On the 4th of October, Hopps arrived in Pyroxenstone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Without resting, he got out of the carriage and went straight to the mining hall next to the town hall.

Although it was still early, he felt that it would not be a bad thing to report early.

The official name of the Mining Hall is the "Ministry of Mines of the Northwest Republic", and the reason why it is located in Pyroxene City rather than Void City is due to the fact that mining efforts in the Northwest Republic are mainly concentrated in Pyroxene City and Gold Rush City, as well as several small villages and towns nearby.

The closer the distance, the more efficient the processing work will be. As for the connection with Void City, you can leave it to the messenger if you are not in a hurry, and you can use magic when you are in a hurry.

The three-story building was not very tall, but it was square, like a stone carved into a cube, and Hopus entered through the gate, showed his ID card and appointment directly to the staff in charge of reception, and asked how to go through the registration procedures.

"Turn left on the second floor and turn the second door. The middle-aged aunt, who smiled kindly, said, "There is no sign on the door, but it should not be closed all day long." ”

Hopes thanked him and went upstairs to the room.

There were two people in the room, a young man with long black hair who looked a little boyish and girly looking at him with some wariness, and an old man with half gray hair looking at him with a smile.

"Report! I'm Hoppers, an exploration worker, and I'm on an assignment to go to the Gold Coin Federation to participate in a cooperative prospecting project. ”

"Oh, I see. The old man smiled and nodded, and the young man's eyes quickly softened.

After showing his ID card and the appointment, the old man took out a document and gave him a detailed description of the matter.

Roughly similar to what Cambrona had heard, the Republic had undertaken this project in order to strengthen its cooperation with the Merchant faction of the Gold Coin Federation.

Of course, there are tangible benefits to this project. The joint exploration area is a mountain range located in the northern part of the Gold Coin Federation, about three hundred miles from the nearest city, and the nearest large supply point is a small village with a total of more than sixty people, and it will take about two days to reach the exploration team's camp from the village.

In the vicinity of that camp, a group of adventurers once discovered silver ore. They sold the news to the chamber of commerce in the nearby city, and the chamber of commerce reported it to the higher chambers of commerce - to develop such veins away from the populated area, it was necessary to have considerable strength.

Reporting the matter to the Great Chamber of Commerce is almost equivalent to reporting it to the entire merchant faction. Therefore, when discussing the strengthening of exchanges and cooperation with the Northwest Republic, the big chamber of commerce told the matter of this vein and planned to engage in a joint exploration.

Of course, this is also because the exploration work is indeed not easy, otherwise, the big chamber of commerce would have already done it by itself.

Hopps listened to the presentation, and then asked himself what worries him most: risk.

"Risk? Of course there is. The old man smiled and said, "But in life, how can there be no risk at all? In contrast, as long as the risk is within a controllable range, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"You're young, and you're in good shape. If you don't work hard now, at my age, even if you want to work hard!"

He spoke slowly, but there was a convincing appeal in his tone, and Hopes couldn't help but laugh when he said it.

After laughing, the registration process began.

The young man in charge of the registration was very careful and asked about Hopes in detail, especially about Hopps's last name several times.

"From the Orc Empire, from a declining aristocratic family......" The young man shook his head, "This is just your identity on the surface, tell me your true origin, don't worry, we won't reveal it." ”

Hopps smiled bitterly twice and answered honestly.

Since the other party promised not to leak it, then he naturally did not need to keep it secret. It would be silly to raise suspicion for some worthless news.

"My name is true, but my origins are a bit wrong. He said, "I do come from the Orc Empire, but not from the declining aristocracy, but from the Wilder family of the Fox Clan, my father is a grandson of the current patriarch, and my mother is a princess of the Rabbit Clan." ”

"Sure enough!" the young man smiled sincerely this time, "you're the half-breed who was declared sick and dead by the Wilders shortly after birth, aren't you?"

"That's right. Hopps replied with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, no one here will discriminate against you!" said the young man with a smile, "Whoever dares to discriminate against you, you will come to us." I'm Klito, director of the Centre for Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Hunting and Animal Husbandry Resources, and I'm the Minister of Mines, Raif Kawat. ”

Hopps was taken aback, but he didn't expect that it would be two big people who received him.

The bureaucratic system in the Northwest Republic is a little chaotic, but there is a general rule - the one who is in charge of a large task alone is the archon.

Mr. Cavat, the Minister of Mines, Hopps knows, this is the first generation of miners in the Republic, and he was already the Grand Consul when he presided over the construction of the negative energy magic crystal vein. He hadn't heard of the director of the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery, Hunting, Animal Husbandry Resources Management Center, but judging from the affairs he managed, he was one of the most senior consuls, if not the archons.

Seeing that he was a little nervous, Director Clito smiled and poured him a cup of tea. The tea was sweet and grassy, and after Hopus drank a cup, his mood calmed down a lot, and he explained his origin in detail.

In fact, there is really nothing to say about his origins, it is nothing more than that he has been discriminated against, and then gradually he can't stay in the family anymore, so he has to leave - that's pretty much it.

Minister Cavat sighed as Director Klito shook his head. When he finished speaking, the high-ranking officials of the two republics were warmly relieved, telling him not to mind the past and to work and live with peace of mind.

"The Republic is your home, and the Ministry of Mines is your home!" said Minister Kawat, "and no one dares to bully you here!"

"Whoever dare, I'll strangle him!" said Director Clito viciously.

Just then, another prospector who had received the order also came to report, so Hops took the certificate from Minister Cavat and left.

After the work was over, Reif and Klito talked about Hopps again.

"What a pitiful boy!" said Reive, "it is not easy to experience the hardships of life at such a young age!"

"But his qualifications are really good. "I feel that he has both fighting spirit and magic in him, and he is a rare all-rounder." ”

"Hey, he's a good prospector, don't kidnap him and be an adventurer!"

"No, I'm going to train him to be an adventurer. Clito smiled and said, "A powerful adventurer who walks between mountains and rivers in search of all kinds of minerals lives up to his talent." ”

"When are you going to tell him?"

"There's no rush. Clito smiled, "Anyway, I will participate in this joint exploration." What we have is time to talk slowly......" (To be continued.) )
