Chapter 210: Boring Trading
Each minecart in each row was chained together, and the coolies huddled aside, ready to power the convoy, stood half-faced at the head of the first minecart, a string of chains hanging from his shoulders, and he actually wanted to pull the cart himself.
After asking others, I learned that this is a half-faced tradition: the first minecart of each transaction is done by him and his henchmen, whether it is buying people's hearts or superstitions, since he became the boss, he has persisted until now.
Unas walked up to Halfface and complimented: "The Half-Face Boss did it himself, it's really touching, and I'm here to help the Boss." ”
"Hey, I'm waiting for you!" Half-faced looked back and smiled, "You just pull this section behind me." ”
The second section is generally the position of the second-in-command, and Unas is directly arranged to insert strongly, and a dwarf who was originally standing here can only reluctantly retreat one section.
Unas put the chain on his shoulder, and his heart could get this kind of honor, and half of his face probably had the mind to win over or paralyze himself.
"Drive!" The dwarf roared, and was the first to exert force, good fellow, he almost single-handedly pulled the entire row of minecarts.
The people behind made another effort to keep up, and the first train of minecarts rumbled forward, this road was probably trimmed on weekdays, straight and wide, and soon there was a bright hole in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but slow down.
The minecart drove out of the road by inertia, slower and slower, and finally stopped at the edge of the pool, Unas threw off the chain, panting from exhaustion, and sprinting for three or four minutes with a load did not feel good.
Half-sweating turned his head and laughed: "Young people still need to exercise!" Hahaha! ”
"I haven't seen you for a week, and the half-faced boss is still so energetic." A relatively soft voice came from the side, a dwarf with a jet-black hammer on his back.
"Boss Tobiang is polite, I'm full of energy, you just have unlimited energy, hahaha!"
It turns out that this is the "blacksmith" Tobiang who is about to be besieged, he is not surprising, but he has no hair and beard, and his whole head is bare, which is rare among dwarves, beard is one of the most important aesthetic standards of dwarves, and dwarves without beards must be extremely ugly in the eyes of their compatriots, but Unas thinks this is very refreshing, and he immediately has a good impression of Tobiang.
The two bosses are both black iron dwarves, and they are very close on the surface, but in the meaningless chat, Lincoln's ogre army has also arrived, and Unas did not go over to say hello in order to avoid suspicion.
The last to arrive is the orc "Black Tooth", the leader of the Blackstone Orcs here, and also the boss of the North District and the Furnace of Fury.
The four actual managers of the Black Furnace gathered, and after a while, there was a vibration from the zenith, and everyone knew that the floodgates were open.
A black steel cable the thickness of a forearm protrudes from the hole in the head, and the head of the steel cable has an equally jet-black iron hook.
When the hook landed at the bottom of the dry hot pool, Tobiang, who was in first place, gave the order, and his men pulled a train of minecarts through the slope made of wooden planks to the bottom of the pool, and a coolie hooked the handle of the first minecart with an iron hook, and then pulled the steel cable hard.
The men above received the signal and began to reel the steel rope upwards, and the minecart was pulled into the air little by little, and finally disappeared into the hole in the zenith.
"This steel cable can actually bear the weight of a whole train of minecarts, thirty knots is probably close to 100 tons!" Unas was surprised.
"The steel rope made of black steel wire is extremely tough, this one is the thickness of an arm, and it will not have any problem withstanding a hundred tons, it is one of the highest smelting results of our black iron dwarves." A black iron dwarf beside him said triumphantly, as if the steel cable had been made by his own hands.
In other words, once the wellhead is occupied and the steel rope is lowered, the people below can climb up in a steady stream regardless of the bearing capacity of the rope, which is not bad news.
After a full quarter of an hour, the steel rope was lowered again, and it was no wonder that the trading day lasted all day, and at this rate, four columns went up in an hour, and only ninety-six columns in 24 hours, which would be enough, but there would be no time to put down food.
Fortunately, the speed of transportation became faster and faster, and probably the first column was more cautious, so it took too much time to worry about Unasbai.
Rows of minecarts were hoisted up, and it was boring to see too much, and Unas yawned for days, but here the order of rounds was pursued, and this time it was the turn of the cold steel to be the first to receive ore, so Tobiang was the first.
After waiting for more than two hours for Blackbeard's turn, Unas lifted his spirits a little, helped push the cart and maintain order, and loyally played the role of a half-faced little brother.
Tobiang did not leave after the goods, he still had to wait for the food and daily necessities of the mineral exchange to be hoisted down, and it should take a lot of time for the people above to count them.
Unas's day had been spent waiting and pushing the cart, and he regretted that he had received almost no useful information, and that he might as well stay at home and train.
After all the transactions were completed and the well door was closed, it was already more than ten hours later, and he whispered to him with half a face: "After you send the food back, report to me immediately, the operation will start at any time, and my stormtrooper captain can't be absent!" ”
Unas nodded silently, escorting the food and supplies exchanged with Blackbeard back to his territory.
Generally speaking, no one dares to make trouble during the transaction, but after the transaction is completed, there are always some outlaws who rob halfway, but today's wind seems to be very tight, and even most of the outlaws also noticed that something was wrong and did not act, and he returned to the mine safely.
As soon as he arrived, he summoned Luther to the room for a secret conversation, and according to Unas's observations, the former officer of Stormwind was the only person he could fully trust at the moment, and once the war with Tobiang began, he would not be able to get out, and the humans here would be entrusted to Luther, and he quickly confessed his entire escape plan to the middle-aged officer.
Luther hadn't recovered from the surprise, and Unas said: "From now on, you have to send people to keep an eye on the central district at all times, as long as the time comes, I want you to gather everyone there immediately, everyone brings three days' rations, the weapons I looted during this time are all in Riddle's previous warehouse, and you are also responsible for distributing them to everyone, and in the next few days, whether it is training or mining, it will slow down, and the amount of food can be increased, anyway, it is a waste to keep it, so that everyone can take care of their strength." ”
"That's... Your Excellency..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely create time for everyone to escape, I'm not here, you are the supreme commander, if anyone dares to make trouble, they will be killed directly, the Huya clan and Lincoln's ogre are just temporary allies, you can't be gullible, it's up to you to improvise when the time comes."
Suddenly a heavy burden was pressed on his body, and anyone would hesitate a little, Luther was a little confused for a while, obviously he had a lot to ask but just couldn't say it.
Unas patted him on the shoulder, leaving the guy alone to digest the information he had just gotten, and quickly rushed to Halfface's station with the trio. (To be continued.) )
