Don't need to ask Dane, the situation at the entrance of the underground world has always been the most important thing for the people on the entire island of Comilla.
In fact, when Dane finished testing his own strength and returned to his own palace on the Eternal Tree, the Saco knight who was in charge of guarding the entrance of the cave had already sent a message.
The Faceless Men have stopped attacking, and when they followed up with the inward investigation, they found a large number of Faceless Men's corpses, and these corpses were still vaporizing at a relatively fast speed. Occasionally, you can see a few faceless men who are still alive, but those faceless men who are alive have become extremely weak. It is estimated that the most ordinary warrior can easily kill a whole team of faceless monsters.
Good things happen.
Dane has been peeking at the underground world for a long time, and what he values the most are those black crystals.
In the beginning, after discovering Sombra, he could only rely on robbery to do things in the underground world. At that time, the power in his hands was relatively limited, so he could only carefully get a small amount of black crystals, for fear of being discovered, and then transport them to the surface to purify them before selling them.
Later, after the resource-based buildings appeared in the system base, he didn't have to do that kind of sneaky thing. A black crystal mining mine that was directly established on Comilla Island.
However, although the quality of the existing black crystal veins in Comilla is not bad, the difficulty of mining is not small. Although the system building has solved a lot of troubles, the output has not been able to increase.
And there is no doubt that in this underground world, there will inevitably be black crystal veins with huge reserves and easy mining!
The result of Knight Saco organizing people to investigate the underground world many times also supports Dane's long-standing conjecture. However, due to the existence of a large number of faceless people at the beginning, there was no way to accurately confirm the location of the ore veins, and there was no way to evaluate the reserves and quality.
But all this is no longer a problem now.
Dane decided that he would personally lead the team and go to the underground world again!
Moreover, before going to the underground world this time, he will also bring a person who can play an important role in the underground world—his mineral exploration master, Li Huoke!
At the beginning, after Li Huoke found a red copper vein around White Wolf Castle, he didn't stop there. He has been walking around in the territory, but there may really not be any valuable mineral veins in the White Wolf Castle.
However, when Schindler's all-out war ended and the scope of work of the master of exploration expanded, he discovered a lot of treasures in this country.
In particular, an iron ore vein found around Tiedinggang is quite valuable. If it is developed, it should not be difficult to produce 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins a month.
As for the others, he has also discovered some small mine veins, but the development value is not particularly high, and Dane is too lazy to organize manual digging by himself, so he simply sells them for personal favors and gives them to the Shire United Chamber of Commerce and the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce. , let them develop.
It can also pay off debts by the way.
Before coming, Li Huoke was originally under the protection of a squadron of soldiers, prospecting for mineral deposits in Arnold Territory, north of Tieding Hill. However, earlier, he was called back to White Wolf Castle by Dane.
The exploration expert was still a little unhappy. When he replied to Dane's order, he also said that his exploration operations in Arnold Territory had already had some eyebrows, and results would soon be forthcoming, and in order to protect him, he accompanied him. The soldiers of the army had fought many times with some demons roaming in Arnold Territory, and many of them were killed or injured. If there is nothing important, he hopes to get the work of Arnold collar done and come back.
Then, he received another message from Dane, saying that the underground world of Comilla was about to be wiped out, and when he was waiting for him to explore new mineral resources, he immediately set off from Arnold without saying a word—for his kind of exploration For experts, the temptation of an unexplored underground world is too great!
If there is any terrain in this world where it is easiest to find high-quality mineral veins, then only the underground world! Not to mention, according to the existing information, there must be quite high-quality black crystal veins underground in Comilla.
With such a temptation, of course Li Huoke would not be willing to waste any more time in Arnold!
…
On the tenth day after the purification ceremony was completed, Dane led a team and entered the underground world again.
Li Haoke, an exploration expert, became very excited the first time he entered the ground. After walking with Dane to the depths of the underground world for two days, he expressed that he would leave the team to investigate by himself.
Dane did not refuse his request, and directly separated a Templar squad, with a squad of Rangers, to protect his safety. Although, in the underground world, it is reasonable to say that after ten days of the purification ceremony, there should be no monsters that are still alive, but after all, it is better to be cautious about this kind of thing. Li Huoke doesn't have the ability to protect himself. If Dane encounters any danger in this underground world, Dane wants to find another exploration master, but it will not be so easy.
After Li Huoke left, Dane did not change his itinerary, and led the team to meander through the underground world for more than a week, and finally arrived at the destination—the dungeon of the Faceless Man.
Sacco had already been waiting at the entrance of the dungeon early.
"Thank you." Dane got off the Wolf Warrior, patted Shaco on the shoulder, and said, "How's the situation?"
Sacco said: "According to your order, we arrived at this underground city a week ago. I took more than 300 people and searched the city carefully, and found no special threat. Found traces of faceless men or other monsters. The priests and mages accompanying the army reported that there were still some dark forces in the dungeon, but these dark forces were slowly dissipating when they could not be replenished. .”
Dane nodded and said, "Then, in that case, this city already belongs to us?"
"Yes." Saco nodded, and continued: "The glory belongs to you, my lord, this dungeon is already yours."
"Okay." Dane nodded. "Your work has been successfully completed. Take a good rest. When we return to the surface, I will arrange more important responsibilities for you. You must be ready to meet new challenges."
Hearing Dane's words, Sacco's face was very happy, and he replied: "Yes! I will not let you down!"
After more than two years of persistence, he finally achieved his final goal. How could this not keep him from being ecstatic
Sacco took the order to rest, while Dane brought his own guards and planned to take a good look at the dungeon.
