Chapter 9: An Unexpected Reunion
Dusk had arrived, the sky was getting darker, and the buildings in the town were dragging many long and short shadows under the light of the setting sun. This kind of environment where there is sunlight is very bright, and where there is no sunlight, it is very dark, which is very suitable for us to cover the actions of a comrade with a yellow name. It didn't take much effort and no NPCs to notice us, so we came to the place where Rasil had dug a tunnel.
……
"How dare you blatantly dig tunnels?! Are you crazy? I was a little frantically pointing to a warning sign that read "Road construction, passers-by please detour" and opened my mouth and sprayed at Rasil. He actually found a few stumps at random, pulled a few hemp ropes, hung a sign, and dug a big pit under the city wall, and occupied a large area of sidewalks. He hasn't been arrested by any chengguan team until now, and it's a miracle that he has been working until now.
"I'm already a senior miner, and I have a qualification certificate issued by the Divine Realm Miners' Association." Rasil pulled out a large pile of documents from his pocket and explained to me in a gushing voice, "You see, this is the land excavation permit issued to me by the Land Management Bureau of the White Elf Clan, with which I can dig at will on all the land except for the Royal District of the White Elf's main city and the Moon Temple; This is owned by the Grey Iron Dwarven Land Administration, and is mainly applied to the Azkaban Vein and Sisirati Vein under the Grey Iron Dwarven Territory, which is rich in silver, copper, tin, and a large amount of the most needed spell casting material for fire mages - Sulfur ......"
He actually began to introduce me to the knowledge of miners, it was really a first two big, I hurriedly stopped his bad momentum before he could get into a hurry, raised my hands and made a stop movement: "Stop! Stop! Stop! As for your theory, after we escape, find a safe place and listen to you, it's okay to talk about it for three days and three nights. Now let's take us into the tunnel you dug to see how it goes. ”
I don't know if it's because he's really obedient to me, the leader, or because of all the resonant aura on this "Arya's Needle Headband" on my head, I found that Rasil really obeyed me. As soon as I finished speaking, he closed his mouth in amusement, and quietly led Nepera and me into the tunnel he had dug.
I have to admit that Rasil is a veteran digger, and in such a short period of time, he dug a tunnel with a height of one person and a shoulder width of about 300 meters, and hung a few kerosene lamps on the walls on both sides of the tunnel at a moderate distance, so that the entire tunnel was well lit. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that he did it alone, and in real life, it would be impossible to have such progress by hiring a pipeline maintenance brigade to work for a week. So, a game is a game, and anything impossible can happen.
"That's not bad, you." I glanced at the great project, licked my lips and exclaimed.
"It's nothing. My master and I once dug an undersea tunnel from Bora to the Black Coast in the west in just one week. "However, due to the great earthquake under the sea, the tunnel is no longer there. ”
I don't know if he's bragging or telling the truth, it feels a little exaggerated. As we spoke, we had come to the end of the tunnel, where the yellow emerald vein Resil had spoken. It's not any veins in the ordinary sense, it's all places where you need to refine the stones to get the ores, and here there are all very pure yellow jadeite, which means that if you knock down a stone anywhere here, the five or six hundred gold coins will be in hand. What I saw was no longer a yellow jadeite vein, but a huge mountain of gold with no top visible.
I shouted excitedly, "I declare that this yellow jade vein is the private property of our 'Light and Shadow' mercenary group!" ”
…… What about the applause I was expecting? The audience was silent, and I only noticed that both Rasil and Nepera were looking at me with the eyes of a sick patient who had just escaped from a psychiatric hospital to the bustling streets of the metropolis.
Nepera walked over and reached out a hand and touched her forehead, then mine, looking puzzled.
Rasil asked with concern, "Boss, have you been playing for too long and need to go offline to rest for a while?" ”
"I don't have a fever!" I said angrily, "This is what we found out first, and of course it should be ours." ”
"Please don't use the word 'we' casually," Resier said unhurriedly, "it was 'I' who found out, thank you." ”
"Thank you!" Nepera said coldly.
"Yes!" My voice was raised, "Those who see have a share." Besides, I'm the head of the regiment, and you're a member of the regiment, right? Being in a team, we must always think about the team, have a sense of collective honor and a sense of overall situation. The collective interest always takes precedence over the individual interest. At a time when the Corps is in dire need of start-up funds, are you embarrassed to keep this public property for yourself? ”
"I ......" Rasil's immunity failed, and the resonance aura came into play again, and he immediately showed a dumb expression that he couldn't say if he was bitter, "Even if what you said is correct, but so many yellow jadeite ores, even if all our packages are emptied and used to pack, it is estimated that only a small part can be contained, so what about the rest?" ”
"Uh......" is to the point, and the first question we need now is how to convert this "fixed" asset into "liquid" money. Depressed, it's really a problem that people are poor, and people are even more troubled when they are rich.
"Shh......h ”
Strange sounds? Rasil and I immediately stopped arguing, and both pricked up our ears and listened carefully. It seemed to be a sound, very regular, as if some piece of metal was striking a stone or some other hard solid.
"It's supposed to be at the end of the tunnel." Nepera pressed her ear to the wall at the end of the tunnel, trying to make sure.
Rasil frowned: "This voice is so familiar, I must have heard it somewhere before, and more than once." ”
Really? I listened carefully to the voice, my mind spun rapidly, and gradually a clear concept emerged: "Damn, isn't this the sound of miners mining?" ”
"That's right!" Resier and Nepera exclaimed at the same time.
Before we could come to our senses, there was a "boom", and the wall at the end of the tunnel fell down towards us like a collapsed building. We dodged in a hurry, and we were able to dodge the sudden accident. The dusty, narrow tunnels were filled with choking yellow jadeite powder. After coughing for a long time, blowing away the killer of the lungs, we saw that the tunnel had been opened, and that there was a man behind the crumbling wall who was looking at us with the same surprise.
With a short figure and an exaggerated mustache stained with yellow jade powder, the identity of the dwarf was self-explanatory, and when I met the gnome's eyes, the dwarf and I both shouted in unison: "This is impossible! ”
You'd never guess who the dwarf was. Even I didn't expect my reunion with my flying pants to be so dramatic.
