Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 57 55. Inside the Salt Mine 1
On November 996, 11, the Emperor of the Human Empire, it had been 14 days since Rand captured the Gray Goose camp. During these few days, Rand sent people to assume the observation mast outside the salt mine. Rand's mast was only 5 Mi Gao, who hides in the woods outside the southwest pass of the Salt Mine Valley, keeps monitoring the situation in the camp.

Rand led his knights and cavalry to train continuously, and slaughtered long-haired sheep every day to improve the nutrition of demon possessors.

But at this moment in the salt mine valley, everything is as usual.

In the cave on the west mountain wall, there is an extraordinarily exquisite and comfortable cave. There are special lighting magic pattern boards around the cave. There is a wooden screen when you enter the cave. Bypassing the screen, you can see a huge wall on the left side. A bookcase, a set of wooden tables and chairs, and an alchemy lamp on the table. The tables and chairs are covered with thick long-haired sheep leather to block the moisture in the cave.

On the right wall is a stone bed 4 meters long and 4 meters wide, which is covered with thick animal fur.

The owner of the house is currently sitting in front of the table. The table is covered with papers with words and numbers. There is a quill pen on the right hand. On the left and right is an alchemy calculator unique to the imperial capital. This calculator relies on gears and The clockwork is running, and it can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

"Ah, who is it!" A roar came from outside the screen.

"It's me, Pete Maned Wolf," said a boy, "I'll be right back."

There was no sound outside, and then a man over 2 meters into the room.

Hearing Pete's return, the woman in the chair got up immediately. The woman had blue eyes, a peach-shaped face, and wine-red hair that fell down to her waist.

"You are back." Before the man walked around the screen, the woman got up and went behind the screen, saying very respectfully.

"Well, I'll come back to get something, you can do your work." The man didn't look at the woman, he just said something casually, then walked to the bedside and rummaged under the animal skin, and soon found a small bag.

The man took the bag and was about to go out. Before leaving, he glanced at the woman, "How is it? Is everything going well? I heard about those..." The man silently pointed to the door, "The escort is about to start again."

"Of course, it's still... very smooth."

"That's good." The man didn't say anything more, and left the room.

"Hey, I'm leaving again." The woman looked at the man's back helplessly.

The barbarians outside the door entered at this time, saw the woman, bowed and went out to continue to stand guard.

This house is the only one in the whole cave where barbarian cavalry are stationed. Since the owner of the house, that is, Laniya, has become the actual female accountant of the salt mine and the Gray Goose camp outside, the Gray Goose Tribe has specially set aside a small team. In the camp, 5 barbarian cavalry guarded Leniya to ensure that she would not be harassed by humans or barbarians.

Lania Maned Wolf is not only the accountant of the two camps, but also the actual manager of the human camp in the salt mine. The 2000 non-magic people in the camp are engaged in salt making, leather making, wine making, caves and food distribution, child care, personnel The distribution is all in charge of Laniya.

And the man who left just after entering the room was her demon possessor husband, middle-level knight Pete Maned Wolf.

After sending the maned wolf away, Laniya didn't dare to stop for a moment, and immediately returned to her seat to settle the accounts, while Pete wandered into another room, where there was naturally a beautiful woman waiting for the middle-level knight.

. . . . . .

Pete walked around in the cave and turned into a room.

At the end of the road, a pair of sharp eyes looked at Pete, who was full of satisfaction. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his long white hair reached his chest. There was a long staff in the man's right hand.

"Hey... I'm sorry for Laniya." The old man who spoke was Laniya's teacher, Gandalf Merlin, the only human magician in the entire salt mine.

After he came to the salt mine 5 years ago, he chose the clever Lania, and he taught Lania how to manage the entire salt mine, but Lania is not a demon possessor, and he cannot convince the demon possessor. Can wrong her to marry the flirtatious Pete.

In fact, Pete is not bad for Lania, he has managed to protect Lania from coveting and harassment, but Pete is not a dedicated person, especially after Lania has gained the attention of the barbarians, Pete does not even want to talk to Lania. Ya stay together.

The old man knew that this was the way he pointed to Lania. He had already told her that this would happen today when he suggested that Lania find Pete, but both Lania and Gandalf knew that in the salt mine The human camp is in dire need of order.

The cave where the entire human race lives can be divided into 6 floors, and each floor has a strict division of room functions and living groups.

The bottom floor is the salt-making workshop, and the second floor is the large room of the non-magic people who make salt. There are all Datong shops here. The salt workers take three shifts to prevent the cooking pot from being turned off or burned dry.

The third floor is the room for non-magic users with certain skills and status in the camp, the fourth floor is the room for ordinary demon possessors, the fifth floor is the room for knight apprentices and junior knights, and the highest floor is the room for intermediate knights.

In addition to the dozen or so rooms of the salt workers, there is also a small stone room, which is the only room of an ascetic monk in the territory. Although the ascetic monk Wright Duoliner has at least the level of an intermediate priest, he himself asked Live with the salt workers so if anyone gets hurt they can be found immediately.

There are always a lot of salt workers lined up outside Wright's room. Hundreds of people take turns cooking salt. It is inevitable that there will be scalds, burns, and bruises. Everyone will find Wright as soon as they are injured, not only human races, but also barbarians. He, and will also line up outside.

When the people outside Wright's gate saw Gandalf approaching, they all made way out of the way. Intermediate mages are hard to get hurt, so they must have something to look for ascetic monks when they come here.

The mage was walking into the ascetic's room, and the ascetic who was healing a salt worker who had injured his back said, "No matter who you are, go outside and line up, or I don't care if you are the head goose!"

Ordinary barbarian demon possessors know the temper of the ascetic monks, and they will line up with the non-monsters outside, but there are indeed unbelievers, such as the five intermediate knights in the camp and the geese in the gray goose tribe. Ascetic monks always have a bad temper at such times.

"Even old friends have to queue up to chat?" the white-haired mage asked with a smile.

"Ah" Wright glanced back, "Oh, it's you, sorry, I thought it was Pete's gang."

"Don't worry, I'm injured and I'll heal it myself, I won't steal your magic like they do," the old mage continued to tease

"That's great. With my little magic power now, even ordinary minor illnesses and injuries are difficult to treat."

"Have you felt easier to heal recently?"

"Ah? What..." the ascetic just wanted to retort, "Don't tell me, it is true. A few months ago, I could heal up to 4 people at one go, but now I can almost heal 5 people. Do you think I will break through? ?”

"Haha, I think you should be more realistic." The old mage paused, "I have a feeling that the magic environment on the plain is about to change."

"It's going to change?" The ascetic monk didn't know why.

"Yes, it should change," the old mage said meaningfully, and the words "more than 1000 years" were added in his mind.
