my age of magic

Chapter 311 111. Chaos Among the Goblins

Hank's expedition team found this mine, and their original intention was to find the magic metal red copper inside, but they didn't expect to be ambushed by the cunning goblins, and almost killed a team member. The situation was very different when they returned, and now the red copper ore was found next to the copper mine on the rock wall, which made Hank and his team members very excited.

Hank talked to me about the distribution of red copper ore in these mines in a somewhat tactful manner. Hank’s proposal was that our two teams should share the red copper ore in the mines equally, but I refused after thinking about it. I just gave up. Because no one in our team has learned mining, and mining technology is hard work, so after a little discussion with several members of our team, I chose to give up the right to mine red copper ore.

In this regard, Hank feels a little indebted to us. After all, along the way, cleaning up those goblins hidden in the dark was completed by the two people of our team, Ragtis and Darwin, so he proposed to distribute the mining equally. The red copper ore, I refused decisively.The Academy of Magic does not encourage students to learn life skills such as mining. During this period of time, I have never even touched a mining pick.

So I proposed: we don't want cuprite. If you are lucky and find malachite in cuprite, then give me the right to own the first piece of malachite, and I can exchange it with other equivalent magic materials.

When I said this, Hank scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to me hesitantly: "It stands to reason that if you give us these red copper mines, if you dig out malachite, you should give them to you directly. What's the use of talking?" The exchange of magic materials is out of the question. But that kind of gemstone is too rare after all. If we really dig out one, then we won’t have to ask our parents for money before graduation. So, this matter will be done according to what Ji Jia said , but if two pieces are really dug out, then we will share them equally..."

Malachite is a rare magical gemstone, usually associated with large copper mine veins. According to the records in the magic book, if malachite is inlaid on the staff, it will give the staff the magical effect of "Enhanced Healing" .However, gemstones like malachite are very rare, and the chances of finding such gemstones in such mines are almost zero.Because these goblins also have the habit of collecting rare gems, they will never let those malachites grow on the rock walls of the mine and not collect them.

I say this because I just want to reject those red copper ores that are not of high purity. Our magic pockets are filled with some materials from saber-toothed tigers. There are nine pieces of saber-toothed tiger fur alone, and two pieces of iron wood Wood and some magic herbs, and I also have some daylily and moonstone in my backpack, which were harvested at the one-way portal after the rescue operation.At that time, our team lured and killed the saber-toothed tiger king, and did not collect these magic materials in time. The materials in the backpack were supplied to me by Swift and Thomas afterwards.

Unexpectedly, the honest Hank took it seriously. Before seeing the shadow of the first malachite, he was thinking about the ownership of the second malachite.

Of the seven in our team, only Rita and Darwin didn't have much in their backpacks.So whenever Rita saw the members of Hank's team collecting red copper, she would turn her head away, deliberately not to look at their happy faces.Along the way, everyone gained something, and the atmosphere in the team suddenly rose. Among the crowd, Hank laughed the loudest.Being able to bring such practical benefits to his team made him a very proud captain.

In the mine tunnel along the way, many green-skinned monkeys died. Almost all of these goblins were shot and killed by Ragtis and Darwin.There is almost nothing valuable on the goblin, a blowpipe made of reed grass or a hunting bow like a child's toy, a metal knife that is about to rust and rot, even if it is thrown away casually On the streets of El City, no one will pick them up.

Before we knew it, we had reached the end of the mine, and the mine road in front of us had turned into a thick stone wall, but Lagertis and Darwin were nowhere to be seen.I held up a moonstone, and carefully searched for some clues along the wall, hoping that Lagertis could leave some marks for us. Behind a huge granite pebble protruding from the wall, I found a downward path. Excavated narrow passages.

On the stone wall at the entrance of the passage, I saw the latest mark left by Lagertis. There are two goblins sitting on the stone floor with their backs leaning against the stone wall. He was hit by an arrow, but there was only an arrow hole bleeding black blood, and the feathered arrow had been taken away.

It seems that they chased those goblins to the second floor of the mine. The scribbled notes Ragtis drew on the wall were very messy, with some simple patterns. I couldn't understand what she wanted to express. What's the meaning.

"Here's a piece of red copper! Boss." The ranger of Hank's team shouted excitedly from the innermost corner of the mine, holding a torch. This is already a No.20 piece of red copper. It seems that this time it is This trip is not allowed, and all members have gained something.This made them more active in the mine, carefully looking for red copper ore in every corner.

And at this time, the members of Hank's team no longer need to worry about the goblins in the dark corners of the mine. After expanding one after another, this ranger was not honest enough to go to such a secluded place without permission.

But he found a cluster of red copper ore, and Hank couldn't blame him too much, it would only dispel his enthusiasm.

We all leaned over to watch, his teammates walked over to help the ranger hold the torch, he was a little excited, and digging vigorously with a sharp mining pick, the sparks from the red copper ore fell on his face, He felt nothing.

I withdrew from the crowd.

Yingli and Becky began to worry about Lagertis' safety and waited anxiously at the entrance of the passage. At this time, Rita was also worried about Darwin.Becky wanted to go in first, but I grabbed her.Then I held up a moonstone and walked into the passage that turned sharply down first.

"Hey, are you still a reserved water-type healing magic apprentice?" Becky said to me very dissatisfied while pulling my lapel.

I said to her: "I only know that I am your captain, besides, which of you can heal faster than me?"

