Chapter 109: The Gold Mine of Mire Town (Part I)
Abandoned gold mines in Miremarsh.
The soldiers had already entered the mine to explore, while Lorraine and Dai Wei waited outside the mine for news, and during this time, the two discussed their plans for the future.
"Saledo has explained that there are seven joints, distributed in various borders of Vendôme, are we going to clear it now? Or go back to Vendôme to report to the mentor? Dai Wei asked.
Luo Lin had already considered this problem, and if he went directly to clean it up, he could easily capture one or two joints and make more meritorious deeds. But the Destroyer Miè faction is not vegetarian, they will react quickly, and then it is very likely that they will send some powerful people that they are difficult to resist, then they will fall into an extremely dangerous situation, and may even be completely annihilated.
Obviously, this is not wise.
"Go back and report." He replied.
He still had a reason that he couldn't say, and that was that he knew that those connectors were of similar rank to the soldier he had captured at the Hidden Stone, all of whom were Saledo's subordinates, and that it wouldn't be of much use to capture him.
Now the important thing is to tell the vianna here, and then he can follow the known clues and reveal to her as much information as he can about the destruction of the miè sect.
"But if we get out now and catch more connectors, we may be able to find deeper clues." Dai Wei favored a different opinion.
During this time, she had experienced a lot of things, and all of them conveyed the news that there was a terrible dark force in Vendôme, a growing cult of evil gods.
From the assassination of her by the Assassins, to the fall of Valos, to the appearance of the Dark Warlock. are all illustrating this point. to this force. She felt a deep fear. She felt like she had to figure it out.
"It's a possibility. But we don't have enough supplies and we have to go back. ”
"But ...... is still in Vendôme, and the surrounding towns can draw supplies.
"The enemy is in the dark, we don't know who will attack us next, Davi, we are not prepared, it is too risky to go to clear it like this."
This convinced Dai Wei. She nodded, "Well, you have a point. ”
At this moment, in the cave, Adjutant Hansen trotted out with a torch, saw Rollin, stood still and saluted, and reported loudly: "Sir, we have found something amazing in the cave, I think you must take a look." ”
Luo Lin and Dai Wei glanced at each other, and they both saw interested looks in each other's eyes. Rollin spoke, "Lead the way." ”
The three of them entered the mine together.
The soldiers had planted torches on both sides of the cave walls, so the mine was still bright. The passage is intricate, like a labyrinth, but the soldiers have left people at every corner of the passage to guide them along the way, and they don't worry about getting lost.
A few people walked all the way inside, about ten minutes away, and when they reached the depths of the mine, the originally narrow and low passage suddenly became a spacious underground hall.
The hall is about five meters high, with an area of hundreds of square meters, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with bright crystals, and a breeze blows from time to time, bringing fresh air to the place. In one corner of the hall, neatly laid a pile of crate boxes, fifteen of them, all with seals on them, one of which had been torn off and had been opened.
"Sir, come and see." Adjutant Hansen's tone trembled a little, as if the box contained something extraordinary.
Rollin already had a hunch, he could guess what it was, so he stepped forward quietly, glanced at the box, and immediately saw a crystal bright light in his eyes.
Sure enough, this box, no, it should be that these fifteen boxes are all spell crystals, looking at this luster, it should be a crystal rough that has not been refined.
"Oh, God~" Dai Wei also saw it, she let out a low cry, her face shocked.
As a magician, she knows very well the value of spell crystals, it is the most important spell casting material for magicians, with crystals can be used to create magic weapons, as the magic power of the magic array node, a city wall, a lord's fortress, a mage tower all need a large number of spell crystals, but spell crystals are extremely rare, it is associated with a variety of precious metal ores, such as silver ore, about a ton of iron ore can be mined to get a fist-sized spell crystal.
For a lord, spell crystals are an important strategic resource.
The extremely low mining volume is destined to the high value of the spell crystal, a refined spell crystal can be roughly exchanged for ten times the weight of gold, the unrefined rough stone is cheaper, but it can also be worth at least four times the value, and there are fifteen boxes of rough stones here, just looking at it makes people feel heartbeat.
All in all, it's a lot of money to drive people crazy.
Luo Lin could feel that everyone's eyes in this hall were attracted by these boxes, and the eyes of the soldiers around him were firmly fixed on this side, and Adjutant Hansen's face was full of a secret excitement, as if to say, "Sir, shall we divide it?" ”
Relatively speaking, Dai Wei is the calmest, she comes from a wealthy merchant family, has seen the world, except for the initial surprise, quickly calmed down.
