Before nightfall, Captain Craven hurried out of the Mithril Mines of Sudasso North with his guards.

What Roy didn't expect was that Captain Craven had left behind 10,000 Mithril ingots, which were packed in twenty chests and placed as a wall in the hall on the first floor of the castle.

Looking at the dark face of Captain Craven, Roy knew that he had completely offended Captain Craven this time.

The storage of Mithril ingots in the North Mithril Mine of Sudas was twice as large as that in the South Mithril Mine, which was also somewhat unexpected by Roy.

In his opinion, the owner of the Sitney Mine had run the Southern Mithril Mine very well, and Channing told Roy that the Leader of the Blaise Mine had taken nearly five thousand Mithril Bars from the Southern Mithril Mine.

The Southern Mithril Mine can condense five Mithril ingots every day, and the Mithril ingots taken away by Captain Blaise happen to be accumulated in the Southern Mithril Mine for three years.

Now that there are 10,000 Mithril ingots in the North Mithril Mine, Roy casually opened a large box, and there were indeed glittering Mithril ingots lined up inside, each Mithril Ingot was about the size of a brick, and it contained much less impurities than the Mithril Ingot smelted in the South Mithril Mine.

When the commanders of these guard regiments were stationed in various mines, they probably had the idea of making a sum of money and leaving......

The mine is in the backyard of the castle, the high courtyard wall completely encloses the entire mine in it, the backyard space is not very large, Roy did not see the smoke billowing chimneys, and the half-blood elf warriors have climbed the city wall, which can be regarded as completely controlling the North Mithril mine.

Because he was in a bit of a hurry, Roy didn't get any news when he handed over to Captain Craven.

In order to prevent the miners from absconding at night, Roy arranged the assassin team on the periphery of the castle as usual.

Putting the Mithril ingots back in the warehouse, Roy checked the other materials in the warehouse, including zinc and lead ingots.

When Roy came to the cellar where the fruits were stored, he found that many of the shelves were almost completely empty, and there were only apples and breadfruit in the remaining wooden boxes, and the elf biscuits were all emptied.

"Boss, when the Silver Moon Elf warriors of the Guard Regiment left, they took all the elven biscuits with them."

"Got it." Roy nodded.

Captain Craven calculated Roy before leaving, but Roy wasn't too worried, as there was a large terraced field on the hillside outside the North Mithril Mine, covered with red berry bushes.

In the Pagisto Plateau, this red berry is considered one of the main foods of the elves.

Walking out of the cellar of the castle, the Mithril ingots in the hall on the first floor were removed, and suddenly it became empty, opposite a staircase, flanked by an arched corridor, the walls of the magic sconces emitted a soft glow, and the walls were covered with soft wallpaper with some beautiful hand-painted patterns.

On both sides of this corridor are sculptures of elven warriors and landscape paintings.

Roy stands in front of a mural with a panoramic view of the Sudasso Mountains.

The castle is divided into three parts: the main building and the independent pavilions on both sides, the first and second floors of the main building were requisitioned by the guards, and the third floor and the attic are currently under house arrest for the family members of the mine owner.

In fact, Roy was a little curious about this, what kind of family was it that made Captain Craven prefer to give up 10,000 Mithril ingots than take them away......

Arriving in the backyard, Roy saw the magic-style furnace in the backyard, the entire furnace was covered with magic circles, there was a river of lava on the left side of the furnace, and there were three exits on the right side, corresponding to Mithril ingots, zinc ingots, and lead ingots.

The four gray dwarves dug out the metal ingots condensed in the grooves of the mold, placed them on a flatbed truck, and then applied some release agent to the mold cavity with a brush.

The gray dwarves, all strong, shirtless, wearing scald-resistant leather aprons, their beards curled from their chins, saw Roy and several half-blood elven warriors approaching, and immediately stopped chatting and began to concentrate on their work......

At least twenty grey dwarves were working around the furnace.

Near the exit of the mine, a row of stone houses had been built under the high stone walls, and a group of half-blood elf miners were supposed to have just come out of the mine, standing by a pool, and constantly scooping out water from the pool and pouring it overhead.

