The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

47.

Anna didn't know why she was busy drilling the mine on the day she was about to leave, making herself dusty.

During Christmas this month, they will definitely go back, that is to say, it is best to be able to be there before the Christmas party on the 24th, and set aside a certain amount of time to ensure that the state of participating in the dance is considered to be up to standard.

In this way, they should arrive at Wangcheng around the 23rd.

When Anna came here, because of the detour from the Principality of Württemberg, plus some rest and waiting time in the middle, it took about two weeks before and after.

But this time they walked directly from the river port, or by land, because it was relatively direct, so if it was quick, it might not take five days to get there.

Anna originally planned to finish participating in the activities of the market, and she could almost leave the next day.

It was scheduled to leave on the afternoon of the 17th, but in the morning, she received a report from the dwarfs——

Something strange has been dug out of the mine.

If possible, she, a very powerful lord, had better go and see for herself.

The dwarves seemed to have been shocked, and they all looked a little sleepy.

Anna casually identified one of them, and found that the system showed that they were all [mentally weakened], and they were all negative related to dark elements.

In this way, Anna had to come over and explore the cave all over again.

In the original plan, the excavation of the mine will be arranged until around the 20th, and the related work in the entire territory is like this.

Except that Paul's engineering team was working on the stone processing plant.

If the time is exceeded, then his team can be the only exception to continue working, extending the work and paying overtime pay.

In addition, on the 23rd and 24th of Christmas, there is no need to start work, and the latest work will be until the 30th of the month, and it will be done later.

However, all work can theoretically be completed around the 20th.

The dwarves here will still dig the mine for a few days, but if the mine itself is dangerous, it will be very bad.

"We saw something very strange in the mine..."

"It's so uncomfortable, woo woo woo..."

"I don't know why I suddenly want to cry so much."

"It's just hard...why are we being cheated?"

"I was ridiculed, woo woo woo..."

"Life is so hard..."

The seven dwarfs were talking to her intermittently, but Anna didn't understand much.

It's really because the dwarves are in a very bad state. They started crying as they talked, and their words were distracted. Even if Anna gave skills such as dispelling, they could only speed up their recovery. Reduce the duration of the buff, and the one with the shortest weakening time bar above the head finally reaches 2 hours.

But part of what they said vaguely, Ana understood, was that they had dug into a new place, and saw something there, and then something went wrong.

Right now, they are still mourning their past misfortunes, as if they have no way to communicate properly.

Anna only asked Catherine and others to arrange to stay by their side to ensure that the dwarves would not have any accidents because they were in a bad mood and ran around. Ask about the situation.

"Cough cough."

Maybe it's because the mine has already been mined, and the smell of dust here seems to be heavier than last time. Anna feels a little uncomfortable subjectively, but there is nothing wrong with the attribute column.

Anna could only suppress the strange feeling in her heart, and continued to walk deep into the mine.

After being officially accepted by the dwarves, the mine has two entrances, one is the exit that Anna and others went down from the cave, but now the mechanism at the entrance has been cancelled, and the room that was originally used as a bedroom and dining room has been abandoned , and the road leading to the mining entrance has been dug a little bigger.

There was another entrance, which had also been dug through, and this was the opening usually used for transporting coal out of mines.

This mouth is the most suitable entrance for digging according to the instrument data and calculation results after exploration—compared to human beings.

The habits of the dwarves are somewhat different from the usual mining habits of humans. Although everyone in this mine works together, the dwarves are mainly responsible for digging, and the others can probably undertake some carrying work.

Division of labor and cooperation can have better results. This is also an ideal way of cooperation, which can maximize the combination of dwarves' labor and human capabilities, plus the use of some alchemy tools.

In other words, the actual labor content and working hours are different between dwarves and ordinary mine workers.

Not all of them are able to go deep into the mines, dwarves have a special gift, they seem to be born with the ability to distinguish the direction and the situation in the mine, this may be partly caused by their very strong skill level, partly true It's talent.

Therefore, in the mine, a lot of branch passages were dug according to the habit of dwarfs, and Anna didn't ask where they really encountered something wrong, and she didn't know if it was at the place they dug last.

The seven dwarves also need to divide their labor. Some of them need to mine first, and then the others transport all the related high-quality ore out.

