Act 268 The Clear Springs Mine and the Mercenary Guild
After leaving Hogray Village, White Steel made another detour to the Qingquan Mine.
The largest magic crystal mine in the territory of Tuze once fell into the hands of the undead, providing a large number of magic crystals to the necromancers of the psychic holy tower.
At the time of the aid of Duze, the mine had now been transferred to White Steel under an agreement with Morey III.
Of course, this is only in name, but the actual control of this mine is the newly established Ministry of Resources of the Storm Base.
The Ministry of Resources, the newly established department, is responsible for the overall planning of all the property resources in the area controlled by the Storm Base, and the most important of them is naturally the Magic Crystal Mine, which has never been seen on Earth.
After the completion of the intervention on Luna Island, the Ministry of Resources also had the idea of Moon Well Water, but it had to be abandoned due to the special agreement between the base and the pharmaceutical company.
However, even so, Baigang still owns a small stake in Qingquan Mine, and when mining resumes, it can provide Baigang with a large amount of dividends every year, and now it is considered a personal property to come here.
After coming to the Qingquan Mine, Bai Gang and the others saw a strange scene.
On the one hand, all kinds of excavation machinery are in full swing of mining, and on the other hand, there are mercenary tents one after another, and even the number of mercenaries and armies is much more than that of miners!
The doubts shown by the white steel Sylne felt incredible, it was a mine under his name, and those armies were also his troops, how could such a big action not be known as a lord!?
Doubts are doubts, but Sylne didn't think much about it, after all, the land that White Steel needs to manage is quite large, and there are quite a lot of things, and it is not very strange that it is just a mine and has not been remembered for a while.
"When the undead of the Psychic Tower occupied this mine, those necromancers turned it into a ghost town in order to speed up the mining of the magic crystal mine!
The mine is full of skeleton soldiers and ghouls, and there are many mid-level undead as overseers, it is said that because the magic escaping in the mine is too strong, there will be some advanced high-level undead, of course, almost all of them are cannon fodder high-level like skeleton warriors. ”
"In other words, the Qingquan Mine has not been completely cleaned up until now......
"That's how it should be."
Bai Gang and they parked the carriage on the periphery of the mine, and then walked into the mining area, the inspection of the mining area is very simple, simply register personal information and then take a photo and leave fingerprints and other information.
In fact, if it weren't for the massive influx of mercenaries, the security of the mining area would have dropped sharply, and thefts would have occurred from time to time, and even photos and fingerprints would not have been kept.
The only thing to guard against here is the undead.
After entering the mining area, Bai Gang and Sylne were immediately shocked by the liveliness here, it was clear that it was in the hands of the undead a few months ago, but now it has become the size of a large town!?
Warehouses, taverns, restaurants, residences, inns, it really is a town!
In addition to the obvious traces of rush on these buildings, it can be called a miracle!
Walking along the road, Bai Gang saw a small three-story building with a sign of "Mercenary Guild".
Bai Gang opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything - he really didn't know what to say at this time.
Although the mercenary industry is very prosperous in Anglia, there are no things that can often be seen in mercenary guilds!
Then, a more reasonable explanation is that it is a Chinese from the earth who opened this guild!
Soon, White Steel's speculation was confirmed.
On the first floor of the guild was a tavern for the mercenaries to rest, so they found an empty table and sat down.
Although the attendants here are all native Anglian natives, when the white steel guards discover a wired bug from a hidden place under the table, it becomes clear who is behind the guild.
After sitting for a while and figuring out the basic structure of the guild, Bai Gang and the others went up to the mission area on the second floor, which, as written, would also issue various missions to the indigenous mercenaries of Anglia.
These tasks are usually to clean up a certain mine, and when the undead are cleared, they can get the corresponding contribution points, which can be used to exchange for Mithril coins, and can also be used to buy various Chinese materials.
However, the most popular ones are the various weapons and equipment!
Whether in the past life or in the present life, Bai Gang has the experience of fighting the undead in that small space, and knows how high the casualty rate of soldiers will be when facing the undead with an ineffective thermal imager in that unfortunate environment!
For the Chinese army, which mainly uses firearms, the combat environment in the pit is like hell! You can be surrounded by a horde of undead at any time, and even more troublesome is that your comrades behind you can't provide you with any support in that small space - if they shoot, they will usually just make you die faster!
In the case that the "Yuelong" individual armor has not yet been put into mass production, the base decisively gave up investing troops in the pit and replaced them with Anglian mercenaries!
These martial arts mercenaries are strong in combat, flexible enough to deal with unexpected situations, and even better, they are also very cheap, and one aluminum ingot is enough to make them eager for dangerous missions! I don't know how much higher the cost performance and efficiency are than the remote-controlled combat robots!
And the mercenaries are also very satisfied with this job, because although the combat environment is a bit miserable, most of the opponents are low-level undead, and the danger is far less than other jobs that need to deal with mid-level or even high-level undead, and the price offered by the guild is also very attractive, they haven't heard of anyone anywhere else who will pay with Mithril!
The guilds supported by the base are not unscrupulous enterprises that risk human lives to pile up victories, and the minimum protective equipment will still be provided to the mercenaries, of course, this must be exchanged for contribution points.
These equipment ranged from the lowest-grade mass-produced goods to the aluminum alloy armor produced using micro-engraving technology, especially when the staff showed a set of enchanted aluminum alloy full-body armor in public, all the mercenaries were boiling!
The dense runes on the armor are comparable to artifacts after completing the enchantment!
When the news spread, the mercenaries of the entire Duze were rushing towards the Qingshui Mine, and even those who were not short of money hoped to get a good set of equipment.
It's just that so far, no one has successfully exchanged for the top-level aluminum alloy full-body armor, and only one high-level mercenary got the cuirass in the set a few days ago, but even so, it has stimulated the mercenaries, and now the hall is full of mercenaries at all levels who are red-eyed and rush to the mine just after completing the team!
