Act 47 Silver Mine(8)

"Who is that guy?"

After Brando left, the teenagers were discussing in low voices. The first person to speak was Maher. In fact, he had been objecting to their contact with the unknown guy since last night, but since Brando found out the location of this cold iron vein for them, and spent a large sum of money, After making this deal with them - he had to admit that there were some benefits to dealing with this guy.

However, compared with him, Qiaoka, who was the first to deal with Brando, was a little worried. Thirteen thousand Thors was not a small sum of money. He always felt that this matter was a bit unreliable and that the money came too easily.

He couldn't help but look back at Ke Wen. This frail young man was the most knowledgeable among them, and not only that, Ke Wen also knew magic.

Every time they were injured in the mining area or in a fight with someone, Ke Wen would use magic to heal their injuries. Although there was no legendary magic that could heal the wound instantly, it was at least much more effective than herbal medicine.

In this way, in fact, Ke Wen has already become the leader of their group of people, but Maher has always been a little unconvinced. But Qiao Ka knew that Maher was just a little embarrassed because he was pulled from the position of leader.

"It's nothing." Ke Wen shook his head: "Keep digging, the things here have nothing to do with us."

Just as he finished saying this, he heard a scream coming from the mine.

That was the direction where one of their companions was. Everyone felt tense and stopped to look over there. There are many mysterious legends about the dark mines. Although no one has ever been there, they are willing to encounter any accidents in such a place.

But they saw their companion running out in a panic.

"Come here." The boy shouted hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Ke Wen asked.

"Ke Wen, you'll know when you come here. I, I don't know what this is -"

Everyone was stunned again, Ke Wen exchanged glances with the others around him, and then everyone leaned over together. But they just walked over and were stunned.

Behind a dark blue vein, it was obviously where the boy had mined before, and a silver edge was exposed behind the broken rock formation.

It was definitely not a rock, nor was it some kind of ore. Instead, it looked like some kind of man-made object.

The young man said with some anxiety: "Look at this." He picked up the pickaxe and showed it to the others. They saw that the tip of the pickaxe had been cut off, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

"Did you do this?" Ke Wen frowned, because he didn't know what it was.

The young man nodded.

"That's a sword, so sharp!" Maher said immediately: "I heard someone say that there are residents in the underground world under our feet. That must be the weapon they use!"

"Maher, how come the weapons used by the residents of the underground world come to this place?" Someone put forward a different view.

"It's entirely possible. Didn't the monsters below also come up?"

"Maher, you idiot, that's because the workers dug the passage below." Even Qiaoka couldn't stand listening this time: "But there was no passage here before we dug it, let alone this sword. It’s buried in the rock formations!”

He at least agreed with Maher's statement about the sword.

Maher was about to retort, but Ke Wen interrupted them: "Stop arguing, let's dig it out and take a look."

"Dig it out?" The girl was a little confused: "This thing is useless to us, Ke Wen. I'm a little uneasy, so let it stay here."

The young man hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the gleaming silver in the rock formations, he was always curious. He thought that Maher might be right, that it was something left by the residents of the underground world, but he took a look at the severed pickaxe - such a fast sword must be worth a lot of money outside.

"Dig!" he said.

Everyone nodded, and the young man's strong curiosity finally defeated his fear of the unknown.

…

But when Ke Wen, Maher and Qiaoka began to dig out the strange 'weapon' buried deep in the ground, a large-scale commotion was taking place in the entire mining area.

A terrifying rumor is circulating among the miners that a monster has been discovered in the mining areas below. The news became more and more true, and finally the supervisors had to organize a team of soldiers to go deep into the mine to investigate what happened.

But these people never came back——

In less than half an hour, a written report was placed on Okins' desk. This energetic young man in his thirties - of course, according to Warnd's algorithm - felt for the first time that things were starting to get a little tricky.

Okins was able to come to this mine to serve Count Jean Denel. On the one hand, he was valued by the latter, but on the other hand, it was also because all aspects of the relationship were well managed, especially Countess Denel's contribution. Wei - as a young man from the lineage of Countess Denel's family, he hitchhiked here all the way, just waiting to join the Earl's staff after his term of office expires.

