Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth the ability of the artifact
"I seem to remember telling you, right? It seems that your tutoring time will be extended!"
The black line on Homer's head and Walnut's bad homework can make it angry to death.
"Eh? Is there any?"
The little Loli tried hard to recall, but her head turned into a ball of mush, mosquito coils appeared in her eyes, and she still couldn't recall anything.
"Isn't the mana mineral vein intended to be dedicated to the prince, but why is he still being hunted?" Downton frowned and thought.
"Is that the general who wants to monopolize it?"
Hutao raised his hand, as if he had discovered a big secret.
"Impossible. Mineral veins are not gold coins. They can be hidden at home. They are strategic resources. As long as they are mined, there will be a lot of noise." Downton shook his head. "Even if he wants to mine secretly, he should pursue it quietly."
Kill this dwarf and lead troops to attack the whole city, and even fools will know that something is wrong."
"Perhaps the general is a fool?"
Walnut lists the possibilities.
"No, it should be the prince's instruction, otherwise they would never dare to do this. It seems that the dwarf tribe that offered the mine belongs to another prince?"
Downton looked at Twilight with questioning eyes.
"Great reasoning." Twilight praised. The dwarf patriarch in the dv crystal was talking about His Highness the Prince, and did not name him by name, but she knew that he was referring to the Second Prince.
"That's ridiculous."
Downton was modest and heard a lot of hidden meanings from Twilight's words, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you familiar with the national conditions of the dwarves?"
"Why do you say that?"
Twilight asked with a smile. After spending some time with Downton, she was no longer as cold as before.
"Since you can confirm whether my reasoning is correct, and your attitude is confident, and it is obviously not a compliment, it naturally means that you have a detailed understanding of the dwarf empire. Otherwise, you will be unable to make a judgment. In other words, where does an unknown tribe belong to?
A prince knows this, so I have to admire him."
Downton hid some words in his heart. Even the guides who wandered underground to make a living would probably not pay special attention to the princes. After all, their identities were too far apart and there was almost no interaction. But Twilight seemed to be familiar with them.
"Grey Ridge Mountain is close to the second prince's fiefdom. The tribes living here must be his subjects. This dwarf is being hunted down. It must be a greedy guy in the tribe who wants to get into the arms of the eldest prince with the news of the mine.
After all, judging from the current situation, the eldest prince has completely surpassed the second prince and has the greatest chance of ascending to the throne."
Twilight's guess was absolutely correct. There was a traitor in the dwarf team escorting the map this time. He wanted to be a noble and a high official, so he sold his compatriots to the prince, and then a carefully prepared killing trap began.
The middle-aged dwarf who collapsed in the wine cellar was the team leader and the second most powerful person in the tribe. Otherwise, he would have been unable to escape. However, he was severely injured by the two hill warriors. It was his last struggle to survive here.
The men of the braided general were too greedy and were busy extorting money. They delayed the search and even had a conflict with Downton and his party. In order not to offend Her Highness the Princess, coupled with the pressure of the four super beasts, they had to retreat. Otherwise, this
Sooner or later the guy will be found.
"Only princes can legitimately mine. This is the city of the eldest prince. No matter how you look at it, he is the mastermind behind it."
Twilight sighed. It is estimated that that tribe has been uprooted by now, otherwise they would stand on the side of the second prince as witnesses, which would be very detrimental to him.
"No matter what, the map is ours now." Hu Tao smiled brightly, "Anyway, it's idle time. Let's go find the Heart of the Mountains?"
"You're so naive. You know everything on your knees. Even if the eldest prince won't send out troops to guard the mines in order to keep it secret, he will still arrange for several elite teams to patrol and fight against other people's regular troops on the dwarf's land? Isn't this looking for death?
"
Downton was not dazzled by the priceless Heart of the Mountain.
"You can kill as many as you want. Counting Sissi's demon servants, we have four super beasts!" Hutao raised a little hand, thought for a moment that something was wrong, and then bent his thumb back.
"Do you want to start a war? The Heart of the Mountain has spiritual intelligence, which means it can already hide. Even if we are lucky enough to find it at once, but to capture it, there will definitely be a war, and it will definitely be
The dwarves brought it."
Twilight also disapproved, "For a treasure like this, the Great Prince will definitely send out the best among the best. There will definitely be no shortage of strong men with flying mounts."
"Yes, according to normal conditions, we have to stay in the Gray Ridge Mountains for at least more than a week. During this period, it is impossible not to encounter the dwarf patrol. Even if they are all annihilated, they will not be able to hide their whereabouts. They are the army, and their efficiency is definitely higher than yours.
They imagine that as long as someone goes missing, they can guess that there is an intruder in the Gray Ridge Mountains, and then there will be a large-scale search and then a war."
Downton raised his index finger, "When fighting in enemy territory, we will face successive dwarf soldiers. Then the King of the Hill will come in large numbers."
