Broad World

Chapter 220: Underground mine

The crowd searched the corpse. Found a few bottles of healing potions, steel armor and tower shields reinforced by magic, a cold-resistant robe, a traveler's robe, and finally a magic meteor hammer. Everyone simply allocated these things, and left them to Henry for safekeeping if they were not needed for the time being.

Along the wooden houses on both sides of the camp, a group of people searched one by one. They not only killed a large number of guards, but also released a lot of blacksmiths who were arrested to work. According to these people, there is a mine at the end of the camp. There are not only a large number of mine slaves, but also the boss who is in charge of this place at the lowest level.

Following the directions pointed out by these people, everyone found an entrance to the underground in a hut at the end. This is a hanging basket controlled by a mechanical runner, and anyone who enters and exits the tunnel can only ride it. Taking a look at the bottomless pothole, Henry turned his head and asked the teammates behind him: "Are you all ready? There is no way out after going down here."

"Retreat? I never considered such a problem. All we need to do now is to rush in and kill all these scumbags." Apodell raised his leg and jumped into the basket without hesitation.

Minsk then jumped in and patted him on the shoulder. "Well said! We never retreat against the evil! Boob has already smelled the stench from the hobgoblins below, so hurry up and kill him."

Henry looked at the morale team and shook his head with a smile, and then said to the blacksmith behind him: "Send us down now. It's time for these traffickers and robbers to pay a price."

Several blacksmiths bowed deeply. "Don't worry, we will control this machine. Please rescue some of the mine slaves below. They are all miserable. Not only do they have to eat, they are also beaten frequently."

"We will definitely rescue everyone. You are here waiting for the good news of victory." Imoen stood in the basket and rushed up with a wave, and then the whole machine started to start slowly.

The gondola descended very quickly, and it only took a few minutes for a group of people to reach the underground nearly 100 meters deep. Henry came out of the basket to observe the surrounding environment and found that the iron ore here was buried very deep, and it was indeed a place where the dwarves hid. I'm afraid the Iron Throne has spent a lot of thought to get this mine.

Just when they were just about to explore forward. Suddenly a heavily armed mercenary ran over and shouted: "Hey! Who are you? I haven't said recently that we will send someone down."

Apodale rushed over with a grinning smile, and with a chain flail he flew the weapon in the man's hand, and the long sword followed his throat with a sword. Before the mercenary even let out a scream, he fell to the ground with a puff. Henry glanced at the corpse and sighed helplessly. "You should slow down, at least wait for us to ask a few questions before killing him."

"Sorry, I just confiscated my hand. I thought of what these guys did. I didn't get angry." Apodale kicked the corpse angrily.

Henry shook his head. "Forget it, there should be a lot of live mouths in there anyway. Next time you meet a mercenary, remember to keep one. We need to know the internal structure of the mine."

A group of people walked in the narrow mine, and the braziers on both sides of the wall illuminate the way forward. They didn't go far before they saw the hall in front of the tunnel. The six supervisors inside were screaming at the mine slaves to work, and the long whips in their hands were beating on the ground from time to time. There was a "pop" sound.

Henry beckoned to Imoen behind her, and she knew that she would immediately hide in the shadow and move forward slowly. The girl came to a person and quickly covered his mouth, and the dagger pierced into the brain from the jaw. Imoen killed five people in a row in this way, and the last one realized something was wrong. Just when he was about to yell for support, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck, which turned out to be a blood-stained dagger against his throat.

"Don't kill me! I know all the secrets here." The overseer shouted for mercy with a pale face.

Henry walked out of the tunnel and stared into his eyes and asked: "You'd better answer the questions honestly, so that you don't suffer a little bit of flesh and blood. First tell the structure of the mine. Then talk about who is in charge here. ."

"You have to make sure that you don't kill me after answering the questions, otherwise I won't say anything." The supervisor pretended to be calm and asked everyone to protect their lives. But his trembling legs betrayed his mood at this time.

Henry's mouth turned up slightly, and he played a word game with this guy. "No problem. I swear in the name of the goddess of magic, as long as you don't lie or deliberately conceal it, we will spare your life after the questioning is over."

After the overseer was guaranteed his life, he told everything about him. The mine is divided into four floors. The first floor is where the miners work, the second floor is where the slaves and mercenaries rest, and the third floor is where the dwarves used to smelt iron ore and craft weapons, but now they have been cold-blooded. Hobgoblins took over. On the fourth and last floor, there lived a mage named Dawan. He is the person in charge sent here by the Iron Throne.

