"You can tell the smell of the mines as soon as you lift your nose and smell it." Although he seemed a little embarrassed, the young officer said it with certainty.
After hearing this, Lorraine couldn't help but lift her nose and sniff hard. She just smelled a vague smell like stone dust, but she didn't notice anything too special.
In fact, if he hadn't been reminded by the young officer, Lorraine would have thought this was the smell of the air in the forest - although Lord Luo was also well-informed and knowledgeable, after all, he also came from the Great Plains of Pross.
How do you know such subtle differences in the mountains and forests?
At this time, the young officer came to the door of the mine, raised his nose and smelled it, with an intoxicated aftertaste expression on his face, and said: "Smell this smell... yes, it is a mine that has just been opened. In this mountain
Produces copper and gold ore.¨
I don’t know who discovered this place, they are really a bunch of lucky guys.”
After saying that, the officer smacked his lips in envy.
"This girl must be a thief in the family~!" Lorraine looked at the young officer's appearance and thought to himself.
Only private individuals like them can be so professional. The gang of rabbits and grandsons in the government-run mine are all his grandma's, and he has no hope at all.
Whenever I ask about the production, I know that I am crying and screaming like my dead father, complaining and complaining, looking for various reasons, such as the ore is not good, the workers are too lazy, the mining is highly dangerous, etc.
Wait, but when it comes to receiving state subsidies, I don’t show mercy at all.
As the terrifying and powerful industrial productivity of the Flying Eagle Company gradually emerged, the demand became larger and larger, resulting in a certain degree of shortage of various metal raw materials.
In order to increase the output of these raw materials, Feiying Company invested a lot of money in it, but after spending a lot of gold coins, the output did not increase much. On the contrary, the price of iron ore increased day by day.
Lord Luo felt a headache whenever he mentioned this matter.
In the past, according to Sir Alex's temper, he would have at least launched an anti-corruption crisis and dealt with a few scoundrels.
It's a pity that this is the territory of Prime Minister Russell, and Lord Lowe has been busy with the work at hand and causing hatred all over the world. It is really not suitable to have a conflict with him anymore, at least it is not suitable to have a conflict now.
Lorraine looked at the dark cave entrance and kept chewing his teeth: That lich is such a loser. He was discovered when he reached the city gate. If he sneaks into the city and kills a few more dog officials or something, Sir Luo
When I'm happy, I might give him a medal or something.
He thought for a moment, then pulled out the shotgun, and then pressed his right hand on his chest. His body flashed with light, and the light red Dragon Soul Armor slowly stretched out and covered his whole body.
He turned to Vera and said, "I'll go in and take a look. You guys wait here."
"How can that be done~!"
"impossible."
The voices of Lester and Vera rang out at the same time, and everyone, old and young, looked at Lorraine firmly to show their determination to go.
Especially Vera, her clear and bright blue eyes are full of little stars at this moment.
When she heard the word gold just now, Miss Vera's morale instantly soared to 120%.
"It's very dark in here," Lorraine said to scare Vera.
Vera glanced at the black hole and couldn't help but frown slightly: it was indeed a little too dark inside...
But then he shook his head firmly, his fair and rosy face was as fearless as that of the most heroic warrior, and he said: "Don't be afraid. I know how to illuminate."
"It's very narrow in here." Lorraine continued.
"It's okay, the narrower the better, maybe you can get the gold mine by raising your hand." Vera looked delighted and eager to try.
"Maybe there are snakes, rats, giant earthworms, and vampire bats inside." Lorraine continued to scare Vera.
Although she is a dragon, Vera is first and foremost a girl. Like all girls, she doesn't like ugly animals.
But at this time, Vera had a pretty face, holding her staff in her hand, and said: "Master, are you going in or not? If you don't, I will go in first. When the time comes to pick up the gold, you can't
Ask me for it~!"
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitate.
At this time, Lester also nodded and said impatiently: "Mother-in-law, this is not like you, Lorraine. Come on, can you get in?"
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh. In such a narrow cave, no matter how many people entered, they would not be able to expand.//It was basically a one-man-dominated terrain, and it was easy for the lich to ambush and attack.
