The expansion of the second mine was well underway, with the completion of the mountain road, stables, and bow training ground in front of the fort.

Many half-blood elves began to be idle, and during this time, they had been thinking about one thing repeatedly, whether to leave the second mine or not? After leaving the second mine, where can I go to earn a living? Is life really better out there than life here at Mine No. 2?

As Roy announced the generous benefits for the half-blood elf miners, there are paid bonuses for mining in the mine, there are days off, the food here in the mine is great, usually eat fruits, a sea fish will be provided for three days, and a dormitory for twelve people, you can leave at any time if you want, and you can leave with the money you earn after submitting your resignation application.

The Darkmoon Elves in the mine were divided into two parts, the most elite sixty people left the mine and formed the Mine Guardian Assassin Squad, leaving the Darkmoon Elves busy serving as overseers for the Grey Dwarves.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that they are overseers, and recently the half-blood elves have discovered that these Dark Moon Elf overseers not only have to take care of the diet and daily life of these gray dwarf miners, but also care about their mood and health, for fear that they will accidentally go to meet the dwarf ancestors and make themselves unemployed......

Recently, a number of support frames have been added to the mine, and a large number of foundation frames have been added to the shaft passages, all in preparation for the elevator to be built in the shaft.

Clearing the last of the obstacles in the mine, Roy took a closer look at the second mine.

Vitas is left behind by Roy in the Third Mine, and Kaka temporarily becomes Roy's assistant

When the old dwarf Putgis finally designed the elevators for the mine's double aisles, he rushed out of the design room and blocked Roy in his office with the drawings.

The old dwarf was almost obsessed with construction machinery, and the complex structure on the parchment and the lines of small print annotations felt that such a drawing could be broken down into a book.

Roy had a headache when he looked at the dense small words written on it.

The old dwarf Putgis explained to Roy with great interest, and now Roy finally understood what was drawn on this drawing, which turned out to be a three-view view.

During his time in the Second Mine, the old dwarf Putgis looked much cleaner, especially since his beard was probably well-groomed, and he wore a linen shirt and suspenders, but his body could not swell up quickly for a short time, because there was no endless ale and barbecue in the Second Mine.

His body is recovering well, and he has become very energetic, but the Elven accent is a little weird, and it feels like his tongue doesn't seem to bend.

After some explanation by the old dwarf Putjis, Roy finally figured out how his two-aisle escalator worked......

The principle of the two-aisle lift is simple: the two lifts are always one up and one down, and the two lifts are connected by a cable and hung on a fixed pulley.

According to the principle of gravity, two elevators will be stationary when they are of equal weight, and if the weight of one of the elevators is greater than that of the other, then the elevator will pull the other elevator to the ground while the elevator is lowering.

Of course, there is a downside to this elevator, which is that more material is always brought to the mine than to the surface.

Mines are constantly transporting gem ore to the surface, and not always that much material is sent underground.

To this end, the old dwarf Putgis came up with a solution, which was to install a gravity balance tank on each of the two elevators, and when the elevator above the mine could not pull up the elevator below the mine, he could fill the balance tank of the elevator above the mine.

The process of filling and releasing water allows the elevator to run up and down, rather than requiring an external force to push the winch to pull the elevator up from the mine.

The old boom in the second mine has completely become a thing of the past, and what Roy needs to do now is to let the craftsman build two elevators according to the drawings, and also find a way to get a strong enough cable, this shaft is more than 800 meters deep, originally the old dwarf Putgis wanted to install four chains on the elevator, but such a long chain is too heavy, the old dwarf gave Roy a purchase list, this cable is the spider silk cable of the fourth-level Warcraft ground web demon spider.

It is said that this web spider likes to live in crypts, and can only be found in the western part of the New Siachis Mountains, where the dwarven kingdom is located.

This spider silk cable is usually used on giant magic golems created by the dwarves, and if you are in a dwarven realm, this spider silk is not expensive to cost.

But this is the Elven Continent, and Roy has never heard of this kind of spider silk cable, so he can only try to submit a purchase application to the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion to see if there is a way to solve it on the side of the Legion Logistics Department.

Handing the drawings to Roy, the old dwarf Putgis left with a relaxed face, apparently planning to go to the dining room for a drink.

Although the elevator cannot be built for the time being, at least the second shaft is finally up and running.

Seeing Kaka pushing the door and walking in, Roy put down the drawings in his hand and said to him:

"Kaka, are you interested in taking over the other two Mithril mines with me?"

Hearing Roy say this, Kaka immediately came to his senses, and he excitedly sat down in the chair opposite Roy's desk, and said:

"Good! Where is the mine? Will it be far away, is it possible to encounter a highland headhunter? ”

Roy pointed to the map behind him and said:

"The Sudasso Mountains, it may be a little far, but this hand-drawn map doesn't show the true distance."

