Chapter VI Accidents

The hillside washed away by the torrential rain revealed a cave with some rubble scattered at the mouth of the cave, and the stones below the mountain should have come from here. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It looks like a channel. The Knight of York glanced at the prince and said incredulously, he had been here many times, and had not noticed it before.

Such a passage was not naturally formed, and it is clear that someone hastily sealed the hole with stones, and as time went on, layers of mud slowly spread around the hole, so that until today, no one has found a hole here.

The gravel at the entrance of the cave sealed the cave together, but it was washed away by a torrential rain, but why such a passage appeared in this kind of place, asked the workers, and the locals shook their heads and said that they didn't know what was going on, and the legends handed down by their ancestors only included dragons.

"No, Your Highness, we should not trespass in such a dangerous place. The Knight of York, seeing the prince's excited expression, decisively dissuaded him before he could speak.

"Mr. York, you need a little adventure once in a while. Leon patted him on the shoulder. Speaking of dangerous things, they have encountered fewer in the past two days, witches, thunderbolts, and mysterious creatures suspected to be dragons, I am afraid that some people will never encounter so many "dangerous" things in their lives.

Leon didn't want to risk his life either, the cave was so strange that he felt the need to figure it out.

The Knight of York knew that as long as the prince had an idea, it was difficult for anyone to change it, he could only obey orders, and it was his duty to protect the prince. It's just that the pressure of these days is too great, and he doesn't have much energy to bear the accidents that may arise during the adventure.

Soon, workers arrived with torches, and the group began to explore this unknown and mysterious passage.

At first, the passage was narrow enough to accommodate only one person, and the further back you go, the wider the passage became.

"What are these pieces of wood for?" said one of the workers who found something in front of him.

Leon walked up quickly and saw the passage as it was.

From here on, the caverns are supported by thick wooden bars, and the pillars not far apart are blackened with torches, each with one on top of it. Judging from the surface material, I don't know how many years it has been left.

"It's probably a mine. Leon smiled, and some books about the basic structure of the mine were similar to this.

If there is a cave, it means that there must be ore in it, whether it is iron or copper, and the price must be much higher than that of wood.

A vein will drive the local economy, for example, several cities and towns across the country are because of the development of local veins. If there is such a place in Ravenwood, how can it be obscure all the time?

Judging from these passages, the excavation time is by no means a year and a half. It's inconceivable that a large number of laborers have been working here for a long time, and then the news has been completely blocked for unknown reasons.

"Caves, but my family has lived here for hundreds of years, and I've never heard of a vein in Ravenwood. One worker questioned.

"Maybe it's been buried much longer. Leon didn't know that if it hadn't collapsed, this place would have been buried forever.

Since neither the worker nor his ancestors knew it, it means that the ore veins were excavated long before the town was founded. It is also possible that the founders of the town were laborers here, but for some reason it was not mentioned to future generations.

The group continued to walk, and soon found a cart, the body of which had been damaged, and the stones in the cart had fallen to the ground.

The light in the cave is getting weaker and weaker, Leon asked everyone to try to light the torches on both sides, but he didn't expect that something so old would burn at once, and the scene of the cave ** became clear.

"Your Highness, what if you do find an ore?" The Knight of York realized that sometimes adventures were not all bad, but occasionally good things could happen. But sometimes a good thing is not necessarily a good thing.

That's a good question. Leon knew what York meant.

York wasn't talking about what to do with the ore, but what to do with the trouble it caused when it was discovered.

In a remote country like Ravenwood, his stepmother is still not at ease, and will send someone to inspect every six months. If the ore is discovered, it will certainly not make it easy for Leon.

"In any case, we have four months before the next inspection. By that time, the town should have a different scene. "Leon is helpless, but that's what he has to deal with, so it's all the more important to seize the opportunity in front of him.

"Be careful. "With the shouts of the workers, the sound of a collapse was heard in front.

"What's wrong. Leon hurried over.

The beam here suddenly broke and fell, but fortunately it did not hit anyone, but the road was temporarily blocked.

Taking advantage of the time for the workers to clean up, York said again: "Your Highness, you know that the royal capital will be dissatisfied, don't you care?"

Leon shook his head: "York, it's been a year since you came to town, what do you think of here?"

"It's not easy. York thought about it, and that was perhaps the simplest way to put it.

"Yes, it's not good. All I did was hope to see the happy smiles on the faces of the townspeople. I know that Wang Du will even interfere in such a thing, but I can only fight with all means. "Leon understands that some things are unavoidable.

York didn't say anything more, but there was a strange feeling in his heart. As an illegitimate child, he obviously didn't do anything wrong, and even when he did something good, he would be splashed with dirty water by the people around him. To stand up and resist, he knew it would take a lot of courage and perseverance.

After a while, the road was cleared again, and the group walked more cautiously into the depths.

Later, we came across an intersection, so in order to avoid getting lost, one person was left to wait in place, and the rest of the people walked to the cave on the left.

Finally, we came to a wide field, and the whole area was full of ore. Several carts were found here, some mining tools were left on the ground, and some stones were pushed in the corners, which Lyon went to inspect and found to be iron ore.

For this part of the iron ore, Leon plans to sell part of it, and find someone to smelt it into iron ingots and then make weapons. The appearance of the mysterious creature last night made Leon realize the need to strengthen his armed forces. Of course, there will be more benefits from selling it as iron ingots.

"Your Highness, a pile of white bones was found in front of you. "Just as Lyon was planning to process iron ore, workers came running to report.

Scattered on the inside of the cavern were dozens of skeletons covered in cobwebs, which looked like children in size, and the clothes on the surface were so damaged that they could barely be seen to be those of laborers, each with a pickaxe in their hands.
