Chapter 473 Space Calls Me To Mining?
After returning to the capital, Lu Chen did not go to the palace to report back, and no one came to summon him.
He was too lazy to see King Kushra at this time, and King Kushra probably didn't want to see him either.
In the past two days, he has received the prairie supplies brought by the explorers sent by Fox, and urged Little Fairy and the others to start researching.
Research is not something that can be done in a day or two. Grandma Xiaoxian said that she must first find out the characteristics of the plants on this continent, and extract and analyze them.
Now they don't have the special products of the Aisher Great Forest, so they can only start to study the reasons for the strong adaptability of the unyielding grass and the secret of the rapid growth of the day flower.
As for the supplies in the Great Forest of Aisher, Lu Chen has already connected the line.
There is an elf princess wife, and it is still very easy to handle.
Although Erika herself can't come out for the time being, she can... issue missions to explorers.
The Great Aisher Forest is said to be closed, but the enchantment is not absolute, and explorers have already found a way to the outside world.
And explorers always dare to do anything in order to complete the task and earn points for profit.
So Erika asked those explorers to help her deliver things. In addition to the common vegetation and specialties in the Aisher Great Forest, some more precious things that grew in the forbidden area were also "stolen" by Erika.
It is said that the first batch of explorers are already on their way, not only bringing a lot of materials for research, but also bringing several buckets of water of life to Lu Chen.
He peeked at the explorer's chat on the world's public screen, and saw that someone mentioned this quest, saying that the elf princess had finally started releasing the "big quest".
Compared to bringing delicious and fun food to Erika Yi, smuggling is obviously not a big task...
Moreover, the difficulty of this task is not low, and it is also risky. If you are caught by the guards of the elves when you go out secretly, you will be imprisoned in light cases or executed in severe cases.
But the explorers still enjoy it, after all, they are just giving away things, and their methods are all kinds of strange, smuggling is better than the mission that must fight.
The research on new seeds is on the right track, and Lu Chen misses Eriyi more and more, but if he goes to the Aisher Forest now, it will only lead to war, and he has not grown up enough to feel that he can flatten the Aishir Forest Degree.
Judging from the strength of the orc king Byron, the legendary elf queen is definitely a scumbag.
And he is not very good at facing the bombing of magic, and there are many restrictive skills in magic, so it would be embarrassing to capsize in the gutter.
Besides, Eriyi also said that the elf queen actually treated her well. Lu Chen also felt from the background of the world view that the elves hide a shocking secret, and the attitude of the guardian dragon Iger before his death is also intriguing.
He wasn't going to act rashly until things were cleared up.
It's quite strange that this kind of wife steals things from her "natal family".
In the past few days, apart from going to see the progress of Little Fairy and their research every day, and their daily training with Gu Lanting, he started to visit various forces again in the capital.
Different from last time, many people chose to meet Lu Chen this time, expressing their admiration for the result of this negotiation.
Of course, these are just talk, and these noble ministers actually don't like Lu Chen very much in their hearts, but now that the trend of the empire is like this, the common people are singing the praises of Duke Godzilla's great achievements this time.
Then if they all shut the door to Duke Godzilla, wouldn't it appear that all the high-level officials of the empire are short-tempered and incompetent, and they will also create an image of a lonely hero for Duke Godzilla.
After a long time, the people's mouths might dare to scold the king, after all, everyone can see the danger of the orcs' oppression.
If it weren't for the king's indecision, it would not have developed to such a thrilling point.
King Khusla's eyeliner was all over the capital, and he naturally watched every move of Duke Godzilla, especially after knowing that many noble ministers had received his brother, he felt even more depressed.
He understands the truth, but the sense of crisis in his heart is still getting heavier.
After all, not every minister has his people in his family. He doesn't know a lot about the conversation between Duke Godzilla and the ministers and nobles.
If we don't see each other, everything is easy to talk about, but if we talk about it, will people's hearts...will it change?
Could it be... There are already ministers who secretly fell to the elder brother's side?
The more King Khosla thought about it, the more he felt chest tightness. He felt that he could no longer let Duke Godzilla stay in the capital. He had to pay the other party out, and let him come back after the turmoil in the negotiations passed and the subjects of the empire calmed down.
It's definitely not good to put people like elder brother in the place. The Great Wall is a lesson from the past. Maybe in the last few months, the place will change hands.
