Adventure Down the Mine

This second mining fortress was much larger than the first and was built much more solidly, like a castle built by dwarves, with most of its buildings hidden inside the mountain.

Unfortunately, the protruding parts are the City Wall and the arrow tower...

Various weapons were displayed on the City Wall, but the ones that caught Roy's attention the most were the four Sky-Shooting Ballista placed in the arrow tower.

In fact, there were four more Sky-Shooting Ballista hidden in a corner of the City Wall. At this time, these four Sky-Shooting Ballista were covered with tarpaulins and tied with ropes. Next to them was a rack full of crossbow bolts.

For the Silver Pegasus Warrior, they would never easily venture into the range of the Sky-Shooting Ballista.

The Sky-Shooting Ballista has a maximum range of 600 meters, making it difficult for Silver Pegasus Warrior to dodge, as they are too large targets in the air.

The warehouse was empty of valuable Gemstone Mine, and the entire mine had been turned into a mess by the Elf Warrior ' search and ransacking; much of it was so chaotic that there was practically nowhere to step.

Captain Kepler was very worried that Roy might get angry if he saw the messy rooms and the low-grade ore in the warehouse...

Roy walked around the warehouse without showing any displeasure.

Captain Kepler didn't know was that there were no high-grade Gemstone Mine in the warehouse, which actually saved Roy a lot of trouble.

Since these Gemstone Mine Gemstone Mine belonged to the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, and countless eyes were eyeing Gemstone Mine, Roy never even considered taking them.

In addition, Earl Swynborne hopes that Roy will join the Silver Pegasus Legion after graduating from the Elf Academy and form an unofficial warband.

Earl Swynborne also told Roy that Roy would later form an unofficial warband, and the funding for forming the warband would likely come from these mines...

The warehouse of the first mine contained a large quantity of Gemstone Mine because the Grantham mine owner did not have time to hide the high-grade gemstones before the fortress was captured by the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment.

Although the second mine did not have any high-grade Gemstone Mine, the warehouse was filled with low-grade Gemstone Mine, just like ordinary stones. The management here was even more rudimentary, and the ordinary Gemstone Mine in the warehouse were piled together without even Wooden Box, just like a coal bunker.

Looking at the mine shaft before him, Roy felt a sense of unease...

The Mine Owners of this mine is much more ruthless than the mine owner of Grantham. He bought a lot of Half-Elf slaves, and he must have spent a lot of money when he bought the Gray Dwarf Bandit and Dark Moon Elf Prisoners.

Roy judged this by the amount of food put into the well each day.

Looking at the dark well opening, cold air kept rising upwards...

The Silver Moon Elf Warrior built a Rope Ladder at the mine entrance, but there was no reaction from inside the mine; no Half-Elf miners climbed up. This indicated that the dominant force inside the mine was currently in control.

If the Half-Elf miners and slaves had taken control of the situation, they would have already climbed up the Rope Ladder.

Only if the Gray Dwarf Bandit and Dark Moon Elf Prisoners control the situation in the well will they choose to remain inactive...

Roy's guess leans more towards the Gray Dwarf Bandit.

The twenty-odd Half-Elf that Mulin brought were very diligent. After arriving at the Second Mine, they took over the important task of guarding the mine entrance from the Silvermoon Elven Guard.

In the afternoon, the Half-Elf lowered an empty Wooden Box into the mine.

The Wooden Box was pulled up by a crane; it was filled with ordinary Gemstone Mine.

Roy casually flipped through the ore twice but couldn't find any high-grade minerals. Roy then told the Half-Elf to push the Gemstone Mine into the warehouse before turning around and pointing to the Wooden Box filled with fruit and food, instructing the Half-Elf to take these supplies down into the well.

A strange cry suddenly came from the bottom of the well...

Then, Roy tentatively put a bottle of rum and a salted fish into the Wooden Box. He wrote on a piece of paper that the rum and salted fish could be exchanged for high-quality minerals. If he wanted to drink this kind of rum again, he could exchange it for high-quality minerals.

The elves lowered the small Wooden Box further into the mine, and the strange cries coming from the depths of the mine grew even louder.

Once the small Wooden Box was hoisted up, it was indeed found to be almost entirely filled with high-grade Gemstone Mine.

It seems that rum is a hard currency here, and can be exchanged for high-grade Gemstone Mine.

The only thing that gave Roy a headache was those Half-Elf miners; he still couldn't rescue them, and Roy felt he had broken his promise.

You see, the reason Mulin and Langbo were able to bring a group of young Half-Elf from the settlement to help him was entirely because he had promised Langbo and Leishande that he would do his best to rescue the Half-Elf miners imprisoned in the mines...

But now, the mine in front of him looked like the gaping maw of a Giant Beast abyss, and anything swallowed could never be spat out.

This mine extracts Gemstone Mine much faster than the first mine.

This is not hard to understand; those Half-Elf miners are still underground, and they are the main force in mining Gemstone Mine...

Each time, the mine can hoist up two large crates of Gemstone Mine, and there is also a small crate of high-grade Gemstone Mine stored separately.

"Roy, do you have any way... to redeem the elves inside?"

That evening, Mulin found Roy and made her request.

The room contained only a desk, bookshelves on both sides of the walls, and moonstones on the ceiling, making it far from dark.

Roy was sitting in a chair, scribbling on a piece of parchment. When he saw Langbo burst in, he said helplessly, "What can I do? The most direct and effective way is to send a small elf team to investigate the situation down in the mine..."

"I'll go!"

After saying that, Mulin turned and walked out.

Roy quickly followed behind Mulin and said, "I'll go down with you."

Mulin stopped and, seeing that Roy didn't seem to be joking, said to him, "Do you know how dangerous it is in the mine?"

"That's why it's more reliable for me to go down with you. I'll go and tell Captain Kepler."

After Roy finished speaking, he took down the leather armor hanging on the wall and quickly put it on.

Following in Mulin's footsteps, they walked outside...

Captain Kepler had just finished inspecting the City Wall and returned to the third floor when he saw Roy and a Half-Elf female swordsman walking out of the room one after the other, and the two even seemed to be arguing a little.

The Half-Elf swordswoman walked quickly, and Roy caught up with her. The two began talking again.

Captain Kepler hesitated for a moment...

Although his appearance at this time might be annoying, he still gritted his teeth and walked out of the stairwell to greet Roy:

"Roy, where are you guys going?"

Roy turned his head and saw that it was Captain Kepler coming out of the stairwell. He then said to Kepler:

"Captain Kepler, we'd like to go down into the mine and take a look."

Captain Kepler was startled and quickly grabbed Roy, saying, "Roy, you need to think this through carefully before making a decision. Down in the mine are a bunch of Gray Dwarf Bandit and Dark Moon Elf Prisoners. If you rashly run down, you'll probably be devoured by them, leaving not even a bone fragment..."
