The Amber Sword: Act 41 The silver mine (2) (second)
Scenario 41 Silver Mine (II) (Second)
"It's hard to say," said the owner of the hotel, lowering his body, whispering to a few people, "but if you are not short of money, you can try to find some famous local adventure groups; those adventurers Been to the forest many times, and also painted a map of the surrounding area -- "
"Map?"
"It's very valuable."
Brando nodded and asked the local situation again. It is mainly about the work and rest of the workers, and some of the patrol hours of the soldiers in the mining area. Of course, --, of course, he was in the guise of an adventurer, --. As for the host of the hotel, he regarded him as a noble child who had no idea but to think about it.
Both didn't pay attention to this misunderstanding, the conversation went on harmoniously, and it didn't take much time for Brando to inquire about these messages. After a short while, he turned back to --. At this time, several ladies already found a place in the hall to sit down. Brando looked at it and was preparing to walk there, but before that he stopped.
A dwarf stood in front of him.
"Please let me know." already Some drunk Odhum squinted a pair of small eyes, he barely saw that the youngster -- in front of him seemed to be the one who came in before, he wanted -- but it was not important, he just wanted to know :
What is the intention of the other party to stand in front of him?
The old dwarf shook his head to figure it out.
But Brando was a little bit crying. It was as if the avenue was obviously one foot wide, but the **** dwarf had to stand in front of himself and say that he was blocking his way.
It's just that he doesn't have the time to work here ***, hesitated a moment or let it go aside. But at this time, Brando was choking.
The blush of the dwarf made Brando at first think that this was just a hill dwarf that was very common in the local area, but after taking a closer look, Brando noticed the light grey complexion on the other's arm.
youngster's heart heavily jumped.
Rune Dwarf.
He almost thought that one's own didn't wake up, he almost had to pinch one's own to check whether he was drunk or the other was drunk.
Rune Dwarf is not as conspicuous as Silver Elf in the history of Vaunde. They come from the underground of Gorgon Ravine like Troglodyte. However, unlike the general Underground ethnic group, they are Underground Silver Lineage that has long since disappeared.
It is said that Rune Dwarf was extinct in the war before the end of the chaotic age.
Another legend is that this nation also has a city existence at the other end of the mercury sea in the underground world. But no matter which one, Brando did not expect to see a living Rune Dwarf here. There is nothing wrong with it. The shallow grey skin is their most prominent feature.
No other dwarf in this world has such a complexion.
The dwarves from the silver era are the builders of the Plain of Steel. Their apology in the era of chaos is just as good as Buga's Magesmith. However, Rune Dwarf is not satisfied with this evaluation. -- is just that their creations are underground and one in the sky. They never have the opportunity to teach.
But already calmed down after a short stint in Brando.
It may also be an expatriate bloodline. Brando knows that no matter what its characteristics, each race has some adventurous and wandering ethnic groups.
However, most of these hereditary people have inherited more or less the same points in their blood. As for how much cultural heritage is left, only the gods can know; the ancient Lost race is actually not a minority in Vaunde, but there are many It is not even clear to one's own.
It's as if Brando hadn't seen the description of Rune Dwarf, and he wouldn't recognize this drunk guy.
However, when he thought so, Odhum already staggered past him. Brando turned around and watched the old dwarf walk out of the crowd, leaving only one back.
Brando thought for a while and didn't immediately follow. There is nothing to talk about with a drunk guy, not to mention that the other person looks like a worker in this place, and it will probably not evaporate for a while.
His goal is to take control of this silver mine. It will be much better to contact the other party at that time. But even so, he still went back and asked the middle-aged humane:
"Who is that?"
"An old guy, it seems to be called Odhum, he has come to this place already for a while," middle-aged people do not know why this young noble would be interested in a puppet dwarf, "he is a small Steward. "
"What did you do?"
"Just oversight."
"Have you heard what he specializes in? For example, construction engineering?" Brando further asked.
The middle-aged man froze and shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
"Oh, I thought dwarves were all building Expert." Brando laughed and said so intentionally.
"That's the mountain dwarf to the north, guest."
