Twenty Sided Dice

? The speed of digging forward has basically reached the limit, and Siegel turned back and began to repair the passage. He dug out some resting areas and tried to make the road easier.

Day after day, it is difficult to estimate the time underground, and the number of days can only be calculated by the frequency of daily meals delivered by the ropeway system. For a whole week, Siegel flattened the ground of the passage, set up anti-slip bumps on the up and down slopes, and dug holes for rest at intervals according to the instructions of the dwarf. He also figured out how to reinforce the rope system, turning one rope into two to increase the speed of the cargo.

"No matter what other achievements you will achieve in the future, the title of miner lord is certain." In the rest area, the dwarf Locke said to Siegel with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with this title." Siegel used to be picky, but now he really feels that the so-called title doesn't have much impact on her. Lord of the One-Day War is also his title, but besides making him feel a little high, what role can it play? Will the elves therefore not conflict with him, or will Knox together bow their heads?

However, he still decided to change the topic, discussing the title is not very helpful to the current situation. "Locke, how long will it take for the passage to be dug through?"

"We've dug more than 270 miles now, it's almost done." The dwarf rubbed his hands, then rubbed his tight cheeks. He looked tired from the long work, but the tension spread to the dwarf after hearing what was happening on the ground. This passage is now not only built for the dwarves, but also for the inhabitants of the entire Heimland. So the dwarves pushed themselves to the limit, and even with the rune of perseverance shining and the hot mead lying around, it couldn't make him really relax. "If the map is correct. It will take about ten days to get through."

"Is that side of the Wall Mountains okay?" Siegel asked.

"Lord Siegel, it's not good or bad here." A one-eyed dwarf swallowed the mead and wiped his mouth vigorously.

"In the first thousand miles, there is not much difference between the mountains and the mountains. Humans, half-orcs, half-giants and hobgoblins are the inhabitants of this place. They are scattered in the grasslands in the form of tribes. The city wall mountains block the sea breeze from the east. Therefore, the climate in this grassland is dry and there is not much rainfall. Several rivers made of snow water flow on the grassland, and the two banks are the most fertile land and the most fiercely contested areas.”

"The next two thousand miles. It is an area of ​​ravines and hills, where the deepest part is said to lead to hell. Here lives the largest thunderbird and the longest purple worm, ruling the sky and the ground respectively. On the ground All kinds of strange beasts, predators hunting herds of cattle and sheep."

"After that, it is the giant's territory. They are integrated with the mountain, and they can't be seen at all. We have seen hill giants, stone giants, fire giants and frost giants, and Big Brother Locke has also seen cloud giants. Our talisman Master Wen's brother Kono, the one who made the meditation volume, said that he saw the Titan, with clouds and mist on his waist, the sun and moon above his head, and the electric light shining like a galaxy in his hand. We don't believe what he said, because he is so big How could others miss it? But in this area, due to the attack of giants. We lost a lot of brothers."

"After a thousand miles of the giant, you can see a swamp. It's hard to walk here, and even a feather will sink in some dangerous areas. Except for the sinister environment and the lurking Naga, shadows, and gossips Outside. The most terrifying thing here is the chaotic elemental environment. In many places, the concentration of elements will suddenly increase, and simple light will become a large fireball. In some places, it will be dead silent, the elements will not respond to calls at all, and even magic items will become waste."

"Fortunately, we have runestones, which are less affected by the environment than your mages' magic. It is conceivable that in such an environment, it would be impossible to do without the help of magic power."

"After that. Enter the dragon's territory. A barrier larger than the city wall and mountains blocked our view to the west. The dragons flying in the sky gave us no hope of continuing to the west. That's where we set foot. Returning."

Siegel listened carefully, and a question appeared in his heart. He said, "This way is dangerous, why do you have to go back?"

The dwarves looked at each other, and everyone nodded to Locke, who then said to Siegel: "We dwarves are the best miners, and there are several experienced masters in the westward team. After a while Thousands of miles of grassland, in the ravines and hilly areas, there are no less minerals than the top of Mora. The deep canyons make excavation very simple, the earth has opened its arms, and all the treasures in the chest are displayed, just Waiting for us to pick it up."

"There are also many treasures in swampy areas, especially in places with high elemental concentrations. Even an ordinary grass can contain life-saving power. This is especially true for the mountains of giant dragons. Although we do not dare to approach the territory of giant dragons, we can make Greedy, they live in peace and are content with their wealth, so there is no conflict, and you can imagine how much treasure is there."

