Chapter 19 Silver Stream Mine

Compared to the indecisive previous Duke of Thorn City , Duke Simon is much tougher when it comes to matters of vital interest, sometimes even at the expense of friction with the royal family of the Riel Empire.

Such as the attribution of Silver Stream Mine. From a legal point of view, since Terra I conquered the Blackwater Kingdom and changed it to the Blackwater Province, several large source silver mines headed by Silver Stream Mine should be the assets of the royal family, and the City Lord of Thorn City just managed it on his behalf.

However, after taking over as Duke of Thorns, the first thing Simon did was to unplug all the forces that the royal family had placed in Silver Stream Mine, making Silver Stream Mine completely Duke Simon’s private property, the royal family. Only one trade tax can be collected from the export trade of Origin Silver each year.

This incident once caused the people of Thorn City to be in danger, for fear that Duke Simon of the newborn calves do not fear tigers would make a blatant confrontation with the royal family if he disagreed, once again. Start a war in this cursed land.

However, it is strange that the royal family chose to compromise, and in the end, it was only a trade agreement that must give priority to the provision of high-quality Elementium Silver ingots to the Imperial War Mage Academy and the Star Council.

In today’s Silver Stream Mine, the security guards are the elite thorn black guards, all the miners employ local people with no background, and even the oversight management is assigned to the court mages under them.

For the Duke, this is indeed a firm grasp of the industry, but for the supervisor who was dispatched, a magic caster stooped to the mine. As a supervisor in the cave, anyone will have a lot of complaints.

Especially the overseer who is being challenged by this new miner in front of him at this moment. As a magic caster with an expert title, he should have been noticed in the court, or continued in the Academy. subject research.

As a result, just because of a political mistake, he was assigned to this mine to manage a group of ordinary people who were covered in dirt.

Whoever comes here will not have a good temper.

So the first rule he made when he came here was that anyone who spoke to him had to add the phrase “adult” after him. Although it is difficult for him to find any sense of superiority from these miners, he can at least relieve some of the humiliation of being dispatched.

And this new miner who has just been transferred in front of him dares to joke about these rules.

Everyone looked at the daring newcomer.

The overseer did not have an immediate attack, but said with a gloomy expression.

“Show me your transfer order.”

Every miner who comes to Silver Stream Mine will be strictly checked by the Chamber of Commerce to verify their identity. This eliminates the possibility of other forces inserting eyeliners into Origin Silver Mining. Even if they are transferred from other mines, they need to sign a transfer order with a rose stamp.

William took a folded “Order” out of his pocket.

This is a blank white paper.

It would be wrong to say that it was white paper. When the overseer opened it, a lot of fine tadpole text appeared on the paper, but it only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, and the overseer’s eyes were also lost for a while. second.

After he came back to his senses, he folded the paper as if nothing had happened and handed it back to William.

“You join the team first, and we will talk about the contradicting things later.”

The overseer said calmly.

The surrounding miners looked towards the overseer in disbelief, and when he turned his eyes around again, they all hurriedly lowered their heads.

When did his temper get so good?

…………

didn’t expect even the overseer here is a magic caster. Fortunately, the Legendary spell [Mark of Confusion] prepared in advance is not an expert spell [Confused Humans], or else you can’t really be fooled.

In the game, these two skills are only the skills of the Illusion Technique system. The effect is to temporarily ignore the enemy during stealth. The only difference is that the former can be effective on intelligent creatures below level 50, and then The other is that it can only take effect on humans below Level 20.

But after crossing, William found that these two Illusion Technique skills are as described, which can confuse the mind of the caster to a certain extent, of course, it is only a momentary confusion, and cannot be manipulated. level.

But it’s fine to let him infiltrate this mine first.

Row after row of magic crystal lamps lit up in the mine, and miners filed in, wearing personal equipment in front of the mine elevator.

William imitated other people’s actions to tie the rope to himself, but the method was a little messy, and it was not tied for a long time. At this time, the tall man named Sigmund came over.

“Go through this place below and tie a knot here…”

He patiently instructed William to put on the equipment for going down.

“The miners’ equipment in several mines in Thorn City should be similar. This is your first time in a mine?”

After helping William get dressed, he seemed to be asked unintentionally.

“Well, this is the first time I went down the mine, can you tell me about the situation here?”

Sigmund looked towards the man in front of him in surprise.

Although I just asked tentatively, I never thought that he had never actually been in a mine.

He had never seen such a thing before. How could it be possible to let someone who has never been in a mine enter Silver Stream Mine? After taking it for a period of time, it began to mine in the real sense.

Combined with the strange attitude of the previous overseer after seeing the “transfer order”, Sigmund couldn’t help but doubt the true identity of the person in front of him.

There are rumors that Duke Simon visited several mines to investigate before he took office. Of course, his purpose is definitely not to observe the sentiments of the miners, but to find out the specific operation of the entire source quality silver industry, so as to pave the way for him to completely regain the dominance of the source quality silver industry.

Then who is this person who doesn’t look like a miner now?

Thinking of this, Sigmund shook the head in my heart.

Whoever he is, it must not bring any change to them.

Twenty years ago, the game between the Duke of Thorns and the Riel Royal Family seemed to have changed the situation in the entire Blackwater Province, affecting the fate of countless nobles and bureaucrats. But for the miners, it’s just that the slaves have changed their masters. Even after the duke took full power and sent the thorns black guards and court mages as their managers, their lives seemed to have become more difficult.

“Shall we go down here?”

William asked, looking at the bottomless pit.

Sigmund came back to his senses and replied.

“Yes, but waiting for the elevator, the shallow mines have been dug up, and now you have to go deeper underground to find the mines.”

Saying At the same time, an elevator with an area of 5 square meters and a shape like a steel cage was lifted up.

“Same as last time, go down to No. 9 mine road in groups of ten, remember to turn on the magic crystal miner’s lamp after going down to save energy. Each group brings a cage of golden-tailed birds, and the birds appear. If there is a problem with the exception, come up immediately.”

Sigmund said to William and the child named Colt after speaking to the crowd.

“You two go down to the mine with my first group.”

The two people are nodded.

With the crunching sound of gears, the elevator slowly descended.

“You have to remember…”

On the way down the elevator, Sigmund suddenly opened the mouth and said.

“When you go back at night, remember to slow down and calm down in front of the supervisor. Although I don’t know why he didn’t get angry directly before, he is quite a vengeful person. Don’t really get angry with him.”

p>

William laughed, asking a question unrelated to the previous topic.

“I heard that Silver Stream Mine was briefly blocked not long ago, do you know why?”

“Shhh! Don’t talk about that here.”
