Chapter 101: Wolf Crow (Part 2)

The city lord has been a little short of funds recently. He just built Portlandburg and wanted to acquire magic books across the mainland. Ge Zheng's original wealthy family quickly collapsed. It was a bit embarrassing to take out another million gold coins at this time.

Metal mines are money! Ge Zheng believes it very much. Therefore, in order to alleviate his economic crisis, it is necessary to develop metal mines as soon as possible. Ge Zheng gritted his teeth: I'm sorry to the people and let them endure it for a few days.

"Come!" Ge Zheng called out the guards and issued a series of orders of the city lords, allocating 100,000 gold coins to purchase spices. Then he divided it into small pieces and distributed it to everyone in Portlandburg. In addition, he allocated 50,000 gold coins to purchase a large amount of grain, and distributed it according to the head.

The pre-propaganda and education work must be done in place. Ge Zheng sent all his guards to preach to the residents in the fort...

While the public opinion propaganda was underway, Ge Zheng spent a small amount of money and hired 300 students to start digging metal mines. It turned out that when the preparations were reorganized, even if it was necessary to disturb the people for a period of time, the people could accept it.

However, this "several period" is limited. The first two days were fine, but on the third day, everyone could no longer bear it. Although the space spread was too large and the stench had been diluted, it still smelled very bad, just like rotten eggs overnight. Although everyone sent expensive spices, they always felt uncomfortable when they smelled the spices. The public's opinions gradually became bigger.

Fortunately, at noon on the fourth day, the huge dark rock demon's body had been corroded. Ge Zheng used the magic students from the academy to perform wind-type magic together. The strong wind kept blowing. It took more than an hour to exhaust dozens of students and finally gave Portlandburg a fresh environment.

Ge Zheng rushed to the mine with some impatience. He wanted to see what minerals there were in the mine. Ge Zheng, who was a little short of money, now placed all his hopes on this mine.

It was still Solgwiren who opened the way, and the wolf crow followed behind. Since the mine had been dug, the stones on the top of the small gourd cave were randomly thrown aside. Under the cover of the sun, these stones were black and non-beautiful blue-ray faces.

When Ge Zheng passed by these stones, he moved a little in his heart and took a piece of it and threw it into the storage space. There are many records in his think tank about the glowing stone. There are at least seven or eight kinds of stones that Ge Zheng could remember. There are also great differences between these stones. He is not sure what the use of this stone is now. He takes one piece first and then goes back and study it.

From the dug hole, I entered the small gourd hole on the upper floor. The light from the top of the hole fell in. There were many details in the hole that I couldn't see clearly before now. Ge Zheng was holding a mine shovel in his hand. This mine shovel was a bit like a pickaxe, with a pointed pickaxe on one side and a shovel-like shovel on the other side.

He held the mine shovel and knocked it here and there, and soon turned a piece of ore out of the ground. Ge Zheng held it in his hand and looked at the pattern: "Diquan copper, a good thing." He threw it into his storage space casually.

Solgevellen was bored. He originally wanted to see if the huge dark rock demon could leave some good things after he hung up, but Ge Zheng was only on the above layer and delayed countless times and refused to go down. He also understood that these ores were very precious and valuable, but he really couldn't get interested. The dragon's love for treasures and shining objects made him really love these dark ores.

He reached the entrance of the gourd cave alone, looked down, and the light and shadow overlapped below, and it was a little unreal: "Sir, I'm fine if I go down?" Ge Zheng nodded: "The toxins have been blown away with the wind, so you can't go down."

"Okay." Solgwiren felt relieved and jumped down. As soon as his feet fell to the ground, he was quite at ease, but he didn't expect that "ticaca" sounded, his feet sank, and he stomped something and fell into it.

Solgevellen frowned and muttered, "What's this?" He also knew a little dragon magic and exhaled a fire dragon. The fire dragon circled and tangled above his head. Solgevellen saw his feet clearly. He landed on a gray-black ground, which was very rough and mottled, mixed with some unknown material. His feet broke through the ground and fell into it, and it never reached his calves.

