Chapter 67: Fine Gold Mine!

Bertram felt that he had gone crazy lately.

He is an official of Modo city hall. He was originally a private teacher of a noble family near the south coast. He was expelled because he hooked up with a charming mistress, and finally became a pirate's military adviser. He was one of the first batch of officials in Modo City, and now his status in the city hall is equivalent to that of a supervisor. He still remembers the scene of going to the temple for assessment when he accepted the appointment. At that time, he was really scared into a cold sweat, because a priest actually used the spell of detecting lies on him, and asked him about his identity in detail. Originally, he thought that a tainted person like himself would not be able to become an official class, but he did not expect that he would pass.

He was angry when he said it, at that time it was obviously that he hooked up with that noble lady, but he didn't expect that it would become him seducing the noble lady later.

On the surface, this nobleman looks sanctimonious, but in private, he is really full of bad things, and he has a set of methods to clean himself up. In any case, he entered the city hall from that time on, slowly sitting up from a clerk. Perhaps for Modo City, it doesn't care about using some talents with tainted experience.

Bertram has had a lot going on lately.

He came to a warehouse in the south of Modo City early this morning before dawn. There were already a lot of metal ingots piled up here, and there were three gray dwarves squatting and drinking beside them.

"Old Bronzebeard."

Bertram greeted the gray dwarf leader in front of him, and then said, "How is it? Have you finished counting this batch of metal?"

Since last week, a large number of metal ingots have secretly appeared in Modo City. It is not known where these metal ingots came from. Bertram has neither seen ships transporting goods from other places, nor Receive trade news from other sources. It was as if they had come out of nowhere and had been assigned to him by City Hall to deal with. As an old man in Modo City, Bertram knows very well that when encountering such things that he does not understand, he should not ask or think too much. He just needs to do the things explained above honestly, because some things Knowing too much is not good for you.

"The inventory is over."

Since coming to Modo City, Bertram found that the gray dwarves he met drank alcohol almost every day. Old Bronzebeard stood up and handed over a document, and said, "A total of 6,720 One piece of metal ingot, thousands more than the previous batch."

"but."

"The refining process of these metal ingots is still so bad! It's completely shoddy processing, and letting a dwarf apprentice do it better than them."

"But this batch of metal ingots seems to contain other special metals. I need to take them back and re-refine them. Maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries. The previous batch of metals have been re-melted, and you can send someone later Take it to the blacksmith's."

Bertram nodded upon hearing this, and then signed and sealed the document.

The duergars soon got to work, and with the help of a group of apprentices, they transported the ingots back.

"Boss."

A gray dwarf who looked drunk said: "These metal ingots have a lot of impurities. However, judging from the characteristics of the minerals, they don't seem to come from our world. Because we can't even recognize some metals."

Old Bronze Beard turned around and gave him a cold look, then whispered, "Don't ask questions about things you don't know."

"These metal ingots are not minerals of our world, they seem to come from below!"

Speaking of this, Old Bronze Beard pointed towards his feet.

Of course he wasn't referring to the Underdark, because the gray dwarves themselves lived in the Underdark, and they knew almost all the minerals in the Underdark. He was referring to the lower planes, which came from other worlds. When the gray dwarf heard the words, he was alerted immediately, then looked around nervously and stopped talking.

Since these metals are not from this world, but from the lower planes, no matter where they come from, there are too many things involved, and it is better for them not to know.

Bertram also felt that this batch of metal was strange, but he was a wise man and knew what to ask and what not to ask. After delivering this batch of metals, he immediately took people to the blacksmith shop, where the metals for secondary refining were neatly prepared. The steel was sent to the golem factory, the special metal was sent to the witch's residence, and the other batch was sent to the construction department of the city hall. Recently, when Modo City built a new batch of buildings, it seemed that steel was incorporated into them, and steel bars as thick as fingers were poured together in the buildings, which can greatly increase the firmness of the buildings.

It's already afternoon when all this is done.

Bertram was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He felt that he should go to the city hall tomorrow to ask for the deployment of manpower, because the quantity of metal sent in each batch was increasing, and he would not be able to keep up with this progress alone.

………………

Modo City. study.

