Hot magma flowed beside the furnace, continuously flowing into the slag pit through the crucible's opening. This slag pit needed to be cleaned three times a day, and the scorching heat was accompanied by a pungent, burnt smell.

The molten metal sinks beneath the magma and flows through an outlet at the bottom of the crucible into a fixed mold.

Even at night, the furnace continued to smelt Mithril Mine.

In the firelight, Roy's expression remained relatively calm as he walked straight up to the five Gray Dwarf.

His gaze swept over the five Gray Dwarf, Gray Dwarf were bound by ropes and struggling to breathe. They had no strength left to struggle and hung by the furnace like five dead dogs.

One of the Gray Dwarf was injured and had blood smeared all over his face.

Roy said to the five Gray Dwarf, "I really admire your courage and fearlessness in the face of death!"

"I must say, you have set an example for the eighty-seven Gray Dwarf in the Smelting Workshop, doing what they have always wanted to do but dared not do."

"I fully understand your yearning for freedom."

"But rules are rules. Now that you've become miners in the Sudasornan Mithril Mine, you have to stick to your duties. I'm in charge of this mine now, and I hope you'll think carefully about the worst consequences you're willing to bear before you do anything wrong."

"If any member of the team deserts the mine without permission, the entire team will be executed according to the rules of the Mithril Mine. If the entire team deserts the mine together, the team to which the team belongs will be held responsible."

"Since your team escaped the mine together and were members of the Night Smelting Team, the shift leader and deputy leader should also be held responsible..."

Roy's gaze fell on the Gray Dwarf in the yard.

Captain Timothy, leading four Dark Moon Elf Warrior, brought the two Gray Dwarf before Roy.

The fact that these escaped Gray Dwarf Bandit were brought back was entirely thanks to the Assassin Squad.

When Roy took over the Mithril Mine, he didn't let the Dark Moon Elf Warrior show themselves, in order to keep his trump cards up his sleeve.

The two foremen of the Night Smelting Team were highly respected. When they were escorted to Roy by the Dark Moon Elf, a large group of Gray Dwarf pushed forward, but were firmly blocked by the Half-Elf Warrior with their shields, their longswords resting on the shields, shouting repeatedly, "Back off! Back off..."

The Gray Dwarf wouldn't listen; they braced themselves against their shields and even tried to snatch the swords from the Elf Warrior.

Kaka, who was maintaining order at the scene, was frightened by the actions of the Gray Dwarf. The Gray Dwarf behind him were also rushing forward, and a row of Half-Elf Warrior could not stop these strong Gray Dwarf at all.

Roy held the ' Hammer of Judgment Book ' in his hands, and then Roy a short prayer.

Holy light formed a dazzling divine rune in front of Roy, from which a Silver Hammer the size of a fist condensed.

' Hammer of Punishment '

If the ' Hammer of Judgment ' is an unstoppable punch, then the ' Hammer of Punishment ' is Holy Light Hammer that can sweep out and crush a whole group of enemies.

While its power is much less than that of the ' Hammer of Judgment ', and it's not invincible, its damage range is much wider...

The constantly spinning Holy Light Hammer suddenly appeared behind an Elf Warrior and then smashed into the forehead of a Gray Dwarf Gray Dwarf, who was knocked backward. The Holy Light Hammer flew sideways and smashed into the head of another Gray Dwarf next to him.

There was no bloody scene of shattered heads and splattered blood, but they successfully stopped the Gray Dwarf ' charge, allowing the Half-Elf Warrior from other places to quickly come to their aid.

The most ferocious of them all was the Dark Moon Elf squad led by Captain Tennyson. These Dark Moon Elf Warrior emerged from behind the Half-Elf like a spike and plunged into the midst of the Gray Dwarf.

All the Gray Dwarf who tried to return to the mine had bloody holes pierced through their bodies by sharp daggers.

In an instant, the group of Gray Dwarf fell into chaos. The charge of the Dark Moon Elf Warrior filled them with both shock and fear. They never expected that this new mine owner, who was so friendly to the Half-Elf miners, would be so tough on the Gray Dwarf.

Without giving the Gray Dwarf miners any chance to admit their mistakes, a large number of these unarmed Gray Dwarf miners fell to the ground in an instant.

