Two hours later.

Around noon.

In a huge mine more than a dozen miles outside of Rice, the scorching sun hung high.

The crimson sun, as big as a wheel, hangs in the middle of the sky, constantly scorching the earth, and in this late summer and early autumn, it does not hesitate to release the little heat left over from the year.

Beneath the sun is the mine's open-pit deposits dotted with pits, as well as numerous caverns carved out of the nearby hills.

Thousands of miners, naked, like worker ants in an ant colony, work in all corners of the mine. Even if it was so hot that he was sweating, he didn't have time to wipe it, and let the yellow beads of sweat roll down his tanned back to the ground and shatter.

Richard stood quietly in a corner of the mine, and after a "Frost Wind" zero ring spell was cast, it had completely eliminated the heat of the outside world, allowing him to look at the two people in front of him without being affected by the temperature.

In front of him, two people were arguing fiercely.

One of the two people arguing was the owner of a jewelry store, who was salivaing and arguing while desperately wiping the sweat from his face. It's just that at this moment, the clothes all over the body have been soaked, and the whole person is sweating as if he has been fished out of the water.

The other person appeared to be more normal, with a body head taller than the jewelry store owner, far less fat than the jewelry store owner Qian Ning, so he was more comfortable in the scorching sun. His name was Simon, and he was the owner of the mine, and at this time he looked down at Channing condescendingly, shook his head, and gave the final answer to the quarrel - refusal.

Qian Ning's face turned red, he didn't know if it was sunburned, or he was angry, he glared at Simon fiercely, and strode back to Richard's side.

Richard saw everything in his eyes, and already had some guesses, looked at Qian Ning who walked back and asked, "The other party is not willing to help?"

Glancing at Simon in the distance with the whites of his eyes, Qian Ning snorted and said, "Originally, I used to be very smart and flexible, but who knew that he was a rigid old antique, even more stupid than a stupid donkey." Say what to say that there are other people's orders to be busy, so I don't want to help you at all. ”

At this time, Simon in the distance seemed to notice that Qian Ning was saying bad things about him, looked over and waved his hand, and said loudly: "Hey, my old friend, and that strange guest, I'm really sorry." It's not that I don't want you, it's that there's nothing you can do, so you'd better find someone else. ”

"Look!" Qian Ning was very angry, "Your Excellency, you see, he has this attitude, and he really wants to beat him." Otherwise, you can teach him a lesson. ”

Richard didn't listen to Channing's suggestion, thought for a moment and asked Channing, "Are you sure that your emerald emerald was mined from this mine?

"Yes, my lord, I can be sure of that. Qian Ning affirmed.

"In that case...... Well, I'll talk to him again. Richard pondered for a second, and walked towards the far gate without wanting to give up.

Simon smiled as Richard approached, spread his hands, and said with an apologetic and sincere face: "Strange guest, I know what you want to say, but I can only say sorry to you."

It is a great pleasure for me to ask for the exclusive Emerald that is unique to my mine. But I'm in a hurry to grab an order, and all the workers can't be transferred, so you can only get back on the road. If you'd like a month, no, half a month later, I'd definitely give you a sufficient amount of emeralds, but not now. ”

But I'm only going to spend two days in Rice City. Really waited for half a month, I'm afraid that the Garden of Eden in Pompeii Town doesn't know what it looks like, the immortal ancient tree species tin wood in the No. 3 research room, I don't want to rebel, right?

Richard listened to Simon's words and couldn't help but think.

Looking at Simon, Richard said loudly: "Mr. Simon, I am in a hurry to demand the emerald and must get it within two days. You see that your workers really can't divide some of them, the price is negotiable......"

"No, no, no. Simon waved his hand, interrupting Richard's words, and said with a very serious expression, "Strange guest, I must explain to you that it is not a matter of money, but only of my integrity. I have promised another guest that I will give him enough ore in three days, then it must be done. ”

"Can't be accommodating?"

"I'm afraid I can't. ”

Richard pursed his lips, frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Simon, how much is the order you are going to complete for this guest?"

"About a hundred gold coins. Simon said, chuckling, "It's true that this amount is not very high, but I also said that it's not a matter of money, it's just about my integrity." My principle is to treat my guests as relatives and not let them down in any way.

Because of this, more and more customers will take care of the mine's business, and the mine can continue to operate. Unlike the previous owner of the mine, who didn't have any credibility, he didn't have any orders for half a year, and the mine went bankrupt directly, and I would definitely not be the same as him. ”

Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Simon and asked, "Mr. Simon, how much did you buy this mine?"

"How much?" Simon was stunned for a moment, then vaguely guessed Richard's thoughts, and said with a smile, "This guest, I want to tell you that the price of the mine is much higher than you think. ”

"How tall?"

"You see, this mine is very large, and it is a rich mine, producing mainly iron and copper, and also small amounts of gold, silver, tin, and precious stones, so that in theory it will not lose money in the hands of any one person. Because of this, even if the previous owner of the mine went bankrupt, it cost me a full 100,000 gold coins, the savings of my family for several generations, to buy. ”

"In other words, this mine is worth about 100,000 gold coins, isn't it?" asked Richard.

"Theoretically, the mine has been mined for now, and the value has diminished, but if you say that, it's not too much of a problem. ”

"Then how about I give you 100,000 gold coins to buy this mine?" Richard said suddenly.

"Huh?" Simon froze, and after a few seconds, he blinked at Richard and asked, "I'm sorry, I may have been a little unclear just now, can you say that again?"

"If I buy your mine, you won't have to worry about going bankrupt because of the loss of integrity, so there will be no problem with the workers mining the emerald for me. Richard said.

"This ......" Simon opened his mouth wide, his momentum suddenly weakened a lot, and it took a long time before he said, "This ...... It's probably a little too big for me to call the shots. ”
