Chapter 198: Changes in the Mining Area
Black Rock Lord, Blag Mine, the new kobold miners, human miners, and the original orc miners, they are working in the deep mines, and the newest ruler of the Black Rock Lord, Viscount Golden Rose, is still relatively generous, and they are now paid more than three times as much as in the past.
Of course, their current underground operation time has also been changed to eight hours a day, if someone completes the daily quota, as long as the additional ore is mined during this time period, it can be accumulated, and after a month, the amount of these accumulated ores will be rewarded with corresponding additional rewards, well, once this regulation is promulgated, the enthusiasm of the miners has increased greatly.
Deep in the mine, branch mines branched out from the main mine, and in one of the tunnels dug by a group of kobolds, several kobolds were arguing, "I think we should dig in a different direction, there is really less and less ore coming out here." ”
Another kobold objected: "There's no need, we've really dug less in the past two days, but who knows if there's a big vein waiting for us in front of us, and if we turn now, won't we miss it?"
The kobold who was the first to speak continued angrily: "But, keep digging, what if we still don't get anything?" Well, we haven't completed our quota in the past few days, if we hadn't gained a lot before, well, we wouldn't have had this month's 'perfect attendance award'!"
Hearing him say this, the kobold who had retorted to him before stopped talking, and finally, another kobold said: "In this case, we will still dig in this direction today, and if, in the evening, there is still not much to gain, we will change the direction tomorrow." ”
This opinion is very pertinent, after listening to these kobolds, they all agreed, of course, in order to be able to dig a little more before dark, they all consciously let go of their strength, desperately digging the soil and rocks in front of them.
Maybe it was the favor of God, half a day later, a kobold's mine hoe "ding" sound, as he pulled back the mine hoe, a piece of green ore the size of a human head was dug out by him, he shouted excitedly, several other kobolds all came around, together to inspect this piece of green ore, woo, this is a kind of ore they have never seen.
As kobolds who are born to mine, this is a common occurrence in the historical records of their clan, after all, under the deep earth, perhaps only the earth elementals know what secrets are hidden there.
However, for the kobolds who are also well-informed about ores, it is also a lucky rarity to encounter ores that they don't even know, and perhaps, their names can be recorded in the history of the clan along with this newly discovered mineral.
Not to mention, with this first piece of green ore, there will be a second and third pieces, so their motivation is even greater, and with the "ding bell ~ ding bell" of the mine hoe, they also dug out more green ore as they wished, until their mine cart was filled.
It's just that they haven't noticed that since the first piece of green ore was dug up, there was a trace of green breath diffusing in the dark cave, and this green breath was silently breathed into their lungs, and then little by little, from the inside out, they "polluted" them.
After the discovery of the new ore by the kobolds, the entire Bleg mine was a sensation, and the managers of the mine increased the exploration of the mine on the one hand, and sent samples of the new ore to the Nims Pass on the other, after all, there are many experienced ore experts there.
"If they were some kind of rare ore, hehe, all of us would have received a huge reward from the lord!" they forgot that in the depths of the earth, some ores are also very deadly "killers"!
"Our brothers are beautiful enough these days, look at the way those humans and orcs look at us, well, that's 'envy, jealousy and hate'!"
"No, although Viscount Golden Rose didn't discriminate against us and treated us very well, but, those humans and orcs who were mining with us, they didn't rely on their strength to bully us, and now, woo wang~ Our kobold are treated better, and they all came to slap us. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it, why are they talking to us? Haven't they taken a fancy to our ability to 'find ore'? Well, I think this vein of green ore is nearby, you see?"
"What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes blood-red? Isn't it, at this time, you're actually 'manic'? Woo Wang, don't bite me, woo woo, I'm going to fight back if I don't let go?"
If Lin Feng was here, he would definitely recognize that the kobold was not guilty of any "mania", he was simply "demonized", and he had become a "demonized puppet" who had no consciousness and only acted instinctively.
On this day, the mine managers did not wait for a single miner to climb out of the mine, and the people who were then sent underground to inquire about the situation were also gone.
Another day later, there was a riot in the ore dump, where the storekeepers and handymen attacked the convoy that was going to transport the ore, and then the creatures of the entire Bregg mine, humans, orcs, and kobolds, who had deep contact with the green ore, turned into monsters!
After the surviving miners in the mining area escaped from Bleg, they also reported what happened there to Lockland, who was sitting in the Night Castle, and he immediately sent the news back to Nanlin Island, well, Lin Feng has been staying on Nanlin Island during this time, and he is busy forming a mage legion directly under the Golden Rose Viscount.
At the same time, the sample of ore sent to the Nims Pass was also identified by a senior ore expert, who immediately had the ore sealed and copied his identification report in two copies, one back to the Bleg Mine and one to Lockland and to be transferred back to Nanlin Island to be presented to Viscount Golden Rose.
Unfortunately, his report was still a step late, the great changes in the Bleg mine had already taken place, and he could only remind Locklan again, "You must block Bleg, and you can't let the 'things' there escape! Otherwise, the entire Black Rock Territory will be in danger of destruction!"
"'Demonic Iron Ore'?Iron Ore Contaminated by Demonic Evil Energy?How could there be such a thing in Bleg?" Lin Feng said to Tylanya, "We have to go there, that ore expert also said that the 'pollution source' there is very dangerous, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible!"
