Chapter 852: No Chaos
The results obtained by the large number of investigation teams sent by Xiao Yu's Black Guards were just as the witch said.
What they found were abandoned places in the eyes of the extraordinary forces where the mineral veins were drained.
But for Xiao Yu, these abandoned places are also treasures!
The extraordinary forces of the Saint Continent abandoned them because the residual minerals in the soil were too few, and the cost of mining was so high that they could lose everything.
But the cost of manpower and material resources did not exist for Xiao Yu.
A single-person excavator was enough to pack up all the soil, including the stone hills and vegetation on it, in one day.
The manpower and material resources saved by the power of this machine alone were enough to replace the work of tens of thousands of extraordinary people and even wizards for a whole year.
What's more, Xiao Yu got a fool-proof version of small-scale smelting equipment from the official through Kunlun's intrusion, which could perform preliminary processing on these ores.
Some precious materials that can be directly smelted and separated at high temperature can be directly refined by Xiao Yu in large quantities.
And some require mana assistance.
Xiao Yu focused his attention on the miscellaneous cultivators on the overseas fairy islands.
The mana they usually obtained from meditation was idle, so Xiao Yu happily added a course for them to use mana to separate substances in their next homework.
The props to be used are naturally the large amount of ores produced by the Saint Continent that have been initially processed.
"At present, we have only explored the Jinmu Kingdom and several nearby kingdoms where there are no Saint Lords stationed."
"Even so, we have found as many as 300 areas worth mining."
"This shows the prosperity of the Saint Continent in the past."
When reporting to Xiao Yu, the wizard Enodia couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned these.
Speaking of cherishing extraordinary resources, the Saint Continent is indeed profound.
No wonder it can cultivate so many extraordinary wizards.
Even though it is obviously not making enough money now, talented people cannot be cultivated.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Saint Continent is like this now, it can be squeezed out of oil by the new technology of the City of Miracles.
"Good news."
Xiao Yu also read the report provided by the Enodia wizard. Combined with the summary of the Black Guard, he said with satisfaction: "Based on the current exploration area, the precious minerals mined can at least meet the needs of tens of thousands of extraordinary people."
"And I saw that there are especially many silver stones. Even if the ratio is very different, the absolute number will not be small with such a large amount."
"Yes." The Enodia wizard responded quickly: "Silver stone is an important neutralizing material."
"After obtaining this batch of silver stones, we can enchant all armor and weapons."
"Also... it can also provide the materials needed for painting the warships required by His Highness."
"Painting, can my super-large interstellar battleship finally add a little progress to the construction?"
Xiao Yu fantasized and looked at the Saint's Lu said: "I learned from the black guards that something big seems to have happened to the Holy Lord clan, and they are strategically retreating?"
"Yes, Your Highness." The Enodia wizard nodded and whispered: "Several noble forces we contacted secretly revealed that after the defeat in the battle with us."
"Many talented disciples of the Holy Lord clan were attacked by the abyss monsters."
"Many disciples hiding in secret realms were found and attacked by the abyss monsters."
"We don't know the specific losses, but I heard that the elders of the Holy Lord clan would be extremely angry. Many families were even exterminated by the army of the Holy Lord clan just because they were suspected of colluding with the abyss monsters."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yu blinked, but he didn't expect that when he went home happily to show off.
The mess left behind actually gave the abyss an opportunity.
According to the information obtained from the abyss nobles, the favorite routine of the abyss is undoubtedly to tempt the pride of each continent to fall.
Of course, if the means in secret don't work.
It is normal for the strong men of the abyss to attack the other party, knock them unconscious and bring them back to the abyss to slowly corrupt and degenerate.
Especially the son of destiny who was selected by the continental consciousness as the reserve of the Morning Star Wizard.
It is an important target for the abyss to fight for.
It is said that those who can make such a son of destiny degenerate can be directly promoted to the abyss nobles. Those who are already abyss nobles are very likely to be favored by the abyss and directly become the lord of the abyss!
Xiao Yu thought about it, and out of curiosity, he decided to say hello to the Saint Lord clan of the Saint Continent and ask them if they have protected the son of destiny!
…………
In the secret realm of the Saint Lord clan.
At this moment, it is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
Many women and children have red eyes, mourning for their missing relatives.
In the elders' residential area, in a secret room hidden underground.
The third elder ended his meditation and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Bang!
The blood clot hit the ground and immediately turned into a ball of purple flesh, with tentacles emerging from the flesh and madly exploring the surroundings.
"Abyss!"
The third elder's face changed slightly, and he immediately waved his hand to release a flame, burning the flesh into charcoal.
However, seeing this scene, the third elder knew that after escaping from the giant, he was attacked by the abyss strongman and implanted with the abyss alien!
If... I hadn't met the giant, and my mind hadn't been severely damaged by that terrifying monster!
There was no way that the abyss alien could infect me!
Everything, everything was the giant's fault!
The third elder panted rapidly, realizing that he was infected, and deep in his heart, under the strange will of the abyss, he began to vent his anger on the giant.
"Damn it!"
The third elder stood up, moved his fists, and slammed on the wall, making a loud rumbling sound.
Under the loud noise, the third elder was slightly startled, looking at the slowly recovering wall in surprise.
The walls of this secret room are all special creations. Under normal circumstances, his power cannot hurt the wall.
At this time, he directly hit two deeply concave fist marks.
What is this?
Under the gaze of the abyss, the increase obtained?
"I..."
The third elder opened his mouth, but didn't say it after all. Instead, he comforted himself a few times that he could definitely control this power for his own use and would definitely not fall, and then walked out of the secret room.
When he came outside, the third elder immediately noticed something unusual.
After a little thought, he found that the abnormality came from the colleagues who were chatting and laughing around him.
These colleagues had a familiar aura... the aura from the abyss!
Although they were all like him, as if they had learned how to hide this aura by nature.
However, this aura could not be hidden from the same kind.
The corners of the third elder's mouth twitched slightly.
The duty of the elder made him want to speak this secret out loud.
But... after realizing that at least two-thirds of the colleagues infected with the abyss aura were members of his faction.
After hesitating for a while, he chose to remain silent.
"As long as the next generation of Morning Star Wizards is born, everything will be fine."
"It will definitely be fine."
"Before that, I have to make good use of this power and the power of those people to obtain more resources for our candidates!"
"The alien world is invading, and the abyss is in chaos."
"Now is the critical moment! The great elder will definitely not be able to stop our request, open the treasure of the Holy Lord clan, and catalyze the Morning Star Wizard in advance!"
"At this critical moment, I must not panic!"
