Chapter 121 Dark Gold Mine, Harvest Summary [Please subscribe]
The value of Dark Gold in Naroa Continent is self-evident.
The face value of a small dark gold coin can reach a single face value ranging from 1,000 to 1,239 crowns.
Magic or rune weapons made of dark gold can even have indestructible properties.
It can make the weapon have a [sharpness] effect, making it perfect for cutting and slashing.
Moreover, the mining of dark gold is simpler than that of magic tears, and there is no need to prepare too complicated preservation measures.
Owning a dark gold mine in the Naroa continent is equivalent to possessing a huge amount of wealth.
Its mining cost is not high, but what is more important is the circulation process after refining and private casting.
Metal currency relies on the value of specific materials, so Naroya's currency does not have a strict anti-counterfeiting mechanism.
There are private foundries almost everywhere.
But if you want to circulate it in large quantities, you need a certain amount of personal connections.
Market consumption can only solve part of the circulation problem, and the best way is to launder it through currency exchange banks.
It’s not that you can’t spend money, but it can easily arouse unnecessary suspicion.
After all, the dark gold coins obtained from mining and casting are different from the profits earned from commercial trade.
If you want to take action in large numbers and safely, there are still many ways to consider.
This can be regarded as a different world version of washing operations.
But no matter what, Ansetus can be considered as having a mine at home.
From the current point of view, his dark gold mine is also related to the red-haired Walton family.
Both parties should be in a state of long-term cooperation.
Ophelia's stepmother Ursula is not an insider.
On the contrary, she coveted the business of Dark Gold Mine and tried to replace it.
As for the biological mother of the half-elf eldest lady, Chen Xuan was not sure.
He estimated that it was probably related to the dark gold mine.
Putting down the leather map in his hand, Chen Xuan showed a thoughtful look.
The locations marked on this map may not be accurate. It was just a preliminary investigation by the mine dwarf, the
leader of Maul Greenleaf, based on experience and geographical information. Speculations like this are groundless duckweed. It is an operation that sees the results first and then reverses the process. In fact, if you can rely on simple geographical information, you can analyze the location of the dark gold mine. I'm afraid Ansetus simply won't be able to mine safely for nearly ten Naroa years. Converted into blue star units, this is nearly twenty years. Enough for a baby to grow into a young man. To be able to hide it so well, in addition to good confidentiality work, the location of the Dark Gold Mine itself is also very important. In addition, Chen Xuan also believed that this dark gold mine must be hidden somewhere around Magtan City. With the existence of a contract, it is not difficult to win over a group of loyal miners or slaves. Thinking of this, he put the leather map back into the storage compartment. Chen's expression was very calm, and his sigh was more surprising than greedy. If anyone in the city knew this news, they would have trouble sleeping and eating, and would become greedy. But for Chen Xuan, that's all. The value of Magic Tears is not much lower than that of Dark Gold, and with Blue Star as its backer, he has sufficient supply. Making money is no longer his highest pursuit. It's just that the situation of the Colchicum Merchant Group is very complicated, and he intends to support Ophelia to rise to power. How the current situation will evolve, no one knows. Yusula's ultimate goal is to obtain the dark gold mine. Chen Xuan doesn't know the internal affairs of the Akso family. Nor does he care about the love-hate relationship between Ophelia's biological mother and stepmother. What is certain is that Ansetus also played a complex role in this family dispute. He curled his lips, gathered his thoughts, and focused on the other trophies. Chen Xuan took out the magic sword captured from Sorel Moran with his backhand. It is a broad-edged sword with a delicate curved guard. The style is somewhat like a straight-edged saber. But its tip is sharp and can be used for stabbing. This is also the most obvious difference between swords and knives. The sword body is made of dark gold, and the forging process is quite sophisticated. The special magic forging technology has left corresponding elemental magic pathways on it. This is also why magic weapons can carry elemental strike damage. In addition, the sword is also blessed with several runes. Mainly the rune effects based on the blessing of the material itself, such as [Strong], [Sharpness], and [Anti-bending]. The hilt is made of orichalcum and mithril, and is inlaid with a blue-white thunder magic gem. The grip is wrapped with a circle of some kind of python skin with excellent non-slip texture. The war sword is in excellent overall maintenance, with not many signs of wear. You must know that no matter how good the runes are forged, they are only trying to reduce the rate of weapon loss as much as