Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

“Is this a private mine?” Kaya asked suddenly, who had not spoken.

Minerals must be state-owned, this is Earth’s concept. In Midi, the ownership of the mineral veins is the same as that of Earth’s gangsters fighting for territory. Whoever has the big fist owns it. It’s just that in most cases, national-level organizations have the biggest fist, and therefore as it should be by rights own the ownership of minerals.

But for newly discovered mineral veins, some discoverers with better skills and ambitious will find ways to swallow them privately and get the most benefit from them. As long as you can hide it, try to hide it for as long as you can, until one day you can’t keep it anymore. In order to achieve this goal, even if it is a murder, it will not hesitate…

It seems that this is a group of people I met. Lin nodded, agreed with Kaya’s statement, because this is also the answer that he thinks is the closest to the facts. But he still said conservatively: “Although I vaguely guessed that this is a private mine, I don’t know what it is. It should be a valuable mineral if they will kill people at all. Otherwise, they risk offending. Magician’s risk. To do this kind of thing, as long as they don’t have the corresponding military force, then the surviving Faye will destroy the village. That’s a proper thing.”

With the master and disciple three The conversation, they kept going deep into the tunnel. If only relying on the torch, or the fluorescence of Hallumi’s bright light technique, I am afraid they will have to groping forward cautiously. However, Lin’s improved lighting technique illuminates the entire passage as if walking in a passage full of electric lights in the 21st century.

It is unusually bright, with almost no blind spots, and it can be directly illuminated at the bottom of the passage. Of course, it is an unrealistic delusion to expect the light to turn a corner and shine into the passage behind the corner. At best, Lin just illuminates all the parts he can see.

For this reason, there are many small creatures such as geckos, lizards, etc., constantly avoiding the sudden light. Their fleeing figures are clearly visible in sufficient light.

Although doing so will also beat the grass to scare the snake, alarming the ambushing enemy ─ ─ if any. But the bigger advantage is that it eliminates the oppression and mysterious feeling that the dark cave brings to people, and makes people no longer afraid of things in the dark corners. And some fork roads and passages were also under the light, one after another appeared.

In the past, when exploring in caves or tunnels, the most common problem encountered was the mountain wall in the depression, whether it was a passage leading to a fork road, or just a concave mountain wall. Leaning on the dim torch or faint rays of light, you can’t simply tell if you don’t look closer. If you ignore the fork in the road, you may be ambushed from behind, so you have to be careful.

It’s fine now, the whole passage is illuminated. Occasionally, the blind spots created by rocks can actually hide no threatening creatures.

However, as you go deeper, there is a strange wave of power that spreads faintly in the air. At the same time, the mineral deposits in this tunnel gradually appeared.

On the rock wall, sparsely inlaid with glittering and translucent crystals of various colors. It has not been polished, but it is full of mana power. On the maze, it is very common for magic stones to be used as a companion mine, and the main mineral veins are sparsely dotted. But if you can find a vein with magic stones as the main output, you can make a lot of money, just like digging for oil in Earth.

This place…looks like a magic stone vein, with large expanses of various crystals exposed. From red to orange and yellow, it gradually changes, occasionally dotted with crystals close to green.

Because I haven’t seen other magic stone veins, it is impossible to compare the value of this vein in front of me. To be honest, someone has no idea about how to process a source stone into a standard size magic stone.

But anyway, it’s all money. It is said that in some places in Midi, in large transactions, magic stones are directly used as trading currency. And no matter how the magic stone’s value fluctuates because of its appearance, no matter how low it is, it will not go down.

The most important thing is that this mineral vein explains why those people are willing to risk offending Faye and kill people with their own thoughts. Even strangers passing by here by chance seem to have no intention of letting people leave.

Thinking of this, Lin had to sighed then said. At first, I didn’t have the idea of ​​exploring the secrets of this village, and of course I didn’t know about this mineral vein. If they don’t have the idea of ​​killing people and just let them go, there will be no next thing at all.

Now I am trapped in the tunnel, even if I haven’t seen the things outside with my own eyes. But just thinking about it, Lin felt that he should be able to guess a pretty close. The villagers were impossible not to search for the carriage, nor did they impossible not to disturb Lich in the car; and if they offended the former Demon King-sama, they could escape for a lifetime, then hell.

However, he didn’t want to care about the bad things outside. Lin held the staff tightly, turned his head and said to the two girls who were blinded by the magic stone veins: “Cover your ears. Maybe you can’t hear that voice, but it may be a little uncomfortable. So it’s better to cover it up, although it may not be useful to cover it.”

