Act 46 Silver Mine (7) (Second update, please support, you will die if no one supports you)
Cold iron ore is a very valuable mineral. According to past games, adding cold iron to a metal weapon will increase the damage done to monsters in the same proportion.
A pure cold iron long sword can do twice as much damage to monsters as an ordinary long sword.
As any country in the world of Warnd, they have to face the problem of monsters for a long time, so the demand for cold iron is also extremely huge, but this kind of ore only exists in silver mines or copper mines.
There are also some associated crystal mines, so they are often valuable but not marketable.
In the market, the value of cold iron is almost equal to the same weight of gold. However, the specific gravity of cold iron is much higher than gold, so it is not necessarily wrong to say that it is as valuable as gold.
Brando said that there was cold iron here, which naturally attracted the attention of these teenagers. If they could dig up the cold iron, and then find a way to secretly transport some of the ore out to find a suitable buyer, it would be an unimaginable sum.
wealth.
Of course, in fact, people like them at least have some ways to do some sneaky things. As for the mines, it's not that they don't know, but they just don't bother to ask when there are not many.
After hearing the girl's question, Brando glanced at them and thought that it would be a good idea to win people's hearts with a little favor. After all, he might still need the other person's help, so he pointed to the sloping texture of the rock wall and replied: "
Just dig along these lines, but I don’t guarantee you’ll be able to dig it out, but there’s a rich ore layer behind it for sure.”
Ke Wen nodded, and at his signal, Maher picked up the pickaxe and dug in that direction, and then others also jumped in.
Brando himself had no intention of digging. On the contrary, he turned around and glanced at the other end of the tunnel - the dark tunnel extended to the end of the light. "Where does it lead over there?" He turned around and asked.
"There is another layer below," Ke Wen replied. He didn't work because of his health, but it seemed that others didn't mind - Brando also saw someone giving part of the dug ore to this frail young man.
Side: "But that floor has been abandoned."
Of course, Brando knew why the lower layer was abandoned. The boy said last night that it was because the tunnel between the big hive and the large honeycomb was dug down during mining, causing the monsters inside to pour out. Afterwards, it was with great difficulty that these monsters were removed.
I rushed back, but from then on no one dared to go to the bottom level of the mining area.
After listening to Ke Wen's words, he looked over there and simply walked straight into the depths of the tunnel.
"Wait," Ke Wen stopped him: "Sir, you'd better go later."
Brando stopped.
"Why?"
"The supervisor will come to check in a while, you'd better wait until he leaves before going." The young man replied.
"When will he come?"
"A quarter of an hour, sometimes half an hour."
Brando frowned: "Will it come again in the future?"
"Yes, the supervisor will come every few hours, but I can't say the specific time."
"A few hours, it seems enough -" Brando thought. Then he nodded and replied: "Thanks," and at the same time thought that this was the benefit of winning people's hearts.
He picked up the pickaxe and knocked twice on the rock wall. Under the power of the golden domain, the rock fell down like a landslide. But what really surprised Qiaoka, Maher and others was that Brando
His technique is extremely skillful, and the pickaxe almost follows the veins without any deviation——
The outer layer of low-quality silver ore slipped to Brando's feet. He fiddled with it casually. He was a little interested at first, but after a while, he simply sat aside and listened to the clanking sound of the pickaxe.
Maher and the others dug very quickly, and the light purple rock wall was peeled off in a moment, revealing a layer of gray rock behind. At this time, Brando signaled them to stop, and then asked Qiaoka to pry a small piece of rock from the rock.
Throwing the rock over, he picked up the rock and studied its clues for a long time, then held it up and said to the others.
"This is twill quartz, keep digging!"
"You mean it's there?" Ke Wen asked from the side.
Brando nodded.
There was a faint look of excitement on the faces of the teenagers. If they wanted to go to the outside world together, they would naturally need a lot of money, and now seemed to be an opportunity to make a fortune.
The speed of dropping the pickaxe became faster, and the clanking sound was endless. Brando saw the teenagers throwing away the unnecessary rocks one by one, and some rolled down to his feet. However, he took a look,
But I found that the quality of these twill quartz is getting better and better.
Brando was stunned for a moment. This is not normal. Twill quartz is a product formed by magic dispersion. Generally speaking, higher quality varieties can only be found in high-purity crystal mines, and the opposite is true in metal mines.
