――――――――――
The young duke did not give the rumors any time to spread, and immediately made the most effective decision.
That is, to go to the mine to find out, which is the most effective and direct way to eliminate rumors.
Gawain immediately stepped forward to stop it, he had gone inside to pick up Lancelot, and had spied a half of it.
Until the power of the dark shadow.
The Duke offered to go to the coal mine this time, isn't this putting himself in danger? How can this work?
"Who, whoever wants to go in with you, the man-eating demons in the mine will kill us all!" Charlotte immediately objected.
The orcs also whispered among themselves, and they also had a deep fear of the mines.
"After all, the so-called demons are just one side of your story, and even this Duke is not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Lin Ye ignored Gao Wen's dissuasion.
Although the pit is dangerous and unpredictable, since there is a family crest of the Black Fire family.
He'd have to go see it for himself anyway.
Even the scene of the Duke's Crusoe had been staged, and he had nothing to fear.
"Okay, since the Duke is not afraid, I will also go in with you, who will come with me?" asked the snake man cauliflower snake loudly.
Its call immediately won the response of dozens of orcs.
Charlotte's gang looked more and more ugly.
Things had gone beyond their expectations, and it was difficult for them to deal with this hateful little duke with orcs.
Not to mention taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
"In that case, how about the guys?" Lin Ye shifted his gaze to Charlotte's group.
Even if they have a hundred reluctances.
Such a situation cannot be rejected by them.
At Lin Ye's suggestion, a total of 31 people entered the mine this time.
Among them were 10 orcs, 10 on Charlotte's side, and he led another 10 soldiers.
Together, they went into the depths of the pit to find the so-called demon.
Gawain was going to go in personally, but Lin Ye signaled that he needed to take charge of the overall situation in the mine.
Lancelot is already injured, and without him, it's hard to guarantee that something unexpected won't happen.
"My lord, just bring this person in, not to mention whether anything strange will happen, once Charlotte is unfavorable to you......" Gawain was worried, and really did not agree with the Duke's decision.
"Don't worry, they don't have weapons in their hands, and the orcs are on my side, they can't make the climate, since the underground things are related to the Black Fire Family, I have to go there, if this place is not properly resolved, other mines will also be affected. ”
This is what Lin Ye is most worried about.
Once word spreads that something is in the mine, even if the other mines are still functioning.
There is no guarantee that no one will deliberately spread rumors and create chaos.
For an enclosed place like a mine, it's a breeding ground for fear.
Once the fear spreads, the mining industry he has worked so hard to run will be devastated.
Whatever the purpose.
He's going to have to make this trip!
"But my lord,......" Gawain was still not at ease about letting the young duke venture into the mines.
Even characters like Lancelot were wounded.
The little duke has no long skills, so it's too dangerous to go in like this!
"No, but, just do the order. Lin Ye lowered his voice.
By this time the soldiers had been selected and everything was ready.
"Let's go. He took the torch from the soldier and went to the mine first.
The snake man cauliflower snake followed with 10 orcs, and Charlotte's gang finally reluctantly walked in under the push of the orcs.
"Don't let anything happen!" Gawain prayed with his fists clenched outside the mine.
――――
The air inside the mine was a little damp and snaking down.
There were many shovels scattered on the ground.
There are wooden rails that have just been laid halfway through.
This is a mine tunnel designed by Lin Ye and Eight Feet, with a small minecart fixed to the top by wooden rails, and a lever and gear mounted underneath the minecart.
This is somewhat similar to a simplified version of a human-powered rail car.
It's just that the batch of steel has not yet been baked, and it can only be replaced by wooden rails.
However, this is a considerable increase in efficiency compared to the original method of transportation.
According to Lin Ye's plan, when the steel molds can be produced, railroad tracks will be laid in major mines.
The railroad tracks are directly connected to the major factories, and the iron ore and coal mines are transported to the mines for a short transit, and then directly to the iron furnaces of the major steel plants.
But to do so, you need to create an intricate transportation network.
It will take at least several years to do this.
The group walked into the mine for about ten minutes.
At this time, there was a screeching sound ahead.
"The devil is coming, run away!" Charlotte's expression changed suddenly, and she turned around to flee.
"It's just a swarm of bats, so don't be nervous. Lin Ye saw the group of bats flying over his head.
The cauliflower snake grabbed Charlotte's clothes, and the group continued on.
"How far is it from where you said the ghosts appeared?" asked Lin Ye holding a torch.
"Right in front of it, there's a big mine, about five minutes away. The cauliflower snake pointed to the roadway.
It was there at the time of the incident, if it weren't for Lancelot covering their retreat.
I'm afraid they'll all have to be explained here.
"Keep up. Lin Ye reminded.
A cold wind began to blow in the mine, and the wind gusted.
As they went deeper, the cold wind grew stronger.
It's to the point where you can roll up people's clothes.
"Right up ahead, that's where we met the ghost!" the cauliflower snake looked a little excited.
They took a few steps forward.
A wide pit is presented.
There are obvious traces of man-made chiseling in this pit.
It is square, with a length and width of more than 100 meters.
"Has anyone ever mined this mine in history?, but why hasn't there been any trace of it outside?, is it true that their purpose is not to mine coal, but somewhere else?"
But now the orcs and Charlotte and the others are very resistant.
After entering the pit, the intensity of this cold wind has risen to the extreme.
The howling wind blows in the face, making it unsteady to stand.
The torches flickered and flickered in the cold wind.
The light is dim.
It was accompanied by the sound of the wind blowing through the hollow holes and the whining of the wind.
"This is it, the ghost is coming out, it's coming to kill!" Charlotte began to speak incoherently.
But this time it wasn't that he was spreading rumors, it was that he was really scared.
Even his pants were wet.
"Ghost, I want to see what this ghost really is!" Lin Ye stared at the front with a dead gaze.
And he also captured the appearance of the ghost in Charlotte's mouth.
A dark shadow was moving along the wall, rapidly approaching them!(To be continued.) )
