By the time the Demonic Plutocracy set out toward the southeastern mines, Oliver, Wren, and Pwis had already led the commanders assigned to each mine back to the small mine where Lucius was waiting.

To Lucius's surprise, among the leaders of the twelve mines, six of the mines were led by black iron dwarves and half-orcs, originally Lucius thought that the people mining in the southern magic crystal mines were all high elves, but he didn't expect that in the six larger mines, most of the miners were actually black iron dwarves and half-orcs.

However, although the leaders of those mines are orcs and black iron dwarves, it can be seen that they all seem to have absolute authority in their respective mines, and can be supported by the high elf miners in their respective mines.

And from the conversation, it can be seen that these black iron dwarves and orcs who are mining in the south no longer have much emotion for their own race.

In the words of the leader of the largest mine, the Black Iron Dwarf, "If it wasn't for the betrayal of those guys in the clan, how could we have been brought south in the first place?"

It turned out that most of the Black Iron Dwarves and Orcs in the Magic Crystal Mines in the southern part of the Grass Sea Plain had been ostracized by their respective races before, so that they could only choose to leave their respective ethnic settlements.

There are also some that after the rise of the three major mining companies, they were caught by other mining companies and sold to the magic energy chaebol at a low price to supplement the shortage of magic energy chaebol miners.

Many black iron dwarves and half-orcs have been in this mining area in the south for many years, and almost their ancestors have lived in this mining area for generations, so they have long been indifferent to the former clan land and the clansmen in other places, and they have not thought of returning to the so-called clan land.

Brod knelt down on one knee in front of Lucius very formally, and said solemnly: "Dear Highness of the Clover family, I am grateful to you for saving me and my people so that we can no longer be enslaved. I, Broad, can assure you that we Crystal Dwarves will always follow you. ”

"Demon Crystal Dwarf?" Hearing this title, Lucius couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he didn't expect that the other party would completely abandon the identity of the Black Iron Dwarf.

Broad's title was quickly approved by the other dwarves, who seemed to have recognized the title "Crystal Dwarf" and no longer considered themselves to be members of the Black Iron Dwarves.

Then, another commander of the large mine, a half-orc, walked out, also knelt down on one knee and said, "We can't do the half-orcs are willing to follow your highness forever. ”

The name of the dwarf and the orc. However, it made Lucius feel a little surprised, he didn't expect that these two dwarves and half-orcs would completely break with other local tribesmen.

Lucius stepped forward to help Brod and the orcs up and said, "You don't have to do this, since you have been rescued by me, I will definitely not leave you alone, otherwise I will not rescue you, I hope you can be truly free, and take back the land that should belong to you with the High Elves." ”

"Your Highness, you are right, we naturally want to take back the land that belongs to us. The southern part of the Grass Sea Plain does not belong to the demonic chaebol in the first place, and we must take it back from them. ”

Wren agreed with Lucius's words and immediately stood up on behalf of the High Elves. Of course, the dwarves and orcs agreed with Lucius.

Suddenly, a deep voice came: "Everyone, Your Highness Lucius, shouldn't we think about how to deal with the reinforcements that the Demon Energy Chaebol is about to bring?"

Hear a sudden voice. The crowd immediately followed the sound and took the initiative to get out of the way and reveal the speaker. so that Lecius could see who was speaking.

To Lucius's surprise again, it was a short dwarf who spoke, standing alone in the crowd, looking unusually thin and weak, but his face was never humble or arrogant, even in the face of the eyes of Lucius and everyone, the dwarf was still able to remain calm.

Lucius looked at the dwarf for a long time before asking, "Do you know Palup?"

The dwarf smiled, took two steps forward and bowed to Lucius and said, "Dear Highness Lucius, my name is 'Prupa Parker'. ”

"Sure enough. After listening to the other party's self-introduction, Lucius confirmed his guess, and the other party was indeed a family with Palup, both of whom were members of the dwarf Parker family.

Seeing that Lucius understood his identity, Prupa continued: "I believe Palup should have mentioned to you, although he and I have the same surname, in fact we belong to two families, but our two families are indeed very related, and it is said that the earliest ancestors of our two families are twin brothers. ”

Lucius spread his hands and said, "Well, Prupa, you shouldn't be a miner in the mines, are you?

"Your Highness, I think you're definitely thinking about what kind of reinforcements the Demon Chaebol will send right now, and how are you going to deal with the other side's reinforcements, right?" Prupa asked Lucius confidently.

