Surdak arrived at the sheriff's office, and Andrew had just placed a large piece of roasted camel meat on the table, and then feasted on it with the ogre.

Aphrodite rarely dined with Andrew, believing that the Half-Elf Archer had such a youthful and beautiful face that had a lot to do with her daily diet, so she chose to eat the same food as Samira.

As a half-elf, Samira has usually resumed the elves' eating habits after becoming financially free.

She likes to have an apple in the morning, a fish for lunch, and basically fruit for dinner.

As soon as Surdak entered the restaurant, he saw Andrew and Gullitham roasting again early in the morning, while the two ladies sat across the table and nibbled on apples.

Luke sat quietly on the bench beside him, and Surdak didn't ask him if he had eaten, but cut a piece of camel meat with a knife and put it on a plate, and invited him to sit down at the table.

He poured himself a glass of water, sat down next to Luke, and asked him, "What are you looking for me for, and you want you to make a special trip back from the mines?" ”

Luke slice off a slice of camel meat, dip the sauce into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Duck, there are two kobold slaves on the other side of the mine who have found a sulfur cave upstream......"

Surdak was slightly stunned and said, "You mean that kobold slaves have discovered sulfur caves in the upper reaches of the lava river?" ”

"That's right, and there's a salamander in that mine......" Luke replied, trying to swallow a chunk of camel meat.

Before Luke could finish speaking, the ogre Gulitham suddenly stood up.

"Captain, let me go, I'm the best at dealing with those big guys!"

The ogre wiped his oily mouth with his big hand and said loudly.

Probably he's so excited now that his mind is full of salamanders.

"Sit down and eat your own!" Surdak commanded the ogre Gulitham.

Turning to Luke, he said, "Luke, you came back specifically for this purpose...... Tell us what you think? ”

Luke wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said: "We have conducted preliminary exploration at the entrance of the cave, the sulfur mine is very rich in resources, in addition to sulfur, there are also some spars in the mine, I am worried that there are salamanders in it, so I didn't let the kobold slaves go too deep, but I can come back this time and you can go together to see if you can develop that mine, the sulfur ore reserves in the mine are very rich!" ”

It turned out that Luke was worried that there were salamanders in the mine, so he didn't dare to explore the sulfur mine easily, so he ran back to bring reinforcements.

Surdak wasn't sure what the connection between this sulphur mine was the one he and Selena had discovered, and according to the location Luke said, it was probably not the same mine, but since the kobold slaves traveled uphill along the lava river and found the sulfur mines, it means that the sulfur ore near the brimstone river that was convenient to collect was probably mined, otherwise the kobold slaves wouldn't have gone that far.

Now that the sulphur ore trade is on the right track, and the large amount of income brought by the sulphur mine maintains the high cost of the infrastructure in the wall, Surdak feels that the sulphur mine must maintain a normal amount of sulphur mining.

"Good. We'll leave tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the mine together. Surdak then made a decision.

Seeing that Surdak readily agreed, Luke quickly got up from the table and said to Surdak:

"In that case, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning......"

With that, Luke turned around and left the police station.

……

Aphrodite, who was sitting across the table, heard Surdak say this, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say that after dealing with those robbers, you still have to go to the city of Highlandza?" ”

The succubus Aphrodite's complexion has been getting better and better recently, and even when he frowns, he is not disgusted, especially those eyes, as if he has some kind of spirituality.

Only then did Surdak remember that he still had to rush to the city of Hailanza to handle the funds of the security squadron, and this matter could not be delayed.

He hesitated for a moment before he said, "Luke must have discovered something, and I need to see it myself to understand!" ”

Then he said to Aphrodite: "Didn't I say that last time...... This time I will allow you to go to the city of Hylanza on your own, and I will show you the exact route, and you can stay at the inn near the square garden. When you arrive at the inn in the city of Highlandsa, inform me that if you can, summon me there, and I need to go to the Quartermaster and the Guard Barracks at the City Hall to get the funds for the security squadron. ”

Aphrodite didn't expect Surdak to agree so happily.

