Since ancient times, those who have mines at home have been rich.
Ironforge Village is famous for its mines, but the poor people who guard the mines have to beg for food. Because the mines were sealed when the elves withdrew, leaving only a few mined veins.
For Fei Zhe, elven ruins are very illusory things, and his own mine is the serious matter. He gave Zhou Qingfeng a gift in the hope of opening the closed mine in advance.
I thought I was going to give him a small statue of a work of art, but it turned out to be a valuable golem. I hesitated for a moment and ended up losing everything, and I almost fell out.
When Zhou Qingfeng appeared in the meeting hall just now, the human leaders of the Black Forest came to greet him respectfully, shook hands and honored them. But when it came to specific interests, they immediately revealed their greedy and selfish nature.
In order to defeat Fei Zhe, Zhou Qingfeng not only accepted the Archer Golem sent by the other party, but also made his selfish plot public. The leaders of other villages were not stupid and immediately knew Fei Zhe's thoughts and put him on the opposite side.
Fei Zhe was tall and burly, with a ferocious face. He was already holding his breath, but now he was holding back his anger.
But now in front of everyone, he was at a disadvantage in his own territory. He could only follow Zhou Qingfeng's wishes and said in a rough voice: "It would be best if Mr. Hugo can help."
Zhou Qingfeng chuckled loudly, shouted "Quenya" and took back the archer golem, and waved to the other leaders who came to support him, "Although it is very late, no one wants to rest. Let's all come together.
, see the elves’ mines.”
Wow..., there was a loud noise from the leaders and subordinates of each family, and they all rushed towards Zhou Qingfeng. At the same time, more than a dozen people asked about the mine. After all, if there is a mine, there is money, and with money, there is power.
With power comes status.
Important matters related to life and death cannot be ignored.
This appears to be Fei Zhe giving a big gift, but in fact he is digging a hole for the other party - Fei Zhe has to jump in himself.
Everyone was chatting, but Zhou Qingfeng didn't answer any questions. He walked through the village familiarly, followed the track of the ground transport pulley for several hundred meters, and came to the entrance of the nearest mine.
The mine was built in front of a cliff in the canyon in the village, and was excavated diagonally downward. The entrance to the cave was blocked by the villagers with wooden boards, and it has not been opened for many years. Zhou Qingfeng stopped in front of the cave entrance, and someone behind him asked in a low voice: "
Do you want to take it apart?"
"Yeah." Zhou Qingfeng nodded.
As soon as the village leaders winked, seven or eight strong men came forward with knives and axes, and smashed open the several-meter-high mine entrance.
Broken wooden boards were scattered on the ground, revealing an earthen wall with an elven relief.
The big men who started to demolish it got out of the way, and Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward holding a torch to illuminate the relief pattern on the unearthed wall. Everyone immediately gathered around and marveled.
Fei Zhezheng looked unhappy. He didn't know whether he wanted Zhou Qingfeng to open the mine, or he couldn't. He stood behind the crowd and said bitterly: "The elves have too much to do, so they just block the mine, and they also block the entrance to the mine."
It looks like a work of art.
But don’t underestimate this earthen wall. Our village has tried its best to destroy it. Even if you dig it open, it will be restored the next day, making your efforts in vain.”
After hearing this, everyone started talking again. Some people lamented that the elves' pursuit of art made one wall so beautiful. Some people wondered if this was a mine, because it was so different from a human mine.
More people ridiculed Feizhe's incompetence, and Ranger Luke teased mercilessly: "Of course a fool can't open the mine left by the elf, but the fair and selfless Lord Hugo certainly can."
"Yes, Mr. Hugo is the smartest and most knowledgeable. He can definitely do things that we can't do." Someone immediately spoke in agreement.
Some people even praised him unreasonably, "In my heart, the greatness of Sir Victor Hugo is unimaginable. He is like the sun mural we saw, penetrating our hearts and illuminating this dark world."
