"Your Lord."

The two guards immediately took a battle stance, but when they saw the appearance of the comer, they immediately withdrew their weapons and said respectfully.

"Well, all right?" Lu Kuan looked around.

The dwarf immediately said, "All is well, Captain Ice Axe went to clear the nearby gopher people, and he should be back soon." ”

"Went before dawn?"

"Yes, those rat people have been a little dishonest in the past two days, and they were planning to kidnap our craftsmen yesterday, but they were discovered by the guards." The dwarven guard said in a gruff voice.

Lu Kuan nodded, signaling that he understood, and then walked towards the center of the clearing, and the guards returned to their respective posts, but soon a familiar petite figure followed, with long silver-white hair jumping lightly with the girl's running.

"Your Lord!" The wind elf girl couldn't hold back her excitement and said happily.

It was Mongo's servant, one of the Wind Elf sisters, who came.

"Well, I see you're in good shape,"

Lu Kuan turned his head to look at the cheerful girl, and said with a smile: "Meng Ge was still worried that you would suffer when you came over, and complained about me for a while. ”

Hearing this, Si Le'er shook her head, and her expression became serious: "During the days when we were trafficked, we have survived the hard days, what is this, besides, it is the most important thing to be able to share the worries of Sister Meng Ge and help the adults." ”

Sileer and Biller are both smart and intelligent, and they have been able to stand alone in just a few months with the slashing of government affairs, and perhaps because of their good relationship with Mongo, the two sisters' loyalty to Mongo has reached 99 early.

Therefore, when he thought that there was a lack of a civil official to manage daily affairs on the side of the mine, Lu Kuan asked Meng Ge and borrowed the relatively old Si Le'er among the two wind elves.

Yes, this is the Mithril Mine in the Creeping Jungle, which, like the Wood Throat Village Mine, is the top secret of Runeney.

The specific location of this place is not even very clear to Dai Guang and the others, so now all the NPC guards and craftsmen here are there, and there is not a single player.

There are very few tree pits in the clearing, and some of the overly large roots are simply left in the soil, as long as it does not affect the excavation of the intermediate mine - the Mithril mine here is at a deep level, and it is not like iron ore and copper ore to win by quantity, so there is no need to open an open-pit mine.

There are 50 guards stationed here, led by ice axes, escorting craftsmen over, in fact, most of the monsters were cleaned up by the army of the Golden King City, and the other side sent up to 200 hoplites over, with an average level of 45, which is simply a flat ride when fighting as a team in this area.

Lu Kuan's gaze turned to the south, and there was a faint sound of shouting and cheering there, which was the mining area of the Golden King City, and there was a super-large iron mine and a small gem mine that had been discovered so far.

For the current exploration results, the Golden Fire Great Lord of Wangcheng was very satisfied.

"How's it going?" Lu Kuan gestured to the south with his eyes.

Si Leer said: "Let's do it step by step, but the scale of the iron mine there is much larger than here, so the actual speed is not fast, and the approximate range is currently planned, and the pit has just been excavated." ”

"Heh~ As long as you find enough ore veins, there is an army in the royal city, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the hundreds of miles of trade routes here." Lu Kuan said with a smile.

The wind elf obviously had his own thoughts, and after a little hesitation, he said, "My lord, there is something I don't quite understand. ”

"Say." Lu Kuan looked at the other party and smiled.

"The army of the Golden King City is not only active on the trade routes, they are also constantly sending soldiers to the mines, if this continues, won't the mines on our side be exposed? Mistress Mongo has said that the best way to keep something safe is to keep it from anyone else, and you think so. ”

The Wind Elf girl had obviously thought about it for a long time, finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Lu Kuan suspiciously, waiting for her own great lord's answer.

Lu Kuan understood Si Le'er's worries, moved his mouth, and felt that he couldn't explain it.

Staying hidden forever may be possible in the magical world, but not in the game, because players are leveling up, and with flying pets and flying mounts, there are no secrets on the land surface.

"The enemy will always find out here, Mongo has Xiaoqing, and other adventurers will also have Xiaobai and Xiaohei,"

Lu Kuan thought for a while and explained: "So instead of hiding, it's better to make yourself stronger as soon as possible, so that even if someone sees it, he won't dare to come over." ”

The young wind elf nodded as if he didn't understand, frowning slightly in thought.

Lu Kuan didn't say much about this matter, looked around and asked, "Is the hoarded material enough?" ”

"At least twenty more days." Silk Le said quickly, and she could see that she had a clear grasp of the situation at the scene.

Because of the need to fully supply the construction of the teleportation array, the purchase of materials for the mine camp here had to be postponed, but fortunately, a lot of tools and stones were hoarded at the beginning and transported over, which was enough for this side to support for a period of time.

Lu Kuan took a brief look on the ground and entered the mine with the wind elves.

The frozen layer on the surface is very shallow, and further down is the moist and soft soil, which is softer than the soil on the other side of the village, and the roots below are entangled, and all kinds of insects and insect eggs are mixed up, and water seeps at every turn, so the excavation of the mine has to be very cautious.

Therefore, the mine road here must be dug one meter to reinforce one meter, and the water is constantly drained, which greatly increases the workload of the miners.

Fortunately, after going about ten meters underground, I encountered a rock layer, and the danger of collapse was basically gone, and the only problem was drainage.

"The mages are studying the terrain to see if they can set up a constant portal underwater to divert the water to other places." Si Le'er stepped on knee-deep water, not showing the slightest discomfort, and still dutifully introduced to Lu Kuan.

At this time, the water below had overflowed the mouth of the cave in the rock layer, and several dwarves looked at the water and sighed, standing at the water's edge and unable to do anything.

Not only were there bottomless puddles of mud underneath, but the top of their heads was also ticking and seeping, and after the two of them stood for less than a minute, the beautiful cotton clothes on Sile's body were almost soaked.

Lu Kuan frowned slightly, and when he saw Si Le'er shivering from being frozen in ice water, he turned around and left, dragging the wind elf girl's arm and quickly returning to the ground.

"Call the miner captain here and come over to me." Lu Kuan rushed to the guard at the entrance of the cave, and at the same time took out a spare large cotton cloak from his backpack and put it on Si Le'er, and walked back to the room quickly.

This is the residence of Sileer, the stove in the center of the room is burning, Sileer took off her coat, sat by the stove and shivered so hard that her lips were already frozen purple.

"Don't be angry, my lord,"

Si Le'er secretly looked at Lu Kuan's face, and saw that her lord had been frowning, and couldn't help but say, "Captain Amita and I will come up with a plan immediately, and we will definitely use the fastest speed to increase the speed of mine opening." ”

Lu Kuan was thinking about it, when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the timid appearance of the wind elf girl, he laughed: "If you continue to excavate in this situation, I'm afraid that the lives of the miners are in danger, don't worry, I have a solution." ”
