The World of Deities
Chapter 287 Commission
"It's all old friends, I'm not welcome. Come in quickly, it's dangerous outside." The old town mayor said.
The team entered the town and everything was settled. The caravan entered the town’s citizen hall, a large wooden house that could hold hundreds of people.
As everyone continued to enter, the oil lamps in the hall flickered and several lamps near the door were blown out.
Su Ye and a few other mages put out the floating light outside, shining brightly in the citizen hall.
Hulu reluctantly sat outside the door.
I really can't get in.
The old mayor has a gray beard and a slightly camel back, but he is very tall. The soldier badge on his left chest is a giant silver-white bear.
"It turned out to be a silver warrior." Su Ye stared at the badge and thought.
"We are old friends in Hongshan Town and Agala Firm. I also like Hannas very much, although he always looks at the girls in our town." The old mayor smiled slightly.
The business and the people in the town followed suit.
Hannas nodded politely, accepting the compliment of the old mayor.
"I have selfishness and kindness. My kindness tells me that after we complete the transaction, we should ask you to leave immediately. But my selfishness tells me that Hongshan Town is willing to pay a high amount of ore to invite you to explore the underground of Hongshan. What happened. If it is really dangerous, we will either report it to the city-state, or hire someone to solve it, or the whole town will flee.” The old mayor glanced helplessly at everyone present, and finally stared at Hannas.
Hannas smacked his lips and said: "Old Mayor, if this is the territory of the Agala family, I will send someone directly, but you know my identity, I don’t want the caravan to be involved in any risk. Of course, if most people in the caravan agree, I will follow their wishes."
The old mayor smiled slightly and said: "If you are willing to participate, all the gains in this process belong to you. You should know that this devil mountain is a treasure, and there have been many precious beautiful things, including the source of magic power. In addition, we are willing to give this mine king as a reward."
As the old mayor said, he lifted the large ore covered by rags. It was half a person tall. The main part was light red stones. Among the light red stones, there were faintly visible red gems, the size of pigeon eggs. , There are more than thirty, I don't know how many there are in the depths.
Many people present showed a curious look, especially the mages and those who understand ore.
Su Ye knew this crimson magic gem, called'Red Flame Stone', which was an essential material for many fire magic devices.For this kind of town or little nobleman, it is a big treasure, but in the eyes of the mage, it is just a relatively basic magic material.
The reason why I am not interested is that the mining of this red flame stone is too difficult. They are deeply hidden in the redstone and are extremely hard. Even the magic of fossilized mud does not work. You need to use another redstone to constantly tap It can be exploited slowly.
If you hit it with huge force, the red flame stone will shatter and its value will be greatly reduced.
If the red flame stone mine is too barren, the lord will give up mining or sell it at a low price.
"This red flame stone mine king, someone once offered 10,000 golden eagles, we did not agree. Because our valuation is around 20,000 golden eagles. We are now paying this red flame stone mine king to hire you to investigate the underground of Hongshan The question, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"
Hannas looked at the other silver and bronze warriors, everyone's eyes were brighter than usual.
This caravan ran back and forth between Ephesus and Milli, and the net income was less than ten thousand golden eagles, but this was already considered a profitable caravan, and the business accounted for the majority, and not much was distributed to everyone.
If you accept this additional commission, according to the usual practice, the firm only draws a 10% commission.
Su Ye didn't care about the money, but wanted to see the devil.
The voice of Wang Dahui's master and servant rang in Su Ye's ears.
"Your Majesty, there is a gem in this ore, which is more precious. You know, in our era, magic gems were not named individually. I only know that it is a magic gem of fire." Wang Sledgehammer said.
Su Ye also used the voice transmission of the master and servant to ask: "Describe the gem, the more detailed the better."
"The shape is irregular. If the ordinary red flame stone is like a small flame, the magic gem is like a lake of flames, and it is full of violent aura, as if there is life. Well... I remember, this magic gem , It should be the blood or wreckage of a powerful fire monster."
Su Ye immediately understood, and secretly said to Wang Sledgehammer: "It seems that I will let you learn modern mineral knowledge in the future. This is a very famous'fire dragon gem', which refers to all the gems condensed from the blood or remains of higher fire type monsters. How big is this gem?"
"My half thumb is as big." Wang Dazhu said secretly, raising his fist.
Such a large fire dragon gemstone, even if the quality is ordinary, is still at the level of ten thousand golden eagles. If the quality is slightly better, it may exceed twenty thousand golden eagles, which is enough to become the main material of the sanctuary magic weapon.
"I can take it out secretly." Wang Dahui secretly said.
Su Ye said calmly: "It's not necessary."
