"We're all old friends, so I won't be polite. Come in quickly, it's dangerous outside." The old mayor said.
The team entered the town, everything was settled, and the caravan entered the town's civic hall, a large wooden house big enough to hold hundreds of people.
As people continued to enter, the oil lamps in the hall flickered, and several lamps near the door were blown out.
Su ye and several other mages released a levitating light, illuminating the public hall brightly.
Hulu sat helplessly outside the door.
I really can't get in.
The old mayor had a gray beard and a slightly hunched back, but he was very tall. On the warrior badge on his left chest was a huge silver-white bear.
"It turned out to be a silver warrior." Su ye stared at the badge and thought.
"We are old friends in Hongshan Town and Agala Trading Company, and I also like Haennas very much, although he always looks at the girls in our town randomly." The old mayor smiled slightly.
The people in the business and the town followed suit.
Hannas nodded politely, accepting the old mayor's praise frankly.
"I have selfishness and kindness. My kindness tells me that after we complete the transaction, I should ask you to leave immediately. But my selfishness tells me that Hongshan Town is willing to pay a high amount of ore to invite you to explore the underground of Hongshan. What happened. If there is real danger, we can either report it to the city-state, or hire someone to solve it, or the whole town should flee.” The old mayor looked helplessly at everyone present, and finally stared at Hannas.
Hahnnas smacked his lips and said: "Old mayor, if this is the territory of the Agala family, I will definitely send someone directly, but now you know my identity, I don't want to put the caravan in danger .Of course, if the majority of the caravan agrees, I will comply with their wishes."
The old mayor smiled slightly and said: "If you are willing to participate, all the gains in this process will belong to you. You should know that this devil mountain is a treasure land, and many precious and beautiful things have appeared, including the source of magic power. In addition, we are willing to offer this mine king as a reward."
As the old mayor said, he lifted off the big ore covered by the rags. It was as tall as half a person, and the main part was a light red stone. In the light red stone, there were faintly visible crimson gemstones, the size of pigeon eggs. , there are more than 30, and I don't know how many more in the depths.
Many people present showed curiosity, especially mages and ore-savvy people.
Su ye knew this crimson magic gemstone, called 'Red Flame Stone', which was an essential material for many fire magic weapons. For this kind of town or small noble, it is a great treasure, but in the eyes of a mage, it is just a relatively basic magic material.
The reason why there is not much interest is that the mining of this kind of red flame stone is too difficult. They are hidden deep in the red stone and are extremely hard. Even the magic of turning fossils into mud does not work. You need to use another piece of red stone to continuously knock Tap to mine slowly.
If it is hit with a huge force, the red flame stone will be broken and its value will be greatly reduced.
If the red flame stone mine is too poor, the lord will give up mining or sell it cheaply.
"This piece of red flame stone mine king, someone once offered 10,000 gold eagles, we did not agree. Because our valuation is around 20,000 gold eagles. Now we use this piece of red flame stone mine king as a reward, and hire you to find out what is under the Red Mountain. I don't know if you are willing to accept the question?"
Hannas looked at the rest of the silver and bronze warriors, everyone's eyes were brighter than usual.
This caravan ran back and forth between Ephesus and Milli, and the net income was less than 10,000 Golden Eagles, but it was already considered a profitable caravan, and the business houses accounted for the majority, so not many were distributed to everyone.
If this kind of additional entrustment is accepted, according to the usual practice, the firm will only take a symbolic 10% commission.
Su ye didn't care about the money, but wanted to meet the devil.
Wang Dachui's master-servant voice transmission rang in Suye's ears.
"Your Majesty, there is a gemstone in this ore, which is more precious. You know, in our era, magic gemstones were not named separately. I only know that it is a magic gemstone of the fire element." Wang Dahammer said.
Suye also used the master-servant voice transmission to ask, "Describe that gemstone in as much detail as possible."
"The shape is irregular. If the ordinary red flame stone is like a small flame, the magic gemstone is like a lake of flames, and it is full of violent breath, as if it is alive. Hmm... I remembered, this magic gemstone, It should be the blood or wreckage of a powerful fire monster."
Suye immediately understood, and secretly said to Wang Dahammer: "It seems that I will let you learn modern mineral knowledge in the future. This is the well-known 'Fire Dragon Gem', which generally refers to the gemstones condensed from the blood or wreckage of all high-level fire-type monsters. How big is this gem?"
"My thumb is half the size." Wang Dachui said secretly, raising his fist.
Such a large fire dragon gemstone, even if it is of ordinary quality, is around 10,000 golden eagles. If the quality is a little better, it may exceed 20,000 golden eagles, which is enough to become the main material of the sanctuary magic weapon.
"I can take it out secretly." Wang Dahammer said secretly.
