Ryan's idea was not wrong. They just searched around here and found a row of warehouses built entirely with huge stones not far away. Of course, due to the image of Ryan's super forbidden spell, these houses had already been It collapsed, but precisely because they were piled up with stones, it was easier to clean up even if they became ruins. So Ryan recited magic spells casually, summoned dozens of earth giant elements, and commanded them to clear this place. Cleaned up,
After the stone covering the ruins was removed, the goods stored below were immediately revealed, which was a large piece of silver-blue metal ingots. This was the first time Ryan had seen metal of this color, so he was very curious. He walked forward, intending to pick up a piece and take a closer look. Unexpectedly, the weight of the metal ingot was heavier than Ryan expected. He didn't even pick it up.
"It's so heavy." Faras saw Ryan's movements and couldn't help but ask, "Yeah." Ryan agreed, and he casually blessed himself with a "Wild Bull Power" magic. It was effortless when she bent down to pick it up. When Faras saw Ryan holding a one-foot-square silver-blue metal ingot in his hand, she walked over and stood side by side with him. The two of them looked at the earth giant elements carefully together. Because he lost control, he just stood there dumbly.
Ryan repeatedly checked the metal ingot in his hand. After a long time, he said in a hesitant tone: "I think this should be star iron, but I have only seen extremely rare introductions from the information provided by the underground dwarf Milo. , I remember that this kind of golden book does not exist in our continent of Eslar. It is only produced in small quantities in other worlds. But I didn’t expect it to be heavier than I imagined. Good guy, such a piece is at least more than the previous one. One hundred kilograms.”
"Hundreds of kilograms." Faras was also very surprised when she heard this. She remembered that among the most precious metals in the Eslar continent, mithril has extremely good pro-magic properties and is most suitable for making magic items. It is not only strong and strong, but also It is very light, but fine gold is just the opposite. It is harder and stronger than mithril, but the weight is naturally much heavier. Such a one-foot-square volume would only weigh several kilograms if it were made of steel, but if it were made of fine gold, it would be much heavier. It has steadily exceeded ten kilograms, but now Ryan actually said that the silver-blue star iron ingot in front of him actually exceeds one hundred kilograms. Could it be that its hardness is also several times that of fine gold
Seeing his wife's puzzled expression as she looked at the metal ingot in her hand, Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not very familiar with it either. Come and try it and you will know." After saying this, Ryan put the star in his hand away. The iron ingot was thrown out. When the metal ingot rolled in the air, Ryan's fingers spurted out a ball of flames, swallowing the entire star iron ingot.
If it were to deal with ordinary steel, with the power of Ryan's fire magic, it would only take a few seconds to turn them into a pool of molten iron. However, the star iron ingot drew an arc in the air, not only breaking away from the flames The package made a crisp sound when it fell to the ground next to it, which shows that the high temperature of the flames just now did not have any impact on the star iron ingot at all.
Looking at the star iron ingot lying completely on the ground, Ryan released more flames to burn it with great interest. However, even after burning it for several minutes, the entire silver-blue star iron ingot was still burning. The surface still hasn't changed much, it just looks a little softer. It's still early to completely melt. Seeing this, Farasi also raised his hand and released a few ice picks. This sharp spell is enough to penetrate Ordinary full-body armor, but when they collided with the star iron ingot, they failed to leave any trace on it. This shows the hardness of the star iron.
"It's incredible." Faras couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that there would be such hard metal in the other world. If it is used to make armor, even mithril and adamantine weapons will be difficult to break. Turn on its protection.”
"I guess the output of this thing will not be too high. We have all heard that dark elves are best at making mithril weapons and armor. When have you ever heard of star iron armor and shields? This shows that Even within the dark elves, the application scope of this metal is not very large, otherwise the name of Star Iron would have been spread out long ago." Ryan shook his head and answered Faras,
"Well, that makes sense." Faras nodded, agreeing with Ryan's statement, and then she moved her gaze to the cleared ruins. There were hundreds of pieces in the warehouse that also emitted a silver-blue halo. The metal ingots were scattered everywhere. Faras smiled and said to Ryan: "Anyway, we have done everything we should do, and this is not bad, right."
