"Is this a private mine?" Kaya, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
Minerals must be owned by the state. This is the concept of the earth. In the Lost Land, the ownership of mineral veins is just like the gangsters fighting for territory on the earth. Whoever has the biggest fist belongs to whoever has it. However, in most cases, national-level organizations own
The biggest fist, therefore, naturally owns the ownership of the minerals.
But for newly discovered mineral veins, some well-skilled and ambitious discoverers will find ways to swallow them privately and obtain the maximum benefit from them. They will try to hide them as long as they can, until the day they can no longer hide them.
.In order to achieve this goal, even if it means killing people, we will not hesitate...
It seemed that he had met such a group of people. Lin nodded and agreed with Kaya's statement, because this was also the answer he thought was closest to the truth. However, he still said conservatively: "Although I vaguely guessed this
It's a private mine, but I don't know what kind of mine it is. And it should be a very valuable mineral that makes them not hesitate to kill people. Otherwise, they risk offending the magician by doing such a thing, as long as they don't agree with it.
With the corresponding force, it would be a matter of course for the surviving Master to destroy the village."
As the three masters and disciples talked, they continued to go deeper into the tunnel. If they only relied on torches or the fluorescent light from Halumi's bright light spell, I'm afraid they would have to be cautious and groping forward. But Lin's improved version of the bright light spell
, but the entire passage is illuminated as if walking in a passage full of electric lights in the 21st century.
It is extremely bright, with almost no blind spots, and it can shine directly to the bottom of the passage. Of course, it is an unrealistic delusion to expect the light to turn a corner and shine into the passage behind the corner. At best, Lin can only see as far as he can see.
All parts are illuminated.
For this reason, there are many small cave creatures such as geckos and lizards, which are constantly avoiding the sudden bright light. Their fleeing figures are clearly visible under sufficient light.
Although doing this will also alert the ambush enemy, if there is one. But the greater advantage is that it eliminates the sense of oppression and mystery brought by the dark cave, and makes people no longer feel confused about things in the dark corners.
Fear. And some forked roads and passages also appeared one by one under the light.
In the past, when exploring caves or tunnels, the most common problem was whether the mountain wall in the depression was a passage leading to a fork in the road, or just a concave mountain wall. With the help of dim torches or weak light spells,
If you don't look closely, you can't tell the light at all. If you ignore the fork in the road, you may be ambushed from behind, so you have to be careful.
Fortunately, now, the entire passage is illuminated. Occasionally, there are blind spots caused by rocks, but in fact, no threatening creatures can be hidden.
However, the deeper you go, there is a strange power fluctuation that spreads weakly in the air. At the same time, the mineral deposits in this tunnel gradually appear.
The rock walls are sparsely inlaid with crystal-clear crystals of various colors. They have not been polished, but they are full of magical power. On the Mysterious Land, magic stones are used as associated mines, and they are sparsely dotted with the main veins, which is very common.
Things. But if you can find a mine with magic stones as its main output, you can make a lot of money, just like digging for oil on the earth.
The place in front of me... looks like a vein of magic stone, with large tracts of various crystals exposed. It changes gradually from red, to orange, to yellow, and is occasionally dotted with crystals that are close to green.
Since I have never seen other magic stone veins, I cannot compare the value of the mine in front of me. I honestly have no idea how to process raw stone into standard size magic stone.
But no matter what, it’s all money. It is said that in some places in the Lost World, large transactions directly use magic stones as the currency for transactions. And no matter how the value of magic stones fluctuates due to its appearance, no matter how low it is,
It won't get any lower.
The most important thing is that this mineral vein explains why that group of people were willing to risk offending the Master and wanted to kill people. Even strangers who passed by this place by chance seemed to have no intention of letting people leave.
Thinking of this, Lin had to sigh. He had no idea of exploring the secrets of this village at the beginning, and of course he didn't know about this mine. If they didn't think of killing people and just let people go, it wouldn't be possible at all.
There's what's next.
Now that he was trapped in the tunnel, even if he didn't see what happened outside with his own eyes, just thinking about it, Lin felt that he should be able to make an accurate guess. It was impossible for the villagers not to search for the carriage, and it was impossible
If you don't disturb the lich in the car; if you offend the former Demon King and still escape with your life, that's hell.
But he didn't want to care about the bad things outside. Lin tightened his hold on the staff, turned to the two girls who were blinded by the magic stone veins and said, "Cover your ears. Maybe you can't hear that sound.
But it may feel a little uncomfortable, so it’s better to cover it up, although covering it up may not have any effect.”
