Victor stared at the two Turquoise white minerals on the table with a frown.

Nelson has reported to him. Today, when Gru led his team on a guard mission, they caught three sneaky free people outside the forest and found two minerals hidden in them,

After Nelson\'s trial, the three free people explained the reason for the matter.

It turned out that the three were members living in a free private land in the west of Victor territory. They usually depended on collection and hunting. Just two days ago, their camp was broken by a group of jackal robbers, and most of the people in the camp were taken away by the jackals. The three of them narrowly escaped, but without camp and companions, they could not survive in the wild. So they want to join another large liberal camp in this territory. In order to smoothly join the free camp, they also brought two strange minerals as gifts to the leader of the free camp, hoping to get his shelter.

"Nelson, do you think this is Mithril ore?" Victor looked at Nelson with a tangled face.

Mithril is an extremely precious metal in the world. It has element affinity characteristics that other metals do not have. Weapons and armor mixed with Mithril can more easily adhere to the four elements.

Scholars of the silver and white tower have done detailed research. They found that the secret silver equipment enables the Silver Knight to stimulate more than three times the element strength than ordinary equipment, which is an overwhelming advantage.

This advantage makes all high-level Knights rush for secret silver equipment. The first problem to be solved for each Knight promoted to silver level is how to obtain a set of secret silver equipment.

Unfortunately, the output of Mithril is very low, which leads to the extremely expensive price of Mithril. A piece of Mithril can be exchanged for 30 times the weight of gold.

However, even with such exaggerated prices, it is often impossible to buy secret silver, because no nobles are willing to sell such strategic materials.

"My Lord, it looks very much like the secret silver mine in appearance and color." Nelson also looked sad.

If an ordinary Lord knows that there is a secret silver mine in his territory, he will wake up even if he dreams, but for Victor, this is a big trouble, because his strength is too weak now.

"Sir, do you want to get rid of those three people?" As a mercenary rolling on the tip of a knife, Nelson has a cruel side.

"It\'s no use. We don\'t know how many survivors there are in that free people camp."

After thinking about it carefully, Victor shook his head firmly, sighed and then said, "go and call master Edwin and knight Bruce. You know, if it\'s really a secret silver mine, we can\'t keep it at all."

Nelson nodded, got up and went out. Although he was unwilling, he also knew that Victor\'s decision was correct. It was better to seek cooperation from the York family because he faced the risks brought by the secret silver mine alone. Even if he could not get the secret silver, he could get compensation in other aspects.

After a while, the door of the barracks was pushed open and a black bird flew in first.

This is a big crow with dark and shiny feathers and dark red eyes. When it saw Victor, it immediately flapped its wings and landed on Victor\'s shoulder, and gently pecked Victor\'s hair with its hard beak.

Victor looked at the crow, who showed his closeness and flattery, and couldn\'t help smiling.

This is the first alchemical creature produced by King Tallinn for him. Victor witnessed the whole manufacturing process.

At that time, in the air above the stone cave altar, four runes of different colors first appeared. These four runes continued to rotate, and gradually hundreds of runes of different forms were derived. These runes continued to rotate around the four initial runes, forming a brilliance intertwined with earth yellow, fire red, sky blue and green on the altar.

In these lights, the body of a bird slowly appeared. An hour later, an alchemical crow opened his eyes on the altar, and the runes in the void gradually dissipated.

When he just got the alchemy crow, Victor wanted to test the ability of the alchemy crow immediately. However, in order not to make people suspicious, he had to resist his impulse, use a few days to attract the surrounding birds to feed by constantly throwing bait on the ground, and mix his alchemy crow with the birds.

Finally, everyone thought that Victor recovered a bold and greedy crow as a pet in the process of feeding birds.

Through these days of observation and experiments, Victor was surprised to find that this alchemical creature worth 50 gold sols was not simple.

First of all, the alchemical crow has a concept of time, which can accurately appear in the time period of Victor\'s daily feeding. Having a concept of time means that this alchemical creature has memory and intelligence.

Secondly, it has a strong mobility, a keen sense of smell, vision and hearing, and is far superior to ordinary humans. It can fly at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, smell the smell 20 kilometers away, see Victor\'s gestures at an altitude of hundreds of meters, and hear the voice of human conversation at a distance of hundreds of meters.

Finally, it also has a strong ability to imitate different voices, including human dialogue.

Victor did an experiment. When Gru led the team to carry out the investigation task, he smelled the items left by Gru to the alchemical crow. According to the method taught by taling, he made a special gesture to the crow. The crow immediately flew out and followed the smell to start tracking Gru.

About two hours later, the crow flew back. In front of Victor, it expressed the results of its investigation to Victor through different flying postures and calls.

The target is 40 kilometers away from here, Southeast, a small group of people.

After the information was expressed, the guy even imitated what Gru said.