But they don't need to be transported to the exit, but to the relatively spacious and cave-like place that Anna has been to before. There is the intersection of the two entrances and exits. There are small tool carts that humans can use. Just load the minerals onto human carts and let other human miners carry them out.

It is roughly such a process, but because they have dug a lot of underground mines, in addition to their latest "exploited" openings, they may also intentionally provide some other mines that are suitable for human miners to dig. point.

In the eyes of the dwarves, mines and ores are more important than anything else.

Every day before mining, they go through all the passages in their own mines, and then dig some of the passages forward, some on the basis of their own digging, and some on the basis of human mining.

Anna walked through the third passageway, feeling more and more inexplicable.

Her luck didn't seem to be very good. She was the first to go to the "main mine" where the dwarves moved forward, which produced the highest quality hematite. To promote the mining at that location, other places belong to relatively less sophisticated cores. If you are happy, you will dig a little bit, and if you are not happy, leave it to human workers to dig.

For particularly difficult openings, such as places where there are hard rocks blocking the way, they will consider whether to dig.

Sometimes, there may be good ore behind the rocks, and sometimes it is a waste of effort. This kind of work is usually done by dwarfs. It will be very hard for human miners to do it. It is better for dwarves to use their special tool, it can be done at once.

After thinking about it, Anna still activated the skill. When [Little Lucky] was activated, although there was no intuitive difference, Anna just felt that she was different now.

It should be a big difference from an African chieftain to a little European, right?

Exit the third passage, the fourth is the main mining site she checked just now, and then she walked towards the fifth.

This tunnel seems to be a bit narrower than the others, looks like they just dug a new one, haven't even had time to widen the tunnel, but barely accommodates an adult miner with no problem, just maybe transporting ore It will be harder when it is time, but it is okay for Anna.

After walking for a while, about 3 minutes, she gradually felt that the passage became wider.

Anna tentatively touched the surrounding mine walls with her hands. Because the mine was relatively new and had been deeply mined, there was no wooden structure to ensure its stability.

"It seems a little different?"

Ana tried to cast an identification on the wall, but without a doubt, she couldn't find anything.

She cannot identify such metal, soil, ore, and other mixed earth ore walls. The system will default to not excavating it unless she digs a piece out, but this cannot guarantee the effect of identification.

Unless the purity of the soil is very high, or the ore is relatively high-quality, the system will tell her directly that this is "hematite" and can even give an accurate approximate amount of iron content in the description. .

She relied on this to identify the quality of the stones in her mine. At present, the quality of the hematite ore is very good. Once processed, she can definitely get a good finished product.

She asked the construction team to step up to see if they could get the general appearance and drawings of the iron and steel smelting plant and the cement processing plant, which was also the purpose.

Otherwise, they are all piled up in the warehouse, which is strange and meaningless. It always seems to be holding a treasure and not knowing how to use it, or the pearl is dusty in the hand, although subjectively the ore certainly does not have such an idea.

Anna continued to walk inside for a while.

Sure enough, her perception was not an illusion.

The soil here seems to have a lower iron content, or it is not a hematite mine, but the soil is a little loose, like a kind of sand of unknown composition.

She frowned slightly, reached out to touch it, and wrapped it in paper again, planning to go back and use alchemy materials for identification, but she always felt something was wrong.

Anna glanced at the system again, but there was no useful news, but on the other hand, the map of the system was still available here. She looked carefully for a while, and suddenly found that according to the description of the accurate map, the place she is currently in is The problem is probably under the woods—

It was the place where she first dealt with the group of wild boar monsters, about half a kilometer away from this location.

Because that was the place where Anna dealt with Warcraft for the first time, and she asked the people to clean up all the trees there, which means that she also did some reclamation and logging work on that area.

It is said here whether it is far or near, but she did not think of this fourth passage. She walked for a few minutes and ten minutes. After doing this, she walked a straight-line distance between two points, just right. Came here.

Anna felt weird, and she became more and more cautious.

Slowing down, she suddenly felt a little strange in the increasingly spacious mine tunnel.

To the end of the road, just half a kilometer from there.

Here, the dwarves did not continue to dig, some soil and ore were piled up here, the space was much larger, and there was a small cart used by the dwarves, which was filled with about half of the ore.

Anna pawed and wiped the ashes all over her body, but she didn't find anything wrong.

