Chapter 116 The Prince Who Bullies Others
"Ding ding ding ding ding", the knocking sound rang in the mining area, the miners' door was working hard, and several supervisors stared viciously by the side, and when they saw anyone who didn't work hard, they immediately slapped them with a whip.
Old Mullen knocked down a piece of iron ore sweating, and moved to one side with difficulty, walking slowly, and was immediately hit with a whip.
"Snapped!"
Old Mullen turned his head and looked to the side, and saw a supervisor named Ross roaring cursingly: "Old Mullen, can you hurry up! If everyone is like you, this mine will close sooner or later!"
Old Mullen glanced at the other party and ignored him. He had been working here for several years and belonged to the oldest group of miners. So he is not afraid of supervising workers, he can do as much work as he can.
With a "bang", he threw the ore on the pile of ore. Old Mullen didn't even look at Ross, turned around and walked back to the mine wall and continued to dig silently.
After Ross was despised, he was a little angry, but he didn't dare to vent it. He also understands that he is just a small overseer, supervising miners, not slaves, and has no major power. If he really angered the miners, let the miners go on strike collectively, and the owner of the mine will fire him first.
The owner of the mine, Orrick, is not a fool, but a very shrewd businessman. He knows who is the tool to make money for him. The whole mine can be transferred without anyone, except the miners.
Ross glared at Old Mullen coldly, waved his whip like a demonstration, and then turned his head to look elsewhere.
Suddenly Ross raised his eyebrows, and saw the dust on the road outside the mine rising, followed by the sound of the hooves of the "Dada Da Da" brigade, and many cavalry came galloping.
This is?
Ross was stunned for a moment, and the next moment the cavalry came close, seeing the other party's fully armed appearance, his legs softened and he almost fell.
It's not... it's not here to rob the mine, right?
Soon, Ross saw a young nobleman in gorgeous clothes among the crowd, and then realized that the soldiers were just protecting each other.
But what is the other party doing here in the mine?
Ross didn't understand, but wisely ran to a two-story wooden building in the distant mining area and called the owner of the mine, Orrick.
In Ross's opinion, since the nobles are here, let the Orek mine owner deal with it. After all, the mine owner is also a nobleman. As for the title, he has forgotten.
Ross thought, quickly rushed into the second-story wooden building, and then ran into the bedroom.
The fireplace in the bedroom was burning brightly, the whole room was filled with scorching heat, and two gray bodies were rolling over on the large wooden bed.
A woman was whimpering constantly, and a man hummed like a wild boar.
"Hum...hmph..."
Ross was stunned.
The man on the bed also realized something, stopped, turned to look at Ross at the door, and shouted: "Get out!"
"Yes yes yes." Ross rolled and crawled and ran out, but the next moment he thought of something, he turned his head and said again, "O... Lord Orrick, someone is here, it seems to be a noble of high status... …”
"Get out!" Aurek, who was at a critical moment in the room, shouted, "No matter what kind of aristocrat, get out of here!"
"Uh, yes yes... I'll let them go..."
...
Mine in winter.
Silence, chill.
In the huge mining area, the percussion of "ding ding ding dong" has stopped, and many miners stopped working and looked aside.
Not far from one side, in the open space, a team of fully armed cavalry stopped, guarding two young people, both of whom looked noble, one was ornately decorated, and the other was a little plain.
And in front of the team, standing is the owner of the mining area, Orrick.
The mine owner, who was usually invincible in front of the miners, was shivering at this moment. He was hit with a horsewhip on his face, and the pain was burning.
But he had to force a smile. He raised his head, his neck was sore, but he continued to smile, looking at one of the cavalrymen and said, "It's the king... Your Royal Highness, welcome to my mining area."
At the same time as he was speaking, Aurek hated Ross, the overseer who had just passed on the message, in his heart. That was a pig brain.
"Oh, welcome me?" Groo said with a cold face, "Just now your subordinates passed on your words, let me go, not bad!"
Aurek shuddered when he heard this and almost collapsed to the ground. He is in his forties, and although he has not gained weight, his body has gone downhill. After doing the strenuous exercise in the morning, I was already very empty. After listening to the second message from the supervisor Ross, he ran over from the second-story wooden building in one breath. He was tired and panting. Now his whole body is soft.
However, Oric still insisted that he did not fall to the ground. After listening to Gero's words, he quickly explained: "Ge...His Royal Highness Prince Gero, it's all my fault. I just want him to get out, how dare you let His Royal Highness get out, it's too late for me to welcome you."
"Oh, do you still know me?" Groo asked aloud, his eyes flashing. Before, when he asked the overseer to send a message, he only indicated the identity of the prince, but did not say his name.
"Little...I know His Royal Highness Prince Gero." Aurek said with a shy face, trying to get closer. "During the awarding ceremony, I met Prince Gero once."
"During the conferring ceremony?" Grow was taken aback and asked, "So, you are still a noble? What kind of title?"
"The little one is indeed an aristocrat." Aurek said with a smile, "The title is the lowest... lord."
"Lord? Where is your territory? How big is it?"
"Small...no territory..." Orrick said embarrassedly, "There is only this mine."
"Oh." Groo understood and said, "I guess, your lord also bought it?"
"This...this..." Aurek smiled awkwardly and politely, "Indeed... yes."
"No wonder." Groo said, and then took a bit of a threat, "Then Oric, you should know the laws of the Emerald Kingdom, right? Noble titles belong to the royal family, and can be given to you because of your donation to the royal family. The title, but at the same time the title can be taken back at any time."
"This……"
"Pfft", Aurek really fell to the ground now, knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, "King Gero...His Royal Highness, Xiaozhen...really wrong, really accidentally offended You, please don't take back the title of the little one. Apart from this, no matter what punishment His Royal Highness has, the little one will recognize it."
"Oh, you are wise." Gro said, nodded with some satisfaction, feeling that he was still very safe in his work, and a little intimidation achieved his goal.
Turning his head and looking at Richard who was beside him, Grow's eyes fell on Orrick again, and he said, "If that's the case, then I won't be difficult for you. Next to me is Your Excellency Richard, who is here for you. The mine has some needs. He will come up with something later, you have to do your best to satisfy him, you know!"
"Yes, yes." Aurek nodded quickly, struggled to get up, and looked at Richard next to Gero, with a doubt in his heart.
In fact, he had seen Li Cha from just now, and after seeing Li Cha, he was surprised. He still knew a lot about the upper-class nobles and members of the royal family in the Emerald Kingdom. Maybe the nobles and members of the royal family don't know him, but he can name everyone and describe everyone's appearance with familiarity. This is the basic accomplishment of a small nobleman.
But Richard, who was next to the prince, he had never seen before, was not a member of the Emerald Kingdom nobles or the royal family at all. The dignified Prince Gero still looks respectful to him.
I really can't figure this out.
Li Cha didn't know Aurek's thoughts, so he jumped off the horse, used the spell "Lightness of the Wind" to unload his force, landed silently, and walked quickly to Aurek.
Although Gero's previous behavior was a proper playboy and a bully, Li Cha had no resistance. Because it was exactly what he needed. In this way, it can help him achieve some goals easily.
Otherwise, if he came alone, he would have to talk to the mine owner named Aurek in front of him, and he might have to make things difficult for him. At that time, it may be possible to make the other party submit by some powerful means, but it is very troublesome. After all, he just wanted to find the raw materials for making cobalt blue glass.
In this case……
