The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 45 Adamantite Mine

Alien Tracking Mastiff, a kind of spirit beast from the upper plane, this small dog is said to have inherited the blood of the ancient God of Destiny's grace, not only has excellent vision and sense of smell, the most peculiar thing about them is that they also have a A strange innate intuition, a gift akin to lucky hunches, makes the Tracker Mastiff an excellent adventure companion.But it is rare to hear that anyone can summon this legendary gift, even most of the most knowledgeable mages have not heard of it, and Elf also does not know it, but this does not prevent her from seeing through Sunderland. Magic scrolls are a trick under the guise.

With the help of the ability to track the mastiff from another world, the group easily found the kobold's lair.

The kobold's cave is in a small crypt far away. Everyone walked for more than an hour (Sunderland's magic timer) to get there. Everyone really couldn't figure out why the kobold ran so far away. Dig that passage, because it's not a rich mineral deposit there, but a kobold lair.This narrow cave, less than three feet high, dug by the kobolds completely restricts the intrusion of all larger monsters or humans except the kobolds. Among the few people, only a little girl can barely climb in, but William will never Will let the little one go on an adventure.

"There's nothing inside! The kobolds have moved away!" Sunderland, who commanded the tracking mastiff to rush in to check, said wrinkling his nose, "Only the passage at the exit is relatively narrow, and the passage inside is wider. We still have to go in ?"

"Of course! I want to see how much good ore those bugs have stolen from me!" The one-eyed dwarf greedily stroked the stone wall at the entrance of the cave. This is an excellent open-pit mine deposit (open-pit?), almost the entire stone wall is made of iron ore. This old guy already regarded it as his own, and rather shamelessly labeled the kobold who previously occupied this place as a "thief".

"But we should inspect the vicinity first. Investigate the distribution of monsters here! This is the first task!" Another dwarf Togg objected, and the two dwarves then quarreled.The others hid aside to watch the excitement, and they almost moved a small horse.Among the few people, Singers came for the ore, because in the underground, as long as there are ore veins near the area where the kobolds gather, this is the consistent experience of the dwarves; Togg is one of the security guards in Mirabar One, he is responsible for the safety of the city; Sunderland is here to experience a life of adventure, and no matter what the outcome, Marquis Erastu Larim will have his due share; William is serving the one-eyed dwarves "wage earners", while the little girls are "groups of relatives and friends" who "eat and drink with public funds" and add soy sauce.

What does it mean to be prepared, old Singers "perfectly" proved this point. The one-eyed dwarf won the quarrel because he brought a pickaxe for mining. The old guy happily dug the hole with the pickaxe Come.

Sunderland is happily running on the dwarf warrior who failed in the quarrel: "You should be ashamed of your blindness and mindless words! Say 'I agree if you bring a mine pick', don't you see the cross The pickaxe is on the old man's back! You should be ashamed!" The female consul's attack made the hammer hammer so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

"That's right! That's right! You should feel ashamed!" Elf, who likes to play pranks, also added oil and vinegar to the side, and Mi Sha'er, who found it funny, cheered happily while waving her small fists.

"Shut up!" snarled the almost mad dwarf, scaring the two little ones away with his red eyes. "Damn it! Little Sunderland! What the hell are you trying to say?"

The female consul covered her mouth playfully and laughed, "It's nothing! I just thought you were funny and wanted to have some fun!" The dwarf, who was stunned by the thunder, only felt his eyes go dark, and he fainted out of anger after roaring.The little girl who was covering her little head and hiding behind William poked her head out secretly, and asked a little puzzled: "Oh! Why is the fat Togg falling asleep?" William laughed loudly.

The old dwarf's digging speed was really too slow. William and the others had eaten twice, and Misha even slept in her brother's arms. The old dwarf was still digging frantically.The old guy wasn't digging a hole at all, but more like digging a hole. The hole didn't open much for half a day, but the entire rock wall was dug in more than two feet, and the ore dug out almost piled up into a small hill.Togg hid on the side and blew his beard and stared at the female consul. Sunderland, who turned a deaf ear to this, occupied the winter wolf skin specially used by Misha, and lay down half-reclined to tease the pet he had summoned. The two little ones The guy looked at it with red eyes and hot hands, drooling, of course it's about the cute pet, don't miss it.

Sunderland smiled and asked with a strange expression: "Do you like it?" The two little guys nodded like chickens eating rice, "Do you want to have one too?" Sunderland glanced at the two of them with a long voice, but her eyes still fell on the top of Misha'er's head. The little girl immediately hugged the helmet on her head with both hands like a conditioned reflex, and ran back to William's side with a big sea blue face. Looking at his brother with aggrieved eyes, William helplessly rubbed the little girl's head under the helmet, pinched her pink face and said, "I really can't do anything about you! Okay! Brother will get a cuter one." This little guy is for you!" Misha immediately ran back to look at the dog with a smile, regardless of Sunderland's gloomy eyes.

