Chapter 21 No. 7 Mine Road

William laughed and didn’t answer Sigmund’s question , but instead asked him another unrelated thing.

“How do you feel about your life now?”

“What do you mean?”

Sigmund asked cautiously, if he was just skeptical before, now he It is almost certain that the person in front of him is definitely not a miner who was transferred over.

He was asking about the previous blockade of the mine, and he was almost asking about his living conditions. Even if he was an idiot, he should have seen that something was wrong.

Could it be a spy sent by the duke? Or the spies from the royal faction at the court?

Judging from the other party’s constant inquiries about the fact that the mine was blocked not long ago, it seems that the latter’s probability is greater.

In those days, the Duke obtained the actual ownership of Silver Stream Mine from the royal faction by means of inciting the miners to riot. Now, does the royal faction want to take advantage of the accident some time ago and use the way of others to heal the body of others?

“Or if I ask more directly, are you willing to live like this?”

Seeing that Sigmund didn’t seem to be going to answer, William continued to ask.

And this sentence made Sigmund think that the other party was a member of the royal faction.

“At least survive and not get involved in some unfathomable mystery.”

Sigmund replied.

Although he has not experienced the Silver Stream Mine riot twenty years ago, he has heard from old miners who have experienced it and understands how tragic it was.

In those days, those miners acted as the first birds to charge into battle. After making huge sacrifices to take back the ownership of the mine for the duke, the duke broke his original promise and exploited them even more.

Never believe in promises made to them by those in positions of authority.

The old miner who took him up the road had said that to him before he died in the mine accident.

“You can have a life if you live. If you want us to work hard for a promise that we don’t know if we can fulfill it in the future, I advise you not to ask any more. We are just here to ask for a living, not to give Too much trouble on my own.”

Sigmund continued.

“No wonder the overseer outside called you a ‘good guy’. Did you just rely on not making trouble and being tortured for others to be the talker here?”

William looked at him, using said in a mocking tone.

“You don’t need to provoke me, I won’t be fooled.”

At this moment, they are walking along the mine tunnel, and the sound of shovels and ore knocking is constantly heard from the front. come over.

As Sigmund spoke, he removed the shovel from his waist.

“The times have changed, and it’s completely different from 20 years ago. Back then, people here could rely on shovels and explosives to attack the overseer guards here, and they could block this mine by their own strength. , but now?”

Sigmund pointed to the top of his head.

“This is how the duke got his start. Do you think he will let this happen again? You saw it when you came in earlier. The guards here are the elite thorn black guards, the overseers. A magic caster with the title of expert, what do you expect us to do, to die?”

“No, I didn’t want to ask you that.”

William replied.

“From start to finish I’m asking you if you can accept the status quo.”

Sigmund was silent.

He said after turning a few more bends in the mine tunnel.

“You ask me if I can accept it. We are driven like dogs, because we will be whipped for not adding the word ‘adult’ in a sentence, and we will not be able to bury the body after we die in it. Rest in peace in the cemetery. Of course I can’t accept it, but so what, can this shitty reality be changed?”

His tone was calm.

And the other party’s next words almost didn’t choke him.

“If the entire Silver Stream Mine were to be managed by you, would you have the confidence to take care of it?”

“What?”

Sigmund felt that he Must have heard it wrong.

“I said if I gave you the whole mine, would you feel okay?”

“Why?”

“Because you didn’t Experience managing an Elemental Silver refinery.”

William gave an answer as it should be by rights, but obviously that wasn’t what he meant to ask.

“So you are really a member of the royal faction, and you want to incite a miner riot here again?”

Sigmund also made it clear.

“I just want the ownership of this mine, I don’t need you to riot. I ask these things because I need a competent person to help me manage this place.”

William said lightly.

“Is this what the people above you mean?”

“I don’t have people above, it’s my will.”

Sigmund was stunned , asked for a long time.

“So back to the previous question, who are you?”

“My real name isn’t ready to be said, but you can call me Judge.”

“Then, Your Excellency Judge, I would like to ask, where did you get the confidence to allow the Duke to hand over this mine and even the Elemental Silver Refinery to you?”

Now Sigmund began to think that the man who called himself the presiding judge was a lunatic.

“You’ve all been deceived.”

The man said suddenly.

“What was deceived?”

Sigmund asked.

“Didn’t you say earlier that Pit 7 was blocked due to the excavation of a Blackwater Kingdom-era skull temple two months ago?”

William said The volume was raised so that the sound of the ore being mined still sounded clear.

“So we’re digging the No. 9 mine right now. Is there anything wrong?”

At this moment, they just turned a corner and walked into a in a wide area.

William looked at everything in front of him and said in a cold tone.

“But when I came in, I clearly saw the sign that said Mine Road No. 7.”

At this moment they were outside the door of an open hall. All the miners gathered outside walked into this hall from different fork roads, and everyone was mechanically digging the rock wall here with a blank eye.

In the middle of the hall, there are countless skulls that have been turned into fossils. Dozens of phosphorescent Spirit Physiques float in the midair, and the shiny silk threads extending from them are connected to each miner’s body. on the head.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang…”

The sound of the shovel hitting the rock wall kept coming.

Sigmund first looked at the strange scene in front of him with a face as it should be by rights, and then strangely looked towards William beside him.

“Isn’t this the No. 9 mine, what’s wrong?”

“puchi…”

I don’t know if a plain straight sword When did it appear in William’s hands, before Sigmund could react, the sword sank deep into the throat of the boy named Colt that he had been holding.

“You…”

It happened so fast, Sigmund didn’t even know for a while whether he should rush over to fight the man in front of him, or first. Try to save the boy.

“You don’t even know that you were sold to the Moon Realm monster.”
