From a businessman's point of view, Lorana's biggest weakness is her lack of funds. The family has suffered a series of accidents, and money is needed everywhere, so she does not open up to Jupiter. Even the start-up capital in her hand came from the aristocratic classmate You Jiali. For a noble lady of this age, without fief income, it is not easy to accumulate ten gold coins with pocket money alone. Thankfully, so far, her plans are well underway.

Although doubling profits is already a big surprise in the eyes of ordinary businessmen, it is clear that Lolana's plan has only just begun. El didn't know the girl's true intentions, but he could see in her eyes a certain fanaticism that was hidden beneath her sense.

The kobolds dug through the entire Redstone Ridge caverns, constantly emerging from remote corners, but the mercenary team, replenished with a large number of arrows, managed to suppress them back this time and once again captured several of the main mine entrances.

After selling all the arrows, Lorana didn't continue to sell the food in the car. Instead, a sign was replaced, which read, in red letters: "Acquire kobold loot, starting at one silver coin per backpack!"

Kobolds live underground, love to dig holes, and have a natural love for all kinds of metals. Kobold diggers at the grassroots level of the tribal community usually carry a small backpack on their backs to collect ore from the underground. They are said to use a special method to absorb the essence of minerals and strengthen the scales on their bodies.

Even mercenaries who have dealt with kobolds know that their small backpacks contain ores, which can be sold as trophies to blacksmiths for a few coppers. As for the rest of the knowledge, only the professional books in the academy will record it, which is also the source of Lolana's confidence.

Kobolds are short in stature, and their backpacks are even smaller, and they can't hold a few pounds of ore in them. In the past, the poor and crazy guys might not let this oil and water go, but now it is clear that their heads are worth more money. Now that an effective method of killing has been found, the thought in everyone's head is to harvest as much as possible, and as for these heavy and invaluable trophies, they have become chicken ribs. Now someone actually buys it at a high price on the spot, which is really a good thing that cannot be sought.

As they took the silver coin they had just spent from Lolana's hand and looked at the girl's sunny smile, they couldn't help but feel ashamed of the malicious curse in their hearts just now. How could such a lovely girl be a black-hearted businessman?

"How could such a lovely girl be a black-hearted merchant? ”

In the woods on a hillside in the distance, Tony looks out at the popular pop-up shop, a playful smile on his lips.

"The kobolds that appeared this time are the most common kobold slaves who have migrated from the ground, and in addition to the most ordinary kobold slaves, there are currently kobold guards, slingers, and possibly shamans. Such a clan with a complete social structure will inevitably have a considerable amount of high-quality minerals in their hands, even rare minerals. But the mercenaries won't be able to discern its true value. ”

The three Wright standing beside him were red-faced by these words, but they couldn't refute it. At their level, apart from the fact that coins can separate gold, silver, and copper, they basically do not know the difference between metallic minerals.

"Sister Lolana Jupiter, the fifth-grade chief, has no aristocratic status but was recommended by Master Powell to be admitted to school, and her study direction is alchemy. However, compared to her talent in alchemy, she is more famous for her cheeky and black heart, and in the five years since she entered school, everyone who provoked her has fallen into calculations in a daze, and none of them have ended well. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Tony's mouth couldn't help twitching, scratching his head and laughing dryly: "Since Senior Sister wants to earn some pocket money, let's not bother." It's not a good thing if she thinks about it. ”

His jokes were unattended, and Vivian stood to the side, staring blankly, not knowing what she was thinking, as Tiana rummaged through the kobold's backpack under her feet with her head down.

"Well, Miss Tiana, I'll pay you an extra if you can take us around this woodland to the abandoned mine behind Redstone Ridge. Tony looked at Tiana's imageless looting behavior with some helplessness, although he knew that she was poor, but he didn't expect that this young lady was already poor and crazy.

Tiana nodded, no objection. The mercenary group has already suppressed the kobolds, and the situation will not change until at least until dark. As long as you remain cautious and careful, it shouldn't be a big problem to protect these two young masters.

