383. Dwarven blacksmith
"Boss, we found a blacksmith furnace in the mine, and there are three gray dwarves over there who claim to be blacksmiths!"
Captain Timothy, the Dark Moon Elf, found Roy again and reported with an excited expression.
Roy was sitting in the cave, looking at the sturdy gray dwarves in front of him, thinking about how to manage them.
The group of Dark Moon Elves in the third mine may not be able to control this group of gray dwarves.
Hearing Captain Timothy's words, Roy's eyes lit up, and he stood up and asked:
"Where are they?"
"I've brought them back." Captain Timothy smiled and replied.
He decided to bring the three dwarven blacksmiths over because Roy gave the old dwarf Putgis a lot of preferential treatment, and he knew in his heart that Roy had a different attitude towards the dwarven craftsmen.
The mine was still a mess, with a group of half-blood elf miners lining up in front of the shaft, waiting to be returned to the surface in a gondola.
More than 170 gray dwarves crouched in the cavern waiting to be disposed of.
The half-blood elven warriors and the Darkmoon elven warriors searched the mines for some fish that had slipped through the net.
The Darkmoon Elven miners had also gathered in the nearby mine, and Roy had asked the elves to bring some food from the warehouse and share it for them to fill......
Roy followed Captain Timothy to see the three dwarven blacksmiths, who were sitting together nervously, and although they had no ropes tied to them, two half-blood elven warriors stared at them with serious expressions.
The three dwarven blacksmiths also looked to be old fellows with long beards, and they were all dirty, with some burns on their arms.
Roy walked over and asked the three dwarven blacksmiths where they came from.
According to their own words, when they first took a merchant ship to the Elven Continent, they originally wanted to exchange some forging experience with the Elven craftsmen of the Elven Continent, but they were looted to the pirate island by the gray dwarf bandits on the way, and they have been making weapons and armor for the gray dwarves since then.
It wasn't until the elven army captured Pirate Island that they became prisoners of war with the grey dwarves, and after several tosses, they were finally sold to the Partington plane.
However, the slavers in Padstow don't seem to know the difference between grey dwarf robbers and dwarven artisans.
They locked all the dwarves together and sold them together.
They and a group of gray dwarves were thrown into the mine, and the dwarven craftsmen had to resume their old business in the mine, and finally built a simple blacksmith furnace, but unfortunately there was not enough coal in the mine, and there was no iron ore suitable for smelting, so they had to modify some pickaxes and create some metal armor pieces for the gray dwarf bandits.
Roy didn't care how much water the story of the three dwarven blacksmiths was!
Since they are dwarven blacksmiths, they are technical talents, and now they are needed in the mine, so he said to the three old dwarf blacksmiths who could not see their age:
"The gray dwarf robbers in this mine have all been arrested by me, and their next fate is to dig gem mines in this mine for the rest of their lives."
"Now I give you two choices, one is to stay and mine with them, and the other is to mine with me, I am going to build a blacksmith workshop, all you need to do on a daily basis is to repair tools, nail horseshoes, make some simple tools, etc., this kind of thing should not be too difficult for you."
"So choose one or two?"
Roy wasn't prepared to give the dwarven blacksmiths much time to think about it, maybe even if the dwarven blacksmiths were to choose, Roy would take them to the ground and build a simple blacksmith shop for the three of them to work in.
After all, there were three blacksmiths, and Roy had seen their craft.
I have to say that it is not easy to transform one end of the mine pickaxe into an axe blade, and it has not destroyed the balance of the mine pickaxe.
One of the three dwarven blacksmiths was a red-bearded dwarf, who blinked his small black bean eyes and hesitated for a moment before asking weakly:
"If I choose the second one, will they serve wheat cakes and onion stew?"
Roy said without hesitation:
"Of course, if you do a good job, you can have a glass of ale at dinner, and every six days you work, you can enjoy a day's rest, you can go hunting outside on the grasslands, or you can bask in the sun all day on the deck chairs on the roof, you can do whatever you want."
