Re, Gu Aotian Slaughtered Me
v16 Chapter 70: swordsman mining
Kate is a little dumbfounded about Kirito's entanglement.
She said: "Here, I really can't give a definite suggestion. To create a weapon that can rival the eldest lady and Eugeo, let alone the finished product, the materials are hard to come by. It all depends on fate. Even if there is, Tong You can’t afford it with your savings, or do you want to explore and collect it yourself? This behavior is similar to looking for a giant dragon in the mountains to pull out its teeth.”
Kirito scratched his head: "Ah... It's true that this world is different from SAO, you can't go to that kind of place casually... Well, please don't pay attention to this sentence."
"It's not like there are clues that are easier to find."
"oh?"
"I heard that you, Kirito, Eugeo and other villagers defeated the big monster that broke out of the mine. Maybe it was a legendary beast. There are still several famous places in the world where the beast is sealed, some of which are still Those who are suppressed with a divine weapon, go pull out the divine weapon and kill the unsealed divine beast, the divine weapon will be yours."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres; both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Eh? Doesn't this violate the Taboo Index?"
"Sacred beasts are not human beings. And after so many years, any artifact can become ownerless, as long as you don't release the sacred beasts to harm the human world and start slipping away on your own."
"Oh, that's right... forget it, I can't afford this responsibility. By the way, Miss Kate, you are terrible. Even if you read the legend of the beast in the book, would the average person make such a suggestion? Are you Who is it?"
"How could it be? I wouldn't talk about this kind of thing with other people. But isn't Kirito a strong man who has such glorious deeds as a crusade against divine beasts?"
"I don't want to come to this...that kind of battle a second time. Besides, it's not without casualties."
Not to mention a few guards and hunters from other villages, even an integrity knight was seriously injured, and his flying dragon was also dead. And Kirito hasn't said that the kobold lord Yin Erfangu might be the weakest floor boss... the beast, so it's okay to go solo and brush the stronger one?
"Hmm, yes, there is a normal but safe method, but it may not have a chance for ordinary Kirito." Kate thought about the information that the master allowed to disclose, and said.
"Can you tell me about it? How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?"
"Well, in the Eastern Empire of Instabalyes, various things have been produced underground in the Tanreni Canyon in recent years. Even the nobles of the Northern Empire have come to confirm it. Although it is occupied by the nobles, there is no land in the canyon. There are still a lot of them, and you can dig out several good crystals there, if you can dig out a thousand fist-sized rough stones and keep refining them, maybe you can create a magic sword with a good weight."
"A thousand..."
"This is a common way to make high-quality magic swords. It's a waste of time and money, right? I heard that there are also good mines in the northern end mountain range. How about that?"
"That won't work. The mine veins are poisonous. It is the limit of what I can do to transport out the weapons they have processed."
"Hey... I still have the knowledge of several mine veins, but these are more convenient to obtain legally. That's what makes a good weapon with manpower. Kirito, don't think about the power of heaven and earth just because you've seen an artifact What a fantasy."
"Ahaha, that's true." Kirito scratched his head and smiled wryly, thinking that SAO's smelting and forging must have simplified the process to the extreme.
………………………
"The Tanreni Canyon of the Eastern Empire of Instabalies? Yes." Elvira nodded with a smile to Kirito who was anxiously making the request.
"What? Is it really possible!" Kirito was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Yes, speaking of it, you have been here for more than half a year. It is not surprising that you were not there at this time last year. A part of Tanreni Canyon is the territory of an acquaintance of my acquaintance. It has just been restarted for one year in recent years. It was a festival that didn't exist anywhere else. I originally wanted to practice for two more years before going there, but Kirito, you taught me very well. I was wondering where to go to play and reward myself for working hard before school started. I asked acquaintances to go there to relax and watch. It’s not bad to come. You and Eugeo can come with me, and you can do what you like while I invite friends to play.” Elvira said happily.
"Hey... don't you need to prepare? Miss, you are willing to share the recommendation book quota that can be allocated in your territory. Thank you very much, but I have also worked for you for several months. I have never seen you or the head of the family do this. What have you done?"
"Of course the royal family and nobles can sign up unconditionally, and those with insufficient status can choose to pay a large sum of money to get a place. Do you want me to say this common sense?"
"Yes, I understand." Kirito lowered his head and secretly cursed the education system of this world for a second.
………………………
A few days later, Instabaliyas Eastern Empire, Tanreni Canyon—
"When, when, when..."
"One thousand two hundred and fifty-one."
"When, when, when..."
"One thousand two hundred and fifty-two, I'm sorry, Eugeo, for asking you to accompany me to do such a boring thing."
"It doesn't matter. Cutting the devil's tree is much more boring than this. At least it will keep peeling off the ore. Before I learned the secret art, cutting down the devil's tree was almost motionless, and people couldn't see the light. And...Tong People spent a lot of money to prepare a weapon for me, and I should also contribute to Kirito's sword. One thousand two hundred and fifty-three!"
"Wow, Eugeo, there's another treasure chest... 1273!"
Eugeo and Kirito were digging here when Elvira was visiting the nearby noble territory.
Kirito and Eugeo found a treasure-like place in the valley that would be worth a fortune if you just knocked a piece of it from the mountain~lightnovelpub.net~ If you want to talk about why this place is not taken by the nobles of this territory, The large monster corpses near the two of them showed the problem.
Although it might be okay to hire miners and let them work here as guards, there are still risks. Elvira doesn't run the place, and she doesn't want to take risks, so she lets them do it here.
Usually, it is illegal to do work that is not in line with one's vocation, and it is okay to have a "side job" that can serve one's vocation, such as seeking sword-making materials for preparing one's own weapons.
Also, getting the ore doesn't seem to be that difficult.
For some reason, some relic passages were dug out, and there were treasure chests in them, and there were quite a few of them. Most of the treasure chests contained dozens of crystal ores with high purity compared with the content in the reference book, and even hot springs were dug out.
Eugeo complained a lot about this like Fizel and Linel who came here back then, and was quite shocked by Kirito's normal behavior.
Kirito can't help it either, why does the appearance here really feel like SAO?
