Chapter 85: The new owner of the mine, please look forward to it)
Scene 85 The new owner of the mine (the third update, so stay tuned)
"No more, Senior Sister Nimesis."
Nymesis smiled, but then became serious again: "You have been more careful recently, and that kid has become restless recently. But they did it very covertly this time, and I can't catch them yet -"
Freya raised her head and looked at her worriedly.
"It doesn't matter," the black-haired female knight took a breath: "I'm here, just be careful."
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at the sky in the direction where the carriage disappeared. The sky in the north was a little gloomy, as if a terrible storm was brewing.
But will this storm come before late winter?
no one knows.
Nymesis only knew that people in the academy had begun to panic. This last territory of the kingdom might not be a safe haven, but the center of a huge whirlpool in the future. As for this short-term peace, it was just the illusion of the silence before the storm.
At least the female knight understands that in the north, in the port of Ambercel, a war without gunpowder is about to begin.
She turned back and took a deep look at Freya.
"Are you up to it?" she asked.
"What?" Freya was stunned.
The blank look of the future Valkyrie made Nymesis laugh. She covered her mouth slightly and replied somewhat interestingly: "Nothing -"
…
And in the last days of this complicated Frost Moon, everything seemed to come together. When the situation in the north became shaky, the same time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, PV, Shavlund
Two weeks have passed since the mine——
The incident that made everyone panic turned out to be a farce. The farce was widely circulated in the town at first, but was soon forgotten by people.
People are always forgetful. Except for the injured and the family members of the deceased who will always remember this day deeply, most people just returned to their original life track after just a week.
On the surface, the Schafflund Mine seems to be unchanged, maintaining its stale appearance for decades. But beneath the surface, something is slowly changing.
First of all, since Brando and others left the underground, Kuran's actions have been suppressed. At Brando's signal, the old man announced that he would temporarily transfer all duties in the mine to Okins, and then recuperate behind closed doors - as for
That cowardly police officer—in fact, he completely surrendered when Brando and Medisa broke into his office.
Nowadays, Yuta and more than twenty Black Iron Peak mercenaries are disguised as closely monitoring the assassin 24 hours a day. Even if he had a hundred thousand courage, he would not dare to pull any tricks.
In fact, contrary to what Brando expected, Okins seems to be more cautious and diligent now than before, so much so that he has won some praise among his civil servants who don't know the truth.
Those deputies probably thought that their elders had finally repented of their mistakes and become pragmatic and willing to work after shouldering the responsibility of the entire mining area.
Even the spies sent by Earl Denel to secretly monitor this young man have written favorable comments on their reports for two consecutive weeks.
Of course, each of these reports passed through Brando's hands. When Brando showed these reports to the timid police officer, the young man named Okins first
I scolded my mother once.
Of course, after he finished cursing, he looked around cautiously, as if he was afraid that his disrespect for Count Jean Denel would be heard by the informants around him.
This is what is called mud that cannot support the wall - Brando shook his head involuntarily.
However, in order to appease this timid and ambitious police officer, Brando made a promise to him, promising that he would not disclose the details of his work for them to anyone in the future, only that he would be imprisoned.
Another person similar to him was found to replace him.
Although this lie seemed to be revealed in a flash, it at least gave our police officer a psychological comfort. Now he is often in panic all day long, so he lives with this little psychological comfort.
As for Kuran, he was sent to Fir City the next day. When the old man saw Ciel, he knew that he couldn't run away. However, he still rejected Brando's intentional or unintentional overtures and instead asked the latter to keep his promise.
, let him go when the time is up.
When he saw this report, Brando smiled and shook his head at the desk in a room in the Trout Inn in the Forest in the town of Schaflund.
Kuran is obviously related to his grandfather, but the old swordsman has become silent and silent since he left the underground.
The young man is interested in finding out the truth about this secret from the other party, but given his temperament, he is not in a hurry. Anyway, he has plenty of ways - and in comparison, now he has more important things to be busy with.
So he put this matter aside for the first time and looked back at the petite back of the business lady who was immersed in a large pile of account books. After leaving the underground, he reprimanded the disobedient young lady.
pause.
However, he originally thought that Roman would ignore him for several days, but when he left the mining area, the girl who claimed to be a big businessman still held his hand tightly - as if she was holding some important treasure.
