Chapter 268 Is this a mineral vein? It turns out to be an underground city!

  Chi Yao felt that no matter what the situation was, he had to go to the mission site to investigate first, so he said to Tonino Harvey.

"Brother Harvey, please make arrangements. I need to go to the depths of the No. 6 mine to conduct a field investigation and take a look at the situation first."

Tonino Xavi nodded and agreed.

"No problem. I will arrange the best and most professional exploration expert, Johns, to lead the way, and I will go with you."

Chi Yao stood up, walked to the door and said.

"Well, let's set off as soon as possible. How long will it take you to arrange the personnel?"

Tonino Harvey stood up, walked to the cabinet nearby, took out the Den Den Mushi, contacted the personnel at the No. 6 mine, and seemed to agree with Chi Yao's opinion and chose to take immediate action.

"Johns and his team are now at the No. 6 ore vein. We can go directly to the No. 6 ore vein. It will take about 2 hours to get there by airship."

Afterwards, Tonino Harvey took Chi Yao to the airship station set up next to the palace to serve the royal family.

Chi Yao looked at the special golden-red creation in front of him. It was not an airship, but more accurately a hot air balloon with a boat hanging underneath. The power source for its heating was naturally the specialty of the Kingdom of Tyria - the round sun stone.

Chi Yao followed Tonino Harvey's steps and boarded the airship "Golden Flame". The decoration on the airship was much simpler than that inside the palace, and the load-bearing issue was obviously taken into consideration.

Tonino Harvey walked into the largest room of the airship with ease and greeted Chi Yao.

"Come over here, second brother! The Golden Flame is a vehicle given to me by my father. It has many novel things on it. I can guarantee that you will not feel bored during this two-hour journey!"

The door of the room was opened by Tonino Xavi, and the scene inside was clearly visible. The interior of the room was unified in a light gold luxury style, and the clouds in the sky could be seen directly from the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite the door.

Tonino Harvey was standing in front of a light gold refrigerator. He took out two bottles of light red liquid, handed one of them to Chi Yao, and sat on the large sofa beside him.

Chi Yao looked at Tonino Harvey's generous and enjoyable attitude and his previous impression of him changed a little. He walked into the room and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Harvey, we are supposed to be dealing with the problem with Vein No. 6, right? You're acting like we're going on a picnic."

Tonino Harvey drank the light red wine, lay down on the sofa, and spoke.

"I have enough business to deal with in the palace. It's rare for me to relax."

"If I did this in the palace, I would be severely criticized by my father."

"Well, don't just stand there, sit down and try this 'Flame of Love', it's one of my favorite wines."

"Don't worry, this is not strong liquor. It will not affect our next actions. On the contrary, it will be of great help to us."

Chi Yao looked at the bottle of light red liquid in his hand, confirmed the information of the item was correct, opened it, and took a sip.

Flame of Love

Origin: One Piece, Flame Island.

Quality: Green

Type: Valuables/Drinks

Rating: 18

Introduction: It has a fiery taste, as if you swallow a flame, but it is a rare wine with a low alcohol content. Drinking it can temporarily stimulate vitality.

(Can be sold to Samsara Paradise or given as gifts to plot characters. If given in the right way, the plot creatures will have their favor. The degree of favorability is related to charm.)

Just as the information introduced, the Flame of Love tastes hot at first taste. Chi Yaowei took a sip and felt a heat current burning from his mouth, which then slowly flowed into his stomach and gradually spread to his whole body.

This heat flow made Chi Yao's whole body active. This was probably the effect of stimulating vitality, which could help the drinker quickly enter combat mode.

Tonino Harvey asked expectantly as he watched Chi Yao drink the Flame of Love.

"Well? Am I right?"

Chi Yao drank slowly, quickly adjusted his "deceiving" state, and tried to "get something for free".

"Brother! Great wine! Really tasteful! This kind of wine must be very valuable, right? What a pity! I was thinking about whether I could take a few bottles back to drink later."

