Chapter 312 First Meeting

Hamers Mine, Shaft No. 3.

Four hundred meters underground, steam engines roared, and several powerful miners used machinery to dig out the ore seams.

"Zi"

The drill bit seemed to have touched some hard stone and began to vibrate and spin violently.

The miner who controls the machine doesn't take it seriously. There are often rocks mixed in the ore seam. If you use the drill bit more force, you can smash those obstacles into pieces.

"Yeah," he gritted his teeth, held on to the machine and pushed it forward.

The drill bit suddenly tilted and tilted to the side as if it was slipping.

Seeing that he was about to hit the rock formation in front of him, the miner pressed the emergency button at hand in time to stop the machine.

"Bang", the machine hit the ground hard, and no one was injured at all.

The miners responsible for the work behind saw this situation and hurriedly stepped forward to help the miners operating the machines.

"Johnson, after you went to the mine yesterday, did you hang out with the bartender again? Look at how weak your legs are."

"Haha." Other miners also laughed knowingly.

"You bastard, you are just making sarcastic remarks. Last night I drank a few glasses of ale and went back to sleep."

"Yes, yes, we understand." The small and cramped mine was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Shit!"

Johnson, who was being supported, stood up with a curse, patted the mineral layer in front of him, and said seriously:

"There is something inside, I can feel it. It's not rock, but like a hard steel plate."

Seeing his serious expression, the others stopped joking and picked up the pickaxe behind them:

"Let's dig it out ourselves, Johnson, stay back."

The profession of miner is not very safe. Everyone earns money at the risk of death. Several people work in groups, and the daily wages are paid according to the output of mining ore.

Time is money, and wasting time will lead to less mining and less money, so everyone did not delay, picked up the pickaxe and started digging.

From time to time, the pickaxe hit hard objects and made a sound of gold and iron.

After an unknown amount of time, a black rectangular metal box was finally revealed, about one meter high, two meters wide, and three meters long.

On the outside of the box, you can vaguely see thick lines of patterns.

One of the miners spat and said, "What the hell? What bastard buried a coffin so deep?"

Hearing this, the others took a closer look and felt unlucky.

The shape of this metal box does look like a coffin, but it is larger in size. No one thought that way just now.

"How can there be a coffin in such a deep place?"

Johnson kicked the metal box and felt his feet hurt from the shock: "Ouch."

When he bent down to cover his feet, he felt something shiny in the mine tunnel he had just dug.

He took out a small pickaxe and swung it.

The surface of the metal box was pitted and severely deformed, with one corner broken and something like solidified rosin leaking out.

"It's really unlucky to waste so much time. Do you think I can exchange this for money?"

"I don't know if this box can be exchanged for money, but I know that my brothers have really received it!"

Johnson held up a piece of white stone that he had just knocked down and said excitedly:

"What is this kind of stone called? I can't remember it for a moment.

I remember that there was a reward hanging in the mining area all year round, asking for this kind of stone.

Guys, look, such a big piece definitely meets the requirements! "

"What is it? Let me see!"

Hearing Johnson's trembling voice due to excessive excitement, everyone else's attention was drawn and they all stepped forward to check out the stone he was talking about.

The stone is translucent white and slightly cool to the touch.

"I remembered," a miner with curly gray hair shouted, "This is Han Jade, and the reward is at least a thousand gold coins!"

The bounty issued by Croun has been hung in the most conspicuous place in the mining area. The bounty is gold coins, because the miners have no use for gold spirit coins.

"It's developed! Brothers don't have to go to the mines anymore."

"Haha, I've had enough of risking my life to make money. I want to start a small business when I get out."

Johnson shouted: "Let's get this rock out first."

"Yes, be gentle, this thing won't be worth anything if it breaks."

The miners carefully peeled off the stone, which was about the size of a bucket.

Johnson waved his hand and said energetically: "Let's go, go up and receive the reward."

"Would you like to get this metal box up too? It might be a rare metal and worth a lot of gold coins."

"Pry it open and see what's inside."

Several miners pried the box open from the gap and saw that it was filled with a light yellow solution and a strange humanoid creature lay inside.

The creature had no skin and was as bloody as a skinned frog.

