Chapter 131 Collecting Interest From the Shelley Family's Mine

The next day, Zhang Xing got up and was about to go to class when he suddenly remembered that today was Sunday.

According to the rules of the Tianxing Empire, students must go out to do charity every Sunday.

That is, to help some poor people do some work, to show that the emperor has not forgotten these poor people.

But this rule has continued to this day and no one follows it. The upper echelons of the empire treat this rule as a verbal form.

Zhang Xing thought about it and decided on today's itinerary, to go to the Otlan Mountains to help those poor miners who suffered and suffered, and by the way collect the interest from the second mentor Shelley.

Mentor Shelley's status is more noble than Horton. He is a royal relative, that is, the uncle of Emperor Keith. Zhang Xing doesn't know whether he is the eldest uncle or the eighth uncle.

He only knows that Shelley's family has a mine!

And it is not an ordinary copper-iron ore, but a mine called mithril.

Mithril ore is widely used in various alchemical products and enchanted weapons. It is a necessity for building magic circles and many magic experiments.

Moreover, due to its unique properties and non-renewable factors, mithril is listed as a strategic material in the Holy Dragon Continent.

Once a mithril mine is discovered, it will be immediately occupied, protected by the imperial army, and then special personnel will be sent to dig and mine.

Emperor Keith gave this lucrative position to his uncle. Since these relatives in the harem cannot be high officials, they will be paid.

Almost every important mineral vein in the empire is mined by the emperor's own family.

Horton received 120 million gold coins in interest, so the interest of mentor Shelley cannot be lower than this number.

As for the third mentor Bill, his family has no industry, so it is difficult to start for the time being. Let's wait for the opportunity in the future.

Zhang Xing rode Xiaobai and arrived at the Oatland Mountains a few hours later.

There are not only rich mithril mines, but also many third and fourth level blood tooth spiders, all of which live in the mithril mine cave.

Once people or other creatures are found, the blood tooth spiders will come in groups to catch the food delivered to the door.

Zhang Xing and Jin Bao hid aside and secretly observed the heavily guarded mithril mine cave.

A large number of slaves wearing magic shackles were seen dragging the mined rocks with thick ropes and carrying them out with great effort.

In another direction, many poor people were doing odd jobs.

"With so many soldiers guarding, we can't get in!"

"It seems that we can only dig holes in remote places. This Jinbao is good at it."

Zhang Xing was about to get up and leave, when suddenly several groups of slave miners emerged from three or four mines in front of him.

They shouted in panic: "There are... there are blood-fang spiders, so many..."

Before they finished speaking, a thin white line flew out of the mine and directly wrapped around the miner's neck.

"Ah... save me..."

The white line shrank, and the miner flew up, and in the blink of an eye he fell to the entrance of the cave, and was swallowed by the blood-fang spider with half of its body exposed.

Then, blood-fang spiders of different sizes swarmed out from the gap next to him.

They crawled at an extremely fast speed, and with the continuous webs they sprayed, the slow miners were entangled one after another, and they fell into the spider's belly before they could react.

The guarding soldiers immediately launched a counterattack. They were covered in metal armor, with only two eyes exposed, holding shields and spears in their hands, forming a line of defense.

The dozen or so junior magicians behind them immediately cast flames to burn the blood-fang spiders.

After more than a dozen flames, a large number of blood-fang spiders were burned to death.

Obviously, the soldiers had already found a way to deal with them.

These second- and third-level spiders scattered to avoid the flames. The spider webs they sprayed were like coarse hemp ropes in front of the flames, and they broke as soon as they were burned.
