The reason why I bought the White Stone Tower with a lot of money is because there is a mine that produces magic iron, and this kind of ore can strengthen the conduction of magic power, and it is an extraordinary material with a wide range of applications.

But if it's just this level, it's not worth the investment. If the benefits of mining alone are huge, the local government will not sell it easily.

In the end, the reason why it was sold was because the radiation in the mine was very strong, ordinary workers could not mine magic iron, and the cost of hiring extraordinary people was too high. Of course, it is possible to resist radiation through scientific and technological means, but that will also lead to a skyrocketing mining cost.

The Scarlet Lily has a sufficient number of transcendent professionals, and Lydia accidentally discovers a subhuman race called the Dwarfs in the depths of the mine, not all of them are elves, dwarves, orcs and other strong war races, some are also like dwarves, goblins, hobbits and the like.

The average height of the dwarves is less than a meter, and they have no talent for magic, and a race like this has done everything they can just to survive in this world.

After the exchange, Lydia found that the dwarf people have a special physique and can survive in a high-pressure environment, and there are several gem mines deep underground, and they can gain a lot of money just by picking up gems.

So after roughly calculating an account, Lydia put the blood capital of the entire mercenary group on the ground, and she even sold a few properties to raise funds and manpower, because no matter how you calculate, mining magic iron for gems is a lot of money.

However, where can ordinary earning be compared to grabbing?

Mining magic iron is very hard, although Lydia took the lead, as the head of the regiment and worked with her subordinates, but the mutiny still happened, in fact, if Lydia had done this business two years earlier, she would probably have succeeded.

In the past two years, due to the increasing number of transcendental beings and the continuous decline in their overall quality, many ordinary people have become transcendental, and their only purpose is to live the life of a human being.

Under internal and external troubles, the Red Beast Mercenary Group invaded, and the deputy head Suna betrayed, and everything became what it is today.

Tracing the moon, early in the morning of the day after the end of the counterinsurgency.

The agreed trading time came, and a group of little guys with mushroom heads and less than a meter tall walked out of the depths of the mine carrying bags of rough raw ore, they seemed to have no sense of crisis and deception at all, and they delivered the gems unsuspectingly, and then sat there waiting for Lydia to give them magic iron.

From their point of view, Connor is the only one who can become good friends with them, and Tuwang next to Connor is already a terrifying beast.

"I'm sorry, because of some things, our magic iron is only ready to two-thirds of the agreement, and as a punishment for breaking the contract, I am willing to accept only half of your gems."

At this time, Shi Yi was checking the quality of those rough gemstones: all of them were of the highest grade, and they could be put into the market after a little polishing, so when he heard Lydia say this, he only felt a heartache, and suddenly he especially understood why this guy was rebelled against by his subordinates.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when you are the boss in these years, your personal moral level should not be too high. You always hold yourself to the moral standards of a saint, so what should you do with the people below?

"We have been attacked by the bands of thieves and have repelled them, and although the amount of magic iron cannot be delivered on time and in quantity, we can hand over the captured thief weapons to you, which should be enough to cover the shortfall."

Hearing this, those little mushroom heads who were not as tall as Shi Yi's waist nodded and agreed after a while, it seemed that they were still very happy, or such a weak race, they were used to suffering losses in most transactions.

According to Shi Yi's knowledge, the mushroom-like head of the dwarf people is really an edible mushroom, and it is extremely nutritious and delicious, which can nourish the body of the transcendent to a certain extent, so the original plan of Dihote and Suna was to obtain the village information of the dwarf people in the transaction, and hunt down and destroy them, whether it is those gem ores, magic iron ores, and the corpses of the dwarf people, these things add up to enough for them to make a lot of money.

Of course, compared with Lydia's approach, this is undoubtedly a fishing process, but in this extraordinary era, a long stream of water may not be as profitable as fishing as exhausting, and then step by step in the tide of the times.

Originally, Lydia, who was already disheartened, planned to disband the mercenary group with the gem ore she had obtained after completing this transaction, and she also planned to tell those dwarves to terminate the transaction after the transaction was over, but Shi Yi intervened halfway through Lydia's words and interrupted her about terminating the transaction.

