Chapter 158: Promoted to Chief Engineer
After counting the spoils, Downton couldn't help but take a deep breath, the harvest was too rich, money, magic stones, equipment, not to mention for the time being, just having a relationship with Dauphin and getting his appreciation, it was an invisible hole card.
Downton believes that as long as he takes Tyson's brother's head back, even if he can't be a superintendent, he can't run away from the position of overseer.
It will not be so easy for little Grandet to find trouble again.
"Big brother!" Hu Tao tugged at Downton's cuffs.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that little Lori wanted to speak and stopped, Downton didn't know why, and then followed her gaze to look at the torn dragon tooth that was placed aside, and came to his senses, "You want to find a tomahawk?"
"Is that okay?" Hu Tao hadn't taken the initiative to ask for other people's things, and felt very embarrassed, but she didn't think Downton was an outsider, "You have a new weapon, you shouldn't be able to use it, right?"
"Well, I've got you. Downton smiled, "Whatever you want in the future, just say." ”
Although Downton has risen to the fourth order of the soul, at this stage, the main thing is to strengthen the soul origin and increase the soul power, and his physical fitness is still average, if he wants to easily swing and tear the dragon teeth, it is still very difficult, so it is better to give it to Hu Tao.
"Big brother is so good!" Hu Tao cheered, and rushed to the tomahawk at a trot, picked it up, and waved it a few times, as easily as picking another bean sprout.
Out of politeness, Homer didn't use magic to detect Lori's body, nor did she do a bloodline purification shiyan, otherwise she could roughly figure out her bloodline, but in any case, she was definitely not a pure human.
"Two-thirds of these loot are yours, don't pinch it, just open your mouth if you want it. Downton leaned against the wall of the cave, if it weren't for the walnut. He couldn't find a vault, let alone get the loot, a third, and he was already embarrassed.
"Hey, according to the rules of the mercenary world, shouldn't you be half divided?" Hu Tao was surprised. He waved his hand carelessly, "I only need this battle axe, and I'll give the rest to my brother." ”
Thinking of the precious and rare ghost honey that his big brother gave him when he was the hungriest, little Lori felt that she should repay him.
"Don't argue, you can save it for her. Seeing that Downton was going to say more, Homer hurriedly dissuaded, with the generous character of the master, if little Lori did not leave. I will definitely have to raise her in the future, so clear what to do?
"Jackson is on alert, but it should be safe here, after a whole night of fighting, you should be tired, rest early!" Downton was injured, and once his spirit relaxed, he felt very tired. After telling Hu Tao, he soon fell asleep.
Hu Tao made a silent gesture towards Jackson. Then he ran to Downton, and like a kitten, lay down against him.
Homer took out a blanket and put it over them.
......
As the sun rose, the riots at the Dagger Mine finally subsided, and the fire was extinguished. However, there are still some flames on some of the destroyed buildings.
Mining had to stop, and the miners, under the spur of the temporary overseers promoted by the Dauphin firing line, moved, buried the bodies, and sorted out everything in the mine.
The guards looked nervous. Escort a group of captured thugs to the dungeon, where they will be beheaded after reporting to Placido.
Other guards are going around arresting people, as long as it is a designated miner, whether or not they are involved in the riot, they will be locked up first.
"What? Downton hasn't been found yet?" Dophonk was rarely angry, but this time, he slapped the servant hard.
After inquiry, Dauphink already knew that Downton had done a lot of work yesterday and was definitely the key to quelling the riots, if he hadn't killed Ram and Holyfield in time, the rioters would have lost their leaders and become a pot of porridge, and then they would have fought separately, and if they wanted to defeat them, it would have taken a lot of effort to form a pair.
"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you send someone to find him?" Dauphink finished yelling at the servant, and stood in front of the window, looking at the half-burned mine, distressed, but soon happy again, after this chaos, he could finally eliminate the dissidents and arrange his own people, but the only trouble was that Doshav did not show up from beginning to end.
"What the hell is that guy thinking? Is he going to make an alibi?haha, if he knew that the riot had failed, he would probably be angry, right?" Dophink muttered to himself, quickly frowning again and sighing.
Take the mine, there will be constant troubles, the Black Flame Church will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely plant spies, and if you go to Zuihou yourself, you will not be able to get the fate of being set aside.
At the thought of that behemoth, the mysterious organization, Dauphink was devastated, and he did not dare to have even the slightest emotion of resistance.
"Judging by their way of acting, it seems that they are encroaching on Placido's estate, are they going to replace him......?"
