Chapter 118 Mining
"Little guy! Let's go! Let's go back!" After the contract of recognition was completed, Narant happily hugged the golden yellow elf and returned to the castle!
...
The next morning, the maid's bedroom on the first floor of the castle.
"Hmm?" Catherine woke up leisurely, but the discomfort that came from her body made her snort unconsciously.
"Ah! Awesome sister, you finally woke up!" At this moment, a scream came from Catherine's ear. It was Shirley who was arranged to take care of Catherine here.
Hearing this call, Catherine finally woke up and saw the girl in front of her. Catherine remembered her situation.
She sat up in a flash. She originally wanted to get out of bed, but unfortunately she stood up a little, her whole body was sore and weak, and finally she fell on the edge of the bed.
"Awesome sister, don't move first! The lord said you were poisoned the night before yesterday! Although lord has helped you suck (divine beast) poison, it will definitely not recover so quickly!" Shirley immediately stepped forward to stop Catherine's actions.
"Xi Poison healing?" Catherine's body stiffened and she subconsciously looked at her body.
When she saw her outfit clearly, she was even more shocked. She was wearing a castle maid outfit.
"Sister Awesome, don't worry, your clothes were replaced by Sister Vivian and I. I just tore open my sleeves when I helped you heal your wounds!" Shirley thought she knew what Catherine thought and immediately explained.
But after hearing this, Catherine's expression still did not improve.
After Shirley mentioned this, she had already remembered what happened before she completely lost consciousness that night.
She remembered that after she fell to the ground with powerlessness, the young lord immediately stepped forward and hugged her.
Originally this was nothing, but after a moment, Catherine, who was confused, felt a warm feeling coming from her arm, and then she felt constantly being sucked.
With shame and anger, she completely fainted.
"Is he detoxifying?"
Catherine asked herself.
But she couldn't find the answer, and she had never heard of detoxification by her mouth.
But now I don't seem to be dead again, and there is no reason to blame the young lord.
"Sister, are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will go to the kitchen to find my mother to get some food for you?" Shirley immediately spoke up and said with concern when she saw Catherine's shocked look.
"Thank you, Shirley, I'm not very hungry now. I want to ask where your Lord is!" Catherine, who became a prisoner, had no intention of eating at this time.
She didn't know what she would encounter next, and her plan to rescue Raymond and others seemed to have failed.
"Hey, great sister, how do you know my name?" Shirley said in surprise, "Sir, he took Sister Vivian out of the castle. He got a yellow elf last night. Today he took the elf to find a habitat for it!"
"That night I heard you and Vivian's name, so I knew your names! Shirley, my name is Catherine!"
"Sister Catherine, will you stay in the castle with us in the future?" Shirley blinked her big eyes and asked Catherine expectantly.
"I don't know!" Catherine was stopped by Shirley, and she didn't know how to choose.
Moreover, even if I want to leave now, is the young lord willing to let him go?
I'm afraid it would be considered kind if I didn't kill myself!
...
While Shirley was talking to Catherine, Narant was only one mile away from the castle.
"Hey! The little guy responded!" Riding on the back of lightning, Nalante suddenly showed joy, and the yellow elf seemed to have found a satisfactory habitat.
Narant is very much looking forward to the mine he will acquire.
If it is a gold ore, it will be awesome!
"Go! Little guy! Be more powerful!"
With expectations, Narant gently threw the little guy to the ground.
"Migumigu!"
After the little guy landed, he called out twice happily, and then he ran towards the wasteland beside the dirt road.
Almost continued to enter more than a mile, and the little guy finally stopped.
After stopping, the yellow light on the little guy's body began to slowly gather. When the light gathered to the point where the naked eye could not see it directly, with a buzzing sound, the light formed ripples and spread towards the surroundings.
This process lasted for more than half a minute. After half a minute, everything around him returned as usual, while the yellow elf began to sway around leisurely.
"It's done!" Narant was delighted.
However, nothing was seen on the ground at this time.
"Vivian, let the guards start digging the soil!"
Generally speaking, even if the mines produced by the yellow elves are not bare ore, they are not buried deep, so you can determine what ore you have obtained by digging the soil layer.
"Yes, sir!"
The guards had already brought hoes and began to dig in the wasteland under the command of Vivian.
Narant walked to the shade of the trees and started to wait.
Time passes minute by minute.
"Sir, it seems to have been dug up!"
More than ten minutes later, a cry came from Vivian.
"What kind of mine is it?"
Narant Tent stood up and ran over quickly.
"Sir... we don't know each other!" Vivian shook her head with a little lack of confidence.
Seeing this, Narant was anxious. It was not a common mine, which was a bit bad.
"This is..." When Narant came to the edge of the pit and looked down, he also frowned slightly.
There was no ore in the pit about two meters deep, but a layer of grayish-white soil.
After thinking for a while, Nalant finally found the relevant memories in his mind.
“Is this clay?”
To verify the accuracy, Narant jumped into the pit and grabbed a handful of off-white soil with his hand.
"It's delicate and tight, this is really clay!"
"Sir! Is this mine good?" Vivian asked carefully from the side when she heard this.
Generally speaking, the nobles' favorite mine is metal mine, because either one represents wealth.
But now that he heard that this was rustic, Vivian became a little worried for her adult.
"How to say it! If it is before processing, it is no different from other ordinary soil!" Although it is not too disappointed, this is still quite different from the copper or iron ore that Narant expects.
"Ah, that's not worth it!" Vivian couldn't help feeling sad.
"That's not the case. You have seen the clay pots and pottery bowls we usually use, they are made of this clay!"
"Ah! It turns out that the clay pot and the clay bowl are made of this soil? That's it, this soil is actually valuable!" Vivian's frustration immediately decreased.
"Yes, it is actually very valuable, at least it should be more valuable than expected!" Nalant smiled.
Of course, he was not planning to make ceramic pots and porcelain bowls for sale. Ceramics is not of high value in this world.
Because the pottery making technology in this world is very backward, both the production technology and the glaze outside the ceramic are at the original level.
Therefore, the nobles prefer to use gold and silver utensils.
Of course, if we could create artworks like Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain, Longquan celadon or Ru kiln in previous lives, I believe we could still make a lot of money.
Just wanting Narant to develop ceramic art to this level in a short period of time is no less than asking him to build rifles with bare hands now.
