The Arachi Heights is a land surrounded by mountains.

In addition to the south of the Rapids City under construction, there is a coastline suitable for building a port, other places are basically either mountains that stretch thousands of miles or steep rock walls that are almost vertically downward.

Since the dwarves have not yet begun to build the Sador Bridge and the boulder dam, humans have very weak connections with the southern continent. They only vaguely know that there is a large land of swamps, mud monsters, crocodiles, fishmen and zombies on the other side of the strait.

Such land is neither suitable for cultivation nor grazing, and has basically no value for occupied and development.

In contrast, the northern territory is richer.

This is also the root of the irreconcilable contradiction between humans and trolls.

Looking at the steep rock walls around and the mine cave dug out in front of the mountain leading to the inside of the mountain, Allen asked without looking back: "It's this?"

Lyle nodded quickly: "Well! That's right! This is the mine we have mined with the richest reserves and the highest ore quality. Before forcing the blockade to close, it can provide almost 70% of the iron and steel ingots in the entire territory, and can also forge additional weapons, armor, farm tools and arrows to other lords or merchants. In addition, our absenteeism has also mined some bright red ore here. It is said that the energy fostered inside can occasionally give the weapon the effect of luminous and heated during attack during the stage construction process, which is particularly effective against the powerful regeneration ability of the trolls."

"Bright red ore? Bloodstone ore?"

The name of this ore instantly appeared in Allen's mind.

In other words, it should be called secondary bloodstone mine.

It is an elemental ore that is relatively easy to produce in the mountains of the northeastern Arachi Highlands, and it stores a considerable degree of earth and flame power.

If you mix in a certain proportion of weapons when creating them in sections and forge some special runes, the weapon can release hot flames and magma when it hits the target.

Of course, all of this is attributed to the princess of the earth who was sealed deep underground.

It is her power that causes the mineral veins in the surrounding mountains to be particularly rich, and it is accompanied by bloodstone ores and other gold and silver gemstones.

"Yes! The color of those ores is indeed as red as blood." Lyle immediately gave a positive reply.

To be honest, after seeing the weapons that successfully used bloodstone mines to bless the extra attributes, he almost jumped up happily.

The reason is very simple!

If such enchanting weapons can be continuously produced in this territory, it will become extremely rich in no time.

Because no noble would be unwilling to equip himself and his knights with such weapons that can destroy the powerful regeneration ability of the troll.

What's more, from the entire empire, from the Soladin himself to the common people, there is no one who doesn't know that the biggest threat to all human beings is the troll empire Amani in the north.

Unfortunately, now Lyle can only sigh at the empty mine cave.

Those damn kobolds broke all his dreams and plans directly.

Seeing this young man who has been studying and exercising since childhood, Allen couldn't help but smile and comforted: "Don't worry, I promise that this mine will resume production soon. But before that, I need to talk to those kobolds alone."

"You mean...negotiation? With those kobolds!"

Lyle opened his mouth wide in shock, and even thought that there was hearing hallucination in his ears.

"Why not? First, we need to figure out why the kobolds attacked absenteeism. Was we accidentally invaded their territory or something else."

After saying this, Allen lit a torch and was the first to walk into the mine where the black hole was.

When the knights and soldiers around him saw this scene, they immediately followed with their shields.

As the lord's private army, their most basic responsibility is to ensure the safety of their lord's lives and their families.

If Alan had any accident or was killed, everyone present would be severely punished by the imperial emperor, and the least sentenced to exile.

If it is more serious, it may be executed.

In this way, with twenty fully armed soldiers, Allen began to move slowly along the low, narrow passage to the depths.

Some of these places can even be passed by one person on his side.

At this moment, he realized why absenteeism was already known as one of the most dangerous and hardest professions.

Let go of heavy physical exhaustion and dangerous collapse accidents. Just the psychological pressure caused by being in this dark and confined space for a long time is enough to make a person mentally collapse.

Similarly, Allen also praised his plan to replace humans with trolls and fishman slaves to work under the mine.

Because at this stage, the most important thing for the Araso Empire is to quickly reproduce the population to ensure that at least 150,000 full-time professional troops can be recruited in more than 20 years.

Only by reaching this scale can we ensure that the forest trolls were defeated in the final battle and the name Amani was completely swept into the garbage dump of history.

Therefore, a profession like mining with extremely high mortality rates is most suitable to capture alien slaves.

Just as Allen was walking through the darkness while thinking about what policies to introduce to cooperate, a strange light suddenly lit up in the distance, and there was a low and awkward spell sound.

The next second...

The ice that exuded a biting chill flew out from the pit that was only half a person high on the side and smashed straight into his face.

