The smell of sulfur still lingers in the air. As we bypass the peaks in front of us, most of the huge mountains covered by gray-black volcanic rocks appear in the distance. The overflowing lava formed rings with distinct layers around them. On the outermost surface,
The tenacious plants have taken root on it.
Some warning signs abandoned by the Borghese Regional Management Agency can be vaguely discerned below. It has been exposed to too much rain, and the peeling paint has been covered with rust. After going around the huge volcano, the crater is still a cherry red, and there is no big eruption.
It has exhausted its energy, but in its current state, there is no possibility of a second eruption.
The young dragon was moved away from the volcano and landed on the ground about ten kilometers away. It let out a roar. During the more than three days of flight, Kasihei only rested less than two or three times. He immediately lay down and opened his mouth.
His mouth was very big, his breathing was rapid, and a large ball of hot white air came out, and he looked at Cassia with half-open eyes.
Shaking his head, Cassia took off half the bag of scales and weapons, and turned on the communicator.
"I will be able to reach the volcano in a few hours. After you have taken protective measures, you can take those machines and head towards the approximate location I explained." After saying that, he looked at Cassia Hei, who glanced around, here.
It is a shallow pit with grass growing up to its waist, which can be used as a camouflage for the young dragon.
"Be patient for now. After finishing the work in two or three days, I'll ask you to fill your stomach. You stay here and don't move around at will."
"Ah,,ga,,quack,," it was still an unknown sound. The young dragon lay on the ground and roared, as if it was protesting. After several times, its compromise was read in its eyes. Wait until
Cassia's leaving back disappeared from its eyes. Cassia raised his head and roared a few times. He stared at the mountain peak in front of him with some doubts for a long time, recalling the memory of flying around the mountain. But in the end, he didn't remember anything.
, the young dragon lowered his head, lay on the grass and closed his eyes to rest.
"Is there a vague feeling? Or is it that Cassia doesn't know the meaning of that feeling yet." Behind a piece of exposed rock, Cassia put away the tactical knife and thought. She was sure that her figure could be seen from the eyes of the young dragon.
After disappearing, he secretly returned here to observe the behavior of the young dragon.
The results obtained were not obvious. Thinking of the expression of the young dragon when hovering near the crater, Cassia felt relieved: "So far, it is certain that even second-class creatures such as dragons do not seem to grow to a certain age. For
The sensation of dragon bone fossils is not as strong as mine."
The lava spread far away, submerging the lake at the foot of the mountain and the ruins of the town. The concentration of "germs" in the air was not high, probably because some of it was carried away by the wind, and the raised volcanic ash was completely knocked down by the rain.
As long as it is not close to the mountain, the level of germs is a little higher than when Cassia came here.
On the way, I met Delya and the others who were pulling a few simple machines in a small truck. They were all wearing tight protection and had started taking corresponding hormones and drugs a few days in advance. Ye Jielin gave it to Cassia.
This method can provide better defense against low concentrations of germs.
Delya brought twelve people with her, who were quite capable. When the small truck could no longer move forward, the group of people got off the truck and carried out supplies and machines with clear division of labor.
"Aren't you going to take the remaining steel cans?" Delya asked when the twelve team members were walking in front when she saw Cassia getting on the car to determine the number and covering them with a rainproof cloth.
"No need, they will be needed in a few days." Cassia replied, and Delya jumped out of the car to follow the members in front.
"When I came here, Waters and I left the outer area of Manoma." Delya said on the way, her voice sounded muffled through the thick protective clothing. Seeing Cassia
After that, she had been observing herself as the group leader, adhering to the previous routine. In a short period of time, another change occurred that she could not see through.
"After careful discussion with Sotagang, based on the transportation route in his hands and the information we collected, we set our target in the Kingdom of Chir. It was established more than sixty years ago and has experienced many civil strife.
, it is not very peaceful now. There are troubles inside and outside that can be solved by force, which is in line with our requirements. And the land area is considered to be above average among the countries there. However, because of the mountainous terrain, development is not very
Good. They rely on rich mineral resources to survive, but they don’t have the strength of the Imperial Mining Company. They don’t have many high-end equipment. Many of them are machines from small manufacturers here in the Empire and other countries, and they are destructive mining.
In less than ten years, it has already begun to face difficulties."
Cassia knew the influence that machinery and equipment had on mining. The mining in the small town was the same. The factory in the small town was supported by the coal resources under the Lilac Peak. After all, it was a business without capital, Cassia remembered,
The coal under Lilac Peak has no ownership. The only cost the small town factory has to spend is the cost of violent mining and transportation.
"Waters brought more than 40 people there this time, as well as more than a dozen carriages of weapons and ammunition, and wanted to go there as soon as possible to test. When we went to pick up the steel cans, he and I went back to Manoma to see the atmosphere there.
He told us that we had to hurry up no matter what, so we made a decision immediately."
"But the prerequisite is to ensure your own safety. If you die, you will lose everything. Our current situation is not much different. The factory in Manoma was abandoned, but in the past few months, a new one has been rebuilt.
Production base." Cassia said while looking around. From time to time he would crush the volcanic rocks with his feet and pick up a better crystal diamond from it. The use of sound was more mature. He based on the research scholars he had read about
Acoustic data further expands the use of this ability. With concentration, as long as you remember the characteristics of a certain substance under sound waves, you can find what you want nine times out of ten by crossing a shallow layer of ground.
.
"If Manoma can go back, I will notify you as soon as possible. The factory there will restart, which will be very helpful to the business." Cassia put the thumb-sized diamond into his pocket.
"That's our best state." Delya smiled with some sigh, "By the way, the matters on Manoma are now managed by Knight Commander Hessler. I made a list for him, and I think this paragraph
He won’t be bored during the time.”
After walking for a while, Cassia and Delya's route had deviated from the team in front. After half an hour they arrived on the hillside, and shafts surrounded by lava appeared one after another. A steel cable that was blackened by the high temperature was still hanging on the hillside.
There, the two of them went down one by one.
"This is only a small part. After checking the rocks spewed out by the volcano, the harvest should be about four or five times that here. I don't know the value, but it should be able to serve as a large amount of funds for factory operations." Cassia took the photo. He patted the huge dragon skull in front of him and ignored Delya's surprised look. Some things lose their freshness and shock after seeing them too much. And this is only a dragon skull, nothing else.
After calming down her emotions, Delya glanced at Cassia, as if she wanted to read Cassia's mood.
Delya thought for a while and said: "You can swallow all these things at the inner port of Deslu. It is the most prosperous mineral trading area in the empire, and most of the high-end ore interior decorations in the empire come from there. , generally led by Imperial Mining Company and Golden Bank, many jewelry merchants and their suppliers have gathered here. After I go back, I will arrange for someone to handle this matter alone. As long as I can recruit good designers, I think this The value of the batch will double."
"Jewelry merchant?" Cassia said.
"It is a type of open business. As long as it is run well and can please the nobles, it will be very profitable. It is similar to us. The difference lies in the nature of the goods and the customers." Delya did not understand why Cassia said this. This sentence, but I still explained it in a comfortable mood. (To be continued)
