Lord Chronicle

Chapter 158
After Gris left, Jessica blamed Sol and said, "Haven't we already decided to expel the Adventurer's Guild? Why did you promise him again?"

Sol said: "Didn't you hear him say that he will help us deal with the Necromancer Guild? Such a good thing that is once in a lifetime, do you still want to refuse?"

Jessica was angry and funny: "Why did you suddenly become so stupid, can you believe such words? What if they take back that thing but don't fulfill their promise? What if they make a private agreement with the necromancer? In the end, they will suffer Isn't it us?"

Sol shook his finger tut-tsk: "Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen."

Jessica gave him a hard look: "How do you know?"

"Shh." Sol made a hissing gesture to her, then closed the curtains with a swish, ran to the left and right of the door to see if there was no one outside, closed the door, and the room immediately became dark.

"What... what do you want to do?" Jessica couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she suddenly thought of what happened that night.

"Keep your voice down, let me show you something." Sol said mysteriously.

Only then did Jessica breathe a sigh of relief, but for some reason, there was a trace of unspeakable regret.She shook her head to shake off these messy thoughts, and asked, "What is it?"

"Wait, I'll take it out right away." Sol groped around while walking towards Jessica.

"Huh? I remember it's here." Sol didn't seem to find it after touching it a few times, so Sol simply took off his coat.

He continued to grope on his body, but there was still nothing. He was a little anxious, so he also unbuttoned his shirt.

Just like that, he got closer and closer to Jessica with his disheveled clothes.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Jessica couldn't help taking a step back: "What exactly do you want?"

Sol didn't think so much, he waved his hand: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

As he spoke, he stretched his hand into his trouser pocket.Due to the deep trouser pockets and the hard search, Sol's hands formed a high bulge between his legs, and moved around exaggeratedly.

Due to his engrossing attention, he obviously didn't notice how evil he looks at the moment...

In Jessica's eyes, it was Sol who unbuttoned half of his shirt, stretched his hands between his legs, and walked towards him with his legs spread apart, muttering incessantly: "Hurry up, wait a minute." Come on, it's almost ready..."

"You...you are..." Jessica only felt a buzzing in her ears, and a surge of hot blood rushed to her brain, and her whole face immediately became hot.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Sol showed a surprise expression of "it's here", and pulled his right hand outward.

"I almost forgot, for fear of accidentally dropping it, I put it in the pocket of my shorts, and this is it... Wow!?"

"You rascal!"

Amidst Jessica's scream, a fist quickly grew bigger in Sol's sight, and then it was firmly imprinted on his face.Unsurprisingly, the unlucky fellow was immediately knocked down.

At this time, Jessica also saw what Sol was holding in his hand, and she let out a cry of surprise, only to realize that she had thought too much just now.

"Are you okay?" She quickly helped Sol up.

"Why did you hit me?" Sol was still spinning.

How dare she say that it was because she thought of some nasty things, Jessica said awkwardly, "One, it was an accident."

Sol almost passed out, accident?What kind of accident can "accidentally" put your fist on my face, and the strength is so strong...

This can't be done, although Lao Tzu has always been sympathetic, but he can't be beaten in vain, he must make it clear today.

However, he did not expect that the "preemptive attack" method he had explored during the long-term struggle with Jessica was also mastered by her proficiently.

Just when Sol lifted up his sleeves and was about to question him in court.Jessica said beforehand: "Look at you, as the lord, but with disheveled clothes. Fortunately, I'm the only one here. If an outsider sees me, I don't know what I will say. Because of Xiaomei's incident that day, you already You were misunderstood, why haven't you learned your lesson?"

As soon as Sol's resentment rushed to his throat, Jessica slammed it back abruptly, choking so hard that he almost didn't roll his eyes.

"You...you...you..." Sol's fingers trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.He finally really felt how the opponent felt when he used this trick.

"Okay, just remember to pay more attention in the future. By the way, what do you want to show me?" Jessica made a Tai Chi circle hand, and revealed it lightly.

Sol's throat sweetened, and he could only swallow the dark pain abruptly.

He picked up the thing in his hand: "Do you know why I am so confident? Because of it."

It was the first time Jessica saw the key, she was confused: "What is this?"

