When Darko walked out of the mine, he found that it was nearly dusk, and the sun was shining obliquely on the ground at the entrance of the mine, casting two burly figures clearly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info got closer to hear the voices of Wood and Yaheng, they were talking about something, and the tone felt like they wanted to hear the same in the distance in Mine No. 3 and No. 5.

"I think back then, I killed half of the caravan by myself, and then ransacked them and left......," Wood reminisced about his past heroics, his face intoxicated.

"What are you talking about? I didn't even see it when I came out?" Darko walked up behind Wood and patted them on the shoulder.

"Ahh But you have always brought us in, and we can't find the way by ourselves, and we are still worried about you. ”

"Stupid, Darko Boss is so strong, what are you worried about?" Yaheng pushed Wood away, and then explained, "Darko Boss, we are here to chat because we don't need to collect rent anymore. As of yesterday, all eleven new offenders had already bought their own tools, so ......"

Yaheng had a little more brains than Wood, paying attention to Darko's expression, and he couldn't collect the rent in just seven days, which was not a happy thing to say.

"That's good, that's good, that's good. Darko laughed, he clearly remembered that several of them had not been able to buy their own tools for half a month.

Wood and Yaheng looked at Darko's smile, confused.

"Boss Darko, borrow some gold ore. At this time, the prisoners had already come out of work and began to borrow money from Dakko, so the three of Dakko were busy again.

On this day, there were still many people who came to borrow money, and the three of them were busy until the sun went down. Wood scratched his head strangely, "It's strange, the boss's safe mine roads have already been drawn for them, why do they always have to borrow?"

"The people who come to borrow money are not only those who want to get the news of safe mining tunnels, but also many of them who have already gone deep into the mining tunnels. Yaheng observed more carefully than Wood, and was equally puzzled, "Compared with before, there are obviously more borrowers, which is incredible." ”

"Enjoyment and comparison actually exist everywhere, but it is limited by personal ability. In the past, the prisoners could dig less ore and were afraid to borrow too much if they could not afford it, but now they find that they can dig far more ore every day in the depths than before, and they can borrow more money to enjoy it. While explaining to the two Woods, Darko was also sorting out his own thoughts, "Most of the prisoners outside may spend a lot of money today and die on the streets tomorrow, and naturally they have developed the habit of spending tomorrow's money today." As long as you can give them the expectation of higher mining yields tomorrow, they will naturally need to borrow more. ”

Wood didn't seem to understand, but Yaheng patted his head and said, "I saw that the new prisoners bought their own tools and felt that they were at a loss, so in this case, we made the most money?"

"It's not us who make the most money. Darko still smiled, he knew that such a big change should also attract some attention, "With so much cheap labor, no matter how much you toss, the biggest winner will always be prison." ”

……

In the free market of the Adamantite Prison, in a treasury on the far north side, Byron was sitting at his desk reviewing the financial list.

Byron was the treasurer of the Adamantite Prison, responsible for all aspects of the prison's procurement, expenditure, and resource allocation, and his own rank as a high-ranking samurai was the icing on the cake compared to the power of this position. It is like many revered appraisers, who may not have much combat power in their own right, but their intelligence and resources at their disposal are extremely large. Although Byron does not have the qualifications of an appraiser, he is not to be underestimated as the financial director of the entire Adamantite Prison.

Placing the office next to the free market, as Byron himself intended, had two considerations. One is to allow him to see the prosperity of the free market, where every deal is made symbolizing an increase in the prison finances, which can increase his own sense of fulfillment. The second is that it is convenient for prisoners to exchange pure gold ore, and the value of the pure gold ore dug up by prisoners is too high, which is equivalent to currency with too large face value in the free market, and it is not circulated, so it is necessary to set up a change service.

In fact, this kind of thing can be left to any jailer, but Byron always does it himself, and he likes to collect the pure gold ore with his own hands, and is the first to admire their quality. For the major churches, gold ore can only be used to mint gold coins, while adamantite ore is the real hard currency. As the main raw material, magic metal plays a self-evident role in the Ametsia plane, which is dominated by magical civilization, and its mass production into magical items will have an impact on the strength of the church.

It's just that the production of adamantite ore is extremely limited after all, and no more than ten prisoners come here every day to exchange pure gold ore for gold ore. So in this storehouse, Byron also prepared ten ore baskets, each containing fifty pieces of gold ore, which could be exchanged for one piece of pure gold ore.

However, it seems that there are a lot of Adamantite Ore produced today, and within more than an hour of the prisoners finishing work, there have already been nine prisoners who have exchanged for Adamantite Ore. Byron looked at the Adamantite Ore in a row in front of him with some surprise, he had already forgotten how long ago he had received nine Adamantite Ore in one day.

Byron immediately began to study the information of the previous prisoners, and it was a habit of him to find patterns in certain events. Soon he discovered something unusual, seven of the nine people who had exchanged Adamantite Ore before were from Cave Four. What is the situation in Cave No. 4? Could it be that there is a little more pure gold in it? Byron immediately denied this speculation, no matter which cave has been dug for decades, it is impossible that a large reserve of pure gold has not yet been discovered. Looks like this matter needs to be looked into carefully.

Just as he was thinking this, another prisoner walked in the room, and Byron immediately noticed that the prisoner was holding a piece of ore in each of his left and right hands, and it was all pure gold ore! Byron was immediately stunned on the spot, a pattern that had not changed for many years had been broken today, and the ten baskets of gold ore he had prepared were not enough.

