Chapter 287 Entrustment
"All of you are old friends, so I'm not polite. Come in quickly, there's danger outside." said the old town mayor.
The team entered the town and everything was settled. The caravan entered the town's citizen hall, a large wooden house that could accommodate hundreds of people.
As everyone continued to enter, the oil lamps in the hall flickered, and several lamps near the door were blown out.
Su Ye and several other mages displayed a floating brilliance, making the Citizen Hall bright.
Hulu sat helplessly outside the door.
I really can't get in.
The old mayor has a gray beard and a slightly hunched back, but it is very tall. On the warrior badge on his left chest is a silver-white giant bear.
"It turned out to be a silver warrior." Su Ye thought to himself as he stared at the badge.
"Our Hongshan Town and Agala Trading Company are old friends, and I also like Haennas very much, although he always looks at the girls in our town." The old mayor smiled slightly.
The business and the town followed suit and started to cheer.
Haennas nodded slightly politely and accepted the old mayor's praise calmly.
"I have selfishness and kindness. My kindness tells me that after we complete the transaction, we should ask you to leave immediately. But my selfishness tells me that our Hongshan Town is willing to pay high ore and asks you to investigate what happened underground in Hongshan. If there is really danger, we either report to the city-state, hire people to solve the problem, or escape from the whole town." The old mayor glanced at everyone present helplessly, and finally stared at Haennas.
Haennas smacked his lips and said, "Old Mayor, if this was the territory of the Agala family, I would definitely send people directly, but you know that I do not want the caravan to take risks. Of course, if most of the caravans agree, I will follow their wishes."
The old mayor smiled and said, "If you are willing to participate, all the gains in this process will belong to you. You should know that this devil mountain range is a treasure land, and many precious objects have appeared, including the source of magic. In addition, we are willing to give this mine king as a reward."
The old mayor said, lifting up the large ore covered by rags, which was more than half a person tall. The main part was light red stones. Among the light red stones, red gems can be seen faintly, the size of pigeon eggs, and there are more than 30. I don’t know how many there are in the depths.
Many people present showed curious expressions, especially mages and those who knew ore.
Su Ye knew this red magic gem, called "Red Flame Stone", which is a necessary material for many fire magic weapons. For this kind of town or small noble, it is a big treasure, but in the eyes of the mage, it is just a relatively basic magic material.
The reason why I am not interested is that the mining of this kind of red flame stone is too difficult. They are hidden deep in red stones and are extremely hard. Even the magic of fossils becoming mud does not work. It requires another red stone to be constantly tapped to slowly before mining.
If you hit with huge force, the red flame stone will break and its value will be greatly reduced.
If the Red Flame Mine is too barren, the lord will give up mining or sell it at a low price.
"There was someone who once paid 10,000 gold eagles for this Red Flame Stone Mine King, but we didn't agree. Because our estimate was around 20,000 gold eagles. We are now paying this Red Flame Stone Mine King to hire you to find out the problems underground in Hongshan. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"
Haennas looked at the rest of the silver and bronze warriors, each with brighter eyes than usual.
The caravan ran back and forth between Effith and Miley, with a net income of less than 10,000 gold Eagle, but this is already a profitable caravan, and the business bank accounts for the majority, so not many people are assigned to everyone.
If you accept such additional commissions, as usual, the business bank will only symbolically draw 10% of the commission.
Su Ye didn't care about the money, but wanted to meet the devil.
Wang Dahui's master and servant voice sounded in Su Ye's ears.
"Your Majesty, there is a gem in this ore, which is quite precious. You know, in our era, we did not name magic gems separately. I only know that it was a fire-type magic gem." Wang Dahui said.
Su Ye also used the master and servant to send a message to ask: "Do you describe the gem, the more detailed the better."
"The shape is irregular. If the ordinary red flame stone looks like a small flame, the magic gem is like a lake of flames, and it is full of violent aura, like life. Well... I remembered that this magic gem should be integrated into the blood or remains of the powerful fire-type monster."
Su Ye suddenly understood and secretly said to Wang Dahui: "It seems that I will let you learn modern mineral knowledge in the future. This is a very famous 'Fire Dragon Gem', which generally refers to the gem condensed by the blood or remains of all high-quality fire monsters. How big is this gem?"
"My half of my thumb is as big as a thumb." Wang Dahui said in secret, raising his fist.
Such a large fire dragon gem, even if its quality is ordinary, is around 10,000 gold eagles. If the quality is slightly better, it may exceed 20,000 gold eagles, which is enough to become the main material of the magic weapon in the Holy Land.
"I can take it out in secret." Wang Dachui said in secret.
Su Ye said calmly: "No need."