The dungeon of the Faceless has a completely different architectural style from any city Dane has ever seen. The city in the ground is an upside-down triangle. The city seems to be built from top to bottom. On the 'ceiling' of the underground world, a huge stalactite hangs down, and there are many buildings built by the Faceless along the surrounding area. On the ground, corresponding to the tip of the stalactite, there is an altar, and there are many buildings on the ground.
Whether it's the upside-down stalactites or the buildings on the ground, they are all full of the unique architectural style of the Faceless - in fact, there is no style, just ugly.
Although the layout of the city is rather peculiar, there is no doubt that this is an ugly city.
Dane wondered in his mind, what is the use of this city
Sacco's people found a large number of black crystals that have been mined but not yet used in this faceless city. These naturally become Dane's property, and the total value is estimated to be no less than half a million. Gold coins—Of course, these black crystals must be purified before they can be used.
But what else? What is the use of this city
To live in? It is estimated that no human or elf would be willing to come to the underground world and live in such a dilapidated house of the Faceless.
Moreover, it cannot be used to build a base.
According to the requirements for building a new base, the distance between the newly built system base and the old one cannot be less than 400 kilometers. And judging from the location, the place where the dungeon of the Faceless Man is located is almost exactly not far below Aurinadu.
This straight-line distance is far less than 400 kilometers.
It's a pity that Dane opened the "Dynasty Heart" system. He originally thought that it would be a good thing if he could build another base under Comilla. The dungeon forces belonging to dark elves, minotaurs, and troglodytes should be very suitable for building underground. As for the dwarf's furnace, there is no big problem if it is built underground.
However, the moment he opened the "Dynasty Heart" system, Dane suddenly discovered something that made his eyes straighten!
Except for the human sanctuary and the elf forest that have already been built, the bases of the other five races are actually in a state of 'buildable' at the moment!
"Huh?! How? Why can a dungeon be built here?"
Dane felt that this matter was very miraculous, which was beyond his imagination.
But being able to build is certainly a good thing.
He quickly put his doubts behind him, and suppressed the excitement of building a new base: he began to seriously consider which base he wanted to build in the underground world of Cormyrya
In front of him, there are only two more suitable options - the drow's dungeon, or the dwarf's furnace.
After thinking for a while, Dane decided that it would be better to build the dark elves' lair.
It is not a big problem for dwarves to live underground. The dwarves who also have dark vision are not very afraid of the dark. But after all, the most famous forging ability of the dwarf race is not so easy to display in this place.
Although the underground world has fairly rich mineral deposits, according to the information obtained so far, there is basically only a magical vein of black crystal. Although black crystal is also an excellent material for making some high-quality weapons and magic equipment, but forging this thing, not just one material can be eaten all over the world. In the underground world, it is not easy to transport raw materials in from the outside world.
First of all, he will transport the ore materials from the mine to Sandy Bay Port from Schindler, a place rich in mineral resources, and then take a boat from Sandy Bay Port to Comilla Island for a whole week. And transporting it from Ghost Knife Port to the underground world is another long process.
It takes a week for the army to travel from the entrance of the cave to the underground city, so how long will it take for the transport team to transport a large amount of heavy mineral resources? That is an unpredictable number! Moreover, the sparse terrain of the underground world is not suitable for large caravans to transport.
At that time, developing business routes, leveling the land, building roads... these things, I feel that my head is too big to think about.
In this way, it is better to build the Forge Castle elsewhere.
In fact, Dane has already thought of a good place to build the Dwarven Forge. Although that area is not yet his territory, Dane believes that he will be able to take it down one day—and this time should not be too late. would be too far.
Now that he had made up his mind, he didn't hesitate any longer.
Entering the Empire Tower, Dane clicked on the initial panel of "Dynasty Heart", and clicked on the dungeon base marked with the word 'buildable'.
"The existing town has been detected, which meets the construction requirements of the main dungeon building - Dark Hall, and can build a level 4 dungeon base. Will it be built?"
Dane raised his eyebrows, another windfall.
He originally thought that he would start developing a new dungeon base from the first level. But they never expected that this deserted dungeon could be recognized by the system, just like the White Wolf Fort is to the human sanctuary base, and become a basic building
This made him a little strange.
Fortunately, the White Wolf Fort was a human fortress before the temple base was built. It is not unimaginable that it can directly provide three building levels for the temple base.
But, why can such a goal be achieved in a dungeon where even the Faceless Ones have been purified? Moreover, the basic level provided is one level higher than that of the original White Wolf Fort!
After thinking about it, Dane thought of a reason: it may be because of the high-quality terrain factors, and the existing buildings left by the Faceless.
Shaking my head, all in all, it's a good thing.
He didn't think about it any more, and chose 'confirm build' directly.
Dane witnessed it with his own eyes, and even to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a miracle that he created twice with his own hands, and it happened again!
The purple soft light coming from nowhere suddenly gathers and covers the entire dungeon. The whole underground world seems to be trembling amidst rumblings!
In a blink of an eye, the same huge stalactites seemed to grow out of the ceiling above the underground world, and the huge stalactite surrounding the reason became an upside-down stone forest. A large number of purple crystals are generated near the super giant stalactites at the top of the dungeon!
However, this is only the beginning of great changes!

This chapter is not easy to disassemble, so I just put two in one.
There was originally a chapter on compensation, but I don’t have time to write it today. Go to bed later today and write more, and strive to make up the chapter that should be added while updating normally tomorrow.
In addition, if someone has doubts, I will explain that the wrong one is really a running group record, which I sorted out by myself. I only sorted out about five or six thousand words, and the rest are all recorded in the form of a log. I guess no one would want to read it...
