Chapter 98: Amethyst necklace
After a luxurious lunch with potatoes, Lillian returned to the chapel, and the miners continued to mine.
First of all, they had to consolidate the soil at the perimeter of the mine to ensure that it would not collapse before they could continue digging down. After finding the huge vein, they first have to pierce it with a chisel, separating it bit by bit, before turning it into a small piece of raw gemstone and lifting it up from the mine.
Not every piece of stone has an amethyst, however, and not every amethyst can reach the quality that can be sold for good money. They need to carefully judge the gemstone's quality and find the best of them. Afterward, itll undergo processing and polishing to become beautiful crystal jewelry.
Of course, this is all for later.
They don't have enough hands. At present, there are only a dozen people here, and more miners and a lot of miners and masons are still in Stone Canyon. So they have to wait for the three adventurers and Little Yi to get them back.
Therefore, the more than a dozen miners present just used their fastest speed to get the raw amethyst. It was getting later, so they didnt even polish it.
When they returned to the church with the stones in their hands, they saw a mountain of beetroots stacked in the open space of the chapel. A dozen farmers were lying beside the beet pile like dogs.
When the miners came back, the farmers said feebly, "how's your work going? We collected a large area of beets and were as tired as dogs. But Im so happy Father Robb can really grow beets in a day, ignoring the season, the true miracle of the God of Light.
The miners couldn't help laughing, "You're not tired like dogs. You really became tired dogs. Hahaha, you look stupid with your tongue sticking out. The work on our side is going very well. There are really veins in the place that Father Robb pointed out to us. Hahaha, an amethyst mine."
Johnny held the raw amethyst they had carefully selected in both hands and sent it to Robb, who was lazy on his stone stool, "Father, this is the best raw amethyst we have dug up today. We intend to give it to you after it is polished and beautiful."
Oh? Robb took the raw gemstone. The so-called raw gemstone, which looks like an ordinary stone with an inconspicuous appearance, still needs a series of processes such as cutting, grinding, polishing, carving, and so on before it can be turned into a beautiful gem for people to enjoy.
However, Robb did not have this problem. He pinched it with his hand and used the skills of the jeweler class. And in an instant, the raw gemstone in his hand was cut and polished, turning it into a crystal clear amethyst.
The masons beside Robb couldnt see him use his skill but could only see some of the stone powder slipping slowly between his fingers. The raw gemstone quickly turned into amethyst, which was simply unimaginable and confusing.
But as he exhaled, the necklace around Lillian's neck glowed with purple, which formed a purple mirror in front of Lillian. Robb's fireball hit the mirror and bounced back with a whir, and hit Robb himself in the face.
With a bang, the fireball exploded, hitting Robb on the ground.
Lillian: ""
Townspeople, What the heck is going on?
The only person in the world who can hurt Robb is probably himself. This fireball knocked out 1/10 of his own HP.
He smeared the black ash on his face and filled his HP with healing magic, saying angrily, "F**k, my magic hurts."
Lillian said, "Master, what were you doing just now?"
The townspeople were also confused and said, "Father, what were you trying to play?"
Robb spread his hand, "I'm testing the necklace I just made! Magic reflection is really sick, ahem! All right, Lillian, I'll give you a blessing from now on, and you can tear all the wizards with your hands. Youll be able to beat all the magicians now.
Lillian looked confused and said, "Muh?
Robb said, Never mind, you are a peace-loving girl. You will not beat people. You only need the necklace's exteriors. What magic reflection? You don't use it."
Lillian breathed a sigh of relief. "Whoa, I thought my master wanted me to fight. I can't fight."
Robb gave her a thumbs up, "Continue being like that. Thats better.
