When Jeff the blacksmith found the busy Thor at the distribution point, it was not difficult to see from Jeff's expression that there should be no good news, and Thor pulled him to a quiet place with a backlight.

"I've taken a closer look at the foot of the mountain, but I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't find any trace of iron ore. Jeff was a little apprehensive, as if he had failed to fulfill the lord's entrustment, or that the results he had brought back had not met the lord's expectations.

"It's okay, I'll find a way to get a batch of ore back later, and I hope you can contribute to the territory when the time comes. Thor smiled kindly and patted him on the shoulder.

Thor is not familiar with this field of ore, and since he does not have it, there is nothing to force and regret.

"Actually, it's not necessarily none, it's just that my personal ability is limited, and I can't tell whether there are iron ore veins from the surface of the mountain. ”

"To see if there are veins on the surface, it may require a senior ore merchant who has studied geology, or a certain amount of shallow excavation, and I can only distinguish the veins in detail when they are exposed, but it will take a lot of manpower......"

Jeff was a little reluctant to speak, and Thor reacted. He originally thought that there was no iron ore vein, and what Jeff said was that it was not visible from the surface, and he needed to dig up and reveal something to judge, but he was worried about the cost of manpower.

"Very good, don't worry about manpower at all, in fact, I originally planned to organize people to mine stone and use it for construction to improve the living environment and quality of the people in the future, and now your proposal is just right. ”

"Then you spend a little more time and keep an eye on the ore. Well, or so, why don't I arrange for some people to be led by you in the mining and identification of the stones?" Thor asked uncertainly, after all, stonemasonry and blacksmith are two professions.

"Be driven by you, honorable lord. Jeff bowed.

In fact, he himself is a little urgent, after all, he is useless without ore, if he can really find the ore vein, that is when he can truly reflect his value in the territory. As for the amount of work involved in mining stone, it is nothing at all.

Without getting a response from the lord, Jeff looked up only to find that the lord seemed to be a little distracted, and was looking at the material distribution point behind him, and he also subconsciously followed it.

Wyke and his two henchmen walked through the settlement's makeshift dirt road to the distribution point.

It was really tiring to cut down the trees all morning today, but he didn't dare not obey the assignment.

After a short night, Wyke had made it clear that there were three people in the entire territory that he couldn't provoke. One is naturally a third-order lord, the other is a second-order lizard man and a second-order dwarf halfling.

This kind of inability to provoke is not only because they are lords, but also because the strength of others themselves is also an intuitive deterrent.

As for Beth in front of her, although she was also a first-order like herself, Wyck didn't care too much. He suspected that it was an adventurer that the lord had taken in halfway, even the lizard man and the halfling.

The point is that while half of the woman's face is beautiful, the other half is hidden behind a silver mask, which may seem mysterious to the eyes of ordinary lords, but a seasoned adventurer like Wyke can guess at a glance that the mask may just be there to hide the scars.

This means that the woman is flawed and most likely does not have much to do with the lord. And it is said that this woman has always been very low-key in the territory, and will only work diligently all day long, which has attracted Wyke's attention.

Of course, he didn't dare to think anything wrong, not to mention that Beth still came with the lord, even if it was replaced by an ordinary woman in the territory, he didn't dare to have an idea. The environment has changed, and so has the way of life.

No matter how ambitious you are, you can only lie dormant at the moment, and unnecessary thoughts and vices must be curbed for the time being.

The reason why I am interested in Beth is because of the position where the other party is located, material management and distribution, and merit statistics, which is undoubtedly the biggest fat difference in the territory at present.

For the meritorious system, people like Wyke will never like it in their bones, because there is no cash. If one day he wants to leave this territory, he will get nothing but walk bare-assed.

However, since he is not strong enough, he can only play according to other people's game rules at present, but this rule is not without loopholes.

If you can have a good relationship with the woman named Beth in front of you, and the other party casually leaks some materials, or helps you change the numbers on the merit record, your life in the territory will undoubtedly be much easier and richer in the future.

I certainly can't mix with the farmers who only dig all day long, so I have to find and create opportunities by myself.

"Hello, beautiful lady, I don't know if I have the honor of inviting you to have a drink with you. Wyke straightened the hem of his shirt and half-bent over Beth, who thought he was a gentleman, bowed.

Although the day is not over yet, and the exploits of the newcomers have not yet been counted, as an adventurer, there will definitely be some coins on hand at any time.

Alcohol is also available at the distribution point at all times, which can be purchased with coins or merits, and there are no strict limits on what you can drink, as long as it doesn't interfere with your daily work.

