My Magic Age

The goblins living in caves have had to hide in the dark and lightless underground world over the years because of divine punishment. It is even difficult for them to come to the surface in their lifetime. Various resources in the underground world are very scarce. But the only thing that is not lacking is various minerals. This group of goblins has been living in this floating mountain in the turbulence of time and space for hundreds of years. During these long years, the goblins have been digging continuously in this floating broken mountain, and have even destroyed the entire mountain. Digging through the mountains, they not only stored a large amount of copper ore, but also harvested many associated resources, such as magic copper, malachite, etc.

The curse of the gods carried by the goblins constantly made the goblins forget their own inheritance. They first forgot how to use magic, then they forgot the technology developed by countless ancestors, and finally they even forgot the goblin writing. Now they even forget Unable to preserve the language of their own race. Today's younger generation of goblins can no longer tell the difference between red copper and copper. For these goblins, these coppers can only be used to make chain armor.

Many goblins are very eager to see the world on the ground, but due to those curses, the skin of the goblins will spontaneously ignite under direct light, until the entire body turns into black charcoal ash.

The nights in Xinliu Valley are very short, and even the lynxes in the dense forest can dare to hunt goblins, let alone those saber-toothed tigers. This makes them never dare to come out of the mine. The food of goblins is very simple. They usually eat the roots of plants, which is very monotonous. It is generally difficult for them to eat meat. They will even dig for it occasionally. They found some earthworms and insect tunnels and started fighting.

The food brought by our two expedition groups is the most difficult temptation for the goblins to resist.

In this hundred-mile-long floating broken mountain, there must be a piece of copper mother. Copper mother is the source material of copper element. It can continuously form copper element. This copper mine vein has extremely high yield. rich. Human scholars have different opinions on the explanation of the Bronze Mother. There are many opinions on the existence value of the Bronze Mother, but few people can describe the appearance of the Bronze Mother.

The first theory is that some human magic scholars say that mother copper is the original material of copper. It is precisely because of its existence that the metal element copper exists in the world. They say that the copper mother should be at the very center of the mountain ore vein, accumulating copper in the mountain rocks day and night. It should also be a stone that looks like a copper mine.

The second theory was put forward by some inscription masters. They proposed that copper mother is not a substance, but a naturally formed magic pattern array. The centers of those veins are natural arrays, which are unique magic patterns. The formation created metal like copper, but this formation was very fragile and difficult to repair once damaged.

This view is based on the fact that some magic scholars destroyed the core of the mineral vein in order to find a piece of copper mother that can breed copper. However, after several excavations, not only did they not find the legendary copper mother, but also the core of the mineral vein The excavated copper mines have turned into waste mines and can no longer produce copper mines. This fact makes it impossible for some scholars to refute the inscriptions' inferences.

In the Green Empire, every mineral vein is an extremely precious wealth. These mineral veins are usually in the hands of some great nobles. Few nobles are willing to let magic scholars use their mineral veins for academic research. Once the mineral veins are damaged, then The damage caused will be difficult to estimate.

After the goblins in the village dug out almost all the red copper they owned, we brought a lot of saber-toothed tiger meat in exchange for it. However, as for the rarer malachite, they only kept a piece of it in Rita's hands. No one has ever obtained such a precious gem. For this reason, our two teams stayed in this cave for another half day.

Looking at the chaotic market in front of the camp, I sat on a big rock and thought wildly. I thought of the bet made by the team leader, Mr. Flanders. As long as we can bring enough resources to Xinliu Valley, then there will be May win this bet.

Now we unexpectedly met the goblin tribe underground, and inexplicably exchanged a lot of magic metal with them, which gave us a lot of harvest, but this is far from enough for Teacher Flanders to gain a decisive advantage. I heard that the old goblin Tell us that there are other goblin tribes in other caves in this mountain. If we can collect all the magic metals collected by all the goblin tribes in the mountain and bring them back to Sloit, maybe Teacher Flender can really be saved. win.

For those teams that are collecting magic herbs in the jungle outside and are not capable of hunting Warcraft materials, we can actually return to the ground, buy some game from them, and then bring it into the mines to trade with these goblins. Maybe a trading market can be formed here. , but there is no more magic metal in this village, and other goblin tribes must also know the news, about using magic ore and magic metal in exchange for food.

In this way, perhaps collecting magic materials will become less strenuous.

I told Hank this preliminary idea, and he patted his head and kept saying: "Why didn't I think of this? You tell me why I didn't think of it. Jijia, if you want me to say, still You magic apprentices have good brains, otherwise they would become magic apprentices, right? Haha, this is such a great idea, let’s do it this way!”

I asked the young goblin to find the old goblin, who was the head of the village. The old goblin had mixed feelings about our invitation. He rushed over from the village tremblingly and saw the goblins waiting in front of the tent with stones on their backs. They shook their heads and sighed. When it saw me, it looked at me deeply, and then said to me: "I know...your...thoughts!"

The old goblin may be the last goblin with rudimentary wisdom in this village. He understands what I want, but he cannot refuse.

Finally, it agreed to my request, and it sent some smart goblins to spread the news to every corner of the cave that they could exchange red copper for fresh meat and wheat cakes, and the price we had to pay was Yes: Pay taxes.

Every transaction we make here requires a little tax to be paid to the old goblin's village. The so-called tax can also be called 'food for the goblins'. We have agreed that we will return here in three days after exploring the ancient civilization ruins and the Devil's Spring that the goblins said, so that we can trade with the goblins who came from other caves.

Afterwards, we said goodbye to the old goblin and headed deeper into the cave. Under the leadership of the young goblin, we left the cave. We held the slightly fluorescent moonstone and walked through this cave full of strange landscapes.