It has two pairs of arms, a bat-like black wing membrane behind it, and a bulging belly, as if something is pregnant inside.

"vomit"

"Oh my God, we did something stupid. Close the lid."

Johnson covered his nose hard, even though there was no peculiar smell coming out. He gestured on his chest and prayed softly:

"May the Lord of Fire protect us"

"Bang."

Others worked together to reseal the heavy lid.

"Do you want this box to stay here?"

"Of course, no matter how valuable this thing is, it can't be sold for many gold spirit coins. Let the guys who work for us make a small fortune.

If we carry it up, what if those gentlemen think we are unlucky and deduct our gold coins? ! "

Johnson picked up the rough stone and shouted: "Let's go and collect the reward. Tonight, I'm treating you to a guest. I won't come back until I'm drunk at the Elk Tavern."

He felt that he had endless strength, and the heavy stones seemed to become much lighter.

Several people left laughing and joking, and the mine was pitch dark.

Not long after, the lid of the box moved, revealing a gap as big as a finger.

After a while, rapid footsteps came from the mine tunnel.

‘It’s coming soon. Those bastards in Johnson were lucky enough to dig up a piece of cold jade. Maybe there is one nearby, and I can make a fortune too. ’

Dais was less than forty years old, but his face was full of vicissitudes of life, and some would believe him even if he said he was fifty.

He squandered all the money he earned from working in the mines when he was young. Moonlight never thought about what to do in the future.

But this year, I am older, my health is a bit unbearable, and I have been thinking about how to make a windfall.

When he accidentally saw Johnson and others going to receive the reward, he got interested and came to try his luck.

Holding the oil lamp, Dais first saw the metal box. He knocked on it with a pickaxe, stepped over, walked to the deepest part of the mine, and started working.

An hour later, he threw away the pickaxe, cursed, picked up the oil lamp and returned to the box.

Han Yu was not found, so there may be some gains in it.

Although he understood that since this thing had been left behind by others, it had obviously been looted, he still took it as a precaution.

He saw a gap in the box, picked up a pickaxe and pried it open: "What if those guys don't know the goods?"

Before he finished speaking, a ball of liquid sprayed out of the box and was accurately delivered into his mouth.

"Ugh." Dais felt the smell of blood welling up in his mouth. He stuck his neck and desperately tried to vomit the thing out, but a little was still swallowed.

Not long after, Dai Si suddenly stood up, like a marionette, picked up the oil lamp and left the mine.

. . . .

No. 10 Golden Oak Street is home to a group of red villas, which are the private residences of the Archbishop of Flanders.

"Crown, you're here! These are members of our McLean family.

I should have hosted it myself, but things have been too busy recently, so I can only ask you to help.

You are all young people and have something in common. "

When Flanders saw Croun being brought into the living room by the butler, he stood up to greet him and said with a smile:

"Let me introduce you first. This is Plimpton, the strongest of the younger generation of the McLean family, a silver-ranked knight."

Plimpton's complexion is a healthy wheat color, his long blond hair is simply tied back, and his eyes are clear and soft.

If it weren't for the beard on her lips, she would definitely be recognized as a woman.

He withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, bowed slightly, and said gently: "Sir, Mr. Crown, it's a pleasure to meet you. May the light of the Moon God soothe your dreams."

When setting off from the Kingdom of Potamia, he was told that his trip was mainly responsible for two tasks. One was to investigate the feasibility of establishing a family branch in the Kingdom of Faruk, and the other was to find out about the extraordinary church of the Flame Lord in front of him. Whether the person is qualified to marry into the family.

When the other party first entered the living room, he noticed that the light of the other party's soul was like a bright moon in the sky, and that breath gave people the feeling of spring breeze.

‘He is indeed a strong man of silver rank, he is actually younger than me, and he is worthy of friendship. ’

Crown was a little stunned, Moon God?

The McClain family has more than one belief. If this is the case, will family members get into fights over their beliefs when they get along? !

But these are family affairs of the other party's family, and it's not his turn to worry about them.

"Your Excellency Plimpton, thank you for meeting me. May the light of the Lord of Fire illuminate your path forward."

Flanders seemed to have seen through Crown's thoughts just now and explained:

"Most members of the McClain family believe in the moon god, but members are not prohibited from believing in other gods."

