Before explosives were fully developed and popularized, and in remote areas, the cost of developing underground mines was several times that of open-pit mines.

This is also the reason why the Lantega family wants to sell the mine, even if it is an iron ore that generates money.

Observing every detail in the iron ore, Gudern then entered the mine directly.

The temperature inside the mine is much lower than outside. Although autumn has just begun, the blazing sun in the sky has not yet receded.

A cool breeze blew out of the cave and penetrated directly into his clothes from the collar, making the unprepared Gudern shiver.

As the temporary guard captain, Els was the first to explore the road with a torch, followed closely by Gudern.

Looking at the uneven mine, Gudern was thinking about how to develop this thing.

The mine is not deep, and everyone has walked thirty or forty meters before reaching the end.

Although there are three forked roads inside, one of them has been flooded by water and cannot go down, and the remaining two are about the same excavation distance.

The people on the side held high torches, and Gude touched the mine wall, trying to get a closer look.

But what happened next made Gudern stunned for a moment.

Can this thing be modified? !

[Name: Iron Ore Vein]

[Entry: water seepage, hard geology]

[Introduction: An iron ore vein buried underground]

[Seepage: This mineral water is easy to seep]

[Hard geology: The veins are hard, making mining more difficult]

Chapter 55 Become famous in one battle

Somewhat speechless, I looked at the two entry introductions that appeared in front of me.

If you don't have to modify your feelings, then you really have to break the mine?

One is about water seepage and the other is about hard geology. It’s hard to imagine whether these two entries can be developed well if they are stacked together.

But now that he was here, Gudern glanced at the editable entry.

[Natural ventilation: No matter how deep the mine is, you can breathe the same fresh air as the ground]

[Loose soil: The geology inside the mine is loose and can easily cause collapse]

[Magnetic field interference: it will be difficult to identify the direction after entering the mine]

Gudern looked at the three initial entries and chose 'natural ventilation' to replace and modify the 'water seepage' item.

After confirming, Gudern suddenly felt his head sinking, as if he had been hit on the back of the head by a heavy object.

This modification reaction was only felt when he used it for the first time.

It's strange... I usually don't respond to changes that much. What happened today?

After muttering something under his breath, Gude directly focused on refreshing and began to prepare to modify the second entry.

As all three refresh opportunities were used up, an entry made Gudern's eyes light up.

[Efficiency Mining: The ore mining rate is increased by 100%, and the output is increased by 50%]

It seems that his handsome appearance in battle last night conquered the goddess of luck, and she gave him a big gift this time.

Decisively choosing to replace and modify the 'hard geology', a feeling of dizziness suddenly rose in my mind the next second.

Before Gudern could react, his eyes began to darken.

Realizing that something was wrong, Gudern quickly shouted: Send back to the city....

But before he could even finish the last word fort, he went limp and passed out.

Everyone in the mine was shocked when they saw this, and they quickly resisted the young master and ran out.

While Gudern was unconscious and on his way back to the castle, the military camp outside Jinyuan City was bustling with activity.

In addition to returning covered in blood and mud, Dedalo even brought a dozen orc captives with him.

Seeing an orc in Jinyuan City is an extremely rare thing.

Therefore, soon all the sergeants received a gag order warning.

As the center of the incident, Dedalo directly met with the supreme commander of the army, the city lord Bernard.

In the military camp, Bernard listened carefully to the details of Dedalo's mission in the past few days.

At the same time, he was still playing with a piece of dark gray metal in his hand. If Gudern were here, he would definitely recognize it as a manganese steel ingot.

You mean that shortly after the night attack, Lord Gudern of Qingyuan arrived to provide support? And helped you kill hundreds of orcs together?

Regarding Dedalo's remarks, Bernard couldn't help but ask again.

Yes, Lord City Lord.

Dedalo nodded in confirmation.

Lord Gudern did not personally participate in the fight. Instead, he used a special weapon that could kill people from a distance like a crossbow, but it shot metal instead of a crossbow.

Dedalo said, taking out a deformed iron slug from his arms, which was discovered by his men when they were cleaning the battlefield.

Bernard took the warhead and examined it carefully, while Dedalo on the side continued.

This weapon fires very fast, and its attack range is far more than a hundred steps. A total of 127 orcs died under it, and a total of 95 orcs died.

One of them, the Lion Centurion, also died on this weapon.

Listening to Dedalo's words, Bernard didn't show anything. He just looked at the warhead in his hand quietly, thinking about something in his heart.

After a while, Bernard broke the silence.

You did a good job in the task of detecting the orcs. Your military merits have doubled. Go and have a good rest. I will arrange for you to fill the vacant manpower in the team.

Thank you, Lord City Lord!

Bernard nodded slightly, and then Dedalo immediately withdrew from the military camp.

As the notice continues, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Border Army are preparing to set off tomorrow to patrol the surrounding borders, announcing to the outside world that they will exercise prevention and focus on the vicinity of Qingyuan Snow Ridge.

Yes! The messenger on the side informed him immediately after getting the news.

After assigning the task, Bernard looked at the manganese steel in his hand.

'Gudern... Which family are you a descendant of... Being so high-profile at this time, I really don't know if you are stupid or confident...'

At the same time, the secret room of the Charleson family was also 'busy' at the moment.

They had already known about the official mining mines in the Guden Belt, but when they were discussing whether to harass them, the news of the annihilation of the orcs was sent over.

Looking at the contents of the secret message, everyone's faces looked very embarrassed.

It’s not that they didn’t know that the orcs were lurking in the empire, but what the hell happened when the orcs were wiped out?

The hundred-man orc army disappeared overnight?

And he still died at the hands of that good-for-nothing Gudern. Who can believe this?

Orc troops of this level, if they attack any of their towns at will, the only result they will face is that they will be wiped out.

The tense silence was broken by Gezier's words.

The appearance of the orcs will definitely trigger a cleanup and inspection by the empire. Please temporarily suspend the following activities during this period.

Well, the people above are already dissatisfied with not taking down Qingyuan Town. Taking a break for a while is the best option.

Listening to Bertaya's helpless tone, Gejir also sighed.

The closer we get to the point, the more troubles there will be. Ever since Gooden's inexplicable recovery, our troubles have really been one after another.

Especially my second son. I don't know what's going on lately. He's so angry that even I dare to contradict him.

It's probably something about the auction house. As a young man, he wants to save face, but Gudern doesn't give him any face at all...

Bertaya was also a little surprised by Gudern's fiery behavior. Where did the 'Master Gudern' who used to be submissive and could tease anyone go?

And now, if you were to annihilate the orc army by yourself, everyone would be shocked, right?

Hey, let's not talk about it anymore. How are you preparing for your share of this year's autumn harvest tax? I'm afraid I'm a little short...

The topic changed and the two began a new round of discussion arrangements.

At night.

Qingyuan Town Castle.

Gudern woke up from a coma in the bedroom.

Looking at the familiar bedroom, he sighed secretly in his heart. This was the second time he woke up from a 'coma'.

I got up slightly and moved my upper limbs, but I didn't feel any discomfort.

The maid on guard duty was also very happy to see the young master regaining consciousness.

Without waiting for her to speak, Gudern rubbed his head and asked.

How long have I been unconscious? Give me a glass of water by the way.

From the time you were sent back in the afternoon to now just after nightfall, Master, are you still feeling uncomfortable in any way?

The maid on duty said and handed over a glass of water.

Chapter 56 History and Crisis

Gudern took the water glass and drank it in one gulp.

The cool cold water rushes through, and the dry throat suddenly feels much better.

It's okay. Go and ask Old Joseph to come to my place.