Okins knew that this mine was highly valued by Earl Jeandenel, and those who could successfully gain his trust here would eventually become the Earl's trusted retainers. Therefore, he was full of enthusiasm for this appointment, and could even be said to be ambitious. Arrive at this place with great pride.

Everything seemed so organized until this morning.

This report woke him up from his dream. The report said that someone witnessed a giant spider a few floors below the mine. Of course, a normal spider would not grow larger than a human head, so it must be a monster. .

Okins suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He certainly knew what happened in this mine more than ten years ago. If the workers dug through the passage to Jogendigang again, he could hardly imagine how serious the situation would be.

The young man suddenly felt unable to relax. He first repeatedly confirmed the situation in the mining area, but the news became worse than the last. It was not until a group of soldiers disappeared into the mine below that Okins knew that he was in bad luck. .

He was well aware of his abilities—in fact, his inability to do so. He had originally made up his mind to come here to find a position that was more leisurely and enough to attract the attention of Earl Denel, but he didn't expect that he was so unlucky that he encountered the worst situation.

Okins was at a loss for a moment and almost slumped in his position. What he kept thinking in his mind was that if he lost this mine, Earl Denel would tear him into pieces.

And when Kuran opened the door, he saw exactly this scene——

This swordsman who had entered the golden field thirty years ago and was also one of the most powerful confidants of Count Jean Denel saw the young man looking lost - although he had known that the other party had no ability, but He was a guy who came through the back door, but he still couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt in his heart.

He had thought that the other party had no ability, but he didn't expect that it was completely impossible to hold up the wall.

He coughed before calling Okins out of his dazed state. As soon as Okins saw Kuran at the door, his gray eyes lit up.

Of course he knew this old executive adjutant, captain of the guard, and the highest military officer in the mining area. Unlike him, he was already Count Jean Denel's right-hand man before the Year of White Frost. He came here to take charge of the daily life of the mining area. Of course, the job will not be for gold plating like him, but it will be fully trusted by the earl.

Although Okins secretly called this old man who usually didn't give him a good look more than once a 'damn old guy', he at least knew that he had to show a certain amount of respect on the surface, not to mention that at this moment, the other party It could very well be his savior.

He shouted like a drowning man grabbing the last straw: "Mr. Curran, you are here, now we are in big trouble!"

"Why are you in so much trouble?" the white-haired Kuran said with disdain.

But Okins didn't dare to care so much at this time, and hurriedly explained the situation in detail. But in fact, Kuran already knew everything about it before he came here. In fact, the old man had already cursed in his heart. The damn bastard of the other party suppressed the news from him at first until it became unbearable. Only then did he call him here - if he had known the truth earlier, at least the soldiers under his command would not have died for no reason.

Therefore, Kuran was very unhappy at the moment, but he was unhappy anyway. He also knew that this matter was of great importance, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and asked coldly:

"Oh, then what does the clerk plan to do?"

Okins hesitated. Of course he knew that Kuran was taking the opportunity to make him unhappy. Of course, he didn't do it in an honest way. He knew it well. He could only put on a smile and say: "Well... I don't know what's going on yet, but I'm worried that the miners will riot, and I plan to send the security team down to maintain order..."

Seeing the old man's increasingly gloomy face, he swallowed hard: "Well, at least we need some manpower..."

Kuran interrupted with a cold snort.

"What a bullshit idea. If you send the security team down, don't the miners know that something is going on down there? They will only become more chaotic. There are thousands of miners in this mining area, and you want to maintain order with less than a hundred people. Secretary Officer, are you thinking too much?"

Okins almost lost his face because of the scolding, but fortunately he was thick-skinned and replied nonchalantly: "What should we do?"

"I'll go down and take a look." Kuran wiped the hilt of his sword: "Although the monsters under the big hive are troublesome, they can't keep me. I'll go and see how serious the problem is down there -"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Okins said three good words in a row. Although the matter has not been resolved yet, he was relieved that Kuran could take action.