He then pointed at the beautiful woman wearing silver hair accessories next to Plimpton and said, "This is Miss Elisa, who is also a third-level transcendent."

Eliza has curved eyebrows, bright eyes, and her platinum hair paired with silver hair accessories looks particularly eye-catching.

She glanced at Plimpton cryptically, and he nodded imperceptibly.

Then she smiled as brightly as a flower and said softly: "Your Excellency, Mr. Crown, it's a pleasure to meet you. May the light of the moon god soothe your dreams."

After speaking, she gently stretched out her right hand.

Just now, she was asking her brother for confirmation, asking whether Croun was a Silver-level person, and was relieved after receiving a positive answer.

When they came to Rhine City, the family had already informed them of the whole story. Among the direct family members, only two women met the conditions.

The other person's appearance is not particularly outstanding, mainly because of his aquiline nose that ruins the overall beauty, but he is still considered to be of average quality.

"Your Excellency Eliza, nice to meet you. May the light of the Lord of Fire illuminate your path forward."

Croun bowed, held up the woman's jade wrist with white gauze gloves, touched the back of her hand with his lips, and a faint fragrance rushed into his nose.

"The last one is Freya, a third-level knight."

Freya's appearance is exquisite, but she is as beautiful as an iceberg. There is a coldness in her words that would repel people thousands of miles away: "Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Crown also responded calmly: "Nice to meet you."

"Haha, sister Freya doesn't like to talk. Don't get me wrong." Plimpton came out to smooth things over.

Crown shrugged indifferently.

Flanders glanced at Freya lightly and said:

“I still have to go to church to take care of business and show them around today.

Rhine City is not as prosperous as the city they live in, but it also has its own characteristics. "

The archbishop blinked his right eye and patted Crown on the shoulder with a meaningful expression.

Crown nodded slightly: "No problem."

. . . .

As a receptionist, Comrade Crown must be unqualified.

He has never visited the Rhine City seriously, how can he be a qualified guide?

But he knows one thing, if you can't find somewhere fun, find something good to eat.

Therefore, he took the Maclean family to visit several famous pubs and taste specialties.

In the evening, when he was sending these guests back, he was called into the study alone by Flanders.

The archbishop poured a glass of red wine and handed it to him, and asked straight to the point:

"Do you like any of these two girls?"

Crown laughed. He took the glass and took a sip, saying, "I didn't expect the archbishop to have a hobby of being a matchmaker."

Flanders pointed to the sofa: "Sit down and talk."

He sat comfortably on the sofa and leaned on the back of the sofa: "Let me talk about the history of our family first."

The archbishop spoke slowly and recounted the family history.

Restro, the ancestor of the McClain family, was a sixth-level silver warrior who followed the Moon God. He was only one step away from igniting the divine fire to reach the Stigmata level and become a god.

But in the end he failed to step out, and finally turned into a heroic warrior of the Moon God.

Fortunately, Restro had a son in his later years who inherited his Silver Peak bloodline.

Although this bloodline is not as good as the bloodline of gods, it can still be passed on, and the McClain family has become a silver family on the mainland.

The family members are united, and strong men are often born in the descendants. In addition, the clan members are good at management, and now they have become one of the top families in the mainland, even more prosperous than some golden families with the blood of gods.

When Flanders finished telling the family history, several empty wine bottles were left on the coffee table.

"I am optimistic about your future, and it was I who proposed the marriage. Frankly speaking, if I had a daughter of the right age, I would be willing to betroth her to you.

The world may seem calm right now, but we all know it's just the eerie calm before the storm.

I think you have the potential to reach a higher level. The McClain family will be your support and we can help each other in the future.

Besides, you should also consider your marriage. Don’t you want the Moya family to be passed down?

If you like the girl, tell her, don't be embarrassed. The MacLean Family Dowry will save you years of struggle! "

‘You can judge based on appearance alone. ’

Croun had teeth, the other woman's family had good genes, and both women were pleasing to the eye.

It's not love at first sight, but he definitely doesn't hate her. Of course, he prefers the lively Elisa.

Although Freya was more beautiful, she was too cold and he had no interest in conquering the iceberg beauty.
