55. Slaves in the coal mines
Campbell glared at the minotaur and said, "I've never lied to you. ”
"You said you took us out and made a fortune!"
The kobold answered, "Isn't that a lie to us? ”
"Get rich!"
Campbell suddenly remembered something, hurried after Charolle, and shouted, "We shouldn't have just let the earl go, he has to pay the ransom, and we should have agreed!"
At least a few thousand coins! ”
"Brother, we're running for our lives!
Escape!
Safety first! ”
"The more time we waste, the more dangerous we become."
You say, do you want money, or do you want death. ”
"Of course I want to live."
Campbell said without hesitation.
Charelle turned to Delphi, "Aren't you afraid of losing your life with us?"
So confident in us? ”
It's not scientific!
Delphi held his head high and said, "I'm a slave with status!" ”
Charol asked, puzzled, "What is your status as a slave?" ”
Delphi laughed, "Every slave has an identity tag that means we are Earl Cole's slaves. If I were to be captured by humans in the territory of Duke Lavoisier, I would be held hostage by you.
In the Morin Empire, the private property of the nobles is sacrosanct, and when the time comes, they will still send me back to Count Cole. ”
"You're really a talent......
Charol snorted coldly, "If you tell me so much truth, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
Delphi sneered, "You have come all the way from Salo City, and the surrounding people are rumored to have a team of orcs who are as timid as goblins, and they all walk around the villages where they see humans, and they dare not kill even a single human. ”
"And then you, Earl of Cole, are so confident that we think our knives are ornaments?"
Charol was helpless.
Delphi laughed, "Actually, even if you captured him, you didn't kill him.
So, you're not going to kill me, are you? ”
"Of course I won't kill you, I want to hit you."
Charell slapped him in the face.
Delphi screamed in an exaggerated tone, and then said, "Mr. Charol, you don't look like an orc. ”
"And what am I like?"
Charelle asked.
Delphi said, "I've seen many orcs, and none like you. ”
"A bunch of nonsense."
Charol herself couldn't help but lament that banana people are not easy to do.
In the dense forest, everyone went all the way.
Delphi whispered, "Mr. Charol, further ahead is the Tigos Mine. ”
Charelle asked, "Is it possible to take a detour?" ”
Delphi shook his head and said, "Mr. Charol, it's already autumn, if we don't take shortcuts, we won't be able to return to the kingdom before winter, and the snow will close the road, and we will starve to death or freeze to death in the snow." ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the giant demon walking in front.
They are the ones who are the most troublesome in winter.
"yes, we have to get back home before winter,"
Campbell sighed, "Charlotte, we can't afford to take a detour any longer. ”
Charol bowed her head and continued to walk forward, Delphi caught up again, "There are coal mine collapse areas everywhere ahead, and the coal below is hollowed out, and if you fall, life and death are unpredictable, especially the giant demon gentlemen." ”
Campbell's eyes lit up and he said, "Hole in the coal mine!" ”
Their goblins are natural experts at burrowing, not to mention that there are ready-made ones that can be borrowed.
"Countryman, I see what you mean,"
Delphi scoffed, "With the help of the original mines, we can continue to dig deeper, and at most accommodate Charol and Mr. Oporo, as for the Giant Demon, unless Mr. Charol wants to abandon them." ”
"We are all brothers and cannot give up any of our compatriots."
Charol continued, "Lead the way ahead, the provincial Durond and they accidentally fell into the pit. ”
"As you wish."
Delphi and Campbell staggered to the front of the line.
Charol beckoned to Durond and told them to walk in the middle of the line, both to meet them in front and back and to avoid entering the pit in the subsidence zone.
Until the sun went down, a series of folded ravines rushed from the barren dirt slope and sand to the eyes, there were no trees, no water, no people, and no end in sight.
The sky was silvery-gray, like a big cold and gloomy face.
Charol stood here, feeling small.
"Charol, we've found a mine, we can go in and make a fire to barbecue!"
Campbell ran over and said excitedly.
Charol didn't hesitate to follow.
It was a mine hidden in a ravine, surrounded by black cinders.
After Charol got in, she suddenly became enlightened, and even could accommodate the huge body of the giant demon, and continued to walk inside, finding piles of white bones, huge heads, slender knuckles, bone joints, and at first glance, they were orcs.
"Abominable humans!"
The minotaur Opro yelled angrily.
"Why are there so many bones .....?"
Charol felt an eerie aura and stepped back directly, unwilling to go any further.
A fire was lit on the spot, and smoke drifted through the mine.
Charlotte choked so much that she squatted at the entrance of the cave with the barbecue and ate it, and after eating, she re-found a mine from the side and fell asleep directly.
When I woke up, it was already late at night, my mouth was dry, I shook the water bag, and there was not a drop of water.
Let Campbell beckon everyone and continue on his way.
in the dungeon.
One orc after another huddled together, wearing heavy chains on their hands and feet, thick blood scabs had formed in the abrasions.
"Today, eighty more of our people have died, and they are buried in the dark underground!
I want to kill Onny,"
A tall orc whispered, "I will avenge our people!" ”
"Haha, kill Onny?
Brother Wu, why? ”
One of the orcs laughed, "With the iron cuffs in your hand? ”
Then the other orcs laughed.
The night was the happiest time of the day, they were tired, but they were reluctant to sleep.
When I fall asleep, when I open my eyes, it is a day of repetition and repetition, and there is no daylight.
"We are orcs,"
The orc, known as Ugo, stood up at the sound of chains and said, "Believers of Mother Earth!
Tell me, where has the glory in our blood gone?
We are orcs!
Should we be enslaved?
We are orcs!
If we become slaves, should we abandon our dignity?
Fato!
You are a ninth-order warrior!
What about your pride?
Do you want your children to be slaves for the rest of your life? ”
The orc, who had just laughed at Ugo, suddenly lowered his head.
Oh, yes!
He's a ninth-order warrior!
How did you become so cowardly?
Where has his former pride gone?
"But what can we do?"
Fato raised his own questions.
