Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

"Thirteen, does it have anything to do with those rats?" said Filia, who was wearing cloth and had a gloomy expression.

"No, it shouldn't be. If it had something to do with that group of rats, there wouldn't be another number. And I can't imagine that there would be humans who believe in the evil god of those rats."

"We just heard a group of people shouting the battle cry of the Green Orks." Cynthia sneered.

"Ah!" Suddenly, one of the combat nuns screamed, scaring everyone.

"What happened!?"

"My sword is broken!" The nun held up her broken sword.

Chapter 114: Mine Explosion

Weapons are consumables, and this has been the case since ancient times. No matter how sophisticated the weapons and equipment are, the losses after a battle are staggering.

The combat nuns encountered such a problem at this time: their weapons were damaged and one of the combat nuns' sword was broken.

The weapons and equipment of the Sisters of Battle are mainly heavy, and most of their swords are heavy swords. One of them is even as big as a coffin board, just a piece of iron. Heavy weapons are relatively less durable, but they will also wear out.

The battle sisters can maintain their weapons themselves, but they are not able to repair damages, so they need a blacksmith.

In desperation, Shanoya could only go to the blacksmith in the camp. Since the weapons were damaged during the battle to defend the camp, the blacksmith in the camp would certainly help repair them, but an insurmountable problem was placed before Shanoya.

Not enough material.

There is an extreme shortage of metal in the entire camp. The metals used now are basically fished out from the ruins of Dundalk City and are all used in a hurry.

There was no other way, Shanoya could only go to Ilfa to discuss if there was any solution, and then she happened to know the solution to this problem.

"Iron ore?" Near the main tent, Shanoya looked surprised as she watched a group of people gathered around a carriage, making preparations before departure.

"Yes." Ilufa changed out of the dress she had been wearing and put on casual clothes suitable for outdoor activities. She also tied her long hair into a ponytail. As she spoke, Ilufa was tying her belt. As she inhaled and tightened her abdomen, her amazingly large breasts shook elastically. "The camp is very short of iron, so we plan to go out and get some back."

Shanoya looked at the group of people in confusion. In addition to Ilfa, there were Katie, Linde, Fran, and a blacksmith who was responsible for selecting iron ore. There were only five people in total.

Just a few people going to open a mine! ?

"Sister, please don't joke." Shanoya said seriously. "Just a few of you, are you going to open a mine?"

"What's the problem?" Ilufa smiled. "We don't need a lot of ore, we just need to bring back enough."

Judging from his expression, Ilfa was serious, which made Shanoya even more confused.

"Then... Sister, why did you go there in person?" Shanoya asked persistently. "You are a noble person, why would you go there in person to do this?"

"Because I need my wife's magic to blow up the mine." Linde said with dead eyes. "If you are worried about your sister-in-law, why don't you come with her."

Linde could see that Shanoya was worried about her sister-in-law. In her opinion, it was not appropriate for the lord to personally take part in mining.

"Okay!" Without any hesitation, Shanoya agreed to join the team.

Thus, the mining team was assembled. Since they had just experienced a battle, there were still many things to do in the camp, and the amount of iron needed was not much, so there were only a few people.

Six people, one carriage, and the group set off.

According to the locations marked by the Mother Earth, Lind chose the nearest one. It was said that the iron ore content here was high and the distance was also suitable. With a round trip, he could probably return shortly after dark.

However, just in case, the mining team still brought camping equipment and water in case they were late to return and had to spend a night in the wild.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way, and in the afternoon, the group arrived at the iron mine location marked by Lind, a branch of the central mountain range of Aiwozhen Island.

Since the location of the ore was learned by the Mother Goddess through the various tribes of the New Beastmen, which meant that these ores had already been mined, after a little search, the group found traces of mining by the New Beastmen.

"Sir, this is indeed iron ore, and it is very good quality iron ore." The accompanying blacksmith was named Stanley, who was about 30 years old and looked a bit like an orangutan. At this time, he was checking the ore with excitement. "There are traces of mining here, and you can tell from the residue on the ground and the cross section that it is very good quality iron ore!"

