398 The Ore Vein Dispute
(); Chang Ming lifted the middle-aged man up, glanced at the side where the battle was still ongoing, and turned around and walked away.
When he reached another hidden corner, he put the middle-aged man on the ground and said, "Now I will ask you to answer." If yes, blink your eyes, if not, blink twice. You can lie, but try not to be found out by me. If you find one, you'll have one part less, and if you find two, you'll have two less. If you're a trap, don't be afraid, you can change it anyway, right?"
Of course, the middle-aged man is not an institution, he is a real human being, and there are one or two parts missing on his body, that is, a permanent disability!
Chang Ming stared at him nonchalantly and said, "Now, you can blink." ”
The middle-aged man took two rapid breaths, and finally blinked his eyes.
Chang Ming's attitude is very understatement, and he will never speak harshly. But it was such a casual attitude that made the middle-aged man think of his identity all the time - he was not the only choice! In this way, he involuntarily became more nervous.
Chang Ming said: "Your actions have attracted the attention of Nanyang Prefecture. ”
The words that suddenly came out of his place made the middle-aged man's eyes widen instantly!
He knows who we are! Is it really premeditated, waiting for us here?!
Chang Ming touched his eyelids and said, "You didn't blink, didn't you want to blink?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and finally blinked.
Chang Ming smiled, no one could see that he was a little relieved.
He didn't really have a clue where these three people came from. But when you catch a captive, the most important thing to ask you like this is the first sentence. Knowing the bottom and not knowing at all are completely different situations for the other party. In the former, he will constantly guess what you know, and involuntarily reveal some information. If it was the latter, he would desperately find a way to hide what he knew.
Chang Ming seemed to ask quickly, but when he walked through the corridor with the middle-aged man before, his mind was already spinning wildly!
Where could these people have come from? Why did they get here?
He suddenly thought of a "rumor", which was one of the two three-star pieces of information he had obtained from the mercenary!
Some ** Mechanics have discovered a small vein of energy in the northeastern part of the Snow Cover Mountains, which is being secretly mined. Theoretically speaking, during this period of time, all the energy veins belonged to Nan Yang Zhou, and their actions had already attracted the attention of Nan Yang Zhou, resulting in some disputes!
Then, he thought of the few ore-grade energy nuclei that he had inadvertently obtained before.
It is impossible for the vein to exist alone, and it stands to reason that if you find a piece of ore-grade energy nucleus, it means that there are more around. Even if the quality varies, it can be found anyway. At that time, Chang Ming had an impulse to stay and continue to explore that vein, which was a big asset!
After that, although he didn't move, he kept thinking about it, and when he reached the crystal ruins and saw the stone pillar in the middle of the shaft, he had almost already made a judgment.
The shaft is named "Abandoned Mine Hall" on the map of the Crystal Ruins. It was the word "waste mine" that made Chang Ming realize that it was very likely that he was in a mine!
During the Lost Ages, there was a large vein here, so a shaft was built, which was then mined and abandoned.
It is in the same direction as the ore discovered by Chang Ming and the ore vein rumored by Samsung Intelligence, so it is very likely that it is the same big mine!
These were just vague and scattered ideas before, after all, there was a big problem in it - Chang Ming was directly teleported to this shaft, who knows how far the teleportation distance would be, and it would be guaranteed to be in the same place as the entrance?
After seeing these three people and catching the middle-aged man, these thoughts were linked in his mind, and he finally came to this conclusion.
Since it is very likely that the three places are the same vein, and these three people have strayed into the crystal ruins, then it is very likely that they are those mechanics in the intelligence, who are mining energy ore somewhere in the Snow Cover Mountains!
According to the rumors, what they found was a "small ore vein", which was likely to be a branch edge of a large ore vein, and if they dug it up, they would dig up the crystal ruins directly!
Combined with his own experience and related rumors, Chang Ming guessed this result. He was determined on the surface, but in fact, he asked tentatively, which really startled the middle-aged man, and after hesitating for a moment, he blinked, indicating that Chang Ming's guess was correct!
Moreover, Chang Ming also succeeded in startling the middle-aged man. He would never have thought that Chang Ming was just guessing, and he thought that Chang Ming knew something in advance. Knowing this in advance is deep...... What exactly is he trying to do here?
Could it be that he is from Nanyangzhou?
Chang Ming didn't seem to see the vigilance in his eyes, and since he guessed where they came from, the next question was easy to ask.
