Travel to another world and become a great sage

Chapter 85 The Mine of Northern Wolf Mountain

"My lord, leave this matter to me." Royce changed his mind and immediately asked for a job.

Although Caiaphas is very wise, he never imagined that this capable subordinate has become the servant of that human being. This call for battle is nothing more than a thief shouting to catch the thief, trying to secretly communicate with the "enemy".

"Royce, I know you're worried about the magic shop and want to make up for it. I've already said that you are not responsible for this incident. The cause is that bastard Weibull." Caiapha glanced at him. Royce's expressionless Natasha smiled slightly, "As for Hu Jiu, I have already planned it. In fact, it is too easy to assassinate this human being. I need his death to be more valuable. The eldest princess is currently watching leisurely. Since the excitement between Weibull and me is like this, let her also be troubled for a while."

"Understood." Royce bowed slightly, with a faint light in his lowered eyes.

........................

The next morning, the quarterly meeting began.

There were quite a few people present at the regular meeting. Hu Jiu knew only Caiaphas and Weibull. The others, such as the patriarch of the Karl family, Ford, the patriarch of the Darius family, Karl, and representatives of other small and medium-sized families, were only seen in that document. been.

Hu Jiu quietly turned on the force field induction, and took everyone's strength into his eyes one by one.

Female Boss Restia - Race: Arrogant Royal Family.Strength Rating: Unable to judge.

Butler Old Gauss——Race: Obsessive Demon.Strength assessment: second level.

Caiapha the Laughing Tiger——Race: Great Demon.Strength assessment: Tier [-].

Trash Talker Weibull - Race: Big Devil.Strength assessment: Tier [-].

Ford, the patriarch of the Karl family - race: big devil.Strength assessment: second level.

Karl, the patriarch of the Darius family - the great demon of the race.Strength assessment: second level.

........................

Now that Hu Jiu's own strength has reached the second level, when using the force field sensor, Caiafa's strength assessment is no longer "indeterminate", but displayed as the third level; and Restia's strength is still undetermined.Hu Jiu is quite proficient in using force field sensing. He knows that this skill can analyze the strength of a level higher than his own. If it exceeds it, it will show that he cannot judge.

Restia is the most powerful person present, followed by Caiapha who should reach the level of the devil king, and Weibull and the representatives of several small families are the worst. As Restia said, Weibull is really weak right now I can't kill him, otherwise where can I find a security officer with such low strength and brains?

Restia's analysis of the arrogant royal family made Hu Jiu a little curious. I remember that Tiana once mentioned that there are currently three major royal family empires in the Double Moon Continent. They are the fallen angel empire representing "arrogance" and the money empire representing "greed". , representing the Shadow Empire of "Desire".

During the heyday of the Shuangyue Continent, there were seven great empires. For thousands of years, only these three royal families remained, and the other four royal families either joined or disappeared.

Arrogance, greed, lust...it sounds familiar.

It's just that Restia is only 23 years old, and her undetermined strength is at least the Great Demon King. How did she practice?Is there a system of some kind?

Also, old Gauss, as a demon, should have a normal upper limit of middle level, that is, the first level. Now it is displayed as the second level, and it seems that he is another guy with a mutated bloodline.

Hu Jiu was observing, when a concerned voice sounded: "Your Excellency, the Registrar, I heard that you were ill a while ago, are you feeling better now?"

This voice did not comfort Hu Jiu, because it was Caiaphas the smiling tiger who uttered the voice. He asked this question yesterday, and today he deliberately asked it again, probably because of ulterior motives.

"Lord Caiaphas, thank you for your concern." Hu Jiu got up and saluted, "Actually, it's all because of my poor health. I have been ill for a long time, and I haven't recovered yet."

Weibull next to him showed undisguised contempt—weak human beings, who have only been in the Double Moon Continent for a long time, can't stand the disease, and it is best to die of illness!
"Be sure to take care of your health," Caiaphas nodded meaningfully, "otherwise, how can the Eldest Princess entrust you with more important duties in the future. In fact, I have always been very optimistic about you."

Look after your sister!Hu Jiu muttered to himself: Who doesn't know you?Calling brother, touching the knife behind his back.

At this time, Restia spoke: "Okay, let's stop gossip, let's start."

The quarterly regular meeting is mainly to summarize the situation of the territory in this quarter and make a rough arrangement for the work of the next quarter.

