Chapter 79 - Dagger Mine
When dawn dawned, Walnut opened her sleepy eyes, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and felt the warm blanket under her. Little Loli clutched the quilt in both hands, just like a wild cat lying in the warm sunshine in the afternoon. Mei Mei groaned.
turned over and Walnut was about to continue to sleep. She hadn’t tasted the bed for more than a year. She was either camping in the wild, awakened by dew, or harassed by wild dogs and security teams in the city.
“Wake up and wake up, I will leave later.”
Downton was sorting out his backpack aside. In order to cover up the magic book and potion book, in addition to some clothes and daily necessities, he also stuffed a few other books into it. Of course, the quill pen and ink bottle were also unstoppable.
Walnut suddenly heard the sound of strangers, completely drowsiness, and sat up at once, then the memory of last night flooded into his mind.
“I actually stayed at a stranger’s house.” Walnut stroked her forehead. Some surprises. Since the incident three years ago, she has never believed anyone. As for yesterday, she had intended to finish dinner and left. of.
“Wash your face, I’ll cook.”
Downton put on the belt of his backpack, went out, bought a bucket of milk from the neighbor’s aunt, and poured it in an iron pan to boil.
Walnut hugged the quilt, watching Downton busy, sliced the bread and smoked ham on the dinner plate, and the sun shone through the glass, shining on him like a tender picture.
“It’s time to eat, go wash your face.” Downton urged.
“Oh!” Little Lori agreed, but didn’t move. She really hoped that this scene could continue and never end.
Downton washed a few apples, and after taking a bite, tossed one on the walnut, “Hurry up.”
“Don’t, sleep a little longer.” Little Lori, like a groundhog, got into the quilt and made it bulge a big piece.
Downton lifted the walnut quilt and was about to say a few words. As a result, she saw her lying on the bed, her head buried in the pillow, and her shoulder twitched slightly.
Little Loli cried.
Downton stroked Walnut’s hair and sighed slightly. The little loli alone and wandering alone must have suffered a lot.
Although the walnuts were no longer willing, breakfast had time to end. Looking at Downton carrying a backpack and locking the door, Little Loli knew that in this life, she would never have the opportunity to come in and eat breakfast made by her elder brother.
“If possible, stop wandering, find a kind couple and adopt you!”
Outside the town of Chenwu, Downton took Little Loli’s “Mountain Bag” backpack and put it on the back of the Black Emperor, persuading, “No matter what, you are still small, you should have a home and should enjoy more warmth. , Not stray.”
“Hmm!” Walnut nodded solemnly.
Downton took out a money bag and handed it to Walnut, then took out the soul mount badge and released the crescent unicorn.
“Leave, goodbye.” Military boots stepped on the stirrup, Downton turned his horse, waved his hand, shook the reins, and moved towards the dagger mine!
Walnut stood on the spot until Donton’s figure disappeared.
“Master, let’s go on the road.” The goblin was bored and urged, but was kicked hard by Walnut and rolled to the ground.
“Without my permission, you will not be allowed to speak or you will be hanged.” Walnut glared at the goblin, holding the reins of the Black Emperor and the leash of the’pet’ goblin in one hand to rejuvenate.
Little Loli wants to put the purse in her pocket, but she feels that it is not like a gold coin. When you open it, it is all thumb-sized gems.
“Is that human being a fool, this bag of gemstones is worth at least one hundred thousand gold coins.” The goblin took a breath, and could not help but stretch out his hands to grab the walnuts’ strength.
“Big Brother is a good man!” Walnut grunted.
Don’t know that Downton, who was issued a good card, flicked a lot of guys. Of course, his unicorn mount also shocked the eyes of the ground.
In the morning, Downton had already dealt with the trivial matters.
Wolf and Spice Store is still locked, and asked the neighbors, it has not opened its doors recently, obviously the female shopkeeper has not returned.
Ilian didn’t reply unexpectedly, just staying in the mailbox in front of the door, some dust had accumulated.
The content of the letter is very simple. In addition to caring about Donton’s body, let him not be too laborious, but also let him not worry about it. Elaine’s situation is all right, even let him stop sending money, she can pay for the tuition. Solve it yourself.
“When this semester is over, I will also take a look at Wangdu while taking the opportunity to give money to Yilian.” Downton arranged the itinerary. Since his mother’s death, he has been working hard for his sister and has not enjoyed a day. Holidays, “We are now a million-dollar man, playing for a few days, no problem.”
“You still have to think about how to last this month. Liszt must find someone to deal with you in the mine.” Homer projected fine text, the color was very light, as long as it was more than ten meters away, it would almost look Not clear.
“I will be careful.” As soon as he thought of that guy, Downton was awkward. “I must squeeze his father from the seat of the mayor of Chenwu Town to see how he is still arrogant!”
