Chapter 181 Mithril Mine! Setting Sun City
"Blood of God."
Xiao En's figure was suspended in mid-air several hundred meters above the ground, and the biting cold wind blew the black and gold robes on his body. There was a faint sound of battle explosions in the distance, which were the recruits who were clearing out the filthy mud monsters. Most of them are extraordinary beings who have been promoted in the third period, and their average professional level is only 3-5. However, relying on the advantages of rare items and equipment, it is not difficult to deal with these polluted mud monsters with an average challenge level of about 5.
“Abnormal fluctuations were detected from the underground.”
“The target is [Sacred Blood Contaminated Body]!”
Under Xiao En's feet is a piece of blood-red rock, which is the product of the penetration of God's blood. In the center is a swamp with a diameter of more than a thousand meters. Large bubbles emerge from the dark red mud, accompanied by the gentle movement of the earth. With a muffled trembling sound, countless bloody sludge gathered, and a behemoth dozens of meters high emerged from the swamp. Its body is composed of dark red pus and blood, and bubbles are constantly popping up on the surface of the skin. The surging pus is mixed with dust and rocks to form a natural armor.
——Sacred Blood Devourer [Super Giant Mud Monster] [Elementalization] [Lord] (Challenge Level 20)? !
This is a relic from the Dark Age era. It was supposed to be transformed into the blood of the Holy Spirit, but in the weird country, there is no need to expect to condense any normal things and not turn into all kinds of strange and evil things. That’s pretty good.
——Summon the Lord of Elements (9th-level spell)!
Xiao En expressionlessly began to cast the spell. Along with a tearing space crack, a giant figure that looked like a mountain also appeared on the ground.
"Who is calling the Son of the Mountains?" A rumbling sound came.
Countless boulders gather to form the huge outline of its arrival on the material plane. Its burly body is entirely made of rocks. This is a super giant earth element, an elemental king from the inner plane. They walk on The ground is like a moving mountain. The rank of the Elemental Lords is still higher than that of the Elemental Elders. They are secondary elemental lords with a biological level of 25 or above. After arriving on the main material plane, some of their strength will be weakened. The average challenge level is about 18.
In fact, many creatures cannot defeat the caster's 9-level summons, such as the Druid's Elemental Legion, the Priest's Alien God Attendant, the Mage's Abyss Gate, Alien Gate, and Undead. Natural disasters, elemental kings, etc.
Boom.
Under Xiao En's order, the Earth Elemental Lord raised his fist with a diameter of several meters and hit the divine blood devourer in front of him. Even the aftermath of the battle between the two super giant creatures caused the nearby rocks to Cracked, countless blood-colored rocks fell into the mire, and all the polluted mud monsters that were slightly closer were crushed into debris.
Xiao En himself observed the battlefield unhurriedly, as if searching for something. It was not until the summoning time of the Elemental Lord ended that the mountain-like figure gradually dissipated, and he calmly cast the spell again.
The Elemental Lord is powerful, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, the summoning time is very short, and one casting level can only last for six seconds.
Even a level 20 mage can only last two minutes.
Using a level 9 spell slot to summon a thug that can only last for two minutes is still a bit of a luxury for most spellcasters.
Xiao En is purely because the magic pool is very abundant.
——Summon the Lord of Elements.
One more time.
A rising raging fire emerged. In the burning sea of fire, a figure of a fire elemental giant appeared on the battlefield. It held a blazing war hammer with endless anger. It started as soon as it appeared. Attacks all enemies within range indiscriminately.
The swirling flames formed its huge lower body, which looked like Ragnaros, the Lord of Fire Demons.
Among the four elements, the fire element has the most violent temper. It is best to add protection against fire damage when summoning them, otherwise they may be burned to char. The Divine Blood Devourer, who had just been hammering each other with the Earth Elemental Lord for a long time, had no time to take a breath. The next second, the Fire Elemental Lord pounced on it. The mud on its body was burned into charred pieces by the fire, and the skin was visible to the naked eye. The cracks peeled off, and traces of dark golden blood flowing in its body appeared in front of Xiao En.