"That's right. Now that we have encountered each other, there is no reason to let it go easily." Ryan took out the storage bag from his arms with a smile, then snapped his fingers and began to control the earth giant standing beside him to walk by. It didn’t take long to move these star iron ingots. All these star iron ingots were moved to the open space outside, and then they were all put into his storage pocket by Ryan, who was blessed with the "Power of the Barbarian Bull".
After confirming that there were no more star iron ingots left around, Ryan put away the storage pocket in his hand with satisfaction. The two hundred or so star iron ingots weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. If it weren't for the high quality of Ryan's storage pocket , I am afraid that these ingots will not be loaded at all. Of course, Ryan does not know that he has taken away almost a year's output of the Proca City Star Iron Mine this time. This kind of ore is extremely difficult to smelt, and the content of the ore is also It is extremely low, so Martinoy Magic Academy regularly dispatches the Grand Magister to take charge of these matters in person. This academy and even the city of Proca only appeared after the star iron vein was discovered here. of,
As for several other warehouses, Ryan also found the slag left after smelting. Although the content of star iron in them is very, very low, it is still a very good raw material for making weapons and protective armor. Of course, with Ryan and the others My eyesight is not strong enough to notice such scraps, so I just let them lie where they are.
After leaving the warehouse here, Ryan and Faras planned to continue searching nearby. After all, although they got a windfall, their original purpose was not realized. However, Ryan soon noticed a large number of soldiers in the distance. He was quickly approaching the area where he was, so he waved his hand and drew a magic circle in the air in front of him.
When the magic circle was completed, a relatively clear picture appeared in the center of the magic circle. About a few kilometers away, a heavily armed dark elf army was rushing towards the direction of the Star Iron Mine at full speed. Come, this discovery refreshed Ryan's spirits. He simply gave up the idea of continuing to search here, and instead took Faras and flew towards the dark elf army, which numbered about 500 people.
Since star iron is harder than fine gold, and its affinity for demons is no less than that of mithril, then there must be a large number of dark elf troops closely guarding such an important mine. Due to the star under the ground, The iron mine has collapsed on a large scale, so Ryan is unable to determine the exact coverage of the mine. However, there must be at least a few kilometers of buffer space. In other words, even if there is an army stationed, it must be at least ten kilometers away. Otherwise, the mine tunnels here will become tunnels for the miners to escape.
It will take some time for the catastrophe that broke out from the center of Proka City to sweep into this star iron mine cave. Under that strong impact, the surrounding Dark Elf blockade will definitely suffer certain losses. As for chaos, it will definitely be inevitable. Yes, but now these guards should have almost restored their original order, so it makes sense to send people over quickly.
Ryan doesn't think that the dark elf leader who is responsible for guarding here knows too much, but it is enough for Ryan to know where he is now and the route from Proka City to the small town of Yarich. The information can be collected slowly on the road, and how could a senior general in the army not know this kind of information that is not too accurate, so Ryan set his sights on the person he had not yet met. On the leader of the dark elves,
One side was marching in a hurry, and the other side simply flew directly from the air. The two sides walked opposite each other. Three or five kilometers did not take a few minutes. Ryan and Faras soon saw the hundreds of dark elf warriors on the ground, and the latter The captain also saw two humans flying straight towards him from the sky. He without hesitation activated the enemy attack alarm.
These dark elf warriors were indeed the elite among the elite. After receiving the order to attack, they actually took out handfuls of crossbow arrows while running at full speed and began to attack Ryan and Farasi flying in the sky. Five hundred of them The warriors had five hundred crossbows, and when they fired several times in a row, they immediately formed a hail of arrows, directly blocking the location of Ryan and the others and any possible escape directions.
Of course, Ryan would not be affected by this attack. He waved his sleeve casually, and the surrounding air immediately burned. The flying arrows were quickly ignited after contacting the flames in the air, and then dragged a long The flame tail fell towards the ground. Every burning arrow falling to the ground would form a small flame. After these waves of arrow rain were all bounced back by Ryan's magic, the ground had turned into a sheet of flames. sea of fire,
"Leave two alive." Farasi couldn't help but speak: "It will also save us the trouble of slowly looking for their camp."
