The two small drows, who may not have reached the height of his thighs, were also startled by Li Wei's sudden shout. Among them, the taller one, who was carrying such a heavy ore, was able to immediately pull out the one from his waist.

Bone Blade stepped back and twisted around, seeming to want to hide in the shadow of the mine depending on the situation.

The little one beside him shrank behind the tall man like a frightened deer. When she saw a piece of ore that fell due to the violent movement and hit her head, she actually raised her slender hands to catch it as if she had foreseen it in advance.

The large piece of ore that made her brain bloom, but just looking at her trembling hands, one knew that she might not be specialized in strength.

But the moment they saw Levi, the two drow's movements froze. The tall one immediately threw the bone blade made of an unknown biological material into the ground, and stretched his body straight. Interestingly, he did not

Instead of using the etiquette of drow meeting superiors, they imitated the Zelandia security brigade and raised their hands in a military salute, shouting in a clear voice:

"Your Majesty Hogg! Miner Tristan No. 0013 of Hogg Mining Team No. 7 salutes you!"

His left hand reached behind him and took out the little drow sister hidden behind him. He saw that she also followed the instructions of her brother and shouted in a childish voice: "Your Majesty Hohog! Hogg!"

Cui Siting, the miner of Mining Team No. 0014, salutes you!"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two little ones who were so nervous that they were trembling for fear that he would be angry with them for their previous disrespectful reaction, Levi couldn't help but feel happy, and motioned the dwarf to pull down the mine cart's handbrake, and raised his claws towards them:

"Don't be afraid, come here, I won't eat you."

Tristan and his sister looked at each other in confusion, but in the end they still did not dare to resist Li Wei's order. His brother held his sister's little hand and tiptoed over under Li Wei's playful eyes.

It wasn't until he walked in that Levi intuitively felt the weight of the frame of ore behind Tristan. It probably weighed more than six hundred pounds. It was really hard to imagine that such a weak appearance contained so much strength.

"Good guy, he is a responsible and good brother, which is rare among you drow." Levi patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him, and asked again: "Will you come back to Zelandia with me?

?”

Tristan hesitated for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to refuse: "It's just half of today, I want to earn more."

Li Wei nodded, and did not ask him why he still worked so hard despite his strength, which could make them both live a good life. He no longer forced himself, "Then work hard. Some of the taxes you paid will be part of it."

It is intended to be used for construction planning. It is expected that the first school for mining children in Zeelandia will break ground soon, and you will all be able to come to school for free."

Hearing the word 'school', the eyes of the two Zhuoer brothers, which were originally a little dim, instantly glowed with hope.

Even Tiger on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Levi in ​​disbelief, breathing a little heavier.

"Then can I also learn arcane arts?" Tristan asked softly, staring at those green eyes, and his movement of raising his head also allowed Levi to see his whole face up close for the first time.

'She's so beautiful, probably even more delicate than some female drow.'

Li Wei sighed in his heart. With the addition of the dragon's aesthetics, Li Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, after thinking that the other party turned out to be a male drow, he couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, the male is beautiful and there is nothing wrong with the female.

Son.

He suppressed the exclamation in his heart and rubbed Tristan's hooded head, "Of course, we will open many courses later, including Common Language, various Elvish languages, Dragon Language, Devil's Contract, the eight major magic schools, and more.

There are advanced arcane sciences, and there are many, many more. As long as you want to learn them, I will slowly expand our school's teaching team and book collection."

"Then can I learn how these steaming large iron shells are made?" Cui Siting on the side also asked eagerly.

"It seems that you are more interested in mechanical dynamics, or science. This is a good start. We have a good teacher in Zelandia. His name is Ige. Maybe if we meet him in the future, he will like it.

Yours." Levi said to her with a smile.

"Yeah! I will definitely study hard." Cui Siting nodded her little head vigorously.

"Well, let's work hard first and look forward to Zelandia's future."

Levi was quite a magician, and he beguiled the two drow children who were stunned by happiness, and asked the gray dwarves to restart the steam locomotive.

Looking at the little guy who was still waving at him as his vision gradually widened, Li Wei smiled in his heart, "I hope you will go back and face more than 20 legal languages ​​​​and a sea of ​​complicated languages."

The same thing can be said about other subjects.'

"Boss, is what you just said true?" Tiger asked with a trembling voice.

