Wren and Leolina's guess was correct, and the information Barabba Smenko gave them was mostly accurate, except for the most crucial part, the cause of death of his right-hand man.

The biggest reason for his assistant's death was the greed of the copper mine owner.

Initially, the Faceless who founded the Ebony Order bought Ragnorin with money and promises of power after discovering the Dark Temple beneath the copper mines based on ancient texts, but soon the Faceless became worried and discovered that his collaborator was a gloomy, bigoted, and greedy dwarven mine owner.

In order to reserve a way out for himself, the Faceless One contacted dear Mr. Smenko and asked him to provide food and supplies for the Ebony Society.

However, what the Faceless One didn't expect was that Barabbas Smanko was even more greedy and arrogant than Ragnorin.

Not only did he sell low-quality food and tools to the Ebony Society at a high price, but he even blackmailed the Faceless to give him hush money on a regular basis, otherwise he would report everything that happened in the mines to the City Lord's Mansion and the various churches.

Unable to bear it, the Faceless Man decided to teach the greedy creature a lesson, and the next morning, after the negotiations were fruitless, the dear mine owner woke up to see the head of his right-hand man resting beside his pillow.

Based on this, Barabbas Smenko also hated the Ebony Society and the Faceless One, but because of the strong strength of the other party, he did not dare to take revenge openly.

The arrival of the three Wren gave him an excellent opportunity to deal with the Ebony Society and get rid of his competitors at the same time.

"Yes," Wren nodded, "for some reason, I had a feeling that it was going to be an extremely hard adventure. In order to prevent some people from turning their backs and denying others, some backhands must be prepared."

"Well, you summoned Shauna, I have something to do."

"Old man, I know your time is precious. Well, as long as you answer our questions, this Silver Lion Coin will be your reward."

"You!"

"That's too low, isn't it?" Leorina couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "According to the laws of the Bauhinia Alliance, the daily salary for heavy physical work like a miner must not be less than 5 Silver Lion Coins."

Speaking of this, his tone was full of resentment, obviously hating this iron rooster boss.

"Strangers?"

These three thin metal plates, in addition to the names of the three people (pseudonyms) are engraved with the signatures of Barabba Smenko.

Before she could finish speaking, Leolina's face changed, and she glanced at Miss Ranger and motioned for her to be silenced.

Two hours later, two guards guarding the gate of the mine glanced at the metal piece and slowly pulled the heavy iron door open.

…………

Early the next morning, the three of them got up early and came to the gate of the manor, and at this time, the housekeeper of the manor was already waiting there.

"Thank you for your cooperation, this is what you deserve."

"I heard Mr. Barabbas say that in the depths of this mine, His Excellency Ragnorin seems to have found something good?"

Angelica blinked, snapping her fingers and counting.

"Seems to be the case...... Let me think about it." The old miner thought for a moment before he said, "Deep in the mining area, there seems to be some impressions. By the way, the ragnorin guy cordoned off the depths of the mine and told us that he wanted to discover new deposits in the depths of the mine in order to expand the size and volume of the entire mine.

….

At a fork in the road, the old miner stopped.

Standing in front of the tunnel, Wren shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Me?"

After asking the old miner how to get to the fork in the road, the female mage handed the silver lion coin into the other party's hands.

"Along the way, I found that His Excellency Ragnorin has extremely poor management of the entire mining area, according to the Bauhinia Safety Construction Regulations, the mine tunnels in the mine area should be hung with torches every fifteen meters for lighting, and at least half of the torches in the mine tunnels I passed through have been completely burned or discarded."

"Nonsense, doesn't it have the signature of His Excellency Simenko? You think we're as illiterate as you are!"

It's just that the font is too rough......

Angelica scolded indignantly.

"Angelica, it's up to you next."

"I prepared it last night. You let Shauna take it with you, and then fly outside the pit and wait for news from us. If something happens to our side, let it notify the City Lord's Mansion or the church, and ask them to send someone to help quickly."

Angelica pointed to her nose.

Looking at the figure of the old miner gradually disappearing in the mine, Wren whispered:

"It seems that both the Ebony Society and the Faceless One, as long as they find that new mine, everything will fall into place."

It was a completely new mine, and Lagnalin had installed a lift there to connect to the old one, something the miners knew. However, the guy didn't seem to want us to get close there, so he not only had the guards set up warning signs along the way, but also boarded the fork to the elevator with thick planks!"

