Due to the cold weather in the far north, the population has always been relatively sparse compared to the southern part of the kingdom, not to mention Sunset Town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The establishment of Sunset Town, or a hundred years ago after the Xuedi people joined the kingdom, there were shrewd people who came here to resell things to the Xuedi people, so as to make a lot of profits, although it was very cold, but as long as they came, they basically made money, and there were people who served the fallen masters, and the family gradually formed a settlement.

But with the betrayal of the Xuedi people, and the ransacking of Sunset Town this time, no matter how much Fan Pei tries to publicize it, no one will be willing to settle in Sunset Town. Besides, every town in the far north is short of people, and every town has its own population.

Without population, all development is empty talk.

For example, the current Sunset Town is in ruins, and there are no people, so it is impossible to clean the streets and rebuild houses.

"Gail, where is the most populous around here?" Van Pei sat by the fire, rubbing his hands together from time to time to dispel some of the chill.

"There aren't many people in the nearby towns, and the town of Heita has a population of only 3,000. Fury Wind Fortress has the largest population, with 30,000 people. After Gale replied casually, he looked at Van Pei in surprise, "Young Master, you don't want to be an important person from the Fury Wind Fortress, do you?" This is impossible, the lord of the Fury Wind Fortress is Viscount Dassault, he is a member of the Three Princes' Party, and he is a mortal enemy with you. ”

Van Pei frowned, this Viscount Dassault is a ruthless corner, if he didn't cross over, although Dassault would lose to the Xuedi people next year and lose the Angry Wind Fortress, but he retreated to the royal capital and became the pawn of the third prince to eradicate the hostile forces, including framing the Shaw family and framing Van Pei's brother and sister, all of which were from the hands of Viscount Dassault.

If you want someone from him, there is only a fantasy.

Of course, this is someone else, and Van Pei naturally has his own way.

"I heard that Viscount Dassault accused Baron Zorn of colluding with the Snowdis rebellion, and the whole family from the baron, the baroness, sons and daughters, including the knights, the guards and the serfs, nearly 300 people were arrested, right?"

Van Pei took the roasted sweet potato that the soldier had taken out of the fire, and kept tossing the sweet potato back and forth with both hands to remove the heat.

"Young Master, you're not looking for Dassault to ask for these people, are you? Baron Zorne's rebellion is a sure thing, and he will be guillotined in a few days. Besides, even if they are all slaves now, even if Viscount Dassault is kicked in the head by a donkey and asks you to buy it, you ......"

Gale didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was also very clear, Van Pei was as poor as a dog now.

Van Pei peeled the roasted sweet potato in silence and said nothing. Commander Gale and several soldiers could only eat roasted sweet potatoes in silence for a while, and compared to the residents rummaging around outside, they were quite good.

This meal of roasted sweet potatoes is very depressing.

"Have you finished eating? When you're done eating, follow me out of town. By the way, find some pickaxes. ”

Van Pei threw the sweet potato peel on the ground, clapped his hands, and immediately a soldier came over with a basin of water to clean his hands. The well had long since frozen, and the soldiers put the snow in a basin to melt on the fire, and Van Pei simply washed his face and was immediately refreshed.

After coming out of Sunset Town, there is a scene of snow-capped mountain closures, and the dense forests that used to be covered in snow are also covered in heavy snow.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Gale was on his horse, and to the right of his horse hung an iron pickaxe from a broken house.

"Go for the mines."

Van Pei replied casually, recalling the location of the mine near Sunset Town.

Mining is one of the core incomes of the kingdom, and the richest merchants are basically related to it, and countless people flock to each mine. Without him, there are too few mines in the commercial alliance, and the demand for weapons has been huge in recent years, so the demand for ores in the kingdom has increased greatly.

"Young master, don't look for it, there is no mine near Sunset Town at all, the Fury Wind Fortress has been surveyed a long time ago, there is really a mine, Viscount Dassault is afraid that it will be taken long ago."

When Gale heard that he was looking for a mine that didn't exist at all, his evaluation of Van Pei dropped again, and the third ancestor was the third ancestor.

Several other soldiers were also helpless, if it weren't for the regiment commander's insistence on protecting this third ancestor, they would have stopped doing it a long time ago.

After an hour of riding in the snow, Van Pei raised his whip and pointed to the depression between the two mountains not far away: "The last time the army attacked the Shedi people, when I passed here, I noticed that there was an underground cave. Not surprisingly, there is iron ore in it. ”

What?

Gale and several of the soldiers looked at Van Pei in surprise.

"Young Master, did you come to check on yourself when we were resting on the march? No way, I arranged for several guards to protect you at that time, why didn't I know anything about it? ”

Gale felt that something was wrong, and at that time he specially asked the guards to inform him of all the movements of Young Master Van Pei, not to spy on Van Pei, but not to let Van Pei have a little mistake.

"I told them not to reveal it. Unfortunately, these loyal guards have died protecting Sunset. By the way, in the future, we will set up an immortal hero monument for them. Let's go down and see if there are any iron mines. ”

Van Pei didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he drove his horse directly to the mine.

And Gail, who hurriedly followed behind, suddenly felt that he couldn't see through the behavior of this third ancestor.

If you are really such a shrewd person, how can you have such a bad evaluation in the royal capital, among the young generation of the entire Duke Shaw Bird's Palace, you are the most unproductive, and you are the culprit who led to the ransacking of Sunset Town.

After walking in the snow for another half an hour, the group finally came to the entrance to the underground cave in the mouth of Van Pei.

This entrance is on a small slope between the two mountains, the entrance to the cave is not large, although it is blocked by heavy snow, but there is Gael and his party, and it took half an hour to clear it. But the countless forks in the cave that went underground made Gail stunned.

Because there are many forks, the Angry Wind Fortress sent people to investigate, but after going around for a long time, they didn't find anything, so they couldn't do anything about this underground mine.

However, in the game, Van Pei has worked as a coolie in this cave, sold himself to make money, and knows the terrain in the cave very well, and he can't walk away with his eyes closed.

Twenty minutes later, when Gale was almost dazed, he finally reached a dead end, and Van Pé asked Gael's soldiers to start smashing rock walls with iron pickaxes.

Can you really smash out iron ore?

Gail and several soldiers looked at each other, but they could only smash their heads!

Ten minutes later, jingle bell!

As Captain Gale grumbled down with an iron pickaxe, a piece of iron ore fell to the ground.

This crisp sound of landing marks the final discovery of the underground iron ore mine in Sunset Town, and it was discovered by the third ancestor of the Shaw Bird family.
