Chapter 42: Night Cry Rebellion: Poison Miasma Mining Area

It was late afternoon, and although the sun in the sky was no longer as hot as it was at noon, it still scorched the ground hot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTo make matters worse, today is another windless day, and pedestrians on the road can only endure the weather that is upsetting.

A group of five people, a dog and a goblin, walked on the way to the Yewai mining area, and since all the coachmen were unwilling to risk going to the mining area, they had to go on foot. Although Yu Yi's strong request has reduced a lot of unnecessary weight, several people are still carrying eye-catching large packages behind them.

Goblin Ade, in particular, is the largest of its sacks. Although the luggage was dragged by a small trailer made of wooden planks, it was clear that the weight was too heavy for the short, thin goblin. No matter how much tiring work he usually did, he couldn't make this goblin stronger at all, and his thin arms and legs were already soaked with sweat.

I don't know if its owner also noticed this, stared at the goblin for a long time, and finally said: "This hell weather, my wine won't spoil, right?" ”

One sentence made Ade completely desperate, and it knew that it should not have any illusions about this profiteer who ate people and did not spit out bones, so he lowered his head and silently pulled up the car, and at the same time secretly praised his own conduct in his heart. If it were another goblin, he would definitely find a way to kill this damn slave owner! Poisoning, sneak attacking, or biting off his neck in the middle of the night......

But in fact, goblins are now treated much better than slaves. If it hadn't been for Hardins' willingness to enter into a master-servant contract with it, it would have really become a commodity sold at a low price in the slave market, and it would have felt what real despair was.

Regarding the strange hero of Goblin Ade, Yu Yi also asked Hardings why he accepted such a guy. Anyone with a little common sense knows that the goblin race is quite weak, and even if it doesn't talk about strength, their appearance is enough to give people a good reason to veto it.

Hardings looked pitiful with a casual remark. Also, life players really don't care much about combat matters such as contract heroes, and it can be said that most life players don't have heroes. But I think that except for the unruly Hardins, no one should accept a goblin.

Seeing that there was still some distance from the mining area, in order to reduce the boredom along the way, Yu Yi casually looked for a topic: "When did this mining riot happen?" ”

"You ...... yesterday" Hardings just showed a strange expression, but he was quickly relieved, and after opening a bottle of fruit wine, he said, "Yes, you were drunk yesterday." The riot happened in the second half of last night, and the movement at that time was not small, but all unconscious drunks should have heard of it. ”

"There is a riot in the mining area, how can there be movement in the city?" Mi Wei asked out loud, she was also drunk last night, so naturally she would not have any memory of what happened after that.

"It's the underground mines that rioted, have you forgotten? This underground mine is kept secret from the outside world. Now that such a fuss is completely exposed. For her question, Yu Yi was able to answer, "What kind of lie about the ghost mine owner was exposed at once, and the people who disappeared for no reason in the past were naturally attributed to the underground mine." A group of people who have been deceived for a long time, after learning the truth, of course, the crowd was excited. ”

Last night's situation was just as his friend had said, and Hardings nodded in agreement: "Indeed, late last night, many people who fled from the mines brought the news of the riot back to the city. When everyone was curious about this underground mine that suddenly appeared, many people in the know jumped out and explained the situation of this mine thoroughly. Thanks to this news, the drunks who were not good at drinking finally stopped going crazy in my shop, and gathered the crowd to the inner city to shout and curse, thinking that now that they had slept on the cold ground in the prison, the wine should have woken up. ”

Yu Yi believes that many of those insiders who broke the news must be people like himself who did the Wanaid mission at the beginning. Now it seems that the efforts of the old blacksmith did not seem to be useless in the slightest.

Although he was drunk last night, it was not difficult for him to imagine the embarrassing scene at that time. One second, everyone was drinking for the independence of Wildfire City, and the next second they learned of the rulers' crimes. Under the huge contrast, the expressions on the faces of those fools must be wonderful.