When a spell hits you, you don't even have a place to hide, so you can only resist.
It's no problem for a tank class like me to get in. It has high physical and magic defense. But a mage like Lester will inevitably be unable to perform in it.
However, one has a stake in gold and the other has a stake in reputation, and it seems that the master and apprentice are determined not to give in.
It would take more effort to persuade these two stubborn people than to defeat a lich.
"Okay then," Lorraine shrugged helplessly and said, "Follow me."
Then he ordered to the junior officer: "Does this small mine have multiple exits?"
The officer shook his head and said: "Of course not. Although this kind of mine is good, it is a small mine after all. No one will invest so much."
Lorraine thought for a moment, and what he said was not bad. Once another opening was opened, the difficulty of supervision would be twice as high. Maybe someone mined the gold and escaped from another place.
He nodded slightly and said, "You stay and pay attention to the situation at the entrance of the cave."
If there really is a lich inside, this little officer will die if he goes in.
The young officer nodded quickly. Looking at his expression, he was obviously relieved.
Obviously he knew this. When they were tracking the lich, although each team was covered by a priest, for the sake of safety, the order given above was also to track and monitor and wait for professionals to handle it.
In fact, when Lorraine captured Edwood, the order he gave the soldiers was to search. After seeing the target, send a signal and wait for the professionals to handle it.
Lorraine peeled away the logs and weeds at the entrance of the mine, and then a pungent smell hit her face.
"It smells of blood, be careful~!"
Vera frowned unhappily, then pinched her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose. The smell was really unpleasant, and it was indescribably fishy and weird.
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, thinking that there wouldn't be any gas or water down here.
He used to hear the news about mining disasters every day. Over time, he naturally became more concerned about places like mines.
If there was an accident and tens of thousands of tons of rocks fell, it would be a big joke if his body was not left in the hands of the high priest of the undead, but ended up in the hands of a few small mine owners who dug illegally.
.
Fortunately, Lorraine also knows that metal mines are safer than coal mines, otherwise Lorraine would not enter no matter what.
Wouldn't it be better if he had a good meal outside and blew up the mine with a bang?
However, this trick can be used against strangers, but it is less effective against lichs.
Vera pushed Lorraine's shoulder impatiently from behind and said, "Master, hurry up."
Lorraine pouted, loaded the bullet and walked inside.
There is no light source here, and it becomes dark after a few steps. You can't see where the mine tunnel extends, nor how deep it is inside.
Lester released a lighting spell, and a bright ball of light slowly flew inward, illuminating the inside of the mine.
The mine tunnel here is narrow and rugged, only wide enough for one person to pass through. The winding ground inside is filled with large and small rocks. There are a bunch of tools thrown on the ground at the entrance of the tunnel.
Lorraine followed the flare and carefully touched inside.
The further we walked in, the air became heavier and heavier, making us feel like we were being pressed against our chests, and the smell of blood in the air became heavier.
After turning around a crossing, under the strong light of illumination, Lorraine saw a black figure on the ground in front of him, leaning against the mountain wall, his head lowered and motionless.
Looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like a lich.
Lorraine raised his gun and said, "That one on the ground, can you get up?"
The man shook slightly.
Vera stuck her head out on Lorraine's shoulder and said, "Dead person?"
"No, it's still moving. I'll go take a look." When Lorraine walked over and approached the man, he smelled a strong smell of blood. The blood stains on the ground had penetrated into the gravel and were almost the same as the ground.
The color can only be seen when you get close.
Lorraine thought to himself: Judging from this situation, even if this guy on the ground is not dead, he is still alive.
"Master, Master!" Vera suddenly pushed Lorraine excitedly, pointed to the ground, and shouted happily: "There really is gold."
"Huh?" Lorraine glanced in the direction Vera pointed, and saw a sack falling on the ground, and a few pieces of ore punched by fists rolled out from it, which looked like a few small metallic flashes.
It's really a gold mine, Lorraine thought to himself, but if it's so big, it probably won't be enough for half a gold coin.
