The devil's whisper is not uncommon for the residents of the underground world.

The reason why the underground world is very dangerous is that it is because of geographical reasons or too close to some chaotic semi-planes, and a monster will come over to destroy it at any time; or simply be neighbors with the Abyss Purgatory. Occasionally, there is a devil singing in your ears and it is not uncommon to meet a demon who only knows how to kill madly, and it is also a daily life of life and death in the sky with both eyes...

Under such conditions, the laws of survival in the dark world often seem very cruel.

Of course, before Xu Nan identified Anonymous City underground, he had already gained a deep understanding of the characteristics of the underground world.

In addition to cruelty and darkness, there is another important characteristic, which is to bully the weak and fear the strong.

The villains who can survive in the underground world are all a little brainy. As long as Xu Nan hugs his thighs tightly and does not relax, and under the banner of Stephen San, he can show his muscles appropriately. Generally speaking, there will be no brainless experience for babies to come to see him off.

There are many people who are troubled by so-called devils like the Rat Man tribe. If it were other tribes, Xu Nan would probably sneer at it, believing that the casters of some humanoid creatures were making a fool of themselves; but judging from the magic level shown by Zula, a fourth-level spell caster was definitely a fourth-level spell caster, then 90% of the devils he mentioned were really from the Ninth Level Purgatory.

As for the true strength and characteristics, there are still doubts for the time being.

But after the experiment just now, at least he could confirm that the cheap daughter's field is quite useful, at least it can offset the devil's whispers.

Similarly, Zula himself showed a different look and interest in Xu Nan's field than before:

"Your Excellency... is the Son of God?"

"Son of God?" Xu Nan scratched his head: "Strictly speaking, I should be considered a priest..."

The wooden crow was silent, probably because he couldn't understand Xu Nan's words.

"With your strength, you should not master the power of the domain."

Zulan said sternly.

Xu Nan did not think it was offended, but instead replied with a smile:

"It's hard to understand the mystery in your vision."

The rat people were shocked in an instant.

Zula's words also became much more respectful: "Indeed, I know very little about the outside world, and many things are seen from the books of my predecessors."

"Since you have mastered some of the power of the domain, you do have some advantages in fighting the devil..."

He hesitated for a while.

Xu Nan originally thought Zula would change her mind and cooperate with him to develop emerald mines, but this guy still seemed to be very cautious.

In the following time, he quickly strengthened the seal of the ancient well by controlling the wooden crow, and said nothing except introducing the origin of the false well.

In Zula's mouth, the Well of Void is a very terrifying existence.

It is said that this is a time and space crack, sealed in the ancient well by a powerful senior; below the ancient well, there is a vicious place in the Nine Levels of Purgatory.

Every year, some evil devils from the Nine Levels of Purgatory try to break through this seal and invade the main material world.

Fortunately, there is a sealed magic circle of senior masters in the Well of Void. Zula only needs to repeatedly activate the magic circle to prevent the devils from invading. According to Zula, the Well of Void has not caused much trouble all year round, but it has suddenly become active in the past few months, which reminds him of some bad past, so it has increased the number of guards on the farm.

Sure enough, Xu Nan happened to encounter the invasion of the devil today; but due to Xu Nan's mystery and strength, the female devil could only return in vain.

But Zula believes that she will not give up.

This will be a long-term tug-of-war.

However, what surprised Xu Nan was that the devil in Zula's mouth actually did not refer to the abnormal creatures in the well of falsehood, but some terrifying existences on the other end of the mine.

He didn't talk about the more careful things, and seemed to be afraid of something.

...

"If you are interested, you might as well come to me as a guest, but not today."

After doing everything, Zurak said politely: "I have encountered some trouble recently and it is not suitable for meeting guests."

Xu Nan didn't plan to take down the Rat Man tribe in one breath, so he made a few polite words and took Tang Haixiao to leave the Rat Man farm.

Of course, he did not forget to take away the powerful Feigen Miaomiao Box.

Before leaving, he looked at the false well again.

He instinctively felt that this so-called devil was a little unusual.

Unfortunately, after Zula's repeated seals, this time, no white mist appeared.

Finally, they left the farm, found Jiang Yuanchi and Xiaoliang, and set off to return to Anonymous City.

As for the devil leader, this guy blatantly paddled and was lazy in the name of exploring the way, but was caught by Xu Nan halfway, and he would be educated in the future.

...

After returning to Anonymous City, Xu Nan summarized the information submitted by the exploration team and basically determined the location of the first batch of mines.