As if I was afraid of losing it.
This made Brando regret a little, wondering if his language was too strong.
Unexpectedly, within a few hours, this young lady would fall into her old ways and become arrogant again. Until Huque arrived and Brando ordered Juta to make a copy of the account book from the mining area and send it out, little Roman
Only then did I really calm down.
She has been working for two days, and her progress is incredibly fast - businessmen do seem to have an innate talent in this area - she can easily distinguish what they want from complicated numbers and abbreviations.
Fortunately, Warnd's accounting method is actually quite simple and is still at a very primitive stage. Roman quickly investigated the shortfalls of Okins and others and counted out some of the loopholes in the accounts one by one.
However, Brando understands that it is not yet time to carry out drastic liquidation in the mining area. At least in name, this place is still under the jurisdiction of Count Jeandenel. He and Roman can only enter the mining area to meet Jutta casually.
Spy's attention.
In fact, the more than twenty newly deployed mercenaries were all under the name of the need to replenish the soldiers who were killed and injured in the mining disaster. These people will not be needed for too long, so that Count Denel will not let too many appear in the area under his jurisdiction.
Unfamiliar faces.
At most, new soldiers will be replenished in a month - of course Brando can still obstruct it, but it will only delay it for two months at most.
Two months is enough for Brando.
Therefore, he suppressed the matter and waited for the future to settle the accounts. However, in addition to the most important matter at the moment, some small things also gave him a headache.
For example, the young men who came out of the underground with them - Ke Wen, Qiao Ka and Maher. Brando admired the thin young man very much, or the future King of Rendenel - because no matter from Brando
Everything we know or have seen proves that this young man will never be willing to be an ordinary person.
In fact, the performance of this thin young man underground also confirmed this.
But to Brando's surprise, Ke Wen rejected his recruitment. The young man made it clear that he and his friends would leave this place - and go out to the outside world according to their original plan.
This news made Brando a little regretful. King Jeandenel was not an ordinary person, but he also knew that such people could not be forced to stay. He could only let them stay in the town of Shaflund temporarily and wait until two months later.
Make your own choice to stay or leave.
On the other hand, Brando failed to stay among those who should have stayed. However, he did stay among those who should not have stayed.
The weird old dwarf claimed to be the only descendant of the rune dwarf - and his performance in the underground world seemed to confirm this - of course this was nothing. What really made Brando a little strange was that this
The guy seemed to be appearing in front of him intentionally or unintentionally these past few days.
Of course, the old dwarf with a bad temper may not necessarily give his nominal lord a good look, but at least he is not as cold-faced as before.
But for this reason, Brando still quietly put away the Sword of the Earth. He was originally worried that this was the purpose of the old dwarf. Unexpectedly, after he put away the sword, the other party remained the same as before - as if he was not affected at all.
In this regard, Brando could only attribute the other party's behavior to a mental disorder, and then turned around and ignored this guy.
Because within a few days, another more important thing completely diverted his attention——
Huque led people to the mine. They will find a way to secretly transport all the silver ore stored in the warehouse in Shafrund Town, smelt it and send it to Firland to be minted into currency.
At the same time, the tiger bird brought Brando good news.
In fact, on the third day after they left, Charles found Grudin's private mint from a nearby manor. However, there was a small episode - the noble private soldiers hiding in the manor.
After realizing that their whereabouts had been exposed, they immediately sealed the door to prevent the mercenaries from entering, and even shouted that they would resist until the last person.
Such behavior obviously angered the leader of a small mercenary group that had defected to Brando at the time. The guy was called Madelan. Compared with his strength, his fiery temper was more well-known. So at that time he was prepared to give these
A lesson for mercenaries——
Since they want to resist until the last person, then he must fulfill their wishes!
However, just when this powder keg was about to be sealed, our young wizard vetoed his request. Charles only asked someone to bring Madeleine one sentence: wait and see what happens.
This sentence has worked wonders.
Only the next day, the originally arrogant private soldiers of the nobles waved the white flag and opened the door in dejection to surrender. Although the mercenaries present at the time were all mysterious about the mysteriousness of the wizard.
But soon, they realized that it wasn't really a big deal.
the reason is simple.
At this time, the news of Sir Mintai's fiasco has spread throughout Tonigel——
…