Sol chuckled: "It's what Gris is looking for at all costs. This thing is not in the hands of necromancers at all. What do you ask them to give to the Adventurer's Guild?"

"What!" Jessica couldn't help but exclaimed, and then realized that this thing was of great importance, and quickly covered her mouth: "Why is it here with you?"

Saul proudly recounted the killing of the Lich that night, and finally said: "Except for you, everyone now thinks it was snatched by Collins. You really think I'm stupid, if it wasn't because it was in my hands , the ghost will believe that old guy's words, now even if they fight the necromancer to the death, they won't even get it."

Looking fixedly at Saul with a proud face, Jessica couldn't help but sighed: "You... I don't know whether you are smart or lucky."

Saul said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is both."

Ignoring his fart, Jessica said: "But I always feel that Gris is hiding a lot of things. Even if he can help us deal with the necromancer, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems in the future."

Sol curled his lips: "Don't worry about him so much, let's deal with the group of living dead first, and then slowly figure out a solution for the future."

As he spoke, he snorted, "I never believed the old man's words from the very beginning. If it was just for mere treasures, how could they be so desperate? There are obviously more important things in the ruins, and the old man really took me When a three-year-old child."

Jessica nodded: "Do you still remember what the 'Spirit of Kennylos' on Marlene kept mentioning? The things in the ruins are definitely not something that humans should master. I think there must be something ulterior in the Adventurer's Guild. trick."

Sol threw the key in his hand: "Don't worry, as long as they don't get this thing, they won't even think about touching the ruins."

Jessica said worriedly: "For it, the Adventurer's Guild is even willing to tear itself apart with the Necromancer's Guild. This thing is hotter than expected. If someone accidentally finds out that it's in our hands, I'm afraid..."

Sol nodded: "I understand, so I will send it back to Brevilla as soon as possible. Once it enters the dragon's lair, no one will be able to take it out again."

He didn't say anything about the deal with Brevila, not that he didn't trust Jessica.Those treasures will be transported back to Lowell sooner or later, but before they are confiscated by Jessica (although everything in the territory belongs to the lord, confiscation means that Sol can no longer use them as he likes), I have to save some Private money will do.

Naturally, she didn't know what was going on in Sol's heart, so Jessica asked, "When do you plan to do it?"

Sol thought for a while: "There's no rush, I'm not afraid of being discovered in a short time. And with the Adventurer's Guild coming out, I'm not afraid that those necromancers will come back to make trouble. Let's deal with the territory first."

Jessica hummed: "That's fine, the situation outside is chaotic now, it's safer to stay in the territory."

Suddenly, she noticed that Sol had stuck to her side at some point, and quickly lowered her head: "Is there anything else?"

As soon as he grabbed her hand, Sol said with a playful smile: "You see, the doors and windows are closed and airtight. It's rare for us to be alone. Such a good opportunity, how about..."

"Why not?" Jessica took a step back in panic.

Don't let it go, Sol presses on step by step: "It's better to have sex."

"I...I said no..."

Sol sneered: "There's nothing wrong with having sex between men and women, and besides, aren't we already so good?"

Jessica still wanted to retreat, but her butt touched something, but she was already forced against the table.Seeing that she had no way to escape, the excitement in Sol's eyes flashed away, and the shadow reflected on the wall behind him immediately raised his head and howled like a wolf.

On the surface, he pressed Jessica's shoulder with a righteous face: "Don't worry, no one will find out."

Jessica raised her head and was about to speak again, but saw Sol's pouting mouth approaching.She was taken aback, and suddenly she pointed behind him and said, "Ah, Marlene!"

Sol was startled, and hurriedly turned his head, but the door was closed, and there was no one there?

I screamed in my heart that it was not good, but as expected, Jessica in her arms twisted her body and broke free.

When she ran to the door, she didn't go out, but opened the door and called out: "Marlene, can you bring some snacks to the lord?"

Then he just turned his back against the wall and looked at Sol with a smirk on his face.

Unexpectedly, she would do this trick to him, and Sol was so angry that he almost vomited blood. With such a call, Marlene would come soon, so naturally he couldn't do anything.

