Act 41 Silver Mine (2)

"That's hard to say," the owner of the hotel lowered his body, got closer to a few people and whispered, "but if you are not short of money, you can try to find some famous local adventure groups; those adventurers have been to the forest. I’ve been successful many times, and I’ve even drawn a map of the area around here——”

"map?"

"It's worth a lot of money."

Brando nodded and asked about the local situation. Mainly about the workers' schedules, and some patrol time of the soldiers in the mining area, etc. - Of course, he was under the guise of an adventurer - but the owner of the hotel regarded him as a noble scion who was ignorant of the world and came out to have fun. .

Neither of them paid attention to the misunderstanding, and the conversation went on harmoniously. Inquiring about this information did not take up much of Brando's time. After a short moment, he turned back - at this time, several ladies had found a place to sit down in the hall. Brando looked over there and was about to walk over, but before that, he stopped.

A dwarf stood in front of him.

"Please give way." Oldham, who was already a little drunk, squinted his small eyes. He could barely see the young man in front of him clearly - he seemed to be the one who came in before, he thought - but this was not important, he Just want to know:

What is the intention of the other party standing in front of me?

The old dwarf shook his head trying to figure it out.

But Brando was a little bit dumbfounded. It was as if the road was obviously one foot wide, but this damn dwarf had to stand in front of him and say that he was blocking his way.

It's just that he doesn't have time to cause trouble here now, so he hesitates and steps aside. But at this moment, Brando was stunned.

The dwarf's face was so red that Brando initially thought it was just a hill dwarf that was very common in the area. However, after taking a closer look, Brando noticed the light gray skin color on the other person's arm.

The young man's heart beat heavily.

Rune dwarves.

He almost thought he was awake, and almost pinched his cheeks to confirm whether he was drunk or the other person was drunk.

The rune dwarves are not as prominent in the history of Warnd as the silver elves. They come from the underground of Jorgendigon just like the cavemen. However, unlike ordinary underground peoples, they are underground silver people who have disappeared long ago.

Legend has it that the rune dwarves were wiped out in a war before the end of the Age of Chaos.

Another legend is that this nation still has a city on the other side of the mercury sea in the underworld. But no matter which one, Brando didn't expect to see a living rune dwarf here. That's right, light gray skin is their most conspicuous feature.

Other than that, no other dwarf in the world has such a complexion.

These dwarves from the Silver Age were the builders of the Plains of Steel, and their architectural art was as famous as the craftsman wizards of Buga in the Age of Chaos. However, the rune dwarves are not satisfied with this evaluation - it's just that one of their creations is underground and the other is in the sky, and there is never a chance to compete with each other.

But Brando had calmed down a bit after being briefly stunned.

It may also be a bloodline that is wandering outside. Brando knows that no matter what their characteristics are, each race has some adventurous and wandering ethnic groups.

However, most of these remnants only inherit more or less the same bloodline. As for how much cultural inheritance is left, only God knows; the remnants of ancient times are actually not a minority in Warnd, but there are many who even He doesn't even know his origins.

It's like if Brando hadn't seen the description of the rune dwarf, he might not be able to recognize this drunk guy.

However, when he thought this, Oldham had already passed him staggeringly. Brando turned around and watched the old dwarf separate from the crowd and go out, leaving only a back figure.

Brando thought for a moment and did not follow immediately. There's nothing to talk about with a drunk guy, not to mention that he looks like a worker in this place, so he won't disappear anytime soon.

His goal is to take control of this silver mine, and the effect of contacting the other party will be much better at that time. But even so, he still turned around and asked the middle-aged man:

"Who is that?"

"An old guy, I think his name is Odum. He has been here for a while." The middle-aged man didn't know why this young noble would be interested in a sloppy dwarf. "He is a steward in the mining area." .”

"what for?"

"Just a supervisor."

"Have you heard that he has any special skills? For example, construction engineering?" Brando asked further.

The middle-aged man was stunned and shook his head: "I've never heard of that."

"Oh, I thought dwarves were all construction experts." Brando smiled and said deliberately.

"That's the mountain dwarf from the north, guest."

