Hilpeter didn't think he looked like the statue in front of him. The statue was round, but Mersin didn't think so.
She laughed heartily, grabbed the statue in her hand, and imitated the angry eyes of the god with her eyes wide open, which made Hilpeter ashamed.
"This doesn't look like it at all. I don't have a round face!"
"But the look is really similar! Isn't it?"
Mersin turned back to several crew members for advice, and those crew members nodded without exception.
"Oh! Can you do it? I'm pretending to be a god, don't try to make trouble for me!"
A few people were laughing and sitting around in the empty castle, looking awkward.
There was a knock on the huge second-story wooden door. Pang went to open it. The door creaked for a long time and opened a crack wide enough for one person.
The visitor is Fisher, the owner of the castle.
"Great Twin Gods, the people have calmed down and we can leave for a walk around."
Hilpeter stood up in a hurry, and everyone quickly followed him.
"Let's go to your... flying stone mine first and take a look?"
"Okay, as you wish."
There are no horses on Twin Islands, so everyone can only walk to the mine on their legs. Fortunately, this island is not big, and it only takes half a day on their legs.
This is a small mine operated by seven people, but it is fully equipped with cages, trolleys, and tunnels with support plates.
Hilpeter and Mersin followed Fisher into the mine. Mersin's neat figure in the mine amazed the old miner Resa.
The light from the headlamp was very dim, but it was enough for Mersin to see everything clearly. Everything here was so familiar that it actually made her a little homesick.
"This is the flying stone. We usually break it open and take away the associated minerals such as pyrite and chalcopyrite..."
Resa said, feeling on the angular stone, and found a cluster of ore with a completely different texture at the root of the stone.
"Ah...this is pyrite."
Mersin blurted out.
"Oh, little girl, you are so well-informed."
Hilpeter hugged his shoulders and muttered: "In other words, this flying stone is considered a useless ore?"
"Yes, we mainly mine chalcopyrite and pyrite. Sometimes we find a little silver ore vein, but there is too little of it. The last time we found it was three years ago. After the silver ore is refined... …”
Ressa said, looking at Fisher who was aside, and Fisher immediately took over.
"In the end, it was melted into more than seventy silver coins."
Hilpeter curled his lips. He didn't mean to exaggerate, but he was thinking of his own salary.
Schliemann gave himself seven Andadir gold coins a month, which was equivalent to what they had mined for decades.
"What do you do with these flying stones?"
"We usually dig them down and move them to the side to use as tunnel supports, like this..."
As Resa spoke, he was digging loudly, trying to dig out the whole stone and show this distinguished guest the use of this stone.
Hilpeter pushed Resa away, grabbed the stone with both hands, and with a little force, he pulled out the stone that was still two-thirds buried deep, and also collapsed a large piece of the stone on the side.
"Where to put it?"
Resa was shocked and quickly pointed out a place. Hilpeter threw it casually, and he threw the huge stone on the edge of the tunnel.
"As expected of the twin gods, your divine power is simply unparalleled."
Hilpeter likes to hear good words very much, and he has become addicted to them in the past two days.
Resa's eyes swept across Hilpeter's chest, and the eyes that had moved away came back, full of surprise.
"Ah! This pendant around your neck is..."
He tugged at the clothes on his chest randomly and unbuttoned to reveal another pendant. This pendant was also black and exactly the same as the leaf pendant.
"Old man, where did you come from?"
Resa chuckled. He could keep saying this for the rest of his life.
"I dug this thirty years ago when I first entered the mine. The old tunnel has collapsed, otherwise I could still take you there."
Hilpeter stared at the pendant, and his straight head began to turn with difficulty.
"Do you feel any discomfort? Or is there anything strange?"
Resa's face froze, and he could obviously hear the meaning of Hilpeter's words.
"Are you saying that something bad would happen if this thing were worn on a mortal?"
"It stands to reason that there will be. This is an item belonging to a friend of mine. He lost it a long time ago. If you can return it to me...then I..."
Hilpeter said as he dug around on his body and finally took out a gold coin.
"I'll trade it with you.
This is a gold coin from the God Realm. Not only will it not bring you bad things, it will also bring you good luck. "
Reza's eyes shone. He took the gold coin and looked at it carefully in the firelight. The side profile of King Andadil was wearing a garland and holding an olive branch in his hand.
"How can I accept God's gift... Look at me, I'm an old fool. If you need it, I should give it to you..."
Resa untied the pendant with one hand and gave the gold coin to Hilpeter with the other hand, but Hilpeter insisted on changing it because he could see from Resa's eyes that he really liked the gold coin.
"Then I will shamelessly accept it, and it will be enshrined by my descendants."
"It's okay if you want to contribute the money..."
Hilpeter muttered, lifted the pendant, looked at it carefully under the firelight, and found that it was slightly lighter than the captain's pendant.
He held the pendant in his hand, feeling no strength at all.
Untying the pendant from his neck, he hung Resa's pendant around his neck. Still not feeling the same, Hilpeter realized that he had bought a fake for one gold coin.
"No, I'll have to ask the captain to reimburse me later... He will definitely want it too."
With this in mind, Hilpeter changed his pendant back and followed Resa and others all the way down.
After leaving the mine, Hilpeter left the helmsman Pound behind and took his people to the West Island. He found Schliemann who was planning the location of the temple with Punan near the ruined airport.
"Ship... Your Majesty... I have something to see you for."
Schliemann narrowed his eyes. He thought Schlieman had messed up something again, and quickly followed him on the boat.
The Crescent Moon was hovering in mid-air. In the captain's room, Hilpeter pointed to the pendant on his chest and took out another pendant from his pocket.
Schliemann was stunned.
"Eh? Where did it come from?"
"There is an old miner in the East Island. He dug it thirty years ago. I exchanged it with him for one gold coin."
Schliemann grabbed the pendant and asked, "Have you used it?"
Hilpeter rolled his eyes to one side with a nonchalant look on his face: "No, I thought you definitely wanted it, so I exchanged it with him for a gold coin."
Schliemann held the pendant, but he felt no power.
"I knew you were eager to study it, so I quickly gave Reza a gold coin and came to you with it."
Apton, who followed him back to the ship, became impatient and said, "Hurry up and give him a gold coin to shut him up."
"Oh! This is what matters to you..."
Schliemann muttered and reached for the money bag at his waist.
