The news of the golden skeleton made those who were preparing to launch a war pay more attention to it. Joey Smith was originally going to launch a revenge for his comrades who may have sacrificed their lives.
Little John tried to contact people from the same organization in nearby towns. The reason why he paid so much attention was because the group of magicians who invaded the mining village and the people on the bounty list seemed to be together.
Four people, one man, two women and a skeleton.
The news that the original targets were one man and three women is accurate. Although one of the women was replaced by a skeleton, which sounds incredible. But considering another rumor, one of the women following the man was actually a skeleton.
A lich. So it is understandable that she turned into a skeleton. This also confirmed the fact that the woman was a lich.
It’s true that the bounty is tempting, but it also depends on whether you can take it all for yourself. Compared with greed, little John, who wallows in the dark world, knows how to plan carefully. The first priority is of course his own life. He has seen too many requests for money.
A person who doesn't want his life will eventually end up in a situation where he has money but no life to spend. He can survive to this day, so naturally he is not just a stupid young man who only knows how to fight and kill.
Because of this, both Joey Smith and Little John postponed their counterattack on the mining village. They needed more preparations.
The few people at the mine had no sense of an impending war because they didn't know it at all. After dragging the horse-drawn carriage containing all the belongings to the mine and settling it down, Lin and Fen flashed directly into the mine tunnel.
Inside.
The rich aura of power could originally give people a feeling of refreshment. However, considering that the mine is now closed and the air is extremely stagnant, an indescribable smell permeates it. Not to mention the depths.
There was a dead gold-digging worm in the largest mine. The fishy smell wafted faintly, and the deeper you went, the more obvious the smell became.
We took Fen to quickly walk through several key points in the mine, mainly to check whether the amount of magic stone contained here could meet the needs of the lich. Finally, we came to the mine where the two girls were.
A whole gold-digging bug with its head missing has been torn apart by two girls. It may be that the body of the bug is very different from that of humans, or even mammals, so apart from the disgusting feeling of taste and touch, it is mentally uncomfortable
There is no pressure. Therefore, the two girls, who are somewhat stingy in nature, found a lot of good things from the insect corpses.
First of all, the first discovery is that this insect has migrated from elsewhere. This can be observed from the countless stones on its body.
Lin originally thought that those stones were all junk. But when Kaya cut open the hard outer skin of a gold-digging bug, she inadvertently peeled off a layer of stone skin from a stone under the skin, revealing the two of them's weak energy inside.
Under the bright light technique, the metal parts can still shine.
The two girls looked at each other and quickly peeled off all the gold-digger stones that had been thrown aside as trash one by one, revealing their original appearance.
The material properties of these large and small stones are almost non-overlapping, and they are not like the associated mines that can be found in this magic stone vein. The two girls relied on the convenience of their teacher to see a lot of rare materials. Although
In this way, they only recognized three or four out of ten of these stones. Even their teacher himself was blind to most of the ores.
Fen might recognize it, but she only glanced at it and didn't continue to pay attention. Maybe it's not a good thing, Lin thought in her heart. What he knew about raw ore was what he bought, and the introduction when he bought it was posted.
.What kind of characteristics it has and what kind of utilization it can be used are almost all the results of other people's appraisal.
Considering that these metals can survive in the digestive system of gold-digging bugs, even if the material is not top-notch, it should have mutated. So even if he didn't know it, Lin planned to keep these metal lumps.
The two girls were left to help Fen prepare. Skipping the soup of life, a basic life magic material, to create life requires a power that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Lin was not surprised at all by this.
Think about the experiment on the origin of life on Earth. It took a long time in a special environment, with lightning and thunder, to synthesize a little amino acid out of thin air. And to create enough materials to synthesize a "person", it consumes
That's more than a million times.
On Earth, scientists can use inorganic substances to synthesize organic substances. But if they want to go further, they have no idea yet.
In the Lost Land, as long as there are relevant raw materials, anything can be created. Whether it is undead magic, life magic, or even divine creations, etc., creating living creatures is not such a distant and illusory thing.
Even Lin has always had a suspicion. Asxs. of this problem is the phenomenon of reproductive isolation among all Homo sapiens species in Midi, which is almost non-existent. So is it possible that all the strange Homo sapiens species in Midi are actually the same species?
One origin, they all have twenty-two pairs plus two chromosomes. In other words, they were all once human beings.
If so, what is the reason why there are so many species of Homo sapiens now? If not, what is the reason for ignoring the biological rules of reproductive isolation?
I always felt that there was a shocking mystery behind this. However, Lin's curiosity only lasted for three seconds, and he threw all this behind him. The reason why he did not develop into the field of biology in the first place was to pursue physics.