He continued to use this kind of superficial firm, but actually tentative questioning, and the middle-aged man became more and more suspicious in his heart, and he was unconsciously tricked by a large amount of information!
The middle-aged man was a member of a mercenary group of the Organ Division, and they came to the northeast corner of the Snow Cover Mountains, this "no man's land", first just to complete a mission.
In the course of their mission, they inadvertently enter a hole and find some energy ore in the hole.
It was a startling discovery, and after they had completed their mission, they ventured back to explore the place, and sure enough, they found a small vein!
The quality of the veins is mediocre, but it is a pleasant surprise for them. They estimated that the vein was worth more than 100 million gold coins, and that the price would double if more high-quality ore could be discovered.
With such a large vein, it is absolutely impossible for one person to eat it, so they did not have internal coaxing because of this. After inspecting the results, the leader among them suggested that mining the veins was a big deal, and that their ten-member mercenary group could not complete it, and they had to unite with some others.
These mechanics dare to break into no man's land, and all of them are veterans. They quickly judged that the leader was right. So they began to contact their friends and acquaintances, and finally gathered a team of 100 people to work together to mine this energy vein.
It is impossible for this kind of major event to be completely secret, and although they pay close attention to this aspect of the work, the rumors still flowed out and were known by the people of Nanyang Prefecture.
North Fuzhou is too big, and the people of South Yang only have the right to exploit resources for three years, and they try their best, but it is impossible for them to really monopolize all the energy veins in North Fuzhou. It stands to reason that even if this matter is known to them, if it is handled well, there will be no problem.
You can't even mine it yourself, and you can't let people pick it, what is this?
It was with this in mind that these mechanics were willing to join the group. After all, although the benefits are the best, the mining of energy veins also requires a lot of investment. In case money and resources are invested, but they are served by Nanyangzhou, it is really a stealing of chickens and rice.
As the saying goes, it's not the mighty enemies in the world that are feared, but the pig-like teammates.
The mining team has expanded from 10 to 100 people, and there must be a leader. This leader was the leader of the original ten-member mercenary group. This regiment leader is calm and sharp, and his communicative skills are also very strong, if he is a person, there will definitely be no problems.
But the problem is that he is not there.
After all, they are a mercenary group, and even if they have an energy vein, they can't smash their signboard. They still had some tasks left on them before, some of which they had not yet handed in, and some of which had not yet been done.
The task was not very difficult, so the regiment commander took two or three people out to get it done, and after finishing these things, he could throw himself into the mine with all his might.
In his absence, the responsibility of leadership was temporarily handed over to another senior organ master, who was very capable and was already close to the organ grand master. Mechanics have always been divided by ability and rank, this person is very capable, and others don't listen to him.
If no accidents happen, he will temporarily lead the remaining dozens of organ divisions, and until the leader returns, it will definitely be no problem.
At this moment, people from Nanyangzhou came over.
They are the victors of the last Organ War, and they have all the mining rights of North Fuzhou for the past three years, which is the right granted to them by the Organ Temple, and it is also the tacit rights and interests of everyone.
As mentioned earlier, Nanyangzhou is powerless about this vein, and they are only here to show their sense of existence and declare their rights and interests. In a way, this is also a way for them to get closer to the mechanics.
Hahaha, you've found a vein, you're in luck!
As you know, Nanyangzhou won the last organ war...... Ah, no problem, you continue to mine yours, we won't rob you!
Declaring rights, emphasizing ownership, and at the same time expressing the freedom of this right is a means of showing favors and selling favors.
After all, although Nanyang Prefecture is one of the three major states, the organ division has a special status in this world, and if he can sell a friendship, there may be some opportunities for cooperation at that time.
Such a logical thing would not work with that temporary leader.
Although this person is capable, his emotional intelligence is not high. I don't know what's going on, but the two sides quarreled while talking, but the more noisy it became, the more it got stiffer!
The people of Nanyangzhou left angrily, and when they left, they declared that they would apply to the temple to return ownership of this vein. The mechanic division was divided into two factions, one faction couldn't wait to find the original leader, wanting to rely on his wrist to solve this problem, and the people on the other side were angry with this low-EQ senior mechanic, thinking that this was just the opinion of a few people in Nanyangzhou. The agency war is about to start in a year, where do they have the time and energy to take care of such a trivial matter?
The opinions of the two sides are at odds, and in the end it comes down to one point-
In any case, the more you drive, the more you earn!
They intensified their excavation, and by accident, they dug through the tunnels and came to a wonderful place, which turned out to be a ruin—a crystal ruin, of course! )