At the exit of the mine there is an extended track with a row of minecarts on top of it.

Roy walked over and tried to push the wooden hopper-shaped minecarts with his hands, and found that the four small wheels underneath the minefields were very smooth and did not need to be pushed very hard.

The pile in the backyard wasn't very large, and several gray dwarves were wielding sledgehammers, constantly smashing the ore into small pieces.

Not only are the furnaces in the North Mithril Mine better than those in the South Mithril Mine, but even the minecarts in the mine are laid with light tracks, so it's no wonder that the mines have saved more than 10,000 Mithril Bars in three years.

Roy's dilemma was that once all the half-blood elf miners were released, the Northern Mithril Mine would have no reserves of Mithril ore and would immediately stop working...... There is no room for relaxation.

This is also the last thing Roy wants to see.

……

Instead of freeing the half-blood elven miners that night, Roy chose to gather them together early the next morning, before the half-blood elf miners entered the mine.

This time, Roy directly asked more than three hundred half-blood elf miners to leave the backyard and stand in the open space under the steps at the entrance of the castle.

Roy stood on the steps, a group of half-blood elven warriors maintaining order around him.

Some careful half-blood elf miners immediately noticed that the Silver Moon Elf warriors in the mine had disappeared overnight, as if they had suddenly appeared and taken over the entire mine, and now suddenly disappeared......

Standing around were some half-blood elven warriors, who were also wearing silver armor, but they always felt that their eyes were a little kind.

Roy stood on the high platform and clapped his hands, so that the eyes of all the elves were focused on him.

"I am the new owner of the North Mithril Mine, and I will be in charge of this Mithril Mine for the next period of time!"

Roy said to the half-blood elf miners in a calm tone.

Then he said:

"I'm going to announce a decision made by the Northern Mithril Mine: all the half-blood elf mines will be free from now on, you can pack some of your luggage and pick up your travel bag in the warehouse, and I'll give it to you...... You are allowed to collect red berries outside the castle, and you can collect some to eat on the road. ”

A group of half-blood elf miners stood at the bottom of the stage, staring at Roy on the stage with wide eyes.

At first, the half-blood elf miners didn't even react, and then someone asked in a loud voice, "Roy mine owner, are you serious?" ”

"Of course, these half-blood elf warriors around me can prove that I have released the half-blood elf miners in four mines, and the Sudasso North Mithril Mine is the fifth!" Roy swore an oath.

"The boss is right, we are here to rescue you, from now on, you are free!" A group of half-blood elf warriors shouted to the half-blood elf miners in the empty field.

The half-blood elf miner immediately let out a cheer, and the sudden joy made the scene boil instantly......

At this time, Roy asked the two half-blood elf warriors to bring out an oil painting, which painted the whole picture of the Sudasso Mountains, and Roy pointed to the top of the Sudasso Mountains and introduced to everyone:

"This is located at the northernmost point of the Sudazor Mountains, and from here to the southernmost part of the Sudazor Mountains, it will take at least fifteen days to hike, and it is estimated that it will take these days to reach the southern steppes of the plateau."

On the oil painting at the end of the day, Roy drew a zigzag route with charcoal.

He went on to say:

"But this road is not easy to walk, in addition to the plateau headhunters along the way, you may also meet some junior demonic beasts, such as the wind wolf, stone-toothed wild boar, blue-clawed leopard cat and other plateau demonic beasts. When you encounter Warcraft, you may still have the strength to fight, but when you encounter those highland headhunters, they will not send you to this Mithril mine. ”

"So my advice to you, if you don't want to risk leaving, you can stay here for the time being, wait for our logistics team, and when the team leaves the Northern Mithril Mine, you can go with you all the way, and it should be much safer at that time."

The half-blood elf miners stood still, discussing the matter from ear to ear.

Everyone finally gained their freedom, and naturally they didn't want to stay in the Mithril Mine.

Many of these half-blood elven miners were caught in the mines by the elven headhunters, and they naturally knew how powerful the plateau headhunters were.