Field, not without reason.
What's more, what does it matter if you know the answer to this question or not? After all, human energy is limited, but knowledge is limitless. If you know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, you can be an artist or an inventor. This is the end of the world.
It was during the Renaissance in Europe. Since Leonardo da Vinci, I have never seen a talent that can shine with the same dazzling light in different fields.
This is not because the geniuses of later generations are inferior to those of ancient times, but because the depth and breadth of knowledge are not at the same level at all.
Maybe if you have free time later, you can discuss it with Fen and ask her about this topic to see if she is interested in looking for some slices of Homo sapiens other than humans to study.
Right now, Lin has another thing to do, which is to dig out the collapsed tunnel entrance.
Although the flash technique is very convenient, it is not difficult to take the two girls away now. However, considering that there are many precious or rare materials in the mine, using the flash technique to move house does not seem to be a good choice.
It has been confirmed that the high-dimensional world may bring psychological and physiological double pollution to living creatures. Even plants cannot completely escape such effects.
Lin Yong flashed back in succession and brought the pot of ghost grass back to Halumi. Now it is fed with meat, and its appetite is very good. The pot of grass still looks like the owner who raised it when eating, it is very sweet and delicious.
When I see something delicious, I will squint my eyes and get excited. The people watching next to me will have an appetite and eat a few more mouthfuls of food.
For inorganic objects, the high-dimensional world will also have an impact. When I was experimenting with magic, frequent flashes caused someone's cloak to suddenly open a big rotating eye, which frightened the three masters and apprentices...
...Well, basically it scared a certain time traveler.
Lin had no intention of researching what this thing was, and simply destroyed it in a humane way. It looked too much like the big eyeballs of the G-cell monster in the Castle of Evil! The area of his own psychological shadow was too large.
Various phenomena observed later also confirmed that as long as everything enters the high-dimensional world, there will be some degree of pollution and mutation. To avoid such a situation, the flash protective shield used to carry people can also play a role. But
However, someone cannot perform flash multiple times with the protective shield deployed. Moreover, the larger the volume to be protected, the greater the consumption.
For the protection of inorganic substances, more targeted research is bound to be done. Otherwise, if you enter the high-dimensional world and avoid the contamination of your belongings, you can only choose to run away. This way of doing things feels a bit like putting the cart before the horse.
There are a lot of good things found in the mines, and most of them are quite precious. If they are contaminated by high dimensions, even if they are not all changed in a bad direction, it would be a pity. These pollution phenomena, to this day, Lin Du
We haven't found a way to reverse it yet. We can only deal with it in a more negative way.
So in order to safely take the things out of the mine, we have to face this tunnel that is blocked by collapsed earth and rocks. So what should we do?
What else can I do? Just dig it out.
Although I am not a civil engineering major, I can still do this simple operation of setting up wooden piles to support wherever there is a collapse. However, the idea of using the extra-dimensional exile technique to open the entrance of the tunnel in one go was ruled out from the beginning.
Yes. This place will collapse, not because there is no support. Even if the passage is opened in one go, it will just collapse again.
In the direction of excavation, Lin chose to dig in from the outside in. The most important thing was to use firewood as support pillars. This village prepared a lot of firewood, but they were all placed beside the small square outside the mine. It is precisely because of these
The tools and materials beside the cave entrance were not covered up at all from the beginning. Only then would someone think that these villagers had bad intentions, and they only paid some attention after entering the tunnel.
But things happen, and they have to come to an end. Civil engineering seems to be a heavy work, but it is not too easy for Master. Bless yourself with the power of great strength, bless the wood with light objects, and use the magic to block the earthwork in the tunnel.
Use the Dimension Exile Technique to cut off bit by bit to avoid cutting off too much in one go and leaving no time to place pillars for support.
Because the three women were busy deep in the mine and there was no one to disturb them, Lin's work speed went faster. Before dark, the tunnel had been completely opened and reinforced. Since he did not plan to stay here for a long time,
, this passage is also temporary, so Lin did not consider any aesthetics or convenience, so he just inserted pillars wherever he wanted.
As for the issue of other people's mining in the future, to be honest, judging from Fen's attitude, he planned to drain this vein. Because he did not plan to stay for a long time, this mine was abandoned, and someone did not feel bad at all. Anyway, it was not abandoned.
You can't take much away, so why not give it all to the Lich for use.
Firstly, she has a purpose; secondly, it is better to take advantage of one's own people than to take advantage of outsiders. Besides, this mine is a private mine that no one knows about, so it is better than going to the magic stone mine that is heavily protected by others when the need arises in the future.