Jasila frowned when she heard the information. The situation here is more complicated than she thought. Not only are various tunnels extending in all directions, but the number of enemies is also very large. If one is not careful, it is likely to be blocked inside, and even a place to retreat will not be found.

Just as Jasila lowered her head to think, a slave came over cautiously and asked: "Excuse me. Are you here to rescue us slaves?"

Imoen smiled and nodded. "Of course! You are free now. Go to the hanging basket, the mercenaries above have been cleaned up."

"Great! We are free at last. Thank you! Thank you so much! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Forty or so slaves thanked them and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Looking at these scrawny people, Apodale kicked the overseer fiercely, then turned his head and asked Henry: "This guy is just letting go? That would be too cheap for him."

"You can't kill me! This person promised just now that as long as I answer the questions honestly, my life will be guaranteed." The overseer let out a scream like a pig.

A wicked smile appeared on Henry's face. He patted Jiangong's face vigorously and whispered: "Yes. I did promise not to kill you, but that doesn't mean that you can't punish you. While you can still think soberly, please repent." After talking about the five-level magic "mental handicap", he was released to the overseer.

Apodell was surprised to find that this person's pupils began to spread slowly, and the saliva from the corners of his mouth could not stop flowing down, looking like a fool. "Hey, buddy. What did you do to him? This guy seems to have become an idiot!"

"It's nothing, it's just a mentally retarded technique. The effect of this magic is permanent, which means that he will remain in this silly state for the rest of his life."

Jasila glanced at the overseer who had begun to catch mice all over, and sighed. "This is already a very severe punishment for him. Let's go, there are many enemies waiting for us in front."

A group of people walked along the tunnel to clear the mercenaries and overseers, while freeing the slaves. It took more than two hours to clean up the entire layer. At the end of the passage, they found a huge plug. According to the slaves guarding here, as long as this thing is opened, it will cause floods, and then the entire lower level of the mine will be submerged.

Henry immediately rejected the proposal. Just kidding, he has regarded this mine as his own property. As long as all the iron thrones are killed, someone will be sent to take over immediately. Taking advantage of the fact that the iron ore of Nasikai is still unusable, as long as it is operated properly, it can completely monopolize the steel trade in the entire Baldur's Gate area.

After sending away the slaves who had come out of bad ideas, everyone went to the second floor of the basement. They cleared the room one by one, and all the mercenaries and overseers were killed. After clearing the enemy, Apodale smashed the cell door and released all the slaves who were imprisoned. After these people expressed their gratitude, they fled here in a hurry.

At the entrance of the third floor, a group of people was ambushed by the enemy. More than a dozen mercenaries and hobgoblins rushed out of the passage to enclose them in the middle. Henry immediately let Caster One release a "serial lightning", and the beating arc made these guys who thought they had the advantage paid a heavy price. Most of the people were electrocuted on the spot, and the rest were cut to pieces by several soldiers.

Henry took a few steps, and obviously felt that the temperature here was much higher than above. Just when he was a little puzzled, a room with lava flowing in front appeared. Several hobgoblins are smelting iron ore with high-temperature ground fire, and the sweat from their bodies emits an unpleasant stench, which is comparable to the second-level magic "Smelly Cloud Technique".

Danahei shot a fireball without hesitation, and the explosion directly sent all the hobgoblins into the magma, and they were all burned to ashes in an instant. Henry observed the ravines on the ground. The magma was not only hot, but also rich in minerals. He checked the black iron ingots next to him, and found that the hardness and toughness were even twice as good as the steel ingots produced in his own territory~www.ltnovel.com~ Henry secretly sighed that it was a good place. When the time comes to divide the territory with Anta Silver Shield, you must firmly control this place in your own hands. In the next battle, he didn't skimp on the spell slot, and the hobgoblins, human mercenaries, and three mages were all killed as quickly as possible.

At the end of the passage, everyone found a dwarf named Yaslik, and learned the history of the mine from his mouth. This was originally the site of the dwarves, but one day they dug through the underground waterway, and the raging flood drowned almost everyone. Aslick escaped alone and told the news to a man named Rita.

What happened later was that the Iron Throne reopened the mine and used it as a secret base. And he was also forced to design plugs for these people to plug the huge gap.