After being scolded before, the two girls were obedient and covered their ears with their hands, looking at their teacher in confusion. Lin, on the other hand, thrust his staff towards the ground and murmured a spell. This was once
The detection spell used in the vampire castle uses ultrasonic feedback to detect buildings and maze terrain.
In the sound of the mantra, waves of sound waves spread outward and refracted and fed back. In this continuous process, the topographic map of the tunnel in front of Lin gradually took shape.
Because he had to continue casting spells, Lin rested his forehead on the staff, closed his eyes, and recited the incantation attentively. But in the eyes of the two girls, this magic stone vein seemed to resonate with something, and they started to stir slightly.
The vibrations. The gravel on the ground bounced gently, and even the color of the magic stone mine seemed to be flowing and changing subtly.
When the curse stopped, Lin opened his eyes and looked at the topographic map of the tunnels drawn in the air before him. He looked at it carefully and said to himself: "It's really strange. There are some differences in the drawn pictures."
Because there are many geographical references in the maze, he can easily mark his location on the map. Lin looked at his location on the map and the cave he was actually in, studying the anomalies that showed differences.
.I was surprised to find that the parts of the tiles that had color differences that could be compared were the exposed magic stone veins.
"Is it possible that this magic can also be used for prospecting?" Lin was surprised for a moment, and then he was relieved. Different materials have different performances for reflected sound waves, and because of the difference in feedback time, it was only a matter of measuring distance.
The program for drawing points has unexpected functions.
But acoustic wave detection should only act on the surface, so how can it enter the interior of a solid? There is no pile driver used to transmit shock waves to the interior. What's more, even with the earth's advanced technology, it is not that easy to detect the interior of a solid. Could it be? Because of the use of magic, there were some unexpected reactions. "It seems that we can focus on exploring this aspect in the future."
It was not the first time for the two girls to see the maze structure diagram of such a building. Of course, they could clearly see the structure of the tunnel at a glance. The tunnel was not deep, but there were quite a few forks, and it looked like it had been mined for some time. In addition to the mine we are in, there are several mines that also have reactions that are suspected to be magic stone veins. In one of them, not only is the space larger, but the reaction suspected to be magic stone is even greater than here.
"Teacher, do you want to go here to have a look?" The speaker was Kaya. She pointed to the largest mine and asked.
Lin nodded and let the two girls lead the way to the deepest large mine. Along the way, many damaged tools could be seen discarded in relatively hidden corners. The air was filled with a rather high atmosphere. The power of concentration seems to be forming substance and liquefying. If you meditate in this environment, you should be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
And this reminded Lin of a question. Judging from his own experience, it was probably not the first time that the villagers had done this. However, there should not be magicians among the people they killed; or perhaps they would end up in the tunnel because of their wrong choices. The entrance was buried by earth and rocks.
Because in an environment like this, for formal magicians, what is more efficient than meditating to accumulate power is the recovery speed of power after using magic. If you still feel that it is not fast enough, then go and hold a rough magic stone. Even if Without cutting, the power contained inside is genuine.
In other words, the magicians here have almost unlimited magic power. A passage blocked by earth and stone is really not a big problem. Otherwise, let's take a gamble and use the three-ring apprentice-level magic-any door, If it is opened outside the field of vision, it is also possible to leave.
However, considering that there is too much movement at any door, a space-traveling portal must be opened first before the magician can pass through. If you do this, it should be easy to be stared at and beaten by the people guarding outside.
In short, it is really unrealistic to trap a magician in such an environment.
Walking into the largest mine, the place was filled with a strong aura of power. The magic stone veins exposed outside the rock wall even began to glow by themselves, showing a riot of colors. It looked beautiful, but it was actually not a good thing. .This shows that the power here can no longer be stored and begins to overflow. But it also means another thing, that is, there may be high-quality magic stones here.
Lin was groping for the rock walls and mineral veins here, wondering if there was any way to get the 'high-quality' magic stone. But the two girls quickly saw the dazzling scenery in front of them. , jumped out. Because there was a strange feeling that flashed through their thoughts.
Observing the surroundings carefully, the attentive Kaya first noticed the slight beating of the gravel on the ground. Halumi pressed her hand on the ground, trying to find the source of the vibration.
It's just that there seems to be no need to check the source. Because the movement is getting louder and louder, and it can be felt that 'it' is heading here.
"Teacher!" Halumi shouted, reminding someone.
And someone was not completely unaware of what was happening. At least after seeing the strange behavior of the two girls, he paid more attention to his surroundings and also noticed this inexplicable vibration. He punched the staff heavily.
The ground will send out a stronger shock wave, which will flow directly into the ground. It is hoped that this method can be used to detect the conditions inside the solid.
But this action seemed to anger the being hiding in the land even more.