Listening to the old miner's words, Wren thought secretly in his heart.

"Someone's coming!"

"Next, there are three more questions."

When he saw Ren and the others standing in front of the tunnel, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

As he spoke, Wren looked at Miss Ranger.

What easier job could be?

Thinking of this, the disabled old miner felt more and more that the three of them looked pleasing to the eye.

"The Vandalin Mine was entered by Wren himself, and the Dragon Witch Cult's Dragon Breeding Ground was also built underground, and this Ebony ......

"A mining expert who came here from Van Lin? I'm willing to bet a Silver Lion that these people weren't invited by Lord Ragnorin."

"Huh? I think so, eh!"

"These two bastards are even more vampires than vampires!"

"So, I would like to take the liberty of asking, what is the salary for your work here?"

"Three, this is the identity document that Your Excellency Simenko has prepared for you, with which you can freely enter and exit the entire mining area, and the guards inside will not stop you."

The female mage said in a deep voice.

"We are experts who have been hired to inspect the veins. Old man, can you tell us a little bit about the copper mine?" Wren asked with a smile.

Leolina handed the silver lion coin in her hand to the old miner, then took out another silver lion coin and shook it gently in front of the other party.

Led by the old miners, the three of them soon came to the depths of the mining area.

….

Wren said as he pulled out a piece of paper from his dimensional pouch.

"Even if you are literate, what if you are not as struggling to watch the gate as I am?"

In a matter of seconds, a lame old man with a pickaxe slowly walked out of the tunnel.

The old miner who got paid suddenly smiled, you know, in normal times, this silver lion coin requires him to work hard for half a day to earn, but now he only needs to move his mouth and tell these foreign experts some things that are well known to the miners, and he can easily earn it.

Of course, he also wanted to get rid of these three uninvited little guys by the way.

"2 silver lion coins a day, including food and lodging." The old miner muffled, "That's the second problem."

"So......" said the old miner, spreading his hands, helplessly and sadly, "most of the people who work here are people who have been punished as coolies for their crimes, except for those of us who have no other jobs. Barabbas, another copper miner, used his connections to get them out of prison with a little bribe. The normal miners, as long as they earn enough money here to find work elsewhere, quit their jobs."

When he saw the silver-glowing coin in Leorina's palm, the old miner's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

Just in Wren the trio against Barra

While Ba Smenko was secretly raising his vigilance, the mine owner also began to arrange a follow-up with the help of his own connections.

There are some discrepancies with what Barabbas said, but maybe it is Ragnorin's claim to the outside world, what is the situation, you will naturally know when you get there.

As a former wanderer, he also has a good network in the Thieves' Guild, and hiring a few mid-level killers is just a piece of cake for him.

"But before we go, I think we need to prepare some back-ups."

"That's pretty much it here, ask."

"For the sake of Lady Fortune, I would like to tell you what I know, but only three questions. If you want to ask more, you need to add another Silver Lion. Come on, come with me, this is not the place to talk."

If you can't beat it, please send reinforcements.

Angelica asked curiously.

Speaking of Ragnorin Shenshi, the old miner couldn't help but snort coldly:

"Hmph, that's a guy who doesn't pull out a dime and is stingy to the extreme. In order to save money, he was not willing to spend a lot of money to make the mine tunnels brighter, forcing us miners to bring our own torches and lanterns to work. Half of our meagre salary is spent on this!"

The other party glanced Ren up and down, snorted coldly, and was about to walk past the holy warrior.

As he spoke, the butler handed over three palm-sized pieces of metal to the three of Wren.

"I really didn't expect that in less than a month, this is the third time I've drilled into the ground."

Wren asked tentatively.

"Well, it looks like that's where we're going to end up."

Wren said with a frown.

This is Wren's most simple thought.

When it comes to fighting evil, the holy warriors under the command of the good god are naturally on the same front.

The conversation of the guards faded into obscurity, and the three of them soon came to the deep tunnels of the mine.

He looked left and right, and then said in a low voice:

Therefore, there is no shame in asking for foreign help, for Rennes.

"Since you're ready, Wren, I won't bother my fellow disciples."

The female mage covered her mouth and laughed.

Angelica was stunned, only to realize that her biggest role seemed to be to summon Shauna and let her summon reinforcements when the situation was wrong......