With Captain Timothy's shout, Vice Captain Tennyson led the Dark Moon Elf Warrior into the darkness, becoming one with the night.

A group of Gray Dwarf were terrified and at a loss. They helped their injured companion to his feet, and seeing that the shield -Half-Elf Warrior in front of them did not seem to want to stop them, they hurriedly bandaged their companion's wounds.

The five Gray Dwarf hanging beside the furnace were bound like dumplings, but when they exchanged glances, they all saw in each other's eyes the terror and despair of facing death.

Seeing that his speech had been interrupted by the Gray Dwarf, Roy lost the will to continue and waved to Captain Timothy beside him.

Five Dark Moon Elf Warrior walked straight up behind the five Gray Dwarf Gray Dwarf and slit their throats with daggers.

Five Gray Dwarf fell one after another into pools of blood.

The two Gray Dwarf foremen were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. Just as they were in a panic, two Dark Moon Elf appeared behind them and silently slit their throats with daggers.

The group of Gray Dwarf immediately fell silent in fear...

"I'm sure you've all heard that I come from the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion. The main force of the legion is currently hunting down the Gray Dwarf pirates around the Empress Ivini Islands. If anyone wants to test my limits again, feel free to come at me. But I must give you all one last warning: if the Forge stops working because of you, I won't hesitate to exchange it for a bunch of Gray Dwarf prisoners of war!"

You can take what I'm saying as a threat, or you can see it as a disguised piece of advice!

After saying this, Roy turned and walked out of the Mithril Mine.

Kaka rarely saw such a bloody scene. He stood there blankly, his heart filled with a strange emotion.

As a beast hunter, Kaka has experienced many extremely dangerous hunts, but hunting magical beasts and killing these unarmed Gray Dwarf are completely different experiences.

This is also different from the last hunt for the Highland Slavers...

He stood there, stunned. Roy took a few steps, turned back to look at Kaka, then waved to him and said:

"Let's go, Kaka."

Kaka jogged a few steps and caught up with Roy.

Roy put a hand on Kaka's shoulder and said to him, "If you've seen the evil these Gray Dwarf Bandit have committed, then you absolutely will now."

"You talk like you've actually seen it!" Kaka said, somewhat unconvinced.

"I saw it. It was at the Third Mine. After taking over the Third Mine, I led the Elf Warrior of the Guard Squad into the mine. At that time, a group of Gray Dwarf were guarding the mine entrance. They controlled all the food that was given out each day, and they decided how much Gemstone Mine to deliver to the mine. I don't know how many Half-Elf miners died from exhaustion and starvation because of this..."

"When I went down there, the Half-Elf miners were digging an escape tunnel according to the plan of the Gray Dwarf. The tunnel was full of buried Half-Elf miners."

Kaka fell silent immediately. He clenched his fists and glanced at the group of Gray Dwarf miners with a complicated expression.

As they spoke, the two passed through the gates of the Mithril Mine and returned to the courtyard of the manor.

Although separated by only a large door, the noise from the furnace workshop did not seem to affect this side.

The moonlight was as white as snow, and the water jets in the fountain pool emitted a faint glow. The sound of the clear water flowing in the pool was like a series of pleasant musical notes, which greatly relaxed Kaka's tense mind.

"Actually, it was the headhunters who captured so many Half-Elf and brought them to various mines!" Roy added.

Kaka seemed to have suddenly found an outlet for his emotions. His eyes lit up and he angrily shouted, "That's right, it's those damned Highland Headhunters!"

In the morning, Roy sat on a bench in the garden, reviewing the various accounts of the Mithril Mine.

Commander Blaize left in a hurry, leaving the Mithril Mine to him. Although he explained the reserves of various supplies, he did not introduce the daily operation of the mine. Now Roy's headache is how to keep the mine running.

With the departure of the Half-Elf miners from the Mithril Mine, mining operations have been suspended.

Currently, only the Smelting Workshop is operating normally. Last night, the Gray Dwarf caused a disturbance, which directly resulted in the deaths of eleven Gray Dwarf.

The remaining Gray Dwarf were barely managing to keep the Smelting Workshop running, and simply didn't have the capacity to mine...

