Chapter 1176: Underground trust

Joan looked at Professor Moriarty in doubt, a little wondering if the tutor's last suggestion was serious, or he was joking with himself.
If it's serious...Joan couldn't help but associate.
If I had a train gun, or an airship...
Although Joan can’t actually build a train gun or even a magic airship, it doesn’t prevent him from envisioning that he will make a lot of money in the future, and he can afford to buy cannons and even airships, and use it as an enchanting embryo to create
cannons
"Golem" or "activated airship" or something, used to deal with "Ice Barrier Colossus", seems to be really feasible.
The idea of ​​flying the sky is exciting, but no one can live in imagination forever. In the end, we still have to return to real life and work hard step by step until one day in the future, turning seemingly unrealistic fantasy into reality.
Both the 9th-level spell and the cannon airship are too far away for Joan’s current level. In contrast, the two spell scrolls that Professor Moriarty gave him are more realistic.
Joan quit his tutor, went back to his apartment, and began to transcribe and study "The Destructive Technique of Constructed Body" and "The Sand of Time".
In the following days, Joan's life returned to the four-point line of "school", "laboratory", "library" and "apartment", until the morning of July 21, he consulted the literature in the library When I received a special letter, the peaceful life rippled again.
The sender is Joan’s old friend Klein Stove. The leader of the Dwarf prospecting team seemed a little anxious, and he couldn’t even ignore the polite words.
"Brother Joan, can you pull out some sky? Brother is in trouble and you have to help me."
Joan had a good impression of the dwarf brother. Three months ago, he worked with the exploration team led by Klein to explore the Qingbing veins and made a lot of money.
An old friend wrote to ask for help, but Joan didn't dare to neglect and hurried back to find out what happened.
Klein Stove's follow-up "short message technique" revealed the dilemma that made him in a dilemma.
Since the last successful discovery of the Qingbing vein and the sale of mining rights to Meadgard Mining Company, a large dividend has been earned. Klein and his dwarf prospecting team members have increased their confidence, and they will continue to work towards the north of the "Ancient Abyss" Continue to explore.
After more than three months of arduous underground operations, the Klein prospecting team moved from the "Nida Mountain" to the abyss and mud, and detected signs of magic crystal ore veins locally!
The so-called "deep abyss" is classified as the fourth area on the proven "underground world" map. The codename of this area is called "swamp area", which is bordered by the "Nida Mountains" in the sixth area. .
If the underground world is projected to the surface, then the location of the abyssal swamp coincides with the "iron forest" area of ​​the surface world, that is, the "Midgard colony" of the Ashan Empire and the "Jortonheim" belonging to the Fichen Kingdom. "The Colony".
Things have to start from two weeks ago.
At that time, the Klein prospecting team found a smooth track on the edge of the swamp, like someone using a glass plate to lay a long corridor on the ground.
With rich experience in prospecting, Klein recognized with a little observation that this was the mark left by the "flail snail" crawling.
The flail snail is a very rare magical creature in the underground world. It is as big as a house. It carries a sometimes crystal clear and sometimes colorful snail shell. The tentacles on the head are connected with hammer-like protrusions, just like flail.
This creature that is native to the plane of the earth element will always leave a glowing trace formed by the condensation of secretions. The transparent texture resembles natural crystal. It is a versatile alchemical material and is also very popular with gemstones. The welcome of the craftsmen.
The shell of flail snail is also a very precious treasure, which has the function of reflecting magic and can be used to make anti-magic shields.
In addition, flail snails have a feature that few people know is that they love to devour rare minerals, and can sense the rare veins buried deep underground in a mysterious way that is almost intuitive.
Klein knew the characteristics of the flail snail, so he promptly prevented his men from disturbing the flail snail and led his team to follow the strange beast to collect the crystal traces formed by the snail secretions along the way, while detecting whether there were mineral veins near the traces.
Compared with the flail snail's own value, Klein valued its prospecting talent more, looking forward to the flail snail can lead him to the underground veins.
The result showed that Klein got the move right!
After tracing flail snails for ten days, the dwarf prospecting team finally luckily collected specimens of magic crystal ores in the abyss and mud areas where monsters were running.
Following the guidance of flail snails, Klein and they detected a magic crystal ore vein extending from south to north in the north of the mud.
Although it is still impossible to estimate the reserves of mines, according to the previous prospecting experience, Klein foresees that he has discovered a rich and valuable mine!
However, when the dwarf prospecting team was deeply excited by this discovery, two bad news came one after another.
The first bad news came further north.
Klein learned from the mouths of the indigenous Aboriginal people near the Taikoo muddy ground that in the past two weeks, there were often underground gnomes operating in the north of the swamp, claiming to be a prospecting team employed by the colonial company of Jodenheim!
In the underground world, the relationship between gnomes and dwarves is more subtle. Both races are closely related to humans in the surface world. Generally speaking, they belong to the good camp, and they are also good at mining ore and forging iron.
In addition, the dwarves and the gnomes on the ground are relatively short, and surface humans who do not understand these two creatures often confuse them.
The gnome is optimistic and cheerful, and has no prejudice against the dwarf. The proud and stubborn dwarf is different. Since ancient times, the dwarf family has not been accustomed to the hip-hop and free-spending all day long. Such a saying: "Your kid is like a'bearded dwarf'!"
Compared with the dwarf living in the surface world, Klein is more afraid of the dwarf dwelling in the dark areas. The peers are the enemies. The dwarves are doing the same thing as his team. Prospecting in the same area, this conflict can be big. Now!
Klein’s prospecting team is from Nidaville, and is employed by a mining group affiliated to Midgard Colonial Company. Each independent discovery of a vein can earn a generous dividend.
The dwarf prospecting team mentioned by the Swamp Edge Mushrooms came from Sudori Rock City and was employed by the mining companies of the Kingdom of Feizhen in the colony of Jordenheim.
As the Meadgard colonial authorities and the Jotunheim colonial authorities belong to different suzerain states, the relationship is quite tense. The two prospecting teams are their owners. There is no possibility of cooperative prospecting. Who can win this exploration competition, Who is the "big winner", and the prospecting team that is one step behind in the competition can't even get the benefits of a copper plate.