It seems that no matter when, the dwarves' pursuit of treasures will never change. Siegel would not make a rash comment, whether the dwarves who entered the west were in pursuit of freedom or the hope of the development of the dwarves, or simply for the endless land and its mineral veins. As long as these dwarves can help them find their way and lead foreign aid to Heim.

After resting and eating, they walked side by side to the tunnel excavation. Everyone had gotten used to the rumbling sound of digging and the dust that kept flying around. Siegel put on goggles and a mask, and the dwarf covered himself with bushy eyebrows and a thick beard.

At this time, there was a shout from the front, and the tone was a little distorted because of the passage. Siegel couldn't understand it, but it was obvious that Locke understood. I saw him suddenly excitedly provoked, hugged Siegel tightly, and said loudly in his ear: "Dig it! Digged it!"

"Isn't there still ten days of construction work?" Siegel's words made the dwarf gradually calm down. "Let's go and see what we found in full!"

They came to the entrance of the tunnel with the fastest speed, and the air element stopped quietly and floated slightly in the air. It didn't use air control, but there were still hot, dry breezes blowing from the front.

Several dwarves were using pickaxes to widen the hole, and the cracked earth and rocks made a screeching sound. They were all excited now, until Locke stopped them. "What's over the hole? What's the use of expanding the hole in a hurry? Have you forgotten how Kono died?"

The dwarves looked at each other and put down the tools in their hands in shame.

On the other side of the cave was a wide tunnel, about ten paces wide, and the surrounding rock walls were shattered. It can be seen that there were originally crisscrossed stalagmites, but they were all flattened, leaving only slightly raised flat roots. Some rubble was scattered on the ground, hiding fragments of ore in it.

The dwarves were fully armed, and the vigilantes came into this tunnel. They stepped on the rubble, and the crisp sound echoed in the tunnel. "This is an abandoned mine," Locke said. "It is not known what was mined here and why it was abandoned."

Another dwarf picked up a shard of ore on the ground, wiped it with his fingers, and bit it between his teeth. "It's an emerald mine, and the quality should be pretty good."

"I remember that emeralds are often used as the core of defensive runes in dwarven runes, and have a powerful repressive effect, including against undead, right?" Siegel asked.

Locke nodded and said with appreciation, "Yes, you remember it very clearly."

"Since this is a mine, will there be an exit to the surface?" Siegel asked.

"Usually there shouldn't be. Most of the mines in the City Wall Mountains are closed to the outside world, which is also to prevent outsiders from entering the intricate mountain passages through these mines. But I think it can at least help us reduce a lot of work, at least Dig a lot less."

Several people looked forward, and the wide tunnel stretched until it was invisible to darkvision. Since this is a part of the mine, it will not attract the attention of the rune array of the city wall and mountains, so there is no need to set up new runes at intervals of a few meters.

Together, everyone covered the upper half of the hole they dug, and left four dwarves to guard it. Then Siegel and four dwarves, including Locke, set off together, trying to find the closest location of the mine to the ground. Even in the deep underground, lovers can tell direction, depth and estimate distance with their unique senses. They'll never get lost under rocky grounds, even in a purpose-built labyrinth.

It can be seen that this place should have been wider, and the meandering passageway extends all the way to the top of the cave, connecting the layers of working platforms. There are complex lifting systems, some for transporting goods and some for transporting dwarven miners to certain locations on the mountain. Judging from these leftover tools~www.novelmt.com~ the mine has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has come down for at least a hundred years. The rock walls here have been dug pits and pits, and the treasures hidden in them have long been transported away.

They found crates of discarded tools, pickaxes, pickaxes, shovels and piles of rock spikes. They have long been rusted into clumps of waste, but Locke picked them up and carefully searched for the remaining metal.

"It's a tool built by the Hardbeard clan. There are a lot of them. It's very likely that this is the mine they are responsible for." Locke picked up a few more scraps and looked at it, and then he was very sure of his guess.

"Let me recall," a bald dwarf with a red beard pinched the bridge of his nose and patted his head. "I know where this is! Modod Mine, it must be right here!"

Locke quickly took off his weapon from behind, and the burning heavy axe glowed brightly in the darkness. The other dwarves also made preparations for battle.

Siegel also drew his sword, his wand in the other hand. "Why are you so nervous all of a sudden?" He asked inexplicably, "Is there an enemy in this mine?"

"Blood spider." Locke said, "There used to be a blood spider den here." (To be continued)