The three dwarven blacksmiths' eyes widened, and they looked at each other, and they all said:
"I'm fine, you can come with you at any time."
"I'm okay......"
“……”
In this way, Roy brought three dwarven blacksmiths from the mines.
Although there were no blacksmiths, no small smelting furnaces, no cutting boards, no coke in the Third Mine, none of this was a problem.
Those who are missing materials can be applied to the Silver Pegasus Legion.
Roy didn't demand much of them, and the three dwarven blacksmiths didn't need to craft elaborate weapons and armor, as long as they could repair tools on a regular basis.
……
With the problem of the third mine underground being solved, the gray dwarves in the mine became the main miners.
The half-blood elf miner was rescued from the mine by Roy and regained his freedom, but he heard that life was not very easy on the other side of the gathering place, and the Partington plane was still in lockdown, and there was no way to return to the elven continent for the time being, especially the highland headhunters were plundering the half-blood elves everywhere, so they were full of worries about life outside the mine.
Some half-blood elves who originally lived on the plateau naturally had to go to the gathering place to look for their relatives.
There is also a large number of half-blood elves from the elven continent, they all ran from all over the elf continent to Padstow City to pan for gold, only to find out in Padstow City that this place is not as good as the outside world rumors, although there are half-blood elves everywhere, but they are also managed by the silver moon elves.
When they were wandering around the city of Padstow, they were somehow caught in this place.
Decades have passed, and they all seem to have become accustomed to the dark life underground.
Now that they heard that they had regained their freedom, they were inexplicably happy at first, but then they thought of their future lives, and they still didn't dare to leave this unfamiliar plane.
There is only one elven city on the plane of Partington, Padestol.
They didn't have much to go except for the city of Padusto.
But the shadow left by the city of Padstow is too great, and I heard that if they stay in the mine, they can continue to mine and mine, and they can return to the mine dormitory every day of work to rest, and they can get a salary if they dig gem mines.
Of course, Roy didn't have time to say any of these things, and he was busy helping the dwarven blacksmith build the blacksmith furnace for the past two days.
Roy didn't expect that there would be a half-blood elf standing boldly on the corridor, and mustered up the courage to ask him:
"Boss, if I continue to mine, can you pay me a salary?"
"Yes...... OK! ”
Roy paused, looked at the half-blood elves with withered faces, and replied.
He was a little confused about these half-blood elves, who were obviously free, and could leave the Pajisto Plateau, where could they go without breathing fresh air?
Why do you have to pick up a pickaxe and dig into the dark mines to dig for stones?
But he didn't say it.
The elven population in the Third Mine is still quite small, and it would be nice if there were some half-blood elves willing to stay.
……
As for the Darkmoon Elf prisoners, they still need to stay in the mines, and Roy keeps the name of each Darkmoon Elf prisoner in his book.
The management system for them is exactly the same as in the Second Mine, and as long as the investigation determines that the sentence is completed, these Night Elves will be freed.
However, Roy was not prepared to select the Assassin Squad fighters in this group of Darkmoon Elves.
Their job in the underground is mainly to supervise the work of the gray dwarves.
Roy also moved the second mine out of the Darkmoon Elves, set up tents in the mines, provided plenty of food, and set up bathrooms......
The underground life of the Dark Moon Elves has become much more comfortable, and these elves have hope for their future lives.
……
In a room near the kitchen in the Third Mine, the three dwarven blacksmiths had built a makeshift blacksmith furnace, and the redbearded dwarves had made a windbox out of wooden planks, and they had brought in large pieces of waste stone from outside, which they were going to use to temporarily replace the cutting board.
The day after the makeshift blacksmith furnace was repaired, a puff of green smoke rose from the chimney of the blacksmith's workshop.
By noon, I heard the dwarven blacksmith tinkling in the blacksmith's shop......
In fact, the three dwarven blacksmiths did not expect that the first task they received in the blacksmith shop was not a simple repair work, but to create a kind of shackles suitable for gray dwarves.
And it's made to the size of a dwarf's ankle, which means that it can only lock dwarves.
