The Sun King's Evidence

In the next week, Ryan bought many things for exploring in the mine, including but not limited to tents, dry food, candles, lamps and other things.

To this end, Ryan also consulted some professionals, but the answers they gave made him dumbfounded.

This expert is a devout believer in Gagali, the god of mines. The method he taught Ryan was to tie a piece of Gagali prayer paper to the sparrow's leg before entering a new mine tunnel, and then they would Carry in a cage. If the sparrow dies during excavation, the miners believe they are approaching a new vein.

Ryan thought to himself that this method didn't sound very effective...

By the way, I have never heard of gods in mines.

Ryan spent more money to buy mercury bullets and some magic scrolls.

The week passed quickly in preparation and investigation.

Early January, Marienburg, No. 53 Amber Avenue, nightfall.

For the dark elf, this is already the twentieth day since she came to this house. After a period of recuperation, Orica's body has recovered. However, due to the vicious spells of the high elf and the effect of the slave contract , the soul of the dark elves is still very weak.

What surprised her was that the human really seemed to have no idea about her. He never asked her to do anything for twenty days, but just asked the maid who was there before to train her.

The dark elf wore a black and white maid uniform, and her long black hair that reached her waist was simply tied up with a white ribbon. After the weather and scars on her face were eliminated, her amazing beauty was truly revealed at home. In front of everyone, there is a kind of beauty that is mixed with wildness and arrogance, especially the high-lifted chest and the slender legs under the maid skirt. This is made to order at Queensberry Tailor Shop. A complete maid outfit, paired with white stockings and black short boots.

The most ironic thing for her is that she has been living the best life since she was born as a slave of this human being. She has never eaten such good food, and has never worn such good clothes. Dark The elves are perpetually in shortage of supplies and killing each other just to please Khaine, the elven god of war and murder.

However, it seems that because she has become a prisoner, she can feel that Kane has abandoned her.

It was snowing outside again, and Orika stood blankly at home holding a broom, looking through the glazed windows at the world filled with white snow.

"Olica? What are you looking at? What's so cool about snowing?" A male voice sounded from behind her. The dark elf subconsciously pretended that she had done nothing and focused on sweeping the floor.

Ryan was asking for trouble, but he didn't care about it and just continued: "You must be wondering why I haven't done that to you all this time?"

The Dark Elf refused to answer, and according to Emilia, she almost never spoke.

"That's because you are something out of my plan. I actually never planned to buy a dark elf maid." Ryan said to himself, not caring whether the dark elf listened: "Because I have always heard about the dark elf. The skin all over my body was as black as ink, and then I smelled like it came from the ground..."

"Ignorant... human!" Now Orica could no longer remain calm. The dark elf looked at Ryan with contempt: "You know nothing about Drucci."

When Ryan saw this, he snickered in his heart. He was not afraid of you crying or laughing. He was just afraid that you would not laugh without crying.

He knew that the dark elves were not black. Most of the low-level dark elves had pale skin due to lack of light. Only the dark elves with higher status had the opportunity to be exposed to the sun. Orica's skin color was not dark at all. Overall, she She is still very white, with a light wheat color, very similar to the healthy skin color respected by Chinese and Westerners in Ryan's previous life.

This shows that Orika's class is not low. She is most likely a dark elf noble. However, Ryan had already thought of it. If she was not a noble, there would be no chance of being captured by the high elf.

The Dark Elf realized that he was a little out of sorts, so he stopped talking, and Ryan ignored her. The Primarch had lunch with his three maids, and then said to Emilia who was washing the dishes: "Emily Ya? Just come up here and leave the dishes to them."

"Okay!" Amelia wiped her hands and followed Ryan to the second floor.

Opening the door to the study, Ryan sat behind the desk. He motioned for Amelia to sit next to him. The little maid blushed when she saw this situation, but she still pulled up her skirt and sat next to him: "Mr. Ryan?"

"Starting from tomorrow, I will go to Luigi Chamber of Commerce to explore the mithril veins and find out the real reason why countless miners are going crazy. I will leave it to you to take care of things at home." Ryan said, holding Emilia's little hand.

"Okay." Amelia also knew about this, and the little maid agreed seriously: "Mr. Lane, be careful."

"Yeah." Ryan didn't say anything else. The girl in front of him was actually very smart.

So early the next morning, Ryan was fully dressed. Under the envious eyes of the little maid Miranda, Ryan gave Amelia a big hug, and then left the house alone.

Following the road paved with thick stone slabs, along the Temple University District and the Civic District all the way to the South City Gate, Hadrian, the president of the Luigi Chamber of Commerce, Alfred the paladin, Estelle the half-elf ranger, and others have already arrived. arrive.

"Are you all here? Let's set off then. If anything happens, we'll talk about it on the way." Ryan was riding on his tall horse Pinecone. Seeing that everyone was here, he signaled to set off first and talk about the rest of the way.

Hadrian's mithril vein was some distance away from the city of Marienburg. A 15-kilometer journey might not have been a big deal in his previous life, but in this world it would take about two hours to reach it.

Two hours is enough to explain everything.

Hadrian was still dressed in a very gorgeous outfit today, but he changed his gold-plated boots into leather boots just because he was going out in the wild: "Mr. Lane, this is Mr. Weasley, he is the director of my Chamber of Commerce. He is also the person in charge of this mithril vein, let him introduce it to you."

"Hello! Mr. Lane, I am Weasley." A middle-aged man with flaming red hair came up from behind on horseback. He began to introduce the situation of the mine: "Last June, we purchased this mine from the Gentlemen's League Chamber of Commerce. Viscount Adelbert Casanova, the president of the Gentlemen’s Alliance Chamber of Commerce, gave this mine to us at a cheap price.”

