Indigo continent, somewhere on the west coast.

The floating giant ship slowly flies above the sky clouds at a very low speed.

Several wizards belonging to the Crimson family squatted on the deck and leaned against the ship's side, silently looking down at the magical continent that was looming underneath.

With their strength, coupled with the buff of the eagle eye, it is also easy to penetrate the thin layer of cloud gas, directly to the strange natural landscape of the Indigo continent and a wide variety of jungle creatures.

It's a pity that the elves they want to find in this line are not as easy as looking for humans. Humans like to cut down the trees near the colony to build tall and strong camps and buildings. Therefore, as long as you climb up at night, you can find the villages and towns of human beings by following the lights that light up.

The Elf is said to be the closest to nature, and the most loved one of the forests. They almost never cut down trees, but naturally place their villages and towns on those particularly tall and particularly strong old trees.

The tree house is the residence where the elves live.

After the night falls, the elves rarely ignite an open fire, and they live in the dense forests of the mountains. Therefore, it is difficult to find them by candlelight.

And like them, they are flying above the high blue sky, looking far away, full of lush green, high and low undulating Linhai, it is difficult to find a trace of variegated. In this case, I want to find an elf village by the naked eye. It is simply an idiot.

So, when you get here, you want to find the elves, you can only drill into the forest honestly, learn the elves like high and low, and take a needle in the sea of ​​the hustle and bustle!

"Tama, you may recognize the terrain here? Before the war with the Elf King Court, I hope to hide this floating ship first, you recommend a place!" Glim simply glanced at the green Indulge in the forest, ask the wizard.

Of course, Grimm can't completely trust this guy who joins halfway. While waiting for his answer, Glim also silently transferred the topographic map of the Indigo continent in his mind, comparing it with the long and broken coastline.

It seems that for a long time, I have not sniffed the magical atmosphere in the magical forest. The half-elf Taimo pressed the excited mood and squatted on the ship's side of the floating ship to silently examine the forest under her body.

"If I remember correctly, here... it should be some white cliffs south of the west coast. The most obvious sign here is the white cliffs standing on the edge of the coast."

Following Tama's point, Glim really saw a touch of white on the edge of the distant cliff.

“This is the most complex sea state near the West Coast, the most complex reef, and the most unsuitable for large sea-going vessels. So in this area, the probability of encountering the Elf King patrol will be minimal.” Pointing to a certain direction of Lin Hai: "From here to the direction, you can find an elf village in about 7 days. Sorry, I am talking about the time it takes to walk through the forest. As for this big guy, maybe It only takes half a day to arrive..."

“The Elf Village...” Glim stunned and shook his head. “We are not suitable for premature contact with the elves, but we need to find a suitable place to go. Tama, is there any large area in the West Coast? What about metal veins or mine holes?"

“Metal mine hole?” Taima surprised and opened his mouth: “There seems to be a lot in the middle of the magical forest, but on the west coast...”

The half-elf bowed his head and thought about it. The less certain slash: "From here to the north, there is probably a 16-day trip. There seems to be a rat mine hole. I don't know if there is any metal vein inside!"

"Then go there first!" Grim made the order when he made a decision.

After a while, the floating ship re-raised, sneaked into the clouds, and quickly flew down the coastline along the shoreline in the direction indicated by the half-elf.

The giant ship that disappeared like a giant disappeared completely. In the tall canopy of the ancient woods on the edge of the forest, two elves dressed in green grass and vines were drilled.

Two elves, a man and a woman, looked at the position where the metal monster disappeared, and the eyes were still full of unspeakable horror.

"What are those? Is it a horrible monster made by the witches?" The female elf trembled, apparently not getting rid of the horror.

"What can't be done, we must pass the news of the metal monsters to the village as soon as possible. Maybe Grandpa Wenge can tell us the answer..." The male elf made a decision.

"Well, go..."

In a twinkling of an eye, the two elves did not enter the canopy behind them.

It’s strange to say that it’s just a moment of effort. Their figure is integrated into this forest, making it difficult to track down their traces.

One day later, news of a terrible metal monster was spread across every elf village on the West Coast.