"However, this underground mine should only be the masterpiece of the High Court Council under the rule of the Canglong Empire at that time. Now the independent Wildfire City should be the new regime, and it belongs to the rule of that prince, which should have nothing to do with him, right? He asked.

At this time, Debbie shook his head and replied, "Those miners are innocent civilians, and most of them still have families in the city. Even if the final riot killed the soldiers who were overseer, it would be excusable. However, the situation is now clear, and instead of pardoning the miners, the acting prince ordered to suppress them by force, and also offered a reward for the head of the leader of the rebellion. ”

"The emperor's mind is a virtue, and there is no tolerance for such things as riots and rebellions." Hardings said, "This opportunity can be regarded as a clear way for the people of Wildfire City to see that this so-called new deal is not a good thing." When he was fighting for power with the High Cabinet Council before, he was so friendly and democratic, but now he is in a secure position, and he is not like that. I even doubt that if it hadn't been for this riot, Prince Adrian would have continued to use that nasty underground mine. ”

Seeing the other party's indignant appearance, Yu Yi couldn't help but quip: "The ruler of the discussion in broad daylight, so many people on the road to suppress it, are you not afraid that others will sue you?" ”

"Hey, I'm still afraid of that?" Hardings didn't have the slightest fear on his face, but raised his voice: "I just think that Prince Adrian is a scumbag, what's wrong?" Does he have what it takes to kill me? As he spoke, he took a big sip of the fruit wine that had just been opened, and he looked like a dead face, which amused several other people.

Although he understood that this was just a joke, Yu Yi's intuition told him that something was wrong with his eldest brother, but he didn't say anything. He just asked, "What is going on on with the Flame Fang Legion?" ”

"They and the prince are not in the same boat yet, of course they support it, but this kind of work is usually left to that special sub-group." After taking a sip, Hardings sighed comfortably and replied.

After hearing this answer, Yu Yi couldn't help but be a little disappointed. It seems that the old uncle of Lamobis has also begun to suffer from gains and losses after standing in a high position, and has begun to agree to such a decision. However, this choice is not actually wrong, and in the big picture, Wildfire has only just become independent, and if the high-level rulers start to have political discord at this time, it obviously does not bode well.

When he lowered his head to think, Mi Wei beside him dragged him: "How is it?" Am I right? As it turned out, I was right. ”

"What?" He couldn't understand the girl's headless words for a while.

Obviously dissatisfied with his forgetfulness, Mi Wei slapped his hands heavily, then flicked her long hair and explained, "That's what I told you yesterday about Prince Adrian's divine powers. Whoever receives divine power will have a great change in temperament! ”

It is true that Adrian's performance is not satisfactory now, but Yu Yi still does not believe in the theory of divine power, after all, divine power really only appears in legends. "How do you know he's not a hypocritical villain? Maybe that's what he really is now. ”

"Impossible! He is simply a tyrant now, and he does not have the tame appearance of before. The braided girl shook her head and said with the pigtails on top of her head.

Yu Yi heard the clue: "How docile did you look in the past? Have you ever seen this prince before? "Although he had heard of it for a long time, he had really never seen this son of a high-ranking city lord. Those rumored figures, counting them, should only be Uncle Lamobis he really knows.

"No... No! The girl's eyes flashed, and she denied it in some haste: "How could I have seen him?" I haven't even been to the inner city a few times. ”

I have to say that this little sister of mine is really not very good at lying, he smiled, and he believed it. But in retrospect, he didn't know much about Mi Wei's specific background, only that she came to Wildfire City from outside. Maybe she really has some great background?

Hardings, who was on the side, threw the wine bottle in his hand, and then joked with a smile: "Mi Wei, it's better for you to listen to those drunks less bragging in the future." He moved freely, but he didn't notice that the goblin behind him Ade's gaze was almost thrown to the ground along with the thrown bottle.

