Chapter 389 390. Sudarso Mithril Mine 2

Roy stood on the mine cart, with crushed ore under his feet, looking at the hundreds of mixed elf prisoners in front of him and said:

"Of course, if you still want to stay in the mine, we are very welcome. Currently, the mine is preparing to recruit manpower. In addition to the mine guards recruiting a group of elf warriors, if the mine wants to continue to operate, it also needs some miners. Okay, half-blood elf miners who are willing to stay and work can receive a salary of 150 kol per week, two free meals a day, and one day off per week..."

Before the mixed-blood elven miners in the Mithril Mine recovered from the joy of being free, they heard that Roy had begun recruiting miners and guard warriors.

Although these mixed-blood elf miners are also very excited, they are not like the mixed-blood elf miners in the second mine, who are too thin to travel together on the Pagisto Plateau, and they even dare not face the future life alone.

These mixed-blood elven miners in the Sudarsonan mithril mine are in good physical condition, they just don't have freedom.

Now that they heard that Roy promised to let everyone leave in public and give everyone a free travel bag, most of the mixed-blood elf miners swarmed towards the front yard warehouse.

Roy asked the mixed-blood elf warrior to open the door and ask these mixed-blood elf miners to come out of the backyard.

When the gray dwarves saw the half-blood elf miners carrying their luggage and preparing to leave the mine, they all put down their work, leaving behind their iron drills and mining picks. They also rubbed their hands and mingled with the crowd, preparing to mingle with the half-blood elf miners. Leave the mithril mine together.

But when the gray dwarf came to the door of the backyard, he was stopped by the mixed-blood elf warriors.

Several gray dwarves gathered together and asked the mixed-blood elf warrior guarding the door:

"Why are we still working here when they can leave?"

"Because they are elves, and you are a bunch of damn bandits. Go back to work quickly. If I find you lazy later, you will inevitably be whipped." Kaka walked over from the side and stood beside the mixed-blood Beside the elf warrior, he said to several unconvinced gray dwarves.

The gray dwarf probably expected this to be the case, and walked back with an angry look on his face without saying a word.

The mixed-blood elf miners walked out of the mine in the backyard one after another. When they saw the garden-like courtyard, everyone couldn't help but slow down.

Keep walking along the corridor, and sure enough, at the entrance of the warehouse, several elf warriors are loading fruits and elf biscuits into linen pockets.

Seeing a group of mixed-blood elf miners coming from the corridor, Walker stood up and shouted:

"Everyone must line up carefully. Each person can only take one share. You are not allowed to snatch other people's travel bags. If we discover any bad incidents, we will cancel the right of the responsible party to regain his freedom!"

When the First Mine first distributed travel bags, bad things like this happened.

Although the mixed-blood elf miner who robbed his companions of food was punished afterwards, once this happened, it would have a very bad impact.

So when Walker distributed the travel bags this time, he gave a reminder to every mixed-blood elf miner to prevent them from doing stupid things.

The mixed-blood elf miners were all waiting in line to receive travel bags. When they saw that the people putting fruits in the travel bags were some mixed-blood elf warriors wearing armor, the bolder half-blood elf miners couldn't help but ask them:

"Are you the soldiers of the mine guard?"

Several mixed-blood elf warriors raised their heads, looked at these compatriots who were in good mental and physical condition, and responded politely:

"Um!"

The mixed-blood elf miners found that these elf warriors were easy to talk to, and they immediately became energetic and continued to ask:

"Where are you from?"

Several mixed-blood elf warriors looked at each other and gave the same answer: "Santa Ana Mountain."

Someone among the mixed-blood elf miners immediately exclaimed and asked: "Are you mixed-blood elves on the plateau?"

"What? Don't they look alike?" Several mixed-blood elf warriors stood up and responded with a smile.

"I heard that a gathering place was built over the Santa Ana Mountains, and a resistance army was set up to fight against headhunters on the plateau?"

"The resistance has been disbanded, and most of the members have now joined the mine guards."

A mixed elf warrior responded.

After saying that, he puffed up his chest and let these bumpkins take a good look at the standard armor on his body.

The mixed-blood elf miner asked with some envy: "Then can I join you?"

"Of course, but it requires some simple tests. If you can convince Roy, there is no need for tests." The mixed elf warrior replied.

…

The mixed-blood elf miners who got the travel bags did not stay at the mithril mine. They walked directly out of the gate of the manor...

In front of us is a rolling mountain range. There are no woods on the slopes, only some rocks, grass, bushes and short trees.

