In the middle of this mineral vein, a young magician crawled out from a crack under a stone cliff.
He was holding a piece of magic red copper in his hand. Even though he emerged from the crack in the stone and the sky was filled with stars, he still excitedly said to the middle-aged magician waiting outside:
"Teacher, look, what is this...?"
The middle-aged magician was sitting on a chair with a tent set up next to the rocky cliff behind him. He had just drank a glass of hot milk and was a little sleepy at this time. Not long after he closed his eyelids, he was startled by the assistant's shout and was startled all over.
The magic book in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
But the other person stood up, glanced at the sky, and snapped his fingers, and a faint light floated above his head.
"Red copper!"
The middle-aged magician took the piece of dark red metal from his assistant and said in surprise.
Then he quickly patted his assistant on the shoulder and said: "It must be very cold in the crack down there. Come and drink a cup of hot milk to warm yourself up. How big is the space under this stone crack?"
"Teacher, the crack below is also very narrow. There is no natural cave inside as you predicted. An interlayer rich in copper can be seen in the crack below, and some magical red copper has condensed near the stone wall." Then.
The assistant wiped his dirty face and said happily to the middle-aged magician.
"This is it. I'm going to apply to buy the land here. I guess the Magic Guild still needs to dredge it up!" The middle-aged magician said overjoyed: "It can be seen that this is a copper mine with extremely rich reserves.
The mineral vein, these magical red coppers are the associated ores of this mineral vein, we are destined to make a fortune!"
The assistant's expression was also very excited. He took the hot milk handed over by the middle-aged magician. When he saw that there was an empty cup from which he had just drank, he poured the hot milk into his stomach and said, "Teacher, it's so close here."
Dan Town, do we want to say hello to the local nobles?"
"I stopped by to take a look when I returned to Wilkes City this time. I don't know what these country bumpkins would think if they knew there were copper veins here!" The muscles on the middle-aged magician's face twitched unconsciously, and he quickly used his hands to
He rubbed the skin on his face vigorously.
"I heard that the Luther Legion is stationed here. The beast tide here has just ended. These border towns have made a lot of money because of the beast tide." The assistant sat on the ground and began to take off his tight leather armor.
.
"But they don't know that there is such a huge wealth so close at hand..."
The middle-aged magician smiled dryly.
"But... Teacher, this is not an empire-occupied area. You should think about how to develop this place earlier!" After saying that, the assistant lowered his head and flipped through the imperial law book on the magic belt, and then said: "
As usual, you need to wait for the lords to open up this forest and then pay 60% of the land to the Green Empire and Bena Province before you can buy this land."
The middle-aged magician smiled nonchalantly and said:
“Aren’t we already standing on this land? Didn’t we pioneer this place?”
The middle-aged magician stared at the face of the young assistant and said word by word: "Now this is a wasteland with nothing, even those monsters have escaped. I am standing here, and the land here now belongs to me.
…”
The magic assistant was trembling all over, curled up, and fell on the rocky ground, looking at the middle-aged magician painfully:
"Teacher...what's in your milk..."
His eyes were full of despair, and he probably knew the tragedy he was about to face.
"I don't understand...Teacher, why did you give me that drink..."
The magic assistant's eyes widened and he looked at the middle-aged magician standing in front of him.
He felt a sharp pain on his cheek, and his face had been stepped on by the middle-aged magician's leather boot.
"listen,
You are just a little magic assistant,
How can I get 10% of dry shares?
You shouldn't hold shares in such a copper mine..."
The middle-aged magician bent down and spoke into the young assistant's ear.
"If it weren't for me...
How do you know there are mineral veins hidden here...
I have been your assistant for three years...
Shouldn’t we get even 10% of what’s here?”
The assistant's voice became weaker and weaker...
He saw the middle-aged magician take out a bright dagger from his arms, and a sharp pain surged out of his chest. He felt blood pouring out of his chest, almost dyeing the magic robe red.
Chillness, fainting, severe pain... came to his mind one after another.
Then there was endless darkness, and he couldn't open his eyes at all.
The last bit of consciousness he had was the feeling that someone was dragging him hard, and his unconscious body fell. As he fell, he smelled the cracks in the ground again. Unfortunately, this time he did not wear leather armor or climbing protective gear, so he only felt that he was falling.
Into the endless darkness...
The middle-aged magician packed his luggage slowly, put some valuables into the magic waist bag, and threw the two cups and the pot for hot milk into the crevice next to the stone.
He did not take back the tent next to the stone cliff. He rode on the magic harpoon alone and flew slowly southward along the treetops in the darkness. He disappeared into the endless night soon.
…
Samira was like a cheetah, jumping nimbly onto the horizontal branch of a big tree, and she didn't know when she had the 'Sky Strike' in her hands.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Samira's tense face, Surdak stood up from the campfire and asked doubtfully.
"Nothing... It seemed like a mage flew over there just now. He glanced this way and then flew away again for some unknown reason."
Samira jumped down steadily from the horizontal branch and walked towards the armed Thunder Rhinoceros.
"It's so late, how could there be a magician flying over in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest?"
Suldak looked up at the dark night sky and said in confusion.
"Maybe he just happened to be passing by, but he seemed to be flying south just now... His skills were pretty good, and he flew close to the top of the tree, otherwise I might not have seen it..."
Samira stopped as she spoke and looked at the night sky in the distance again.
"He seems to be back again..."
"He goes around in circles again..."
"There seems to be some hesitation..."
"He's watching us..."
Samira closed her mouth, pulled the hood on her head, and jumped onto a tree casually.
Surdak's mouth formed an 'O' shape, and he discovered that this night did not seem so dark for a Windrunner who had crossed the second level.
Just when he was a little distracted,
A magician in black robes rode a magic harpoon and slid silently next to the bonfire in the camp.
He wore a magician's conical hat on his head, his beard was trimmed short and neatly, and his eyes were gleaming with sapphires.
Jumping down from the magic handle, the magic handle floating in mid-air disappeared out of thin air without even noticing the movement of the magic handle...
Suldak felt that he was definitely showing off his skills, at least Lance had never done so.