Dagger Mine is a new ore vein discovered five years ago. It produces black steel ore. It takes about a day to walk from Chenwu Town.
Ore sales are an important source of wealth for Duke Prasido of the Western Realm, so in the town as a unit, free people are arranged to work in the mine every month.
Although Downton was only fifteen years old, he had already served twice in the Dagger Mine, so he was not unfamiliar with it. On the contrary, he was deeply impressed with fatigue, blood and whipping pain.
In order to achieve the amount of ore mining required by the Duke, those black-handed supervisors did not treat the miners as humans, and took the leather whip, all of which were pumped to death.
Of course, the situation of free people is slightly better. Compared with those slave miners, at least you don’t have to worry about being killed alive or exhausted.
The dagger mine is surrounded by mountains and is located in a canyon, overlooking from the sky, like a big mouth with a split. It is said that this is an artifact of the dragon family of thousands of years ago.
In order to transport the ore, the Duke of Placido used a lot of manpower and financial resources to excavate several mountain roads and tunnels between the peaks, but it was still difficult to go.
When Downton started climbing, he had encountered a team of twenty bullock carts, all of which were made of smelted black steel metal.
In order not to cause trouble, Downton put away the soul mount and ran forward, which is also regarded as exercise.
When rushed to the second tunnel, Downton caught up with a squad of one hundred people. They were all freemen from the small town of Lima. It was their turn to serve in the mine this month.
Thinking of the coming life, the townspeople were in a bad mood, one after another, swearing and complaining about heavy taxes.
“Hey, are you in a hurry to suffer?” It was a fifteen-year-old who spoke and saw the sweat of Downton running, he couldn’t help but talk.
Downton stopped, took out the kettle and took a sip.
“My name is Getze, what about you?” The teenager had freckles on his face, worried. “You are also going to the dagger mine for the first time? I heard that life and work there are very hard.”
Gotze’s father broke his leg and was unable to serve. He could only let his son come, otherwise he would be imprisoned in a water cell and demoted to slavery.
In addition to Goetze, the youngest is also 20 years old, so he can only talk to Downton if he can’t get in the way.
“This is the third time.” Downton put away the kettle and glanced at the lush green hilltop, “Walk for another hour and it will be here.”
“Third time? Doesn’t it mean that you entered the mine at the age of 13?” Getze was startled and looked Downton up and down, and found that he was tall and tall. Although the leather armor on his body was a little old, there was no sewing or damage. Traces, coupled with a pair of long military boots, looks cool.
“Damn Placido, it’s a vampire.”
“You will be content, I heard that he has recently doubled the tax on prostitutes, and will go to the barracks every month to serve the soldiers for five days free of charge.”
“Hey, life is getting sad.”
The townspeople sighed, no matter how much money they made, most of them had to flow into the placido’s vault, and they had to drink black bread and dry vegetable soup to survive.
No one sympathizes with Downton, because there are so many teenagers like him. If you want to live, you have to work hard with both hands.
“Aren’t you afraid?” Goetze looked down at Dunton with a light, nervous look. “I heard that the mines are very dark. Not only are the supervisors, but even the bullies bully people. If they offend them, they will die miserably.” .”
“Follow your foreman and do what he says, generally nothing will happen.”
Downton casually talked about the experience I learned before~www.mtlnovel.com~ Suddenly stunned, what should I do if I encounter those dark side rules this time? Silently bear, or fight back?
“Well, my father also said that the foreman’s words are everything, no matter what he asks me to do, don’t resist, otherwise you will lose money.” Getze let out a sigh of relief, it seems that it is not too dark.
Downton wanted to tell Goetze that it was not as simple as you thought, but looking at the rest assured teenager, he really didn’t want to break his smile.
Although the townsmen kept complaining, they couldn’t wait for time, but the dagger mine finally arrived.
Outside the canyon, there is a tall stone wall piled up with stones, stained with dried blood, and there are some bones and sticks nearby, which are the costs left by the robbers who attacked the mine and the indigenous tribes.
Looking at every thirty meters, there was a ten-meter-high tower, and the wire fence was also pulled by the stone wall, and Gece’s legs began to tremble. He thought the gate of the mine was like the mouth of a demon monster in hell. Ready to devour at any time.
“I’m going to enter the door, if you don’t want to be troubled, prepare five silver coins.” The leading civilian shouted, and with a smile on his face, he quickly walked to the door.
“Ah? Why do you want money?” Goetze was dumbfounded. He only had a dozen copper plates on his body. When he left home, his mother secretly stuffed him~www.mtlnovel.com~Welcome the readers to read, the latest and most The fastest and hottest serial works are all in ~www.mtlnovel.com~. u003c/au003e