"Sir, sir, what is this?" A foreboding feeling arose in Solgwiren's heart. In this mine, his "luck" has always been bad.

When Ge Zheng heard his shouts, he hurriedly brought the wolf crow over. Given the ominous premonition in his heart, Solgevellen stood there and did not dare to move.

Ge Zheng used a flying magic and floated down. A ball of fire gushed out of the wolf crow's body, and it flew down. Ge Zheng turned around and looked at the wolf crow and breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, his armor was of good quality, and although it was just a temporary product, it could withstand the fire. However, it was numb, so he should install a solid "safe box" for this time bomb as soon as possible.

Ge Zhengfei was in the air and randomly shot out several low-level flame magic. More than a dozen fireballs flew in all directions, illuminating the surrounding area within a hundred meters. This area was full of this gray-black ground. Ge Zheng vaguely felt familiar. He scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Sorgeville, I'm not sure, but I have a reference answer for you."

The ominous premonition in the mind of the wisdom dragon became stronger and stronger. He asked carefully: "What reference answer?" "This, probably, is the metabolite of the Dark Earth Demon."

Metabolism is a fresh term for the intelligent dragon. He asked: "Methodology? What is metabolism?" Ge Zheng decided to explain it more tactfully: "For example, when we drink water and sweat, this is metabolism. When new substances are replenished, the substances are excreted from the body."

Solgevellen breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be sweating..." He thought his ominous premonition was wrong, but suddenly he thought of something: "Then is our metabolism considered when we eat and shit?" Ge Zheng laughed dryly: "You are very smart and know how to learn from one example. Yes, that's also true. The answer I give you is that this thing is probably the excrement of the dark rock demon. We just dried its surface, but below... I don't think I need to say anything, you have already felt it myself."

Solgwilen didn't say a word, pulled out his legs and jumped out of the hole, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It is said that on that day, the residents of Portlandburg heard a terrifying and shrill roar in the forest to the west. It is strange that since that day, they often picked up powerful corpses of monsters in the dangerous forest to the west, but the magic core did not come out. The terrifying wound on the corpse seemed to indicate that there were even more terrifying monsters in the forest, so the castle people who were already full of awe of the forest to the west did not dare to step into the forest casually.

Ge Zheng hugged his stomach and laughed. Behind him, the wolf crow learned another knowledge: metabolism.

The small gourd cave above was very clean, without the excrement of the dark rock demon, but the large gourd cave below was covered with thick excrement. Ge Zheng originally wanted to explore the big gourd cave, but when he thought of the encounter with Solgevellen just now, he gave up this idea. It seemed that he needed to hire someone to clean it up.

He was about to leave, but a strange thought emerged in his mind. He flew slowly, without thinking it was dirty. He approached the excrement and looked carefully. Then he pulled out a short knife from his waist, picked up a piece of dry and hard excrement and looked at it, and a smile floated across his eyebrows.

The Wolf Crow has learned another knowledge: excrement can also be observed close.

Ge Zheng found a cloth bag from the storage space, filled some dry and hard excrement, and then waved his hand to the wolf crow: "Go back."

When he returned to his residence, Ge Zheng immediately ordered the captain of the guard: "Follow me to go back to Akhama City." The captain of the guard naturally obeyed the order and immediately transferred a hundred guards to escort the city lord, and rushed back to Akhama City overnight.

Although it is only a level 4 city, there are institutions like the Adventurers Union and the Alchemist Association in the city, but the scale is much smaller than that of high-end cities.

The next morning, the Alchemist Association had just started working and received a man with a long hood. The man carried a black cloth bag and placed it on the table: "Look at it, how much do you have to pay for this material?"

He didn't ask "how much can it be sold", but asked "how much do you want to pay", obviously because he knew the value of the things in the bag.

There are only three people in the branch of the Alchemist Association here, one apprentice, who is responsible for opening and closing the door every day, serving tea and water to serve guests; an accountant, who is responsible for daily income and expenditure records; and there is also a real alchemist, but the level is only eighth.