"Since it's so cheap, there must be a reason. Didn't you think about it carefully at that time?" Estelle suddenly interjected. Half-elves are naturally at a disadvantage when facing high elves, but they automatically stand half a head taller in front of humans. .

"That's what I want to ask too." Ryan and Alfred walked side by side, and he was also curious.

"Hey, this is a trap within a trap." Hadrian said distressedly: "Viscount Casanova told us that there is a problem with this mithril vein, and there are many monsters in it, and he now has some Many other things require manpower, and I don't have the energy to organize patrols and mine guards anymore, so I gave this mine to us cheaply. I saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and after inspecting it several times, I thought it was okay, so So I bought this vein.”

Weasley then took over the conversation: "After the president bought this mine, we did organize a large number of patrols and guards, but we found nothing, except for killing a few rats and a few bats. Other than that, nothing else has been found in the veins."

"Seeing that the monsters had been swept away, we arranged for the miners to start mining this vein. The work went very smoothly at the beginning. In the first two months, except for one miner who made an operating error and was killed by a falling rock, no more incidents occurred in the mine. casualties."

"But this was the beginning of everything. In the next few months, miners began to have frequent accidents and casualties, and most of these casualties were caused by miners' careless operations. At the same time, miners continued to report that they could hear There was a deep sound, a low and muddy sound that resounded in their ears.”

"We reorganized the mercenaries and guards to enter the mine, but it was still the same. We found nothing except some small animals." At this point, Weasley also felt helpless: "At first we thought there was something wrong with the miners. , deliberately passive and sabotaging work, so the Chamber of Commerce changed two groups of miners, but the situation was the same."

At this point, both Ryan and Estelle became serious. Apart from the powerful psychic wizards, the only things that could unknowingly cause people to have mental breakdown were terrifying chaos creatures.

No wizard would stay in such a deep mine to conduct experiments.

"Then have you asked a priest to check for corruption? Are there any powerful chaotic creatures?" Alfred asked. Today's paladin was in full plate armor again, causing many people to sit down and look at him. The panting horse was sympathetic.

"Please, we asked a priest from the Church of Life to check the mine, but the priest told us that the chaos corruption in the mine is indeed stronger than that on the ground, but generally speaking, there is no What's the problem?" Hadrian said distressedly: "So we were really helpless, so we asked Mr. Lane to help."

"That's it, I understand." Ryan also felt strange, not a wizard? Not chaos either?

Two hours later, the group arrived at their destination.

There was no huge mine entrance as imagined, just a small house made of stone. Only after opening the house could everyone see the deep and bottomless mine passage below the house.

It is now early January, and the weather is still very cold. Even miners will not work in the mines at this time. The mines are currently closed. There are several workers from the chamber of commerce in the small house, eating around a big iron pot. Eating stew and drinking ale, I was so happy.

Seeing President Hadrian come in, several workers were so frightened that they immediately stood up: "President!"

"You eat so well?" Hadrian didn't pay attention to the actions of several workers. These people were only responsible for guarding the entrance to the mine. No one was working in the mine now, so they didn't need to be so nervous: "What's new? What's the situation?"

"No! President, we have always stayed near the entrance, taking turns even at night, and we don't feel anything special!" Several people said quickly, and at the same time, Hadrian noticed that several people were still having fun while eating. A heavily armed guard was on duty.

"Is that so?" Several people discussed it and realized that it would be useless to continue talking. Ryan said that there are some things that can only be known by going down and taking a look.

"I'm not strong enough, Mr. Lane. I think I may not be able to accompany you down to the mine." Regarding this, Hadrian seemed very sincere: "I will wait for you up there, and Weasley will accompany you down."

"Okay." Ryan knew that such a big businessman would not risk his life for this kind of thing. His strength was very poor and he would not go down with him. This was for sure.

Weasley called another guard who was familiar with the terrain of the mine to follow them down the mine. The group lit candles and walked towards the dark depths of the mine. Only Hadrian remained on the ground. The big trench merchant in the southern country watched Ryan and the others disappear under the dark stairs, and his eyes flashed for a while.

He never told Ryan that after several months of mining this mithril vein, he had recovered half of the cost. If Ryan failed, it didn't matter. At least the legendary powerhouse owed him a huge favor. .

If Ryan succeeds, that's even better, because the two have already established a solid partnership.

No matter what, he won't lose.

There are some things that money can hardly buy, such as the friendship of a human hero and a legendary knight.

…………

An hour later.

"Mr. Lane, we have arrived at Mine No. 1." Under the leadership of the guide and Weasley, the group had arrived at Mine No. 1, which was being mined. It was already several hundred meters away from the ground.

There are three mines in this mithril vein. Mine No. 1 is the most stable and the deepest. What is different from Ryan's imagination is that this mithril vein is very wide, with high rock formations on top. The sharp stalactites, cold water droplets drip from the top of the stalactites, forming huge icicles, it can be said that dripping water turns into ice.

The road for walking is very wide and the ground is very slippery. In order to facilitate the transportation of ore, Luigi's Chamber of Commerce laid tracks in the mine. Alfred, who was fully armored, exclaimed: "It's so big!"

The voice of the paladin echoed in the dark and deep mine, startling many creatures in the darkness. The sound of flapping wings sounded from the top of the rock formation. However, due to the darkness, the candle light source in everyone's hands was not strong. Can't see clearly what it is.

Ryan frowned. He thought it would be nice if he had a spell caster on his team. The zero-level magic light spell could solve this problem. His own psychically simulated spells could not leave his body too far away.

There is also Estelle. The half-elf looked up and immediately realized something was wrong: "It's a vampire bat! The vampire bat is coming towards us!"

"Ready to fight!"

Please give me all kinds of votes! !
