Chapter 90: Interrogation

When Luke heard Lai's words, his expression changed brightly, and his heart began to struggle, who wants to die if he can live.

After a long ideological struggle, in the end, Luke gritted his teeth, raised his head and asked: "What you said is true? How can I believe that you will keep your promise? Also, if I tell you everything I know, you will not kill me, but the others have not promised anything, and they will kill me, then I am not saying it in vain, it is better not to say nothing, I am still a martyr if I die." ”

Wang Yong saw that Luke's tone was loose, and he hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, I promise you as a lord that as long as you can answer our questions and tell you everything you know, I will let you go, and I promise that others will not embarrass you." ”

Luke hesitated for a while, although he didn't believe Wang Yong's guarantee, but he still decided to gamble, so he said angrily: "Okay, I'll bet this time, it's a big deal to die immediately after becoming a traitor, if you want to know anything, just ask." ”

Kevin still can't turn a corner, I don't know why Wang Yong and Ryan agreed to let Rook leave, even if after Rook goes back, he doesn't dare to come back to retaliate, but he won't report the news like Lyne said, right?

Wang Yong asked tentatively, "What's in your ring?"

Luke said indifferently: "I know that you have broken my spiritual power mark, and the ring is full of magic metals, including dense silver, copper essence, iron piceth, etc., these are all high-grade gold training materials. Also, the smallest piece is Adamantite, which is a superb material for crafting weapons. ”

Wang Yong didn't know the use and preciousness of these metals, so his expression didn't change in the slightest, and he asked lightly: "Where did these things come from?"

Seeing that Wang Yong's face was not shocked, Luke was not moved by these precious metals, and couldn't help but add a little admiration to Wang Yong in his heart.

Luke said in a slightly cohesive tone, "These magic metals are all mined and refined in the station. ”

Lyne asked, "Is there a lot of mineral deposits in your lair?"

Rook nodded: "Suffice it to say, there are indeed a lot of veins in it. ”

Wang Yong asked curiously: "How big is your lair, how can there be so many kinds of minerals?"

Luke did not hide it, and replied without hesitation: "The area of our station is not very large, but it is not small, although there are no mineral deposits in our station, but we find that the interior of Mount Biya is rich in minerals. We have dug the passage from the outside, mined to the heart of the belly of Mount Bia, and are now digging south along the mountain range. So far, three large iron ore mines, two large copper mines, a super-large coal mine and a number of other small deposits have been found. However, due to a lack of manpower, most of the mineral deposits were not mined. During the mining process, some miniature magical metal deposits are occasionally discovered, but the yield is low, and the magic metal in my ring is nearly a year's output. When Wang Yong and Lai En heard this, they were surprised, they didn't expect that the province recorded by the empire as having only two small mines would have so many hidden veins.

Wang Yong frowned and asked, "According to what you say, are you now mining in the interior of Biya Mountain, and people outside can't find you at all?"

Rook nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Wang Yong closed his eyes and pondered, thinking to himself: "Biya Mountain is so big, if it is full of various mineral veins, then its mineral content is also extremely huge, and it is estimated that it can be compared with the entire empire." ”

Wang Yong's mood was very complicated, sometimes excited and sometimes angry, excited that his territory had so many resources, what a great fortune it was. Angry, the materials that originally belonged to him were actually stolen, and he knew who the thief was, but he had no ability to claim it back. Then I thought that with these resources, the territory would grow stronger and stronger, and it would not be too late to find those revenge when the time came.

Wang Yong calmed down his depressed mood and asked with a pleasant face, "How long have you been here?"

Luke thought for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly how long, I came here three years ago, and the size of the mine was only about half of what it is now. Wang Yong calculated, these thieves have been digging here for at least five years, which is a lot of money.

Wang Yong was very painful, and he covered his heart and asked, "How much do you produce in a year, and where did all the mines you dig go?"

Rook replied: "I don't know the specifics, I'm only in charge of precious metals, and Kaka is in charge of the rest." As for the whereabouts of the minerals, I think you also know our details, in order to hide people's eyes, a small part was sold to the Ten Great Chamber of Commerce, and in doing so, it will not make your El Empire can't help but turn its face, and most of the other ores, we have smuggled back to the Eternal Empire. ”

Wang Yongqiang resisted the urge to beat people, and asked with a distorted face: "How many of you are mining, are those people from your empire?"

