Arun is the son of a miner in Goyan Province, he has longed to become a samurai since he was a child, and he is not uninterested in mage, but it is more difficult to become a mage than a samurai, and the miner's son is still in good health......

However, it is a pity that he has actually lost this opportunity, because he is already twenty-two years old, and he has not had the opportunity to train as a samurai except for a few strengths, at most he has been an attendant of a samurai master for a while, and he has also taught him a little swordsmanship when the other party is interested.

But from then on, he regarded himself as a reserve samurai, and of course others did not recognize it, but was ridiculed.

But it didn't matter, Aaron definitely didn't want to be a miner anyway, and he also made some trades to make a living, which was actually to help the merchants in the city sell some items to the mines, such as salt, medicine, and so on.

In fact, he didn't make much money in the process, because most of the money was stripped away by the businessmen behind him.

And in the mining area, he actually bartered to bring the above-mentioned necessities, and the mine often used the minerals he dug to pay for it.

A large amount of minerals could not be digested by Aaron alone, only the merchants he worked for could find a way.

But Aaron had always thought that he was no longer a miner like his father, that he was a future samurai, and even if he was in the service of a merchant now, it was only temporary.

Recently, business has been inexplicably improving, about a few months ago, I heard that a lot of merchants came to the northern Skyrim Province, and they became celebrities in the Skyrim Province, and they had a relationship with the imperial capital of Celeordir.

These merchants are sourcing minerals on a large scale, and have opened a huge factory in Skyrim Province, which is said to be frighteningly large, and is produced and managed in a way that has never been seen before, and at the same time is building something in various parts of Skyrim Province, and it is said that they plan to build it in the province of High Rock as well.

However, even if these exotic merchants were favored by Skyrim Province and the Imperial Capital of Cellodiel, it would not be easy to reach out to High Rock Province.

The Archons of High Rock Province and the Alpine Dwarven Clans were wary of this and did not allow them to come in and build those strange things. Aaron heard what it was called a base station.

This kind of base station seems to be related to the magic array and requires a lot of resources, so those merchants simply purchase it in Skyrim Province and neighboring provinces to speed up the construction.

Even if they have the backing of high-ranking officials of the Maide Empire, it is useless. Because the Maide Empire was weaker than the Poutin Empire, the Saiptin Empire at least tried to centralize power and was successful for a time, while the center of the Mader Empire had a weaker control over the provinces, and the wild elves of the Summer Twilight Islands counterattacked Morrowind Province to make other provinces see through the weakness and incompetence of the Empire.

Of course. On the surface, a certain amount of harmony is still maintained, and there is also an introduction from the Church of the Holy Spirit on the other side, saying that what these exotic merchants want to do is also to prepare for future invasions.

Speaking of the invasion, Aaron was fortunate enough to overhear a few words when he was about to report on the business to one of the masters who hired him.

It was a priest of the Church of the Holy Spirit who accepted the invitation of the merchant to be a guest, in fact the merchant wanted to know more about the situation and goals of the foreign merchants from him.

As a result, the priest, for the sake of money, seemed to have given some kind of warning, mentioning the oracle, in the near future, the Maid Empire. Even the entire continent of Tamriel will be invaded without an unprecedented war, and those foreign merchants are now helping the Empire, and it is best for the High Rock Province to give them convenience.

Aaron didn't know whether the rulers of Goyan Province believed it or not, but he knew that until now, the exotic merchants had not been allowed to build the so-called base station in Goyan Province.

But the offer of barter was accepted by the exotic merchants, who sold something they had never done before, from elaborate household goods to murderous weapons, all of which were supposedly produced in a way known as industry.

Aaron wasn't too interested in those household items. He was interested in the weapons that killed people, things called muskets and artillery.

Artillery seemed to him to be too bulky, suitable only for group combat, and for long-range destruction. He couldn't possibly carry it with him.

But the musket was different, but after some further research, he was dismayed to find that it might end his dream of being a samurai, because even someone with no swordsmanship training could kill a future samurai like him.

So Aaron's mood is a little low these days, I heard that those muskets and artillery are not only in Skyrim Province, but also in the current High Rock Province. It was first available in the south, and the wild elves were able to capture Morrowind Province and repel the emperor's **, and it was also because of this thing.

But a month ago, it was reported that the Emperor's second crusade against the wild elves of Morrowind Province also relied on the things of these exotic merchants to achieve success.

Armed with muskets and artillery, the Emperor's ** Regiment leveled the wild elves that blocked them along the way, although there were still large casualties, the wild elves were always more suitable for jungle warfare than them, but the Emperor ** opened up a road without a forest on the way to the capital of the Morning Wind Province with savage means, and then relied on the same sharp firearms and paid more lives to clear the obstacles.

