55. Salt Mine 1
On November 14, 996, the Emperor of the Human Empire, five days had passed since Rand captured the camp of the Grey Goose, and in the past few days, Rand sent people to erect an observation mast outside the salt mine, which was only 10 meters high, hidden in the woods outside the southwest pass of the salt mine valley, constantly monitoring the situation in the camp.
Rand led his knights and cavalry to train constantly, and slaughtered long-haired sheep every day to improve the nutrition of demon supporters.
And at this moment, everything is business as usual in the salt mine valley.
In the cave on the west wall, there is a particularly delicate and comfortable cave, the cave is surrounded by special lighting magic pattern boards, there is a wooden screen in the cave, around the screen you can see a huge bookcase on the left side of the wall, a set of wooden tables and chairs, there is also an alchemy lamp on the table, the tables and chairs are covered with thick wool sheepskin, blocking the moisture in the cave.
On the right side of the wall is a 4-meter-long and 4-meter-wide stone bed, which is covered with thick animal skins.
The owner of the room was now sitting at a table covered with paper with words and numbers, a quill in his right hand, and an alchemy calculator to the left and right of the imperial capital, which relied on gears and clockwork, and could do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
"Ah, what people!" Outside the screen, there was a roar.
"It's me, Pete Maned Wolf," said one of the boys, "and I'll come back for a moment." ”
There was no sound outside, and then a man over 2 meters entered the room.
Hearing Pete return, the woman in the chair immediately got up, the woman had blue eyes, a peach-like face, and burgundy hair that reached down to the waist.
"You're back," said the woman with great respect before the man could walk around the screen.
"Well, I'll come back and get something, you're busy," the man didn't look at the woman, just said casually, then walked to the head of the bed and rummaged under the animal skin, and soon found a small bag.
The man took the bag and was about to leave, but when he was about to leave the door, he glanced at the woman, "How is it?" Is it still going well? I've heard of those... The man silently pointed out the door, "It's time to leave for escort again."
"Of course, also... It went well."
"That's good," the man said no more, and walked out of the room.
"Hey, it's gone again," the woman looked helplessly at the man's back.
The barbarians outside the door entered the door at this time, saw the woman, bowed, and then went out to continue to stand guard.
This room is the only room in the entire cave where the barbarian cavalry is stationed, since the owner of the house, that is, Laniya, has become the actual female account room of the salt mine and the gray goose camp outside, the gray goose tribe has specially allocated a small camp, and the five barbarian cavalry in it are specially guarded by Lanniya to ensure that she is not harassed by the human race or barbarians.
Lenya Maned Wolf is not only the two camp accounts, but also the actual manager of the Salt Mine Terran camp, where the 2,000 demonsless people in the camp are responsible for salt-making, skinning, winemaking, cave and food distribution, child care, and personnel distribution.
And the man who left as soon as he entered the room was her demon bearer husband, the mid-level knight Pete Maned Wolf.
After sending the maned wolf away, Lannia did not dare to stop for a moment, and immediately returned to her seat to settle the score, while Pete wandered into another room, where naturally there was a beautiful woman waiting for the intermediate knight.
。。。。。。
Pete swaggered around the cave and turned into a room.
At the end of the road, a pair of sharp eyes looked at the smug Pete, his face was full of wrinkles, his long white hair reached his chest, and the man's right hand still lived a long staff.
"Hey... It's hard for Lenia" The old man who spoke was Gandalf Merlin, the only Terran magician in the entire salt mine.
After he came to the salt mine 5 years ago, he chose the clever Lenya, and he taught Lenya how to manage the entire salt mine, but Lenya is not a demon supporter, and he can't convince the demon supporter, so he can only wronged her to marry Pete who has a flower heart.
In fact, Pete is not bad for Lanya, he has done his best to protect Lanya from coveting and harassment, but Pete is not a dedicated person, especially after Lannia has gained the attention of the barbarians, Pete doesn't even want to stay with Lanya.
The old man knew that this was the way he had shown Lanya, and he had told her that this would be the case from the time he suggested that Lanya find Pete, but both Lannia and Gandalf knew that order was urgently needed in the human camp in the salt mines.
The cave inhabited by the entire Terran can be divided into 6 floors, and each floor has a strict division of room functions and inhabitants.
The lowest floor is the salt workshop, and the second floor is the large room of the salt makers, all of which are large shops, and the salt workers do not let the pot go out or dry in three shifts.
The third floor is the room for the no-demon who has a certain skill and status in the camp, the fourth floor is the room for the ordinary demon holders, the fifth floor is the room for knight apprentices and junior knights, and the top floor is the room for intermediate knights.
In addition to the dozen or so Chase rooms of the Salt Workers, there was a small stone room, the only one in the realm for the ascetics, and although the ascetic Wright Doriner had at least the rank of a mid-level priest, he himself asked to live with the salt workers, so that anyone could be found as soon as he was injured.
There are always a lot of salt workers lined up outside Wright's room, hundreds of people take turns boiling salt, and it is inevitable that there will be burns, burns, and smashes, and everyone will find Wright as soon as they are injured, not only the Terrans, but also the barbarians will come to him after they are injured, and they will also line up outside.
When the people outside Wright's door saw Gandalf coming over, they all automatically made a way, it was difficult for an intermediate mage to be injured, and there must be something to find an ascetic when he came over.
The mage was walking to the ascetic's room, and the ascetic, who was healing a salt worker who had been wounded in the back, spoke, "Whoever you are, go out in line, or I don't care if you're the head goose!" ”
Ordinary barbarian demon supporters know the temper of ascetics, and they will line up with the demonsless outside, but there are indeed those who do not believe in evil, such as the five middle-level knights in the camp and the first geese in the gray goose tribe, and the ascetic will always have a bad temper at this time.
"Even old friends come over to chat and have to queue up?" The white-haired mage asked with a smile.
"Ah," Wright glanced back, "Oh, it's you, sorry, I thought it was Pete's guys." ”
"Don't worry, I'll heal my injuries myself, and I won't snatch the magic like them," the old mage continued to tease
"That's great, I have this little magic now, and it is difficult to treat even ordinary minor illnesses and injuries."
"Have you felt like the treatment has been easier lately?"
"Huh? Which... The ascetic just thought about retorting, "Don't say it, it does, a few months ago I treated up to 4 people in one breath, but now I can treat almost 5, do you think I'm going to break through?" ”
"Haha, I think you should be realistic" The old mage paused, "I have a feeling that the magical environment on the plains is about to change"
"Going to change?" The ascetic did not know why.
"Yes, it's time to change," the old mage said meaningfully, "more than a thousand years" in his heart.
