Chapter 2105 Mine Crisis

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Joan heard whispers in her ears. The voices of the two women in the conversation sounded very familiar.

Yawning, Joan sat up from the bed and subconsciously asked, "Medea, what time is it?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he found two people sitting beside the bed, besides Medea, there was also a gray bird who didn't know when to come back.

"It's only past five o'clock on the surface." Medea shook the gold pocket watch purchased online at him, "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer."

"I'm sorry, Dr. Vader, maybe I was talking too loudly just now and interrupted your rest."

Hui Niao expressed apology on his beak, but the half-smile expression on his face made Qiao An feel a little embarrassed. He quickly explained to her that after taking the blood mead, he got drunk and took a nap on Medea's bed. What a bad thing to do...

"What does the 'bad thing' that Dr. Vader refers to specifically mean? I'm so stupid that I can't understand it."

Gray Bird suppressed a smile and deliberately asked, which made Qiao An's cheeks burn with embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject.

"Grey Bird, I heard you chatting with Medea just now while half asleep and half awake. If I heard correctly, you seem to be worried about the safety of the magic crystal mining area?"

Gray Bird put away his smile, nodded and said, "This is exactly what I came back to discuss with Miss in a hurry. It just so happens that Dr. Vader is here too, so I won't have to write you a letter to report."

After hearing what she said, Joan realized the seriousness of the situation, and quickly asked, "What happened to the mining area?"

"This starts with the surface world. Recently, the conflict between the aborigines and the colonists in the Midgard region has become increasingly fierce. In order to fight against the westward expansion of the colony, the Asa people issued an appeal, calling on the aborigines of all ethnic groups in the New World, including Humans, elves, dwarves and even giants, regardless of race or tribe, unite to form a grand alliance aimed at resisting colonial aggression, has Dr. Vader heard of this?" Gray Bird asked solemnly.

"I've heard about it, but how could the conflict in the surface world involve the magic crystal mining area in the underground world?" Joan asked puzzled.

"The magic crystal mining area is one of the most important industries for the colonists of Midgard. According to Mr. Hodge, the gold banknotes issued by the Ashan Empire use the assets of the mining area as collateral. If the mining area is destroyed, work will be forced to stop The reduction in production will not only affect the fiscal revenue of the colonial government, but also the mainland of the empire on the other side of the ocean. The imperial gold currency, which has been declining recently, is bound to usher in a new year of decline, and even lead to the financial collapse of the imperial government. The country is paralyzed."

Joan's face changed when he heard it: "Grey Bird, Mr. Hodge told you these things?"

With Hui Niao's own knowledge and experience, it is impossible to have such a profound insight into the close relationship between the imperial gold banknote and the magic crystal mining area.

Gray Bird nodded first, and then said: "Mr. Hodge knew that I was not interested in these things, but he still analyzed them in front of me. He didn't say them to me, but he hoped that I could explain these things. Tell it to Dr. Vader, hinting to you that the mining area is in danger, and I hope you can help."

"Nick Hodge, this guy has too many ghosts, I don't like it very much." Medea snorted coldly, "If you have something to ask Joan for help, why don't you make it clear in person, and have to beat around the bush and let others take the lead?"

"Mr. Hodge is worried that Dr. Vader refuses to help. As for asking me to bring a message, he may have misunderstood and thought that I have some special relationship with Dr. Vader..." Gray Bird blushed.

"Ah? What kind of special relationship?" Medea suddenly became alert, "You two, are you hiding some little secret from me?"

"No more!" Gray Bird stomped her feet in shame, "It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Since it was a misunderstanding, why didn't you clarify it to Nick Hodge?" Medea asked.

The blush on Gray Bird's face deepened, and he said in a low voice, "I'm embarrassed to explain, this kind of thing will always get darker and darker..."

Joan nodded and felt the same: "Yes, Gray Bird and I are both introverted and clumsy people. Some misunderstandings are really hard to explain. It's better to keep silent. You'll find out that's not the case."

Gray Bird let out a long sigh of relief, looked up and smiled gratefully at him.

"Hey! You kid also said that he can't speak, isn't that good at making girls happy?!" Medea punched Joan on the shoulder and said angrily, "Why are you not gentle to me at all? Considerate? Too eccentric!"

"If you will be diligent..."

"Forget it! Don't try to coax me into working with sweet words!" Medea made a decisive choice.

Joan was too lazy to talk about her, and continued to ask Gray Bird: "What else did Mr. Hodge say?"

"Mr. Hodge received the news that the Walsung family in Stone Pillar Town has already cooperated with the dark elves in the Oaknell Dungeon, the gray dwarves in the Glastor Dungeon, the stone giants in the Brimir Dungeon, and the labyrinth ruins. The Tauren tribe got in touch and hired the four major forces to jointly attack the magic crystal mining area."

Gray Bird's tone was low.

"Are you sure it's not a rumor?"

Joan really couldn't figure out how the Asa people in Stone Pillar Town colluded with the forces of the "Underdark Region", and how high the price was to get the dark elves, stone giants, gray dwarves, and tauren to join forces to attack the magic crystal mining area.

"It is said that in addition to paying a huge commission, the Asa people also made a promise - the rough crystals obtained from the looting of the mining area will all be shared by the looters!"

Gray Bird sighed, with a sad look on his brows.

"In fact, all the tribes in the underground have long coveted the wealth of the magic crystal mining area. It's just that they couldn't handle the mining area alone in the past. We just took this opportunity to join forces and divide up the fat."

Joan nodded, and had no choice but to let go of his luck and take seriously the crisis facing the magic crystal mining area.

"The four major forces, when are you going to do it?"

"It's not clear yet, but it's likely within the last few days." Gray Bird replied worriedly.

"Relying on the security personnel of the mining area alone can't stop the siege of the four forces." Medea worried that Gray Bird would be implicated, and asked with concern: "Is it too late for you to resign as the security director of the mining area?"

Gray Bird turned his back, took a deep breath, and replied in as calm a tone as possible: "It's shameless to fight it out, there's always time, but I want face!"

Medea heard the resentment in her words, hurried over to hold her hand, and said with a wry smile: "Look at your fiery temper, you will blow up at once! I didn't let you run away... well, that's what I mean , after all, your own safety is the most important thing."
