The Grantham mine owner quickly turned and walked up the stairs, and the three golden wine glasses magically disappeared from his hands.

When he first captured the owner of the Grantham mine, the elven warriors confiscated his magic belt bag as soon as possible, apparently he had found another magic belt bag.

The Grantham mine owner regretted it a little, in fact, when he just gave the gifts, he should have faced the three elven guards alone, he understood the reason or something, but the gifts he gave before were too simple.

These elven warriors had no resistance to these fine vessels, much to the disdain of the Grantham miners.

Unexpectedly, only these three elven guards confiscated his small gift......

And they are the guards of warehouse No. 2, and many valuable items hidden by the owner of the Grantham mine are stored in that warehouse, and they can't get them back if they want to get them back.

Walking up the stairs slowly, the elven guard at the top of the stairs on the second floor saw the Grantham mine owner and nodded slightly, signaling that he could go upstairs, but not wander around on the second floor.

The Grantham mine owner hurriedly continued to walk upstairs and smiled at the two elven guards guarding the second floor.

The elven guards on the second and third floors were all bought by the Grantham Mine Master with gem vessels, and he could move around the second and third floors as he pleased.

Pushing open the door, the two wives in the room hurriedly greeted them.

The Grantham Mine Master rubbed his smiling face stiffly and sat down in his chair, his eyes closed, wondering how he could get the three elven guards to accept his gifts, and he considered whether he wanted to do it another way......

The two wives did not dare to disturb him, so they could only sit quietly on the sidelines.

……

Roy and the two elven guards parted and returned to the room on the second floor alone.

He and Lambo lived in bunk beds, and Lambo was lying in bed at the moment.

The other elven warriors in the room hadn't returned yet.

Many of the elven guards of the 10th reconnaissance team were on duty at night, and the beds on both sides were empty, Roy walked lightly to the bathroom, and when he came out of the bathroom after washing his face, he saw Lambo sit up from the bed, and then took out a red spinel from his arms, the size of a pigeon's egg, which was polished to an extremely smooth surface, and the gem contained countless crystal filaments, which were dazzling.

"Roy, look at this gem, how does it feel?" Lambo whispered.

He showed Roy the spinel.

Roy took it, threw it in the palm of his hand, and asked, "Sent by the owner of the Grantham mine?" ”

"How do you know?" Lambo asked in surprise.

Roy tossed the gem to Lambo, grabbed the handrails of the bed with both hands, and nimbly climbed onto the bed.

"I just met him at the top of the staircase, and he wanted to give me a golden wine glass, but I didn't, I don't think the owner of the Grantham mine is well,"

Lambo craned his neck and looked at Roy on the top bunk and asked, "Roy, are you saying he wants to escape?" ”

"Maybe."

Roy lay down and said casually.

……

The elven warriors in Roy's room are all on duty at night, and everyone gets up late every day.

When Roy woke up, the other elven warriors were still asleep.

Roy jumped off the bed lightly, picked up the thick leather armor, and gently pushed the door and walked out.

Sitting on a bench in the cloister on the second floor, Roy put the magic pattern structure on his body.

Captain Jones came out of Captain Yalig's room, and saw Roy sitting on a bench with his boots on his feet, and came up to him:

"Roy, you're going to be in charge of guarding the mine well this afternoon, and the elven guards over there are guarding the warehouse, so let's change ......"

"Yes, Captain." Roy agreed.

Captain Jones patted Roy on the shoulder and sat down next to him.

He admires Roy very much, since Roy joined the 10th Reconnaissance Team, the 10th Reconnaissance Team has become the star team of the Reconnaissance Team, and he can always find traces of highland headhunters when he goes out on missions.

The only regret is that Roy is not a Silver Moon Elf, and there is no way to join the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion.

Captain Jones said casually: "Captain Yalig is not very satisfied with the mine guards before, the punishment they inflicted on those prisoners and gray dwarves underground has not had any effect, do you have any good way to reverse the current situation?" ”

Without waiting for Roy to reply, Captain Jones continued:

"Captain Yalig wants to restore the mine to production before the logistics group comes, even if it is only half of the previous ore output, so that it is easy to make a difference, it can't be said that those half-blood elf mine slaves are released, and this mine will be completely paralyzed."