"There is also a possibility that if the dwarf army doesn't take action, it will wait until we and the Heart of the Mountains are both injured and come out to pick peaches. And with Sissi's identity, if the super beasts are dispatched to fight, it will cause diplomatic disputes and even cause two empires.
In terms of war, you must know that the underground races have never given up their ambition to invade the surface. Once the war breaks out and the people are devastated, the reputations of Sissi and Lombardy, who are the triggers, will plummet. The other eight human empires will not pounce to add insult to injury and rise up their own.
Seeing the undead is only for profit, so Sissi must not participate in the war."
Because of her background and vision, Twilight always sees things from a higher perspective than Downton. The former has a high position and stands at the national level, while the latter is still on the tactical side.
Of course, Twilight will not look down on Downton because of this, but will become more interested in him. You must know that this young man is from a commoner background, and it is quite extraordinary to have such knowledge and mind. Besides, he is not yet eighteen years old, and there will be more in the future.
Huge room for growth.
"So we have no chance?"
Hutao was so disappointed that a bottle of oil could hang from her pouted mouth.
"Yes, the rewards are not proportional to the efforts, and it is not worth the risk."
When she first heard about Heart of the Mountain, Twilight was very tempted, but after thinking about the pros and cons, she decisively gave up.
"Twilight will definitely be someone who does big things in the future."
Homer secretly praised that there are very few people who can be so calm in the face of a peerless treasure. Twilight's mind is too mature. I really don't know what kind of education she received before.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Hutao looked at Downton, like a wild cat eager for food. In the little Loli's heart, there was no problem that Downton couldn't solve.
"Downton, I hope you will be sensible and fight against the most likely dwarf king. No matter you win or lose, you will create a formidable enemy in the future."
Twilight persuaded.
"Do I seem that reckless?"
Downton rolled his eyes, but he was actually very distressed. He was thinking that even if he couldn't find the Heart of the Mountains, he would sell the map and the DV crystal for a high price.
"Loot three, how about seven? Twilight, we sincerely invite you to join the ore grabbing adventure team."
Homer suddenly spoke, which shocked the three of them. No one expected that things would take a turn.
"Um?"
Twilight noticed that Homer was talking about 'mineral veins', not the heart of the mountains, and after spending so many days together, she had already experienced the power of the ancient grimoire.
"Downton has a fragment of an artifact that has the miraculous ability to extract magic energy. As long as he gets close to the mineral vein and gives him a few days, he can completely extract all the magic energy from it."
Homer can be regarded as an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years. After a few days of getting along with him, he has a deeper understanding of Twilight. This girl is the kind of girl who, once made friends, will never leave her for life.
She has a stubborn personality, but it is very difficult to win her trust.
"How sure are you of success?"
Twilight asked. Although her expression was dull, she was full of happiness at Homer's frankness. She glanced at Downton and found that he was not dissatisfied.
"More than 80%!"
Homer breathed a sigh of relief. He made the right bet, and he saw the right person. Twilight had a great personality. Look, if it had been anyone else, he would have asked what the artifact fragment was!
"I promise you!"
Twilight checked the body again and confirmed that it was worthless. A ball of flame the size of a fingernail popped out with a finger, and it immediately burned after touching the body.
There were dry wine racks all around, but there was no fire. Just looking at the superb fire control ability of this hand, it vaguely showed Twilight's strength.
"Oh yeah, it's time to take risks."
Walnut dances and smiles happily.
"You don't think I've exposed the hand of creation, do you?"
Homer tests Downton.
"How could it be? Twilight is not the kind of girl who covets other people's artifacts."
Although Downton didn't want to admit it, he had a tacit understanding with Twilight, especially when fighting. He knew what to do without even having to speak.
"But Homer, the hand of creation still has this ability, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Downton suddenly came to his senses when he left, "Can we really absorb all the 20 billion mana veins?"
"Nonsense, I am an encyclopedia, how could I make mistakes? But it will take a long time to absorb, unless there are more fragments of the hand of creation." Homer had already seen through Downton's thoughts, "You don't want to absorb
Those known veins, right?”
"Yes, in that case, wouldn't all the magic energy veins in the world belong to us? We will never be short of magic energy, right?" Downton joked, "You can use magic stones to build a castle, but not a city, right?"
"It's okay to daydream about this kind of mineral veins that have not yet been mined. After you extract them, others will only think that it is an exploration error. But if you want to extract those known mineral veins, you will definitely become a public enemy of the world. No, before you become a public enemy
, you have been besieged and killed by strong men above the dragon-slaying level."
Even the legendary strong men are eager to take possession of the miraculous abilities of the hand of creation.
In order to dispel Downton's chances, Homer gave a serious warning, "Why did I invite Twilight to go with me? Because there will be a huge elemental reaction when the hand of creation absorbs the mineral veins, so it will definitely be discovered. Her role then is to block the enemy."