Wang Dahui nodded.
Hannas looked at Su Ye.
Su Ye said: "I can go with you, you know, I really want to see the devil."
Hannas looked at the members of the caravan and said, "I will not force everyone to order, so everything is determined by the rules by people of the silver and bronze ranks raising their hands, and those who go there raise their hands. If those who go are in the majority, then We will accept this entrustment. Of course, those who don’t want to go can stay here to guard, but it won’t be too much. Okay, now a show of hands. I agree to go.
Hannas raised his right hand.
The people of the silver and black iron ranks looked at each other, and most of them raised their right hands.
"Very well, now the team has decided to go. However, final preparations have to be made. Old Mayor, do you have any requirements?" Hannas asked.
"At least the bronze rank, because the two black irons in our town are gone forever. We were planning to go to the city to find someone, but thinking that you are coming, we are waiting for you. If you disagree, we will go to the city. Seek help."
"No wonder," Hannas whispered.
The silver and bronze ranks of the caravan began to discuss.
"Suya, are you sure to go?" Hannas asked.
"I'll go." Su Ye said.
"You...consider again." Taibesha frowned slightly.
"Aunt Taibesha, I am sharpening myself, not to mention having you here, what am I afraid of?" Su Ye smiled.
"I don't want you to go, but if you must go, I will protect you." Aunt Taibesha said helplessly.
After discussing for a while, everyone quickly decided that all the four silvers would be dispatched, and the caravan would send a bronze magician and four bronze warriors, and Su Ye's people would all follow.
The team quickly made preparations, and under the leadership of a dark iron townsman, climbed over a hill over a hundred meters high and stood on the top of the mountain.
"Look, it's there." The townsman pointed to the big black hole under the hillside on the other side.
Su Ye looked over, his heart beating hard.
Surrounded by the light red mountain peaks, an irregular black deep pit with a diameter of about three to four hundred meters appeared, like a passage to hell, without bottom, as if a terrifying monster was hidden.
A faint thick smoke wafted over the deep pit, even if it was far away, you could smell the pungent sulfur.
The silver mage sniffed gently, with a solemn expression, and said: "This is indeed the smell of hell, I have smelled it."
Su Ye looked at Wang Dahui, who shook his head, and then looked at Di Aotian.
Di Aotian nodded nonchalantly.
Finally, Su Ye looked at Akdes.
Akdes nodded.
"It seems that there is a plane crack, Akdes, what do you think?" Su Ye asked.
Everyone looked at the brawny man whose face was covered by hair and beard.
"The breath of hell is very weak, indicating that the cracks in the plane are not big, and there will be no demons beyond the golden level."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Even without Akdes, with the strength of this team, it is enough to defeat a single golden devil.
Silver Mage Cecil took a look and snored, and said to Su Ye: "Your giant follower may not be suitable for this kind of place."
"My bronze-level reduction technique can make him shrink a bit, and your silver-level reduction technique is more effective. If the passage is always small, I can let him wait outside." Su Yedao.
"This is best." Cecil nodded.
After a brief discussion, everyone stood on the mountain, bid farewell to the townspeople who led the way, and walked towards the cave.
When they got closer, everyone stopped Hulu.
The rest of the people slowly came to the edge of the big pit and poked their heads to look inside.
The wall of the pit went straight up and down, and the slope slowed down at a depth of thirty to forty meters.Most of the places below are dark, some places are glowing with dark red luster, and a deeper hole is faintly visible.
Cecil said: "I use gliding with you one by one, and you can fall like feathers. But...snoring is no way to go down, at least you need the gliding technique of the golden mage to support it. He uses my gliding technique If you go down, it's no different from jumping down."
Su Ye nodded and looked at Hulu.
Hulu was carrying the totem pole. He was already far away from the big pit and dared not to pass. He was afraid of being crushed. Now he is even more aggrieved.
"The question is, how do we get up?" Hannas asked the key question.
Cecil said: "Simple, I will use gliding, wind walking and climbing techniques for everyone to climb up easily. You see, the texture of this mountain wall is very hard and there will be no problem. If the texture is soft, I can use fossil to make mud and turn mud to stone to make a ladder."
"That's good, it's just a pity for Guru, even if he can go, climbing skills can't bear his weight."
"I can take him down." Akdes said.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Akdes with surprise.
"You don't think about it anymore? The totem pole can be taken with my ring of large space, but his people..." Su Yedao.
"I'll go down with him first."
In the dull gaze of everyone, Akdes grabbed the totem pole with his right hand and snored with his left hand, and jumped directly into the dark pit. Then the two people ran down the slope and rushed into the deeper pit.