Luke glanced at Wang Yong with some weakness, and said lightly: "We have about 2,000 people for mining, and they are all slaves we bought from various countries. ”

Seeing Luke's dodging eyes, Ryan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, is there anything you haven't said?" Let's say it together, otherwise don't blame us for not keeping our promises." ”

Luke's heart tightened, and then he said cautiously: "Most of these slaves are soldiers and civilians who were captured during the war between your Aier Empire and the Lawson Empire, because of their low status, and no one redeemed them with gold coins after being captured, so they were sold to us as slaves by the Lawson Empire. ”

When Ryan heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, many of his subordinates were unfortunately captured, because the empire was unwilling to redeem those little people with gold coins, and they were also abandoned by the empire. Because of this, Ryan went to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to theorize, and for this reason he offended the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and finally even he got to this point.

Seeing Ryan's gaze that seemed to want to kill and vent his anger, Rook thought that Ryan was not satisfied with his answer and thought that he was still hiding something, so he hurriedly added: "There are also a small number of villagers from the nearby fish village, but the number is very small, about a hundred people. ”

When Wang Yong heard this, he didn't react as much as Lai'en, but thought in his heart about how many minerals were transported to the Eternal Empire, and when they had the strength in the future, they would spit it out with interest. But after a while, Wang Yong gave up, there was no way, with his level of often failing the elementary school math exam, he couldn't be counted to death.

With the foreshadowing of the previous questions, Wang Yong asked the question he was most concerned about: "What's going on with those necklaces in your space ring?

Rook knew the importance of this matter, but if he wanted to live, he had to answer, and Rook hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes." ”

Wang Yong was irritable in his heart, and said in a cold voice with some impatience: "Say as much as you know, don't let me ask a question, you answer, it's not a quiz game, and there will be no reward for you if you answer correctly." My patience is limited, and if you mess with me, I won't ask for those secrets, and let it rot in your stomach for you to bury. Wang Yong saw that Luke was a little hesitant, and hurriedly added a fire, he didn't want to give Luke more time to think about it, if he used this secret as a bargaining chip and made any excessive demands, then he would be passive.

Luke was frightened into a cold sweat by Wang Yong's words, and quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said endlessly: "We found the earth fire, that is, magma, under a mineral deposit in Biya Mountain, where the temperature is very high, and we built a smelting furnace at the mouth of the earth fire to smelt special metals. Because of the high melting point of Secret Silver, if it were to be melted with magic, it would take the help of several mid-level fire magicians. But with the earth stove, this problem is basically solved. Although it took a little longer, it was better than asking the four mid-level magicians of the empire to help. Moreover, the use of earth fire to smelt secret silver is much more than the amount of smelting by a mage. Because the main ingredient for making those magic items is secret silver, the empire sent three intermediate gold practitioners here to refine magic metal and make magic items at the same time. The few people who were killed by the intermediate warriors were those gold practitioners, probably because they were afraid that those alchemists would fall into your hands and reveal the method of making magic props. Actually, I also have a little bit of research on alchemy, and I also know a little bit of space magic, which just helped them combine individual magic arrays into compound magic arrays, so I was sent here. Also, the notes in my ring are all about the magic array used to make magic items, which I secretly wrote down. The others didn't know that I knew how to practice alchemy, so that mid-level warrior didn't waste time killing me last night. ”

Wang Yong asked curiously: "Can a single magic array be combined with space magic?

Rook explained, "In the past, when magic was flourishing, I didn't know what method they used, but after years of research, our Eternal Empire has discovered that it is possible to combine composite magic arrays using space magic. ”

Wang Yong got an affirmative answer and clapped his hands excitedly. The problem that the magic array has not been able to combine has plagued Wang Yong and Regan for a long time, and now that there is a solution, how can Wang Yong not be excited.

If Wang Yong can master this method and let Lei Hee disassemble the compound magic array to study, I believe that the speed will increase a lot, coupled with Wang Yong's space magic, the two of them should be able to make a magic array that charges the magic crystal, which makes Wang Yong excited, this is the foundation of all development plans.

Wang Yong couldn't wait to take out the paper and pen, handed it to Luke and said, "Write out your spatial magic word for word." ”

Luke glanced at Wang Yong and thought, "Space magic is not something that anyone can learn if they want to, there are too few magicians with spatial magic affinity, even if I write it, you won't find anyone to learn it." He didn't dare to say these words, and with a bit of schadenfreude he began to write about the spatial magic he knew.