Lind didn't know anything about mining, nor did he know how to judge the quality of the ore, but looking at the blacksmith's excitement and the large area of ​​rust-like red on the mountain in front of him, he knew it should be correct.

"Yes, you are an expert in this area, and I trust your judgment." Since he was not an expert in this area, Linde directly gave him full authority to choose the iron ore.

When the blacksmith Stanley heard that he was called an expert by a noble and was even addressed as "you", he was so surprised that he was speechless and looked very terrified.

After confirming that the location of the ore is correct, the next task is simple. In one word, explosion.

Normally, mining requires a lot of manpower, hammer and shovel to dig slowly, and the ore is often located under the mountain, so it is a joke for a few people to dig. But fortunately, the ore here has been exposed by the new beastmen, and all Ilufa needs to do next is to use magic to blast some of it down.

Since the magic level required for the explosion was not low, it was not something that only the triangle-level Elisa could do, so the five-star Ilfa personally took action.

After determining the location of the explosion, everyone moved to a safe location and waited for Ilufa to drop the bomb. After Ilufa found a suitable location, he began to prepare for magic.

While Ilufa was preparing magic, the others were also busy. Fran was on guard, Shanoya stayed by Ilufa's side, and Katie, who was responsible for pulling the cart, was carrying an axe and looking towards the north with a nostalgic look on her face.

"Sister Katie, what are you looking at?" Lind asked curiously.

"Huh?" Katie was awakened from her memories. "I wasn't looking, I was smelling."

"smell?"

"Yes." Katie took a deep breath. "After crossing this mountain, the Thunder Tribe is not far away. The air here is a bit similar to that of the Thunder Tribe."

Lind realized that the location here was not far from the Thunder Tribe.

Lind couldn't smell the scent in the air, but perhaps the new beastmen's keen sense of smell could smell it.

But speaking of the Thunder Tribe, there are still many secrets that have not been solved, such as what exactly Zexi wanted to do that day, and the Mother Goddess of Earth refused to tell her when asked.

"Explosion!" Ilfa's magic was ready, and a huge, unstable fireball appeared in front of Ilfa and smashed towards the target location.

The fireball hit the mountain, causing a loud noise and a cloud of dust. When the dust cleared, a huge hole appeared in front of everyone.

Linde stared at the big hole in amazement. Auntie, are you so brave?

Ilfa stared at his masterpiece in amazement. When did he become so strong?

Chapter 115 Cave

Originally, when there was a need for magic in the camp, Elisa was basically asked to do it. Firstly, Elisa was still a magic apprentice at the triangle level and needed to be trained diligently. Secondly, there were only two magicians in the camp, and one of them was the lord's wife. It was indeed inappropriate to let the lord's wife do these trivial matters.

Although it is not very appropriate to let the lord's daughter do this job.

When it came to the mining work, Ilfa did not let his daughter come, but did it himself. The reason was that the magic level required for blasting the ore was too high, and his daughter had not reached this level yet, so he had to do it himself.

Then Lind saw the great power of Ilufa with his own eyes.

After an explosion, a big hole was directly opened on the hard rock wall of the mountain. Everyone was stunned and amazed at the powerful strength of Lady Ilfa.

The power of magic is directly proportional to the complexity of the magic and the magic power of the magician. The magic power of each level of magician is ten times more than that of the previous level. In other words, the five-star Ilfa has almost a hundred times more magic power than the triangle-level Elisa.

Lind couldn't imagine what this one hundred times meant, but now, the gap between the magicians was clearly displayed in front of Lind.

A fireball could create a hole in the rock wall. This was something that the current Alyssa definitely couldn't do.

Then Lind became confused. Auntie, your magic is so strong, how did you get caught?

"Sister, you don't need to use such powerful magic." After the explosion, everyone was stunned. Shanoya was the first to react and said to Ilfa.

Ilufa was no less surprised than the others. As the caster of magic, Ilufa knew very well how much magic power he had used, and it was impossible for him to blast such a big hole.

"I didn't use much magic power." Illufa was confused. "And this hole seems to be a little bit wrong."

Not only Ilufa, but Linde also found something wrong at this time. The hole was too deep.

"Is there a natural cave here?" Linde thought.

