Chapter 187: Alliance

"I heard that whoever is stronger here is the boss, and I am better than you, so I should be your leader," Unas saw the other party's timidity, almost giving an inaugural speech, "I promise to take you to earn more resources for humanity." ”

The third brother who brought the weapon shouted: "Without the admission of the half-faced boss, no matter how powerful you are, you are not qualified!" ”

"Who's Halfface?"

"He is the leader of the entire Blackbeard Gang, you are definitely not his opponent, our eldest brother's friendship with him is not ordinary!"

This half-faced leader of a slave force must have something extraordinary, but Unas would not be intimidated by the other party's fox fake tiger, and mocked: "So what are you waiting for here? Hurry up and cry a few times in front of your half-faced dad, maybe he'll throw a few bones at you? ”

"You!"

The third child was furious, picked up the weapon at hand and wanted to rush up, but was immediately stopped by Riddle.

"We are all human beings, don't kill each other," the bald man suddenly became a pacifist, "you are indeed stronger than us, but you can't do anything here alone, we can be allies and help each other." ”

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Unas has just arrived, he is still very unfamiliar with the situation here, and he really needs someone to guide him, he also has a little scruple about that half face, the cartilage and the injuries on his body need time to heal, and temporary peace is very necessary, so he said: "Riddell's words are more powerful than fists, haha, everyone doesn't know each other if they don't fight, and they will be good friends in the future." ”

Riddle swallowed the thorn in his words, and said with a smile: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, you can say it well, you say it well." ”

Just now, they were fighting to the death, and now they are going to forcibly form an alliance, and several people have nothing to say for a while, and the atmosphere is a bit ginger.

Unas then took a closer look at the imprint on the foreheads of the three of them, it was a pattern of an iron hoe, it seemed that this was the family crest of Blackbeard, and the one on his forehead must be the same as theirs.

"This cave is quite big, isn't it too wide for the three of you to live in?" Unas broke the silence without a word.

"Lord Paladin," Riddle waved his hand, "this is still our warehouse, I'll show you around." ”

Seemingly very sincere, Unas nodded, followed the three of them inside, after the hot spring, there were some pots and pans and other household utensils in the corner, and then walked inside, there was a hole at the bottom of the room, and inside was the warehouse that Riddle said.

There is not much space in the warehouse, with bags of grain stacked on the left and various ores on the right, and Riddle introduces the situation as he walks:

Every day, the human slaves belonging to Blackbeard handed him the ore they had dug up, and he distributed food to the slaves according to the amount and type of ore.

Before the weekly "trading day", the half-faced man would come to collect the ore, and when the half-face and blackbeard trade was completed, he would go to half-face to get the food in exchange.

Halfface is the equivalent of Blackbeard's agent here, he protects this kind of transaction, but also charges a lot of "protection money", and Riddle becomes Halfface's agent among human slaves, of course, he also collects protection money, and the lowest slaves can only be forced to accept these two exploits.

"When is the trading day, and how do Halfface and Black Beard trade?" Since coming in, Unas has been thinking about how to escape, since the two sides want to trade, they must open the passage, maybe that is the opportunity to escape.

"It's trading with the tunnel we came in, and that's the only way to the outside world," Riddle explained, "and once a week the central hot spring pool dries up with the ebb tide of the underground water veins, and that is the trading day, and the people on it will open the passage, drop the slings, and then the people of the four districts will transport their ore for a week to the central area to trade food with the slave owners." ”

"They don't come down? How can you tell who dug the ore? ”

"Each district has a special minecart put down by the four major miners, just like the one on our forehead, and the minecart also has its own imprint."

"No one dares to climb up the sling? Or hide in a minecart and escape? ”

"Yes, but no one succeeded, every trading day there will be several times more guards, and it is only a dead end to go up, and there are black iron dwarves under the watchful eye below, as soon as there is a large-scale movement, they will directly cut off the sling to close the passage, then the transaction will be interrupted, everyone will have no food for the next week, they can only starve, I heard that there was a collective riot a long time ago, but as a result, not only did no one succeed in escaping, and finally the hungry slaves even developed to the point of devouring each other, and since then, there has been no collective rebellion."

It doesn't sound like it's impossible to escape, as long as you have the personal strength to hang the sky, hide in the minecart and be hoisted, and then break out of the encirclement, but Unas thinks that his strength has not reached that point.

"I know that people who have just arrived want to escape, especially someone of great strength like the Paladin," Riddle persuaded him, knowing that his brow was furrowed, "but after staying here for a while, you won't have such thoughts." ”

"So you're just here to eat and wait for death, and be a slave to the Black Iron Dwarves for the rest of your life?" Unas asked rhetorically, "Don't you miss the air and sunshine outside, your hometown and your loved ones?" ”

"We mercenaries are all over the world, so how can we have any relatives?" The bald man who had lost hope said dejectedly, "I advise you to give up the idea of resisting as soon as possible, and don't affect others." ”

Unas said angrily: "People? Slaves are also human? I'm telling you, not only will I not hurt everyone, but I will save everyone! ”

Angrily walking out of the warehouse, he had nowhere to go for a while, but turned around and said, "Arrange a place for me to live, I need to rest." ”

Riddle motioned to his brother beside him, "Quinn, you take the Paladin to live in the White Cave." ”

Quinn was the third child who had brought the weapon before, and he snorted unconvinced, and walked in front of Unas to lead the way.

The two of them went out of the warehouse, only walked a short distance in the corridor, and soon arrived at the destination, the so-called white hole is a white cave, not big or small, the environment is very good, and there is also a small puddle of steaming spring water.

When Quinn turned around and wanted to leave, Unas stopped him and asked, "Where did you get your weapons?" Slave owners can't send weapons down, right? ”

"Save the ore and make it yourself." Quinn didn't want to say a word.

Unas wanted to ask in more detail, but seeing this kid's stubbornness, he suddenly lost his mood and waved his hand to let him go.

After a while, Riddle sent a small bag of grain to the watchdog who had been kicked by Unas before, and the guy was still busy apologizing and begging for mercy, and Unas was not interested in entanglement with this little minion, so he took the food and kicked him again, and then let him go.