"Oh my god! Let's talk about it. Is it possible to recover quickly after being injured? Then Jijia, you should become a shield warrior. It's a pity to be a magic apprentice!" Becky leaned behind me, Bicker with me relentlessly.

"That's right, am I doing what a shield warrior should do now?" I turned my face to her side and said to her, Becky followed closely behind me, I could even smell the perfume on her body, She always smells of bitter orange blossom.

In the mine, I cooperated with her to kill the rock golem, which improved the tacit understanding between the two of us in the battle. Now she has regarded me as a reliable comrade in arms. When talking to me , less formal than before, a little more frank, and you can even make some small jokes with me.

Suddenly there was a suppressed exclamation from Hank's team behind him, but there was no sound at all after a while. It seemed that they must have discovered a large piece of red copper ore to make them so excited.But I can't control that much anymore. The narrow passage is very steep. At the beginning, when I stepped on the slippery moss, my body lost my balance for a moment, and I almost fell on my back. It happened that Becky followed me Come up, stretch out your hands and hold me from behind.

Although I was lucky enough not to fall, I was embraced by Becky, and my head happened to rest on her shoulder, her warm breath sprayed on my face, and with the help of the dim moonstone in my hand, I could see that her face was a little red, and seeing me staring at her face in a daze, Becky pushed me twice, tried to calm down her voice, and begged me, "Get up!"

"There is slippery moss on the ground, I accidentally fell down. Those behind you should also be careful." I struggled to stand up and said to the people behind.

Ying Li's voice came from behind: "Jia, you have to be more careful!"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry!" I responded,
After entering the second floor of the mine, I found that the mine here is much wider than the first floor, and in the mine road here, there will be a lamp on the stone wall every twenty meters, and there will be a lamp burning inside. I know what kind of animal fat is very resistant to burning, but the light of the wall lamp can't shine too far and is swallowed by the surrounding darkness. It's like an underground palace, and there are artificial carvings in every stone room. This place is no longer a simple mine, but has been repaired by these underground residents to look like exquisite rooms.

Not too far from the exit, there are several goblin corpses lying here and there with arrow wounds on their bodies, but the wounds on two goblins make me a little nervous, one of them is the neck where it is obviously The one who was strangled to death by a steel wire, and the corpse of another goblin was stabbed in the chest several times before he died. I just want to know whose knife skills are so bad. After stabbing it several times, it finally stabbed into the heart Its heart stopped beating.

Obviously Lagertis would not give up his elven longbow even in close combat, so the goblin who was strangled to death by the bowstring should be Lagertis' masterpiece, and the other goblin who was stabbed to death by a sharp blade The Goblin should have been killed by Darwin who has no close combat experience, but his sword skills are really bad...

Ragties and Darwin have been pushed into hand-to-hand combat, it seems that the situation is not as optimistic as we thought, and everywhere they go, they are fighting hard, I don't understand, they have fallen into such a crisis Among them, why do you still want to go inside instead of returning to join us.

Going further inside, another weird picture appeared in front of my eyes. It was two completely different goblins tightly hugging each other, one with a frightened face, trying to break away in a panic. But it was pierced into the chest along the collarbone with a knife, and died in the constant struggle. Its eyes were blood red, and it looked a little hideous and terrifying in this dark space.The other was wearing a chain mail with a lining, but its chest seemed to have been smashed by a sledgehammer, and the entire chain mail was sunken. Before it died, it tried to open its eyes, but Those eyes that had lost any expression were blue-black.

These are two completely different goblins. One is equipped with superior equipment and even after death, its eyes are clear. Although its appearance is still so wretched, there is no trace of tyranny from its body. The two of them should almost always die, and this also let me know that in this cave, there is another kind of goblin that has not lost its mind, and these two kinds of goblins seem to be the same Hostile relationship.

"What's the matter?" Seeing me stop, Hank squatted on the ground and carefully looked at the traces of fighting on the ground under the faint light of the moonstone, so he leaned over and asked me.

I looked around, then took a breath and said, "Maybe this is where the goblins really live! Look."

I pointed to the two goblins lying on the ground, and said to Hank: "There are also chaos and struggles among the goblins. I don't know who we should help!"

"Help whoever is weak, or don't help anyone at all, let us reap the benefits of fishing in the end!" Hank said more rationally.

I think Hank has always been a very conscientious captain. When he thinks about things, he often starts from the overall situation and rarely talks about personal feelings and emotions.The plan he gave is indeed the best plan.

"Jia, let's see how many numbers Lagertis left behind here. The matter seems to be urgent!" Helena stood beside the stone wall and greeted me.

It seems that almost everyone in our team has begun to worry about the safety of Lagertis and Darwin.And it seemed that the two of them were caught in a commotion among the goblins. I stood up, and Hank seemed to have something to say to me. After I patted him on the shoulder, I said to him: " If you're not in a hurry, let's talk about you later, and follow me to save people now..."

"Hey, I said..." Hank wanted to stop me again, but I waved my hand to signal him to follow.

Continue to walk along the mine road. Along the way, there are a large number of red-eyed goblins in a berserk state. They only wear simple cloth strips around their waists to hang their rusty knives. There are also a few wearing locks. A's goblin also dedicated his young and precious life.

A group of us continued to walk inside. Although there were lights on the walls, they couldn't shine too far.

I have heard the sound of fighting, and I followed those messy sounds, and walked deep into the cave...
