Chapter 773 Dark Elf

Of course, Arnold could hear that Audrey's implication was to question that he did not really have the right to discover the cold iron vein.

It's just that the mineral deposits that have been explored by the dark elves have been transformed and regarded as their own achievements.

A dark elf in the Underdark, who proclaims himself the master of the underground world.

The dark elves consider themselves sovereign over the mineral deposits in the underground world, if not all of them, at least the mineral deposits in the surrounding area of ​​the Oaknell Dungeon.

However, the human kingdom on the surface world has not yet established formal diplomatic relations with the dark elves, so it does not recognize the above-mentioned sovereignty of drow.

In this situation of talking differently, even if Arnold's team really regarded a thriving drow mine as an unowned mine and marked it on the map as their own credit, it would not be considered a lie.

It's just that colonial companies usually don't acquire mining rights for mines that actually already have owners.

Otherwise, it would cost a lot of money, and the underground aborigines occupying the mine would have to be dealt with before the official start of construction. The drow is one of the most difficult underground aboriginal forces to mess with. The price paid for expulsing the drow is likely to exceed the mine vein itself The value of this money is too unjust.

Audrey's questioning just hit Arnold's heart.

"I dare to swear to the gods, my companions and I have the undisputed right to discover this cold iron vein."

After Arnold swore seriously, he changed the subject and lowered his tone.

"It's just that, while we were exploring the mine veins, a drow hunting team broke into our camp, claiming that the place was their family's territory, and arbitrarily asked us to 'go back to the surface world'."

"Of course we couldn't swallow this breath. We had a conflict with the other party when we disagreed, and even killed the drow noble who led the team."

Arnold pointed to the dark elf that was made into a specimen, and then told what happened at that time.

"After the battle, we were all injured. Considering that the dungeon of Oaknell is nearby, the escaped drow will soon take revenge with a large team, so we had to interrupt the exploration work and leave the camp in a hurry."

"We left too hastily, some mining tools and ore specimens were not taken away in time."

"If the drows come back to seek revenge and find these tools, ores, and nearby excavation traces in our camp, I'm afraid they will realize the existence of cold iron veins, and the possibility of illegal mining cannot be ruled out."

"However, from a legal perspective, this does not affect our right to discover ore mines and priority mining rights."

"It's a bit funny that you show the terms of human law on property rights to a mine that is likely to be occupied by drow."

Holden shook his head and sneered, ruthlessly dismantling Arnold's mentality of being strong but capable.

"What do you mean by that?"

Arnold flushed and glared angrily at the poet.

"I am a human being, a citizen of the overseas provinces of the Holy Ashean Empire. If I don't use the laws made by my own country to defend my rights, why should I obey the laws made by those black skins!"

"Yes yes yes! You are right! But so what?"

Holden retorted with sharper words.

"The imperial decrees cannot control the Underdark, let alone restrain the greedy and cruel dark elves."

"You said that you legally enjoy the property rights of the Cold Iron Mine. I have no objection, but you are really able to mine this mine and dare to exercise your rights?"

Arnold was left speechless by his question.

Laws are one thing, enforcement is another.

The dark elves, like a group of lawless lads, forcibly occupied Arnold's house.

The law is in favor of Arnold taking back his home, but no court will enforce the ruling for him.

The verdict Arnold received was nothing more than a dead letter, and in the end he still had to drive away Lao Lai by himself.

It was obvious that he didn't dare to expel those domineering old men, otherwise he would risk his own life if he was not sure.

In such a situation, to avoid angering the dark elves, the Colonial Company is unlikely to take out a piece of ice like the blue ice mine discovered by Klein, even if it admits that Arnold's team has the right to discover the cold iron mine. A lot of money came to buy the cold iron mine near Drow City.

Arnold's so-called mine rights and interests cannot be exchanged for real money at all. The only use is probably to mix a few practice points.

Holden's aggressive ridicule made Arnold lose his face, and he suppressed his anger and refuted loudly.

"Taking a step back, even if the cold iron ore veins we discovered can't be exchanged for actual benefits for the time being, it's better than a guy like you who can only play tricks and hasn't found any ore veins?"

"That's impossible!"

In front of so many people, Audrey originally wanted to save some face for Arnold.

However, Arnold aimed his gun at Holden. As a sister, Audrey couldn't bear it.

"The green ice specimens we turned in were excavated from a blue ice vein."

"The valuation of this vein is at least twice that of the cold iron vein discovered by Arnold's team."

"It needs to be emphasized that there are no dark elves or other factors that may hinder the mining of the blue ice veins we discovered, and there are no legal disputes."

"In fact, we have already transferred the rights and interests of the ore lode to the joint discoverers, a professional prospecting team from the dwarven stronghold of Nidaville and employed by the Midgard Mining Group, and thus obtained a large amount of cash income."

Hailar continued what Audrey said, and added something with a smile.

"Uncle Dwarf offered a very generous price, and we are all very satisfied with this deal."

"Have you really discovered a green ice mine with a valuation of more than 200 Gold Duga, and successfully sold the mining rights?"

Not to mention that Arnold couldn't believe it, even Mr. Locke was dubious.

A group of expedition teams mainly composed of rookies, who participated in the internship mission for the first time, were hit by a pie falling from the sky?

If this is true, it would be great luck!

"I dare to guarantee with my reputation and belief that everything I said is true."

Audrey looked solemn.

"Mr. Locke, if you don't believe me, you might as well send a magical text message to the respectable Mr. Klein Stove right now to ask him for relevant details."

Mr. Locke was still hesitating, but Arnold couldn't hold back anymore, and hastily took out a "communication stone" enchanted with a 3-ring "SMS".

"Mr. Klein, I am an ordinary student at Midgard University, and I would like to ask you something..."

Arnold expressed his doubts, activated the communication stone, and sent the message.

After waiting for less than two minutes, there was a wave of magic power in front of Arnold, and a small ball of red light emerged, which was the reply letter from the dwarf prospecting captain.
