Chapter 14: The Secret in the Shadows
Hearing Xiu Yin's thoughts, if it was half a month ago, Xiu Ke felt that he would immediately and loudly reprimand Xiu Yin for being naïve and nonsense, but at this moment, from his eyes, Xiu Ke realized how alienated he had been from his own children, and he would have some strangeness.
What could be more tragic than the strangeness of a father when he confronts his own child?
The baron only hesitated slightly, then nodded in agreement, "Well, maybe this is the last time my father can help you." Shuin, you're like your mother, sometimes it's always so surprising......"
"Thank you, father, I think I will be worthy of the glory of the Neumanns!"
Jack's bite on the leg hasn't healed yet, so this time it can only be Bill who accompanies Xiuin to the mine.
This time for a short journey, in fact, Xiuyin no longer got motion sickness, but in order not to make Jack suspicious, he still used the characteristics of an actor to faint in the carriage.
Not long after the two arrived at the mine, Field, the representative of the "Moon Song", also arrived, but there was an acquaintance by his side—Cassios, who seemed to always wear a round hat.
Xiu Yin thought about it for a while, this is not surprising, Casio has become the guide of "Moon Song" in Lysing Castle, but Xiu is still worried about Casios's future situation in Lysing Castle, after all, the rapid development of "Moon Song" will only arouse the alarm of Count Fraser, the lord of Haider, if one day Moon Song and Lysing Castle are opposed, Xiu Yin does not know how to face his childhood friend.
"Young Master Xiuyin, we're meeting again!"
Field still had that flattering smile, but in fact Xiu Yin was not disgusted by this smile, and he had been showing this expression every day for months, and then rushed to interview with one new company after another.
"Mr. Field, let's take a look at the pit first. ”
When Xiu Yin arrived, he had already told Reiner, the person in charge of the area, that the Baron was going to sell the mine, and although Reiner didn't say anything on the surface, he was very opposed to the Baron's sale of the mine.
"There are so few workers here!" The Laixing mine was obviously different from the other mines that Field had already seen, there was no lively scene of moving earth and rock outside the pit, and there were not many workers in the pit after walking some distance.
"I've been reporting the situation here to my lords before, and the ore vein resources here are indeed close to depletion. Casios was whispering to Field, but the words went into Shuin's ears word for word.
"I know that it is already a mine that is almost abandoned, but I still took the initiative to buy this place, it seems that there is indeed something wrong!" Xiu Yin thought secretly in his heart, he believed that "Moon Song" definitely had a big secret.
Hughin maintains his usual "he" style, with his head shrugged and gives the impression that he is in fact in a daze, while Reiner is depressed from the moment he learns that the pit is going to be sold, and Bill is not a willing person to speak.
So it was Field and Cassios who had been talking with great interest, and Xiun had been secretly observing from the sidelines, and Field obviously didn't care about the amount of resources left in the pit, he had always cared about the depth of the pit and the length of the tunnel.
Of course, Casios would not know these data, and when asked about Reiner, Reiner looked at Xiuin, as the second son of the baron, Xiuin still has the right to decide the current situation.
"Come on, Reiner, Mr. Field is the big patron here!" said Huin asked Reiner to tell Felder all the data about the pit.
Despite some reluctance, Reiner gave the details of the pit in detail, and Xiu Yin on the side also wrote down all the data in his head.
As he continued deeper into the pit, Field suddenly stopped in a clearing.
"Well, here, it's good, what kind of mines are produced here?" said Field, who walked to the stone wall of the pit with great interest, still tapping the stone lightly with his hands.
"I'm sorry, but this tunnel has been dug since I arrived, and it looks like there are no resources left to mine. Reiner didn't understand what Field meant by "good here."
But at this time, Xiuyin's head suddenly "buzzed"!
That's right, Field was excited, and Xiuyin, who had the qualities of an actor, could see that Field's tapping with his back to them towards the stone wall was just a cover for his already somewhat uncontrollable excitement.
Xiu Yin's head clearly remembered that this was the place where he hunted the second sharp-horned demon wolf, and it was here that Xiu Yin also found a translucent stone with a moon-red luster!
Although the stone was finally gone, Xiu Yin Ke never forgot about it, because he clearly remembered that the moment he closed his eyes, the "silver pupil" emitted a ray of light towards the blood-red stone.
Xiu Yin kept wondering, did the "Silver Pupil" absorb the stone?, "If that's the case, then wouldn't it be okay to find another one of these blood-red stones to test!"
Xiuin's eyes were fixed on Field's back, his mouth slowly curling and his heart beating faster, and he saw—
Although Field had been banging on the stone walls of the pit, after a half-circle, he finally came to a place and crouched down.
Although the light in the pit was dark, Xiu Yin would never be mistaken, it was where he found the mysterious blood-red stone, and Field was groping for something with his hands, and his face began to show a cloudy look, a little more doubt.
"Mr. Field, what's wrong with you?"
Xiu Yin chose to take the initiative, he can already determine that the "Moon Song" is inevitably related to the mysterious stone, and the "Silver Pupil" is also related to the mysterious stone, Xiu Yin does not know what kind of relationship there is between the three, what he wants to do is to grasp all the information.
"Ah, nothing, it just seems to smell some blood here. Field said, sticking out his nose and sniffing hard in the air.
"A few days ago, a wolf came in here, and it seems that Young Master Xiuyin killed it here. Reiner wondered if that would make Field feel taboo and give up on buying the pit.
Field's attention shifted to Xiuin, "Oh, young master killed a wolf here?"
"Ah, just by chance, by chance. Xiu Yin complained in his heart.
"How could a wolf run into such a deep pit? Uh, like the wolf is holding something?"
Field looked at Xiu Yin with an expectant look, he couldn't admit the breath here, so he was full of hope for the young master's answer.