The fatigue along the way had already made Ade sore, and he was expecting to drink some cold water to buffer his fatigue. At this time, the deed owner took out another bottle of fruit wine that haunted it, and saw the appearance of the other party drinking heavily, but when he drank water again, he could no longer get rid of his fatigue, and even he only felt that the more he drank, the more thirsty he became.

Finally, the bottle is out of the hands of the owner! The goblin's eyes widened, and the moment it hit the ground, it rushed out desperately and picked up the bottle. Just as he was about to pour even a drop of wine into his mouth, a flying foot kicked the bottle away.

"Ade! Do you want to steal a drink again? If you get drunk, don't blame me for burying you alive here. Hardings said viciously.

"Why don't you let your men take a sip of wine? As for slamming the door so much? Yu Yi said, although the goblin is only a second-class bronze hero, but after all, it is also a hero. What's more, it seems that there is a special genre among players now, and players of this genre will use all the contract slots to recruit bronze heroes, that is, they believe that quantity can overwhelm quality. Of course, there aren't a few well-known players who follow this genre.

"Didn't you call me a profiteer? I'm just slamming the door......" Hardings was still arguing with his friend, but he stopped talking as he walked down the slope and saw the sight in the distance. Smacking his lips, he said, "Fortunately, I have prepared a lot of antidotes." ”

Ahead, of course, is the destination of their trip - the night cry mining area. But at this time, the mining area made Yu Yi and Mi Wei almost exclaim, and now it is unrecognizable to them.

At some point, a poisonous miasma has arisen in this mining area, and from a distance, you can see a smoky miasma that is difficult for even sunlight to penetrate. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find the poisonous pools scattered in between.

Only then did Yu Yi understand why Hardings had inexplicably prepared so many antidotes. "Do you know what's going on here?" He asked.

Hardings gave him a blank look as a matter of course: "What nonsense, I'm the owner of the tavern, brother." Of course, the news is well-informed, and this is nothing new, a miasma began to rise here a month ago. However, since it was his first time in the Night Cry Mining Area, he was not surprised except that he felt dangerous.

"But here...... How did it come to this? Mi Wei, like Yu Yi, asked in a daze. What she is even more puzzling is that in such an environment, the riot still needs to be suppressed? As long as the area is blocked, it won't be long before all the civilian miners in it will die.

The tavernkeeper shook his head, he wouldn't know everything. "Who knows? I listened to a man who made money by mining... People say that this venom suddenly came out of the ground little by little one day. After a long time, it has become what it is now, and people who don't come to the mining area often will naturally not notice such changes, and there are certainly many people like you. It's time for Ade to set up a stall and start selling! ”

Hearing the order, the goblin obediently opened the bag of marijuana on the trailer and got busy. Soon, a large amount of antidote was laid out on a thin cloth.

After seeing a lot of pedestrians next to him who were about to turn around and leave, Yu Yi didn't know what the master and servant were going to do. "A profiteer is a profiteer! You also said that it was just a random task! That's what you're thinking of coming here to sell potions, aren't you? ”

"It's really just a random task, but as a successful businessman, you still have to have a mind at that. Rest assured, there are your dividends. After saying that, the profiteer stopped taking care of him, and shouted loudly: "Sell the antidote!" It's early, it's late! Come on! ”

Just shouted like this, and a lot of people really gathered around. It would be a long time to turn around and return to the city, and no one would want to be a step behind them, not to mention how painful it was to travel in this sweltering heat.

As expected, the stall business is quite good. And it's worth mentioning that Hardings' pricing of drugs is also interesting. The unit price of the antidote is only slightly higher than the original price, but whoever buys it more and more expensive, and the price increase is quite terrifying. But in this miasma, no one can expect one or two bottles of antidote to complete the task safely, so this business is sure to make a profit.

Although he scolded the other party's profiteers, Yu Yi was still happy to see his friends make money. However, just when the business was at its hottest, the arrival of a new group of customers made his face suddenly sink.

It was Lin Qihan, and the annoying wavy curl beside her......