The half-blood elves were hesitant to stay and wait for the logistical packers to arrive before following them out of the Sudasso Mountains.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen half-blood elf miners to stand up and say loudly to Roy on the stage:

"Mine owner, we want to leave ......"

Roy turned around and instructed a half-blood elven warrior, "Prepare a travel bag for them and let them go......"

Then I met the half-blood elf miners, each of whom received a travel bag.

The half-blood elven warrior pointed to the path outside the castle gate and said, "You can go." ”

When the half-blood elf miners saw that it was so easy for them to leave the Mithril mine, the half-blood elves who were originally going to leave the mine immediately hesitated.

Immediately afterward, a half-blood elf miner said that he wanted to stay......

……

On the third floor of the castle there was a terrace, and the Harold mine owner stood in front of the balustrade of the terrace, and beside him was a bronze statue that just covered his body.

He frowned as he looked at the half-blood elven miners gathered in front of the castle gates......

The Silver Pegasus Legion raided here.

Overnight, Harold went from mine owner to prisoner.

With the departure of the Silver Pegasus Warriors and the arrival of an elven guard, Harold began to live in prison, he and all his family members were placed under house arrest on the third floor of the castle, and every day the Silver Moon Elf warriors would provide them with a ration of food, as long as they lived honestly on the third floor of the castle, no one cared what they were doing.

Harold had been waiting for the Silver Moon Elves to judge him and his family all these days, and the day before yesterday he had taken out a magic dagger to find out that they would be escorted to Padstow City, where they would be tried......

It was only two days before those Silver Moon Elf warriors withdrew all at once.

A group of half-blood elf warriors came, led by a human teenager, and they only took over the Mithril mine last night, and they were ready to release all the half-blood elf miners this morning.

Harold watched the Mithril mine, which he had worked so hard to manage, collapse little by little, and could only hold on to the railing and silently stare at the gate of the castle without saying a word......

……

Of the more than 300 half-blood elf miners, only one hundred and thirty-eight chose to leave the mine on the spot.

Nearly two hundred half-blood elf miners chose to stay for the time being.

They accepted Roy's offer and became miners back in the North Mithril Mines at a salary of one hundred Kohler per day.

And that morning, these half-blood elf miners carried their pickaxes into the mine.

Then Roy began to calculate the profits and expenses of the North Mithril Mine, and for the two hundred half-blood elf miners alone, Roy would need to pay forty magic crystals per day, which means that ten Mithril ingots would be consumed, and the mine furnace would need to burn eight magic crystals.

In this way, these two expenditures alone eat up all the Mithril ingots produced by the Mithril Mines every day.

In other words, Roy only had some zinc and lead ingots left in his hand, which were worthless things.

Despite the fact that the North Mithril Mine is in an unprofitable situation, this is already a solution that Roy has racked his brains to come up with, at least to keep the Mithril Mine afloat......

……

Roy didn't have time to eat breakfast, and he stopped after a busy morning.

Guided by a half-blood elven warrior, Roy made his way to a dining room on the third floor of the castle.

Harold, the owner of the mine, wanted to see Roy, so Roy arranged to meet him in the restaurant on the third floor......

Pushing open the door of the restaurant, Roy saw that there were many half-blood elves sitting in a huge restaurant, these elves were wearing some clothes cut from silk and wool, Roy knew at a casual glance that they had long been accustomed to this kind of privileged life.

Everyone saw Roy push the door and walk in, and they all looked at Roy.

The middle-aged half-blood elf sitting in the center of the table stood up, and the other half-blood elves followed him.

"Harold has seen the Roy Mine Owner!" The middle-aged half-blood elf stared at Roy and said.

Roy felt some oppression from Harold's gaze, and he went directly to sit down across from Harold.

Roy looked around and asked Harold, "Are these elves your family?" ”

"Yes!" Harold admits frankly......

Roy took a closer look at the men and women in the dining room...... There were seventy or eighty of them.

With so many family members, Captain Craven's guard group really can't take it away.

After seeing the family of the owner of the Harold mine, Roy understood that it was really helpless for Captain Craven to hand over the Mithril ingot.