The previous summary is nothing more than an account of some major events, mainly based on the territory log that Hu Jiu is in charge of.After Restia finished her summary, when she was asking everyone for their plans for the next quarter, Caiafa stood up first and said, "I lost 100 yuan of rattan stones to the little princess in the air competition last time, because it took time to get them together. In addition, I have some personal affairs in the Chiyou territory, so I went out for a long time last month. After attending this regular meeting, I also want to ask Her Royal Highness for at least two months of leave. After finishing some affairs, Return to Dark Moon to serve again, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Restia nodded slightly. In fact, everyone knew that asking for leave was just a formality. Her Royal Highness wished that the financial officer would go out as long as possible, and it would be best not to come back.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Don't worry, I will arrange all the work at hand before asking for leave." Caiaphas smiled, said some work arrangements, then glanced at Hu Jiu who was recording, and said: "I will return to the An Yue, only then did I know that there is an additional scribe next to His Royal Highness the eldest princess. It is the human Hu Jiu who has performed outstandingly in the master challenge and air competition. In fact, I always think that Hu Jiu is very talented, and the eldest princess knows people His vision is really extraordinary."

When Caiaphas said this, almost everyone's eyes fell on this little scribe. Hu Jiu knew that this guy must have no good intentions, so he was secretly vigilant. Knowing that Caiaphas praised Hu Jiu like this, there must be a follow-up.

Sure enough, Caiaphas shook his head and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. In fact, in my opinion, the scribe is overqualified. Hu Jiu is an apprentice of Master Anshelek. He is proficient in pharmacy and is bold and careful. Believe watching Anyone who has participated in the Masters Challenge and Air Competition has a deep understanding. I plan to recommend Hu Jiu to be in charge of more important tasks. I don’t know what the eldest princess thinks?”

Restia originally expected that Caiafa would make a fuss about Hu Jiu, probably to suppress or exclude her, but she didn't expect it to be a recommendation. She frowned and said, "What job do you want to recommend Hu Jiu to be in charge of?"

Caiafa smiled and said: "The mining problem has been a chronic disease that has plagued the Dark Moon Territory for many years. As the financial officer in charge, I would like to recommend him as a mining officer to go to Beilang Mountain to show off his talents and manage the mining industry. I don't know what His Highness thinks. How about it?"

North Wolf Mountain!Mines officer!A cold light flickered in Restia's eyes, and she immediately understood Caiapha's sinister intentions.

Not only Restia, but everyone present understood the purpose of Caiafa's "kindness" recommendation.

The mines at Beilang Mountain were originally Dark Moon’s largest source of resources and wealth. However, over the past few hundred years, underground monsters have been rampant and have claimed the lives of many miners. The previous mining officer is said to have disappeared in the mine. Not even a dead body could be found.Now there are thieves invading from time to time, and the degree of danger is extremely high.

Not to mention a powerless human being like Hu Jiu, even if a high-level demon goes there, it is very likely that he will never return. Caiaphas made it clear that he wanted to put human beings to death.

Sure enough, the human scribe suddenly showed a strange expression, and was silent for a while.

When Weibull heard this proposal, he was the first to jump out in favor of it, regardless of the recent hostility with Caiaphas forces.

The Darius family immediately expressed their support for Caiaphas' opinion, and those families who fell in favor of Caiaphas agreed one after another. Many people looked at Hu Jiu with gloating eyes, as if it was already a corpse.

No one knew the real reason for Hu Jiu's weird expression—Beilang Mountain was exactly where he wanted to go, and Caiaphas, like Alice, knew the fake mind-reading skills, right?
At this time, the old Ford of the Carl family said: "The mining industry in Beilang Mountain has always been an important source of income for our dark moon, but in recent years, disasters have been frequent, there are thieves outside, and monsters inside, and it is almost impossible to mine. This human has no strength. , I think Lord Caiaphas himself is the best candidate, if you can go there in person, you can definitely solve the hidden dangers and bring Dark Moon back to life."

"Finance and economy are the foundation of a territory. I am the person in charge of this work. If it is downgraded to a mine, what will happen to the financial situation and who will take this responsibility?"

There was a hint of threat in Caiaphas' words, and he sneered: "Old Ford, your son Tim was the former mining officer. I also feel sorry for his disappearance, but it does not mean that the clerk who is valued by the eldest princess It will be the same, are you questioning the eldest princess's human eyesight? Or are you taking revenge on me for not letting Tim go to the mine? You know, I am out of a public heart, for the development of the entire Dark Moon!"

Old Ford was trembling with anger. The Karl family was one of the oldest families in Dark Moon, and had always been incompatible with Caiaphas, an outsider.

Two years ago, Old Ford's eldest son Tim was appointed by Caiaphas as a mining officer, but he disappeared in the mine and has not been heard from since. He has been identified as a dead person, so he hates Caiaphas to the bone.Several other small families who supported Restia also expressed their opposition, and the meeting room became noisy for a while.

Restia's icy eyes stared coldly, as if trying to pierce Caiapha's heart, but it's a pity that her eyes can't kill, otherwise Caiapha's smirking face would have become a sieve long ago.

Caiafa ignored Restia's anger, and just looked at Hu Jiu with a habitual smile—once this human being dies, Princess Square will decline sooner or later, and Restia will also lose a business partner. Important help, morale will definitely be greatly affected.

"I would like to go to the mines."

The noisy voices suddenly quieted down, and they all fell on the standing humans.