This place can accommodate four to five adults. It is more than enough for Anna to stand here alone, and she doesn't feel that there is nothing to breathe in the space.

"Is there something wrong?"

Anna thought to herself that a little luck might be at work here.

Just before entering this passage, activate the little lucky skill.

Anna doesn't need to trust her intuition, but she trusts the system's skill effects, because compared to this world, this is almost an unshakable rule.

The system comes from the game, and the game is part of the framework of the world, the rules or rules of the world.

Anna stared at the shovel next to the trolley for a while, then suddenly stepped forward, picked up the thing identified as [Dwarf's Mining Shovel], and then pointed at a certain place, digging directly.

[Dwarf's Mining Shovel - Alchemy Item]

Health bar: none

Blue bar: none

Description: The dwarf's shovel belongs to only one of the seven dwarfs. It will have different alchemy effects when used by the seven dwarfs. For people of other races, this is just a small one. Uncomfortable mining shovel.The remaining effects are to be explored.

Anna faced the side that blocked the road at the end of this passage, and went down shovel by shovel at the place where the most dirt and stones were piled up under the corner.

The dwarf's shovel is a bit small for her. Although Anna is not yet an adult, her figure has basically reached the appearance of an adult woman, and she is relatively tall among girls. The only thing that is not fully developed is probably her breasts. , not to the enviable degree that other women could call "sexy," but not that bad either.

Holding the shovel, Anna's physical strength was exhausted faster than expected.

She quickly realized that because she was using a dwarf's shovel, on the one hand, it was difficult to use, and on the other hand, this shovel is more or less an alchemy tool, so it must have its own special place. One of its special features, of course, is that it doesn't limit the use of others.

"what?"

After digging with more than a dozen shovels, Anna's movements were considered slow.

But after pulling away the soil here, she suddenly found that after the mound of soil piled up here was removed, the back was actually empty!

Anna was startled, and realized that she had put layers of physical and magical protection on herself, and reconfirmed the equipment she was wearing and its bonus effects again.

Then, she slowly removed these slightly hard clods.

It may have been dug here by the dwarves, but for some reason, they soon covered the small hole with other loose earth and ore.

Fortunately, this side is similar to the end wall of the "wall". Not only is it not solid, but the soil of this wall is much looser than the surrounding soil.

Because Anna is not an experienced miner in the mine, she didn't notice the difference at the first time, but now she has reacted.

"The soil is different," she said.

Anna hesitated for a while, and finally widened the hole, digging a hole not much bigger than a dog's hole, and then couldn't go any further with all her strength.

【Ding--】

[The system prompts that the dwarf's shovel has reached the limit of your temporary use and cannot be used any longer. 】

Anna was taken aback, and continued to poke the hole three times with the shovel in disbelief, trying to scrape off a little soil or shovel away some rocks. She exhausted so much energy, why?

The system wasn't polite to her either, it didn't show any tolerance at all, and slapped her three times in a row.

【Ding--】

[The dwarf's shovel has reached its limit and cannot be used. 】

……

【Ding--】

[The dwarf's shovel has reached its limit and cannot be used. 】

【Ding--】

[The dwarf's shovel has reached its limit and cannot be used. 】

"..."

Anna insulted the system passionately again, and fell into a brief and embarrassing silence towards the dog hole.

Then, she could only silently put the shovel aside, and then lay down.

Anna first looked inside from the entrance of the cave. It was dark and hard to see, as if it was all ore.

So she threw two round and worthless lighting stones over there. She kept a lot of these stones along the way, and distributed them to the dwarves so that they could use this unnatural alchemy tool lighting stone to illuminate.

As for the blue lighting stone that she suddenly found on the mermaid's side, it was natural and not a price.

Originally, the alchemy lighting stone was made by imitating the natural ones, but the natural ones are rarer and rarer, and the game once advertised that this stone will have miraculous effects under certain conditions, so Anna collected so many at once, even though the "miracle effect" was not triggered , but the collection hobby is still satisfied.

Speaking of the Mermaid Prince——

I don't know if he got away with it.

Anna was really in a hurry, and didn't follow up on the altar. The cavalry from the temple and the king's city went to capture the key figures of the evil cult. I don't know if the mermaid prince's heart was dug out as a sacrifice. .

