Connor was in a good mood after leaving the Riksid Tavern. His plan was progressing smoothly. When he was still in Loen, Connor had already made sufficient preparations for the operation in Tunguska. He learned that there was a very famous intelligence organization in Tunguska. They called themselves the Glazer Family. In Tunguska, as long as one paid them money, they could obtain highly reliable and valuable information. Most importantly, they were very trustworthy, and they rarely leaked information about their employers.
After learning about the Glazer Family, a two-pronged plan took shape in Connor's mind. On the one hand, he could use his magic wand to search for the location of the magic stone mine in the Tunguska area. On the other hand, he could entrust the Glazer Family to search for Snake Eye's footprints in Tunguska. This would be much more efficient than if he were to act alone.
Connor placed the search for the magic stone mine in the western suburbs of Tunguska as the first step. Although there were no large rivers around Tunguska, there was a small lake called Mercedes Lake in the western suburbs. It was a freshwater lake, and it was the main source of water for the citizens of Tunguska.
Connor walked on the country path around Mercedes Lake with his cane. He was like a rich young master on a spring outing, casually looking at the scenery by the lake.
On the surface, Connor's mental strength cooperated with the magic wand in his hand to detect the situation within a one-kilometer radius. Under the effect of Connor's mental strength, the wand would silently release a detection wave into the depths of the ground. When this detection wave encountered an ore underground, it would provide Connor with a result based on the type of ore.
Connor hoped that Snake Eye hadn't set up a camouflage array around the magic stone mine he discovered. The magic wand in his hand was still a relatively primitive alchemy item for detecting ores, so it couldn't identify the magic stone mine under the camouflage array.
In fact, when he first arrived at Mercedes Lake in the western suburbs, Connor believed that Snake Eye hadn't discovered the magic stone mine here. As for the reason?
It was very simple! There were too many people at Mercedes Lake. As the only main source of water in Tunguska, Mercedes Lake was not as heavily guarded as the Loen Mendi Reservoir, but it was still a lake management team of more than a hundred people. Apart from these people, Mercedes Lake also formed an industrial chain for catching fish. Thousands of people relied on the lake for their livelihood. If there was a magic stone mine here, it would be difficult to avoid their eyes and ears.
After inspecting the western suburbs, Connor went straight in the next direction. In the next three days, Connor walked through the eastern and northern suburbs of Tunguska, leaving only the southern suburbs unchecked. Connor didn't find any information about the magic stone mine. Of course, Connor wasn't surprised by this situation. When he started his search, he was very aware of this situation. The southern suburbs of Tunguska was the area where Connor thought the magic stone mine was most likely to be found.
According to the records, the magic stone mine didn't appear alone. There would be other mineral resources around it, such as wolframite. The reason why Connor was certain that Snake Eye had found the magic stone mine was because he found a large number of magic stones in Snake Eye's interspatial ring, as well as several minerals that appeared around the magic stone mine according to the records, including wolframite.
Coincidentally, in Tunguska, a city that was not rich in mineral resources, there was a small black tungsten mine. This black tungsten mine was located in the southern suburbs of Tunguska and was occupied by the Corella Consortium established by the Corella Family, a local family in Tunguska.
This was Connor's only clue about the magic stone mine, but Connor also had his own concerns about this clue. In Loen and the surrounding provinces, wolframite was not difficult to find. On the contrary, it was a very common mineral resource. As far as Connor knew, there was a large mine and a small mine in the suburbs of Loen.
Therefore, the appearance of the wolframite mine in the southern suburbs of Tunguska was not surprising. There must be traces of the magic stone mine that Connor had been longing for!
Late at night, under the cover of the dark night, Connor, dressed in a black robe, came to the vicinity of the wolframite mine occupied by the Corella family in the southern part of Tunguska. He leaned on his cane and searched the surroundings with a serious expression.
For the magic stone mine, Connor didn't mind sending a few people back to the embrace of the god they believed in. However, before the magic stone mine was discovered, Connor didn't want to cause any trouble. Connor briefly learned about the Corella consortium.
The Corella family was a family business in Tunguska. Ninety percent of the family's assets were in Tunguska. The family business was mainly focused on catering, accommodation, and mining. The wolframite mine in Tunguska was an important source of income for their family. Capitalists were all the same. Wolframite was not scarce around Loen, and the market price competition was very fierce. Therefore, in order to turn the black ore into lovely gold pounds, the Corella family, who did not have the ability to extract high-precision wolframite, could only rely on quantity.
In this way, in order to reduce costs and increase profits, the Corella family tried their best to suppress and reduce the wages and benefits of the wolframite miners. The miners risked their lives to mine underground in exchange for meager wages, so they were naturally unhappy. Therefore, in order to deter the miners and make them work honestly, the Corella family set up a security team of about a hundred people at the wolframite mine.
Although no one admitted it on the surface, in fact, everyone knew that the security team was suspected of illegal possession of guns without a license. Usually, the security team wouldn't even let people enter a 20-mile radius of the mine.
However, it just so happened that the 20-mile radius of the mine was the focus of Connor's inspection. Although the security team of more than a hundred people was armed, if Connor went all out, it would only take a few minutes to kill them all. However, in order not to attract attention, Connor chose to secretly check for magic stone mines under the cover of darkness at night.
Half an hour later, Connor exited the mine and used his wand to check the surrounding 25-mile radius, but he still found nothing. This situation made Connor frown and cast his gaze at the mine. Although it was late at night, he could still hear the roar of machinery in the mine. Obviously, the workers in the mine were still working at this time. Behind the high walls around the mine, tall watchtowers were lit with kerosene lamps. They seemed to be guarding against the workers in the factory from escaping.
