Chapter 85 [0083] Start Work

In the end, Lux and Ino waited for a whole day in the Fulgrim Tavern, but Jayce and Viktor did not show up.

Lux was quite surprised by the two people's failure to meet. She wanted to find out what happened, but considering that explorers in Piltover had begun to be interested in Calican's laboratory, compared with a promising scientist, the laboratory that preserved Karya's research results was more important.

So, after going to the ruins of Jayce's laboratory but finding nothing, Lux had no choice but to give up this clue, retrieved all her luggage from the Zodiac Vault, and returned to Zaun.

In this case, the only thing she could do was to find Fandel and ask him to help find out about Jayce and Viktor - especially Viktor, who was originally a Zaun. Although he has become a member of Piltover now, his interpersonal relationships in Zaun have not been completely cut off, and Fandel should have some way to find him.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't pay any deposit, Lux even had reason to suspect that the two had run away with the money.

Vander readily agreed to Lux's request, and was even unwilling to accept the money at first. It was not until Lux insisted that he reluctantly said, "You can order two more cups of goat milk."

"Then order six cups." Lux thought about it and simply handed a handful of gold hex to Vander, "The extra money will be considered as the prepaid room fee."

Vander did not speculate this time, but simply accepted the money.

In fact, each of these coins looked familiar to Vander, because they were originally given to Grayson by Vander to calm the situation, and now Lux was just returning them to their original owners.

Then, while the two were talking, Ike came to the tavern with four children.

"Hey, Fandel, can we finally move freely?" Although she looked a little unnatural when she saw Lux, Wei still walked briskly and seemed to be in a good mood. "Have you... done with the previous things?"

"Almost." Fandel didn't say much on this issue, but pointed at Lux, "In order to prevent you four bastards from causing such trouble again, in the next half month, you should follow Miss Lux and learn to do some serious work..."

"Follow her?" Wei widened her eyes in disbelief, "Are you okay, Fandel? I understand that you don't want us to cause trouble, but why should I follow her?"

"Just think of it as an overseer." Fandel pulled Wei to his side and lowered his voice, "She hired your uncle Benso and others to dig something up, you should help watch it, and go along. Then go to Zaun to avoid the limelight. "

"Are the Piltover guys still not letting go?" Wei frowned with some dissatisfaction, "No one is in trouble, right?"

"So be careful, Wei." Fandel reached out and patted Wei's shoulder, "You are also a big kid, you can't just hang out on the street every day, right? I don't want you to be a thug for some alchemist baron when you grow up."

"How can I hang out with those watchdogs?" Wei couldn't help but raise her voice, "I'm not the same kind of person as them - Fandel, I've decided, when I come of age, I will open a tavern opposite your tavern, and compete with you for the job of introducer, the name is..."

Wei wanted to give her tavern a resounding name on impulse, but she couldn't find a good choice after thinking about it. Just when she was a little embarrassed, Lux gave an answer with her hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Violet Dream, how about this name?"

"Good name!" Wei nodded subconsciously, "Violet Dream..."

"Whatever you want." Fandel shook his head and did not continue to entangle with Wei, "Anyway, do a good job!"

"Just wait and see!"

……………………

With sufficient manpower and reliable "supervisors", Lux's excavation work finally officially began.

Under the guidance of Janna, she led a group of workers to cross one ditch after another, crossed one mine after another, and finally came to an inconspicuous cave.

"This is it." Lux pointed to the half-collapsed cave, "Our job is to clear the passage in the cave and remove the rubble and the like."

"Just like when the Piltover guys were prospecting for minerals?" Benso looked at the cave and touched his chin, "Excuse me, Miss Lux, but this is an abandoned mine anyway."

"It is indeed." Lux shrugged, "What I want to dig is underground, and it's easier to dig through this mine - if we dig a new passage straight up and down, it won't be something that we can handle."

"Is that so..." Benso nodded, not saying anything here. "At least now, we just need to clean up the mine, right?"

"Yes!" Lux nodded, "The first stage is like this."

"Then, I think we need some explosives." Benso consulted with other miners and made suggestions from a professional perspective, "This mine is a bit old, and the layers of rubble have been filled up. It can't be dug with a pickaxe alone."

"The attack can be left to Ino." Lux pointed to Ino who had been quietly behind her, "She will create attached ice crystals to push the rocks away - compared with explosives, controllable magic is much more convenient."

"Is this possible?" Hearing what Lux said, Bensuo's eyes widened in shock, "Use magic... to mine?"

"Why not?" Lux asked, "Using magic can make digging easier, so why not use it?"

Bensuo blinked and said nothing more.

From Bensuo's point of view, Lux's view is undoubtedly very strange - the noble mage lady actually participates in the dirty work of mining... Under normal circumstances, one should not use magic to gain more profits. Is it right to then hire more people to mine?

Although Ino seemed to be Lux's maid, Benso had seen Piltover's housekeepers and servants. Many of them were simply from Zaun, even if they were in Piltover. Their identities are not worth mentioning, but in Zaun, one of these people still has their nostrils turned upward.

Those servants who are just pretending to be powerful are already so arrogant, but Ino, a real mage, can participate in the mining work and use magic to improve the progress of the mining...

Isn't this incredible?

However, even though he was confused, Benso didn't ask any more questions - for him, the most important meaning of this job is to make money, to understand Lux, and to take care of these four naughty children. Therefore, he who usually likes to joke , this time I made up my mind to listen more and talk less.

Since Lux said that Ino would help and no explosives were needed, there was no need for it.

You are the employer, you have the final say!

Kalya’s little classroom·Mining:

Kalya is very good at some agricultural work, but has only dabbled in mining - Shurima has rich mineral resources, but most of them are concentrated on the edge of the continent. When Shurima expands here, Kalya There is no need to go into the mine yourself.
