That's how Roy brought the dwarven craftsman Putgis out of the mines,

The first thing he did when he walked out of the mine, Roy found an axe to cut off the chains on the old dwarf's ankles, which had been worn out and healed many times, always with scars stacked on top of each other, even looking a little scary.

Dwarves are born with big feet, and Putgis's feet are also very large, he is almost always barefoot in the mines, and the soles of his feet are thick calluses after not wearing shoes for a long time, but the nails on his toes are a little scary, and the nails of the gray waves are covered with cracks.

The old dwarf had few strong muscles, his old skin was flabby, and the only beard worthy of praise was dirty.

The first thing Putgis did when he came out of the mine was not to run to the restaurant to enjoy his meal, but to soak comfortably in the steaming bathroom, and to wash his beard very carefully, even with a little oil, before re-braiding his beard into three braids.

As for the Mediterranean hair on the top of the head, the old dwarf simply trimmed it, and then cut off the soft nails soaked in the bath.

When he came out of the bathroom after changing into a set of linen robes, he was still very energetic, except for looking a little thin and rickety.

Roy took him to a separate suite on the fourth floor, the small living room was not large, and it could be transformed into an old dwarf's workshop in the future, next to it was a very private bedroom, the single bed was covered with a soft and clean quilt, and through the glass windows of the field grid, you could also see the vast grassland on the Pagisto Plateau.

The room was exquisite, and Putgis stroked the sofa and coffee table in the living room with his hand, and said to Roy:

"Move all this furniture out, I need a sturdy workbench with a flat top, preferably a set of magic lab cauldrons, and a row of shelves next to the wall to help me build together."

"I'll have people move the workbench and shelves right away, the magic cauldron isn't there yet, I'll find a way to buy it back from Padustow City!" Roy said.

The old dwarf nodded, he looked back at Roy, and asked him, "Lord Roy, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Fill your stomach first, we can talk while we eat......" Roy suggested.

The old dwarf frowned, he obviously didn't approve of talking about work during dinner, but since Roy brought it up, he couldn't say anything.

Half-breeds aren't very good at cooking, they don't even know how to make bread, but they still have no problem making a few scones.

Soon the old dwarf had a fruit platter, two scones and a piece of cheese in front of him, in addition to a glass of ale with a rich aroma of ale.

The old dwarf's lips trembled when he saw the food, and he lowered his head and brought his nose to the plate, sniffing the wheat aroma of the scones with an intoxicated expression, and then he took a sip of the ale from the wooden wine glass......

At this moment, the old dwarf Putgis seemed to come back to life.

When eating, he always holds a wine glass in his hand.

After two sips of ale, the old dwarf's eyes regained some brilliance, and when he looked at Roy, his face was no longer full of vigilance, he put the last piece of cheese in his mouth, and licked the cheese residue from his fingers, and then said to Roy:

"Now you can say that? And if you still don't tell me...... What do you want me to do, maybe I can't sleep well! The old dwarf urged.

Roy smiled and motioned for the half-blood elf cook to remove all the plates from the table.

After the table was cleaned, Roy pulled out a roll of parchment from his magic fanny pack, untied the rope tied to the scroll, and Roy displayed the parchment in front of the old dwarf.

The scroll depicts the expansion of the mine's shaft, with a number of support frames built around the shaft, and two elevators, one up and down.

Roy's drawings were only sketches, and the structure of the elevator was not drawn at all.

The old dwarf's eyes fell on the scribbled drawing, and he didn't say anything, but looked at it for a long time before he raised his head and asked Roy:

"You want to build a two-compartment elevator in the mine?"

Roy nodded and added, "My original idea was to build a more reliable elevator, but then I thought that one elevator might not be enough, so I changed it to two cars. While one car is on it, the other car is parked underground, and they can be connected together by pulleys and cables......"

Roy told the old dwarf about his original thoughts, and the old dwarf kept nodding.

After Roy finished all the requirements, Putgis said: "I will draw the drawings as soon as possible, and after the drawings are drawn, I will make a simple model for verification, which is estimated to take about three weeks to complete." ”

Roy said to the dwarf, "Looking forward to your first set of design drawings......"

The old dwarf's eyes were extremely determined, and he should be very confident in designing this elevator that can run up and down without a human winch.

……

Although there are currently only about twenty gray dwarf miners in the first mine, basic order has finally been restored in the mine.

Roy had found a warehouse full of spinel from the Grey Dwarf bandits, so he wasn't worried about the spinel mines being severely underproduced in recent times.

In addition to mining, these Dark Moon Elves in the mines of the First Mine also monitor the work of these twenty gray dwarves every day.

Although the mine was able to survive for the time being, the obvious problem was that there was a serious shortage of miners in the mine.

First, the half-blood elf miners were rescued, and now the gray dwarf bandits are also dead and wounded, leaving only more than a hundred Dark Moon Elves...... Could Roy still count on how many spinel mines they dig?

There is no way, these problems are all left by the previous mine owner, and now that Roy has taken over the mine, he has to find a way to solve it.

Elves aren't mining fodder, and he needs more gray dwarves into the mines.

Hearing that the Queen Evanie Islands have been plagued by dwarven pirates lately, Roy wanted to write a letter to the Earl of Swinburn and ask him if the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus had captured any of the Grey Dwarf prisoners, and if so, he would like to add them to the mines of the First Mines.