Picking up Sol's coat from the ground, Jessica threw it at him: "Put it on quickly, it won't be good if Marlene sees it."

There was nothing he could do with her, Sol could only take it angrily and put it on.

"Do you still want to do bad things?" Jessica said with a smile.

Sol snorted, "Of course I do." As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, ready to pounce, "Since Marlene hasn't come yet, let's make a quick decision."

Jessica exclaimed in shock, turned and opened the door and ran out.

Rushed to the door, Sol still yelled: "Today I will show you what is the fastest man called Moji..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he almost collided with the person walking towards him.

With big eyes that fluttered open, Marlene asked in confusion: "Master, what is the fastest man? Are you running fast?"

A drop of cold sweat slowly left Sol's forehead.

Resentfully, she poked her head out to take a look, and there was no sign of Jessica in the corridor.Cursing inwardly, he had no choice but to wrap his arms around Marlene's shoulders and take the tray she was carrying with the other: "Oh... this is actually a very, very long story, come on, let the young master tell you slowly listen."

******************************************
At the same moment, on the road leading to the outside of Lovell, a carriage was galloping fast.

In the carriage, Gristow sat in front of the window, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, meditating quietly.

"Congratulations, President, they finally changed their minds, and we can continue to excavate the ruins." Suddenly, a man sitting beside him said.

As he spoke, he hesitated to speak: "Just, for this small territory, is it necessary for us to make such a big concession?"

Gliss withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Anyway, this is also the territory of the kingdom. Although Dinar is deeply involved in the war, who knows who will win in the future. It is always better to be cautious."

"Yes, the president is wise." The man lowered his head: "It's just that you need to think more about finding the key. The other party is the Necromancer Guild after all. Once a war starts..."

Gliss waved his hand: "Stop talking, I've already made up my mind. That thing is the key to unearthing the ruins, and we must get it back at all costs. Besides, the purpose of those necromancers is also intriguing, and they must not be allowed to get their hands on the ruins. Under this premise, everything is worthwhile, anyway, as long as we find the things in the ruins, whether it is the Lowell Territory, the Necromancer Guild, or even the entire Mojina, they will all surrender under our feet."

"I see." The man nodded.

Gliss continued: "But before you retrieve the key, you must establish a good relationship with Lovell, and you can't offend them again. Hmph, it's because of that idiot Raul who not only lost the key, but also put the guild in such a passive situation." , You must remember this lesson."

Hearing the seriousness in his words, the man hung his head in cold sweat, not even daring to take a breath.

"Then, those two little girls also..." After a while, he tried again.

"Do you want me to say it a second time? Don't do anything until you get the key back." Gliss glanced at him coldly.

The man immediately stopped talking.

Looking out of the window again, Gliss looked at the "Lowell Collar" sign flashing by the side of the road, with a helpless wry smile on his lips.

It's obviously just an insignificant small territory, but why does it make the guild spend so much effort?

But that's okay, soon, it won't be a problem anymore, it won't be...

**********************************************
After solving the problems of the Adventurer's Guild and the Necromancer's Guild, Sol seemed to have unloaded two heavy burdens, and he felt much more relaxed.Although Jessica avoided him as usual, he still had a relaxed and happy life these days.

Suddenly he discovered that the sky is so blue, the trees are so green, the air is so fresh, and life is so beautiful.

It seems that even the great god Dinisos suddenly became enlightened, and kindly drove away the dark clouds covering the roof for him.No, within a few days, another good thing came to my door.

The prospecting team organized by the dwarf tribe finally found high-quality iron ore in the western mountains!
Saul was having lunch when he just heard the news.Before the defender who came to report finished his sentence, he jumped up from his seat and ran away without a trace.

Iron ore, iron ore!Sol has been looking forward to this treasure since the first day he became the lord. In order to maintain sufficient iron production in the territory, the money spent on buying iron ore alone is in the millions.

Now, finally found this thing.Once the territory has a sufficient and stable supply of iron ore, the manufacturing industry that has been put on hold for a long time will be fully activated. At that time, Lovell will not only need to make money by reselling the special products of the frozen plateau, but will become an exporter.

Soon came to Manson's studio, Saul pushed the door and asked, "Where is the ore?"