William was really speechless about the "bad" behavior of old Singers. He said to Phinya who was eating bacon: "Finia! Lend me an ax!" He smiled, and picked up the giant ice ax beside him with one hand and handed it over.

"Old Singers! Get out of the way!" William brought the giant ax upside down and came to the cave. He concentrated his legs and swung the ax with both hands. The stone wall containing iron ore was easily split like a large piece of wood. .Then, under the horrified eyes of everyone gasping for breath, William showed people what it means to cut iron like mud. The hard stone walls are like clay sculptures molded from soft mud. There is no spark when a little gold and stone collide.

In nearly half an hour, like a mountain god, William forcibly cut a passage nine feet high, six feet wide, and nearly twenty feet long. Covered in dust and limp, William walked panting Back to the resting point, everyone hurriedly avoided him like a plague god, and Mi Sha'er sat there staring at him with her mouth wide open in a daze.

William, who picked up the water bag and poured it wildly, looked at the evasive crowd, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Is there anything on me?" He casually wiped the plaster two fingers thick on his forehead, He said to himself, "Oh! It's really a bit dirty."

Who cares whether your body is clean or dirty, the guilty Sunderland smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha! Ha ha? It's a bit dirty! Ah! Today's weather is fine! The moon is so round!" The two dwarves and Love Elf also responded with a smirk.What the hell!This is underground!Miss!Where does the weather and the moon come from.

Phinya looked at his ax foolishly. Could it be the legendary artifact?I didn't find out before?William looked at the female half-giant inspecting the weapon with some embarrassment. There were already many scratches on the surface of the axe, and a large number of small gaps on the blade of the axe. The wear and tear caused by not being able to perfectly control his strength, it seems that he still has a long way to go before he can fully recover his strength.

Not to mention that William found a water source to wash off the dust on his body, then ate and recovered his strength, but the stupid Finia walked into the passage with his giant axe, and slammed the ax on the edge of the stone wall with both hands, "Bang bang!" With an ear-shattering bang, the tearful giantess dropped her ax and came out with trembling hands.Hearing that the voice was wrong, William hurried forward to take a look, but it was Phinya's tiger's mouth that was shattered, and his hands were trembling like chicken feet after a stroke. William rubbed the muscles and bones of this silly girl's arms and massaged the acupoints while laughing and crying. While soothing her tendons and activating blood circulation, Finia knelt down and sobbed against the man like a child, but the scene that should have been warm was filled with a slightly sour sense of humor.

Seeing this rather funny scene, the others lost their fear of William, and smiled and pointed at the side. The little girl also ran over and hugged her brother's thigh to join in the fun.

The kobold's cave was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. After William's excavation, the height of the original cave at this time was close to five feet. Except for Phinya, who was too big, the rest of the people could barely get in.

The gathering place of the kobolds has inherited the tradition of goblins - dirty, messy and smelly!It is true that many things will be much more convenient when there is a mage present. Sunderland used [Wind Breath] to blow out the air in the cave and replace it. Of course, she released the magic under the cover of the scroll.

The kobolds moved away in a hurry, and weapons (kobold type), ore, mining picks, and various living utensils were scattered all over the place.After resting for a long time, William felt that his strength was exhausted. He picked up the giant ax that Finia had dropped. This silly girl may have a broken hand bone and cannot use heavy tools for the time being. Even if she drank the healing potion, the effect was not as good as that of William. The bottle that Elf used for the first time was effective.A gap the size of a fingernail appeared on the blade of the giant axe. William tried to strike where Finia had hacked. As the ax blade touched the stone wall, he immediately felt something was wrong. Suddenly an extremely hard hole appeared inside the stone wall. A hard object blocked the castration of the giant axe.

William immediately held the handle of the ax with both hands, twisted his body, pressed his fingers several times on the trembling handle, and eliminated the trembling force that bounced back, but the bounced giant ax was uncontrollably thrown on the ground, the ax A stone pit about a foot in size was smashed into the hard ground.Just these few movements almost consumed half of William's recovered strength. He wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at Finia's ax with a sad face. .

At this time, Old Singers, who was rummaging through the kobold's ore savings, suddenly held a fist of purple-black ore excitedly and shouted: "My God! Moradin is the supreme! Look at what this is! Togg !William! Look what old Singers found! Ha ha! Adamantium!"
