Chapter 1430 Refining Mithril Strategic Reserve
After returning to the Tower of Time, Niya and Xia Duo came to the laboratory together, and she also wanted to know if what she discovered was a mithril mine.

However, after taking out the stone sample, Xia Duo did not continue, but asked Niya, "Are you coming or I?"

"I come!"

Almost without any hesitation, Niya agreed. How could she miss this opportunity to personally verify it!

As for the verification method, if it was in the past, it might be more troublesome, but now, Xia Duo has already bought the Mithril extraction method from the Severton Council, and it is easy to get the result as long as it is extracted.

Under Xia Duo's watchful eyes, Niya first applied a layer of protection against heat for herself, and then skillfully activated the alchemy circle, throwing a bunch of silver ingots sent by Ta Ling into the alchemy circle.

Unlike large-scale refining, it may be necessary to build a smelting furnace, but for a small amount of refining, an alchemy circle is enough.

And compared to ordinary furnaces, the alchemy circle can keep pure silver in a molten and boiling state more stably and easily.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the silver ingots in the floating field above the alchemy circle began to turn red hot and soften, and after a while, they completely turned into a ball of red-glowing liquid.

Soon, the pure silver liquid in molten state began to boil, and then Niya threw the stone sample retrieved by Xia Duo into it.

Then it's time to wait.

The boiling liquid sterling silver will gradually soak into the sample, if it contains Mithril, it will form [Pure Silver Mithril] agglomerates, if not, then naturally there will be no such special agglomerates that are not difficult to identify.

During the waiting time, Niya asked Xia Duo: "If you are sure it is Mithril, what are you going to do?"

"Of course it's as if nothing happened!" Xia Duo directly gave such an answer.

"Why? Didn't it mean that before the establishment of the Northern Alliance, the mithril agreement between Netheril, Yerlan, and Danzo had been re-signed? In the future, the mithril mines we discovered will not need to be handed over to Danzo to operate!"

"It's not because of this, remember Lord Rodney?"

"Lord Rodney?"

Even though the two sides were no longer hostile, and were even allies to a certain extent, Niya still didn't have much good looks on her face.

Who told Lord Rodney to comb the Green Pearl Forest for several decades in the Savile family to staking the land as soon as he came!Everyone has an idea.

And Xiaduo understands even more that although the current Lord Rodney has given up, once the Mithril mine is exposed, who knows if he will come out again, and of course he must not be the only one.

At that time, Green Pearl Forest will inevitably come to the forefront, and troubles will continue.

You must know that whether it is the Savile Territory or the Great Xia Territory, they only legally occupy the developed area in terms of law. No matter how much the Savile Family has paid for the Green Pearl Forest, as long as it has not been developed, it is not considered occupation.

Now it is very easy to apply for a development order. As long as the inland lord applies for a development order, he can enclose the land when he comes to the Green Pearl Forest.

Even directly occupying the discovered mithril mine, it is difficult for Xia Duo to respond too much, at most it is to keep part of the ownership, and it is impossible to keep all of it.

Of course, this is not the point. A mere Mithril mining house will be abandoned. The key point is that this will disrupt Xia Duo's development plan for the southern border.

If all the outsiders occupy the area around Da Xia, how can he develop? Will he really want to move all of them to the floating city?

Not to mention that there are so many outsiders, countless eyes are fixed on the southern border, and he will be tied up in whatever he wants to do. Xia Duo has not forgotten that there is a time bomb in the territory now!

It might be unlucky for Atwood to master the new natural sacred power when he was discovered by the elf master god, and then directly started the battle of gods.

"So, no matter whether it is a Mithril mine or not, we can't say anything, just pretend that this has never happened!"

"If it's really a mithril mine, shouldn't we want it?"

"How is that possible! It's just that there is no need to rush to develop it now. Although the Tower of Time lacks Mithril, it is more lacking in long-term strategic reserves, and there is still plenty for daily use." Xia Duo said with a smile.

At present, the Tower of Time can still buy Mithril from outside, especially now that Mithril control is almost useless after the update of the Mithril Agreement of the Three Kingdoms. As long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want.

Who said that mineral deposits must be developed immediately!
It is enough to know where it is. First, use other people's homes and your own home as a strategic reserve. In case one day you cannot obtain materials from the outside world, those mineral deposits are the best cards.

However, on the bright side, it is also very important to maintain a certain mining foundation, at least to maintain a group of mining experts who act as instructors at critical moments.

"We only explored the weak points of the veins near the territory. Wait until the task management office releases a task to find the veins. We can't develop the mines in the Green Pearl Forest. The mines near our own territory are still fine."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Xia Duo could tell that Niya was still in a low mood, but she couldn't say anything to comfort her. She just reminded: "It's almost time, let's see the reaction result."

"Oh, almost forgot."

When it came to sample testing, Niya immediately regained her spirits. She quickly picked out a pile of solid residue from the pure silver liquid, and then directly used the alchemy circle to cool it down quickly.

After careful selection, a smile finally appeared on Niya's face. She pinched a small black solid, held it up to Xia Duo, and said excitedly:
"Look, is this [pure silver Mithril] agglomerated?"

Although it is a question sentence, it reveals an extremely certain tone.

Xia Duo took the small piece of black solid from Niya's hand, and after a little inspection, he confirmed that it was undoubtedly a lump of [pure silver·mithril].

Afterwards, you only need to fire it separately, control the temperature, and filter out the pure silver liquid, and you can get rough mithril.

"It's Mithril!" Xia Duo said calmly.

But it's hard to hide the joy in his tone. If he can find a mithril vein in the Green Pearl Forest, he may find the second, third, and even more!
Speaking of which, the Green Bead Forest is really a treasure land. Apart from the forest itself, the ruins of Mysuo, the ruins of Sarukh, and the Mithril Mine have been discovered one after another.

Of course, if you count the totem pole left by Savile on the Wolf God Mountain, there will be even more treasures!

So what else to discover next?

Xia Duo looked forward to it.

……

After confirming that there were indeed mithril veins in the Green Pearl Forest, Xia Duo made several mithril vein detectors almost overnight.

Different from Drow's [Earth Vein Detector], which can only rely on the user's own judgment, the Mithril Vein Detector made by Xia Duo integrates the feedback characteristic model of the Mithril Vein echo that he summed up.