possible. If you want to leave no traces of cutting and wear at all, only those legendary weapons or even so-called artifacts can do it. This battle sword is indeed very new, and it can be seen that Sorel has not used it a few times. Definitely not his usual main weapon before. The end of the sword hilt is engraved with a few lines of small characters in the common language of Naroa. [The magic forge workshop in the giant city of Attax was jointly created by the third-level magic pattern master Arsino Hartmann and the iron knight Adolphe Wildhammer. The name of the sword is: Thunder Surge] ... The craftsmen will all make their own in their own way. Leave a mark on your work. Judging from the material, this long sword named "Thunder Surge" is a third-level magic weapon. It is suitable for use by silver-level experts, and is naturally compatible with bronze-level ones. However, when the same amount of magic energy is input into the body, the power that can be exerted is completely different. Speaking of which, that ice and fire warhammer is also a third-level magic weapon. Bronze-level magic is still unable to exert its true strength. Magic weapons are far more precious than rune weapons of the same level, and the forging process is also more complicated. Considering the long accumulation period from silver level to gold level, most adventurers at the peak of bronze level will either insist on using rune weapons to deal with them for a while, or they will get it right in one step and directly arrange third-level magic weapons. This will not only meet the needs of Bronze Level, but will also be used for a long time after being promoted to Silver Level in the future.
However, even if they are both at the third level, there are differences in the level of magic weapons.
Ordinary goods can be bought for tens of thousands of crowns.
Better magic weapons cost more than 100,000 crowns.
The difference lies in whether the magic weapon is embedded with elemental gems of the corresponding level.
In addition, the technical skills of the magic pattern master will also affect the final power of a weapon.
At present, it seems that the Ice and Fire Warhammer and the Thunder Surge War Sword in Chen Xuan's hands are considered to be higher-end ones of the same level. It can be seen that "One-Eyed Ox" Henry and Sorel Moran have spent a lot of money on weapons. Heavy gold.
This is also normal. There is a saying that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the continent of Naroa:
"Money can buy a moment of peace, but a good sword can guarantee a lifetime of peace!"
Chen Xuan deeply agrees with this.
He gently held the Thunder Surge Sword, and only slightly input some magic energy through the hilt, and
the blade burst out with thunder arcs, shining with azure light.
It was also accompanied by a "sizzling" sound.
This made Chen Xuan want to raise his sword and shout: "Lei Gong, help me!"
Now he barely had a good sword.
If you combine it with magic skills that suit you, you can take your combat power to the next level.
Chen Xuan is going to learn clan sword skills from the two sisters Dora.
Swords are basically the same, the main difference is that the sword is heavy to chop and the sword is heavy to stab.
There is absolutely no problem in learning sword skills while holding a war sword.
Unlike Warhammer, it can't even make do.
After putting away the thunder surge, Chen Xuan looked at the rune flail again.
This is a light chain shackle with a wooden handle and a flat hammer head forged from orichalcum.
Unlike the well-maintained Thunder Sword, this flail has many signs of wear and tear.
The surface of the hard orichalcum hammer head has pits and pits, and there are also a few dark spots left by blood stains.
Through the inscription at the end, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that this flail was produced locally in Magtan City.
And the maker is the Iron Knight Jason Ironforge.
But it's just a second-level rune flail, so there's nothing unusual about it.
The selling price of second-level rune weapons in the city is only one or two thousand crowns.
The first-order rune dagger owned by Kitty Girl only costs three to four hundred crowns.
Chen Xuan saw that Dora Beria was very interested in the flail in his hand, so he threw it over.
The Zerikan sisters still use second-level rune one-handed swords.
He also doesn't mind adding new weapons to the two girls.
After taking the flail, Beria showed a sweet smile to Chen Xuan.
The facial features with great oriental charm, eyes and smile, really have a somewhat different style.
As time goes by, the two sisters' perceptions of him slowly change.
It is different from Kitten Girl’s consciousness of devotion based on repaying kindness.
These two twin flowers from the far eastern Kingdom of Zerikan really fit in with Chen Xuan's style of conduct.
However, it will take a certain amount of time for both parties to have a heart-to-heart and understand each other in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
After handling the flail, Chen Xuan took out a large bunch of rune keys.
These keys may be long or short and look different.
Each key has a different number and mark on it.
The material is orichalcum and is made by integral casting.
