At that moment, Gideon Black pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and bowed with a fist towards Leo Ray.
On the other side, Taylor and Scarlett also revealed their approving expressions, nodding one after another.
"So that's why these three giant dragons suddenly appeared here."
Contemplating and nodding slightly, Leo Ray stroked his chin and said, "It seems that our adversary is clearly looking for something."
"Lord, you are absolutely right."
Scarlett blinked her large eyes, echoing, "However, it is indeed a rare and extraordinary occurrence for the Dragon Clan to search for something in human settlements."
"Scarlett, why is this? Isn't it said that dragons like shiny things? What if they have their eyes on the treasures here?"
Bianca White's furry ears twitched slightly, and she looked puzzled.
"It's true that dragons love shiny things, but attacking human cities for treasure is a story that belongs only to fairy tales."
Scarlett smiled at Bianca White and began to explain, waving her head, "In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, the vast majority of human clans are just ants that can be crushed at will."
"If you were a giant dragon, would you dig up an entire ant nest just to find a hidden grain of rice?"
"Exactly, and the Dragon Clan is a very proud race that takes their own dignity very seriously, so they almost never snatch from races they deem weak."
Gideon Black, who was next to her, also pushed his glasses up his nose and added, "After all, this would easily become a laughingstock among their peers."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Bianca White nodded uncertainly and murmured, "It wouldn't be worth it for just a grain of rice, but if it were a large piece of meat, I might consider it…"
Hearing Bianca White's murmur, Leo Ray slightly pursed his lips and then pondered in his heart, "What exactly is our opponent looking for, something important enough to deploy three Tier 5 members of the Dragon Clan?"
Frowning slightly, Leo Ray continued to think, "Moreover, they seem to be very purposeful, targeting only Coldflame City and leaving directly after failing to find any clues."
"From this it can be inferred that there is a high probability that the item is hidden in a city within Coldflame, but even the dragons themselves are not certain of this."
Thinking of this, Leo Ray informed his subordinates in various locations through Mind Talk, instructing them to watch for related situations.
Without a doubt, as long as more Dragon Clan members went to investigate other cities, this conjecture could be indirectly confirmed.
Having done all this, Leo Ray couldn't help but fall into deep thought, muttering in his heart, "Well, in addition to the previous opponents, the Coldflame Royal Family, and the mysterious organization, now there's a group of dragons looking for who knows what?"
"I must say, things are getting more and more interesting."
At that moment, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and said to the subordinates beside him, "Alright, let's move on."
"As you command, Lord!"
Hearing this, all the subordinates saluted and bowed to Leo Ray.
It didn't take long after that.
After a journey over mountains and valleys, Leo Ray and his party arrived at the edge of a narrow valley.
This location was in the remote heart of the Old Mine District of Golin City.
At a glance, in the middle of the valley was a somewhat turbulent stream flowing past.
Under the sunlight, the stream reflected a sparkling and shimmering radiance.
Seeing this, Leo Ray's gaze fell on the downstream area of the stream.
That area was covered by dense shrubs and was also the location of the hidden mine.
Thus, at Leo Ray's signal,
The group hurried to the location of the hidden mine without stopping.
As they approached the shrubs, Leo Ray removed his Invisibility Cloak, and five early arrivals immediately rushed over and excitedly exclaimed, "Greetings, Master Leo!"
These five naturally were Solomon and Sylvia, Silas Brooks, Xavier Perry, and Cheyenne Hamilton.
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray shifted his gaze to the five Lords.
Solomon and Sylvia were still dressed in the distinctive Golin City style with hollowed-out musical note carvings in their clothes, accompanied by exquisite leather boots and wrist guards.Especially Sylvia Moore, still wearing a delicate carved hairband, neatly tying a single ponytail hairstyle, looking like a sporty young girl.
The other three also haven't changed much, all dressed in tight-fitting outfits.
Of course, Silas Brooks' glasses have only one lens left, and Xavier Perry's red hair on his head has faded a bit, still quite noticeably.
The only change is Cheyenne Hamilton's neat bangs, which were more orderly than before, obviously carefully trimmed.
"You've all worked hard lately."
Having observed this, Leo Ray smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
No doubt, from the excited expressions on the five of them,
none of them apparently noticed the appearance of three terrifying uninvited guests in the sky just now.
Thinking of this, Leo Ray smirked and continued, "Alright, let's go in and talk while we walk."
Next, they stepped into this hidden cave that was like a maze.
Under the guidance of the five experienced lords, Leo Ray and the others quickly arrived at the spacious underground space at the end.
At this moment, accompanied by the continuous sound of metal pickaxe strikes and illuminated by the Light Crystal Stone left before, Leo Ray noticed,
that in this spacious underground space, there were many people.
He saw more than 200 ordinary subordinates working in an organized manner, mining and pushing carts everywhere, presenting a busy scene.
At the same time, Leo Ray further discovered:
The original underground space of about 100 square units had been expanded to nearly 200 square units, with several new mines appearing, all of which were being excavated intensely.
"Master Leo, at the beginning, our progress was slow due to our limited experience.
However, after this period of learning in various chat channels, as well as actively consulting other Lords with relevant knowledge,
plus the subordinates becoming more and more skilled, the output of this ore vein is getting higher and higher!"
At this point, Solomon Rue walked forward and started to introduce with a touch of pride.
Then, he pointed to the neatly stacked piles of black crystals not far away, and chuckled, "Those are the results of our efforts during this time!"
"Very good."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray came directly to the excavated ore and gently waved his hand to collect all the ore into his bag.
After inspecting it, Leo Ray was delighted to find:
Total of 8,000 units of Obsidian and 300 units of Dark Magic Crystal.
"Currently, both of these resources have reserves of 4,500 units of Obsidian and 900 units of Dark Magic Crystal in the Territory.
The primary resources needed for the next level of Guardian Defense Mechanism are 12,000 units of Obsidian and 800 units of Dark Magic Crystal.
That means, the resources in my hands are already enough to upgrade the Guardian Defense Mechanism to the next level!"
Realizing this, excitement emerged on Leo Ray's face, murmuring to himself, "In this way, the strength of both the Earth Guardians and the Sky Guardians will undoubtedly be further enhanced!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then asked the Lords beside him, "Can more manpower be added to this ore vein?"
"Master Leo, based on our estimates, this ore vein has great potential, and the amount of Obsidian and Dark Magic Crystals it contains is considerable, so even if two or three times the number of miners are added, there would still be plenty of room!"
Upon hearing this, Silas Brooks pushed up his glasses with only one lens left on the bridge of his nose and then replied.
"I see."
Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and then said indifferently, "In that case, I will simply have you increase the manpower by four times."
"What?!"
On the other side, upon hearing Leo Ray's words, after a moment of stunned silence,
the excited faces of the five people couldn't help but show an uncontrollable ecstatic look.