They also had extra cannons, which the wild elves didn't.

Finally, he directly arrived at the capital of Morrowind Province, and mobilized a group of artillery to destroy the city wall and recover the capital.

Perhaps it was the result of this war that led the consuls of Goyan Province to agree to trade with foreign merchants with minerals mined in the province.

"Maybe I should consider not being obsessed with becoming a swordsman and practicing this thing?" Aaron reached for a pistol at his waist, which he had bought, along with twenty rounds of ammunition.

He contradicted that he could not abandon his yearning for samurai since he was a child, and in his inner consciousness, he always believed that by becoming a samurai, he could completely break away from the identity of the son of a miner, and his descendants would be the descendants of samurai in the future.

The things that the foreign merchants had brought with them, especially the muskets and artillery, disrupted his dreams.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, let's get today's goods first. Aaron thought about it for a long time and decided to go to the mine first and finish today's task.

Aaron walked into the mines, where he was a regular visitor, so the mine guards didn't stop him.

"How's it going today?" he handed a cigarette roll to the overseer in charge of the place, it was a good thing, and it was sold by an exotic trader, and Aaron liked it as soon as he learned to smoke it.

"It's not bad, don't worry. For the sake of the cigarettes, I'll let you be the first to load and pull away in a moment. The overseer greedily put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it.

"These cigarettes are really good stuff, staying in this hellish place is like going to jail, you can get more next time. "The overseer didn't want to smoke. put away the cigarette and said, "It's better for you to be a kid, you don't have to be like your father, much better than me." ”

"It's not about serving anyone else, but you know my dream since I was a kid was to be a samurai. Aaron laughed.

"You're really persistent. But in the Empire, if you can become a samurai, you can easily get into the army. The overseer sighed.

Aaron's father has always been incomprehensible to his son, thinking that he is too ambitious, and the overseer is also an old man who has been working here for nearly twenty years, and he and Aaron's father both serve the mine owners here, but the two have different statuses, and the life of the overseer is much better.

But in the eyes of the overseer himself, it is like going to prison, because he has to monitor these mining workers every day. They must work hard, and they must be supervised not to hide privately.

There are so many kinds of minerals here, if it's just a normal one, sometimes you can dig up associated ores, and the production of Adamantite, Mithril or other minerals that can be used by mages is quite valuable.

In the Empire, merchants and mine owners are only in the middle of the pack, and the Empire needs them, but it does not give them a place in the most core classes.

For example, the mine owner at the head of the overseer trained his son to become a samurai from an early age, and then entered the army. Became a captain of the guard.

Aaron's dream since he was a child was because he saw the power of the mine owner's son when he came back to save his family, and the awe of everyone for him, and when he grew up, he knew that this could change his status. Become a person of another class, so never give up.

The two of them made their way along a narrow, rocky passage filled with an eerie, obscure, and strange smell.

Suddenly, they heard screams and exclamations behind them, and the overseer stopped abruptly and said in disbelief, "It seems to be outside?"

"Yes. It's outside. Aaron was also taken aback.

"Go back and see. The overseer drew his sword and whip, he was also trained as a samurai, but he did not become a samurai, and as a child he was the initiation teacher of the mine owner's son in martial arts.

The two jerked back, and Aaron drew his sword, and at the same time quietly touched the pistol he had bought and kept behind his waist, which was loaded with bullets and could fire six shots.

The two rushed to the entrance of the mine and saw an amazing scene.

Outside, in the loading and unloading and temporary storage area, there were small monsters only half a man tall jumping around with bone forks, and the miners gathered in the group to resist, but they were no match at all, and they were killed and poked, and the corpses fell one after another.

If Solomon were here, they would have told the two of them that these little monsters were cowards, creatures of the lowest level of purgatory.

In addition to the cowardice, there were also tall demons with horns in the field, who were messengers, holding thick leather whips that were at least twice as long as the overseer's hand, and covered with barbs.

In the center was a taller demon, with a pitch-black cloak and arms folded, looking indifferently at what was happening in front of him.

The cowardly demons are excitedly killing, and the high-ranking demons will go to the corpses to sow eggs, and the blood-colored eggs from the endless river Styx will be injected into these corpses, and the blood-colored eggs will absorb the corpses of these creatures to breed new little demons.

Soon, the little demons broke out of the chest cavity of the corpse, and then were whipped a few times by the demon with a leather whip, obediently learned to listen to the words of the superior demon, and became a member of the strange army that quietly appeared in the high rock province of the Tamrel continent.

Seeing this, the overseer was already frightened, and Aaron was still a little sober, and he quickly fled out, not even daring to remind the overseer.

In case the demons notice, the Overseer is just right to help him attract firepower.

No matter how important the businessman's task is, his own life is important, and the priest's words are true. (To be continued.) )
