Chapter 235 Mithril Mine
"Is it called Lip Town?"
"I think about it, it seems to be Huoshuijing Town."
"That's right. Lip is the living well in the native language. We are also rushing there, and we will reach Lip Town in one day. You can travel slowly, maybe you will catch up in one or two days. Let's talk to me about your situation first."
Jacques then explained the situation here, including his exploration of mental power.
Fat Ju sighed and said, "You are all uneasy lately. The situations you encounter are outside the scope of my emperor's knowledge. It seems that I have read too few books!"
Jacques said strangely, "Oh? What problems did they encounter?"
Fatty Ju said: "Fabian's is not a big deal, mainly Emma. Do you still remember the evil ghost in Benafort Manor? Emma has acquired its abilities, only part of it, absorbing the source energy skill of life."
Of course, Jacques was deeply impressed by that ghost. Its ability to absorb life skills can kill the master!
Fat Ju continued: "That night the rebels attacked the camp, Emma used that skill to kill more than a dozen rebels. When I found them, the scene... Did you faint at that time? Tsk tsk, anyway, the dry corpses on the ground, and then Emma was subdued by Alisha. When I took them to find you, you had been taken away by the rebels."
"Alisha has controlled Emma?"
"That's right! After Emma used the sucking life, her consciousness was chaotic and she became indistinguishable from the enemy. She killed more than a dozen rebels, and even the captured guys were sucked into humans. Fortunately, Alixia used the skills taught by Lei to calm her down, and she gradually recovered from the sanity. Anyway, you remember that these two girls can easily repair you in the future. Come on, yourself!" said Fat Ju.
Jacques immediately remembered the method of thunder to temper his own mental clone, which was to use a source energy skill called "Yuan Lei Shen Refining", which was also one of his sixteen inherited source energy skills. It was able to awaken Emma, who was confused about consciousness, perhaps this move could act as the effect of the source energy skill of consciousness.
So he hurriedly asked, "Did Alixia use the 'Yuan Lei Shen Refining'?"
"Wait until tomorrow morning, I will ask her."
"I was thinking maybe Lily and Alixia used the Yuan Lei Shen Refining on me to train my mental clone and improve my mental power..."
"Try this again. You must be careful in the past two days and wait for us to pick you up..."
...
Jacques spent two more nights as usual, and Pang Ju and the others were getting closer and closer to the team. By noon that day, there were only a few dozen miles left on both sides.
According to the advice given by Jacques, they were about to follow the captive team, waiting for it to dark, Jacques summon Fat Juice to his side, and then Fat Juice destroys Jacques' wooden shackles.
Then Jacques opened the space rift and took Mark to the simple tent to save Vanessa.
Finally, they passed through the space rift and met with the people lurking nearby and left together.
Although this plan will expose Jacques' space rift skills to some people, it is a relatively safe way.
As long as Jacques did not alarm the guards in the temporary camp, they would rush to escape overnight. When the rebels found Vanessa missing tomorrow morning, it would be too late to chase after her.
The two masters Paul and Tudik can add a layer of insurance to the entire action.
The plan is detailed, just waiting for the night!
In the afternoon, the team escorting the prisoners passed by a small town again, but the team did not stop. They passed through the town and headed into the valley next to them.
Entering the valley entrance, Jacques discovered that there was a mining area in the valley.
The trees on the mountain have been cut down, and a huge pit can be seen from a distance on the bare land, set off by bare hills on all sides, making the pit more profound and huge.
Mark immediately recognized the place and said, "Ah, we have arrived at the mine in Dead Wood Valley! Woody...ah, no, it is now called Kingsley No. 1. This is the largest Mithril mine that has been discovered in the Delano Mountains!"
Jacques asked, "Oh? Kingsley's mine?"
Mark corrected him: "Hehe, it's now the mine of the Independence Army."
Then Mark said, "It seems they are going to lock us up here! Indeed, this is the most powerful place for their defense."
Jacques whispered to him: "What a coincidence, I planned to slip away tonight."
...
On the other hand, after receiving the message from Marian, Tudick also sighed: "If they were really locked up in Kingsley's First Mine, it would be a bit troublesome for us to rescue him. It is not enough to have only two masters, Paul and me. The rebels have stationed here for a long time, and there are four masters in my team of escorting the prisoners with the secret line. In short, there may be ten masters there.
Moreover, before approaching the mining area, we should hide first to avoid being discovered by patrolling rebels.
We cannot let anyone find out that we are all imperial people. In other places, we can also explain that we are caravans entering the mountainous areas for trade. However, outsiders are not allowed to approach the mining area. Any indigenous people who see us will expose us."
Marian avoided Tudike just now and listened to Fat Ju's report. He immediately realized that the plan had to change. He heard Tudike's words and looked even more solemn.
Everyone immediately listened to Tudaike's advice, left the main road, and walked the mountain path to the Kingsley Mine.
Tudaik wrote the situation into a secret letter, tied it to the raven she carried with her, released the raven, and passed the message to Mayor Hoffa.
...
The team escorted the prisoners into the mining area. The closer they got to the mine, the more shocked Jacques were by its size.
The mine is a huge spiral round hole. The diameter of the hole on the ground is at least five miles, covering almost the valley ground, so that the miners' housing, warehouses and ore treatment fields are built on the hillside.
The destination of Jacques and others is miners’ housing on the hillside. It is said to be housing, but in fact it is just caves dug up on the hard rocky mountain.
Standing at the edge of the mine, what I saw was a specially built spiral downward passage. It penetrated deep into the ground, but I couldn't see the bottom of the pit at a glance.
The wind formed a cyclone at the entrance of the mine, and it seemed that there was a suction force to suck everything around the edge of the pit into the bottom of the dark hole.
The captives were locked up in several caves, with more than ten people imprisoned in each narrow cave, and a guard was set up at the door.
For Jacques, this was not good news, because he couldn't figure out where Vanessa was imprisoned.
When it was time for supper, the captives were not released from the cave, but instead the rebels sent food and water into the cave, which broke the plan for Jacques to take the opportunity to receive supper to find Vanessa's detention location.
Unable to find Vanessa, he did not dare to act rashly tonight, and Jacques was upset at this time.
There is a wooden compartment in the cave with a toilet, which is the toilet. Unfortunately, it is not sealed. The whole room has eaten the dry bread distributed with the smell.
After a while, a rebel pushed the door and looked around, then pointed at Jacques and said, "You go and bring the toilet and follow me."
Mark stood up and said, "He has a leg injury and is inconvenient to walk. Let me do it."