Listening to Prupa's question, Lucius squinted his eyes and looked at the other party, and suddenly saw a strangely shaped emblem on Prupa's waist, and immediately understood the identity of the other party, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe, I didn't expect it, you are also a person from the Demon Energy Chaebol." ”

Lucius's words suddenly stunned everyone in the room, and their eyes were focused on Prupa's body again, and at the same time, everyone's eyes revealed unkindness.

In the face of everyone's unkind eyes, Purupa did not have the slightest fear, but smiled, took off the insignia from his waist and said: "I do come from the Demon Energy Chaebol, or my family has been a member of the Demon Energy Chaebol for many years, but I am not here to represent the Demon Energy Chaebol, but only to represent my family." ”

Lucius motioned for the crowd not to get excited, and then he continued to say to Purupa, "You are coming on behalf of your family, so what do you think?"

Seeing that everyone no longer seemed to be doing it themselves, Prupa smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hehe, my idea is actually very simple, and it is also the meaning of my whole family, which is to cooperate with you. ”

"Cooperate with me? Why? Aren't you better at the Magical Chaebol than with me?" Lucius was not surprised, but still wondered why Prupa wanted to cooperate.

Prupa shook his head and said: "No, it's not that it's bad in the Demon Energy Chaebol, it's not that our Parker family has a very low status in the Demon Energy Chaebol, in fact, among the Demon Energy Chaebol, our Parker family can definitely rank second, because we control a large number of mechanical technology of the Demon Energy Chaebol." ”

"Then why do you still want to cooperate with me, since your position in the Demon Energy Chaebol is so solid, I don't think it is possible for the other families of the Demon Energy Chaebol to offend you, right?"

Purupa took a deep breath and continued to answer: "Yes, we do have a solid position within the Demon Energy Chaebol, and the other families dare not offend us lightly, but that still can't change the fear in our hearts. ”

"Fear?" Purupa's words surprised everyone present, wondering why they were still afraid when they had such a high status in the Demon Chaebol?

But Lucius seemed to understand something, knew what the fear in Prupa's mouth was, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "So, have you seen the mastermind behind the manipulation of the Grass Sea Plain?

Prupa didn't expect that Lucius would guess the mastermind behind the scenes, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, that's a really terrible guy." ”

After a pause, Prupa lowered his voice and said, "I believe you should know very well that most of the soldiers under the command of the Demon Energy Chaebol are actually some puppets who have been accused of holding their souls, and they will be absolutely loyal to the Demon Energy Chaebol, although they retain the ability to think independently and wisdom. ”

Lucius nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen those puppet warriors, and I've fought with them, killed a few, and got this thing." ”

As he spoke, Lucius threw the magic pattern patch to Propa, and even Lucius quietly used his magic power to urge the magic pattern on the iron piece so that Prupa could see it more clearly.

In fact, the moment Lucius took it out, Prupa had already recognized it, and when he saw Lucius urging the magic pattern and throwing it to himself, Prupa's pupils shrank suddenly, almost trying to avoid it.

But in the end, he still stretched out his hand and caught the magic pattern patch, looked at the flickering magic pattern with palpitations, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This kind of thing is just used by those low-level puppets, and that person has more sophisticated means and can naturally transform a large number of puppets." ”

With that, Prupa unbuttoned his shirt and pulled the placket straight away, exposing his chest to the public.

As soon as Lucius looked over, he saw that there was a strange pattern on the opponent's chest, which seemed to be a very mysterious magic pattern tattooed by special means.

He took two steps forward, came to Prupa, reached out and touched the lines on his body, and to Lucius's surprise, those lines actually felt metallic.

Lucius was a little surprised, raised his head to look at the bitterness on Prupa's face, and asked in a low voice, "This, what the hell is this?"

Purupa replied very directly: "The heart family's mind control technique originated from the Sand Sea Empire, which is a special secret technique for burying civilization under the sand sea, and if you fall into this secret art, you will gradually become a puppet of the spell caster unconsciously, and it will not have any impact on the person who is in the secret art itself, but it will maintain absolute loyalty to the spell caster." ”

Most of the people present did not know about this secret technique, and all of them looked horrified, and could not believe that what Pupa said was true.

Lucius was very calm, because he knew the existence of this secret technique, and quietly looked at Prupa and asked, "Inside the Demon Energy Chaebol, have all the families fallen for this secret technique?"

Purupa nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, as far as I know, some families have been completely accused, and it can be said that they have become the loyal dogs of that person, and I relied on the special treasures left to us by the Sage to curb this secret technique, and I was not accused."