An elegant half-elf woman in her thirties stood in front of Sauron. She was one of the officials of the city hall. She was different from other places. It might be Sauron's personal opinion, or it might be because of the people here. Witches have sovereignty, and Modo City allows women to become officials, of course they must have corresponding knowledge.

The half-elf lady in front of her was one of the candidates who passed the assessment. She was originally the housewife of a down-and-out noble family in Fallen Leaf City.

"My lord!"

The plump and charming half-elf lady in front of her rolled her eyes. She didn't dare to look directly at Sauron, but her eyes flickered. She said softly, "The delivery of the third batch of metal ingots has been completed. The gray dwarves found some associated rare metals. And a small amount of fine gold was found in the third batch of metal ingots."

"The production of the Iron Golem is on track, and the current supply of metal ingots is enough to last until next month."

"This is the statistical file."

"My lord can take a look!"

Sauron took the document and glanced at it, then handed it back and said, "Very good. I'll leave this to you. I'll call some people from the city hall to serve as your assistants another day."

"You can go down if you have nothing to do."

The glamorous half-elf lady took the document respectfully, her eyes lingered on Sauron for a moment, then she bowed her head and backed out somewhat dejectedly.

As the master of Modo City, the ruler of shadows, the protector of half-elves, and the true god who walks in the mortal world, I don’t know how many beautiful half-elves who want to test their beauty and climb onto Sauron’s bed. There is no accident, but I don't care about anything.

Mortals want him to be clear.

Just the immortal life and ageless face are enough for many noble ladies to try their best to climb into his bed and send them to his door clean and clean.

but.

Sauron has gradually adapted to the status of a god, and unless there are good enough candidates, it is almost difficult for him to be tempted again.

Sometimes it was like this. Before Sauron became a god, someone could easily walk into his life and become an important person around him, but if he missed this opportunity, it would not be so easy to get close to him.

"The Iron Golem is already in motion."

Sauron sorted out the documents in front of him, and then said to himself: "According to the progress of history, there are still three months to enter the fourth wave of [Elemental Unrest]."

"The catastrophe of the saint has already passed more than half without knowing it."

The gods are still trying their best to restrain themselves, but this restraint can't last long. With the appearance of the four major elemental gods, the real battle of gods also broke out.

The confrontation of wind and earth.

The collision of water and fire.

The four major elemental gods themselves were inherently repulsive. The gods of water and fire were the first to fight, and then the gods of wind and earth also fought. The struggle of the four ancient elemental gods directly provoked the nerves of all the gods, and also led to the outbreak of the battle between the gods.

Unlike other gods, the four ancient elemental gods really don't care about the life and death of the material plane.

Because they themselves don't have many believers in the material plane, and they rarely leave the elemental plane. After meeting on the material plane, it is almost a case of sparks hitting the earth.

"Need more golems!"

Sauron fell into deep thought, and murmured: "The army of Modo City can fight against mortals, but they cannot fight against the real devil army."

"The golem legion of the Arcane Empire period must be established."

"Only in this way can we prove against the devil, maybe it's time to contact those tower spirits in the Mechanical Realm of Clockwork Nirvana."

Sauron laid the groundwork very early.

Let those tower spirits leave freely, in order to use their power when necessary.

………………

The bottomless abyss, the third layer, the forgotten land.

The demon Sauron sits on the throne of the magnificent palace, and on his left and right are two glamorous succubi that exist as vases and maidservants. They kneel down obediently at Sauron's feet, rubbing his shoulders and legs for him from time to time. Bring food and wine to your mouth. In front of Sauron is the fearful demon goblin warlock, who is currently responsible for most of the accounts of the Gulumba Arena.

"Western mines need to triple the manpower."

Sauron looked down at the demon goblin in front of him and the yugoloth next to him, and said in a deep voice, "My servant found some fine gold in this mine."

"It can forge better weapons for us!"

"Now I appoint you as the supervisor of the Western Mine. You will lead all the more than 30,000 demons in the Sixth Army. My request is to more than triple the output of the Western Mine within a week."

It turned out that he hadn't done anything wrong.

The devil goblin warlock breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and quickly expressed his loyalty: "Your Excellency! There is no problem! I will take people there now!"

Just found pure gold!

It also thought that some of the money that he secretly embezzled secretly was discovered. It seems that he should be more careful in doing things in the future.