Maybe after she goes back, she will be able to understand the situation, but to be honest, she is not very optimistic personally.

The mermaid prince's eyes were already very clear at that time, and he had almost entrusted his last wish to her.

Although Anna currently doesn't have any ability to go to Atlanta to inform his family, and this mermaid prince is not as simple as Mr. Silver Coin, he even deliberately set up an illusion test for her at the end——

Although it didn't bother her, and even the test was very funny, but on the other hand, the other party kept silent and counted on her actions, which made her a little unhappy. Of course, Anna could understand his attempt intellectually, and knew that it was because of some unpleasant experiences. It's a good thing, he is worried that the greedy nature of human beings will break the contract and it is understandable.

That is, I suddenly realized that such a good-looking mermaid is not so silly and cute on the outside, but even though she speaks slowly, she is a little cautious...

Anna sighed again, because she couldn't see anything over there from the hole, even with the illuminated stone, she could only crawl through the dog hole with difficulty.

"Speaking of which, I don't know why Mr. Silver Coin has a special mermaid scale? Is that color really common?"

Anna thought to herself, looked up, and was taken aback for a moment.

On the other side of the mine wall, there are not many mines and ores as she imagined, but a very open space, and at a position about three meters high, there are actually a lot of murals painted on those walls, but absolutely Most of the murals have some wear and tear, nothing like the very bright colors and patterns she saw in the altar before.

Anna looked around. The area of ​​the murals here is very small. If you want to compare it with the previous ones, it is probably the "big brother". There is at most one "little brother" here. There are only about three pieces of content, and there are many worn out places, the average viewable area may be only three to a quarter of what it actually is.

On the far right side of the mural, Anna squinted her eyes, and saw that there seemed to be something filled there, and the ore soil seemed a little different.

She hesitated for a while, then appraised the environment here, and after confirming that it could be used, she summoned her prop [Glorious Angel Six Wings], which is an accessory of a "fashion" prop, a wing, but the use of this There are big restrictions.

Anna only found out about this fashion after she bought it, and this restriction became more "doggy" after entering this world. The more perverted restriction made Anna not even in the mood to appreciate its beauty.

This fashion requires at least three accessories to be worn to trigger each effect, but what is ridiculous is that once any three pieces are worn, part of her attribute bar will be automatically locked because of wearing this.

This is not a little bit of locking, but directly locking three quarters of her skill bar. The item bar will not be affected, but the blood bar, physical speed and other values ​​will be reduced in a straight line.

On average, as long as she wears a three-piece suit, as soon as she activates the fashion effect, she will be directly cut from the full level to around seventy, and her skills will be restricted. It's level fifty...

Therefore, Anna is really speechless about this fashion.

The official statement given by the game in the previous life is that the "fashionable" effect of this fashion is greater than others, and players buy this just to look good in group photos, and this suit will trigger very amazing double or even multiple times in "specific scenes". bonus, so in normal times, its effect is greatly reduced.

Anna didn't know when it would explode into a "god costume", but she only knew that since she received the whole set because of her looks, she never wore it except for a screenshot for a photo.

Moreover, no one wanted this ragged clothes, and the game officials hadn’t made similar things a few times since then, and compensated players who bought a full set, but Anna still hated it.

Anna put on shoes, wings on her back, and a bracelet. The effect of the three-piece suit was activated. She saw that half of her attribute bar was grayed out, but instead, the function of the three-piece suit began to work— —

Anna managed to make herself fly.

But the garbage fashion can only maintain a flight up to four meters, and the time is only 10 minutes.

So, if Anna hadn't received enough compensation at that time, she would really have started to complain about planning to have no horses.

But at this time, this fashion is almost perfect for viewing murals.

Anna shifted her gaze to the mural.

The color of the murals is very light, as if it has suffered some damage or erosion.

But theoretically speaking, the bottom of this kind of mine is directly sealed, just like "digging a tomb". It was relatively sealed before, so how could it be oxidized?

Anna could only get as close as possible to identify it.

Sure enough, it is about the main line and worldview of this world.

But this time, it's about the Seven Heroes.

After the Creation Goddess of the Light Camp created human beings, human beings were in a racially disadvantaged position and were bullied by other races for a long period of time because they did not possess the outstanding natural magical talent of other races, nor did they have a strong and tyrannical body.

