The evening lasted from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., during which the bureaucrats of the Doge's Palace, at the suggestion of Secretary General Rastigne, frequently clinked glasses with the group of geologists in the light of candles.

By the end of the party, none of the geologists could stand upright, and all of them sat down in their chairs, their faces slightly flushed, and if they were touched with their hands, they could feel a little hot.

Rastigne smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at the group of geologists in front of him, who had no image, and turned to Jérôme. Governor Patterson said, "Your Excellency, they are all drunk! ”

Jérôme. Governor Patterson looked at the geologist in front of him with a slightly complicated expression, and couldn't help but ask Rastigne, "Rastigne, do we have to use this method?" ”

"Governor, we have to do it this way!" "If we don't, they'll flee here as soon as they've finished surveying!"

Your Excellency the Governor, few people would want to stay in this hellish place!

If we don't use some means, it's probably going to be hard for them to stay here! ”

"But ......," Jérôme. Patterson remained hesitant.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is also for the Governor's Palace!" Secretary General Rastigne to Jérôme. Patterson responded.

This sentence is like crushing Jérôme. Patterson's Last Straw, Jérôme. Patterson exhaled and looked at Rastigne steadfastly, "Just do as you say!" ”

Get Jérôme. A smile appeared on the face of Patterson's authorized Rastigne, and he hurriedly ordered his servants to bring the contents of his office desk, and by the way, the pen and ink.

The servants followed Rastigne's orders and quickly moved into action, and soon found everything for Rastigne.

Rastigne looked at the agreement he had drafted in his hand, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he silently muttered in his heart: Don't blame me!

He then woke up the geologists in turn and asked them to sign the agreement.

The geologists of the Lost Lake couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality, and they asked Rastigne to let them continue to rest.

"Sign! Once you've signed it, you're ready to rest! Rastigne was confused.

"Signed...... Can you rest?" The geologist burps and drunkenly asks Rastigne.

"Of course!" Rastigne said thoughtfully.

"That's good! I'll sign! The drunken geologists didn't care what the agreement was, and they picked up their pens and scribbled their names on it.

"Alright...... Such...... That's it! Belch! I can...... Rested...... Let's do it! After writing it, the geologist said in a daze.

"Absolutely!" Rastigne looked at the crooked signature, a satisfied smile on his face.

With this signature, he is not afraid of these guys running away.

As long as they dared to escape, Rastigne took the agreement to the Supreme Court to fight the case.

When the time comes, let them walk around without eating.

Of course, based on what Rastigne knew about these people, they didn't dare to go to court with him.

A group of graduates who have just come out of college and a teacher who stays in school, where is his opponent.

"That's it!" Rastigne waved his hand to the servant beside him, "You two in a group and carry them back to the room!" ”

"Yes!" The servants obeyed Rastigne's orders, and the geologists were picked up in a team of two.

Two of the geologists vomited directly in the hall because of the problem of walking bumpy.

Jérôme. Patterson's face immediately showed an ugly expression, and Rastigne's face did not change in the slightest.

Instead, he calmly ordered the servant to bring the cleaning tools, and he cleaned up the vomit himself.

……

The drunken geologists didn't wake up until noon the next day, shaking their heads with splitting headaches and remembering what had happened last night.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and the geologists asked the visitors outside in unison.

"Experts, it's almost time for lunch! Secretary-General Rastigne: I asked you to come over for lunch! The servant outside the door replied to the geologist in the room: "Secretary General Rastigne also said, wait until after lunch!" He will personally accompany you to the mine! ”

The geologists in the room all had surprised expressions on their faces, they had never imagined that they would be put to work so quickly.

One of the geologists exclaimed, "Good morning! Good morning! If we had gone earlier, we would have been able to go back earlier! Guys, you don't want to stay in this place forever! ”

After listening to this, the surrounding geologists all had affirmative expressions on their faces.

Although Libreville's construction is not too bad, it is still a far cry compared to Paris.

This made them, accustomed to Paris, unable to adapt to life in Libreville at all.

Not to mention the fact that Libreville has a variety of diseases, which makes them even more reluctant to stay here for a long time.

It's just that they don't know that they have no way to go back, unless they want to return to Paris with the prosecution!

