Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 105 Small Disagreement

"You really haven't told anyone about this?" Kraft said while holding his forehead.Cousin Ryan never expected that secrets would be accidentally leaked half a kingdom away. Sometimes fate is so wonderful.

But with the relationship between the two, it's not good to expose him. I hope Mr. Anderson can find out the problem before he has a set of eyes, ears, nose, hands and feet.

"I understand. I didn't mention my identity. Little nobles gathered around Wendeng Port, who knows which one?" William stopped smiling. He had held this story in his stomach for a long time, and it was rare to have a suitable occasion to tell it. , the desire to confide was satisfied.

"It's all here, let's take a look at the area where they usually operate, and then go back to the village to find that old Gorey who sounds like a pagan leader?"

He has encountered many situations like this when he retreats from the battle. The key to persuasion is to explain things simply, break them down into small clear activities, and emphasize that it only takes a while.For example, tell the sailors to hold on to the cable for a while, and he will arrange for someone to come up and change the guard as soon as possible.

And then...and who can tell how long without a timer?

"Just walk down like that, go to the place where they have walked hundreds of times, take a brief look, and then go up. It will take about two glasses of beer, how about it?"

Kraft is still hesitating, a certain intuition troubles him, pointing out that various factors are connected, a dominant source integrates many connections into a bundle, and different representations will point to a crux, which is the source of all scattered phenomena .

I don’t know the laws behind the operation, so I can’t make inferences, just like it is difficult for ordinary people to associate diarrhea, myocarditis, and convulsions with three unrelated things in the body, but in fact, the three can indicate the possibility of the same pathogen infection.

His problem was that he didn't know what the "pathogen" was. This key smashed all kinds of clues that couldn't stand the investigation and couldn't piece them together. Naturally, he couldn't take any targeted preventive measures, and he seemed a little nervous for a while.He briefly opened and closed his spiritual senses, but still found nothing.

"Oh, don't be like this. Could it be that if you find a heretic leader, you can change the purpose of our coming here for the mine?"

"Okay, I'll go ahead and stop at their daily activities." Kraft pulled out the torch, pushed aside the ashes on the surface of the fire pit to reveal the buried flame, and lit the oily fuel on the head of the stick, "Kup, you and Yi Feng stay outside, the cave is too dark and too narrow to squeeze in together."

This is not the first time Kraft has entered the mine. In the previous investigation, they also visited many similar mines. The longest retention time lasted almost three generations, and the shortest was about the same. year.No trace of human activity, long or short, is inherently preserved on the way down.

On the one hand, it is because the rock structure itself is difficult to change, and on the other hand, the residents here have never realized that such a perfect cave may collapse.

Even after a terrible disaster, they provided little support structure for the new mine, or needed artificial support somewhere.These caves are like tunnels drilled by a shield machine in a rocky mountain. The structure is far superior to the mines built by humans. From a layman's point of view, they feel full of security, and it is completely impossible to imagine how the collapse occurred.

Humans walk freely in it, as if it has always been a channel for them, in order to lead to the minerals in the deep rock formation.

The torch spreads the photos of the figures on the khaki cave wall. The rocks that can be seen everywhere provide the main material of the hills. It is not even easy to find a piece of other types of stones here. There are only yellow rocks and their weathered rocks. Thin soil layer of the same color.

Generally speaking, they have to walk for a long time in the rarely changing yellow rock formations until the color of the minerals is smudged on the cave walls.It was not obvious at the beginning, and most of the time it seemed that the burning of the torch was about to end, and the reflected vision was reddish, and it felt like being covered with gauze mist, but the clothes and skin did not change color, as if they were omitted when the canvas was painted.

Dull people will not notice until the color gradually deepens, like the blood vessels in the rock formation are cut off, and the dark red color overflows, immersing the place where it came from and the way ahead.Kraft will feel that he has drilled through the epidermis of a huge creature and entered the dermis, surrounded by blood-soaked tissues. These caves are pathological structures such as sinuses and fistulas, and should not be classified as "naturally formed" .

They are dazzlingly red, causing visual fatigue and stagnant breathing, like walking in a river of blood.To a certain extent, it is not completely wrong. This is a good quality hematite. Where the sound of the pickaxe is heard, the iron content will be higher, and it will be darker and more depressing.

"Iron ore, there is no difference from the previous one, except that the quality is better." Slight disappointment, not serious

The woman who brought them here before was working here, swinging a pickaxe on the already thinned rock wall, dropping a little broken ore.After peeling off the surface, it is still a reddish rock formation.

"May I ask, does anyone in the village know what happened in the old mine?"

"Those who knew what was going on inside stayed inside, and so did the two strangers and their belongings." The strong woman put down her mining pick, inserted the torch into the groove cut on the wall of the cave, and piled shallow piles in the basket. A shallow layer of crushed ore, "He hired people for money, and arranged for people to transport them away, and the men were not allowed to speak out."

"Is there really no one who secretly mentions it?"

"Maybe, but he pays a lot for his work. If you tell him who said it and get the money, everyone will stare." She squinted her eyes and wiped away the mixture of sweat and mineral dust, and wiped the scattered mineral dust on the ground with her feet. Scoot one piece, "My husband is an honest man, he just works to get paid, maybe some slicker has secretly told the family."

"If you are interested in that, you should give up your thoughts as soon as possible, no one can dig through those stones."

"Thank you."

"If you can add a few more copper plates, I can help you to ask."

William was taking out his money bag, but what he took out was two black silver coins. He hadn't listened to it since "no one can dig it out", and what he gave was obviously not an errand information fee.After no one noticed for a while, the captain walked a little deeper, passed the two people who were talking, and came to the edge of the mining area.

"I have an idea." Raising the torch horizontally, the light pushed forward to a depth that few people have set foot in. There is no shelter here, there is no line, and there is no difference in the abundance of minerals.

"Both mines are in the same hill, not much bigger"

He walked a few more steps, and the torch's halo was almost separated from the people behind him, only the outer circle of the halo was connected. The few insignificant steps seemed to be stretched in the darkness, brewing an uneasy sense of psychological distance, "Two silver coins, bring Let's go a little further inside. Maybe they are connected in a deeper place?"

"No."

"no!"

The two voices sounded in unison, and Kraft and the strong woman who refused at the same time looked at each other, and noticed the flash of confusion and resistance in each other's eyes, and he didn't know where it came from.