Among them, only a few kind-hearted races helped humans.

Including the creatures of the light camp - elves, also includes some other small races, such as dwarves and goblins.

But the dwarves barely make a living by mining. Although they are also low-level, they will not be suppressed by the ancient gods, because the ancient gods are impatient to dig mineral resources by themselves, so they let other dwarves do it.

Therefore, in fact, among the dwarves, there are also people who stand in different camps, and the goblins are also the same, but it is the bright faction that wins in the end.

Although human beings survive hard, after experiencing many hardships, they soon possess special abilities that other races do not possess. They can use their own wisdom to try to imitate the abilities of other races.

For example, the mining of dwarfs, the smelting of goblins, the shooting of elves, and even the magic of gods.

Although they may not be able to do better than those specialized races, they are very united, and each has its own specialties, which is extremely comprehensive.

Moreover, in terms of appearance, they are the closest to the ancient gods. Of course, it does not mean that they are as good-looking as the ancient gods, but comprehensively, they are the "low-level version" of the ancient gods, but the ancient gods are not all They are all like the supreme gods, who are the strongest at birth, and the ancient gods also have a process of slowly developing and becoming more powerful, as do humans.

Therefore, among all the light races, the Goddess of Creation soon first expressed her love and partiality for her own creation.

In the first mural, these stories are described in detail, and how the goddess teaches humans to use magic, especially to understand the elements of light. She will not discriminate against some humans who can use dark elements——

But those people will be expelled by the human group little by little, or in other words, such a little division gradually appeared among the human beings, and the number of people who can use the dark element in this group has gradually increased, and they have gathered together.

Until one day, some of them, not reconciled to being excluded and neglected so unfairly, surrendered angrily to the Dark God.

This part of the mural was a little damaged, and Anna could only see that it was the ruler of the Dark God who took in these humans and made them believers of the Darkness, and they followed the Darkness ever since.

This makes another part of humanity extremely angry.

They betrayed the goddess who created them and became outrageous traitors.

The second picture has a lot of brush and ink, and it is all about how human beings fought with each other at that time.

At this time, the Goddess of Creation has disappeared from the map, and only occasionally will the little ancient gods of other light camps appear to give some help and guidance to humans.

Anna guessed that this story corresponds to what I saw at the altar before. The darkness dominated for a long time, and the Supreme God became the key to make the darkness surpass the light.

But on the other hand, Anna was very irritable and found that this mural might have written the reason for the disappearance of the Goddess of Creation—maybe it was sleeping or something, there should be a description here, but this part is really worn out , to the extent that there is almost no pattern.

Anna also only saw a faint mark of the Goddess of Creation here, but she didn't know what it implied...

She scratched her hair irritably, and it was time to use the wings.

Anna had to land, rubbed her hair, waited for 10 minutes to cool down, and then continued to fly up, identifying it from the back of the second picture.

Something is missing here as well.

But she guessed blindly, combined with the following content, and estimated that what is being said here is probably that with the strength of the darkness and the weakness of the light, finally all the light races have reached the moment of life and death.

At this time, among the human beings who have always stood in the camp of the God of Light, two brothers appeared. They were very brave fighters, and they fought for a certain respite for their respective tribes and people.

Then, their prestige among humans gradually increased, and the two brothers walked around the human race, looking for powerful companions with different abilities, and at the same time, they brought humans together and contacted other races for help.

The races of light have all united to forge weapons for these leaders and warriors.

"Oh oh oh, seven brave men!" Anna nodded and began to identify the people among them, "I don't know which country these two brothers are from, but I know that this very bookish person should be the original leader of the Kingdom of Lore I heard that His Majesty the King is very similar to the original brave man around, and that man is an image of a think tank..."

"Yeah, that's how it should be." Anna was very happy that she had found someone she knew well, and then her hand holding her chin stopped suddenly.

"One, two, three... six, seven..." Anna's eyes widened and her voice changed.

"Eight--"

"?!!!!"

She stood there stupidly, counting the people surrounded by people of all light races over and over again, and then counted one more person over and over again in horror.

"I rely on!"

Because the murals of the weapons forged by the light race for the seven brave human beings have been eroded, she has no way to judge from the number of weapons, let alone what kind of legendary props there are.