I was trained before, but the two girls are very surprised at this time. He covered his ears with both hands obediently, and looked towards his teacher in a puzzled manner. Lin pricked the staff toward the ground, and muttered incantion. This is the detection spell used in the vampire castle. It uses ultrasonic feedback to detect buildings and maze terrain.

In the sound of the incantation, bursts of sound waves spread outward, refracting feedback constantly. In this continuous process, Lin Qian’s Terrain Map in the tunnel gradually took shape.

Because of continuing to cast the spell, Lin put his forehead on the staff, closed his eyes, and chanted incantation intently. But in the eyes of the two girls, this magic stone vein seemed to resonate with something, causing a slight vibration. The gravel on the ground bounced gently, and even the color of the magic stone mine seemed to be flowing, changing in a subtle way.

When the curse ceased, Lin opened his eyes and looked at the Terrain Map that was drawn in the sky in front of him, carefully examined it, and said to himself: “It’s really strange. There will be some differences.”

Because there are many references to geographic locations in the maze, you can easily mark your location on the map. Lin looked at his position on the map and the cave he was actually in, and studied the anomalies that showed the difference. I suddenly noticed that the part of the block with color difference that can be compared is the exposed magic stone vein.

“is it possible that this magic can still be used for prospecting.” Lin was only surprised for a moment, and then relieved. Different materials have different performances for reflected sound waves, and because of the difference in feedback time, the program that only measures the distance and then draws the point has an unexpected function.

But the sound wave detection should only act on the surface, how can it enter the solid within the body? No pile driver is used to transmit shock waves to the interior, not to mention that even with Earth’s advanced technology, it is not so easy to detect the solid within the body. Is it because of the use of magic, so there is an unexpected reaction. “It seems that we can focus on the excavation of this aspect of the function in the future.”

It is not the first time that two girls have seen such a building and a maze structure map. Of course, they can see this tunnel clearly at a glance. structure. The tunnel is not deep, but there are a lot of branch roads, it seems that mining has been for some time. In addition to the mine in which he was in, there were also several mines that also responded with suspected magic stone veins. In one of them, not only the space is larger, but even the response of the suspected magic stone is larger than here.

“teacher, do you want to visit here?” Kaya was speaking. She pointed to the largest mine and asked.

Lin nodded, let the two girls lead the way to the deepest mine. Along the way, many damaged tools can be seen, discarded in relatively hidden corners. The air is filled with a very high concentration of power, as if it is about to form a substance, liquefied. If you meditate in this environment, you should be able to achieve the effect of twice the results for half the effort.

And this reminded Lin another question. Judging from their own experience, it should not be the first time that the group of villagers did this. However, among the people killed by them, there should be no magicians; or, because of the wrong choice, the men would be buried by earth and rocks at the entrance of the tunnel.

Because of an environment like this, for a formal magician, it is more efficient to accumulate power than meditation is the speed of power recovery after using magic. If you still feel that it is not fast enough, then go to hug a magic stone source stone. Even if it is not cut, the power contained in it is genuine.

In other words, here, the masters almost have unlimited mana power. A passage blocked by earth and rocks is really not a big problem. Otherwise, take a gamble and use the apprentice-level magic of the third ring–any door, opened in a place outside the field of vision, and it is also possible to leave.

However, considering that the movement of any door is too large, a space must be opened to pass through the portal before the magician can pass. If you do this, it should be easy to be stared at and beaten by someone guarding the outside.

In short, in such an environment, it is really unrealistic to want to trap a magician.

Walk into the largest mine, which is filled with a strong atmosphere of power. The magic stone veins exposed outside the rock walls even begin to glow by themselves, showing multi-colored colors. It looks beautiful, but it’s actually not a good thing. This shows that the power of this place can no longer be stored and began to spill. But this also represents another thing, that is, there may be high-quality magic stones here.

While groping for the rock walls and mineral veins here, Lin was thinking to see if there is any way to get the’high-quality’ magic stone. But the two girls quickly jumped out of the dazzling scenery in front of them. Because of a strange feeling, their thoughts flashed through.

Watching all around carefully, the careful Kaya first noticed the slight beating of the gravel on the ground. Hallumi pressed his hand to the ground, trying to find out the source of the vibration.

It’s just that this source does not seem to need to be checked. Because the movement is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be felt,’it’ is moving towards this place.

“teacher!” Hallumi screamed, reminding someone.

And someone is not completely aware of what happened. At least after seeing the strange performance of the two girls, he paid more attention to all around, and he also noticed this inexplicable vibration. He slammed the wand on the ground, sending out a stronger shock wave directly into the ground. I hope to use this method to detect the condition of the solid within the body.

But this action seemed to anger the existence hidden in the earth even more.