With a smile on his face and a look of eagerness, he said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll clean up and leave now!" ”

“……”

Surdak hesitated a little, and he gave Aphrodite a deep look.

"Don't worry, I won't get you in trouble, I promise!" Aphrodite hurriedly assured.

Surdak nodded and said:

"Okay, pay attention to safety all the way, avoid those magicians a little, don't do extreme things in case of conflict, and summon me if you can't handle it!"

"Got it!" Aphrodite heard the concern in Surdak's words, and her charming eyes revealed a hint of tenderness: "Hey, Dark, it feels good to be cared for. ”

For this kind of succubus who are born with a devilish body and an angelic face, 'charm' is their innate ability.

For a moment, Surdak suddenly felt that it was really not that important whether it was racial or not......

“……”

In the sea of spiritual consciousness, the two-faced four-armed demon god statue that contained all the stars in his body suddenly opened his eyes, and it felt like a holy beam of light had entered his sea of consciousness, making him wake up immediately in an instant.

Surdak said with a clear look in his eyes: "We are contractual partners, right! ”

"Yes, we are contractual partners!" Aphrodi squinted her eyes and said happily.

After breakfast, Aphrodite disguised herself as a young knight and rode a Guborian horse to the city of Highlandza alone.

……

The next day, Surdak rushed with Luke to the sulphur mines.

They were accompanied by a group of four-wheeled trucks from the village of Wall, who were going to bring back some of the sulphur ore that had been hoarded there.

In the afternoon, a cold north wind blew on the barren land, and the horses beneath Surdak neighed and refused to go any further.

This barren land was covered with more than a foot of volcanic ash, which was blown by the wind, and the wisps of ash that were twisted up flew in the wind, and even with a mask, seemed to pour into the mouth and nose.

Surdak was riding on horseback, and the fierce north wind swept through the volcanic ash and raised a cloud of dust, and countless ashes poured into his body along the collar and cuffs, making his body very uncomfortable, and these volcanic ash made people a little afraid to open their eyes.

Surdak raised his hand and asked the whole team to stop temporarily, he asked ten trucks to form a large circle, and when the wind and sand were built, the truck box was covered with tarpaulin, although the tarpaulin of the carriage still could not completely block the volcanic ash blown by the north wind, but people hid in the freight car, so they did not have to face the biting cold wind directly.

The wind rattled the tarpaulin, and Surdak settled everyone before he got into the crate.

In this case, it was not even possible to talk, and all of them were covered with thick scarves over their faces, curled up and quietly waiting for the wind to end.

The temperature became very low, and the volcanic ash on the ground covered all traces, and the ash was covered with a layer of crystal frost.

It took a day for the northerly winds to subside, and it took the convoy four and a half days to reach the sulphur mines, which would normally be a two-day journey.

And one of the Gurborai horses in the convoy was blinded by the great north wind, and when Surdak arrived at Puss Mountain, under this strong wind, a large area of volcanic rock was re-covered under the ash, and under these volcanic rocks, there were some lava rivers hidden.

If you're not careful, you'll break through a volcanic rock formation, and if you're a river of lava below, you'll be burned to ashes the moment you step into it.

Luckily, however, this did not happen to them, and when they arrived at the brimstone mines, they saw six hundred kobold slaves on both sides of a long lava river, carefully knocking down the sulfur crystals from the rock wall from the scorching heat of the river, and putting them in the back basket behind them.

The easiest mines to mine had been drained by kobold slaves, and now they had to be roped from lava rivers to harvest them, making them extremely difficult to mine.

No wonder Luke would rush back to Wall Village and insist on coming over himself.

Surdak pulled the face towel off his face and asked Luke, "Where is that sulphur mine?" ”

Luke pointed down the middle of the lava river and said, "Over there!" ”

Surdak squinted his eyes, and sure enough, it was not the same as the sulfur mine he had discovered.

Settling the coachmen of the four-wheeled carriage and giving them a momentary rest, Surdak and his vigilantes followed the undulating volcanic rocks on the edge of the lava river for a moment, and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain......