...beautiful dividing line...

Traveling through the cave is much more difficult than you might imagine. There is no ventilation at all in the caves in many places, and the air inside the caves is filthy. I was even worried that we would die from lack of oxygen after walking halfway through the journey. But fortunately, there were only a few sections where the air was not very circulated. Most of the places are pretty good.

Fortunately, Teresa can already control the rock golem. This big guy has its own simple thoughts. After signing the contract, as long as Theresa figures out how to communicate with it, this big guy is still very reliable and it will be uncompromising. Carry out Teresa's orders. Halfway through the journey, Cong Yingli and Teresa felt a little tired, so the two of them sat on the shoulders of the rocky galleon, talking and laughing in low voices along the way. No matter who he is, Yingli can always find some topics easily.

After walking for almost a whole day, we saw some goblin villages one after another along the way. Without stopping for a moment, our group rushed directly to the ancient civilization site. The result was far beyond our expectations. Civilization ruins are very different from what we thought. The entire civilization ruins are not ruins as I expected, but a dilapidated altar.

This altar of less than twenty square meters is located in a narrow cave passage. The entire altar is made of mica stone bricks. However, it is very weathered and the gaps between the stone bricks are covered with green moss. We walked up the stone steps to the altar and found nothing special. The magic runes originally engraved on the altar have been corroded to the point where nothing can be seen clearly.

I squatted down and gently groped for the tiny indentations on the stone slab, but the marks were too shallow. I wanted to imprint all the magic runes engraved on the entire altar. I didn't know how long it would take. I looked at this strangely. He looked at the caves that were obviously dug out everywhere, and then asked the young goblin: "Is this where those Goblin bandits found the Rock Golem?"

The young goblin looked at us all with serious expressions and stood in the corner timidly. After hearing my question, he shivered all over. He nodded first, then looked around in a panic, then immediately shook his head and said to me: "It's here, it's here. The last time I followed them secretly to get here, those goblins were all here." It’s gone, I don’t know, I don’t know what happened!”

In the golden sea of ​​spirit, a blurry photo emerged from the sea. I vaguely saw in my mind that the photo was a worn-out piece of parchment. The fragments of memory gradually became clear in my mind. , I saw a brief description of this kind of altar in the album of sheepskin scrolls that Old Kuru gave me. The orc shamans call this kind of altar: "Teleportation Circle!"

This is a teleportation circle that can pass through the turbulence of time and space. It seems that the other end of this teleportation circle should be connected to the ruins of ancient civilization.

But I don't have the key to open the magic circle, and I don't know how to open this magic circle. We looked for clues around the magic circle, but found nothing. Among the three magic apprentices Ying Li, Theresa and I, no one knew the space magic runes, so in the end I had to give up and choose to leave here.

Along the way, Hank has been constantly encouraging his team members. Their best regulator is to look for copper ore in the mine tunnel. Although most of the copper ore is buried deep in the cave wall, follow me It's not something that we college students can discover, but occasionally half a piece of red copper ore is revealed on the surface of the cave wall. We are hunting for treasure while we are on the road, so the members of Hank's team have no time to complain. After all, our plan to hunt for treasure at the altar is It was a futile effort.

The young goblin became much more cheerful on the way back.

It has an urgent desire to go home and always walks at the front of the team. For the hard work it has put in, I prepared a piece of fresh meat for it. It is not too much, but it is enough for him to eat deliciously. It was a meal, but I never thought that it would just put it to its nose and smell it with great enjoyment, then tear off a piece of the only shabby linen clothes on its body, and cut off this small piece of meat. Wrap it carefully and carry it in your arms.

I asked it: "Why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?"

It shook its head at me, and then said sadly: "There are younger brothers at home. They are too thin. Several of them died of illness because they were too thin. Eating meat can make the body strong."

Then, the young goblin asked me nervously: "Can I take this piece of meat back?"

"It's yours, you can do whatever you want with it." I said to the young goblin.

We kept chatting on the road. The young goblin spoke Imperial language very poorly. Sometimes, when he was anxious, he would say a few words of the goblin language. The strange tone was very strange, the speed was very fast and light, and the voice was very sharp. When passing a dark cave, the young goblin carefully glanced inside, immediately jumped away, and moved away from the cave as fast as possible.

I curiously asked the reason. At first, it refused to say it, but later it was pestered by me and had no choice but to tell the truth.

It turned out that the entrance to the cave was the entrance of the cave where some goblins were looking for demon blood in order to pursue power. I heard that there is not only demon blood in this cave, but also creatures from the underworld. They will crawl out from time to time and hunt some goblins in the cave, but as long as they are full, they will immediately crawl back into the cave.

I asked: "So, the goblins who go in to look for demon blood are not afraid of being eaten by those hell creatures?"

The young goblin shook his head and said: "They are afraid too, but they will bring sacrifices with them, otherwise they will not be able to drink demon blood even if they lose their lives."

"Sacrifice?" I asked, I didn't understand what it said.

"The sacrifice is us!" The young goblin added. "The strong goblins will catch some weak goblins and bring them."

I really want to see what is inside the strange cave. My strong curiosity has been playing tricks on me, asking me to take a look. But I finally held back, after all, there is a dangerous place with hell creatures. I don't know what the demon blood the goblins are talking about, maybe the library in the college has the answer to this.

I didn't look away until I could no longer see the dark cave.

Ying Li sat on the rocky hill, and his smiling face and youthful expression made me feel relieved.

I was thinking: Maybe I am not a real adventurer yet. An explorer with an adventurous spirit would definitely go down and find the real answer in person, fearless of life and death!