Roy clayed the envelope addressed to the Earl of Swinburn and waited for the logistics team to send it when they were transporting supplies to the mine.

The First Mine was able to operate normally again, and Lambo also managed the First Mine Guards in an orderly manner, not only the internal guard work of the mine, but also the patrol team around the mine, and these half-blood elf warriors had to patrol within a radius of ten miles from the First Mine every day.

Once everything was in place, Roy left the First Mine with twenty half-blood elven warriors and ten Darkmoon elf warriors.

In fact, this battle not only changed the situation underground in the First Mine, but also changed the minds of some Dark Moon Elves.

Especially the ten Dark Moon Elf warriors who followed Roy out on a mission, after this battle, a strong desire for battle was born in their hearts.

They don't even want to go back to the well and live that hard and ordinary life.

The other twenty half-blood elven warriors were also discussing this battle along the way, and for them, being able to defeat those gray dwarf bandits was definitely a big thing worth publicizing everywhere.

Back at the second mine, the expansion of the mine here is nearing completion, but the shaft is still empty, and the elevator does not know when it will be installed.

The stables built outside the mine fortress have also begun to build sheds, and the only material that affects the progress of the project is the shortage of materials, and there is no news about the timber that should have been delivered this week.

It is said that the first batch of timber has arrived at the camp in the valley, but the logistics regiment has not yet made plans for its transportation......

After Roy returned to the Second Mine, the next afternoon, Resander's caravan arrived at the Second Mine, and his caravan had grown from more than thirty to more than seventy.

Moreover, there are a few more young half-blood elves around Reshande, and they are all Leishande's assistants.

Reisander rushed to the second mine and met Roy, who handed him a list of prepared purchases, which consisted mainly of food supplies - fruit and fish.

The distance between the Padesto Plateau and the city of Paddestow was too far, and Roy suggested that Reisander go to the village of the Barrier to procure the supplies.

After accepting Roy's commission, Reisander didn't even stop at the second mine, and rushed directly to the first mine, intending to take a look at Lambo, and then take the pack team to the fortress town......

……

The thing that made Roy scratch his head the most was that after the head of Berkeley went to the hinterland of the plateau, he did not return for a long time.

Since Roy offended the lieutenant last time, the relationship with the logistics department has become more and more strained, and all kinds of supplies have been seized in the valley camp and refused to be delivered to the mine.

Roy made an application to the Logistics Department: he wanted the Logistics Department to purchase a batch of salted fish at the Port of Castletown.

Because most of the people living in the mine are half-blood elves, they are different from the silver moon elves, and they are not averse to eating fish.

This request has not received a response from the Logistics Department.

And on the side of the second mine, although Mu Lin led the patrol team to patrol every day and look for bushes to collect red berries, the food reserves in the mine were still rapidly consumed, there was no way, there were almost seven hundred half-blood elves on the second mine side.

The officer of the Guard Regiment who is in charge of guarding the Third Mine has recently written six letters to Roy in a row, and the letter has only one content, that is, he hopes that Roy can rush to the Third Mine as soon as possible and take over the building.

Roy always ignored ......

In fact, the third spinel mine has not been handed over, which is considered to be Roy's deliberate, and the relationship with the logistics department is so stiff, in this case, it is impossible for Roy to take over the third mine.

……

The officer of the Guard Regiment who was in charge of guarding the Third Mine did not want to stay in the mine fort all the time, so he applied to the military headquarters of the valley camp to send another mine manager to take over the Third Mine.

How could the military headquarters of the valley camp dare to easily change the manager who runs the mine, not to mention how difficult it is to find such a manager, the manager of this spinel vein was personally determined by the Earl of Swinburne.

Unable to replace the mine manager, the military department sent an investigator to the second mine to learn about Roy.

It was under these circumstances that Inquisitor Alilo came to the Second Mine alone.

Arilo was an overseer of the 17th Silver Pegasus Cavalry Pioneer Regiment, and due to the poor performance of the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment on the Pagysto Plateau, Commander Hecklis was currently under investigation in the city of Padesto, so many officers of the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment were assigned new assignments in the valley camp.

That's why Arilo became an inquisitor, mainly to investigate and punish officers who had a negative attitude within the regiment and refused to carry out military orders.

Arilo rode to the Second Mine, with only two of his attendants, and the three of them had rushed from the valley camp to the Second Mine, and when they saw the magnificent fortress-like structure on the ridge in the distance, Inquisitor Arilo sighed.

Everyone knows it's a hassle.

Among the inquisitors of the valley camp, only Arilo had no background, so the matter was assigned to Arillo.

"Head, it seems like the second mine is ahead."

After the attendant finished speaking, he untied the kettle on his back and handed it to Arillo......

Arilo nodded, he had just left the periphery of this fortress last month, and Captain Heckles had not been able to capture this fortress, which was not only a stain on Captain Heckles, but also made all the elven warriors of the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment a little unable to raise their heads......

Now that Yalilo saw the mine fortress again, his heart was naturally full of thoughts.

He tugged at the reins, threw out his thoughts, and rode to the Second Mine.

When I got closer, I found that the construction outside the second mine was in full swing, with at least more than 400 half-blood elves working outside the fortress, a group of half-blood elves building stables, and another group of half-blood elves building a shooting range.

It is also worth mentioning that a mountain road outside the fort also looks freshly built.

Inquisitor Arillo went straight into the mine fortress, and the courtyard was actually expanding the mine......