After the initial shock, Linde also reacted. If it was a hole caused by explosion, it would definitely be wide outside and narrow inside, but this was obviously not the case, it was very deep inside.

There was originally a cave here, and Ilfa's magic exploded right on it.

Although there were some unexpected events, the plan was successful. As everyone walked over, Stanley, the blacksmith, began to select the ore with high iron content, and then he and others threw the selected ore into the horseless carriage.

Since there were no horses, Katie was the only one pulling the cart. No one else could pull the heavy cart filled with iron ore.

Linde also helped to carry the ore. In order to save space in the carriage, he tried to pick as small pieces of iron ore as possible. After a while of hard work, the carriage was soon filled to the brim.

"How is it, Sister Katie, can you pull it?" Lind asked with concern before starting to return. "If it's hard, don't force it."

"It's okay, it's just a small weight, it's a piece of cake." Katie pulled the carriage easily without much effort.

I looked at the time and it was already late. If we set off now, it would definitely be dark by the time we arrived at the camp.

Without further ado, everyone prepared to set off, but Ilfa stared at the cave with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Ma'am, what are you looking at?" Linde asked curiously.

"Ah?" Ilufa was stunned. "Ah, nothing, maybe it's an illusion."

"illusion?"

"I seemed to sense a slight fluctuation of wind magic just now, but when I carefully felt it, I couldn't feel it anymore." Illufa smiled. "It might be an illusion."

"Eh?" As he was speaking, Ilfa was stunned again. "Again?"

"Is there magic in this?" Lind immediately became alert.

"Yes, there is magic." Ilufa closed his eyes and felt it carefully. "The magic is very weak and comes in waves, so I thought it was an illusion just now."

Is there magic in this cave?

Looking into the cave, I seemed to see a little light vaguely.

There is something in the cave.

"My lords, I have wanted to say this before. This cave was not formed naturally, but was dug out by humans." At this moment, the blacksmith Stanley plucked up the courage to tell his discovery.

"Huh? You know this?" Linde was stunned.

"I understand a little bit." Stanley scratched his head embarrassedly.

At Stanley's reminder, Lind also observed the rock walls of the cave and found that there were indeed traces of artificial excavation, which was not formed naturally.

"Can you tell when this cave was dug?" Lind asked Stanley.

Stanley could only scratch his head.

Seeing how long it took to dig the cave, it was indeed difficult for him, so Linde did not force it.

But the next question is, should we go in and explore?

Everyone was aware of this problem, and they faced each other, looking at each other for their opinions.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Shanoya broke the silence first and suggested.

"Katie, Fran, do you know there is a cave here?" Lind first asked the two new local beastmen.

"I don't know." Katie shook her head. "I've never heard of such a large man-made cave in the mountains."

"Me too." Fran also said. "With the ability of the beastmen, they can't dig such a big cave."

The two new beastmen knew nothing about this cave, but it was true that neither the Chaos Beastmen nor the New Beastmen had such great organizational ability and productivity to dig such a deep artificial cave.

Since the beastmen living locally didn't know, Linde still had one person to ask, the Mother Earth.

(Amora, can you hear me?)

(I heard you, my dear son.) Soon, Amora's voice rang out. (What do you want from mom? Is the iron ore mining going well?)

(It went smoothly. We have obtained enough iron ore.) Linde answered first, and then changed the subject. (However, when looking for iron ore, we made an unexpected discovery.)

(What unexpected discovery?)

(We found a cave, dug by humans, and there is magic coming out of it. It is located in the mountains south of the Thunder Tribe. Do you know what it is?)

The Mother Earth did not answer, but remained silent for a long time.

(Mother Earth? Amora? Mom?) After a long time without a response, Lind asked. (Can you hear me?)

(I... don't know anything.) After a long silence, Amora spoke, her tone no longer as relaxed as before, but with a clear sense of heaviness. (That cave, I can't remember anything.)

Chapter 116 Sylph Stone

What is God? Believers of different gods will have different answers. Even different sects that believe in the same God will have different answers. But no matter which sect, they basically believe that God is high above and powerful. Even if he is not omniscient and omnipotent, he is not far from it.

Then the Mother Goddess of Earth said to Linde, "I don't know."