"I'll go with you!"

Kaka said in the affirmative without hesitation.

……

With a batch of high-quality weapons and armor issued by the elven army from the valley camp, Roy's trip to the Mithril Mine was also determined.

On the desk were two vouchers needed to receive the mines, bearing not only the autograph of the Earl of Swinburn, but also the striking stamp of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus.

The weapons and armor are all specially approved by Earl Swinburne, and they should be new guys who are directly transported from the Elven Continent, with a total of 1,000 sets, which means that Roy can organize a thousand-person escort team.

It seems like a lot, but when it is actually distributed, it is found that if enough guards are arranged for each mine, the scale of 1,000 people is really not enough.

At present, there are three spinel mines, and Roy has arranged 800 half-blood elves to garrison them.

In the future, he will soon take over two Mithril mines, and they are located in the heart of the Pagisto Plateau, in the area of the Sudas Mountains, and Roy feels a little big when he thinks about it.

Thankfully, the young half-blood elves in the gathering ground originally had some weapons and equipment provided by Roy.

Roy remembers very well that those weapons and armor were bought by him from a human merchant ship, and that Reisander had exchanged them for a large batch of rudimentary magical herbs.

In addition, the warehouse of the First Mine also stored a batch of high-quality weapons and armor.

Of course, these weapons and armor have also been assigned by Roy.

Now that Roy has better weapons and armor, he plans to distribute them to the elven warriors who are about to leave for the Mithril Mines of Mount Sudaso.

It has to be said that the biggest feature of the weapons created by the elf craftsmen is that they are beautiful, and they have very strict requirements for the appearance of the weapons.

Of course, the quality of the weapons is also very good, the rigidity, strength, toughness, and sharpness are a notch higher than the existing weapons in Roy's hands, and they have reached the category of magic weapons, and those armors even have some magic resistance, but they are not magic pattern constructions.

The only drawback is that it is expensive to build and is only used by the military.

If it weren't for Earl Swinburn's approval, Roy would not have gotten his hands on a weapon of this quality.

This time on his trip to the Sudaso Mountains, Roy expanded the Darkmoon Elves' assassin squad to a hundred Darkmoon Elf warriors, and the Darkmoon Elves who performed well in the first and third mines were also selected by Captain Timothy.

In addition, Roy also selected two hundred half-blood elf warriors from the three mines, so that a large number of half-blood elf warriors that Mu Lin had just trained were drawn, and she also had to select some young elves from the gathering place and the mine half-blood elf miners.

It took Roy a week with three hundred elven warriors to reach the Mithril Mines at the southern end of the Sudazor Mountains.

There are many valleys in the southern part of the Sudazor Mountains, and the location of the mine on the map in Roy's hand is not very accurate, so he is completely blank in this area, and only knows the approximate location of the Mithril mine.

Upon arriving in the Sudasso Mountains, Roy began to try his luck from valley to valley, but the slopes of the area were covered with barren grasses, shrubs, and low trees, and it was only when he got closer that he knew whether there were any buildings in those cols.

If it weren't for the fact that he met a Silver Pegasus team on the way, and the Silver Pegasus Captain pointed out Roy's specific direction, I'm afraid Roy would have to spend at least a few days in the mountains south of Sudazor.

Roy led a group of elven warriors to the entrance of the valley and saw the square castle at the bottom of the valley at a glance, the appearance of which did not conform to the elves' aesthetics.

But Roy felt that the style of the castle was relatively normal, the castle was not large, the building was made of stones, and there was a smoking chimney in the yard.

There were arrow towers with lookouts at all four corners of the castle, and Roy looked at it as if there was an elf standing on the highest place, holding the flagpole with one hand and waving vigorously in the other hand......

……

The head of the Guard Regiment, Blaise, stood at the top of the watchtower with an excited expression on his face.

He waved vigorously at the elven army at the entrance of the valley, and then ran down in one breath, standing outside the gate outside the mine, waiting for the elven army to slowly approach along the mountain road.

All the elven warriors wore the armor of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Regimental Infantry Regiment, and Commander Blaise knew that the army that had replaced them had finally arrived.

After waiting so long, he sometimes even wondered if he might have to stay here for the rest of his life.

Seeing Roy, the first sentence of Captain Blaise was enthusiastic:

"You're finally here, I'm the Captain of the Guards......"

"Roy, ordered to come and take over this Mithril Mine."

Roy dismounted, gave a military salute to Captain Blaise, and then took out a Mithril Mine receipt voucher and handed it over.
