Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 223 The Need for a Water Pump

Although the Extraordinary sent by the Balk family had some complaints about Elliott who was late, on the surface they still welcomed Elliott very much.

After the welcome banquet that night, early the next morning, the family members who came earlier took Elliott to visit the copper mine.

The colonists of the Feysac Empire have been mining this copper mine for seven or eight years, and the living facilities are relatively complete.

There are places where managers like Elliott live, there are places where local foremen and coachmen live, and there are huts where slaves and horses live.

While visiting and chatting with several people, Elliot found that these tribesmen had gathered around that Sequence 6 Zachary. They only had enthusiasm for Elliott, the actual leader, but not too much. Much respect.

Of course Elliott knew that because he was a loyal believer in the "Founder", he had the opportunity to get this position. In the family, another copper mine and a forest farm were both managed by a Sequence 6.

Elliott is only a Sequence 7, and has not made much contribution to the family so far.

Gotta find a chance to regain power, Elliot thought.

After visiting the residence and the carriage, the group came to the entrance of the copper mine.

Elliott saw an old-looking steam engine at the entrance of the mine. It seemed to be working hard with some difficulty turning the wheels, and every movement made a "squeaky" sound.

On the other side of the steam engine, hundreds of slaves squatted there, and local foremen with brown skin patrolled back and forth with whips to maintain order among the slaves.

When the foremen saw Elliott and the others, they immediately showed flattering smiles.

Elliott asked, "Are these slaves waiting for their shift?"

"No," Zachary replied: "There was a small-scale flooding in the mine yesterday, and it was useless for them to go down until the water pump pumped out the water in the mine."

Another Extraordinary who followed behind said: "This water pump is left by the Feysacs. It is said that when it was shipped, it was an old one that had been used for more than 20 years. The piston often leaks water. I guess it will have to be rebuilt. Take a day and a night."

Another Extraordinary said to Elliott: "Mine management, can you apply to the elders for a new water pump?"

Others also said, "That's right, if it's a new water pump, the dozens of slaves yesterday probably wouldn't have drowned. Now slaves are getting more and more expensive, and these are the costs of copper mines."

"It's best to buy a water pump made in Loen. I've heard that the water pump made in Loen is of the best quality."

"I've also heard that if there is a Loen water pump, the output of the copper mine will at least double."

Elliott nodded: "I'll go find a way."

He couldn't hear it, they were making a problem for themselves.

At this time, Zachary smoothed things over and said: "You should give up your mind, I have also heard that Loen produces water pumps, but they are in short supply in their colonies, and they cannot be bought anywhere else in the Southern Continent.

"Even if you want to buy it, you have to go through the Feysac Empire. I don't know how much the premium will be."

Everyone looked at Elliot with a smile.

Elliott didn't say anything, just watched the steam engine running over there, as if he was trying to avoid embarrassment.

……

The busyness of Hobert's team is much higher than previously imagined. Now they have an average of two court sessions a day, and the four of them are simply too busy.

So Hobert asked Barton for two more staff and an office.

Tuesday was another busy day. Originally, he was going to deliver a letter to Mr. Ards this afternoon, but because of the arrival of the newcomer, the scope of work had to be redefined. Hobert really couldn't leave, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

When he was about to get off work, Hobert heard prayers from the "Nation of Disorder". Don't think about it, it must be Elliott. pray.

When he came to the bathroom, Hobert entered the "Nation of Disorder", and indeed it was Elliott who was praying.

Spread the spirituality to the star representing Elliott, and immediately heard Elliott's voice: "Great creator, I am making a daily report to you. I was arranged by the elders to manage a copper mine..."

After briefly talking about the situation of the copper mine, he finally said: "There is a small matter that I need to ask for your help. The facilities here are too dilapidated, especially the old water pump. Is there a relevant channel where I can buy the water pump produced by the Kingdom of Loen?"

In Elliott's perception, a big figure like the "creator" would of course have many followers.

Hobert, who was sitting on the "Iron Throne", had the urge to cover his face: Friend, my beloved is you!

Hobert thought again that he really had access to the water pump. Isn't the water pump built by Mr. Dicks the most advanced water pump in the world?
But of course the "creator" can't be interested in such trivial matters. He didn't reply to Elliott immediately, but returned to the rented house on Blanca Street after work, and he prayed to himself: "Dear "creator" Or', I have a channel to buy a Loen water pump, and it is the most advanced centrifugal pump type water pump. The price of one is around 1200 pounds, which is probably worth 320 ounces of gold."

320 ounces is about 9 kilograms.

Then Hobert entered the "Nation of Disorder", mosaiced his own prayer picture, and threw it into Elliott's star.

This is a kind of use of the "trumpet", and Mister Fool agrees to use it!

……

Elliott was having dinner, and suddenly the "Founder" on the "Iron Throne" appeared in his mind first. The "Founder" was more majestic and oppressive than before. Emperor" description!

While being oppressed and out of breath, Elliot was a little excited: the great "creator" has become even stronger!

Then he saw a man who couldn't see his face and figure clearly praying: "Great 'creator', I have..."

After the picture ended, the scene in Elliott's mind disappeared, and he saw the dining table in front of him and other members of the family again.

Elliott's first thought was: "The Creator" really has other followers.

320 ounces of gold is not expensive for Elliott, because copper mines are usually accompanied by gold ore. It is not easy for them to get 1200 pounds of Loen currency. Maybe 1000 ounces of gold may not be enough. In exchange for 1200 pound notes.

But gold to them is inventory piled up in warehouses.

Elliot looked at the people at the table and smiled: I will show you how great the great "creator" is!

Such a large transaction must be reported upwards. When Elliott left the non-existent town, he was summoned by the patriarch. The way to report upwards was to pray to the patriarch!

　Thank you [Book Friend 20190227172554569] for the reward.
