On the undulating sea of Alices, the Starwind Fleet sailed slowly north.
At the junction of the ocean and the sky in the distance, several islands are vaguely visible.
After the pilot and Bai Yue repeatedly identified it on the navigation chart, they finally determined that the Dawn Islands were ahead.
As a forest elf who was born, grew up, and underwent trials to become a dragon knight from Irollan, Bai Yue didn't know much about this archipelago.
This is the territory of the sea elves.
Sea elves mostly live in the islands near Irollan, and their lives, culture, and customs are obviously different from those of the forest elves.
This is a lively group of people whose spirit contains the agility of the ocean. They are good at using hardwood and metal to build slender canoes to ride on the waves. The ocean is as friendly to them as the forest is to other elves.
They are able to communicate with sea creatures, and powerful sea hunters are said to be able to form friendships with Leviathan.
At the same time, the sea elves are familiar with the nature of the sea. Although their boats are small, they are extremely fast and can often predict the storm before it comes and escape from danger.
Li Ran stood on the bow of the Rebel Knight, and the cool sea breeze blew his long black hair. He held on to the railing, looked at the islands getting closer and closer, and asked softly:
"Bai Yue, do you know anything else about Dawn Islands?"
The dragon knight standing behind him was thinking and said: "Archang Murazelle is right. Dragon blood crystals were once produced in the Dawn Islands, but in my impression, the sea elves on the island are not good at mining and mining. In business, there is no fanatical pursuit of wealth, so the output of dragon blood crystal here is not high."
"In addition..." Bai Yue's long ears twitched, "There is also a gorgeous legend about the origin of the Dawn Islands."
"Oh? What legend?"
"It is said that a certain island in this archipelago once glowed with rhythmic light in the middle of the night. From the perspective of a cargo ship passing by in the distance, it looked like the dawn of dawn. However, Irollan officials have never made it clear the truth of this legend. "Sex, this story is only passed down by word of mouth among sailors," Bai Yue glanced at Li Ran, "But we all know that the stories compiled by the crew are often not based on facts..."
"I understand," Li Ran nodded. "The name of the Dawn Islands may have nothing to do with this legend, but this archipelago is indeed full of mystery. I hope we can successfully find the vein of dragon blood crystal here."
After sailing for another two hours, the fleet finally arrived at the Dawn Islands.
There are dozens of islands of different sizes in this sea area, and because it is located in the far west sea, it is quite remote, and there is no base of the mechanical race here.
In order to improve efficiency, the entire fleet spread out to search for traces of the Dragon Blood Crystal Mine. Soon, each landing team reported their exploration results.
Sea elves' villages are dotted throughout the archipelago, and there is a complete elven city on one of the large islands.
However, these villages and cities are abandoned.
After receiving the news, Li Ran immediately rushed to the Elf Abandoned City and found that the buildings in the city were not damaged by the war except for some dilapidation. However, the town hall had naturally collapsed, and the Ocean Druid's sacrificial site and the town's time and space gate had lost their magic power. Brilliant, the docks outside the city were empty, with no ships left.
Judging from the traces left at the scene, the Dawn Islands are far away from the mainland of Irollan. In the early days of the Broken Star War, the sea elves living here probably received the news of the arrival of the Machine Tribe at the first time. Faced with the upcoming Faced with such a calamity, they had to abandon their home and board a ship to escape.
Because the elves left in a hurry, there were still some supplies in the city that had not been taken away.
Among them, there is a small amount of dragon blood crystal.
Li Ran picked up a large piece of dusty dragon's blood crystal and lovingly wiped away the dust on the surface, revealing the translucent interior of the crystal that was as crystal clear as blood.
This crystal is unpolished and large in size, showing the rough texture of raw crystal ore, proving that Dawn Islands is indeed the origin of dragon blood crystal.
However, which of the surrounding islands will the mines that produce these dragon blood crystals be located on?
The waiting was anxious, but no good news came from the exploratory teams scattered across the entire archipelago.
Li Ran stopped in the ancient ruined city of the sea elves, feeling nervous and a little anxious.
If the footprints of half the world's oceans can't be found, then what's the point of the Starwind Fleet's trip?
Just when he was a little disappointed, Salina suddenly fell down and said anxiously:
"Li Ran, come up quickly! Someone discovered a buried dragon's blood crystal mine!"
Li Ran was overjoyed and flew to the edge of the archipelago with Salina. There was an island covered with rugged mountains.
When they landed, Murazeer and others had already received the news and arrived here.
The island's giant mountains appear to have experienced a dangerous collapse.
A large amount of earth and rock poured down from the hillside, silting up half of the valley, making it look like an uninhabited land.
But investigators found special clues.
Among the collapsed earth and rocks, broken wood, tarpaulins and some metal products can be vaguely seen. It seems that this place was once a camp at the foot of the mountain.
After successively excavating mining picks, mine carts, and sporadic dragon's blood crystal raw ore, investigators were finally able to conclude that this was the site of the dragon's blood crystal mine.
Li Ran found the legendary Archangel and asked, "Muratzel, do you think there will be dragon blood crystal down there?"
Murazeer shook his head: "I can't be sure about this. The original mine tunnel has been buried by the landslide. We haven't found any information about the mine. We can only re-excavate a downward mine tunnel and go deep into the ground." Only by conducting a survey and seeing the veins of dragon blood crystal with your own eyes can you be sure.”
Li Ran looked puzzled: "The cities and villages in the archipelago are generally well preserved, why did landslides occur here?"
"I'm afraid this was deliberately created by the sea elves," Muraziel analyzed. "The geology here is stable, and a mountain collapse of this scale should not occur naturally in any case. It can only be explained by the sea elves using magic to create large-scale landslides. "
"Magic creates collapse?" Li Ran's face was full of surprise and confusion, "What is their purpose?"
Muraziel sighed softly, looked at Li Ran and said: "Although the dragon blood crystal is of average value to the elves of Irollan and is not as dependent on the Holy Empire, it is also a precious resource for the gods. The sea elves in the Dawn Islands are escaping. Before, they may have heard about the atrocities committed by the Machine Tribe in Irollan and the huge demand of these enemies for ore resources, so they asked the Druid to use earth spells to create a landslide and completely bury the Dragon Blood Crystal Mine. , to prevent it from being discovered and used by the machine race."
"This speculation makes sense," Li Ran couldn't help but nod, "Then what we need to do now is very simple..."
He took out the mining pickaxe purchased from Iron Crown from the space ring and waved it in front of Murazeer.
"Then dig down until you find the dragon blood crystal!"