Strictly speaking, the fire element has the strongest combat effectiveness among the four elements, because most stars are connected to the fire element plane.
Bang bang bang!
There is not much skill in the battle between the two super giant creatures. Their huge bodies cannot use any advanced fighting skills. They just punch hard to the flesh and exchange injuries for injuries. Every strike they make shakes the earth. Relying on their huge size and powerful basic attributes, even an ordinary punch is enough to crush other creatures.
"Almost."
Xiao En's eyes finally fell on the roaring divine blood devourer in the swamp. The opponent had already entered a state of serious injury, with less than half health, and under his Within the kill line.
——Law: Death (9th-level spell)!
A wisp of obscure traces of death emerged. At this moment, Xiao En seemed to see the thread of death converging into runes, and finally forming a mantra of law that deprived all mortal beings of life. As Xiao En's fingertips touched Targeting the divine blood devourer in front of him, its huge body began to fall apart in the next second. Regardless of whether it was an evil object or an element, whether it was a mortal object or divine blood, at this moment, in Xiao En's eyes, it was a weapon that could be taken away at any time. life.
"Law: Death: If the target is not immune to instant death spells, immediately kill a creature with a life force of less than 120 points."
Boom.
The huge body of the Divine Blood Devourer turned into mud all over the ground, as if melting. In the core of its body, a blood-red crystal gradually emerged. Countless dark golden blood threads converged towards the crystal core, and the material on the ground continued to squirm to form a crystal-like extraordinary relic.
"Divine blood crystal detected!"
"Divine relic detected!"
Xiao En waved his hand gently, and the huge blood-red crystal fell into the The moment he touched it in his palm, Xiao En saw the shadow of a huge giant. It was the descendant of the Mother of Stone, the son of the mountains - Hegodog, a demigod born with godhood and divinity. .
It has been a long time since He fell, and the remaining remains turned into the Divine Blood Devourer, an elemental monster lord.
“Clean the battlefield.”
"Collect all the blood rocks nearby and send them to the Heart of Machinery for research."
Xiao En expressionlessly crushed the blood-colored crystals in his hands. Along with wisps of pale golden blood traces, the remaining divine traces appeared. The sexual energy surged through his body along his skin.
1 point of divinity.
Different from the trace of divinity given to him by the three fairies in the lake, this divine power was obtained by him by killing evil objects, so it took him a while to digest it.
Xiao En needs to erase any remaining consciousness in his divinity, and finally integrate it into his soul and transform it into his own immortal divinity. However, as a spellcaster with both arcane and spiritual pathways, it will be much easier for Xiao En to digest the divine power left by the monster, because he can crush all the broken personality fragments.
If he encounters a particularly difficult-to-digest divine source, Xiao En can directly sacrifice it to Terra's will, since it's not picky about food anyway.
Shawn is eating divinity one bite at a time, while Terra’s will is swarming up to eat it.
"——In early October 1002 of the Fourth Era, you led your followers to eliminate the source of pollution in the ooze pit and killed the monster lord - the Divine Blood Devourer. (Legendary +2)"
The mysterious knowledge in the brain seems to have evolved, and Xiao En knows everything with just a thought.
Legendary.
As expected, it is necessary to kill truly legendary enemies in order to condense the legend of this world.
The whole battle ended before dusk.
As the last batch of recruits evacuated, a teleportation circle was opened in the messy mud. With a sudden roar, a huge construction machine crossed the teleportation gate and appeared in the mud. In the ground, a driver wearing mechanical glasses in the crowd took off his goggles. He looked at everything around him, the antennae on his forehead trembled slightly, and frowned: "This damn place is not easy to dig!"
"Bring the adamantine drilling machine over here!"