She found a dirty pocket from the kobold's backpack, filled with metal projectiles the size of fingernails. Kobolds use these rough metal balls as ammunition for slingshots, which are also popular props for magicians. In addition to that, the reason why she crouched down was to avoid El's gaze. The girl, who once traveled in the forest with El for a while, is very aware of the perversion of Eyre's vision. Out of some unspeakable mind, she didn't want El to find out.

According to Tony's wishes, the group did not alarm the mercenary group, and the three mercenaries opened the way in front, and Tiana followed the noble siblings through the path through the forest to the abandoned mine behind the side of Redstone Ridge.

One hundred and twenty years ago, miners at Redstone Ridge discovered a branch vein here, but the mine was abandoned after a few decades of being exhausted due to low reserves. The cave here is not connected to the quarry, but there are traces of kobolds. Because the actual control area of the mercenary group has not yet been extended here, the kobold can be faintly seen coming in and out of the mine.

"Miss Tiana, could you please clean up the kobolds outside?" Tony said to Tiana with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, we won't go any further, and this time we will calculate the extra reward." ”

What a little imp who isn't cute at all!, Tiana muttered to herself. This aristocratic young man has a deep mind and knows the way of people's hearts. Under the promise and temptation step by step, he has unconsciously followed the path he arranged.

"I hope you can stop here, too, or we won't be able to get back to Istaron before dark. Tiana said coldly.

"I think the same as you. "If all goes well, we can have dinner together in the evening." ”

Watching Tiana walk towards the abandoned mine with the three mercenaries, Tony coughed and turned his head to look at Vivian, the expression on his face already solemn.

"Sister Vivian, do you think this place is suitable?"

"Suitable...... What's the matter?"

"That morning. Tony covered his face in pain, and the momentum he had just displayed vanished. Although the natural character of the girl has long been expected, there is still a sense of powerlessness when it comes into contact with it.

"In recent times, there has been an unusually large migration of the beasts of the forest, and now even the kobold tribes that live underground have migrated to the surface. I've been worrying these days about whether there is an unknown natural disaster coming beyond the plague in the north. ”

"Your suspicions are justified. Vivian blinked, as if recalling her memories of the morning, "So invite me to come here and use the power of my gods to find out the truth." ”

"The beast can't speak, but the kobold is a humanoid creature with intelligence. With Sister Vivian's abilities, she should be able to feel the whole consciousness of their race, and I wonder why they came here. Tony said in a deep voice.

"Recently, thanks to the hospitality, it is difficult to refuse, and our generation should repay it. The girl's mouth was half-literate, her bright purple eyes gradually widened, and an invisible coercion emanated from her.

The surrounding woods fell silent for a moment, the birds stopped chirping, and the leaves that were blown by the wind stopped swaying. Standing behind Vivian, Tony only felt a fiery and cold power pass through his body, slowly spreading outward with Vivian as the center. In the space where that power spreads, a faint purple color quietly permeates, covering every corner.

Vivian's figure became blurred in the purple, and she didn't make any movements, just her heart moved freely, creating this strange scene.

She looked down at her feet, and the purple in the air fell to the ground like flowing water, seeping into the dirt. Tony shuddered suddenly, and he felt a pair of eyes in the sky behind him look straight down, a sharp gaze piercing through his body, penetrating the ground beneath his feet, and peering deeper into the earth.

"I heard that the creatures of the underground were filled with trepidation. ”

Vivian's voice suddenly became empty and divine, and it went straight to Tony's mind.

"I see the nightmare in their hearts. The strata are cracking, volcanoes are erupting, and the dark races are at war. The land of survival has been scorched to the earth, and the ancient demonic beasts have slaughtered wantonly......"

"Looks like the underworld is even more troublesome than ours. Tony said with a wry smile on his face. There is no passage to the underground world near Isttalon, and to be on the safe side, after eliminating these kobolds, the mines of Redstone Ridge will be completely sealed.

"It's going to be an earthquake......"

"Uh...... What?" Tony, who was thinking about his next plan, didn't react for a moment, and when he looked up, he found that Vivian had picked up the corner of her skirt and ran quickly down the hill.

"Are you really a Holy Nun?" exclaimed Tony, trying to catch up with Vivian, but just as he stepped out of his legs, he sat on the ground. A violent tremor gushed up from the ground, and the entire Red Stone Ridge began to shake.
