reflect the gray rock top. Silvede was holding a long magic gun and stood on one side. Later, he followed them along with others underground. Most of Luo Wei and the others had no experience in adventure. They followed Fang Yu's guidance and looked very curious.

Especially Xiaoyao, he was a lord who couldn't rest. From time to time, he looked around, touched around, and asked: "This place looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Does the Nordspitz Craftsmen Association send people to maintain it regularly?"

He typed in the team channel, pointing out the rusty, winding and swaying rails that stretched forward into the depths of the darkness.

Among the pedestrians, Liu Liyue had rich combat experience. He was holding the monocular eyepiece with one hand in the back of the team, adjusting the focal length from time to time, without saying a word, only looking quite alert.

May shook his head and replied, "As far as I know, part of the Nordspitz mine is still in operation, and the people of the Artisans Association will regularly enter underground maintenance. This time the target of our investigation is the discovery of the Nordspitz craftsmen during the maintenance process."

She chose to speak directly.

Silweid had no system, so he could only look at them curiously.

"What is the target?" Xiaoyao asked, "We were just curious about the mining area of ​​Nordspitz. This was originally an important crystal mine in the empire. Magic crystals containing earth element power were accompanied by the silver deposits. Nordspitz's silver crystal was named because of this. I have been famous for a long time. I heard that you were coming here, so I took me down and take a look. But after I came down, I found that there was nothing special. The people of the Empire had exaggerated it, and I didn't see the silver crystal at all... It's really boring. But you shouldn't come down for silver crystals. I heard it was an ancient magic furnace?"

"It's not that ancient." Fang Yu replied.

Ancient magic weapons refer to magic weapons in the era of Noumerlin Elf in Aitaliat, but the tower magic furnace was born much later than that, and can only be regarded as a magic technology product in the modern era. There is nothing to hide about this matter. Luo Wei and the others just had nothing to do and were a little curious about adventure, so they came to the mine with them. But in fact, these people were not very interested in the tower magic furnace.

Of course, the matter of the star device and the Zero Crystal was too important, so Fang Yu didn't talk much. He simply told a few people how the tower magic furnace was discovered in this mining area. The imperial technology recycling order has been circulating outside for many years, but this matter still sounds quite legendary.

Xiaoyao suddenly said after hearing this: "So there are lost technology left in this mining area? No wonder, if I would have wanted to come down and see if there are any lost details that the imperial people have not discovered. Since there is a tower magic furnace with unknown technology, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing else will be possible."

Fang Yu nodded. This idea is not wrong, but there is a deeper connection behind it, not just as simple as an unknown technology. Of course, it is okay for the other party to understand it like this. For craftsmen, it is completely normal to be curious about unknown technology.

Although the technology of the medium and modern era has long been backward compared to modern times, many of the technologies of that era actually came from the alchemy of the older Noumerlin elves - and ancient alchemy is very different from the present, and the mortal skills are inspired by it, which can be regarded as an endless treasure house.

Although some of them have been abandoned by contemporary technology, there are still some lost technologies that can inspire today's skills, just like the elves' creation technique mastered by Fang Rong. Even though most of them are worthless, they can always find a few glittering gems from the endless sea of ​​sand.

Craftsmen and scholars are full of interest in this kind of work, and different methods of technical recycling in various countries are born.

"But after the mining area has been in operation for so many years, why do you still find unknown technologies here?" Xiaoyao still seemed a little curious. "Does there still be unknown areas below? It seems so deserted. Are the craftsmen in Nordspitz really doing daily maintenance? How did they find the magic furnace?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

This question is also unanswered for him. After all, Estilina only briefly mentioned that the tower magic furnace was found in the abandoned mining area of ​​Nordspitz, but the specific details were not disclosed too much.

The Imperials seemed to have an unusual interest in tower magic furnaces. He even found out that he had repaired a tower magic furnace in Istaniya, but what is the connection behind this is related to the star installation and what the imperial people intend, he actually knows very limited.

The reason why the Seven Seas Brigade came here was, first, for the technical route matching the Zero Crystal, and second, for the purpose of investigating the intentions of the imperial people. After all, behind it may have a deep connection with the Lynn family and the pirate ship that sunk under the fog gorge...

The news about the daily maintenance of the mining area by the Nordspitz Craftsmen Association was not long ago from the Adventurers Guild. The waiter girl told them that the mining area had stopped operating ten years ago due to groundwater depletion and mine tunnel settlement. After that, the Craftsmen Association and the Imperial Royal Geology Society intervened.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Soon after, a large amount of soil elements surged out from the underground area, which led to the mining area being semi-aborized.