Because she had just received Shi Yi's life-saving grace, Lydia couldn't say anything no matter how reluctant she was, but Shi Yi also knew that if she didn't have a reasonable explanation afterwards, she would never help herself do anything that was unfavorable to the dwarf people, and those little guys, if there was no one they trusted to, they would definitely not easily get out of the depths of the mine.

Originally, Lydia wanted to use the rough gems to dismiss others, but Shi Yi directly wrote a check to buy those high-quality rough stones, so that the severance pay given was money, and there was no need to change hands again, and most of those who betrayed Lydia also felt a little guilty in their hearts, and most of them left without saying anything, and a few who were attached or dissatisfied could only leave under Lydia's determination and Shi Yi's deterrence.

"I know you're disheartened now, and the mercenary group that put so much effort into it has been disbanded. But after this period of low ebb, life will go on after all, and I don't think you will be so fragile that you will be depressed and go straight into hiding, the Lydia I know is not that kind of person. ”

"If you want to be quiet for a while, just be quiet for a while. However, the trade contract between you and the dwarf people should be kept, if you want the magic iron ore, you don't necessarily have to take someone down to mine by yourself, you have no way, but I, or the Shi family behind me, have it, although the dwarf Qin people want a lot of magic iron ore, but it is not difficult for the Shi family to take it out, you receive a commission in the middle, sit on the ground and take a profit, which is much more comfortable than what you work hard to be the head of the group. ”

After dinner, Shi Yi came over with a wine glass to chat with Lydia, and by the way, he made his thoughts clear.

Lydia can only lead people to dig magic iron ore by herself, but for large families, she can directly be a second-tier dealer to make this a business, with little investment and high returns, and the gem rough provided by the dwarf people is of high quality, and the actual value is many times higher than those magic iron ore.

"Thank you, you're right, I don't know how much more clever it is to arrange like yours than I originally did. But is it just a drink tonight? I'm a little tired. The girl under the moonlight looked a little tired, and did not have much interest in talking.

"Of course." Shi Yi can somewhat understand Lydia's state of physical and mental exhaustion at this time, but to make it clear, it is much better to let her have a bottom in her heart than to let her fall into a daze, and Shi Yi still appreciates Lydia very much.

………………

The second-order top crusader Lydia, the second-order sword and shield hand Rafa, and the second-order heavy sword swordsman Serek, these people are all Shi Yi's old friends, both as a professional foundation and as a personal character, and now that the Scarlet Lily Group has also been disbanded, Shi Yi intends to pull these three people into his camp. This is a good thing for both themselves and these three people.

After the counterinsurgency was over, Yang Tietou and Li Jie returned to Gardnan, and Shi Yi and Shi Weiwei remained in Baishi Castle to accompany the physically and mentally exhausted Lydia to recover.

Zhongyixin is now very stable, Shi Yi's workload is not large, he can also work remotely, and if he cultivates, he can do it anywhere, not to mention that Tuwang hasn't seen Kang Na for a long time, and now he plays hide and seek with Kang Na every day, and then he was caught by Kang Na and ran around like crazy.

Although Tuwang looked aggrieved and reluctant every time he was caught, from the propeller-like tail behind its buttocks, Shi Yi could easily peek through its direct vision...... Cheap!

At Connor's age, it should have been a time when she was growing up and developing rapidly, but I don't know if it was because of the bloodline in her body, Connor's actual development was very slow. But the inexplicable feeling in her body grows very fast, ordinary people may not be able to notice anything, but Shi Yi can, but he doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The silver dragon's aura of kindness and rank will make it easier for people around him to get help from magical creatures, and many people think that the appearance of the dwarf people is simply because Lydia is good enough, but I am afraid that it is inseparable from the charm of Connor's camp.

At noon on this day, in the White Stone Tower, Shi Weiwei wore a beautiful long dress and ran to Shi Yi to show her figure, but found that this guy was constantly knocking on the laptop, and the printer next to him was constantly printing out documents.

"What are you doing?"