In the studio, Manson, the patriarch of the dwarves, Leo, and Reed, were talking excitedly together. On the table beside them, some reddish-brown stones were scattered scattered.

Seeing him come in, several people immediately stood up.Sol couldn't wait to walk to the table: "Is this the one?"

Leo nodded: "Very high-quality ore, no worse than the rich iron ore produced in the Getin Mountains, your territory is indeed very rich."

Eagerly, he picked up the ore. Although he didn't know anything about this thing, Sol became more and more pleasing to his eyes.

At this time, Manson introduced: "Our prospecting team has worked hard and finally found a mineral vein in the western mountain range. Fortunately, this mineral vein is relatively close to the edge and very close to the territory. It is more difficult to transport it than imagined." Much smaller."

Has my bad luck finally passed?God, you are finally willing to give me the treatment that a leading actor deserves.

Excited, Sol asked: "How about the reserves of the vein?"

Leo glanced at him in surprise, as if wondering that this ignorant guy could ask such a professional question.He pulled over a stocky old dwarf: "He is Hanst, the most experienced miner in the clan. He led people to find the mine this time. Let him answer it."

Hanste said in a low voice: "The deposits of mineral veins are very rich, and it is estimated that they are enough for the territory to last for hundreds of years. This is not counting the derived branch mineral veins."

"Is it buried deep? How difficult is it to mine?" Thor asked another question that surprised all the dwarves.

In the world of Magina, there is a strict division of labor at the bottom of the industry, coupled with the fact that knowledge is difficult to spread, except for miners, most people know nothing about mining, let alone the high-ranking nobles.If you ask other lords, they may not even be able to tell whether the ore is buried in the soil or grows on trees.

But for Sol, who came from another world, although he doesn't know much about it, he still has some basic common sense.

Hey, do you know how powerful intellectuals are?It's so small, it doesn't scare you for a while.

Hansted was really bluffed, he was stunned for a while, and then he said: "Ah, yes. Although it is not an open-pit mine, the ore is not buried deep. For us dwarves, it is easy to mine."

Knowing this is enough, and if you ask any more questions, you should reveal your secrets.Saul nodded pretending to be an expert: "That's good, then, when can large-scale mining be formed?"

See, this professional term made the eyes of the dwarves immediately rise from surprise to admiration, and Hanst felt more like seeing each other later.

Only Manson and Reed, who knew everything about him, looked at each other. When did our lord become so knowledgeable?

Saul himself was also surprised by this, why did I jump up so many scary words today?It seems that luck really can't stop it, the state is amazing.

Mumbling and repeating "scale mining" several times, Hanst said: "You mean, when will a large amount of ore be mined? This word is really incisive."

Leo took over the words: "Our family currently has about 60 miners. If you can provide another 100 people, within two months, we can provide all the ore needed for the territory. Within half a year, the amount of ore mined will be reached a stable level."

Sol immediately made a decision: "That's it."

What, you ask me why I don't even have to think about it?Please, I'm the lord, I just need to make a decision.As for the troublesome things of organizing the staff, of course, just leave it to Jessica.

Irresponsibly pushing the difficult problem to his supervisor, Saul asked Manson again: "How is the preparation at the factory?"

Manson nodded: "Don't worry, as long as there is enough ore, the amount of iron smelting can be doubled immediately, and the output of other products can also follow. My workers have been idle for too long."

Because of the war, iron has become an important strategic resource. In addition, many iron ore producing areas have been occupied by Lulin, so the price of ore has skyrocketed, and the quantity that can be bought is very limited.Lovell has been facing a shortage of ore for quite a long time, and even other related industries have been affected.

Sol spent a lot of money to build the factory, but now it only exerts a very small productivity, and many workers have nothing to do, which shows how important it is to find the vein this time.

Now that mining and production are fine, then... Saul then turned his attention to his financial officer.

Understanding what he meant, Reed immediately said: "There is no need to worry about sales. The most popular thing during the war is weapons, especially now that there is chaos outside, and many lords need a lot of weapons to protect their territories. We use coke steelmaking to make them." The quality of their equipment is excellent, and they will definitely be popular. In fact, even if they only sell steel, the profit is already astonishing."

