Lord Helanza

Surdak put a very scribbled hand-drawn map on the table, the lines on it are messy.

He pointed to a triangular mark and said: "I have explored it. The area is not too big. At best, it is only as big as the river beach, and all the sulfur mines are associated with the outcropping. On the stalagmites, it’s just that some sulfur mines are difficult to mine, and some quarrying tools are necessary."

Charlie and several other youngsters also everyone talking at once said:

"Well, that's right!"

"At that time, we found several large sulphur mines on the stalagmites, but unfortunately we couldn't pry them down."

"Go again this time If you don’t, we’re going to bring enough guys to take advantage of it."

The old village chief waved his hand, "Don’t worry about this. Every year after the Harvest Festival, people in the village go to the Tzewang quarry for a few months. Stone masons, they are quarrying in the mountains over there. The sulphur ore mining should be similar to the digging of marble."

The old village chief was smoking a cigarette and said to Surdak: "The young man in our village may have other things. No, but it’s absolutely okay to ask them to work hard."

"This matter must be as early as possible." The old village chief said this sentence and said to the younger son next to him: "Charlie, Go ahead and let everyone get ready tonight. If you are willing to go, leave tomorrow. If you don’t want to go, don’t force yourself. You must find those who have experience in quarrying."

Charlie stood on the bench. Get up and walk out in a stride.

The old village chief said to his nephew Luke again: "Luke, you will go to Beigou Meadow in a while and get your horses ready."

Luke nodded, to your side The three partners said: "You have to help me. If you want to drive all the horses out of the pasture, someone must help me!"

The three youngsters heard that they were going to the Beigou pasture. They also readily agreed.

The old village chief said to Surdak again: "Let’s get together 20 masons to ride to the pustule mountain, wait for the first batch of sulfur mines to be sent back, and then transport the youngsters and supplies from the village."

Then he stared at Luke and the other three youngsters with a serious expression, lowered his voice, and said in a threatening tone: "The news about the sulfur mine should not be revealed to anyone. Don't say it strictly, don't blame Lao Tzu for breaking his leg."

Luke and the three youngsters put away their frivolous expressions, keep quiet out of fear fiercely nodded.

It seems that the old village chief has accumulated enough prestige in front of these people, and his words are also very important.

The old village head tilted his head and signaled that Luke could go to Beigou pasture. The four youngsters left quickly, for fear that they would be held back by the old village head for training.

Surdak also stood up, preparing to leave with Luke and the others, and said to the old village chief: "The living conditions on the pustule mountain are very poor, and I will go back and make some preparations."

The old village chief took Surdak's arm and asked him to sit down in the slightly shabby living room again. He sat there thinking for a while, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his wrinkled old face: "Duck, This open-pit sulfur mine was discovered when you hunted the salamanders, and you took the initiative to take people to explore it. It is said that this open-air sulfur mine should belong to you, and now you must gather the power of the whole village to mine, this sulfur mine The distribution of benefits must be determined in advance, so as not to cause contention after the event. You account for half of these sulfur mines, and half of the villages. The villagers contribute, and you can send 22 horses for transportation. All the villagers who participate in the mining of sulfur mines everyday All has an extra subsidy for a Silver Coin salary, what do you think?"

The old village head didn’t expect this. Surdak felt that since everyone discovered it together, there is no reason to own half of the mine. , Wouldn’t it be unfair to others, and refused: "Bright Uncle, I do these things like everyone’s thoughts, but also for our village, there is no reason to take this dividend."

didn 't expect The old village chief waved his hand and said: "This will become your Knight collar in the future. As long as you when the time comes, don't feel that the current agreement suffers."

He took a sip of the table. The lemon tea on the table moistened my throat, and when I saw Surdak, he was a little hesitant, and said:

"Don’t be too busy to refuse, without you, the lizard hunting group in the village would not dare to go deep into the Paglos Mountain Don’t talk about the demonic beasts in the deep mountains. Even the sand wolves outside Desolate Land, we can’t afford to offend!"

The old village chief then said: "In addition to these unowned land The sulphur mine belongs to the Grimm Empire. The common people have no right to mine. Only the Knight and the nobles have the right to exploit the territory..."

The old village chief said a lot, in short, he didn’t let Surdak make excuses to refuse. How to give half of the open sulphur mine to Surdak.

Surdak felt that since he had to do something for Wall Village in the future, he didn't want to be hopelessly muddled in this matter. In the end, he didn't insist, so he half-pushed and agreed.

Walking out, Surdak remembered that he hadn’t looked at the concrete wall in the old village chief’s yard.

After thinking about it, I decided to wait until Charlie finishes the matter.

……

The old village chief and his wife stood at the door, watching the Surdak silhouette disappear on the village road, and the old village chief’s wife asked hesitantly:

"Bright, will we become prosperous in the future like Pelaze Village?"

The old village chief replied confidently: "Of course, this time we found some sulfur mines. We have to take advantage of it. The other villages don’t know yet, so hurry up and dig back these minerals."

Seeing that he was full of confidence, the wrinkles on his forehead became much lighter as he listened to his waist standing at the door.

The wife of the old village chief looked at the old village chief, her eyes blurred. In recent years, the old village chief has rarely seen such a good mood. The whole village of Wall is on his shoulders, and his waist has already been bent. In the past few years, he has walked so well every step. It is difficult and conscientious to want the people in the village to live a good life full of food and warm clothes, but in recent years, the year has been worse than the year, and everyone's life has been worse than each day.

The old village chief’s wife sighed and said: "Surdak, this child is really good, not the same as those greedy knight masters..."

The old village chief said immediately: "Yeah, after all, it was Knight who walked out of our village of Wall."

"He has been out for the past four years, and the changes are really big, I almost can't recognize it!" The old village chief's wife I want to recall the appearance of Surdak before joining the army, and then realize that the appearance of Surdak in my memory does not overlap with the present, so I can only sigh again.

The old village chief also felt that Surdak had changed a little bit. Thinking of seeing the scars on Surdak’s body yesterday, he said to his old wife:

"I came back yesterday by the stream. When you took a bath, you haven't seen the scars on his body. I can't imagine what kind of battle he has gone through to make him covered with scars. It is difficult to find a good piece of skin on him!"

The old village chief felt that Surdak must have experienced unimaginable ordeals on the battlefield before he was promoted from civilian to Knight by the noble master. This honor has never been achieved in Wall Village for so many years. "He is not the same as Charlie. He also served four years of military service. Charlie has served as a soldier for four years in a comfortable and peaceful plane, and Duck really got off the battlefield!"

"After all, he is the one with the identity of Knight..."