After being praised by Chi Yao, Tonino Harvey was immediately hooked by his close relationship and Chi Yao's charm. He drank the wine in his hand in one gulp and said.

"If you like, second brother, wait until we finish this matter. In two days, the next batch of Flame Love will be here. I'll give you half!"

Chi Yao raised the bottle of wine, drank it all, and expressed his gratitude.

"Then I would like to thank you, brother!"

Tonino Xavi responded with a smile.

"No way! Even though we haven't seen each other for two years, our relationship is still as strong as ever!"

Although he didn't know how many bottles were in half, Chi Yao not only succeeded in getting it for free, but also established a good relationship with Tonino Xavi.

The next two hours were spent talking between Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey.

During this period, Chi Yao also asked for a lot of information indirectly. As the eldest prince, Tonino Harvey knew more information than the maid Ellie.

Therefore, Chi Yao had a clearer understanding of the current situation of the Kingdom of Tyria, and most importantly, he had a better understanding of the mission location - the No. 6 Mine.

Vein No. 6 is located near the Flame Mountains in the Kingdom of Tyria. The mine tunnel was dug into the mountain and then explored downward in a spiral. Before the ant plague, the deepest record of Vein No. 6 was 1,056 meters.

This exploration depth is the third deepest among the top ten mineral veins in Tyria. The top two are Vein No. 1 at 1,282 meters and Vein No. 3 at 1,161 meters.

Above 400 meters above the No. 6 vein is the ordinary mining area, which is also the working area for ordinary miners.

Starting from about 400 meters in the central area, there are a large number of formed voids, which are interconnected to form a very complex underground maze area.

There are many underground creatures in this underground maze area, which greatly increases the difficulty of mining Yuanyang Stone. It also leads to the kingdom's incomplete grasp of the underground conditions of the veins, and it only has full control over the area above 600 meters.

Within the 600 to 800 meter depth of the mineral vein, the kingdom continuously organized more than a dozen exploration teams to continue to go deeper, eliminate underground creatures, and bring back high-quality round sun stones.

The Kingdom is still exploring the area below 800 meters, and only a few teams of experienced miners with sufficient strength can reach it.

After understanding the overall picture of the No. 6 mineral vein, Chi Yao was a little confused.

I originally thought that these mineral veins were simply mining areas, and the appearance of fire ants was purely an accident.

There are monsters underground, and as the depth increases, the monsters will become stronger; there is also the output of special round sun stone minerals, which is a very important energy resource!

Now it seems that this so-called mineral vein is probably just another name for something like "dungeon"! Miners can be directly considered as "dungeon adventurers"!

The situation of the other nine mineral veins is similar, which means that there are ten such dungeons in the Kingdom of Tyria.

Chi Yao quickly recovered from his confused state. Although it was a bit strange to see an island with a dungeon in the world of One Piece, it seemed that it was not unacceptable.

Chi Yao followed Tonino Harvey to the site of the No. 6 mine and saw that the exploration expert Johns was already waiting at the entrance with his "Adventurer Team" fully armed.

Johns saw Tonino Harvey and Chi Yao coming and immediately stepped forward to persuade them.

"Your Highnesses, from a safety perspective, I strongly advise you not to go deep into the mines."

With many outsiders watching, Tonino Harvey showed his serious and majestic side, and he interrupted Johns' words decisively.

"Johns, don't say anything! Now that I have made my decision, there is no room for change."

"The only thing you and your team have to do is lead the way. You don't need to worry about the strength of me and the Second Prince!"

Tonino Xavi's words were like an illusory hammer that struck down. The powerful sound waves directly drowned out everyone else's words. For a moment, there was silence.

Johns wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bowed.

"Yes, I understand."

　One update first.

　　I am guilty.JPG

　　My mom dragged me out to buy clothes in the afternoon, and I had a big procrastination attack at night. Sorry!

　　I really became a master of empty promises. I am very sorry!