Götze mixed in the crowd, cleaning up the ruins of the dormitory building, he was tired and sweaty, but he didn't dare to be lazy, the overseers had just taken office, and they were worried about being dismissed, so they took out 200% of their energy to do things, and the unlucky ones were naturally ordinary miners.
"Hurry up, I can't finish it at noon, and I'm not allowed to eat!"
Götze ignored the scolding and listened to the miners, all of whom were saying that Downton had done a great job in the riots yesterday and was definitely going to be the director, but also that some people said that he had been killed by ogres.
"It's better to be dead!"
Whenever Götze thought of his cowardice at the door when he first came to the mine, he deeply regretted that if he had stood by Downton's side at that time, his current situation would have been much better, but after a while, these thoughts turned into a deep jealousy, he longed for Downton to die, he did not want to see that boy of the same age climb to a position beyond his reach.
"It's Downton back!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, dispersing Gettze's chaotic thoughts, and he would never admit that he wanted to see Downton not return, so he followed the running crowd and stumbled towards the place where everyone was watching.
Before Götze could get closer, he saw the crowd parting like a low tide, revealing a passageway, and Downton's demon servant walked first, followed by a high-spirited little Lori, not only carrying a battle axe taller than her, but even more terrifying was that she was dragging an ogre nearly five meters tall.
Holyfield's body was dragged to the ground, its flesh and skin were worn out, and it was stained with a lot of dust, although it was embarrassed, but its huge size made it still look full of intimidation, which caused a lot of exclamation from the miners.
Dressed in the leather armor of a hundred warriors and wearing the Black Dragon's Winged Cavalry Saber at his waist, the handsome and sassy Downton was like a triumphant hero, his long military boots stepping on the ground and stepping on Götze's heart.
Gotze was in a trance, and for a moment he felt like he had become Downton, receiving the cheers of the crowd.
Snapped, there was a sudden slap on the back of the head, and the startled Gotze returned to reality.
"What's the fuss, go to work!" roared the Overseer, and then ran briskly towards Downton, and before he could get closer, he had already changed into a flattering smile.
"My lord, this is heavy, isn't it?
Dozens of overseers were courteous to their future bosses, helping Hu Tao carry the ogres, and as for those former mine tyrants and thugs, they were not in enough status and did not even have a chance to get close, so they were driven away by the overseers.
Without waiting for Downton to enter the villa building, Dauponk, who got the news, hurriedly ran over, and after rushing in front of him, it was directly a bear hug.
"It's great that you're back safely. Dofphonk rubbed Downton's hair, "From today onwards, you will be the director of the Dagger Mine!"
Although it had been expected for a long time, when they heard Dawfink's personal promise, the miners around them couldn't help but exclaim, Downton was too young.
He is only fifteen years old, and his future prospects are bound to be limitless.
At this moment, the eyes of envy, jealousy, and admiration were mixed together and fell on Downton's body.
The sun shone on the side of Downton's face, making his edges and corners more distinct, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with a smile, which was also very affinity.
Götze clenched his fists, his fingernails piercing his palms, but the remorse and jealousy still could not be eliminated, and they were clearly imprinted in his mind.
"Thank you for your appreciation!" Downton was not proud, he knew that Dawphonk was putting on a show, and the corpse of Holyfield that he brought back was also a heavy record.
"Good! Very good! worthy of my man in the West!" Dophonk let go of Downton and looked at the miners around him, "As long as you work hard, serve the mines, serve me, I will definitely not treat you badly, more positions, more good salaries, waiting for you." ”
The miners cheered and shouted for the wisdom of the master.
Dauphink was pleased with the effect, and he wanted the entire mine to fall under his control.
The mine's dormitory needs to be rebuilt, and with Downton's new identity, there are plenty of opportunities to make a fortune, but he can't afford that little money anymore, and takes a month's vacation under the pretext that he needs to recuperate from a serious injury.
Dophink did not refuse, and told him to rest well, in fact, he was also worried that Downton was too young and had no work experience, which would delay the resumption of mining in the mine.
"Big brother, I'm ready, where is that mysterious place you mentioned?" Hu Tao carried a backpack with a mountain bag and entered Downton's temporary accommodation, as for the goblin Abagon, he was casually thrown on the mine, anyway, others regarded it as a slave of Downton, and did not dare to abuse it.
After Arnold entered the tunnel, he got nothing, and came back disappointed.
Downton gave him a sum of money to find his compatriots who had crossed the Northland permafrost together, and although this group of barbarians was small in number, they were also a great force when united.
"Stand up!" Downton scrambled his backpack and stepped on the magic array.
"Teleportation Magic Array?" Hu Tao's eyes lit up and he jumped up, "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there!" Downton let go of the tome, "Homer, start teleporting!" (To be continued......)
