Chapter 109: The gold mine in Mire Town (Part 1)

Abandoned gold mine in Mire Town.
The soldiers had already entered the mine to explore, while Luo Lin and Dai Wei were waiting for news outside the mine. During this time, the two discussed their future plans.
"Saledo explained that there are a total of seven joint people, distributed in various areas of Vendôme. Are we going to clear them now? Or should we return to Vendôme to report to the tutor?" Dai Wei asked.
Luo Lin had already considered this issue, and if he went directly to the elimination, he could easily capture one or two joint people and make more merits. But Destroy Plus is not a vegetarian, they will react quickly, and then they are very likely to send some powerful characters that they can hardly resist, then they will fall into an extremely dangerous situation, and may even be wiped out.
Obviously, this is unwise.
"Go back and report," he replied.
There is another reason he can't say, that is, he knows that the level of the connector is similar to that of the soldier he once caught in the Hidden Stone. They are all Saledo's subordinates, and it is useless to catch him.
The important thing now is to tell Vianna everything here, and then he can follow the known clues and reveal information about the destruction sect to her as much as possible.
"But if we set off now and luckily caught more connectors, we might be able to find deeper clues." Dai Wei preferred another opinion.
During this period of time, she experienced a lot of things, and these things are conveying a message, that is, there is a terrible dark force in Vendome, a growing Cthulhu sect.
From the assassination of her assassin to the fall of Varos, to the appearance of the Dark Warlock. All illustrate this point. To this force. She felt a deep fear. She felt she had to figure out these things.
"There is indeed a possibility. But our supplies are not enough and we must go back."
"But..." It's still in Vendôme, and the surrounding towns can extract supplies.
"The enemy is in the dark, we don't know who will attack us next time, Dai Wei, we are not prepared enough, so we are going to clean up like this, it's too risky."
This convinced Dai Wei. She nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense."
At this moment, in the mine, Adjutant Hansen ran out with a torch, saw Luo Lin, and after standing still and saluting, he said loudly: "Sir, we found something amazing in the cave. I think you must come. Have a look."
Luo Lin and Dai Wei looked at each other, and they saw an interesting look in each other's eyes. Luo Lin said, "Lead the way."
The three of them entered the mine together.
The soldiers had inserted torches on both sides of the mine wall, so the mine was still bright. The passage is intricate and complex, just like a maze, but the soldiers have left people at every corner of the passage, guiding them along the way, and they are not worried about getting lost.
A few people walked all the way in, about ten minutes, when they reached the depths of the mine, the narrow and low passage suddenly became open and became a spacious underground hall.
This hall is about five meters high and has an area of ​​several hundred square meters. The surrounding walls are inlaid with luminous spar, and there are breeze blowing from time to time, bringing fresh air here. In the corner of the hall, there are neatly arranged a pile of slatted boxes, fifteen of them, with seals on the boxes, one of the boxes has been torn off and has been opened.
"Sir, come and take a look." Adjutant Hansen's tone trembled, as if something extraordinary was in the box.
Luo Lin already had a hunch, he could guess what it was, so he calmly stepped forward, glanced at the box, and suddenly saw the brilliant brilliance in his eyes.
Sure enough, this box, no, it should be that these fifteen boxes are all spell crystals. Looking at this luster, it should be a crystal rough that has not been refined.
"Oh, God~" Dai Wei also saw it, she whispered, her expression shocked.
As a magician, she is very aware of the value of magic crystals. It is the most important magical material for magicians. Crystals can be used to create magical instruments and act as the magic power operation node of the magic circle, a city wall, a lord’s fortress, and a wizard. Towers need a lot of magic crystals, but the magic crystals are extremely rare. They are associated with various precious metal mines, such as silver mines. You can mine a ton of iron ore to get a fist-sized magic crystal.
For a lord, the spell crystal is an important strategic resource.
The extremely low mining volume is destined for the high value of the spell crystal. A refined spell crystal can roughly be exchanged for ten times the weight of gold. The unrefined rough stone is cheaper, but it can be worth at least four times the value. There are fifteen boxes of rough stones here. Just looking at it makes people feel that their heartbeat is racing.
In short, this is a wealth that makes people crazy.
Luo Lin could feel that everyone's eyes in this hall were attracted by these boxes. The soldiers around were all watching this side closely. Adjutant Hansen's face was full of secret excitement, as if saying : "Sir, shall we divide it?"
Relatively speaking, Dai Wei is the most calm. She came from a wealthy business family and has seen the world. Apart from the initial surprise, she quickly calmed down.