"Can I still lie to you?" Li Wei couldn't help but said with a smile.

He then thought for a while and continued: "If what I expected is correct, the number of escaped slaves who have poured into our Zeelandia in the past two years should have become less and less."

'You also know this? Sure enough, in the past few years, even if he was away, he has not relaxed his control over Zelandia.' Tiger complained in his heart, but he responded: "Yes, the slaves in Gelthorn City generally maintain

A certain order of magnitude, and as a large number of escaped slaves were initially attracted by the Didi Mining Policy, the drow in Gelthorne City have unprecedentedly strengthened their supervision of the remaining slaves."

"Haha, this is obvious. If they don't take action, I'm afraid there will be no slaves available in a few years. Maybe the daily operation of Gelthorn City will be paralyzed. Of course, even bigger

Maybe they kill us before this happens."

Li Wei smiled and analyzed: "Without the influx of more foreign populations, our development in Zelandia will reach a bottleneck to some extent. Next, the population will only grow through natural reproduction, and these five

In the 1990s, under the constraints of losing food, I think more miner families would be willing to have more children. After five years, it is time to go to school."

"Boss is kind!" Tiger quickly handed over a dragon's fart, expressing joy from the bottom of his heart.

Knowledge has always been controlled by the superiors. The channels for the lower-level creatures to obtain knowledge are too few.

Just when Tiger was hesitating whether he should bring up the troublesome issue that has recently emerged, he heard Levi continue: "I'm afraid you are probably worried about the problem of not having enough drow elves now."

"Hahaha, the boss is wise. As the material resources in Zelandia began to become abundant, those guys who only knew how to think about problems with their lower bodies began to cause trouble. Because in the original custom street, except for a few who were still willing to work for Zelandia

The vast majority of drow technicians who are working on the front line to ensure stability have chosen to start families with some outstanding miners, and not all drow husbands are willing to be like the orc Droru.

I don’t mind being brothers-in-law with other miners, so in the past two years, there have been many forced cases like this. The key is that there is no good way. We can’t go to Gelthorn City to rob the elves.” Tai.

Ge Po said with a headache.

"That's naturally impossible. We don't have the force to start a full-scale war with Gelthorn City now, but we have the qualifications to at least speak on the same stage. I'm going to re-open a link between Zeelandia and the upper regions.

The passage will no longer be held hostage by Gelthorn City. By then, we can absorb the population of some surrounding gathering places. Only then can the problem of male-female imbalance be alleviated to the greatest extent. Otherwise, I’m afraid the drow haven’t come to us yet.

But, we ourselves were in chaos first."

Levi concentrated once again and made a decision that made Tiger's heart tremble, "Aren't you afraid that Zall will really fight?"

"At this critical moment, do they dare? It's time to show off our shoulders in front of this group of drow bichis who only know how to play small tricks all day long."

Just as Levi said these words, the steam locomotive had already driven out of the West Mining Area, and his eyes suddenly became empty and bright, but he had already returned to Zeelandia.

In front of the rather impressive Hogg Mining Building that had been built, a hundred-man Jackal honor guard left behind by Hoz lined up on both sides of the track. They all raised their hands in salute and shouted without squinting:

"Your Majesty Hoge! The first inspection team of Hoge Mining accepts your inspection!"

Behind the gnolls were the bald Fischer and Igor, who came in formation with a hundred-man battle group.

I saw these powerful masters who looked strong due to their long-term mining career. They all held a staff in one hand and a chain sword that was turning and roaring ferociously in the other hand, shouting in unison:

"Your Majesty Hoge! The First Battle Group of Hoge Mining accepts your review!"

And at the end, a total of three thousand gray dwarfs armed to the teeth with metal lined up in a larger and more orderly square formation, marching with unconventional but mighty steps, lined up at the end of the line, and raised their heads in unison.

With his hands at eyebrow level, fingers together and downward, he looked at Li Wei and saluted, "Salute to Your Majesty Hogg!"

But the old dwarf Tiger beside him slipped off the steam locomotive at some point and came to the legion's formation. He raised his warhammer and shouted enthusiastically:

"His Majesty Hogg! The first security group of Hogg Mining! Accept your review! Your will! It is our will! Wherever the sword is directed, it is our enemy!"

"Ho! For Hogg's crown!!!"