Byron hurriedly asked, "Which mine are you from?"

The prisoner was obviously aware of Byron's position in the Adamantite Prison, and hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully, "Report to Lord Byron, I am a new prisoner in Mine No. 4, Luza. ”

……

At the same time, in a storeroom not far away, six prisoners were gathered, apparently in a meeting.

"Hole 4 has probably tripled the total amount of ore and doubled the production of pure gold ore. "It was a hooked nose who was speaking as an agent of Mine One, Miro.

"I heard that Darko drew some so-called safe mine roads for some of the prisoners who borrowed money from him, and those prisoners went into it smoothly, so naturally there was more mining. "Quink is the agent of Cave Three, and the closest to Darko Cave 4 is more information.

"Well, that's right, and their mine hasn't been reduced in the past few days, so it seems to be very safe. Next to Quunk was a man with glasses who looked like Sven, the agent of Mine Six. Although his appearance was not as fierce as the others, no one dared to underestimate him, because he was a high-level arcane magician and his strength was quite strong.

"I can't go on like this, there are already prisoners in my mine who are restless, and they are all thinking about transferring to Mine No. 4. A balding old man in his fifties took the lead in bringing the topic to the right track, he was the agent of Mine No. 5, and his mine was already the least profitable in terms of loan profits and total output value, and he was not afraid to show weakness first.

"It's because he cleared out the zombies in the depths of the mine and artificially created a safe mine. "The agent of Cave No. 2 was a man with an indifferent expression, and his words did not contain uncertain words such as possibility or maybe, and it was clear that this conclusion had been investigated.

"The shackles do have a much smaller effect on the magician. Quink flicked the shackles off his wrists in frustration, making a rattling sound. He had fought with Darko, so he was naturally deeply aware of the gap between the two, and knew that he might not be Darko's opponent even if he was not bound by shackles, but he would definitely not say this kind of thing, so he used this as an excuse to say it.

"I can't do it. The man with glasses didn't give Quink face at all, and directly admitted the fact that Darko was stronger, "Even with a meat shield in front, I can't quickly clear the mine in a large number of zombie sieges, it takes an extremely fast spell casting speed." ”

As soon as the glasses man said this, the other agents were silent, as the most explosive arcane magician, he all admitted that he was inferior to Darko in terms of fast spellcasting, how strong was that Darko?

For a moment, the eyes of the five agents were all focused on Barr, who had not spoken. Baal is not only their boss, but also the most powerful of the entire Adamantite Prison's inmates. Dacko still had at least two samurai in front of him, but many years ago, Barr had gone deep into the mines by himself.

At the beginning, Baal was just an ordinary prisoner, drawing all the directions in the depths of the mine and distributing them for free, but he was ridiculed by many people, who thought he was making it up. However, as some of the prisoners ventured into the depths, it was confirmed that Barr's map was correct. Since then, Baal's strength has been known to everyone, and although he has never shown it in public, no one will question it again.

What the agents didn't know was that Barr had actually traveled to every corner of the mine, and he was just too lazy to draw up detailed maps, otherwise he would have made a fortune just by selling them.

Barr seemed to be muttering to himself, "It's been too quiet lately, so you might as well rotate the agents." ”

As soon as he said this, the five agents present immediately became moved again. The rotation of agents is not unheard of in the past, but it is only because the agents have conflicts with too many prisoners under them that they will be rotated. And now Barr is now proposing the rotation of agents, which is undoubtedly aimed at Dakolai, which is something that the agents present are happy to hear. However, before they could be happy for a second, the five agents immediately became wary of each other, and it was a key question which one would be exchanged for Cave 4.

There was only one Cave No. 4 that Daktros had cleared out of the safe mine, but there were five of them seated, and only one of them could be transferred to Cave No. 4.

"Well, that's not bad, I'm also a magician, and I'm just trying to see what kind of means Dakko relies on to clear the mine. The man in glasses was the first to speak.

"I've dealt with Dakko before, and we're close to each other, so it's natural to rotate this kind of thing. Quink also took it upon himself and immediately began to fight for his own interests.

"Kunk, your so-called dealings seem to have been beaten by others, but many prisoners saw you returning from Mine 4 with a bunch of men. Miro, the hook-nosedrench, pierced Kunk mercilessly, a look of disdain on his face.

"What did Miro say?" Quunk's face flushed, his fists clenched tightly, but what Miro said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it.

"Ahem, don't make any noise, don't be noisy, why are young people so impulsive nowadays, and they don't know how to respect the elderly at all. The bald old man's words didn't look like he was fighting for the right to be a surrogate, but like he was complaining. After all, no matter his strength or level, he is the last to sit in this group of people, and he can only rely on the old man to sigh a few words.

All four agents showed a little bit of presence, except for Mine No. 2's agent, Kano, who didn't seem to be interested. But Barr's gaze turned to Kano, "Kano, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Kano was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said succinctly, "Whether Dakko is willing to accept the rotation is still a question, it is better to ask his opinion first." ”

Barr nodded, turned to Quink and said, "Kunke, you know Darko, so it's up to you to test his reaction." ”

Quink was also stunned, he didn't expect this task to fall on his head, but he looked at the contemptuous eyes of Miro next to him, and he had to grit his teeth and nod fiercely.

"In that case, let's see which mine Dakko wants to rotate to as a surrogate. Barr was not guilty of either, and left the difficult choice to Darko. As for whether Darko will accept the rotation, he has not worried at all, as if the matter has been secured.