Logically speaking, since then, the Nordspitz Regional Craftsmen Association should have conducted a long-term underground investigation, so the discovery of the tower magic furnace happened until a year and a half ago, and until they arrived at the empire.

But now it seems that this is indeed very suspicious. Including the background of the appearance of the tower magic furnace below the mining area, why did Hain Fanmu's technical route be lost and then regain the current place?

Fang Yu couldn't help but think of another thing.

——Yes, it was like he was teleported to the underground of that strange temple in the elves ruins.

Who was the temple in Angina built for? Why did it stand alone in that place? Why did the design of Zero Crystal appear there? What kind of secrets does the underground of the elf ruins have?

What kind of power is it to take him to that place?

At the beginning, I was anxious to leave underground and had no ability to delve into it. But now it seems that there are indeed many doubts.

First of all, why did you resurrect there?

Is it the power of the Hailin Crown, or is it the star dagger containing some coordinates?

Unfortunately, these two things have now been transformed into Cang Zhihui and the other has become Miss Tata. He cannot reproduce the situation at that time again. Moreover, it sounds too unreliable to commit suicide to verify something.

In the Star Dagger, it has the technical crystallization as the second technical route. The thing it was born is its own fairy Miss Dragon Soul. So what is the connection between the second technical route and the sixth technical route?

Is that just a coincidence?

Now, the other half of the sixth technical route, the Zero Magic Furnace also appeared strangely under this mining area, which is also a coincidence?

Or, these two technical routes have actually experienced some unusual events, so they can be explained by how bizarre they are always buried in these unknown underground corners.

But Xiaoyao's words suddenly woke him up.

"You're right," Fang Yu couldn't help but ponder, "It may not be that simple below."

"Ah?" Xiaoyao was stunned.

What he said, wasn’t he just a little curious about the mine below?

But Shui Wuming reacted, "You said that when the Craftsmen Association was inspecting the underground area of ​​the mining area, they discovered a new area below?"

Luo Wei shook her head and analyzed, "I'm afraid more than that, the Imperials must have found something underground in the mining area. Now, the intervention of the Imperial Royal Geological Society is very telling. If you just consolidate the mine channel and don't need people from the Geological Society to intervene, do you still remember another thing Ed said before?"

"What puzzle are you fighting again?" Xiaoyao looked at the few people in confusion. But he seemed to have reacted suddenly, showing a look of sudden enlightenment, "Wait a minute!"

Earth elements!

Earth elements live in deep areas of the floating continent. If they do not suddenly emerge in the mining area, but are a stress response to the invasion of the upper area, then everything will be explained.

"The Empire went deep into the deep underground area? And found an area where the earth elements were inhabited, which caused these native species to be so angry that they poured into the ground area?" Xiaoyao blurted out, "I understand that the tower magic furnace was not found under the mine at all... No, it can be said that it was found that its location was much lower than the general sense of 'under the mine'?"

Fang Zhu nodded.

When Xiaoyao talked about unknown areas, he had actually thought of this.

The mine is no better than other places. Even before the Craftsman Association intervened, this was once the place where the Nordspits miners worked. The workers in the mine should be familiar with every mine and every fork below.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to find unknown things in known mining areas, unless miners discover new areas while digging. Then this makes sense, the miners in Nordspitz should have dug through the passage leading to the deep area below when they are mined.

As for the original natural cave group, the secret passage left by the underground river, or the underground ruin group left by man, it is unknown, but the subsequent craftsmen association should have discovered the tower magic furnace at that place.

Perhaps there should be other traces left behind, otherwise it would not explain why the imperialists attached so much importance to this place.

Then there might be a place similar to the elves he had seen before, a temple, or something similar.

When he thought of his past experience, Fang Yu could almost describe the rough process before and after the incident:

The Nordspitz Craftsmen Association then closed the mining area. A series of external notices on groundwater depletion and mineway settlement are currently likely to be just a cover, but they used this cover to allow the Royal Geological Society to intervene.

However, the imperial people should have encountered great trouble in their subsequent explorations. At least the earth elements are real. They should have entered the habitat of the earth elements while exploring deeper areas and angered the indigenous people, resulting in a series of events that followed.

"So, most of the reason why the Nordspitz mine is abandoned is also blamed," Shui Wuming was a little curious, "But at least before that, the imperial people also closed some of the mining areas. The silver crystal mine area is the source of the important earth element crystals of the empire. They should have found something amazing below. I think it shouldn't be just a tower magic furnace?"

