Chapter 719: The Secret Mission of Godfather
Kante revealed a mysterious and strange face, "Even if Godfather has no intention of establishing himself as a king, he still needs to beware of others harming him. These magical equipment, if they fall into the hands of outsiders, may ultimately become a threat to Godfather. Isn't that not very good?"
Robb laughed again. How could these inferior equipment possibly threaten him? Kante, don't think like those conspirators," Robb patted his shoulder and said, "Being pure will make you happier. My teacher has his own considerations."
Kante, not too bright, thought for a moment and laughed, [That's right, Godfather is such a great person, why would he need a fool like me to worry for him? He must have thought of all these things long ago.]
At this point, he suddenly thought of something, "Oh, I finally understand why you always go out to poop and come back with some strange things. You didn't just get lucky, nor were you actually pooping. You were sent by Godfather to specifically look for these things, right? Godfather must have given you a treasure map that shows the location of various strange minerals, and you use an ordinary map to find them, that's why you often look at maps."
Robb laughed, this fool guessed right to some extent.
Well, it's not entirely wrong, so let's just follow his words. Robb put on a mysterious face and said, "Okay, I won't hide it from you anymore. The task I'm currently undertaking is given by Godfather, specifically to find rare ores, rare wood, and all kinds of rare materials to prepare for making various magical equipment to deal with the most powerful enemies in the future."
Kante exclaimed, "Black Dragon! For a great person like Godfather, only the Black Dragon is worth him going after. The other scum are not in his eyes. But defeating the Black Dragon is not something one person can do. It requires arming a huge army."
Robb patted him on the shoulder, "Kante, if anyone says you're stupid in the future, I'll help you beat them up."
Kante was delighted, "You finally realized that I'm not stupid? Hahaha! Actually, I always thought I was very smart. Come on, let me show you the new technique I developed by integrating wind magic after learning it from the two books you gave me."
Robb was surprised, "Oh? Have you integrated them?"
Kante said, "Watch me, the new move of Kante, the Wind Magic Knight."
He shouted loudly, "Wind Blade Technique!"
After finishing his words, he drew a long sword from his waist and threw it forward with a "whoosh". The sword cut through the air and left behind a green light, landing with a "pu" sound into a large tree opposite. Then, Kante waved his hand forward, "Come back, my sword!"
That night, the group set up camp under a small cliff in the mountains. There was a small waterfall hanging from the cliff, and the long-term erosion had created a small shallow pool below it. The hunters had caught a wild boar, and they washed and roasted it by the side of the pool.
Robb went back to Westwind City wearing the boar skin, and then returned with a leather wrist guard for each of the thief, archer, and hunter professions. Although wild boar skin was not a good thing, after Robb polished it, it was better than the inferior leather armor worn by these foot soldiers.
The knights were very jealous, but they had no choice. After all, it was Robb's "bad luck" along the way that he couldn't find any ore.
The next day, before dawn, the group got up and continued towards the canyon.
Actually, this canyon is not far from the Magic Temple, only about thirty miles away, and on the map it's within the distance where troops can be sent to reinforce the Magic Temple at any time. That's why Madeline asked them to come and take a look, to prevent any ambushes here. But the mountain roads are difficult to traverse, and even a lightweight squad takes a day to get here. It seems unlikely that reinforcements can be sent to the Magic Temple from here.
As the two Black Earth Knights walked, they said, "The mountain roads are difficult, and if the enemy has an ambush, they probably wouldn't be here in this canyon. It's possible that we might come back empty-handed."
Robb also understood their reasoning. He had only circled this canyon on the map last time because there was a mine here, not because he really thought there was any strategic significance to it. Upon hearing the Black Earth Knights' words, he smiled and said, "Yeah, we'll probably come back empty-handed. Anyway, we're just here to take a look."
Everyone nodded and continued forward. After about an hour of walking, the sun hadn't come up yet and the sky was still hazy. The canyon was in sight.
This was a canyon that resembled a one-way street. From the outside, one could only see a dark and deep gorge and couldn't see what was inside.
Robb took out the map and was double-checking that the ore he found was indeed inside this canyon... Suddenly, a huge bat flew out of the canyon, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.