After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the supervision of mining that Princess Ruth said was really good, at least he ran out of the human country, but he would be gossiped.
Such as "The Duke of the Empire just made meritorious service, but his younger brother sent him to the center of power and went to the mountains to work as a supervisor."
No matter how displeased he was with the Duke of Godzilla, but the other party was also a member of the Howard family, the top aristocrat, sending him to mine, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Howard family?
Finally, he summoned the prime minister, and under the guidance of the prime minister, he suddenly became enlightened.
It's because he didn't find the right idea. He can get his brother to the Warcraft Mountains and let the other party protect the empire's mineral collection team.
Just need to put it another way.
What is the purpose of the empire to collect minerals?
It's for making weapons.
How to build weapons?
In addition to the manufacture of the Imperial Military Workshop, the equipment on the Imperial Elite Legion is actually made by the Dwarves.
Every year, the human race mines minerals in the Warcraft Mountains and hands them over to the dwarf race. After the dwarf race builds them, they return the equipment to the Keya Empire.
Of course, the dwarves don't work for free, they charge half of the minerals as construction costs.
Every month, the dwarves will send special envoys to the Warcraft Mountains to hand over minerals. The human race is used to it, but in fact they can make a fuss about this matter.
For example, for the dignity of the empire and the long-term friendship with friendly neighbors, the Duke of Godzilla was sent to be responsible for the monthly handover.
In fact, the Duke of Godzilla was there to be the bodyguard and oversee the mining, but to put it another way, it is much more high-end and atmospheric.
It's honorable diplomatic work, and it's respectable.
Although it turned out that this position was never needed at all... because the dwarves have always been honest and never cheated on transactions, and they have no interest in dealing too much with the human race.
…………
"Let me go digging?"
Lu Chen looked at the old eunuch Wallis indifferently.
"No, no, the duke misunderstood. The main reason is to ask you to contact the dwarves to express your sincerity for years of cooperation."
Wallis was sweating profusely. He didn't expect that the other party would pierce King Khusra's mind as soon as he came up, and directly tore his face.
Letting a former God of War on the Great Wall, the Duke of the Empire who has just made great achievements in negotiations, go to mine in the southern mountains, no matter how you look at it, it is an infuriating thing.
"I see."
Lu Chen had no expression on his face, showing no emotion, "Gu Lanting, see off the guests."
Wallis didn't dare to say much, and left the duke's mansion in despair.
But Lu Chen was not at peace at this time, he received a new side mission.
[Sub-quest: Guardian Collection]
Task content: Within one month, the pioneers need to protect the supporters who collect special ore veins until the Milan star gold storage reaches 1000 kg.
Task Difficulty: Normal ~ Nightmare
Current progress: 330.21/1000
Task reward: After returning to space, get Milan Star Gold with a mass of 7 kg.
Failure penalty: obliteration
[Remarks: Milan Star Gold is a very special resource that can be used for many purposes, including but not limited to the function of creating sacred equipment. 】
[Remarks: The quality standard is the common standard of origin (Blue Star), not the quality standard of Aika Continent. 】
Lu Chen pondered for a while. Side missions are different from hidden missions. Once received, they cannot be rejected, even if they are triggered passively.
This task is very delicate in all aspects. For example, the difficulty of the task is average at the lowest level, but it is a nightmare at the highest level.
Isn't it just digging a mine?Is it that scary?
And the failure penalty column made him even more strange.
He heard that the origin space is relatively gentle to explorers. Generally speaking, punishments such as obliteration are rarely used. Either it is an ultra-simple task, and obliteration is just a simple deterrent, or it is a very important task that forces you to do it.
Like this side mission, the difficulty itself is very high. Explorers may think not to do it when they see it, but the mission has a time limit, and it is considered a failure if it exceeds the time limit. Failure is obliteration, so you have to take risks.
When this happens, it can only be said that the so-called "Milan Star Gold" is indeed a very precious resource, and even the space will be valued.
What Lu Chen wants to complain about is that if I help you dig a thousand kilograms, you will give me... 7 kilograms! ?
What can 7 kg do?Although it was remarked to me that it can create sacred equipment, but seven kilograms, what can it really be useful for?
He saw the appearance and characteristics of Milan Xingjin in the reference picture given by the mission. This thing is very dense, seven kilograms, not as big as his little thumbnail...