But the soldier's mentality made Luo Lin feel worried. He could perceive that if one does not handle it well, this huge wealth may bring a disaster.
Luo Lin calmly asked, "Besides these spell crystals, have you found anything else, such as gold coins?"
After speaking, he looked at Hansen with piercing eyes.
Hansen hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Sir, I found some, about 800 gold coins. Look, here."
Luo Lin looked over and saw an exquisite small wooden box containing about half of the box of gold coins. Looking at the number, there were indeed so many.
But Luo Lin keenly found a trace of guilty conscience from Hansen's face. His eyes flickered and he dared not look into Luo Lin's eyes.
Luo Lin immediately understood that there must be more gold coins actually discovered than this, but these soldiers have secretly divided some.
‘Oh~’ Luo Lin didn’t feel angry. At any rate, these soldiers left five hundred gold coins for him, the commander, which was not bad, but he was just a little funny.
He thought for a while, then walked back to the crate, closed the lid with a'clam,' covering the brilliance of the magic crystal, then he lifted the wooden crate gently, weighed it, and estimated: "Probably There are one hundred kilograms, 15 boxes, that is 1,500 kilograms, roughly 60,000 gold coins, yes, this is a rich harvest."
Sixty thousand gold coins! Luo Lin saw that many soldiers were secretly swallowing saliva, and one soldier even showed greed in his eyes. He continued: "It is indeed very rich. When we bring these crystals back to Vendôme, the lord will be very happy, and he will never be stingy with rewards."
Then, he turned his head and gave orders to the adjutant Hansen: "Hansen, listen to my orders."
"Yes, sir."
"Move all these crystals out of the cave, and we immediately set off to bring these things back to Vendôme. Attention! No rough stone can move. Who dares to move, kill!"
At the beginning, Luo Lin's tone was normal, but when he said that, his expression became very solemn, full of cold murderous aura.
Fortune touches people's hearts. These crystals are enough to induce the original sin of greed in anyone's heart. He must use strong means to dispel these thoughts.
This was the first time Luo Lin showed such a cold attitude. Even Dai Wei, who was familiar with him, felt trembling in his heart and felt his scalp explode. Adjutant Hansen was even more excited, and the little thought in his heart was scared away. He hurriedly gave a military salute and shouted: "Yes, sir!"
He immediately turned and ordered the soldiers to start carrying the spell crystals outside the cave.
The surrounding soldiers also heard Luo Lin's order. They were already in awe of the officer. At this time, they saw that he had issued a strict order. All of them were silent, afraid to let out the atmosphere, and they moved the crate in silence. .
There were not many crystals, and the removal was soon finished. Luo Lin pointed to the box containing the gold coins, and said to Hansen: "These gold coins are also trophies. You can arrange them and divide them. I don't need to divide them."
"Sir, this?" Hansen was a little surprised. They actually took their share long ago. These gold coins were left for the two officers, Luo Lin and Dai Wei. This is the default rule in the army.
Luo Lin smiled meaningfully: "Don't tell me, I know it. Go divide it."
"I don't need it anymore." Dai Wei is also a wise man. She has already figured out the purpose of Luo Lin's doing this. He ordered minefields to be set up strong before, and then used gentle means to show favor. In this way, because of the huge amount of magic crystals The possibility of civil unrest will be minimized.
Hansen understood Luo Lin's meaning, his face was happy, and he saluted: "Yes, sir!"
Then he greeted the soldiers to start distributing gold coins. Each soldier had at least four more gold coins, and each of them was full of joy. Today, this income is equivalent to their half-year military salary.
At this time, the captain of the scout hurried over from a mine and reported: "Sir, we found a secret room, but we can't open it~EbookFREE.me~ lead the way!" Luo Lin became interested.
The captain of the scout turned and returned to the passage. Luo Lin, Dai Wei and a few soldiers followed. After passing through a tortuous passage, they finally found a stone gate at the end of the passage.
Shimen is very secretive, almost integrated with the passage, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
"This is a rune of disguise." Dai Wei stepped forward and reached out and gently touched the lines on the surface of Shimen. These lines didn't seem messy, but clear patterns appeared under the trace of Dai Wei's fingers.
"It's a Mirt rune lock. It's very difficult to crack. It can't be opened without the corresponding rune key."
Luo Lin turned around and beckoned to a soldier. After the soldier came, he ordered: "Go and bring that short guy."
That dwarf must have the key. (To be continued...)
