After taking out a few more waves of wandering greenskins that stood in the way, Levi's troops began to search further, and soon his suspicions were confirmed, and there was indeed no reason for the emergence of new minerals here, as evidenced by the steaming furnaces and the large pieces of bronze that the greenskins must have used to forge weapons before!

Faced with at least two dozen units of bronze, even Ironwood had to admit it, and the greenskins dug up new minerals from here.

After frowning and thinking carefully for a while, Temu suddenly realized: "Ah, Levi, I know, it must have been the earthquake more than half a month ago, which opened up some passages that had not been discovered before!" ”

More than half a month ago, there was an earthquake near Blackstone Castle, but that kind of earthquake had no impact on Blackstone Castle at all, dwarves are used to living in the mountains and underground, so naturally they will not be unprepared for this, their castles have very strong earthquake resistance, but I didn't expect this place to be affected.

Levi nodded lightly: "Tiemu, then take the troops to further confirm inside." ”

Now, he calmed down and began to think about what he could gain in this, although this place has theoretically been abandoned by the dwarves, but after all, this place was discovered by them, and now if he wants to put aside the other party's monopoly, I'm afraid there are some problems, because he is a human after all, and even the race is different from them.

And this place is also ten or twenty miles away from Blackstone Fort, and this road is full of beastmen and greenskinned wandering squads, even if Levi wants to monopolize the ore veins, how to safely transport them out and sell them is also a problem, not to mention that mining the mining veins must also be used by dwarves, and his subordinates will not do this job!

In this way, the best option is to find a partner, and a partner who is friendly to you. Levi thought about it, and his eyes still fell on Tiemu, he only has a good relationship with the other party's Brute Hammer clan in the Blackstone Castle at present, but for now, he should defend with peace of mind, and then wait for Tiemu's report.

Ironwood did not disappoint Levi, and soon he returned safely with his troops, confirming their suspicions, the original abandoned mine had opened a new passage due to the recent earthquake, and thus exposed an undiscovered vein, although it produced only bronze, but the reserves were very rich, and the overall value of this vein was not too low.

Maybe tomorrow, this place shouldn't be called the Bronze Mine Site, but the Bronze Mine!

With such a surprising discovery, Levi was naturally in no mood to stay here, and ordered his subordinates to destroy all the furnaces left by the greenskins, which were quite rough workmanship, Levi took the bronze left by the greenskins and began to return to Blackstone Castle, anyway, this vein can't run away here.

Fortunately, the same kind of materials can be stacked in one position, otherwise it would be really difficult for Levi to carry so many materials.

Traveling all the way, he didn't even have time to see how his Aurora Trading House was doing, but just sent Tanato and the others to take care of it, and Levi himself followed Tiemu to the location of their Brute Hammer Clan, and Tiemu went directly to find their patriarch.

Although the value of bronze is almost at the bottom of the existing metals, and it may not matter to the king of Blackstone Castle, it is a vein after all, and it is a big deal for the Brute Hammer Clan, and if it can be used well, the Brute Hammer Clan's ranking may be able to catch up with a few of its peers and go further in the Blackstone Castle.

You must know that there are dozens of dwarven clans like them, even in the Black Stone Castle, and thousands of them in the entire mountain kingdom, if they can become stronger through cooperation, then they will have face even in the kingdom of Qunshang.

The current patriarch of the Brute Hammer Clan thought so, so he quickly put down what he was doing and came to see Levi in person, and for some personal considerations, he also brought the elder who had a relationship with Levi before, that is, the dwarven elder who helped Levi buy the shop.

"Hello, Chosen Hero Levi, I am the patriarch of the Brute Hammer Clan, Silverbeard Brute Hammer, and this is our Elder Red Axe Brute Hammer."

The patriarch of the Brute Hammer Clan, like the other dwarves Levi had seen before, did not have any polite habits, and after introducing himself a little, he began to get straight to the point: "I heard Temu say this, I don't know how Levi wants to cooperate with our Brute Hammer Clan?" ”

"Patriarch, I want to confirm first, whether the ownership of that vein still belongs to Blackstone Castle?"