Roy was a little speechless, this kind of underground work of digging gem mines used to be almost done by those half-blood elf miners.

Now that these guys have left the mine, how can production be restored here?

If there was a way, these mine owners would not hire highland headhunters to hunt half-blood elves everywhere.

"Why don't we go down the mine and negotiate with them?" Roy rubbed his forehead and suggested to Captain Jones.

"It's not a good idea, who knows what kind of murderers are hiding in the well!" Captain Jones decisively rejected Roy's offer to take the risk.

Seeing Roy frowning, Captain Jones patted him on the shoulder again and comforted:

"Don't worry, just think of a way slowly, the worst result is to maintain the status quo, what else can you do!"

Roy was about to say, 'I'm going to make a ......deal with the prisoners and dwarves in the mines,' but before he could say that, Captain Jones walked to the other side of the hallway.

Lambo, who wakes up early, goes to the restaurant to get two apples after his morning workout.

He threw an apple to Roy, sat down where Captain Jones was sitting just now, and asked curiously, "Roy, what did Captain Jones tell you just now?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the place I'm in charge of guarding has changed, and I'm going to guard the mine head in the afternoon." Roy replied.

……

At lunchtime, Roy saw the two wives of the Grantham mine owner come out of the room, and the two elven ladies leaned against the pillars of the cloister on the third floor and chatted.

The owner of the Grantham mine even appeared in the restaurant, lining up with the elven warriors to receive the meal.

Captain Yalig's supervision of the Grantham mine owners is not so strict.

Roy was a little confused, the elven warriors were hostile to the highland headhunters, but they were very tolerant of the Grantham mine owners, and didn't seem to care about his past......

Roy chose a piece of breadfruit and a cup of fruit tea, and walked over to Lambo and sat down.

The two elven warriors who were on duty with Roy in the second warehouse yesterday actually walked to the side of the Grantham mine owner and talked very familiarly, and the Grantham mine owner was even more radiant, and Roy was a little dumbfounded.

"That Grantham mine owner is really capable, he has bought so many elven warriors in just two days......" Roy said in a low voice.

"In my opinion, these elven warriors dare to do this, at least with the acquiescence of the above." Lambert whispered, and then said with a worried expression, "I heard that Chief Hercules had written a letter to the Earl of Swinburn, in which he suggested that the owner of the Grantham mines be put back in charge of the mines. ”

Roy was completely dumbfounded, if the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion chose to cooperate with these mine owners, it would be a disaster for the half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau.

"No, then why do we have to take this mine down?" Roy retorted.

Lambo said: "Of course, it must be captured, so that the Silver Pegasus Legion will have the right to speak, and then redistribute the mine with the mine owners, and then the Silver Pegasus Legion will be able to get the lion's share." ”

"Not a single officer in the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion wants to run this mine......," Roy said.

"That's why Earl Swinburn is considering cooperating with these mine owners again!" Lambo said with a bitter face: "Roy, I think it's better for me to get out of here as soon as possible." ”

"Where did you hear all this?" Roy asked curiously.

"I overheard it in the morning while fetching water by the river......"

Lambo said in a low mood.

Roy hurriedly comforted Lambo: "Lambo, don't worry too much, as long as these mines are in the hands of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, the use of half-blood elf slaves as miners will definitely be eliminated." ”

"Hopefully, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live on the Pagisto Plateau." Lambo's words were full of concern.

……

It's understandable that the Silver Moon Elves don't want to manage the gem mines.

The captains of those cavalry brigades ran faster than rabbits, and even at the expense of offending Captain Yalig, they had to get out of the gem mine, completely because they didn't want to stay in the gem mine.

The Earl of Swinburne's idea is incomprehensible, to capture all the mines on the plateau, and then go back to talk about cooperation with these mine owners who have lost their homes......