Wang Dachui nodded.
Haennas looked at Suye.
Su Ye said: "I can go with you, you know, I really want to meet the devil."
Haennas looked at the caravan members and said, "I will not force everyone to order, so everything is determined by the rules of the silver and bronze stairs. Those who go will raise their hands. If the majority of them go, then we will accept this commission. Of course, those who don't want to go can stay here to guard, but there is not much benefit. Okay, now raise your hands to vote. I agree to go."
Haennas raised his right hand.
The people in the silver and black iron stairs looked at each other, and most of them raised their right hands.
"Very good, now the team decided to go. However, the final preparations need to be made. Old mayor, do you have any requirements?" Haennas asked.
"At least the bronze stairs are needed, because the two black irons in our town will never return. We were originally going to find people in the city, but when we thought you were coming, we were waiting for you. If you disagree, we would go to the city to ask for help."
"No wonder." Haennas whispered.
The people in the caravan's silver and bronze ranks began to discuss.
"Suya, are you sure to go?" Haennas asked.
"I'll go." Su Yedao.
"You... think about it again." Tebessa frowned slightly.
"Aunt Tebesha, I'm honing myself, let alone with you, what am I afraid of?" Su Ye said with a smile.
"I don't want you to go, but if you have to go, I will protect you." Aunt Tebessa said helplessly.
After discussing for a while, everyone quickly decided to dispatch all four silvers, and the caravan also produced a bronze magician and four bronze warriors, while Su Ye's people followed.
The team quickly prepared and, led by a black iron town, climbed over a hill more than 100 meters high and stood on the top of the mountain.
"Look, it's there." The townsmen pointed to the big black hole under the hillside on the other side.
Su Ye looked over and his heart hopped heavily.
Surrounded by the light red peaks, an irregular black pit with a diameter of about three or four hundred meters was suddenly seen, like a passage to hell, bottomless, as if there was a terrifying monster hidden.
A faint smoke floated over the deep pit, and even if it was far away, you could smell the pungent smell of sulfur.
The silver mage sniffed gently, with a serious expression and said, "This is indeed the breath of hell, I have smelled it."
Su Ye looked at Wang Dachui, Wang Dachui shook his head, and then looked at Di Aotian.
Di Aotian nodded indifferently.
Finally, Su Ye looked at Akdes.
Akdes nodded.
"It seems that a plane crack has appeared, Akdes, what do you think?" Su Ye asked.
Everyone looked at the strong man whose face was covered by his hair and beard.
"The breath of hell is very light, which means that the cracks on the plane are not big, and there will be no devils who exceed the golden rank."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Even without Akdes, with the strength of this team, it is enough to defeat a single golden-level devil.
Silver mage Cecil glanced at Hulu and said to Su Ye: "Your giant entourage may not be suitable for this kind of place."
"My bronze-level shrinking technique can make him smaller, and your silver-level shrinking technique is better. If the channel is always small, I can let him wait outside." Su Ye said.
"This is best." Cecil nodded.
Everyone stood on the mountain, after a brief discussion, bid farewell to the townspeople who led the way and walked towards the cave.
When they got closer, everyone asked Hulu to stop.
The remaining people slowly came to the edge of the pit and looked inside.
The wall of the pit is straight up and down, and the slope does not slow down until it reaches thirty or forty meters deep. Most of the places below are pitch black, and some places are shining with a dark red luster, and a deeper hole can be vaguely seen.
Cecil said: "I use gliding on you one by one, and you can fall like feathers. But... I can't go down. At least I need the Golden Mage's gliding technique to hold it. If he uses my gliding technique, it's no different from jumping directly."
Su Ye nodded and looked at Hulu.
Hulu carried the totem pole, and was far away from the big pit and dared not go over it, for fear of collapse, and now he felt even more aggrieved.
"The question is, how do we get up?" Haennas asked the key question.
Cecil said: "Simple, I will use gliding, wind and climbing techniques for everyone at that time, so I can easily climb up. Look at the texture of this mountain wall, it is very hard and there will be no problem. If the texture is soft, I can use fossils to make a staircase for mud and sils to make a stone."
"That's good, but it's a pity for Guru. Even if he can go down, the climbing technique can't bear the weight of his size."
"I can take him down," Akdes said.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Akdes in surprise.
"Don't you think about it anymore? The totem pole can be brought with me with my big space ring, but his people..." Su Ye said.
"I'll go down with him first."
In everyone's dull eyes, Akdes grabbed the totem pole with his right hand and Huru with his left hand, and jumped directly into the dark pit. Then the two of them ran along the slope and rushed into the deeper pit.
Chapter completed!