There is no doubt that this is an ice arrow created out of thin air due to arcane energy.

The soldier holding a shield on the side didn't even say a word of nonsense and immediately stood in front of his Duke, trying to use his shield to resist the possible damage caused by the Ice Arrow.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the magic ice arrow did not rely on sharp edges to kill enemies.

Instead, it relies on the biting cold that breaks out in the moment of contact with the target to freeze the skin, muscles and blood vessels to achieve the purpose of causing serious frostbite.

No surprises!

The moment the ice arrow collided with the shield, the ice arrow flashing with blue light exploded instantly, wrapping the soldier from head to toe.

His face, beard, hair, armor, and large pieces of naked skin instantly formed into large white frost. His whole body was like an ice sculpture, standing in place for a long time and unable to move.

Fortunately, he was not dead, but the biting chill freezes him alive.

Just as the sneak attacker started singing spells again to prepare for the same trick to re-use, Allen suddenly raised his hand and shot out a life energy line that could not be observed by the naked eye. He strangled the little monster's neck and pulled it out of the low pit that was more than half a person high.

Through the dim fire, you can vaguely see that this is a creature with a rat tail, huge jaw, and short and powerful limbs. It is about half the height of an adult human male. It stares at something like a candle on its head, and there is a slightly rough iron pick hanging around its waist.

Needless to ask, this is one of the most widely surviving creatures and most adaptable creatures in the world of Azeroth - the korn.

However, unlike those ordinary kobolds, this one obviously exudes traces of magical energy, and is a typical kobold mage.

However, unlike the mages born by high elves systematically research and learning, most mages of the dog-kows rely on natural awakening, and usually only have one or two relatively single magics.

But no matter what, being able to become a spellcaster will definitely not have a low status in the Kobster tribe.

"Quick! Bundle it up! Gagging your mouth!"

Lyle immediately shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

The young man was filled with awe in his heart about magic.

Because he had the honor of witnessing a horror scene caused by Allen's attempt to cast magic, he has since had a strong psychological shadow on the energy of magic.

In Lyle's eyes, magic is almost equivalent to natural disasters, and it is a force that mortals absolutely cannot resist.

But what he didn't know was that even the great mages of high elves could not achieve a large-scale battle-level destruction spell like Allen, like he did.

You should know that in the past twenty years, Alan has not been living a casual life, but has trained his body and magical power to the limit that this body can withstand.

If you want to go further, you must change your race, or find some "evolution" methods from other higher lives.

After all, he knew better than anyone else how dangerous this seemingly peaceful planet is.

If you don’t want this "game character" that has been cultivated to die one day without understanding, you must be prepared to deal with all kinds of powerful enemies.

With Lyle's order, the guards, who were like wolves and tigers, immediately tied up the dog-killing mage tightly.

The force is so strong that it even causes some joints to make chilling fractures.

Obviously, these soldiers are taking the opportunity to retaliate.

Revenge on the losses caused by the continuous attacks of these damn little monsters when they were clearing out the knotty men in the cave.

The lord mage was obviously very scared and kept struggling desperately, trying to make a sound.

But in the end, because his mouth was blocked, he could only barely make a whimpering sound.

"Dude, why don't we just cut this guy directly, keeping it will be a waste of food anyway." The Knight in charge of the team asked with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

As he was talking, he did not forget to raise his sword and kept gestured around the neck of the dog-headed man.

Even the fool knew what he wanted to do.

But Allen waved his hand gently to stop him and said, "Okay, stop scaring it anymore. I think as a mage who is enough to understand the mystery of magic, he should now be very clear about his situation."

“Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo…”

The dog-headed man who was pressed to the ground quickly nodded desperately, his little eyes filled with fear of death.

There is no doubt that this guy can understand human language, at least the energy is connected to the meaning or emotions expressed in human language.

After realizing this, Allen immediately bent down and removed the rag from its mouth, and asked with interest: "Can you understand what I said?"

"Woof! Can...can!"

The kobold made a canine-like croaker first, and then responded in an extremely awkward lingo.

The previous woofering sounds were the origin of their race names.

"interesting!"

When he found that the other party could really speak the human language, Alan's face showed a satisfied smile and continued to ask himself: "Tell me your name and the human language I learned from where I can. Remember, don't try to lie in front of me, otherwise I promise you will die a hundred times more miserable than any other person."

"Cao!Cao is my name! I... my common language is learned from people who eavesdrop on the words of those who worked in the mine before."

The kobold man who claims to be Kao gave the answer at a very fast speed, as if he was afraid that he would be killed if he answered too late.
To be continued...
