Hom was a serf, but he did not have been a serf since he was born, and earlier he was a miner in the mine.

Miners, not slave workers.

People working in the mine are divided into two types: miners with free bodies and slave workers without freedom. The former is free people who voluntarily go to dangerous mines to support their families to "diggle stones" and the latter is the private property of slave owners in the mine, which is equivalent to tools and livestock in the mine. However, in some aspects, there is no difference between the two. They are consumables that will die in the mine at any time and no one cares about after death.

The process of Home losing his freedom is dramatic: he is not a "stagnant" miner. Instead of digging stones in the mine, he prefers to find new things. No matter whether it is a new ore or a plant, it is fine. At this point, people often make fun of his ancestors, perhaps a bit of dwarf blood, but Home has always accepted these jokes. He worked in the mine, thinking all day long whether he could dig up some amazing treasures underground. Finally one day, he really "diged" the "baby".

He ran into the scene of the mine owner's wife having an affair with a supervisor in the mine.

It is very simple to kill one or two miners or slave workers. As long as you fool them with the reasons such as landslides in the mine, there is no problem. Hom even saw such a scene with his own eyes, so he chose to escape immediately and never returned home.

After being a refugee for a year, he established a family in the old Cecil. The previous Viscount Cecil did not expel him, but he had to rely on selling himself as a serf to seek life.

Under normal circumstances, this is the whole of his short and miserable life. After locking on the land, the serf Holme's life will be unchanged, and there will be no new opportunities and hopes. He will bear the heavy pressure exerted by the landlord and crawl between the soil for the rest of his life, living as a serf for the rest of his life for ten years, or fifteen years. If he can luckily (or unfortunately) have a child in this process, then his child will inherit the identity of a serf and live under the whip of the landlord for generations. His experience as a miner in his early years and his little restless curiosity when he was young will one day disappear completely into his memory.

But after that disaster, everything changed.

The old Cecil was gone, the landlords were gone, and the land was gone. The new lord came out of the legend and led the survivors to build a new home at the foot of the Dark Mountains. Facing the brand new land and the dark mountains full of secrets, the lord issued one incredible new decrees after another, while the serf Holme was commended for participating in the creation of traps in the "defense battle" in the autumn. He became a free man again, even more free than the free people.

The lord allowed the lord to engage in various jobs according to his personal strengths and reward anyone who works hard. New recruitment revelations are posted almost every day on the bulletin board in the town center. Anyone in the territory who wants to subsidize one more household income can respond to the lord's call through this channel. For people of this era, it is an incredible reward for the lord to open up so many jobs and pay them. What's more, it is the winter when in the past, when only one can starve at home and die. So whenever the new recruitment revelations are posted, countless people waiting for work (or waiting to support their families) flock to find a job that suits them.

The vast majority of people in the territory were originally illiterate, and they could only listen to the soldiers standing in front of the bulletin board reading the content on their behalf. However, the soldiers would only start reading the content on them six hours after the new revelation was posted. In order to understand the recruitment content a few hours earlier, Hom had learned thousands of words in just a few months, and could stumble and read the content on the bulletin board.

In night school, there are not a few people like him who work hard to read for similar motives: those who read can know the details of the recruitment several hours in advance and go to the Ministry of Interior to find a clerk to register. When those who are illiterate go to register, they often have all positions full, and those who did not try to read at the beginning are now regretting.

Hom was very glad that he learned the text in time. When the lord announced the organization of a new exploration team to enter the mountain, he signed up immediately: the number of people required by this team is not large, and although it is a little risky, the reward is higher than that of the technical workers in the factory. Besides, there is a small team of magic infantry in the team to protect it, so how much risk is it?

The newly organized mountain exploration team entered the dark mountains from a newly discovered mountain path. They saw many incredible mutant animals, plants and stones along the way. With his experience in the mine, his flexible brain and the best literacy level, Hom became the leader of this team (of course, another important reason for his becoming the leader is that he was personally commended by the lord, which is a rare honor). Under his leadership, the team found that strange "raw stone" with a lilac luster from a loose weathered mountain rock.

In this process, Hom's curiosity, which was gradually smoothed out by life, gradually revived...

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Gao Wen and Amber found the "exploration team stronghold" in the dark mountains. Several simple tents were built on a small open space in the mountains. The fully armed Cecil combat soldiers guarded the small camp. Gao Wen met the head of the exploration team, a middle-aged man who was not tall but very strong.

