Scene 85 The New Owner of the Mine

readx(); The new owner of the mine in Act 85 (the third update, so stay tuned)

"No more, Senior Sister Nimesis."

Nymesis smiled, but then became serious again: "You have been more careful recently, and that kid has become restless recently. But they did it very covertly this time, and I can't catch them yet -"

Freya raised her head and looked at her worriedly.

"It doesn't matter," the black-haired female knight took a breath: "I'm here, just be careful."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked at the sky in the direction where the carriage disappeared. The sky in the north was a little gloomy, as if a terrible storm was brewing.

Is it just that this storm will come before late winter?

no one knows.

Nymesis only knew that people in the academy had begun to panic. This last territory of the kingdom might not be a safe haven, but the center of a huge whirlpool in the future. As for this short-term peace, it was just the illusion of the silence before the storm.

At least the female knight understood that in the north, in the free port of Ampelsel, a war without gunpowder was about to begin.

She turned back and took a deep look at Freya.

"Are you up to it?" she asked.

"What?" Freya was stunned.

The dumb look of the future Valkyrie made Nymesis laugh. She covered her mouth slightly and replied somewhat interestingly: "Nothing--"

…

And in the last days of this complicated Frost Moon, everything seemed to come together. When the situation in the north became shaky, the same time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Shavlund Two weeks have passed since the mine——

The incident that terrified everyone turned out to be a farce that was widely circulated in the town at first, but was quickly forgotten.

People are always forgetful. Except for the family members of the injured and deceased who will always remember this day deeply, most people just returned to their original life trajectory after just a week.

On the surface, the Schafflund mine seems to be unchanged, maintaining the same appearance that it has been for decades. But beneath the surface, something is slowly changing.

First of all, since Brando and others left the underground, Kuran's movements have been restricted. At Brando's signal, the old man announced that he would temporarily transfer all the duties in the mine to Okins, and then retreated behind closed doors to recuperate. As for the timid clerk, in fact, Brando and Medissa broke into Upon entering his office, he surrendered completely.

Now there is Yuta with more than 20 mercenaries from the peak of Black Iron disguised as closely monitoring the secretary around the clock. Even if he borrows a hundred thousand courage, he would not dare to pull any tricks.

In fact, contrary to what Brando expected, Okins seems to be more cautious and diligent now than before, so much so that he has gained some praise among his own civil servants who do not know the truth.

Those deputies probably thought that their elders had finally repented and become pragmatic and willing to work after shouldering the entire mining area's work.

Even the spies sent by Earl Denel to secretly monitor the young man's performance have written favorable comments on their reports for two consecutive weeks.

Of course, each of these reports passed through Brando's hands.

When Brando showed these reports to the timid clerk, the young man named Okins cursed his mother for the first time.

Of course, after he finished cursing, he looked around cautiously, as if he was afraid that his disrespect for Count Jean Denel would be heard by the informants around him.

This is what is called mud that cannot support the wall - Brando shook his head involuntarily.

However, in order to appease this timid and ambitious secretary, Brando made a promise to him, promising that he would not reveal the details of his work for them to anyone in the future, only that he would be imprisoned and find another person. replaced him with someone similar to him.

Although this lie seems to be revealed in no time, it at least gave our secretary a psychological comfort. Now he is often in panic all the time, so he only lives with this little psychological comfort.

As for Kuran, he was sent to Fir City the next day. When the old man saw Ciel, he knew he couldn't run away. However, he still rejected Brando's intentional or unintentional overtures, but asked the latter to keep his promise and let him go when the time was up.

When Brando saw this report, he smiled and shook his head at the desk in a room in the Trout Inn in the Forest in the town of Shaflund.

Kuran is obviously related to his grandfather, but the old swordsman has become silent and silent since he left the underground.

The young man is interested in finding out the truth about this secret from the other party, but given his temperament, he is not in a hurry. Anyway, he has plenty of ways - and in comparison, he has more important things to be busy with now.

So he put this matter aside for the first time and looked back at the petite back of the business lady who was immersed in a large pile of account books. After leaving the underground, he reprimanded the disobedient young lady. pause.

However, he originally thought that Roman would ignore him for several days, but when he left the mining area, the girl who claimed to be a big businessman still held his hand tightly - as if she was holding some important treasure. As if afraid of losing it.