Brando nodded, letting go of the matter in his mind, and then turned and walked back to the table where the ladies were. When he approached, Roman and Medisa were talking about something, but when they reacted, they stopped at the same time and looked at the young lord.

"What's wrong?" Yuta asked.

"It's nothing," Brando shook his head: "But I asked about the local news and the situation is not good."

"What's going on?" A trace of worry flashed in Yuta's eyes. Apart from Brando, she was the only one who cared most about the success or failure of this matter.

"We originally thought that workers would come in and out of the mining area every day, but what I just heard is not the case," Brando said in a low voice: "The workers will actually only be in town one day a week, and they will be there every Monday morning. Go back to the mines and don’t leave there until Saturday.”

"The other party has very strict management of workers."

"Yes, this will reduce our chances of fishing in troubled waters." Brando said.

"What's the problem?" Qian asked confused.

"There are two points. It is not difficult to control the mining area. You only need to kill the swordsman with the golden average strength. The remaining more than a hundred people are not enough. But it must be silent and not attract Pallas's direction. If you pay attention, it will be a bit troublesome.”

"But me, my lord, you and Princess Medisa, will there be any problems for the three of us to deal with a golden middle-level enemy?" the red-haired girl frowned and asked.

"Of course not, but you should know how big the gold-level fight is." Brando replied.

"As long as one person knows that the mining area is under attack, the news will spread like wildfire. In a few days, Sir Pallas will know more about this matter than we do!"

"We can block the news." Roman suggested.

"Sir Pallas is not a fool. If there is no news from the direction of Shafdelun for a long time, he will also become suspicious." Brando shook his head: "We can only control this place and let it operate as usual, secretly for the fir trees." Just transport the silver to the city."

Brando didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what would happen next.

The silver will be secretly transported to the mint and minted into private coins. This is a secret that the local lords do not need to disclose. In fact, before departure, Brando had already entrusted Charles to search for Grudin's secret mint that may be hidden in a manor outside Fir City.

In fact, these are all activities that require hanging, but as Brando often said, a death row prisoner does not care whether there is one noose or two nooses around his neck.

After Qian was stunned for a moment, she nodded slowly in understanding.

"Can't you lure him out, or take action while he's outside? That human can't always stay in the mining area, right?" the Silver Elf Princess suggested in a soft voice.

"Yes, yes, but if he doesn't come out once a month, don't we have to wait here for a month?" Brando shook his head: "So we still have to take the initiative, at least sneak into the mining area to find out the opponent's movement patterns; Besides, to control the mining area, our people will have to infiltrate sooner or later——"

Metissa also nodded.

"Then what should we do, Lord?" Yuta asked softly.

"Shh, don't call me Lord Lord here," Brando glanced left and right, and then said: "Actually, I got not only bad news, but also two good news!"

This time no one interrupted, as if waiting for his next words.

"The first news is that nearby adventurers may have secretly drawn a map of the mining area. I think this news is very likely to be true. According to me, adventurers often do this kind of thing."

"Yes, eldest... young master," the female mercenary leader saw Brando glance over and quickly changed her words, biting out the title with great difficulty: "Sometimes adventurers will also form associations with local thieves' brothers. Joining forces, the nobles usually turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, and they won't do anything anyway."

"Where's the second news?" the businesswoman asked curiously.

"I learned that the adventurers here actually occasionally go to the mining area to work for a period of time. You know, adventurers are not always able to support themselves."

Juta couldn't help but be startled when he heard the news: "Are the nobles willing to let these troublemakers enter the mining area?"

"Why not? What the mining area needs is labor. You are not allowed to bring weapons into the mining area, and you are not allowed to take away even a piece of ore when you leave. In the mining area, ore is exchanged for money and food. What kind of trouble can these adventurers afford? Come?"

"Besides, who will cause trouble in Earl Denel's territory besides us?" Brando asked in a low voice.

"Then we can sneak in?" The red-haired girl's eyes lit up.

"You can't, I can, and so can others." Brando shook his head: "Women are not allowed in the mining area, otherwise the world will be in chaos."

Several people looked at each other, and each saw the feasibility of this plan in the other's eyes. If you can sneak into the mining area as a worker, it will be too easy to figure out the actions of the police inside.

But how to do it?
