"Say hello to them, Marshall, after all, they've protected you more than once along the way." William stood in the dim light, and although Harley was a gold mine, the lighting inside was not so bright.

Marshall obediently ran to a large pair of entourages who were about to return, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he solemnly bowed deeply for them, and said, "Thank you for your help along the way!" ”

"......" As Marshall expected, the other party did not answer, and in her sight, there may be something hidden in those fiery eyes.

Crunch...... Crunch....... It's the sound of the soles of your feet crushing stones.

It seemed that someone walked towards Marshall, and according to the little girl's judgment, the other party's steps were light, and it could not be an ordinary rough man.

She raised her head and leveled her gaze, as the princess of a country, she was able to quickly turn her posture.

Is that the ...... Strange-looking uncle? has a beautiful Danfeng eyes, but adds a beard that does not match it at all......

He took two steps forward and stood quietly in front of Marshall, staring down.

"You, take care." The other party's voice was not half wavering, the same as before, almost cold.

She seemed to hear something, something that warmed her heart. But Marshall didn't want to poke it, and the other party definitely didn't want to poke it either.

"Thank you." Marshall blinked and smiled.

"It's not a joke." The man glared at her, but the corners of his lips were slightly upturned.

He didn't look back, but he beckoned his right hand backwards, and the right was something else.

This guy is weird...... The corners of Marshall's mouth turned up, raised his hand, and waved it a few times, which could be regarded as a silent farewell.

With a wave, Marshall turned his head and threw himself into his waist tiredly, without the posture of a princess at all.

She perfectly switched to the state of the youngest daughter's family, which was one of the few times she could receive such care after her father's death, perhaps only in this experience.

"We'll rest in the car for the night today, and tomorrow's mission will be to cross the mountain range in front of us." William yawned and continued, "Wait a minute, you and Chun will come to me, and I will tell you about the details of entering the Harley Gold Mine. ”

After all, today is a day of running, and the cars and horses are tiring, not to mention the people, and they can not stand the bumps of the fast rush.

Marshall leaned wearily on Chun's body, and she found that Chun's tail was similarly drooping down, with little strength.

The group had finished their supper first, and the three of them sat down on a large rock near the campfire in the starlight of the night sky, and William explained to them in detail the precautions of the gold mines in the Halley Mountains that they were about to enter.

"First of all, Marshall, and of course you orc retinue, you are not allowed to touch any gold, even if it falls at your feet." William tapped his collarbone lightly with his fingers, "Secondly, there is not a strong light in the mining area as you think, on the contrary, our presence will bring light to others. ”

Marshall was a little puzzled: "What does this mean?" ”

"Under normal circumstances, the miner's lights in the gold mining area are not turned on, which means that those hired to dig for gold work in extreme darkness." William's expression was flat, "We usually call these people the Lightless, because they don't see any light from beginning to end of the day. ”

"It's ....... What do you mean? "Marshall hasn't reacted yet, not even Chun.

I can't see the light all day long...... What kind of life is this!

"It's their own choice, becoming the Lightless One requires signing a complicated contract, and they will be able to do it for more than ten years, and they will not be able to get out. Of course, its remuneration is extremely rich. ”

"This ...... More than ten years...... You can't even go out! How can this be! Marshall was a little angry and clenched his fists, "They spend their time on such boring things, this is obviously a waste of time and life!" ”

William shook his head, his tone still unhurried: "They give a lot of money, do you know who is here?" They are all those who can't use magic, at an embarrassing age of around forty or fifty years old, old and young. ”

"What do you mean......" Marshall swallowed, "this is ...... What do you mean? ”

"The organizers of the gold mining area also thoughtfully provided a salary mailing service, which was written in advance in the contract." William pursed his lips, he now wondered if it was a little too early to say this to Marshall, "This money can even allow the family to live extremely comfortable, even luxurious." ”

"But! Those who are lightless! Their happiness too! ”

"The happiness of the family is their happiness." William looked meaningfully at Chun, who was honestly sitting next to Marshall, and for a moment, he saw that this simple wolf orc felt a little furious in his heart.

"It's so unfair!" Marshall exclaimed indignantly.

"It's their choice and we can't interfere. I'm going on," William interrupted Marshall's thoughts, "I need to be here to warn you solemnly not to have any kind of communication with those [Lightless], which is not allowed by the mine organizers. The wagons would be taken to the other end by the local staff, so we had to cross the entire mountain range in one day, not far, of course, and you could walk there with your physical strength. ”

"Uh-huh......" Marshall was a little tired, and leaned softly against Chun's side.

"And you, as Marshall's personal bodyguard, you must keep your employer safe at all times, because we cannot guarantee what the [Lightless] will do, I need you to hold your sword at all times, and you have the right to kill anyone who behaves badly."

"I ...... I know! I'll do it! Chun snorted, his tail bouncing up and down gently because of nervousness, "I'll keep Marshall safe!" ”

"Huh...... That's all I have to say. William immediately stood up and patted Chun on the shoulder, "Come on." ”

Chun's gaze couldn't help but turn to the side, the words that William had just said about the Lightless One were still echoing in his head.

I don't see the light of day all day...... It's been more than ten years....... How is this possible! If it's an orc...... There is a lot of money to be able to provide for the family......

Contradictory and complicated feelings spread unbridled in Chun's brain, so much so that he didn't even notice that Marshall was looking at him with a foolish look.

"Let's go." Marshall wanted to complain, but she couldn't bear it, so she grabbed Chun's strong arm and ran towards the makeshift tent.

The mountains in front of him were pitch black, and Marshall could only glimpse its appearance in the faint light of a nearby campfire. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to work there.

"Haru, what were you thinking just now?" Marshall lay beside Haru and gently stroked the wolf-orc's hairy belly with his hand.

"I'm just thinking about the Harley mine." Haru explained truthfully, because he didn't think it was a very important thing, "I heard that you can get a lot of money by working here. ”

"But you can't see anything...... Nothing can be seen here! Groping in the dark all day and all night for gold...... It's so painful! ”

Most of the [Lightless] who had been digging for gold in the Halley Mountains had left the mine at the end of their contract time, and when they left the mine, they found that they were blind. Immersion in solidified darkness for a long time is very damaging to the eyes.

"I know, but he can give a lot of money to his family...... Haru.

Marshall grabbed the stupid wolf's paw and pouted, "Are you going to work?" ”

"The orcs shouldn't be able to go......" Haru-chin smiled.

"Even if you can go, I won't allow you to go!" Marshall now commanded the wolf in the tone of Sister Spring, "Ten years! When you come out, how can you find a partner! ”

"Haha......" Haruharu scratched his head, ready to take it with a sneer.

"If you don't have money, you can make it again, if you don't have time, then you really don't have it, do something in your youth that you don't regret......"

"Oops...... Okay, okay, sleep, sleep. Chun was not ready to continue this topic, and immediately used his big hand to pull the little girl to his chest at once, "Don't think about it so much, I won't mine, don't worry." It's just a lot of money, right......."

"That's right, you still have your brother, how can you be worthy of him like this! And your own youth should be cherished......"

Although, his youth may only be imprisoned under Charlie's hands......

"Let's sleep...... Haru licked his lips and said softly, "I'll have to travel a long way tomorrow, and it's very hard." ”

"Well, don't think about anything, go to sleep." Marshall raised his eyebrows, and then buried himself in Chun's hairy chest, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Oh my God, it's so dark.

The stars disappeared.
