Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 66
The fourth floor of the Salt Mine Cave. The occupants here are mainly the rooms of ordinary demon possessors. Each room here is smaller. One room usually has 2-4 demon possessors inhabited, and the other two rooms are even larger. , which is a Chase shop for more than a dozen people.

As he walked, Rand suddenly had the illusion that he used to inspect the student dormitories in the school. I have to say that although the conditions on this floor are not good, both the room arrangement and the space layout are very reasonable.

Considering the height of the demon possessor, the height of the entire fourth floor is about 3 meters, which is lower than the fifth and sixth floors. Each 4-person room is very similar to the layout of Rand’s previous school dormitory. Of course There are basically no windows, and it is hard for Rand to imagine why there is such a coincident cave on a mountain of more than 100 meters. This is not a cave, it is simply a specially excavated cave dormitory.

"It was indeed specially excavated, Mr. Rand." After Rand's inquiry, Gandalf replied with a smile, "Not only the rooms you saw, but also the pools in the rooms, the sewer channels of the toilets, and the rune boards. The positions are already reserved, I just drew the runes after I got here, there are no new functions”

"What?" Lante didn't turn around.

"You don't think this salt mine was discovered and mined by barbarians, do you? The entire salt mine area has been mined for thousands of years, and this cave has been the dormitory for miners in the salt mine hundreds of years ago."

"I said, why is it such a coincidence?" Lante suddenly realized, "But it's not right, how many magic crystals do these runes need to operate?"

"There is no need for magic crystals. Do you think the human demon possessors who are regarded as hard workers will have their own magic crystals?" Gandalf explained, "This involves the knowledge of the magic net. It is normal for you not to know. You know, even the magic school in Dragon Tooth City doesn’t teach this kind of knowledge.”

The magic net is generally considered to refer to a certain linkage relationship of magic elements in the entire world. The elements of magic interact with each other in the air, water, and soil to form macroscopic regular fluctuations.

Generally speaking, the fluctuation of the magic net is stable and slow, but in the soil, as the bottom layer becomes deeper, many magic elements will have different concentrations in different bottom layers. There is a huge difference in magic concentration in the same formation depth, which may release a large amount of magic energy suddenly, or slowly release a fixed, small amount of magic energy.

Magic scholars refer to this kind of terrain that can release huge magical energy as the leylines. The leylines are often located on top of volcanoes, minerals and other terrains. Make a natural magical energy mine.

According to Gandalf's explanation, as early as hundreds of years ago, the leylines under the salt mine were discovered and used. All the magic and alchemy devices in this cave were operated by the energy released by the leylines. In the heating pool of the workshop, and then distributed to each room on each floor.

"Are there any other caves like this on this mountain?" Rand asked. He remembered that the barbarian camp in the north of the salt mine also excavated the surrounding mountains. Existing mines continue to be developed.

"I think you are talking about the camp in the north?" Gandalf understood Rand's thoughts. "There are indeed caves there. I have seen them before, but there are no salt mines there, so they have not been used."

"I see." For Rand, isn't this similar to geothermal energy in his hometown, except that geothermal energy requires a boiler to convert heat energy into mechanical energy, and it is really convenient to directly use the magical energy contained in the leylines here.

"That is to say, if you can find a large leyline, you can build a city?"

"Of course, most big cities are built on leylines."

"Oh, so." For a moment, Rand felt that something was wrong, but the whole team was about to go downstairs, and Rand did not continue the discussion with Gandalf.

The third and second floors of the salt mine are the living spaces of the non-monsters. The third floor is mainly populated by children, elders with a certain skill, and management personnel, and the number is relatively small; the second floor is laborers, with a large number.

Regardless of the second floor or the third floor, the aisles on each floor are 4 or 5 meters high, and the living room is divided into two floors, so that more people can be accommodated.

There are 3 halls on the third floor, one of which is not only large in size, but also uses the geological space at the top of the cave for lighting, making it very bright.

According to Gandalf, these halls are the children's classrooms, the manager's meeting room, and the place where the ascetic presides over the prayers of the demonless.

In the well-lit hall, Rant met several non-magic people in charge of the management of the salt mine, such as Monhechi, Dorjaf, Mick, Jarger, etc. These non-magic people Rand saw at dinner last night However, they were all non-magic people who assisted Laniya in managing the salt mine. It was these people who managed the more than 2000 non-magic people in the salt mine in an orderly manner in the past few years.

These people are similar to the stewards in the barbarian camps that Rand encountered before. They are all local stewards and scholars who plundered after the barbarians attacked various human territories. They themselves have a deep understanding and practical experience in territorial management. After arriving at the salt mine It is also a return to old business.

Lante knew that he would lead the knights out of the main camp to fight Gray Goose. In the future, he would have to support all the non-monsters in the camp. Now, in front of her assistants, Lenny cannot be weakened. Elegant authority.

"Ms. Laniya introduced you to me yesterday. In the future, I will lead everyone back to the Dragon Kingdom. Along the way, I need everyone to help Laniya do all the work in the camp." Rand must first make it clear Lania's status.

"Don't worry, once I return to Julong, there will be more than 3000 people in my territory, and I need a lot of people like you. As long as everyone is willing to work hard, I will not treat you badly."

"Yes, my lord."

After the stewards finished speaking, Gandalf called over some girls.

"My lord, let me introduce you. This is Lima Zongtu, this is Lian Haili, and this is Ninongvia. You have already met their elder brothers. They are all demon possessors or knight apprentices. They were literate before they came, and they have been assisting Laniya with various accounts and paperwork in the salt mine."

"Very well, then they should be in charge of the paperwork, and you should follow Laniya.

Makoto?You also teach them to calculate accounts. "

"Yes, my lord"
