Heimarian Odyssey - Chapter 485
[Chapter 486 Rare Earth Mine]
The reserves of radiation stones under the deep pit are numerous, and judging from the current situation, a rich open-pit mine has already been formed.
Locke’s eyes moved slightly, and he wondered if he should tell the news to the people of the Principality of Zelot.
The value of radiation stones can vary depending on the radioactivity that radiation stones can produce. Some palm-sized radiation stones can even affect first- and second-level creatures. None of those types are top-quality radiation stones. .
Regardless of whether there are top-grade radiation stones in the rare earth mine in front of me, the amount alone is enough to make a first-level knight excited.
This is a new mining site comparable to the largest mines in the Principality of Zelot. Locke guessed that the sudden appearance of the smog bear was due to eating the rare earth below, which caused evolutionary mutation.
Locke is no stranger to radiation stones, and Magician Ashaer often uses them in the laboratory to complete some of her witchcraft experiments.
Promoting the passive evolution of creatures is the most common usage of radiation stones, but this evolution is uncontrollable, and knights who also use passive evolution as the mainstream rarely use this shortcut.
After thinking for a moment, Locke decided to tell the Principality of Zelot about this mine and forget it.
Because he didn’t tell, the Principality of Zelot will discover this new mine sooner or later, and he alone has no spare energy to ‘eat’ this rich ore. Mining, transportation, and finding buyers are all problems that need to be faced. It’s not what Locke can do.
It’s not enough to eat alone, and Locke doesn’t intend to be a good person. What should be fished is still to be fished. He helped the Principality of Zelot to solve the hidden dangers of Warcraft, and he also discovered such a rare earth deposit. The Principality of Zelot has to express it.

After crossing his legs and adjusting his breath for a while, Locke put away his spoils and flew to the capital of the Principality of Zelot after his fighting spirit recovered to 30% to 40%.
The dead bear’s corpse is a good thing. Magicians will definitely be interested in this kind of freak with genetic mutations, and they can still sell for a good price if they get the holy tower.
After all, he is still poor. During the ten-year mission period, Locke will not give positive rewards for the missions he completes every year in the Knights Hall. If he wants to continue to improve his strength, he can only rely on the little annual salary he gets, just dream.
With Locke’s current training expenses, just replenishing the total amount of vindictiveness in his body once would absorb the energy in nearly twenty high-level wind spars.
In addition to the usual cost of grudge circulation, use of combat skills, and flying, Locke’s average daily usage of spar is five to seven, which is still when he is not fighting.
Of course, Locke can also maintain it by absorbing the free factors in the air, but if he is used to running in a car, who will walk, and the speed of the turtle is enough, Locke is fed up.
The capital of the Principality of Zelot is called Shaka, a small city with a population of less than 50,000.
In Shaka’s palace, the current Grand Duke Zelot warmly welcomed Locke who had returned from Laren Forest.
Locke’s armor had been replaced with a new set at this time, which made him look less embarrassed, but the bruises on the corners of his mouth and the scars on his arms really made our Grand Duke Zelot take a deep breath.
“Rocke Knight, I don’t know that violent bear…” Grand Duke Zelot asked impatiently.
The raging storm in the Laren Forest has directly affected the normal operation of several rare earth mines on the Laren Heights. If the amount of rare earth tribute to the Omor Empire cannot be completed this year, his position as the Grand Duke will not be so secure .
“I have dealt with that violent bear!” Locke said in a deep voice.
Hearing such good news, Grand Duke Zelot finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a shy smile on his face, like a blooming daisy.
“Hurry up, serve Lord Locke to the apse. I have specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for you.” Grand Duke Zelot greeted several court ladies around the hall.
It can solve the serious problem of the Shimai storm bear, Grand Duke Zelot can sleep peacefully at night now, can he not enshrine Locke as his ancestor.
Locke did not refuse, and accepted the gracious invitation of Grand Duke Zelot.
The longer he has been in this class, the more Locke has adapted to these doorways of the nobles, and now he can accept some of the noble dinner parties that he once resisted.
Of course, most of Locke would not pay attention to the goodwill of Prince Zelot and the courtesies of celebrities and ladies at the banquet. He was rushing to eat, and he fought with Shimai Storm Bear in Laren Forest for two days and one night. Not to mention the exhaustion of battle qi, the stomach is hungry first.
During the banquet, Locke was not a blind foodie. When his stomach was 60% to 70% full, Locke smiled and went to talk to Grand Duke Zelot with an excuse, leaving nearly forty empty plates behind him.