This was Levi's main concern, and if the dwarves still claimed to own the vein, then Levi would be in vain, and he would not have the strength to compete with Blackstone Castle.

The patriarch of the Brute Hammer Clan, who had a beautiful silver beard, waved his hand nonchalantly: "Levi, you don't have to worry about this question, according to the laws of the Mountain Kingdom, any vein that is confirmed to be abandoned, even if it is later discovered to be a gold mine, is completely owned by the person who newly discovered its value, not limited to dwarves or humans. As for its original owners, then they can only be blamed for not having a vision! ”

The kingdom of the mountains is exactly what the dwarves call themselves to their kingdom, and sometimes the dwarves habitually call themselves the sons of the mountains, because they prefer to stay in the mountains more than the plains.

Leviston was relieved a lot, the dwarves were so refreshing, he didn't want to be too entangled, and now, he could see that there was no need to go around in circles to communicate with the dwarves, and it was the dwarves' favorite way to say their purpose directly.

"Patriarch, then I'll be blunt, although I discovered the vein, but now my strength is too weak, I don't have enough troops to protect it, and I don't have the ability to mine, transport and sell, so I want to leave this entire vein to the Brute Hammer Clan to deal with," Speaking of this, Levi smiled, "And I just need to sit back and enjoy its achievements." ”

Levi's words did not surprise the Brute Hammer Patriarch, but he was still very satisfied with the other party's cheerfulness, and I have to say that this is very rare among humans.

Although dwarves have a natural affection for humans because of the covenant between dwarves and humans since ancient times, dwarves with bold personalities still can't fully accept many habits of humans, and it's good to be as cheerful as Levi.

"Very well, Levi, we have discussed this situation before, if you give us all the veins, according to the custom, and the manpower and material resources we need to pay in this kind of operation, we can give you fifty percent of the entire harvest, and the remaining forty percent will be our Brute Hammer Clan."

This figure is not a random statement by him, but the result of calculations and past conventions.

Levi smiled and glanced at the dwarf elder Red Axe Brute Hammer next to him, and then he shook his head slightly: "No, patriarch, don't be so troublesome, fifty percent, I only need five to be good, this number is more convenient to remember." ”

Anyway, no matter how many percent it is, it's all for nothing, and he doesn't need to pay any price, this half achievement should be regarded as a return gift for the other party to help him before, without the help of the elder Red Axe Brute Hammer, he wouldn't be able to get such a good store so easily.

The two old dwarves laughed, although Levi didn't say it, but as the leader of the Brute Hammer Clan, they were naturally not stupid, of course they could understand the reason why Levi did this, but this did not prevent them from having a good impression of Levi, there are not many humans like this now, and it is worth further interaction!

The Brute Hammer Patriarch waved his hand: "Okay, then let's do it, Levi, I'll go to the king to apply for the ownership of the vein for you, and we'll start work tomorrow!" ”

Red Axe Brute Hammer also smiled and nodded at Levi: "Levi, I'm also going to arrange the distribution of troops, so let's do it today." But if you have problems with the shop in the future, you can also come to me, and I will be there as a quartermaster for 5 hours a day. ”

Levi also smiled: "Then thank you Elder." ”

It seems that it is really a wise choice for him to cooperate with the Brute Hammer Clan, otherwise he doesn't know how much time it will take to apply for ownership with the king of Blackstone Castle, and maybe he will have to do some task.

And after all, the other party is a king, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to see him, but now that he is cooperating with Blackstone Castle, this series of troubles will be saved.

After almost finishing the matter of the ore vein, Levi returned to his Aurora Firm.

Of course, he didn't choose to enter through the main entrance, but went around half a circle, and entered through the back door, this shop has hundreds of square meters, but it doesn't need such a big place for the time being, so it has been slightly transformed by Levi and turned into a temporary residence for his subordinates.