He raised his head and found that Maher, Qiaoka and several other teenagers had stopped. After the light gray rock was completely decomposed, a dark blue vein was exposed behind it - that was Hantie, but what really made them stop.
What came was not these cold irons, but the faintly fluorescent crystals in the cold irons.
Magic Eye Gem!
There are seventeen pieces in total, and each one is about the size of a thumb!
Brando couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had never heard of anyone digging out seventeen magic eye gems with a pickaxe. Not to mention the magic eye gems, they were even the lowest among magic crystals.
It is not said that so much of the ametrine used to make intelligence headgear was dug out at one time.
He patted his cheek, as if he was dreaming. But he immediately raised his head and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Brando looked at the cold iron vein containing the magic eye gem - in fact, the associated vein itself was a bit abnormally large. However, Brando took a look at the vein and concluded that at least one mine could be dug out of it.
Two tons of cold iron ore.
This amount is quite terrifying for Han Tie.
Cold iron is also a product infected by magic power, but Brando can't figure out how this vein is so unique that it allows so much magic power to gather here and form such a huge associated vein.
He shook his head and put away this idea, paused for a moment before saying: "This is the magic eye gem, it is very useful to me."
The teenagers were silent.
"Okay, let's split it in half." Maher said immediately. In fact, splitting in half is quite unfair to them. After all, Brando only has one person and they have seven.
But these teenagers all know that the other party is very powerful, and they are worried about whether Brando will be interested in making money.
But Brando shook his head: "I want them all, and sell your half to me." He patted his waist, "I can pay the bill immediately."
The magic eye gem is the most important material for making magic rings, but it is not just that. At least Brando knows that the White Lion Armor requires this material, and even the long-lost Windweaver Bow of the Golden Elf is the same.
Seventeen thumb-sized magic eye gems are enough to make a hundred sets of armor. Brando couldn't help but think to himself that it was really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort at all.
The teenagers were silent for a while, and then Ke Wen asked: "How much do you pay?"
"You don't know the market price of the magic eye gem. You can't sell it with this thing. I won't hide it from you. I am only prepared to pay half the price," Brando said unhurriedly: "But even if it is half
The price, I think, is enough to satisfy you.”
"How much is that?" asked the girl standing next to Ke Wen.
"Ten square gold coins."
There was a gasp of air in the mine. Square gold coins are the most commonly used currency in the south, and ten square gold coins are close to thirteen thousand tols. This is not a small amount of money.
"Are you really willing to pay... so much money?" Qiao Ka asked somewhat hesitantly.
"Of course, along with your reward."
The young man smiled awkwardly. Of course he knew that Brando was joking with him. He brought Brando down to the sky to ask for fifteen Thors, which was a big deal.
The frail young man listened but said nothing. He nodded and motioned to his companions to pry off the crystals from the cold iron veins and hand them to Brando. Naturally, Brando paid the bill readily. He saw that he would
When the bag containing the gold coins was handed over, the young men clicked it repeatedly and bit it with their teeth, as if they didn't believe it was gold.
But indeed, fifteen thousand tols is indeed an astronomical sum for these teenagers. They may not be able to earn so much money even if they work here for ten years, or even secretly transport silver ore and sell it.
The same goes for money.
Brando carefully put away the magic eye gem, but heard the young man named Ke Wen ask from the side: "Sir, do you want these cold irons?"
Brando glanced at the long vein of cold iron ore and thought that of course he wanted it, but not now. Sooner or later, this mine would be his own.
He shook his head.
The young man let out a sigh of regret. Without Brando, it would be much more troublesome for them to get these ores out.
But after all, this accident was just a small episode in the boring mining process.
About half an hour later, the supervisor whom Ke Wen mentioned was finally late. He seemed to know these teenagers. Not only did he say hello to them, he also mistook Brando for a new member among them.
Ke Wen, Maher and Brando all tacitly agreed not to deny it this time, and after the other party left, Brando finally found the opportunity to go deep underground.
Saying goodbye to those teenagers, he walked along the deep, lightless underground tunnels to the lowest level of the mining area. There, the criss-crossing mine tunnels had been abandoned many years ago, and at this moment, there was no life in the entire cold underground.
If an ordinary person walks alone in these places, they will feel instinctively terrified.
But Brando felt very satisfied walking in the darkness.
No one is the best!
Finally, he stopped at a blocked corridor. After glancing left and right to confirm that it was deep enough, he stretched out his palm, and a sky-blue destiny card flashed in his palm:
It's the Sylph Spider.