In addition to the two gold mines and one silver mine found by the First Exploration Team, there are more than a dozen large and small mineral veins.

Based on the difficulty and danger of mining, several heads of the city hall quickly determined the development order.

"Around the Itka Rat tribe, we will focus on the mineral deposits of four veins, mainly gold and silver..."

"For iron ore, because its purity is very low, our smelting industry has not yet arrived, so we can make do with it first."

"The recruitment of miners can begin. Anonymous City does not raise idle people. According to the rules formulated before Liuhuo, we will first try to issue a simple alternative currency internally, which will temporarily link it to grain..."

"Tell those people in the Iceland that this alternative currency can not only buy food, but also buy alcohol and other food, and even live in better houses... Well, of course it is not the inner city area. I am not going to sell the land in the inner city area yet... After the mine is established, you can build a small town. Of course, the house in the center of the town is a better house..."

"Tomorrow I will select all the craftsmen and apprentices, and I have a special task to hand them over..."

"The rest, those who have professionals must also arrange it well, and there is no need to let everyone go to mining; the preliminary process of ore processing has already come out, and it also requires a lot of manpower..."

After a meeting, Xu Nan said that he had a dry mouth and there were too many things he had to worry about.

It is very difficult to stuff a group of displaced indigenous people out of thin air into a dungeon formed by the Changyun Ship, and Xu Nan needs to help them find their position.

Most people in the Iceland do not have any industrial skills and knowledge. If they want to get a group of skilled workers, they still need time and deliberate guidance from the Anonymous City official. This is what Xu Nan cares most about, after all, his purpose is to build a magic industrial city!

In terms of alternative currency, it was also something Xu Nan thought about after careful consideration.

The existence of Anonymous City is very special. It is still part of the Eastern Kingdom in name, but it is actually an independent city-state of Stephen Sangzhao. It is obvious that it has its own right to mint coins. Xu Nan is not interested in using the Golden Dragon Order to settle with them!

Considering the prevention of fraud, Xu Nan finally adopted the plan of fire, using the Dengyun currency system that was once widely popular in the Arcane Empire. It is said that in ancient times, each Dengyun ship had its own currency system, and its currency value was endorsed by the combat power and sphere of influence of the Dengyun ship as the guarantee...

The first batch of Dengyun coins that Xu Nan was preparing to issue were not paper money. It would be difficult for this group of Iceland natives to understand the meaning of banknotes, but they would definitely accept the currency with heavy metals. This batch of Dengyun coins is actually the tip of the iceberg stored in Liuhuo in the past. At that time, the Arcane Empire made metal coins made of a small amount of third-class metal and a large amount of iron ore.

This batch of Dengyun coins has four kinds of currency values, namely 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 20 yuan and 50 yuan.

Generally speaking, a 1 yuan Dengyun currency can buy a black bread, which is enough for an adult to eat for a day. Most of these black bread comes from the storage of the Sebalon family's manors; and most of the crops produced in their own plantations are expensive. After all, the plantations are also large-scale energy-consuming households, and the pressure on the power furnace is second only to the air conditioning system, and it is normal to have high prices.

After the mine is opened, the salary of the first batch of miners is about 8 yuan per week, and there is a rest day; according to the quantity and quality of the ore submission, the miners will receive generous additional rewards from Lord Xu, which is the key to ensuring that the people in the ice field can work hard.

If everything goes well, these ores will be quickly added to the assembly line and undergo preliminary refining.

Dengyun Ship has similar facilities and equipment, but at present, there are currently insufficient skilled workers and cannot start work until everything is ready. Then these gold and silver ores will be smelted into gold and silver of great purity and will eventually be filled into Xu Chengzhu's bag.

Of course, he would take out some of it and trade it with the Eastern Kingdoms. After all, the reserved food of Sebalon Manor would not allow 30,000 people to spend the whole winter.

But what is certain is that as long as the city starts to operate, the edge of wealth visible to the naked eye will continue to flow into Xu Nan's crotch.

The location of the mine has been set and the start date is also selected, so everyone is in high spirits.

The only possible problem now is probably the Itka Rat tribe and the devil they mentioned.

Regarding this, Xu Nan thought and analyzed in depth, and finally made a decision. He decided to go to Smith and his wife to find out.

Luo Mang must know the problem of emerald mines and the origin of these so-called devils. Xu Nan has always liked to take shortcuts. If he could use a few cans of Lao Ganma to solve the problem, he would definitely not be in danger.

However, what caught him off guard was that before he could contact the Smiths, unexpected news came.