Obviously, it is to beat a stick to the two sweet dates.

But here's the problem: even sweet dates are on other people's trees.

But the Grantham mine owners couldn't have a better choice......

However, Roy is still somewhat skeptical of the bad news in these rumors.

When he saw the owner of the Grantham mine again, Roy was just about to go to the mine head for a handover.

The smile on the face of the Grantham mine owner was a little smug this time, and he didn't mention the golden wine glass to Roy anymore, he could walk around the inner courtyard as he pleased.

The elven guards at the mouth of the well stood their last shift with a dejected expression.

In the morning, several of them were severely scolded by Captain Yalig for their mishandling of the prisoners and gray dwarves below the mines.

Now I saw Roy and the other three elven guards walking over to make the handover, and there was a happy smile in their eyes.

"I've been having nightmares for days listening to them wailing under the well all day, and you've come just in time to finally get a good night's sleep." An elven warrior said to Roy.

The other elven warriors who guarded the mouth of the mine were also deeply sympathetic.

"They're not going to climb up the mine, are they?" An elven guard who had arrived to hand over asked curiously.

"It won't be." The elven guard guarding the mouth of the mine said with some embarrassment.

This time, Roy became the leader of the on-duty team, and he personally carried out the handover, in fact, there was nothing to hand over, just casually talk about the basic situation of the mine wellhead.

Roy remembered that in the morning, Captain Jones asked him to find a way to keep the prisoners and gray dwarves in the well working.

Now that I think about it, Captain Yalig probably wants to make a final move, if someone can manage the mine well, then the Silver Pegasus Legion will not need to cooperate with the mine owners.

Otherwise, Captain Jones wouldn't have talked so much to Roy in the morning......

Roy knew that there were a lot of spinels in Warehouse 2, and although he didn't know the exact value of these gems, it didn't matter, there were a lot of them anyway.

After the handover, Roy felt a beam of eyes fall on him from upstairs, and he subconsciously looked up to see the owner of the Grantham mine standing in front of the railing on the third floor, staring at it expressionlessly.

When he noticed that Roy was looking up at this side, he immediately showed eight neat teeth and smiled at Roy.

The boom next to the mine is more than two meters high, just enough to hang a rope down the well, and at one end of the sling is tied a large wooden box, which looks very stupid, probably because it is often loaded with ore, and the whole wooden box looks dirty.

But Roy didn't care about that, he circled around the wooden box, and then looked into the deep well.

Inside the dark wellhead, I don't know if it's the wind or the wailing, which makes people a little uneasy.

Roy found a piece of seagrass paper, on which he wrote:

'NEW: Ale, Apple, Breadfruit, Lemon Slices, Honey, and Salt can all be exchanged for Gem Ore under the following rules:

Twelve low-quality gem ores can be exchanged for one apple...... And so on'

Roy wrote in great detail on the seagrass paper, and he even graded the gem mines: low, medium, high, superb, and rare.

He didn't finish a piece of seagrass paper, and he wrote a total of two pages.

Roy pasted the two pages of seaweed paper on the wooden box, and then worked with three elven guards to deliver the wooden box to the mine.

After waiting for about half an hour, Roy hoisted the wooden box up from the mine, and sure enough, there were several more piles of gem ore in the wooden box.

Roy ran to the warehouse where the mine personnel were being held and called out a half-blood elf who specialized in screening gem mines, and asked him to sort the piles of gem mines......

There is nothing to score, they are all the lowest quality gem mines, and there is a demand written under each pile of gem mines.

Once the gem mines were sifted, Roy went to the cafeteria to retrieve some apples and breadfruits, stacked them in wooden crates, and then re-placed them into the well with three elven guards.

After this set of processes, it was dark.

Feeling that the rope of the boom was no longer tight, the wooden box finally fell steadily into the well......

Roy didn't know how the prisoners distributed the food, but at least the wails were gone, and then a cheer came from below.

The next day, more high-quality ore was also delivered, and Roy once again delivered the prepared fruit and honey to the bottom of the mine according to the details of the exchange list......