Roy tapped his head in frustration. Although he had written to the Valley Camp, hoping they could transfer a group of Gray Dwarf dwarf prisoners of war from the Elf Continent, even if the Valley Camp agreed to Roy's request, it would take at least two months before he could see the group of Gray Dwarf prisoners of war.

The furnace workshop cannot be shut down. In order to ensure the normal operation of the furnace Magic Rune Array, the mine must invest at least six Magic Crystal Stone every day.

When Commander Blaize left, he left behind a chest of Magic Crystal Stone Magic Crystal Stone, which could only keep the furnace running for another month.

Within a month, Roy must get back a box of Magic Crystal Stone to keep the furnace running...

Thinking about this gave Roy a headache.

On the second floor of the north building, in front of the corridor, a Half-Elf girl leaned on the railing with one hand, staring at Roy in the garden, who was carefully reviewing the account books.

She was a Half-Elf, and her pale gray skin could not conceal her Dark Moon Elf lineage...

She looked at the two Half-Elf Warrior at the top of the stairs and mustered her courage to walk over.

Last night, her mother sat by her bedside, gently stroking her hair, and whispered, "If we don't actively seek opportunities, it won't be long before they're on trial at the Padesto City Court. The charges against them will be ' Elf Slaves trading,' a capital offense punishable by life imprisonment in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. If we think of a way now, there's still a chance to escape..."

She gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her inner fear, and came to the stairwell.

Two Elf Warrior reached out to block her path. She turned her gaze to Roy, who was looking at the account books in the garden, and took a deep breath to make sure her voice didn't tremble when she spoke.

"The mine owner would like to say a few words to me..."

Her voice was soft, and she blushed slightly as she spoke because she was lying.

The two Half-Elf Warrior stared blankly at the elf girl. Her pampered upbringing had given her delicate skin, and with her light makeup, they assumed she was blushing.

The two Elf Warrior thought that Boss Roy really had a good eye, and with that thought, they lowered their hands to let the Half-Elf girl pass.

The Half-Elf girl hadn't even taken out the little gift she'd prepared, and the other party had already let her pass so easily...

She paused for a moment, then immediately lifted the hem of her skirt and ran quickly down the stairs.

As she walked step by step toward the bench by the fountain, the Half-Elf girl felt her legs go weak and her soles itch, a sensation that pierced right to her heart...

She even forgot the language she had just prepared. She was nervous, scared, and even a little embarrassed. She had never taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with a stranger before.

Ten steps away from Roy, the Half-Elf girl saw that Roy was holding a mineral ledger.

At that moment, Roy also noticed her.

Roy looked up at the Half-Elf girl in the white gauze dress in front of him, wondering where she had come from.

Roy subconsciously looked toward the second-floor staircase on the north side of the manor.

The Half-Elf girl pursed her lips, her gaze lowered, like a child who had done something wrong. She didn't continue walking forward, her face slightly flushed.

Her timid expression was so much like Moira's that Roy developed a certain fondness for her.

"If no new ore is added, it will take about two months for the furnace to run all this Mithril Mine ore into Mithril Ingot..."

The Half-Elf girl didn't even know why she was saying these things. She suddenly snapped out of it and stared at Roy with wide eyes.

Her original plan was to approach her, introduce herself, and then try to talk about topics related to music and art.

He'll talk about whatever topic he likes...

I didn't expect that after seeing some data in the ledger, those words would just slip out without thinking.

Roy looked at the elven girl in front of him in surprise...

He originally intended to call over Elf Warrior to take the Half-Elf girl back to her home, but now he has changed his mind.

"Do you understand this mine's ledger?" Roy couldn't help but ask.

"I am the daughter of the Sitney Mine Owners, and I occasionally come into contact with these things."

The Half-Elf girl said, her eyes filled with undisguised sadness.

Roy suddenly remembered that when he told him about Jefferson's death, Moira had looked at him with the same eyes. At that moment, his heart softened.

After hesitating for a moment, Roy waved to the two Elf Warrior who were about to approach and casually said, "Sit down and have a chat. If any Elven Guard bother or harass you, causing you any trouble, please tell me, and I can help..."