But the soldier's mentality worries Rollin, who can sense that if one is not handled well, this huge fortune may bring disaster.
Luo Lin remained silent and asked first: "In addition to these spell crystals, have you found anything else, such as gold coins or something?" ”
After saying that, he looked at Hansen with burning eyes.
Han Sen hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Sir, I found some, there are about eight hundred gold coins, you see, over here." ”
Luo Lin looked over, and saw a delicate small wooden box, which contained about half a box of gold coins, and judging by the number, there were indeed so many.
But Rollin keenly showed a hint of weakness on Hansen's face, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look into Rollin's eyes.
Luo Lin immediately understood that there must be more gold coins than this, but these soldiers had secretly divided some of them.
'Heh~' Luo Lin didn't feel angry, but these soldiers also left him as a commander five hundred gold coins, which was not bad, he was just a little funny.
He thought about it, then walked back to the crate, and closed the lid with a 'clang', covering the brilliance of the spell crystal, and then he gently lifted the wooden box, weighed it, and estimated: "It's about a hundred kilograms, fifteen boxes, that's 1,500 kilograms, roughly 60,000 gold coins, yes, this is a good harvest." ”
60,000 gold coins! Rollin saw that many soldiers were secretly swallowing saliva, and one soldier even had a look in his eyes that was not greedy. He continued, "It is indeed very rich, and when we bring these crystals back to Vendôme, I am sure that the lord will be very happy, and he will definitely not be stingy with the reward." ”
Then, he turned to Adjutant Hansen and ordered: "Hansen, listen to my orders. ”
"Yes, sir."
"Move all these crystals out of the cave, and we'll go out at once and bring them back to Vendôme. Note! Not a single rough stone can be moved, who dares to move, kill! ”
At first, Luo Lin's tone was quite normal, but when it came to the back, his demeanor and expression became extremely solemn, full of cold murderous aura.
Wealth is moving, and these crystals are enough to tempt the original sin of greed in anyone's heart, and he must use strong means to dispel all these thoughts.
This was the first time that Luo Lin showed such a cold attitude, and even Dai Wei, who was familiar with him, felt trembling in her heart and felt her scalp explode. Adjutant Hansen was even more excited, and the little thought in his heart was frightened and disappeared, and hurriedly made a military salute and shouted: "Yes, sir!" ”
He immediately turned around and shouted orders for the soldiers to begin carrying spell crystals out of the cave.
The surrounding soldiers also heard Luo Lin's order, and they were already in awe of this commander, but when they saw him give a strict order, they were all silent, and they did not dare to come out, carrying the crates in silence.
There were not many crystals, and it was quickly finished, Rollin pointed to the box containing the gold coins again, and said to Hansen: "These gold coins are also trophies, you arrange it, take it and divide it." I don't have to divide it. ”
"Sir, this?" Hansen was a little surprised, they had actually taken their share a long time ago, and these gold coins were left for the two commanders, Rollin and Davi, which was the default rule in the army.
Rollin smiled meaningfully: "Don't say it, I know everything." Go divide it. ”
"I don't need to." Dai Wei is also a smart person, and has already figured out the purpose of Luo Lin's actions, and the previous strong order to set up a minefield, and at this time, he used gentle means to show grace, so that the possibility of civil strife caused by the huge amount of spell crystals will be minimized.
Hansen understood what Luo Lin meant, his face was happy, and he saluted: "Yes, sir! ”
Then he beckoned the soldiers to begin to distribute the gold coins, and each soldier had at least four more gold coins, and all of them had a strong smile on their faces, and this income today was equivalent to half a year's military salary.
At this time, the scout captain hurried from a mine and reported, "Sir, we have a secret room, but we can't open it. ”
"Lead the way!" Rollin became interested.
The scout captain turned back to the passage, followed by Rollin and Davi, along with a few other soldiers, and passed through a winding passage, at the end of which a stone door appeared.
The stone gate is very secretive, almost integrated with the passage, and if you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.
"It's a camouflage rune." Dai Wei stepped forward and reached out to gently touch the lines on the surface of the stone door, these lines did not look chaotic, but under the tracing of Dai Wei's fingers, there were clear patterns.
"It's a Milt rune lock, it's very difficult to crack, and it can't be opened without the corresponding rune key."
Rollin turned and beckoned to one of the soldiers, and when the soldier came, he ordered, "Go and bring that dwarf." ”
That dwarf must have the key. (To be continued!)