Su Ye said indifferently: "It's not necessary."
Wang Dachui nodded.
Hannas looked at Su ye.
Su Ye said: "I can go with you, you know, I really want to meet the devil."
Hahnnas looked at the members of the caravan and said, "I won't force everyone to order, so everything follows the rules, and it is up to the silver and bronze ranks to raise their hands. Those who go raise their hands. If the majority go, then We will accept this entrustment. Of course, those who don’t want to go can stay here to guard, but they won’t get much benefit. Alright, vote with a show of hands now. I agree to go.”
Hannas raised his right hand.
People at the silver and iron ranks looked at each other, and most of them raised their right hands.
"Very well, now the team has decided to go. However, final preparations are still needed. Old mayor, do you have any requirements?" Hannas asked.
"At least the bronze level is required, because the two black irons in our town are gone forever. We were going to the city-state to find people, but we thought you were coming, so we were waiting for you. If you don't agree, we will go to the city-state Call for help."
"No wonder." Hannas whispered.
The Silver and Bronze ranks of the caravan began to discuss.
"Su Ya, are you sure to go?" Hannas asked.
"I'll go." Su ye said.
"You... think about it again." Tabetha frowned slightly.
"Aunt Taibeisha, I am sharpening myself, let alone with you here, what am I afraid of?" Su ye smiled.
"I don't want you to go, but if you must go, I will protect you." Aunt Tabesha said helplessly.
Everyone discussed for a while, and quickly decided that all four silvers would be sent out, and the caravan would send out a bronze magician and four bronze warriors, and Su ye's people would all follow.
The team quickly got ready, and under the leadership of a black iron townsman, they climbed over a hill more than 100 meters high and stood on the top of the hill.
"Look, it's there." The townsman pointed to the big black hole under the other side of the hill.
Su ye looked over, his heart skipped a beat.
Surrounded by the light red mountain peaks, an irregular black pit with a diameter of about 300 to 400 meters appeared, like a passage leading to hell. It was bottomless, as if hiding a terrifying monster.
Faint thick smoke floats over the deep pit, even if you are far away, you can still smell the pungent sulfur smell.
The silver mage sniffed lightly, with a solemn expression, and said, "This is indeed the breath of hell, I've smelled it before."
Suye looked at Wang Dachui, Wang Dachui shook his head, and then looked at Di Aotian.
Di Aotian nodded nonchalantly.
Finally, Su ye looked at Akedes.
Akedes nodded.
"It seems that there is a crack in the plane, Akedes, what do you think?" Suye asked.
Everyone looked at the strong man whose face was covered by hair and beard.
"The breath of hell is very weak, which means that the cracks in the plane are not big, and there will be no devils above the gold rank."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Even without Akedes, with the strength of this team, it is enough to defeat a single gold rank devil.
Silver Mage Cecil glanced at Hulu, and said to Su Ye: "Your giant follower may not be suitable for this kind of place."
"My bronze-level reduction technique can make him shrink a bit, and your silver-level reduction technique works better. If the passageway is always small, I can let him wait outside." Suye said.
"This is the best." Cecil nodded.
Everyone stood on the mountain, after a brief discussion, they said goodbye to the townspeople who led the way and walked towards the cave.
When they got closer, everyone told Hulu to stop.
The rest of the people slowly came to the edge of the big pit and poked their heads to look inside.
The wall of the pit went straight up and down, and the slope didn't slow down until it was thirty or forty meters deep. Most of the places below are pitch-black, some places glow with a dark red luster, and a deeper hole can be vaguely seen.
Cecil said: "I will use the gliding technique on you one by one, and you can fall down like feathers. But... Hulu can't go down, at least he needs the gliding technique of the golden mage to lift it. He used my gliding technique to go down If so, it’s no different from jumping directly.”
Su ye nodded and looked at Hulu.
Hulu carried the totem pole on his shoulders, and he was far away from the big pit and didn't dare to go through it, fearing that it would collapse, and now he feels even more wronged.
"The question is, how do we get up?" Hannas asked the key question.
Cecil said: "It's simple. At that time, I will use gliding, wind travel and climbing techniques for everyone, and they can climb up easily. You can see that the texture of this mountain wall is very hard, so there will be no problem. If the texture is soft, I can use fossils to make mud and mud to stone to make a ladder."
"That's good. It's just a pity for Gulu. Even if he can go down, climbing skills can't bear his weight."
"I can take him down," Akedes said.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Akedes in surprise.
"You don't think about it anymore? The totem pole can be brought over with my ring of large space, but his people..." Suye said.
"I'll go down with him first."
Under everyone's dull gaze, Akedes grabbed the totem pole with his right hand and Hulu with his left hand, and jumped directly into the dark pit, and then the two of them ran down the slope and rushed into a deeper pit.