Chen Xuan still remembered that [Insight] mentioned that the team led by Sorel Moran was one of the five teams responsible for keeping the keys to various passages in the city.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of crowns of wealth were buried beneath Sorel's residence.
Then the role of these keys in front of you is self-evident.
Chen Xuan used the [Insight] effect to scan each rune key one after another.
Golden subtitles emerge, revealing the location and purpose of each key.
[Magnet City Second Circle North Area Gate]
...
[Magtan City Third Outpost Steel Gate]
...
This custody system is mainly to deal with the presence of monsters.
Since the outbreak of the demonic disaster, there have been few large-scale wars between internal forces in the Naroa continent.
At most, there are only occasional minor frictions due to conflicts of interest.
In order to ensure that the garrison can be stationed in time during emergencies, all key points are opened up.
There are five copies of these rune keys, which are kept by different teams.
It's not a big deal if the key is lost.
There are garrison handlers at all outposts and city wall stations at all times.
It doesn't mean much whether the door is open or not.
If a strong person really makes a surprise attack, just jump over the wall.
Chen Xuan shook his head and put the large bunch of keys into the storage compartment.
When he finished checking the weapons and maps.
The two sisters Dora, who are responsible for organizing the storage bags, have also completed the work of sorting and counting those storage bags.
They found a total of sixty-nine storage bags from the cave and Sorel's team.
Among them were currencies equivalent to about 190,000 crowns, and the purse Sorel Moran carried alone contained thirty to forty thousand crowns of dark gold coins.
It's not common for a guy to go into the wild and carry so much money with him.
After all, the outdoors is not an auction venue, so there is no need to bring extra money.
Unless you are a rich man!
It was obvious that Sorel was making money from both sides and was extremely rich.
Chen Xuan had already obtained his address from Old Baji, and when the moonlight night came, he would dig out all the money he had buried.
In addition to Kerang, there are twenty-seven first-level magic scrolls and nine second-level magic scrolls.
There are several strange potions, mainly first- and second-order healing potions.
In addition, a magical letter with directional communication within a hundred kilometers was also found in Sorel's storage bag, as well as a third-order [Flame Bead] that condensed the surging fire element.
This third-order elemental bead seems to be the mainstream item used to save lives in the city.
Chen Xuan had previously obtained a third-level [Thunderstorm Bead] from "One-Eyed Ox" Henry.
Now I got another [Flame Bead].
This made him a little curious about the power of these two beads.
Being able to be regarded as a treasure by a peak Bronze-level guy would at least be an initial threat to a Silver-level powerhouse.
Next is the "dividing the spoils" link.
Chen Xuan gave Dora and the two sisters 5,000 crowns each as pocket money.
The spell scrolls and the potions that have not gone bad are divided equally.
He also kept some of it himself.
After the partition was completed, Rebecca walked upstairs holding a large number of weapons.
After cleaning and inspection, only 27 of the thirty-nine weapons were still usable.
Eighteen of them are first-level rune weapons, and seven are second-level rune weapons.
What is rare is that there is also a third-level rune sword and a second-level magic dagger.
This can be regarded as an unexpected gain found in a lot of "junk metal".
The magic dagger is not embedded with elemental gems. After inputting magic elements, it can release a certain amount of shadow magic to cause additional erosion damage to the target.
It was given to Kitten Girl by Chen Xuan.
As for the third-level rune sword, it is just for Dora Yuclan.
My sister Beria got a flail, so it makes sense that my sister Yucca would be the first to change the sword.
Some of the remaining weapons can be selected as spares with good quality, and the rest can be sold by the White Rose Caravan.
After a simple distribution, all four of them were happy.
The absent Ophelia did not need equipment because Chen Xuan allowed her to control part of the caravan's income.
What's more, the [Demon Source] has also been decided to be rewarded for her to use.
Generally speaking, this wave can be regarded as an even mix of rain and dew.
Putting away all the gains, Chen Xuan looked out the window and estimated the current time period.
It should still be four or five water hours before the moonlit night arrives.
He was not going to waste this time, so he took out three [Intermediate Demon Seeds] and lined them up.
He took the two sisters, Kitty Girl and Dora, to practice together.
The way to go is to seize the time to break through the bronze level and reach the silver level to achieve qualitative changes!

I owe 3,000 words, and I'll pay it back with an update tomorrow.
A diligent worm must pay his debts