A tank-like structure gradually emerged. Its head was a huge drill bit with a sheen of adamantine on the surface. The heavy tracks ran over it. The body, after stopping, tilted at an angle, and soon began to rotate rapidly. A large amount of gravel splashed along the conveyor belt and was sent behind it, and a mine tunnel with a diameter of about three meters quickly emerged.
"No!"
"It's easy to collapse below."
The speaker was a strange creature dressed as an engineer, not a human being. It had a head similar to a hippopotamus and was tall and tall, nearly two meters tall. It was tall and carried a heavy firearm behind its back. After shouting at other non-human creatures, it commanded: "Aether boring machine!"
"Come here."
< br>“Bring the Ether boring machine over! This is our first job, don’t mess it up!”
A behemoth that looked like a land fortress emerged. It had a tank-like appearance and was a super-large vehicle that could slowly dig tunnels underground. This huge construction machine can also be directly used in warfare. The strong armor can protect against most injuries, and the internal space is enough to accommodate a team of 10 soldiers. Its wheels have been activated by magic and can move in the direction indicated by the driver. This vehicle is different from modern large-scale machinery. Its style is a bit like the machine in Metal Slug. The activation magic gives the entire machine a very high flexibility.
Its track wheels can move independently, which is equivalent to four-wheel drive positioning. Chuchuchu!
After replacing the Ether boring machine, the progress of digging the mine tunnel was obviously much faster. A large amount of gravel was transported out by the conveyor belt and soon piled up into a hill.
“Thank you.”
Quin-To's burly figure appeared behind the crowd. He held a box of cigars in his hand and distributed them to other creatures around him familiarly: "This gadget from the Real Kingdom comes from the Kingdom of Dorne. Try it. It’s not the same as what we usually smoke.”
Loose smoke, loose smoke.
The leader of this group was the burly man with the head of a hippopotamus. He stretched out his hand to take it, and a wisp of flame appeared on his fingertips. He lit it and took a sip, spitting out a cloud and saying: "It's a bit light."
“It’s still the Shire tobacco from Setting Sun City that smokes vigorously.”
These weird-looking intelligent creatures come from Setting Sun City. Some of them are natives of the material plane, some are interstellar space races, and some are from the interstellar space race. There are mercenaries from other planes.
Among the seven Witch King cities, Setting Sun City has the smallest population (about 60,000 to 70,000), but the largest number of spellcasters, and the entire city is not on land.
Quinn Tow looks much more experienced than in the past.
When he met Xiao En in the dark forest, he was still a downcast exile. But now he is wearing an exquisite mithril armor, a huge gem amulet on his chest, and a giant power amulet on his hand. His wrists were very eye-catching, and he looked like an explosive mineral owner. He greeted others familiarly, and in just half an hour, he excavated a bottomless underground mine tunnel.
The level of magic in Setting Sun City is quite high. After all, they originated from a group of primordial warlocks who drained the life force of the entire planet.
And unlike other Witch King cities, Setting Sun City has the heritage of magicians. According to Xiao En’s understanding, they are a group of people who can summon mechanical turrets. As long as they are rich enough, they can drive Gundam before the legend. engineer. Although artificers are also one of the advanced professions that belong to the alchemy path, they are more scientific and are very good at activating constructs.
The entire excavation lasted one day and one night.
As an excited sound came from deep underground, insect miners soon entered the underground mine tunnel.
“We have found a vein!”
Some ore samples were brought up. The surface of those metal ores showed a little bit of silvery white, as if they were insoluble in other ores and were a little speckled. Dots, shining slightly under the sunlight.
“The purity is not high, so we have to keep digging deeper.” A gray dwarf dressed as a blacksmith said.
He stretched out his hand to greet the others and said, "Is there anyone here who knows magic?"
"Help me make a furnace and bring it out."
"Let me see how much mithril I can extract."