This made Brando regret a little, wondering if his language was too strong.

Unexpectedly, within a few hours, this young lady would fall out of her old ways and become arrogant again. It wasn't until Huque arrived and Brando ordered Jutta to send a copy of the account book from the mining area that Roman finally calmed down.

She has been working for two days, and her progress is incredibly fast. Businessmen seem to have an innate talent in this regard. She can easily distinguish what they want from complicated numbers and abbreviations.

Fortunately, Warnd's accounting method is actually quite simple and is still at a very primitive stage. Roman quickly investigated the shortfalls of Okins and others and counted out some of the loopholes in the accounts one by one.

However, Brando understands that it is not yet time to carry out drastic liquidation in the mining area. At least in name, this place is still under the jurisdiction of Count Jeandenel. He and Roman can only enter the mining area to meet Jutta casually. Spy's attention.

In fact, the more than twenty newly deployed mercenaries were all under the name of the need to replenish the soldiers who were killed and injured in the mining disaster. These people will not be needed for too long, so that Earl Denel will not let too many appear in the area under his jurisdiction. Unfamiliar faces.

At most, new soldiers will be added in a month - of course Brando can still block it, but it will only delay it for two months at most.

Two months is enough for Brando.

Therefore, he suppressed the matter and waited for the settlement of accounts in the future. But in addition to the most important thing at the moment, some small things also gave him a headache.

For example, the teenagers who came out of the underground with them - Ke Wen, Qiao Ka and Maher. Brando admires the thin young man very much, or the future King of Gendenel - because no matter what Brando knows or has seen, it proves that this young man will never be willing to do anything. Be a normal person.

In fact, the performance of this thin young man underground also confirms this.

But to Brando's surprise, Ke Wen rejected his recruitment. The young man made it clear that he and his friends would leave this place and go out to the outside world according to their original plan.

This news made Brando a little regretful. King Jean Denel was not an ordinary person, but he also knew that such people could not be forced to stay. He could only let them stay in the town of Shaflund temporarily and wait until two months later. Make your own choice to stay or leave.

On the other hand, Brando, the person who should stay, failed to stay. What should not have been left behind was left behind.

The weird old dwarf claimed to be the only descendant of the rune dwarf - and his performance in the underground world seemed to confirm this - of course this was nothing. What really made Brando a little strange was that this The guy seemed to be appearing in front of him intentionally or unintentionally these past few days.

Of course, the old dwarf with a bad temper may not necessarily give his nominal lord a good look, but at least he is not as cold-faced as before.

But for this reason Brando still quietly put away the Sword of the Earth. He was originally worried that this was the purpose of the old dwarf. Unexpectedly, after he put away the sword, the other party remained the same as before - as if he was not affected at all.

In this regard, Brando could only attribute the other party's behavior to a mental problem, and then turned around and ignored this guy.

Because within a few days, another more important thing completely diverted his attention——

Huque led people to the mine. They will find a way to secretly transport all the silver ore stored in the warehouse in Shafrund Town, smelt it and send it to Firland to be minted into currency.

At the same time, the tiger bird brought Brando good news.

In fact, on the third day after they left, Ciel found Grudin's private mint from a nearby manor. However, there was an episode - after the noble private soldiers hiding in the manor realized that their whereabouts had been exposed, they immediately closed the door to prevent the mercenaries from entering, and clamored to resist until the last person. .

This behavior obviously angered the leader of a small mercenary group that was led by Brando at the time. The guy was called Madelan. Compared with his strength, his fiery temper was more well-known. Therefore, he was ready to teach these mercenaries a lesson——

Since they want to resist to the last person, then he must fulfill their wishes

But just when this powder keg was about to be put on the ground, our young wizard vetoed his request. Charles only asked someone to bring Madeleine one sentence: wait and see what happens.

This sentence has worked wonders.

Only the next day, the originally arrogant private soldiers of the nobles waved the white flag and opened the door in dejection to surrender. Although the mercenaries present at the time were all mysterious about the inscrutableness of the wizard.

But soon, they realized that it wasn't really a big deal.

the reason is simple.

At this time, the news of Sir Mintai's fiasco has spread throughout Tonigel——

…

(ps. Is this the last update or not, that’s the question, man.)