Seeing him come back with a smile on his face, the Moorish knight, who had already returned here, hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, it seems that everything is going well?" ”

"Well, that's right, it's been negotiated, the Brute Hammer Clan will take care of everything, we just have to wait to get the money. What is the situation at the front store? ”

"It's also going well, and the loot we got from our previous adventures seems to be very valuable to these Chosen Heroes, so it's very popular with them. Dick, the butler, said that our turnover in one day today is even more than the total amount of a week when they were originally in normal business, and that is, they are now very eager to buy the Aurora Spear you made. ”

Levi raised an eyebrow, so it seems that the original Lord was not very good, or was his own goods too popular? However, in this way, his funds will definitely be much more abundant, after all, most of the goods there are priced by himself, and even if he doesn't look at it, he can estimate the approximate harvest.

However, the Aurora spearmen should indeed do more themselves, but they are scarce and expensive, and they still can't let them out too much in a short period of time.

"Well, I see, so let's do it, Tanato, you can take Huamez and Sienna first, see who wants, let's go to the tavern together to recruit some subordinates, mainly defensive warriors, 70 gold coins here are handed over to you to use, if you meet a good subordinate, and you don't have enough money, you can come back and report to me." If you have time to spare, you can also wander around Blackstone Fort on your own and see if there is anything you want to buy. ”

As he spoke, Levi took out the gold coins and handed them to the other party, as his subordinates, Thanato, and Huamez were able to get a certain amount of pocket money from themselves from time to time, and they could be regarded as having some savings.

Tarnato took the gold in a daze, but soon he realized that he was just a battle hero, and that wasn't what he was good at!

Tanato's mouth opened to say something, but Levi patted the other party's shoulder: "There's no need to be pressured, I trust your vision." ”

Although the other party is a combat hero, he has rich combat experience, and he obviously won't mess up this task casually, because he can at least accurately judge the strength of others.

And so far, all the aborigines that Levi has encountered, their asking price is directly proportional to their strength, and no one dares to maliciously raise the price, because it is also irresponsible for their own lives, and they have to do as much work as they want, although these aborigines have a relatively low level of intelligence, they still have this minimum consciousness.

Tanato, holding the gold coin given by Levi, left with some trepidation, but fortunately, Hua Meisi and others were also willing to go with him, which somewhat dispelled some of his concerns, although it was just a little girl, but the other party was also a hero, and the two of them worked together, so they shouldn't mess up this problem.

Levi glanced at the half-elf standing beside him: "Sienna, I don't need your help here for the time being, you can go and rest first." By the way, congratulations on your successful promotion to Tier 3. ”

In the previous battle, Sienna successfully gave the War Pig Boss a fatal blow, and with her rich combat experience before, her strength has also been further improved, in addition to the increase in basic attributes, she has also obtained a skill called Armor Broken Arrow.

Unlike Levi's previous armor-piercing skills, this armor-shattering arrow inflicts a continuous debuff on enemies, reducing their armor by 2-4 points.

Although the duration is only 10 seconds, she can't use it too many times in a short period of time, but during this time, everyone can inflict higher damage on the enemy, and combined with the high attack power of the dwarven musketeer and others, it can be said that she must be one of the indispensable and important members when fighting the boss in the future.

Listening to Levi's words, Sienna's face also showed a rare smile: "Thank you, sir, but I will continue to work hard." ”

Originally, she joined Levi's troops late, and her strength was not outstanding, and even together with Kelly, who was a half-elf, she was stronger than her before, after all, when she was 2nd order, the other party was already 3rd order, plus the people who recently joined Levi's troops were stronger than the other, which inevitably put Sienna under a lot of pressure.

However, today, her strength has finally improved, although she is still inferior to several masters in the team, and she is not as good as her little sister Huames, but Sienna is not discouraged, because she knows that her efforts will definitely be rewarded.

And another point, she recently discovered that with the continuous battle with Greenskin, she seems to have gradually mastered some special skills, but she has not been able to confirm this, so she did not tell Levi, only told her closest sisters Kelly and Wallace, but I believe that when she completely masters that skill, she will definitely surprise her hero.

Levi said "um", "Don't worry, Sienna, I won't forget your hatred, and when the mine is done tomorrow, I will do my best to exterminate the greenskins, and then help you rebuild a village that belongs to the half-elves!" ”