The court ladies serving Locke didn’t show much surprise. The General Warren in the principality was often invited by the Grand Duke to the palace to attend dinners. The general Warren also had an amazing appetite, and they had long been used to it.
I just thought this was a common feature of powerful knights.
Locke came with a glass of wine, Grand Duke Zelot immediately left a certain nobleman who was talking to him, walked three steps at a time, and greeted him graciously.
There are too many people here, and it is inconvenient for Locke to talk with Grand Duke Zelot in detail. After winking at the fat man, Grand Duke Zero nodded and took Locke to a side hall next to the main hall.
After entering the side hall, Locke squinted his eyes and looked around, and said to several attendants who followed in, “You go out first, I have something to talk to the Grand Duke.”
Several attendants looked at Grand Duke Zelot, and the fat man waved his hand and said, “Go out, go out, with the Locke knight here, will I be in any danger?”
Locke glanced at the fat man appreciatively. The fat man was quite a character, and he wasn’t worried that Locke would harm him at all.
In fact, Grand Duke Zelot knew clearly in his heart that the only official knight in the principality had left. If a first-level strongman sincerely wanted to harm him, it would be difficult for him to survive even if he hid in the deepest secret vault of the principality. It would be better to live freely.
Facts have proved that he is correct. Although General Warren has left Zelot for several years, the surrounding kingdom forces that have conflicts with the Principality of Zelot have not really sent first-class knights to assassinate him.
Assassinating a duke of a principality is meaningless, if one is killed, a new one will be commissioned soon.
Commissioned by whom?
By the Omor Empire, by the Knights Palace behind the Omor Empire.
After all, this is a world of strength. The Knights’ Palace is the most violent institution on the current Misia continent, and the Omor Empire is its biggest spokesperson.
“I don’t know what you want me to do, my lord?” Grand Duke Zelot wiped the sweat from his forehead with a silk towel and said.
Fat people are prone to sweating, and this Grand Duke Zelot is even more hollowed out by wine and sex. He usually keeps an imperial silk scarf in his hand.
Seeing this, Locke was not in a hurry to talk about the rare earth mine, but put down a brocade box, which contained a bright red blood essence that was very eye-catching.
“Thank you, my lord.” Grand Duke Zerot just glanced at it and knew that this blood essence was worth a lot, so he hurriedly thanked him.
The blood essence is really good for Locke. From a first-level knight to an ordinary human, this blood essence can play a good role in warming and nourishing the body.
Among other things, this blood essence can at least help Grand Duke Zelot make up part of his lost body.
It’s a pity that the number of blood essences is running out. Up to now, there are only two or three left on Locke’s body. Locke wondered if he should find a chance to go to Saka Grassland to trade some.
In some large tribes, a certain amount of precious materials such as blood essence are traded every year.
Stop talking about gossip, Locke and Grand Duke Zelot started talking about business.
“Rare earth mine?” Grand Duke Zelot’s eyes widened. No one knew better than him what a new rare earth mine meant to the Principality.
“My lord, can you tell me about the reserves of that mine?” The fat man asked impatiently, he was more interested in the news from Locke’s mouth than the precious and unusual blood essence.
“It’s an open-pit mine. It’s just under the pit where I fought the Shiqi storm bear. There should be a lot of reserves. The radioactivity of the radiation stone can have a certain impact on me.” Locke said.
“As for the specific number, you can send professional personnel to investigate.”
“Okay, okay.” Grand Duke Zelot excitedly wiped the sweat that appeared from time to time on his forehead.
If it can have an effect on a first-level knight, the reserves of rare earth mines must be astonishing without even thinking about it. Grand Duke Zelot still has this common sense.
“I want 30% of the proceeds of that rare earth mine.” Locke then said in a tone of intolerance.
When Grand Duke Zelot heard this, he didn’t immediately refuse, but thought about it. After all, this rare earth mine was discovered by this first-level knight, and the strength of the first-level knight is where he needs to think carefully.
Locke didn’t have much time for him to think about it. When Locke was about to force him to make a statement, Grand Duke Zelot gritted his teeth and said, “Okay!”
30% of the income, Locke is still a bit conscientious. The income from this rare earth mine does not belong to the Principality of Zelot. According to Locke’s estimate, 60% of the annual rare earth income of the Kingdom of Zelot will be handed over to the Omor Empire and the Knights Palace. , and the remaining 40% maintain the survival needs of their domestic people.
Yes, in this country where there are rare earth mines underground, because of the high radiation on the surface, few crops can survive. Seventy percent of the living rations for hundreds of thousands of people in the Principality of Zelot come from the southern Omor Empire, and 20% come from the surrounding areas. The kingdom imports, only 10% is self-sufficient.