With the discovery of ore veins, all problems were solved.Sol seems to be able to see that in the near future, Lovell's products will be sold all over the world, coupled with the huge profits of frozen plateau special products, countless gold coins will pour into his pocket like flowing water.

If I move the treasure of Kajirido home again, hehe, I am afraid that the title of the richest man in Dinard will soon fall on my head.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

And all of this is because of the discovery of that iron ore.Thinking of this, Sol couldn't help saying: "By the way, where is the vein?"

Hmph, that's my Sol's blessed place, I need to find out where it is, and let Manson carve a God of Wealth to offer it to him another day.

Hanst took out a map, pointed to one of the places and said, "This is it."

Sol snorted, and suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he grabbed the map.After looking carefully for a while, an ominous feeling soon rose from the bottom of my heart.

Wait, wait a minute, it's not such a coincidence, is it?
Seeing that his expression was different, Hanst asked tentatively, "Is there any problem?"

Exhaling, Sol said, "When you were prospecting, did you feel that there was something wrong there?"

Hanste was taken aback, and then he stroked his beard: "You said that, I remembered. There are many monsters in the nearby mountains, and our prospecting team is often attacked. The strange thing is that there is not even a shadow of a monster over there." It’s really lucky that I can’t see it, and I don’t have to worry about the safety of the mine in the future.”

Lucky ass!Sol almost spit out a mouthful of blood, do you know why you can't see even a monster?Because there is a dragon living there, which monster dares to approach?
It is already certain that the iron ore that can drive the entire Lovell manufacturing industry, the blessed place where our young master Saul made a fortune, is so lucky to die, but it happens to be near the dragon's lair of Miss Elebena...

For a moment, Thor felt dizzy.God, you don't play with me like this, do you?

Reed quickly supported him: "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Turning his head blankly, Thor said dryly, "Do you remember that dragon?"

"Dragon?" Reed was taken aback, but then he reacted, and his face changed suddenly: "No way?"

"Dragon? What dragon?" Leo and the others heard about the blue dragon for the first time.

Manson took them aside and explained in a low voice.Here Reed looked at the map again: "My lord, are you sure the ore vein is near the dragon's lair?"

Secretly thought that I have been there so many times, how can I get it wrong.Sol nodded listlessly: "That's right, the fact that there are no monsters nearby is the best evidence."

Reed was also speechless. No wonder the lord was so depressed. This iron mine was found to be nothing. How can a dragon tolerate a group of people digging holes near their lair all day long?
At this time, Leo and the others also understood the cause and effect, and Hanst was surprised: "Then, there is a dragon nearby? Why didn't we encounter it when we were digging the ore?"

Elebena has been going out recently, and this prospecting team was lucky to escape and was not killed on the spot.From this point of view, they are really lucky.

It's just, why is the ore vein near the dragon's lair? Isn't this too outrageous?
For a moment, Sol just wanted to cry.Why, everything related to Lao Tzu's gold coins is always related to that female dragon?Could it be that she is really my death star?
Thor could even see that a large group of dark clouds gathered above his head again...

The matter suddenly took a turn for the worse, and when it developed to this point, everyone was speechless for a moment.After a long while, Reed comforted me: "Lord Lord, don't be too sad. Since it can't work here, let's find other mine veins."

It's a pity that the straightforward dwarf never understands euphemism, Hanst immediately said: "Impossible, there can only be one ore vein in the same mountain. Even if there are others, they are at least hundreds of miles away."

Sol waved his hand feebly: "I understand... I put the mine away in advance. It doesn't matter, it's just a little ore, isn't it just a little less gold coins, I don't care at all, hahaha..."

Seeing his sluggish and lifeless appearance, everyone broke into a cold sweat: Is this still called not caring?If he cared about getting up, wouldn't he hang himself?

At this time Sol thought, if I go to ask Elebena, will she allow us to mine?After all, everyone is so familiar, she should agree, right?Will it?
At the same time, in his heart, another Sol pulled his collar and slapped his face desperately: Idiot, wake up, you yourself know that this is impossible!

But one thing is certain, Lovell's manufacturing industry, which has just shown the dawn, has to be postponed indefinitely again.