This is when Lester suddenly shouted, "Lorraine, be careful."
Lester walked at the back. He was not interested in gold and kept staring at the mine tunnel.
Lorraine also felt a figure rushing towards him from behind, turned the muzzle of the gun, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The muzzle of the shotgun flashed, and the gunshot echoed in the small space, creating a deafening effect.
The black image that rushed towards Lorraine was hit by a sledgehammer, and his body suddenly froze.
Then Lorraine quickly added a second shot, and the black shadow swayed back and fell to the ground.
Only then did Lorraine see clearly that the black figure was the person sitting on the ground just now. At this moment, his front had been hit by two shotguns like a sieve.
However, the miner who fell on the ground did not die immediately. His hands and feet were still struggling, and he slowly sat up from the ground again.
"Zombie," Lorraine said solemnly. Humans cannot survive after being shot by two shotguns. Lorraine said: "I'm sure the lich is here."
Lester's face was filled with joy and he urged: "Quickly deal with this guy and chase him inside."
He walked at the back, with Lorraine and Vera blocking him in front, making it difficult for him to take action.
Lorraine shot two more shots at the zombie on the ground, shattering his head. The zombie lay motionless on the ground, and then Lorraine stepped over the corpse.
At this time, a dark shadow flashed in the dark place ahead, like a figure flashing past.
Lorraine said: "There is someone, chase~!"
Following the direction in which the black shadow disappeared, Lorraine turned around a curved tunnel and suddenly saw that there was no passage ahead. It was a dead end.
The black figure was at the bottom of the tunnel with his back to Lorraine. Miners were lying on the ground in a mess, with tools like mining picks lying around him.
Lester snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to push Lorraine and Vera aside and squeezed forward. He waved his staff and shouted seriously: "Boy, you have no way to escape. Did you take the initiative to take out the life box or Master?"
I'll burn you dry and take it myself."
The black shadow at the bottom of the tunnel remained motionless, but the miner lying on the ground suddenly got up slowly, roared like a beast, opened his mouth and rushed towards Lester.
Lorraine said anxiously: "Be careful, it's a zombie."
Lester raised his hand and clicked a little, sneered and said: "Death struggle."
A blast of cold air visible to the naked eye blew out from in front of Lester, instantly freezing everything it touched.
A layer of hoarfrost immediately formed on the bodies of several zombies, and they were frozen motionless. Even the stone walls on both sides were covered with a layer of frost.
The cold wind that bounced off the stone wall passed by Lorraine's side, and Lorraine immediately shivered.
Lester smiled with satisfaction and said: "If it wasn't too stuffy here, I would simply burn you to ashes. Now, go to hell."
Lester used his staff, and a sheet of light cyan mana missiles flew towards the frozen zombies. After hitting the zombies, a series of explosions occurred.
In the explosion, the zombies shattered like pieces of ice and fell to the ground piece by piece.
Even the man in black inside was turned into pieces by Lester's move.
"Huh?" Lester frowned and said, "That's not right."
Then he left Lorraine and Vera behind and walked up quickly to check the pile of debris at the bottom of the alley.
"Oops, I've been fooled~!" Lester exclaimed bitterly.
Lorraine rushed forward, only to see a fragment of white bones covered with frost on the ground, with no lich's phylactery inside.
This black shadow is just an ordinary undead skeleton~!
Lorraine couldn't help but thought: Damn it, there is no lich here at all, so where is he?
"You fell into the trap. The guy is still outside. Let's go. Let's go quickly." Lorraine greeted and ran out of the exit with large strides. Vera and Lester just followed behind.
When passing by the bag of gold ore, Lorraine stepped over without hesitation. Vera didn't stop either. She just waved her little hand and the bag of gold ore disappeared.
When Lorraine and Vera disappeared from the entrance of the mine, Leo sighed helplessly and muttered: "It must be fun in there."
Catherine looked down at Leo with a majestic glance, and said coldly: "No."
Leo patted Xiaobai's big head and said: "Xiaobai, you said, just go in and take a look, what ghost can be there?