"It's been long enough to rest, and it's not a good idea to keep Lydia depressed like this, so I've compiled some information about the strange events in Provence, trying to find out if there's anything interesting, well, I want to use it to stimulate Lydia's fighting spirit."

"Demon hunting mission? We did start out with this kind of task, and Lydia was a bit of a grappling person. Shi Weiwei, who was standing beside Shi Yi, leaned down and looked at the printed materials on the computer screen and desktop:

"In the Devil Doll mission, there were twelve direct participants in the event and twelve deaths, so the following information is collected and inferred from the surrounding area.

Udi Town, where there was originally a master doll master who was proficient in ventriloquism, made her famous for her wonderful performance ability, and invested heavily in the creation of the next doll mansion, but during a performance, a child from a neighboring town publicly questioned the puppet master's ability.

The doll was fake, and the voices were spoken by the woman, and I saw her mouth moving. ’

This, of course, is slander. As a master who is proficient in ventriloquism, it is impossible to let others see that his mouth is also moving when he uses ventriloquism, ventriloquism is not through the abdomen to make sounds, but by adjusting the breath, using the abdominal breath to impact his own vocal organs, to achieve the effect of one person playing two horns.

But no matter what, the bear child's words still made everyone present feel very embarrassed. Later, the child disappeared, and the child's parents and clansmen believed that the doll master had kidnapped the child, so they grabbed her, pulled out her tongue and burned her.

Now, with the tide surging, the doll is back again!! ”

After reading the information twice, Shi Weiwei tilted her head and said, "It seems to be a very normal revenge spirit, we won't take this kind of task, right?" Kill all those who should be killed, and the spirit will rest in peace. ”

Shi Weiwei's statement is a tacit understanding between demon hunters, the kind of spirit that has grudges and revenge, and demon hunters usually won't eliminate it, because as long as it is left alone and let it finish its revenge, the matter will be over.

Of course, this does not mean that the victim is guilty, but that the specific situation should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

"If the doll master was wronged, of course there is revenge and revenge, but what if she was not wronged?" Shi Yi raised his head and looked at Shi Weiwei expressionlessly.

"I've read some of the analysis reports of the police officers back then, and a lot of evidence directly points to the fact that the boy was killed by the puppet master, and the body has not been found until now, it is undeniable that the boy was indeed rude, but he killed people just because of this? This puppet master gives me the feeling that it is quite similar to a resentful spirit I met before, they should be people who are born with a strong inspiration, and they already have some supernatural powers decades ago. ”

As he spoke, Shi Yi stood up and poured himself a cup of coffee, while he motioned to Shi Weiwei to take a look at the information on his computer:

Doll master Mary Shaw, her husband, was originally a puppet master, Mary Shaw was a ventriloquist actor, the couple loved each other very happily, but unfortunately Mary Shaw's husband died of illness, after a few years of depression, the lady did not remarry, but mustered up the courage to inherit her husband's career, combined dolls with ventriloquism, produced a unique performance effect at the time, was a great success, and founded the Doll Mansion.

After inheriting her husband's inheritance, Mary Shaw put more and more love into those dolls, so that there were hundreds of dolls in the Doll's Mansion.

"Middle-aged widower, no heirs, put all his heart and soul into the dead...... I'm also a little shaken. Looking at the various photos and text messages sorted out by Shi Yi in the notebook, Shi Weiwei was decisively shaken.

Most of those photos are gloomy, especially the one that takes a picture of a large cabinet of dolls on the front, and the twinkling eyes seem to be really endowed with spirituality.

"Vivi, this is your biggest weakness, you are too easily shaken, usually it's fine, it's just a little weaker, but sometimes, it's fatal."

"It doesn't matter if I pull, I'm always by your side anyway, I'm weak in decision-making, so it's okay if you have strong decision-making." Responding with a chuckle, Shi Weiwei replied nonchalantly.

"I'll sort this out and show it to Lydia in the evening, so that she can also be refreshed."

"yes, okay." Hearing this, Shi Yi nodded while drinking coffee, hoping to revive Lydia's fighting spirit.
