Arcane Lord

Continuing to travel eastward, there are almost no traces of civilization in the forest, leaving only the most primitive wilderness atmosphere.

However, Xia Duo and Niya still did not return, but continued to travel eastward. During this period, in addition to chatting, Niya also began to help Xia Duo explore the geological conditions in the forest.

"Do you think it is really possible to find mithril mines in the Green Pearl Forest?" Niya asked curiously.

"Who knows! I just want to give it a try. What I really want to confirm is not the mithril mine, but the weak point of the earth's veins!"

Sha Duo did not hide his true intentions. In fact, Niya needed to be informed of this kind of thing. If the drow did not progress smoothly in the underground war, it might not be impossible for them to bloom and break out of the surface.

Within the Daxia Territory and Savile Territory, not only the apprentices of the Tower of Time have undergone mission inspections, but also Sha Duo himself has personally explored many times and found no weak points in the earth veins.

However, the Daxia Territory and the Saville Territory only occupy a very small part of the vast area of ​​the southern forest. To say that there are absolutely no weak points in the ground, Xia Duo cannot believe it, even if he is lying to himself.

But there is no doubt that the exploration of this large area is not a simple task. It is not that it is difficult, but that the forest is dangerous. Unless human lives are used to fill it, only people who can truly walk freely in the forest can complete it safely. Task.

Such people are basically restricted to at least mid-level mages or above, or very experienced adventurers. Otherwise, ordinary people who enter the forest at will, let alone conduct geological exploration, will have to count their luck not to be picked up by wild beasts.

…

When it comes to the very likely real-life problem of drow, Niya couldn't help but feel a little worried, "If drow really appears in the south, can we handle it?"

"It's difficult. Even with the existence of the Tower of Time, it's hard for us to stop the almost crazy drow on our own."

Regarding the last battle of the drow's defeat from Cormanthor, Shado heard enough details from Iolum. At that time, the drow god of vengeance appeared in person. If it weren't for the elves' main god also descending with great power, maybe Co Manso is no more.

But even so, the battle between the two sides also led to the complete destruction of the underground passage in the Dragon's Back Mountains, and Cormanthor also killed several high mages.

It can be said that Cormanthor put in all his strength in that battle. At least on the surface, under the command of King Mian, all the upper-ranking families would invest their own efforts.

Coupled with the main elf god, this is just a miserable victory. If it were in the southern region, it would be difficult to even resist.

But thankfully, even if the underground passage in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range is destroyed, it is still a weak point in the ground and the passage can be reopened.

In this case, perhaps in the eyes of drow, there will be more attractive than the southern border.

Of course, it's definitely not possible to just be so passive or lucky. The only way to completely eliminate hidden dangers is to make yourself stronger as soon as possible.

When it is difficult to make major breakthroughs in individual strength, the only way to find it is in the Mysel Energy Core.

At the same time, prevention in advance cannot be ignored. Just like what Sha Duo is doing now, although it may not have much effect on resisting the drow, it can at least be done in advance so that the side has time to arrange a strategic retreat.

"Have you found anything?" Sha Duo asked Niya.

"not yet."

"That's good!"

…

After all, human beings are group social creatures. Although there are places worth exploring in the primeval forest, this kind of place without any traces of civilization is not suitable for long-term human activities.

Even if it was just a short hike, Xia Duo gradually felt a little bored. Although he could still find some novel foods on the way, these were no longer enough to impress him.

Not only him, but Niya is also focusing more and more on geological exploration instead of the forest itself. This may be stimulated by the drow crisis, but it is more because of the attraction of these original forest landscapes to the two of them. not enough.

\\b"Xia Duo, I made a discovery!"

"What?!"

Suddenly hearing Niya's exclamation, Sha Duo's heart suddenly lifted. He was afraid that Niya would say that he had found a weak point in the earth's veins, so he quickly asked:

"What did you find? Is it a weak spot in the earth's veins?"

"No matter how weak the earth's veins are, I think I found a mithril mine!"

Niya seemed a little unsure about paying attention, but her voice still raised involuntarily, and she pointed to the southeast and said to Xia Duo: "It's right there, about three miles away!"

After hearing the specific direction, Xia Duo quickly projected the sensing field over, and used the sensing field to cast the [Infrasound Detection] spell targeting the underground of this area.

In an instant, an unusually familiar feeling emerged!

Shado compiled the echo feedback data of mithril veins in [Projection Plane·Empire Remains], and even summarized the possible feedback characteristic model of mithril veins.

Although the feedback from this detection was different from the echo feedback data from the mithril mine he detected in Leisen Territory, it fell firmly within the feedback characteristic model.

This discovery made Xia Duo feel happy. Even if he could not find the mithril vein, if he could improve the model, it would be considered as a contribution to the next successful discovery!

"Come on, let's go over and take a look!"

With that said, Xia Duo urged Abel to take off, and Niya also directed Pamela to follow. The two Pegasus were not flying at the same speed. Even if they were carrying people, the two or three miles would only take a few minutes.

…

But when he actually arrived at his destination, Xia Duo hesitated a little when he looked at the trees below that were no different from those in other areas of the forest.

It's not that there will be any strange phenomena around the mithril mine, but as a lord with a huge demand for mithril, he will always be a little hesitant when facing a suspected mithril mine.

"I'll go take a look below, and you can help me keep a lookout from above."

"good."

After hearing Niya's promise, Sha Duo quickly cleared away his distracting thoughts and directly used his bloodline ability to transform into gas that floated downwards, touched the ground and quickly merged into it.

However, this is not a bloodline ability, but the [Stone Travel Technique] derived from the drow. Of course, Xia Duo prefers to call it [Earth Escape Technique].

Going all the way down from the surface, following the previous [Infrasound Detection] instructions, Xia Duo soon arrived at an area less than ten meters underground.

Further down here, the soil begins to gradually turn into rock, like an immature mountain that has not grown above the surface.

[Stone Walking Technique] It didn’t matter whether the area he walked through was mud or stone. Xia Duo continued down, about two meters, and then used his personal space to collect some stone samples.

…

Back on the ground, before Xia Duo could speak, Niya took the initiative and said, "We have already explored this far, let's go back today!"

Of course Shado knew that Niya ended the excursion early because of the suspected mithril mine, and he was also very interested in the result, so he followed Niya's words:

"okay."