The boss is not even afraid of these bastards, he is also afraid of the monsters inside. Besides, there is also the evil-minded old man, he is vicious and ruthless, is there anything else to be afraid of?"
Xiao Bai looked ahead stupidly, not even daring to turn his eyes. He knew in his heart that he had to pretend to be stupid at this time.
Catherine was already gearing up, glaring at Leo and saying, "Who do you think is the eighth wife?"
Leo squinted his eyes and rolled his eyes at Catherine, saying, "So-and-so knows what's going on."
"You little scoundrel, I haven't beaten you for two days and you forgot about the pain. Stop here." Catherine said fiercely. She suddenly remembered that when she chased him just now, she was interrupted by Lorraine and the others before she could beat him.
.As a result, I also forgot about it.
Thinking of this, all of a sudden, old and new hatreds came to my mind.
At this time, Leo saw something was wrong, made a face at Catherine, opened his legs and ran towards the door.
At this time, a large piece of gravel suddenly erupted from the narrow mine, and a black shadow was wrapped in the middle of the stone, rushing toward the sky like an oversized bat.
The young officer who was peering inside the mine was blown away by the air wave and fell several meters away.
The black shadow saw the war fortress hovering on the river bank and suddenly stopped in the air.
Only then did everyone in the war fortress see a skinny and shriveled human body.
After a slight pause, he suddenly rushed towards the war fortress.
Xiaobai yelled out quickly to alert others, and then rushed to Leo in two steps, using his fat body to block Leo. He curled up his long nose and picked up the ground next to him.
He picked up a brick and threw it towards the lich.
That level of proficiency, you can tell at a glance that it must have been practiced through many battles on the street.
At this time, Catherine also discovered the lich approaching rapidly, and shouted in panic: "Leo, stay away."
Leo also shouted at the same time: "Sister, get out of the way."
Then he pulled out the two revolvers from his belt, jumped up and lay on Xiao Bai's back.
At this time, the lich just turned aside and passed the flying bricks, and stopped slightly.
Taking advantage of this moment, Leo had already aimed at the lich and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Gunshots rang out rapidly, and the Lich was hit by several bullets, and his body kept shaking under the impact of the bullets.
The Lich couldn't help but scream. Although his phylactery was extremely strong and difficult to be damaged by ordinary swords, if he was hit by such a weapon, his precious phylactery would probably be broken.
When breaking out from the city gate, the Lich had already been attacked by the priests and magicians and suffered moderate injuries, and could not withstand being injured again.
I saw the power of the weapons in Leo's hands, especially when I saw a large number of figures flashing out of the war fortress, a large amount of magic gathering in the air, and a terrifying gathering of holy power - the human war
The fortress will never be without heavy protection.
Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, he did not hesitate to fight. He suddenly raised his body and rushed straight up to the sky.
Leo fired all twelve bullets in one go. Seeing the lich escaping toward the sky under his gun, Leo slid off Xiaobai's back, raised the muzzle of the gun and blew a puff of it calmly.
The white smoke appeared, then he sighed and said, "Being invincible is also a kind of loneliness."
Leo turned the revolver of the pistol and was about to take off the cartridge case and reload. Catherine had a frosty look on her face, gritted her silver teeth and walked up behind Leo. She raised her hand and slapped Leo hard, and said angrily: "Didn't you hear that?"
I asked you to hide."
Leo was feeling good about himself when he was suddenly slapped. He jumped up in anger and said loudly: "You are an unreasonable woman. I beat him away~!"
"Is this the time for you to show off?" Catherine grabbed Leo and prepared to give him a good beating.
Leo pointed to the entrance of the mine and said, "The boss is out."
Then he escaped from Catherine's clutches.
Lorraine, Vera, and Lester quickly ran out of the cave and immediately looked for traces of the lich.
Leo pointed to the sky, indicating the direction in which the lich should escape.
Lester couldn't wait and jumped into the air to catch up quickly.
Lorraine dragged the unconscious officer from the ground, and then pulled Vera back to the war fortress.
Then, before Lorraine could stand firm, War Fortress plucking onions from dry land, rising vertically into the air, and chased after him at full speed.