With excitement and anxiety, a group of mixed-blood elf miners strode southward along a shallow mountain road.

…

No half-blood elf is willing to stay as a miner.

However, some mixed-blood elves from the Pagisto Plateau expressed their desire to join the mine guards.

If we want to form a guard team for the Mithril Mine, we still need a lot of manpower.

Roy originally wanted to recruit some elf warriors from the miners, but unfortunately many mixed-blood elves decisively left the mines after gaining freedom.

So this time Roy only recruited less than fifty mixed elf warriors, which was less than half the number he expected.

The owner of this mithril mine should be a very shrewd businessman. He knows that the mixed-blood elf miners are his money-making tool, and the shelter and food provided to them are not bad. These mixed-blood elf miners are strong, but they don’t have Just freedom.

After they were freed, they did not want to continue wasting their lives in the mithril mine, so it was reasonable to leave the mine.

After sending away the last few mixed elf miners, the door of the mine was slammed shut with a dull sound.

Roy and Kaka turned around and walked back to the courtyard. They sat down on the bench next to the fountain in the courtyard. A group of mixed-blood elf warriors were already on duty at various sentries in the mithril mine.

Kaka was in a very happy mood. He was very curious about rescuing the mixed-blood elf miners. In addition, as a mixed-blood elf from the Partington plane, Kaka felt that doing so was very honorable, especially when he returned to the world in the future. In the villages south of the Rampart Mountains, you can brag about this feat when chatting with your friends.

But he was also worried about Roy.

There were too many mixed-blood elf miners who left today. Not only could the ore mining work not continue normally, but there were also some difficulties in forming a guard team at the mine.

Roy would have to draw at least 150 mixed-blood elf warriors from the guard team he brought to form a guard team strong enough to protect the mine.

But Roy only brought two hundred mixed-blood elf warriors from the second miner this time. He used more than half of them at once. How could the mithril mine behind them accept them?

"Roy, are we too hasty in releasing all the mixed-blood elf miners this time? In fact, we can release these miners in batches, so that we can at least maintain the normal operation of the mine..." Kaka said to Roy said.

"The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion entered the Pagisto Plateau originally to drive away the plateau headhunters and allow the mixed elves who were enslaved by the mine owners to regain their freedom, so there is nothing wrong with what we did."

Roy picked up a cup of lemon tea and took a long sip.

Except for the large chimney in the backyard that continues to billow smoke, the environment in this manor is still very good.

Captain Walker walked out of the corridor and reported the arrangements for the night watch. Roy nodded and said:

"That's fine, but we must send someone to keep an eye on the gray dwarves tonight. When they see the mixed elves leaving the mine, there must be many gray dwarves who are psychologically unbalanced. At this time, we must be careful of them escaping secretly."

"Got it!" Captain Walker took the order and left.

"Roy, do you think those gray dwarf and mixed-blood elf miners never think about escaping? There is an 800-meter-deep mine here. If you want to escape, you only need to climb over the fence in the backyard and leave... Whether it's a mixed elf or a gray dwarf, the fence in the backyard is not very high..." Kaka asked Roy in a low voice.

"Of course they want to leave, but this is located in the hinterland of the Pagisto Plateau, and there should be camps of plateau headhunters around it. Once they escape and are discovered, they may face the pursuit of the headhunters. Once they are caught, the consequences may be It’s going to be miserable.”

Roy stretched his waist and said:

"Another reason is that there is a very complete management system here, which is at least much better than those of those gem mines. When we took over the Mithril mine, Captain Blaise told me that it turned out that The owner of the mine implemented the orcs' method of managing slaves, which is that gray dwarves in the same group supervise each other. If any gray dwarf in the group makes a mistake, all the gray dwarves in the group will be punished."

"How could this be possible?" Kaka said in disbelief.

"This method must work well, right?"

Roy turned his head and glanced at Kaka.

Kaka didn't speak anymore. After a while, he asked Roy again:

"Roy, no one is mining in the mithril mine now. What are you going to do?"

"I can't help it! If you can't handle things yourself, you have to report them to the superiors. What are the senior officials in the army doing?" Roy said with a smile: "I've already made a draft, and I will put the mithril Report the difficult situation in the mine and let them find a way to find a group of absentees for me!"

"You...don't think you want to buy some Dark Moon Elf prisoners, right?" Kaka was dumbfounded.

"What use are the Dark Moon Elf prisoners? They are not good at mining, and they are not easy to manage. I would like to apply to the legion for a group of gray dwarves. Aren't they the best at mining?"

Roy replied.