Brando nodded, letting go of it, before turning around and walking back to the table where the ladies were. When he approached, Romaine and Medissa were talking about each other one by one, but in response they stopped and watched the young Thane.
"What's wrong?" Jutta asked.
"Nothing," Brando shook his head: "But I inquired about the local news, and the situation was a little bad."
"What's the matter?" There was a flash of anxiety in Jutta's eyes, except for Brando, only she was most concerned about the success or failure of this matter.
"We used to think that the workers would come in and out of the mine every day, but this is not the case I just heard," Brando whispered, "the workers are actually in the town only one day a week, and every Monday morning Will return to the mine and know that he will not leave there until Saturday. "
"The other party's management of the workers is quite strict."
"Yes, so we have less chance to touch fish in muddy water." Brando said.
"What's the problem?" Scarlett asked puzzledly.
"There are two points. It is not difficult to control the mining area. Just kill the swordman with mid Gold rank strength. The remaining 100 people are not enough. But it must be silent and not cause Pallas. Be careful, it's a bit troublesome. "
"But me, lord you still have Medissa Princess, will there be any problem for the three of us to deal with an enemy of mid Gold rank?" red haired girl asked frowned.
"Of course not, but Gold rank's other rivalry is very dynamic, you should know." Brando replied.
"As long as one person knows that the mining area has been attacked, this news will spread wildly, or within a few days Knight Pallas will know more about it than we do!"
"We can have news," Romaine suggested.
"Knight Pallas is not a fool. Shavdron hasn't heard from him for a long time. He will also be suspicious." Brando shook his head: "We can only control this place, let it run as usual, secretly deliver silver for Fir City Just fine. "
Brando has not finished speaking, but everyone knows what will happen next.
These silver will be secretly transported to the mint and minted into private coins. This is a secret that local Thanes does not need to disclose. In fact, Brando entrusted Ciel to already to search for a secret mint that Grudin may be hiding in some estate outside Fir City.
In fact, these are all about gallows, but as Brando often said, a death sentencer doesn't care whether there is one or two noose around his neck.
After a moment of Scarlett, he nodded slowly in understanding.
"Can't lead him out, or make a move while he's out, that human can't stay in the mine all the time?" Silver Elf Princess suggested in a soft voice.
"It can be, but if he doesn't come out once a month, don't we have to wait here for a month?" Brando shook his head: "So we still have to take the initiative, at least sneak into the mine to find out the other party's law Moreover, to control the mining area, our people must penetrate -- sooner or later.
Medissa nodded.
"So what shall we do, Lord Thane?" Jutta whispered.
"Shh, don't call me Lord Thane here," Brando glanced around and said, "In fact, I'm not only hearing bad news, but two good news!"
No one interjected this time, as if waiting for his text.
"The first news is that nearby adventurers may have privately mapped the mining area. I think this news is likely to be true. According to me, adventurers often do this kind of thing."
"Yes, big ... sir," female mercenary commander saw Brando's's eyes glanced over and quickly changed his mouth, struggling to bite out this title: "Sometimes adventurers will also cooperate with the local Thief brotherhood, nobles for such things They usually open one eye and close one eye, and they won't do anything anyway. "
"What about the second news?" miss merchant asked curiously.
"I know that adventurers here occasionally go to mines to do a period of time work. You know, adventurers don't always support themselves."
Jutta could not help but hesitated to hear the news: "nobles is willing to let these troublesome guys enter the mining area?"
"Why not? The mining area needs labor. Entering the mining area is not allowed to take weapons, and you are not allowed to take away even a piece of ore. In the mining area, you use the ore in exchange for money and food. These adventurers can turn it over. What waves are coming? "
"Apart from the Count of Radnor site, who would be *** except us?" Brando asked in a low voice.
"Should we mix in?" red haired girl's eyes lit up.
"You can't do it, I can do it, as well as others," Brando shook his head: "No women will be kept in the mining area, otherwise the world will be in chaos."
Several people glanced at each other and each saw the feasibility of the plan in the eyes of the other. If it can be mixed into the mining area as a worker, then it is too easy to find out the law of action of the guards inside.
What can I do?