Half a day passed quickly. After working for a long time, the gray dwarf walked out from behind the furnace with a small metal pellet on a tray. He held up the silver-white metal the size of half a grain of rice and said, "Not even that." One gram.”
“There may be fine gold in the depths of this vein. Is there any way to explore further?”
A tall figure walked out of the crowd. She had pointed ears and looked like an elf, but unlike other elves, her eyes had a trace of blood. After glancing at the mithril greedily, The bloody elf muttered: "I have a way to try."
"But I want to get a share of the output here."
The gray dwarf stared at her for a while, and then lit up. She took out the Terra emblem under her burqa and said in a deep voice: "Friend. Just for exploration, you are not qualified to get one."
The tall elf didn't seem surprised. She raised her wrist and said The emblem of the bloody setting sun appeared, and he said calmly: "We can invest in shares."
"How about three hundred thousand soul stones?"
hiss.
Hearing what the other party said, the others around him looked shocked. Quinto couldn't help but look surprised, because he had never noticed the existence of such a person in the team.
In fact, when he was recruiting a prospecting team in Setting Sun City, some interested people had already noticed him.
There are not many living people in the Weird Country, and unfamiliar faces can easily attract attention.
Not all minerals require an ether boring machine. Ordinary copper ore and iron mines simply do not need such large-scale alchemical structures. You must know that the cost of an ether boring machine is hundreds of thousands of gold. Dele, there are only two or three machines in the entire material plane, and they are basically in the hands of the established plane business groups.
Setting Sun City is different from other Witch King cities. It has an abandoned starport. As the name suggests, it is a port leading to outer space. It is used to park starships, dimensional spaceships, living starships and other starships.
Although the Weird Kingdom has been isolated by gray fog for nearly a thousand years, the star port in Setting Sun City has always been well maintained.
The star port is not large in scale and can only accommodate one or two dimensional ball spacecraft at most.
In fact, next to the well-known Baldur's Gate, in the direction of Waterdeep, there is the largest starship starport in the entire Faerun plane.
In the weird country, if it hadn't been for the arrival of the pillars of the past, the aboriginal people and the spirits from other worlds would have joined forces to explore outer space.
After all, they have always known about the existence of the Suen Mind Flayer fleet. If the gray fog had not blocked the space, the star battleships might have made it difficult, but it would still be easy to build a few living star ships.
The gray dwarf is Father Terra. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Friend. I need to report this matter to the archbishop before I can give you an answer."
This bloody man with a cold face The elf didn't care and said calmly: "Okay."
"I'm not in a hurry."
The gray dwarf priest quickly returned after giving the person next to him a look. At the furnace, take out the ritual materials and light them. Even a priest of Terra could not make a decision on such a big matter. After all, a large amount of manpower and resources had been mobilized to mine this mithril mine.
The students of the first three phases of the Heart of Machinery cleared the surrounding monsters in batches, and all funds were mobilized in the deep pit mine.
This is the first large-scale mineral vein mined by the Church of Terra, and it must be a high-value target.
A few minutes later.
He walked out with a natural expression and said: "The Archbishop agreed."
"When will the soul stone be delivered?"
The blood-colored elf's eyes turned and he said softly: "First deliver half of the soul stones, and the rest will be replaced with materials for building the mine."
"We want half of the shares."
The gray dwarf priest frowned when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "You are too greedy. At most 30%."
The blood elf elegantly lifted up his long hair and smiled: "At least 40%. "
The gray dwarf inadvertently touched the pendant near his ear, and he pondered for a moment: "At most, make a friend."
"After all, this is just the first time we have cooperated."
"You have to know that what our church is best at is discovering underground mineral treasures."
There was a hint of hesitation in the expression of the blood elf. After giving a slight signal, she turned and left the crowd. It seemed that she had activated some kind of magical object. She was probably not the one who made the decision. After a moment, she turned around and said: "Deal!"
"Looking forward to our next visit. cooperation.”