............

Rats mine hole.

The 16-day trip in the Tama mouth was placed on the floating ship, but it was only one night and one night.

If it is not determined that the location of the entrance to the mine has taken four hours, Glim and his party can arrive here faster.

The rat mine hole, as its name suggests, is hidden in a jungle, revealing only a mine hole that slopes upwards into the black hole, which is home to a large rat tribe.

The elves are a group of tribes who pay great attention to personal grooming and neatness, let them enter the dark and damp, work in the mines that are not seen all day long, that is, it is difficult to kill them. So the forest elves and the rats in the mine reached an agreement, and the rats depended on paying a certain amount of ore to the forest elves every year in exchange for the right of abode in the mine.

Therefore, in the mouse hole, there is no half elf at all. The life is full of intelligent rats with a height of less than one meter, who can walk upright like a human and use various sophisticated tools.

The thin body of these rats can't wear a heavy stomach. They just buckled a metal cap on their heads, and then lit up a thick candle on it. With this faint light, it was dark and damp. Activities in the mine.

The weapons of the Rat Miners are basically awkward. Some strong Rat Warriors may also be equipped with ‘strong’ weapons such as *, iron swords, and spears.

According to Taimo's description, Grimm can judge that the most powerful head of the rat is the first-order strength. The rest of the rat warriors and miners are not high-level apprentices. And it's still the kind of junk that has no elemental power, only a few small tricks and small tricks.

For such garbage, Glim did not bother to send a valuable wizard, so he only assigned a goblin technician to carry in with five sets of archer-type magic weapons.

Glim and others found a slightly flatter place outside the mine to support the table and chairs. The hot tea just drank two cups, and the battle inside the mine was over.

Nearly 200 rats, including the Rat King, were all wiped out by a net and were screened by metal bullets of the magic weapon. As for the metal arrow that the mouse man hides in the dim tunnel, no matter the strength or the power of attack, it is not enough for the thick metal body outside the weapon.

Therefore, after the strength was fully crushed, the shooter magic weapon also easily and slaughtered the entire rat population.

The geotechnical engineer brought back four or five pieces of ore mined from the depth of the mine.

Glim took a piece of ore and smashed it in his hand, which was taken to the front for careful investigation.

"Drip, after testing, the ore is a common ore containing 11% of minerals and the rest are wastes of no use value... The mineral composition of the ore is estimated as follows:"

"Luotie Mine 1.42%..."

"Olivine 3.27%..."

"Gemstone 2.86%..."

"..."

“The proportion of metal components is less than XXX%, and there is no value for mining and smelting...”

After a long list of ore ingredients, the chip also gave the final evaluation results.

The quality of the mouse hole in front of the eye is not high, and the most popular elements of the elves are the low-order magic materials such as yellow, olivine and agate. These things are of some value to the elves, but they are useless for Grimm, who is eager to take root.

Several pieces of ore brought out by the goblin technicians were tested again. Grim’s disappointing wave of hands, all the people re-boarded the floating ship, and the bow turned and flew at another high-speed mine in the distance. .

You can be blunt to say that in order to find a suitable metal vein as soon as possible, Grem has been desperate. Anyway, it is also the edge of the magical forest. The army and power that the Elven Kingdom can project is limited, and it is not enough to deter their actions.

And there are five or six days of hard work, the coalition of the Dark Witch and the Pale Witch will arrive at the Indigo continent by boat. At that time, they will become more eye-catching and easier to capture.

Presumably, at that time, the Elven Kingdom was more willing to send elite troops to encircle them, instead of chasing a group of elf troops to catch up behind the floating ships.

To be honest, with the ship and the cannon, Grim has long been dismissive of the army of the secular world. The only thing that can make him worry about it is the elemental users and the terrible elf powerhouse.

But now Grim led the floating giants to circle around the edge of the Indigo continent, and did not make the slaughter of the elves, plus they also turned back and forth from time to time to fly back to the sea. If you replace Grimm with the Elf Commander at the moment, I am afraid I will not know how to start this inexplicable metal monster!
