On the 7th day of the end of the Red Fortress Defense, 30 miles west of the Red Fortress, the interior of a canyon was originally .........

"It's a lot cooler here than outside." Although it is now 1 o'clock in the afternoon, it is the hottest time of the day, but because the three sunset people are walking in the lowest part of the canyon, the sun in the sky cannot shine here, so these 3 people who do not set the sun not only do not feel people, but feel that there are gusts of cold wind blowing towards themselves, and because the surrounding environment is a little dim, As a result, the three Sunrise Men had to light the torches that were prepared for the night before 10 noon in the middle of the day.

"But it's so cold, it's so cold that my bones hurt." Among the three people, a young man with three miner's hoes on his back complained to the middle-aged man beside him: "Bauer, why don't you give me and my teacher some combat tools until now, like iron swords or maces, aren't you afraid that those kobolds will ambush us?" ”

Regarding the young man's complaints, the middle-aged man named Bauer, who was holding a torch in his hand, wearing steel inlaid leather armor, a steel knight's sword and two maces at his waist, and carrying various wilderness survival tools, such as black bread, fire folds, and spare torches, seemed to be accustomed to the young man's complaints, so he looked around and replied to the young man next to him in a light tone: "Durant, I have already said before, I will not let you and your teacher equip weapons until the enemy is discovered, Even if you're an apprentice miner and can play a good miner's hoe, that doesn't mean you're going to use a mace, as you just yesterday threw the mace I gave you and hit the horses that weren't yet reined, so we had to get here on foot. If I trust you to hand over the weapon to you now, I guess it won't be the horse but me who will be smashed away. ”

"Cut! If you don't give it, you won't give it, I'm not rare, Lao Tzu wielded these two miners' hoes in his hand, maybe they can beat the dog's head better than you............" The young man's words were not finished, 3 was the only person who was 50 years old among the people who did not set sun, and the only one who did not carry a weight on his body, and the last thing on his body was only the compass in his hand, so the old man interrupted Bauer's words: "Bauer, my student, hand me the smallest miner's hoe, and there may be what we want under this rock formation." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, Ball, who was still arguing with Durant before, immediately shut up, and then took out a miner's hoe from behind him and handed it to the old man who taught his own mine survey, that is, his own teacher, and asked respectfully: "Teacher, will there really be a vein here?" You must know that this is a waste mine! ”

As Bauer said, the mountain range where the three Sunrise People are located is not an ordinary canyon, but a canyon with traces of mining, as long as you are careful, you can find many decayed wood chips around the canyon that have not seen their original appearance, plus the three Sunset People did not find any traces of fighting in the surrounding area after they came in, so in general, this canyon can indeed be regarded as a waste mine.

"Maybe it's just a relic mine?" In response to the doubts raised by his students, the old man replied with a slight smile, and the movements of the old man's hands slowed down in the slightest, but after a while, the old man easily used his calloused right hand to remove a few broken stones in front of him, and found a black-gray stone with some silver from behind: "Look, I'm right, the canyon here may just be a mine that has just been built and abandoned, otherwise I would not have been able to dig out tin ore in such a superficial place......... Wait, this, this is tin ore? ”

The old man's eyes, which had been narrowed, suddenly opened to the maximum, and under the puzzled gaze of the other two people who never set the sun, he put his eyes close to this tin ore, as if to find something in this tin ore, and God obviously favored the old man, and after stroking the tin ore in his hand a few times, he found a silvery-white light in it. The old man immediately threw down the ore in his hand, picked up the small miner's hoe that he had thrown aside before, and used the miner's hoe in his hand to knock the tin ore on the ground under the gaze of Ball and Durant.

"Squeak ......." is the most old man who has changed from an old miner to a mineral surveyor, he obviously has a good grasp of the force of hitting the surface of the ore, when the old man took back the miner's hoe, the original tin ore surface has been covered with spider web-like cracks, but the old man stretched out his hand and gently clicked the miner's hoe head to hit the center, those tin ore that had become fragments immediately fell off, and revealed a piece of ore with a rough surface, but shining silvery-white, the size of a pigeon's egg.

"This, this......... Rough diamonds! And it's so big! O my God! Bauer, who had learned some mineral knowledge, couldn't help but scream immediately after seeing the silvery-white ore that accompanied the tin ore, and his mind gradually sounded his previous teacher, that is, the old man in front of him, who had said to himself before setting off with him: The companion stone of tin ore is often diamonds, and because diamonds are often associated with tin ore, diamonds can be used as a sign to find tin ore, and in the same way, tin ore can also be called a sign of finding ore.

Secretly suppressed the excitement in their hearts, after the three of them nodded to each other, Durant immediately took out a small pocket made of animal skin from his waist, and put the diamond into it, and Ball and the old man relied on their own intuition, and began to beat it with the miner's hoe in their hands on the surrounding rock walls, and it didn't take long for more than ten pieces of broken tin ore to appear in front of the three people, and there were 1 or 2 rough diamonds of different sizes inside these tin ores, and it can be found from the traces left on the surrounding rock walls, These tin ores are present with the surface.

"Durant, put away these tin ore fragments and rough diamonds, we are going back now, and tell the three generals the news that this canyon has an amazing amount of diamond and tin ore storage! No, it should be reported to our great Emperor Sun Lin, who will definitely be ecstatic at the news here! ”