"There are eight of the Seven Heroes..." she muttered to herself, "This is really a horror story."

Anna checked her status again, and was very happy to see that her attributes were normal, and she was not prompted by the system that she had been secretly deducted.

"It seems that I am still normal." She swallowed and continued to read.

The seven brave men who got the weapons, no, it was the eight brave men who started to attack the dark camp.

However, except for the first gathering, when all eight people were drawn, at other times, there would always be a few missing, as if they had just been eroded.

Anna was horrified to find that the one she counted out never appeared in the murals behind, but it seemed that he had always existed.

The description in the mural should be that he is a very mysterious and powerful brave man. Although only one silhouette appeared, he was surrounded by other people in a circle, but he is indeed the spiritual leader of all brave men. A special person-

However, the other brave men just don't have a face to face. Anna was also the ancestor of the Kingdom of Lore judged by her attire and occupation just now.

Besides, most of the faded murals are so blurred that it is impossible to see the faces clearly!

"So, why is he gone?!"

Anna continued to look back, and could vaguely see that the braves had made one plan after another, and successfully won many victories with the tenacious seven spirits possessed by all kinds of braves.

"Maybe it's a human mural, so maybe it's a little worse in craftsmanship than other records?"

According to the status of human beings at that time and other circumstances, this is very possible, and it would be good to have records. At least it is the efforts and narration of human beings!

Anna sighed inwardly, and continued to read.

After many battles, the efforts of human beings and the light camp were finally put in the eyes of the ancient gods of the dark camp, and the group of human beings who were traitors also paid the price and were expelled. These people are probably the predecessors of witches and others. .

So they gathered their people and launched an attack on human beings, because there was no goddess of creation, and they didn't pay attention to the light side.

Judging from the murals, the so-called final battle seems to be just a small fight on the side of the Dark God.

On the contrary, here in the light camp, it seems that all the forces have been gathered, and they are ready to succeed or be benevolent.

The final battle took place, but on the eve of the battle—or at the time of the battle?

The description here is very vague, and it is impossible to judge intuitively from the murals. Anyway, the betrayer appeared before or when the battle started.

Only then did Anna realize that it wasn't that she counted wrongly, or that the murals were painted wrong, or even that the pair of brave brothers were regarded as one person, but that among the eight brave men, there appeared a very terrifying betrayer.

Maybe this betrayer is the one that people in later generations have been trying to obscure, and also the eternal pain that all brave men are unwilling to bring up again?

Anyway, it was the mural that indicated that someone had betrayed, and a red X was drawn on it.

Anna stared at the damaged mural here for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled it for a while. Sure enough, after the soil was swept away, there was something hidden inside.

【Ding--】

[System prompt, congratulations on obtaining the ********** map/drawing fragment (1/?), please use it carefully. 】

Anna was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that the system would be so stupid that it would do this for her at such a time, and it didn't even tell what the fragments of the broken linen were, no matter how you looked at it.

Anyway, when she lowered her head and turned it over and over again, she could only see a piece of ordinary or very old linen. Of course, ordinary linen cannot be preserved for such a long time.

Anna didn't want to care about this for the time being, and she didn't know how long it would take to collect the fragments, so she received it in the package and continued to read the mural nervously.

It was obviously not her battle, but she was too involved in "reading the story" and felt very nervous instead.

This time, Anna was silent.

It is written in the mural that the appearance of the traitor made it very difficult for the seven brave men who had a little chance of victory.

But fortunately, at this critical juncture, when all light races are facing the terrible end of destruction, the Goddess of Creation finally appeared again.

Her brilliance was more dazzling than ever before, but her body was weaker than ever before, and then——

The murals are gone.

Anna's eyes widened, wishing she could cut out the broken mural on the spot.

It's really hard to bear the crushing taste of seeing half of this kind of story suddenly disappear.

She has scolded the system and planning back and forth many times in her mind.

Of course, it is not impossible for her to guess the ending, but maybe there are many different contents in it?

In particular, there is no mention of this very reliable eighth partner who has helped the Seven Heroes a lot in any records of later generations.

And this eighth brave man is a betrayer without any records. What will happen to him?Shouldn't it just be intentionally forgotten by everyone?

Logically speaking, if it is a betrayer, especially a betrayer under such circumstances, it should be recorded and cast aside