Judging from the attitude of the Empire Workshop towards the tower magic furnace, the tower magic furnace alone seemed to be enough to attract the attention of the Aoshu people, but Fang Yu was also a little curious about what the Empire found in the underground area below the mining area.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Estilina and the little girl from the Adventurers Guild seem to have not told him the truth, or they have limited knowledge about it.

But the Empire gradually closed the mining area ten years ago, and it was only a year or two before that they discovered the magic furnace from there. If nothing was discovered between this, how could the Empire stop the operation of an important mining area so easily?

It is not just the output of crystals, but also the rise and fall of a city, the work and livelihoods of countless people are related to countless immigrants. Even the alchemists of the Imperial Workshop and the Artisan Association can ignore this, but His Majesty the Emperor cannot ignore such important things.

"I'm a little curious about this," Xiaoyao said, "The Empire actually told such a big lie outside. In order to stop the operation of a mining area, what secrets did they hide below? Is this an adventure... It turns out that it's so interesting."

"These are just speculations," Fang Yu shook his head and conservatively concluded first, "it may not be correct."

"But guessing means that it is possible, at least the unknown area must exist, otherwise they will find the tower magic furnace from there," Xiaoyao rubbed his hands excitedly, "Can we go down there and take a look? Maybe there is any treasure of ancient magic skills."

"Even if there is a treasure," Luo Wei reminded him, "that belongs to Ed and the Seven Seas Brigade. We are just here to visit, but we don't do much."

"Ah?" Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment before remembering the question, "Is that true?"

"That won't be," Fang Yu scratched his head. He wasn't so stingy. If he minded this issue, he wouldn't agree to let Luo Wei and the others act together at the beginning. "If it was ancient alchemy, everyone would share it together."

"That's it," Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, "I said, Ed even taught the techniques learned from Xia Jin Gao Tower to so many people for free, how could he be so stingy? Hehe, in fact, I just want to see the rumored ancient techniques, and I am not interested in other treasures."

"That's Ed's generous relationship with you," Shui Wuming gave the guy a angrily glance. "But this actually means we are hiring the Qihai Brigade to conduct technical exploration for us. If we find anything, we will have to pay."

"Just pay, just pay," Xiaoyao waved his hand, "It's the guild expenses anyway."

Fang Yu then remembered the saying of technical exploration, which is actually similar to the technical recycling mentioned earlier. The difference is that it is dominated by the craftsmen association, while the former is mostly private.

Since alchemists have no combat power, they usually hire adventure groups to work for them when they work in the field in the wild. In addition to a fixed salary, there are generally additional rewards based on the value of the discovered objects.

He was not interested in this thing. The Qihai Brigade should not be short of such a little money. Taking Sister Luo Wei and the others out was just a similar nature to a vacation trip. However, Fang Yu spoke to his mouth, swallowed it back, thought for a moment and asked with a shy face: "Wait, what you said... is it too much?"

"Not much," Shui Wuming replied, "If we share it, it will be less than 250,000 yuan."

"What, so much!?" Fang Yu couldn't help blurting out.

Here, Luo Wei, Shui Wuming and Xiaoyao are seventy or eight hundred thousand Lissels. If you include Liu Liyue, wouldn’t it be close to one million Lissels?

Thinking about how much effort he had spent to help the military catch the spy, almost triggering a war between the Dragon Knights, confronting the Seven Magicians family, and a trial in the arbitration tribunal. Finally, he received a reward of less than 500,000 Risell after tax.

Although I know that Xingmen Port has always been stingy and is naturally not as good as the super competitive alliance in terms of wealth and wealth, this is not too different, right?

But as soon as he said that Fang Yu realized that his words were a bit embarrassing, and couldn't help but add: "I just... I'm just a little interested in this. I have my own adventure group. You know, I know less about this."

A sigh came from behind.

Fang Yu turned around and glared at Alisa with annoyance. Miss Nightingale looked like she couldn't bear to look at him, and shook her head when she looked at him.

Silvede was quite interesting and smiled. She was used to seeing her captain's embarrassing appearance, not surprisingly, and she was not an alchemist. In fact, she was not very concerned about the topics between these alchemists.

Only Luo Hao yawned in front of him. He didn't even see a single hair when he walked along the way, let alone earth elements or other adventurers. He himself was not interested in the craftsmen's skills at all. He heard the few people discussing the things under the mine and was almost asleep.

He looked at Mei on the side and couldn't help but admire the little lady's seriousness and expression.