I'm afraid I can only hit a pendant, right?
He has doubts in his heart, but he can only hope that the space is not squeezing labor for no reason, 7 kg is really useful...
"My lord duke, this is simply too deceitful, why don't we go back to the northern border and pull the people to rebel!?"
Gree was a little angry at the side. This is a naked humiliation. Isn't the duke of a country going to work as a bodyguard supervisor, in fact, to mine?
"Don't be impatient."
Lu Chen raised his hand, glanced at Gree, and thought what you said is simple, what fighting power do civilians have?
"My lord, are you really going?"
Lei Ze also came over. Originally, this time the Lord Duke quelled the chaos in the western region. Recently, there has also been improvement in the capital. He also feels that life is getting more and more hopeful.
But if you go to the south, this is a distribution in disguise. Don't even think about coming back after passing. Even if you come back, the prestige brought by this negotiation will be too early.
"Go, how can we break the situation if we don't go?"
Lu Chen said, since he received the side mission, he had no choice but to go.
He likes difficult tasks very much, and they are challenging.
And he is also very curious about the dwarves in this world. He heard that all of them are master blacksmiths, and there may be some treasures hidden in the clan.
One day later, before departure, the magic crystal in Lu Chen's hand received a communication.
He went to a place where there was no one to connect, "What are you looking for me for?"
"You're going to the Warcraft Mountains? Don't you want to challenge that trial?"
Fox's voice came.
"Do you think I look like a fool?"
Lu Chen thought that the other party had some good news about the orcs, but who knew he was only here to ask about it.
"...that trial is deceiving, it has nothing to do with your strength, don't try it, my side is already making arrangements, and I'm still waiting for you to quickly regain the military power and make a big fortune."
Fox was silent for a while before replying.
"It will take time and opportunity, but not for long."
Lu Chen was referring to the matter of regaining military power. He was already preparing to use seeds to start from the northern border.
As for the trial that the other party mentioned, of course he also knows that recently, people often use it on the world's public screens.
It is said that it is a special trial, the stronger you are, the more difficult the trial is, theoretically speaking, it is impossible to pass.
Several explorers tried it, including fourth-order explorers, but they all proved that the trial was unreasonable.
Although Lu Chen loves challenges, he still doesn't want to do such high-risk things... The main reason is that Eliyi told him yesterday not to go to the trial when his head was hot.
Now he just wants to complete this branch line honestly, and when the new seed is developed, he will go back to the northern border instead of King Kushra, pull his team back, and wait for the opportunity.
Although a little slow, but the victory is safe.
"You are very passive now, do you want me to help? It is still the previous condition."
Lu Chen hung up the phone directly.
Let's talk about the cooperation later, even if they cooperate, he still has to pick things first.
…………
The king's capital is much closer to the Warcraft Mountains in the south than to the west. Three days later, Lu Chen rushed to the destination quickly.
Gu Lanting and Gree were still accompanying them, and Lei Ze was responsible for coordinating in the capital, reporting various news in real time, and also protecting Xiao Xiannai and the others.
Looking at the endless mountains in front of him, the vast and ancient atmosphere rushed to his face.
The Warcraft Mountains also look a bit barren in today's era, with sparse trees, and there are basically no Warcraft in the periphery.
The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is.
In the deepest central area, it is said that there are monsters that are comparable to the ninth-level fighting spirit of human beings. Those who pass through this mountain range, whether they are humans or dwarves, will not approach there.
The largest mining farm in the Warcraft Mountains is located on the east side of the interior.
Because of years of mining by human beings and the massacre of nearby monsters, generally speaking, there are very few monsters approaching this area.
Lu Chen and the others went deep, slaughtered a devil bear for lunch on the way, and arrived at the mining site.
All kinds of magical equipment stand in the mining field, human soldiers stand vigilantly around the mining field, and the slaves and miners in the mine are mining in full swing.
Looking at the stern expressions of those human soldiers, they knew that they had been attacked a lot in recent days, and they should be monsters of the Moon Wolf Clan.
Seeing Lu Chen coming, the soldiers who recognized him saluted respectfully, "My lord, please inspect the mining site."
Lu Chen walked through the dilapidated wall and inspected the largest mining field in the Aika Continent from a high place. It is roughly estimated that the area is more than [-] square kilometers. of mineral deposits.
