Chapter 41: Into the Mountain
"Wow! Your lord, you've made a fortune!" Cana looked at the golden light reflected on her face and pricked up her ears excitedly, "In just two days, you brought so much gold, ho! And a lot of boxes!"
I knew that the lord had a good way of making money and was generous to his subordinates, but I didn't expect him to be so rich and willing to give so much treasure to the silver dragon.
"Wherever the road leads, prosperity will come, this is a heavy responsibility, related to the agreement between our territory and the silver dragon, so we must find the most reliable and powerful guardian." Vincent pointed to a large pile of boxes and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please send this gold into the mountains, and you must be on time."
Cana didn't position herself as a horse pulling a cart, but it was a rare honor to be able to transport such important gold for the lord, and to be on such a magical path, and there was no reason to excuse herself.
Truth be told, she hadn't pulled such a heavy piece of gold yet, and this amazing experience was worth trying.
So, the cart personally transported by the Knight of Chinan, loaded with gold nuggets, escorted by the army of the brigade's territory, entered the mountain along the Silver Dragon Avenue.
Although the centaur riders were saddled with special saddles, and each of them had a fifty-pound burden behind them, they were still in good spirits and ready for battle.
On the road, every ten miles of travel, the people and horses will make an exchange, let the sisters who did not pull the cart as an escort before pull the cart, and the people who pull the cart and climb the mountain will rest a little, which makes the march a lot easier.
Harpys with lords flying overhead can condescendingly observe their surroundings and prevent accidents from happening on the cliffs.
The skeleton soldiers were a little unable to keep up with the speed of these four-legged warriors, so the operation was accompanied by the militia of the Volunteers, who stood guard on the side of the road along the way, and provided spring water and food for the centaur knights.
The whole process was well organized, because after the lord Ninia got the news from the lord, everything had already been arranged very well, and she did not allow any accidents in this operation.
She had sent people back and forth many times, and although there were no forks in the road, she still asked her subordinates to put down road signs in the necessary places, and wrote various temporary names on them, such as "slope", "flat road", "depression", and other meaningless but practical names.
No matter how big or small, and try to be considerate, this may be the delicate heart unique to women, Vincent, who walks on the road himself, knows this very well.
There may be more specific repairs to be made in the future, but the road is already very satisfying.
At the same time, he also learned from Jana that the pursuit in the mine is not completely over, but there should be no suspense.
The bandits who were able to escape into the mine were in the minority, but there was discord among them.
Terran bandits who were unfamiliar with the structure of the mines were a minority, and they were quickly dumped by the dwarves and left to fend for themselves.
The organization within the gang has completely collapsed after Iwasaki has been beaten to slag, and the dwarves don't want a group of tall men who are not suitable for operating in the mines to hold back, which will only make it easier to catch.
It has to be said that the physiology of dwarves is really tailor-made for the mines - short people are suitable for burrowing, thick bodies have the strength to dig, beer bellies are hungry and thirsty, and even a thick beard can play a role in filtering dust.
The mine is the home of the dwarves, but for the Terrans, it is a cold, damp and dark demon cave, in which the dwarves can hide and hide, but the Terrans cannot see clearly and do not know the depths.
In the labyrinth that extends in all directions, getting lost is a trivial matter, and they may not even be able to find surrender.
The most fortunate thing is that the son of "Heavy Hammer" Demara has been found, which should have been an extremely troublesome matter, because once this important hostage is controlled, it will inevitably be a rat trap when it is rescued.
However, the bandits and cultists were still overconfident, and they thought that with the control of the demon fetus, Kalul would not dare to run away or commit suicide, and even if he was lost to the territorial army, it would be hopeless in the end, so they neglected to take care of him.
Unexpectedly, this important hostage, who has always been very well-behaved and obedient, has long been in secret
Unbeknownst to him, he had placed a large pile of hidden glowing devices in the cave, which contained the magic stones that he had hidden when making the Golem.
As the bandits forced him to move, the stones began to flicker after a while, so that no matter where they fled, the pursuers behind would bite their tails.
So even though the escape was very fast this time, the territorial army behind did not let go of these bandits, and chased them for a whole day, and finally blocked the group of fleeing bandits when they were about to get out of the hole.
"This guy has two more hits, but didn't the bandits use him to blackmail us in the end?" Vincent asked Jana, "If he dies, even if he is summoned by necromancy, the Golem's secret will not be recovered."
"Let me tell you, that dwarf is really not simple, he escaped on his own." Cana spoke eloquently about what had been circulating in the town in the past few days, "Not only that, but he also killed a few bandits."
"That's interesting," Vincent was a little surprised, "Didn't his father say that this kid didn't have any talent for fighting?"
"What so...... Just like your weapons, he has his own. It is said that at that time, the bandits brought a lot of unfinished golem parts, presumably they wanted to take them out to someone, but some of those parts were secretly transformed, and they turned into little golems, and suddenly attacked and knocked down the bandits guarding him."
"It's really good, I actually have this kind of skill and courage, it seems to be a talent." Vincent complimented, "The old chief has a good son."
The lord didn't expect that the old chief's son was really a genius, and it was estimated that when he made a golem for the bandits, he already had the idea of escaping, and began to prepare secretly.
The golem didn't run long before it went down, but Kalul ran back into the mines.
The bandits knew that there were pursuers behind them, and they didn't dare to turn around and chase them, but they still had hole cards.
The demon fetus is in the body, if there are no cultists, it won't take half a day, and the evil power can make him die.
However, Lord Vincent would not let Kaluel die, and the son of the leader was lucky to meet the witch Prani, who was able to purify the fetus.
Although he was also possessed by the cult's "demon fetus", he was purified by Plani and was out of danger of his life, and he no longer had to be forced by bandits to do things against his will.
Kalul confessed to his crime of aiding the bandits, knowing how much damage he had caused to the town, and he was willing to atone for his sin by allegiance to his lord.
Kalul has protection, but he is not a scholar like La Niña who studied in the High School of Magic, he is a real small-town problem-solver, and the key is that he is really strong in hands-on ability.
If he could really make a little golem, I have to say that this person must be a genius in mechanics and engineering.
Such a person is definitely of great use to the territory, at least the lord himself is very interested.
What is the future of being a golem, if you want to do it, you have to be a mecha!