Looking at the other party's dark face and slightly hunched body, Gao Wen felt a sense of familiarity. The satellite spirit's memory played a good role at this time. He remembered that he knew this person: in the autumn's battle against the distorted Cecil, a serf named Houm was commended for his outstanding performance. In order to set a model, he also made public commendations. The facts proved that he did not see the wrong person at the beginning.

"I remember your name is Home," Gowen nodded to the serf-born leader, "Are you involved in this exploration team?"

"Yes...yes!" Hom didn't expect Gao Wen to remember his name, and he was suddenly a little nervous, "You have personally awarded me a...a medal!"

"You are a little fatter than you were then, very good," Gao Wen nodded with a smile, "Did you find the ore?"

"Yes, sir," Holme tried to control his nervousness. He had been on the podium once, and was finally a little calmer than ordinary people. "The original discovery was not far from here, I'll show you..."

On an open-air rock formation not far from the camp, Gao Wen saw several collection points excavated by the exploration team.

This kind of ore with a huge potential value is actually "buried" in such a shallow place.

Gao Wen came to the collection point and saw that the ores were covered with a thick layer of gray-white porous rock layers that seemed to have been weathered, and some ores with a lilac or light blue luster were "intacted" in it, as if they were some kind of condensation nucleus.

"The surface is full of very small pieces of ore. The more you dig, the larger the quality and volume of the ore will be. The veins that are truly valuable for mining should still need to be dug deep," Hom explained, "This kind of weathered rock layer with a soft texture is not suitable for mining wells, so it should be better to directly open a mine pit. With Rebecca crystal, it is not difficult to explode the rock layer."

Gao Wen nodded: "I saw the report you sent back. You have discovered many things that you have never seen before in the outside world, and there are signs of mutation in animals and plants."

"Yes," Holme replied, "but this is the first time that minerals are found as large as here."

Gao Wen said "um" and looked up slightly to observe the surrounding terrain. Gao Wen Cecil, who was seven hundred years ago, led his army to look for a road in the dark mountains. At that time, this place had not been affected by the demon tide. In Gao Wen Cecil's memory, there were no such strange things here.

They all appear after the tide of devils.

Amber took out his dagger and curiously picked out a piece of blue-purple luster from the dug rocks at one of the collection points, and placed it under the sun and observed: "What a strange thing, old... Gao Wen, is this what you said, the changes caused by natural matter under the influence of the demon tide?"

"The essence of the magic tide is an extremely powerful surge of magic power. Although this part of the magic power cannot be used by mortals, it can still have a profound impact on the natural environment," Gao Wen said casually. "Believe it or not, there are much more magic materials that can be found in the ruins of the ancient Deep Blue Well than here."

Amber widened his eyes: "That reckless person dares to go there to mine!"

Gao Wen shook his head, but did not answer her question.

He looked at the ore in front of him, but what he thought was not only the ore in front of him.

He once guessed that the demon tide might not have just exploded once.

The surveillance satellite left in the sky is obviously an early warning facility for the demon tide (or similar phenomenon). The disaster that occurred in Cecil Territory previously also showed signs of the demon tide coming back. In the surveillance records he hung in the sky in the past, he also observed that the civilizations on the earth suddenly disappeared for no reason, and the entire ecosystem was reshuffled and restarted.

In the "satellite era", his observations of the earth were not coherent due to severe "frame jumps", so many times he couldn't understand how the earth-shaking changes on the surface were caused by blinking. The primitive people built magic cannons, and then blinked again. They lived in a tree hole, and they danced square dances around the bonfire in a gangster. The geological landforms and plant distribution in their vision were also upside down. There may be decades of devastating wars, or 49 days of floods and tsunamis, but for satellite spirits who have a frame of thousands of years, this "speech and short-lived" disaster moment is really difficult to capture.

But there must be something that is causing this "shuffle". If there is no other answer, then the only answer is the magic wave.

The demon tide will cause changes in nature in matter in nature, and these things that have not been seen elsewhere in the dark mountains are enough to prove this.

Even if the demon tide fades, these things that have changed will not return to their original state, but will instead solidify into a brand new material. The ore found in the Dark Mountains can also prove this.

Then if there had been more than once a demon tide in the world, Gao Wen had reason to believe that most of the things in this world might have been affected by the demon tide.

He had the boldest conjecture ever:

Those magic materials, magic creatures, or ordinary soils and rocks that seem to have nothing to do with magic are gradually shaped into their current appearance through the repeated baptisms of the magic tide.