"Okay! We got it! ”

The geologists shoeed up and went out with great swift submission, and were led by the servants of the Doge's Mansion to the dining room.

At this time there was only Jérôme in the restaurant. Patterson and Rastigne were there, and when the geologist saw the two sitting at the table, he said to them in a respectful tone: "Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Secretary-General! ”

"Come here!" Jérôme. Governor Patterson smiled and beckoned to them, and the geologists sat down.

After everyone had been trained, Jérôme. Patterson ordered the servants to start serving.

The servants brought all the dishes, including caviar, mutton soup, and some sea stuff.

Although there are not as many types of dishes as last night, it is enough for them to eat.

Geologist to Jérôme. Patterson expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Patterson then asked if they would like to drink some wine.

Geologists have rejected Jérôme. Patterson's suggestion, Jérôme. Patterson said to everyone present: "Since you don't want to drink, forget it!"

We'll have a chance to drink it later! ”

"That's right! What we will have in the future is the opportunity to drink! Secretary-General Rastigne echoed the same sentiments.

When the geologists heard this, there was a hint of resistance on their faces, and they didn't want to stay in this ghost place.

Jérôme. Paterson sensed the resistance on the geologist's face, and he knew that these people didn't want to stay here at all, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart that he had listened to Rastigne yesterday.

"Eat! Dine! "Jérôme. Patterson pointed to the plate in front of him and said to everyone present.

The crowd began to feast, and the whole lunch was over in just an hour.

Well-fed geologists began when Rastigne departed.

Rastigne opened his mouth and said to the geologist: "We can go now!" ”

"That's good! Start early, come back early!

The geologist said with a pun.

"That's right!" Rastigne's face also showed a false expression to the crowd present.

The geologist and Rastigne, as the carriage, left the Doge's palace and stopped at the pier at the port.

At the port docks, Rastigne summoned a steam-gunboat, which was one of only a few naval vessels in the whole of Libreville, at great speed.

The crowd boarded the ship in order under Rastigne's instructions.

The gunboat started slowly, and then headed south, and in only half an hour, it was already at the mouth of the Ornway River.

After another two hours, we finally reached the vicinity of the Ntua tribe.

At this time, the old chief of the Ntuaya tribe was leading the soldiers of the tribe, standing on the shore and waiting for Rastigne and the others to appear. (Rastigne sent someone to inform the Ntua tribe yesterday and asked them to come and greet them)

After Rastigne and the others disembarked, the chief of the Ntuaya tribe looked at Rastigne and his party with an eager expression.

"Welcome! Honored guests of the Doge's Palace! The old chief said in a respectful tone to all the people present.

Rastigne simply "en" for a moment, and then said in a surging voice: "These are guests from France, and they are going to the mines!" ”

"We get it!" The old chief of the Ntuaya tribe pointed to the simple modified carriage behind him and said to Rastigne and the others: "Please also invite your guests to sit on it!" ”

"Come on! If you don't want to walk over! Rastigne said to the crowd, and the first one sat inside.

The rest of the people also sat in the carriage after seeing that Secretary General Rastigne had entered.

The old chief immediately said to the villagers who were driving the horses: "Let's go! ”

The villagers immediately set off, and the tribal soldiers with muskets on their backs gathered around the wagon followed it.

The old chief looked at the fading back and was silent.

Bongo standing aside. Puzzled, Ntua asked his grandfather why he didn't have a relationship with Secretary General Rastigne!

"There's no hurry!" The old chief shook his head at Bongo. Ntuya said, "We'll meet him again anyway!" ”

After a bumpy journey of almost three hours, the carriage finally arrived at the open-pit mine before nightfall.

Rastigne, who got off the carriage, thanked them with a gesture, and the Ntuadian tribe left.

Rastigne with geologists under the leadership of soldiers near the mine, Andrea. Milanovic also appeared.

"Secretary General Rastigne, I'm late! Thank you for your understanding! "Andrey. Milanovic said with a slight dishevelled dress.

Rastigne immediately understood, Andre. Milanovic may be working on a wholesome job, but I don't know if he's done.

However, Andrey. Milanovic's ability to attack the women of the land here does give Rastigne some admiration.

What a heavy flavor you have to get your hands on!

With a hint of admiration, Rastigne shook his head at Andrea. Milanovic said, "Nothing! ”
