Chapter 233: Sapphire, Mithril Flower

Buildings will decay, and forests have longevity, but rare metals such as fine gold and mithril are hard to decay. It would be better if you could find any ancient magical artifacts.
The excavation of the ruins is not an easy task. Fortunately, this is not on the earth. There are so many things to pay attention to. What Xia Duo wants is to find something valuable. As for the protection of the ruins, he doesn't care about that much.
As usual, magic alarms were arranged around the camp, and everyone's work arrangements were explained. Xia Duo was relieved to go to archaeology.
When he came near Misuo, Xia Duo checked the surroundings first.
He didn't set up magic alarms here, but placed some thin branches and fallen leaves pressed by stones in places where the terrain was relatively flat and convenient for people or animals to pass.
If someone or an animal passes by, it can be found in time, and if a magic alarm is set, it may be more obvious to the caster.
No abnormalities were found after inspection, and there were no traces of animals.
Through that big tree that was chopped down, he entered into the mysterious locks. Although he has not known how many times he has passed through these days, he must sigh every time he passes by—
More magical than the portal of the Tower of Time!
The portal of the Tower of Time, or the teleportation of the teacher, these will have some movement: the effect of the magic net, and the reaction of the magic net.
Although Chateau didn't understand yet, at least he could see some appearances.
Here, there is almost no sense of entering and exiting, as if there is no change in the space and a very smooth transition.
Xia Duo is very clear about the principle of Misuo, it is nothing more than the control of the magic net, but when it comes to how to control and why it is controlled, he is completely blinded.
This thing is not something he wants to study yet.
Entering from the root of the tree, the location of the ruins is the same every time, they are at the same place by the collapsed and decayed stone wall.
Xia Duo speculated that this place might be similar to a transfer room or an elevator exit. Of course, it might just be because of a loophole in the lock, which is very common here.
But anyway, he has decided to place the first search target in the ruins of the building here.
...
Without magic, or even with handy tools, it can be extremely troublesome to discover the ruins!
Fortunately, at a glance, most of the ruins here are on the surface. Otherwise, it would be really difficult.
I don't know how many years this ruin has existed. The stone walls are already sparse. Xia Duo used a shield as a shovel to shovel out the overburden and humus, and then used a sword as a metal detector, cutting across it with one sword.
If you encounter a hard object, just pick it out. If you don't have it, just pass it. You should plan the grids first, and then search them one by one.
After a whole day, he also searched an area less than 40 square meters. Looking at the football field-sized ruins, Xia Duo was a little numb.
It won’t take many months to search them all!
But looking at the harvest of the whole day, Xia Duo is full of energy again, isn't it just a matter of months! That's it!
There are more than ten gems in the harvest today. Almost any gem in the magical world is a collection of elements, full of energy.
For example, ruby ​​is a collection of fire elements. The caster can channel the energy in it, whether it is used to cast spells or to link magic nets, it has a wide range of applications.
The former can be made into magic wands and other magic-casting tools, while the latter is more common in magic circles and scrolls.
The ink needed to make high-level magic scrolls almost always contains delicate gemstone powder that still maintains the form of the collection of elements.
In addition, many gems, even if they are not processed, have a very special effect. Xia Duo doesn't know much about this, and the only thing he knows is white crystal.
Just holding it in the hand can provide the caster with concentration blessing.
Of course, such a good thing is naturally valuable. The value of any gemstone is more than an equal volume of gold, and the most expensive one can even exceed an equal volume of Mithril dozens of times.
The dozen or so gems that Xia Duo searched out from the ruins were all sapphires, the larger ones were bigger than the eyes, and the smaller ones were only as small as fingertips.
A rough estimate can also be worth several thousand gold coins. Of course, selling directly is the next best thing. The best way is to make magic items and sell them. Then the price is not calculated in thousands.
At least they are all "ten thousand".
For this batch of Xia Duo's gems, there is another way, that is, to make jewelry. These gems are originally components of the same jewelry, but their fixed parts cannot withstand the ravages of time and have long decayed.
If it can be repaired, it might be more valuable than selling magic items.
However, these things are not visible for the time being, so they can only entertain themselves.
In addition to these gems, Xia Duo also found a mithril trinket that looked like a flower. It was not a magic item, but an ordinary item made of mithril.
This thing passed the passage of time, and when it was discovered by Xia Duo, it still maintained its silver-white luster. Judging by the value of Mithril alone, this little thing is not worth much.
But it can't stand after being processed by the elves, and it has become a work of art, and it is timeless and very valuable for collection. People who like it may like it very much. For Xia Duo, that's it.
Of course, it is still the same, this thing is temporarily out of sight.
"Ugh--"
Xia Duo let out a long sigh, but then couldn't help but laugh out loud. He just got cheap and sold well, but after another thought, the value of this ruin was so great, he felt that these treasures were a little hot.
"You must think of a safe way!"
...
Back to the camp~EbookFREE.me~ Xia Duo directly threw more than ten sapphires and the mithril flower into the Wolfsburg River. Compared to the camp or other places, the water is his home field. .
You don't have to worry about being damaged by the blister anyway, it is safer to throw it in the river, and you can use it whenever you need it.
The next day, Xia Duo calculated the time and didn't go to Misuo's archaeology anymore, because the "Owen" was almost coming.
If there is no accident, there should be a lot of people on this trip. If he is not there, the handover will be very troublesome.
Just after noon, Qiao Qi yelled and ran over, "The ship is coming, Lord Lord, the'Lucky Owen' is coming!"
"So early!" Xia Duo opened the curtain and walked out of the small camp. It stands to reason that starting from Savile in the early morning, it should have been in the afternoon. Now that the boat arrived early, he couldn't help but ask again:
"George, do you see clearly?"
"It's true! I saw them Zhang Fan, there is an adult's emblem on it!" Qiao Qi said affirmatively.
Xia Duo's emblem is an earth word "Xia" plus a circle on the periphery. This is also the emblem of the Daxia collar. The first thing that Qiao Qi and others receive training in the port warehouse is to remember to find an emblem.
Chateau didn't suspect that Qiao Qi was lying, but now that he saw the emblem, it must be the "Lucky Owen", and it was also Zhang Fan!
Zhang Fan? Xia Duo understood. He walked quickly to the water's edge. Sure enough, he felt a breeze blowing from the north. He also saw the "Lucky Owen" drum sail breaking open on the water surface, and the oars on both sides of it were rowing constantly. .
In the morning, Xia Duo deliberately took a look at the direction of the wind. It was indeed the wind from the south, but now it turned to the north.
The wind and the water, coupled with the crew's efforts, is no wonder that it was several hours earlier than normal.