For example, "each of us can get 11 work points for today\'s task." "How many times have you taught your boy? After shit in the wild, remember to bury it." "I don\'t know how to die!"

The test results proved to Victor that the alchemical crow is a very excellent investigation unit. It can describe the investigation results through preset actions and imitate the eavesdropping sound.

Although most of the imitations are disordered words, if these alchemical crows move in groups, it is not difficult for people to analyze valuable information in these disordered words.

The excellent performance of the alchemy crow makes Victor look forward to other alchemy creatures. It\'s just that there is one more bird to explain, but how can one more living man or one more ferocious animal be covered?

Victor had to wait, at least until Bruce and Edwin left the territory.

"The moon ELF\'s blood is indeed a natural affinity blood. Even animals are close to you." Master Edwin came in and saw that the crow was close to victor. He said with envy and envy.

Since Edwin found that the pet crow can imitate human language, he suddenly became interested. These two days, he has been feeding the crow with dried fruit, wheat and dried meat, trying to abduct it.

Unfortunately, in the face of scholars\' sugar coated shells, big crows always eat sugar coated shells and throw them back. As soon as he saw Victor, he would immediately leave Edwin and fly directly to his master, which made the old scholar very angry.

"Master Edwin, Knight Bruce, you\'re here."

Victor stood up, smiled and nodded to the two people who came in one after another. He could only laugh at the misunderstanding of the old scholar.

"There\'s something I want you to see." Victor drove out the crow resting on his shoulder and handed two pieces of ore to them respectively.

After receiving the ore, the Bruce Knight\'s expression suddenly coagulated. He looked at Victor with burning eyes and asked tentatively, "secret silver mine?"

Victor showed his uncertainty to the Bruce knight, and then the whole room looked brightly at master Edwin.

If this is really a secret silver mine, it is definitely a big event for the whole Renma hill.

"Unfortunately, this is not a secret silver mine." After careful examination, master Edwin loosened his frown.

"This is soft silver mine. Its color is very similar to secret silver mine, but it has an elasticity that other ores don\'t have. Just pinch it in your hand." Edwin explained.

The Bruce Knight immediately squeezed the ore in his hand, and sure enough, he left several obvious fingerprints on the surface of the ore.

"Master, is this the fake silver ore in the rumors?" Bruce regretfully threw the ore on the table and asked Edwin.

"Yes, it is a fake silver ore that is often used by swindlers to pretend to be a secret silver ore." Edwin nodded.

The color and shape of soft silver mine are very similar to that of secret silver mine. Some people often mistake soft silver mine for secret silver mine. However, the metal extracted from soft silver ore is soft like sludge, which can not be used to forge equipment, and there is no element affinity. Therefore, soft silver has no value to human beings, so people call it fake silver.

Victor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had some regrets, Victor had an alchemy tower in his hand. As long as he was given time to bury his head in development, what was a mere secret silver mine?

If it is really a secret silver mine, it will be a big trouble for victor. Maybe even his territory will be replaced by a powerful aristocratic group. At that time, he can\'t move the alchemy tower away.

"Although softsilver is worthless, there is an associated crystal in its vein, which can be processed into exquisite jewelry. It is also a good income for your territory."

Edwin tried to comfort the "lost" little Lord, and then asked, "where did you find this soft silver mine?"

"Today, Nelson caught three free people peeping into the camp and found these two minerals on them."

Victor then gave Bruce and Edwin a detailed description of the jackals attacking the free people and the large free camps in the territory.

"Victor, jackals are insignificant, but free people are a big problem in your territory. You must pay attention to this. Do you have more detailed information?" Bruce said seriously to Victor when he heard that there was a large free private land in the territory.

"According to the accounts of these three people, at present, there are two large free camps and several sporadic small camps in the territory. I estimate that the total number of free people is 800." Nelson got a sign from Victor and said to Bruce.

"These two large camps are located in the east of the territory and at the junction of count chebman. The free people in this camp are very exclusive. They never communicate with other free camps and kill strangers close to their camp, so the three people don\'t know much about that camp."

"Another camp is in our northeast corner. The number of free people should be about 300. They have spared no effort to take in the free people who went to take refuge, and often exchange materials with other free private places, so their reputation is very loud among these free people."

"The leader of the camp is Bayer. It is said that he once served in dodo, participated in the battle of Whitewater castle against the Sassanian, and obtained a heroic sword. Bayer seems to want people to publicize his bravery everywhere. The three free people just want to take minerals to join him."

After hearing Nelson\'s narration, Bruce said with a sneer: "a year ago, when our family guards came to clean up this territory, they also found the free people camp. At that time, they only had dozens of people. Unexpectedly, they controlled so many people in just one year. Hehe, this Bayer is a little interesting."

"It\'s time to meet this Bayer." Victor blinked and whispered.
