Yun Xiaohan used his erudite skills to identify a dozen pieces of silver ore. Although no mithril components were found, mica was found in two of the ores. The content of mithril was extremely low, and the ores on the ground were all covered with mica.
Even the content of silver in the abandoned mines was very low, let alone mica and mithril, so it was normal for such a situation to occur. Moreover, Yun Xiaohan felt that if the Lord of Ivas City really knew that there was mithril here,
I'm afraid these are not the only ones guarding the mine here.
After confirming the existence of the silver mine, Yun Xiaohan immediately turned to explain the situation to Tina behind him, and then asked her if she could contact Liya now.
Tina said that she can always keep in touch with Liya, and what she knows is equivalent to Liya knowing. What she said made Yun Xiaohan feel a little weird and a little uncomfortable, but before he could think about it,
Tina's next words attracted all his attention.
Tina expressed a certain degree of agreement with Yun Xiaohan's speculation, but also added some content that Yun Xiaohan didn't understand.
She told Yun Xiaohan that although the limestone mines belonged to Ivas City, the Zhelu Mountains were not within the territory of Ivas City. As an area where monsters were active, the Zhelu Mountains were not under the administrative management of the empire at all, so naturally they were not.
It does not belong to any territory. It can be said to be a no-nonsense zone. Therefore, the mineral veins under the Zhelu Mountains have become unowned resources. In theory, any lord can participate in the competition.
When Tina said this, Yun Xiaohan completely figured it out. A large amount of wealth was right in front of him, but the ownership did not belong to him. If he were the Lord of Ivas City, he would probably block the news.
Yun Xiaohan felt that this haunting was most likely caused by the Lord of Ivas City on purpose. The original miners were all free citizens, and most of them had families in the area. Once a silver mine was discovered, it would be difficult to block the news, and it had to be avoided.
Let so many free people go home. Therefore, the only way to scare away the original miners is to scare away the original miners, and then find people who will not leak the secrets to mine. For example, looking for death row prisoners or slaves is a good choice, and then arrange for private troops to come
With guards outside, it would be difficult for the news to leak out.
Yun Xiaohan told Tina his thoughts, and Tina also felt that this was very likely, but Yun Xiaohan did not receive the notification that the second phase of the mission was completed.
Yun Xiaohan guessed that he might need to find more critical evidence, so he planned to move forward, but he didn't have to dig any more this time.
We have now gone very deep into the mine, and even with the torch, the illumination is very low. Yun Xiaohan has already developed a negative BUFF that reduces his hit rate by 20%.
Suddenly, the corner of Yun Xiaohan's eye suddenly caught sight of a black shadow. Yun Xiaohan thought he was dazzled at first, because the black shadow could be said to have flashed by, and Yun Xiaohan didn't see it clearly at all.
But Yun Xiaohan just found stones from the ground for identification. After identification, he threw the ore directly. Players throw ore directly at their feet, and the movement of the character is controlled by the keyboard. In the case of just pressing the W key
The next step must be going straight forward, so the ores thrown down along the way will naturally line up in a straight line.
But Yun Xiaohan discovered that one of the several ores that were originally lined up in a straight line had been knocked out of the straight line. This showed that Yun Xiaohan was not mistaken just now, and something had indeed appeared.
Yun Xiaohan's heart tightened, and he could no longer control his curiosity. He originally thought that the haunting in the mine was fake and that the Lord of Ivas City had found someone to pretend to be it, but now all the old miners have left.
It stands to reason that the Lord of Ivas City no longer needs to find someone to pretend to be a ghost.
Moreover, Yun Xiaohan was an intruder. He dared to break in even after rumors of hauntings had spread. It was obviously impossible for the pretended ghost to scare him away, so it was pointless to find a ghost to scare Yun Xiaohan.
.
In addition, Yun Xiaohan's intrusion was very sudden, and the Lord of Ivas City could not have been prepared. Therefore, Yun Xiaohan could basically confirm that this ghost had nothing to do with the Lord of Ivas City.
In this case, the black shadow that appears now is probably the real "ghost" in the haunted mine, and the Lord of Ivas is just taking advantage of it.
Yun Xiaohan is now becoming more and more curious about this "ghost". Although there are undead such as skeletons and zombies in "Decision", most of them exist as summons, and there are no undead like in some Western fantasy online games.
Camp, the Yaer continent is a continent belonging to the living, and there is not much living space for the undead.
In this case, Yun Xiaohan felt that the black shadow was either some kind of dark creature, a person with the ability to sneak, or an undead like a ghost. Yun Xiaohan was more inclined to the former two, because if it was the latter
If so, then it is truly haunted, and the task requires exploring the cause of the haunting, which seems a bit wrong.
Of course, this is just Yun Xiaohan's guess. It would make sense if this ghost was a ghost who died due to injustice, or if it was an undead caused by some dark substance.
But if this is the case, the profession is somewhat inappropriate. This task is more suitable for players of the priest and undead professions. From the first stage of the task, this task is obviously designed for stealth players. Therefore, Yun
Xiao Han still prefers the first two possibilities.
It's a pity that Yun Xiaohan hasn't learned the dragon roar skill [Secret Word of Life Breath], otherwise just one roar would make the sneaking target invisible. Now he doesn't have any invisibility detection skills, so he can't hide it at all.
If you find someone or something in the dark, you can only increase your vigilance secretly and keep moving forward to see if there are any other clues, or wait for the creature in the dark to reveal itself.
After walking forward for a while, Yun Xiaohan came to a three-way intersection. It was said to be a three-way intersection, but in fact it was still one road. One fork was where Yun Xiaohan came from, and the other was to continue deeper into the mine.
The remaining branch leads to a dug-out miner's temporary rest room.
Yun Xiaohan was worried that he couldn't find any clues. Naturally, he had to search carefully for this kind of miner's temporary rest room.
At this time, all the torches on the wall of the miners' lounge had been extinguished, but the torches were extinguished but not completely burned. After Yun Xiaohan used his own torch to light the torches on the wall one after another, the miners' lounge became bright again.
Got up.
Only then did Yun Xiaohan discover that in addition to a large number of simple stone chairs and tables in the miners' lounge, there was also a large stone room next to which contained a lot of ore. It seemed that this was not only a temporary resting place for the miners, but also a