"Sister Beth, don't believe him, that guy is a bad guy, it turns out that when he was still in Tidal Village, he often bullied the villagers with his strength. Linda, who was busy at the distribution point together, quietly approached Beth and whispered a reminder.

Damn, Linda, this little slut, if you hadn't cared about your mother's position as the village chief, Lao Tzu would have played you to death with his subordinates.

Seeing Linda's small gesture of approaching Beth's head to ear, a touch of viciousness flashed in Wuck's eyes, this little slut was obviously doing bad for himself.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy right now and can't leave work. Sure enough, Beth said in a cold and perfunctory tone.

"Yes, I firmly believe that you are a hardworking person. But I think it's still necessary to have a proper combination of work and rest, you can take a break, and I, as an enthusiastic new citizen, can ask you a little bit about the territory in a timely manner. ”

Wyke politely held out his palm, still holding on to his invitation.

It's pointless to be cheeky or anything, his requirements are not high, I want to see if Beth has any benefits here, no matter how bad it is, it would undoubtedly be an easy job if he could mix in the material distribution point through the other party.

Beth frowned, and was about to say something when she suddenly lost her voice.

Thor and Jeff were standing in the darkness of the backlight on the side of the distribution point, but when Jeff felt the wind and subconsciously turned his head, he realized that the lord beside him had disappeared for some time.

"Boom!" After a slight slash, Wyke's hand fell to the ground before he could retract it.

"Ah~!" Linda and the surrounding people subconsciously exclaimed, and they all took two steps back.

"This is my woman. Thor looked at Wyke with a smile.

"Well, ...... Your lord, you misunderstood, I didn't have the slightest disrespect for your wife! I just had a problem......

Wyke clutched his injured arm, holding back the pain that made his eye sockets bloodshot. He felt very aggrieved, he didn't mean that originally, but now he was obviously misunderstood by the lord.

In fact, Wyke is indeed a little wronged, he does not covet Beth's beauty, at least not at the moment. He just wanted to make a little contact to see if there was any other opportunity, and he didn't expect to cause such a violent reaction from the lord.

When he inquired about the news before, he didn't go to the relationship between the lord and Beth, because it wasn't necessary.

"If you have any questions, now I will answer them to you personally. ”

"I'm sorry Lord, I don't have it. Wyke covered the wound with his right hand and bowed his head humbly, resentment rolling in his heart.

"Bang!" another sound, and Wyke's remaining right hand fell to the ground.

"Now, are there any new questions?" Thor still smiled.

"Ahh As an adventurer, his hands are broken, and his resentment is no longer hidden.

"Bang!" Before Wyke could utter his last nonsense, a head rolled to the side, and his body went limp.

"A few people will clean up the place, strip off the clothes and throw the corpses into the wilderness, without burial, and this kind of waste will not even qualify for the earth. ”

"These two of his subordinates will become the first slaves in the territory from today, doing the most tiring work and eating the least food, and see the follow-up performance. If there is any discontent or complaint, it will be starved to death. ”

Thor called out a few people from the crowd, turned his head to look at Wyck's two men, who were already trembling with fear, shook the blood from his sword lightly, and turned back to Jeff's side.

"Where did we go about what we just talked about?" asked Thor with a smile.

"Uh! I just said that I led some people to mine the stone and identify the veins. Thanks to the lord's trust, the villain will definitely work hard to complete this matter. Jeff felt a little hard in his tone.

Is this really the young lord who was still talking and laughing with himself just now because of a little ore, but in the blink of an eye, he beheaded people? Jeff's original respectful attitude was even more respectful, and he wanted to lie on the ground.

"I'm sorry to scare you, a little thing. That guy named Wyke dared to tease my woman in front of my eyes, you are also from Tidal Village, I heard that he used to be very rampant in the village?"

"Yes! Good death! How dare you be disrespectful to the lord's wife! He should have died a long time ago! and those two men often bullied the villagers, and they have always been resented, and thank the lord for removing a vicious dog from the territory. Jeff immediately shouted with a good eye.

"I'll work hard for you in the future, I'm a person with clear rewards and punishments, and you'll know slowly. Thor smiled slightly.

Thor knew very well that people like Wyke were destined to bring more turmoil to the territory, but before it happened, there was no good excuse to send him to his ancestors, and he couldn't turn that bad past into today's story.

It just so happened that the opportunity was good today, and the charge was deducted.

As for the real reason, I want to kill you, and that's enough.
