Lord Highlander

  Chapter 866 854. Poison killing

   Right in the middle of this vein, a young magician climbed out of a crack under a rocky cliff.

  He was holding a piece of magic red copper in his hand. Even though he got out from the crack of the stone, the sky was full of stars outside, and he was still very excited and said to the middle-aged magician waiting outside:

   "Teacher, look, what is this...?"

  The middle-aged magician was sitting on a chair, with a tent set up next to the rocky cliff behind him. He had just drank a cup of hot milk, and he happened to be a little sleepy at this time. Not long after his eyelids closed, he was startled by the assistant's shout.

  The magic book in his hand fell to the ground with a 'click'.

  The others stood up, glanced at the sky, snapped their fingers casually, and a twilight light floated above his head.

   "Copper!"

  The middle-aged magician took the piece of dark red metal in the assistant's hand and said in surprise.

  Then he quickly patted his assistant on the shoulder and said, "It must be very cold in the cracks below. Come and drink a cup of hot milk to keep warm. How big is the space under the cracks in the rocks?"

"Teacher, the gap below is also very narrow. There is no natural karst cave inside as you predicted. The interlayer rich in copper can be seen in the crack below, and some magic red copper has condensed near the stone wall." An assistant wiped his dirty face, and happily said to the middle-aged magician.

"That's it. I'm going to apply to buy the land here. I guess the magic union needs to clear it up!" The middle-aged magician said overjoyedly: "It can be seen that this is a copper mine with extremely rich reserves. Mineral veins, these magical red copper are the associated mines of this mineral vein, we are destined to make a fortune!"

The assistant's expression was also very excited. He took the hot milk handed over by the middle-aged magician, saw that there was still an empty cup that he had just drunk, and poured the hot milk into his stomach, and said, "Teacher, how close is this place?" Dan Town, do we want to say hello to the local nobles?"

"When I return to Wilkes City this time, let's take a look. I don't know what these country bumpkins will think if they know that there are copper veins here!" The muscles on the middle-aged magician's face jumped unconsciously, and he quickly used his hands He rubbed the skin on his face hard.

"I heard that the Luthor Legion is stationed here, and the beast tide here has just ended. These border towns have all made a fortune because of this beast tide." The assistant sat on the ground and began to take off the tight leather armor on his body. .

   "But they don't know that such a large wealth is hidden in a place so close..."

  The middle-aged magician smiled dryly.

"However... Teacher, this is not an area occupied by the empire. You should think about how to develop this place!" After finishing speaking, the assistant looked down at the imperial law book on the magic belt, and then said: "According to As usual, you need to wait for the lords to open up this forest, and then hand over 60% of the land to the Green Empire and Bena Province before you can buy this land."

  The middle-aged magician smiled casually and said:

   "We are already standing on this land now, didn't we develop this place?"

The middle-aged magician stared at the face of the young assistant, and said word by word: "Now this is a wasteland with nothing, and even those monsters have run away. I stand here, and the land here belongs to me now." ..."

  The magic assistant trembled all over, curled up, and fell between the rocks, looking at the middle-aged magician in pain:

   "Teacher... what's in your milk..."

  His eyes were full of despair, he probably knew the tragedy he was about to face.

   "I don't understand... Teacher, why did you give me that..."

  The magic assistant widened his eyes, looking at the middle-aged magician standing in front of him.

  He only felt a sharp pain in his cheek, and his face had been stepped on by the middle-aged magician with his leather boots.

"listen,

  You are just a little magic assistant,

  How can I get a 10% dry share share?

  You shouldn’t hold shares in such a copper vein…”

  The middle-aged magician bent down and whispered into the ear of the young assistant.

   "If it weren't for me...

  How do you know there are veins hidden here...

  I have been your assistant for three years...

   Shouldn’t you even take 10% of the money here? "

  The assistant's voice became weaker and weaker...

  He saw the middle-aged magician take out a shining dagger from his arms, a sharp pain gushed out of his chest, he felt blood gushing out of his chest, almost staining the magic robe red.

  Coldness, fainting, severe pain... came to his mind one after another.

   Then there was endless darkness, and he couldn't open his eyes at all.

The only feeling he had at the end was that someone was dragging his unconscious body down. When he fell, he could smell the cracks in the ground again. It was a pity that he didn't wear leather armor this time, and he was wearing climbing protective gear. He only felt that he was falling. Into the endless darkness...

  The middle-aged magician unhurriedly packed his bags, put some valuables into the magic pocket, and threw the two cups and the pot of hot milk into the crevice beside the stone.

   Didn’t take back the tent beside the rocky cliff either, and rode on the magic handle alone, and flew slowly southward along the treetops in the dark, before disappearing into the endless night.

  …

   Like a cheetah, Samira nimbly jumped onto the branch of a big tree, and the 'Sky Strike' was already in her hand at some point.

"What's wrong?"

   Seeing Samira's tense face, Suldak stood up from the campfire and asked suspiciously.

   "It's nothing... It seems that a mage flew over there just now, he glanced this way, and flew away again for some reason."

  Samila jumped down from the branch and walked towards the armed Thunder Rhinoceros.

   "It's so late, how could there be a magician flying over in the Invercargill Forest of Warcraft?"

  Suldak looked up at the dark night sky and said puzzledly.

   "Maybe he happened to be passing by, but he seemed to be flying south just now... His technique is not bad, he passed close to the top of the tree, otherwise I might not have seen it..."

  Samila stopped while talking, and looked at the distant night sky again.

   "He seems to be back again..."

   "He circles again..."

   "It seems a little hesitant..."

   "He's watching us..."

  Samira closed her mouth, pulled the hood on her head, and casually jumped onto a tree.

  Suldak's mouth opened into an 'O' shape, and he found that this night didn't seem so dark for a Windrunner who passed the second turn.

   Just when he was a little distracted,

  A magician in a black robe rode a magic handle and slipped down beside the bonfire in the camp without making a sound.

  He wore a magician's cone hat on his head, his beard was trimmed short and neatly, and his eyes had sapphire brilliance.

  Jumped off from the handle of the magic chrysanthemum, without even comprehending the movement of the handle of the magic chute, the magic chrysanthemum floating in mid-air disappeared out of thin air...

  Suldak felt that he was definitely suspected of showing off his skills, at least Lance had never done so.

   On the last day of 2021, I spent it with the company of all of you. It is your support that gives me the motivation to persevere. Whether it is a monthly ticket or a recommended ticket, I am inexplicably proud. Thank you everyone.

   Let’s talk about this story. The story enters the third chapter. This book plans to write 6 major scenes, and there are almost 2 million words. The rhythm may be a bit procrastinated, and the number of words should be more.

   I am really satisfied with my recent achievements, and every bit of it is inseparable from everyone.

   In the new year, I hope you all have a good start, and then go all the way to make 2022 even more exciting.

   Let's stop here!

happy New Year!