Uncle Zhou reacted strangely to the unskilled flattery. He raised the torch and looked carefully at the earthen wall, which was painted with ancient trees, flowers, elk, and wild beasts at different locations. There were also lines that connected these patterns.
connect together.
"This is not a relief, it is a closed magic circle of elves." Cyric said, "Those pointed-eared guys like to play this trick. The humans in the Black Forest are too stupid, and their understanding of magic is almost zero. Stretch out your hand,
I'll teach you how to get in."
Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand and pressed it on the ancient tree in the middle of the closed earth wall. Then his fingers slid along the branches of the ancient tree to an elk in the upper right corner.
The elk pattern was lit up.
Wow...
The crowd following behind him shut up in surprise and held their breath to watch Zhou Qingfeng's movements carefully.
Zhou Qingfeng's palm just slid back and forth on the pattern of the earthen wall, seemingly random but actually in a certain order. Finally, when the surrounding patterns were all lit up, the ancient tree in the middle also glowed.
The originally solid earth wall rippled and became blurry...
Zhou Qingfeng's palms sank into the earth wall, and as he raised his legs, he walked into the earth wall.
Fei Zhe was originally muttering behind the crowd, but when he saw Zhou Qingfeng easily restraining himself, he immediately stepped forward and wanted to enter the earth wall.
But after Zhou Qingfeng was placed in the earthen wall, it turned from empty to solid again. Fei Zhe hit the wall with a loud bang, rebounded and fell to the ground. The guy's nosebleed after being hit, but he yelled wildly:
"This is my mine, let me in quickly."
Other human adventurers also rushed forward, crowding in front of the earth wall, touching and smashing. After discovering that the earth wall had not been opened, someone screamed: "We have been fooled, that Victor Hugo is a liar,
He fooled us all."
Everyone turned around and saw that this was Luke who had just loudly praised Lord Hugo for being "just and selfless". This ranger had been following Zhou Qingfeng for the past two days and witnessed a series of miracles performed by the latter, but as soon as interests were involved, he immediately
Betrayal.
fraud?!
I have to say that there are too many liars in the Black Forest.
Among the people gathered by Zhou Qingfeng, which one did not grow up in cunning and cunning conspiracies? Everyone is a master of deception, and the first reaction when they find something wrong is that they have been deceived.
Fei Zhe was the most angry. He stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted loudly: "Damn liar, you have no right to occupy my mine. This is my territory, and I am the master here."
Later, some people were more imaginative, "This is a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy. We were gathered here by this kid. Someone must want to kill us all and seize our foundation."
"Our villages are currently lacking defense and may be breached at any time."
"This liar must be in league with the goblins. He deliberately lured us, just to block us all in Ironforge Village."
"We were so stupid that we were fooled so easily. What now? We are going to be screwed, we are really screwed."
The shouting and cursing was noisy and boiling. Everyone was running around like headless flies. No one could come up with an idea. After a while, the originally blocking earth wall suddenly disappeared...
Fei Zhe was beating the wall like crazy, furious, and cursing. The wall disappeared, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and he fell like a dog.
The noisy crowd fell silent for an instant, turning their heads to look at the dark mine, all in a daze.
A fire lit up inside the cave, and Zhou Qingfeng, who was holding a torch, walked out with light steps. Looking at the chaotic crowd outside, he asked strangely: "I opened the mine. But in just a moment,
What are you doing?"
Zhou Qingfeng also lowered his head, looked at Fei Zhe who was lying at his feet, and asked: "What's the matter with the blood on your face? Who hit you?"
"I..., we..., are very worried about the safety of Mr. Hugo." Fei Zhe hesitated, his face turned red, "I just realized my mistake and was very upset, so I thought
I have been following your steps. Is there blood on your face... I was so excited that I accidentally bumped into it.
Because you are like the sun in the sky. We have been waiting for you for decades. You are too important to us. We cannot lose you." Fei Zhe struggled for a long time and held back these words.
Everyone was in chaos at first, and they were excited and noisy in front of the cave entrance. But now they nodded in unison like chickens pecking at rice, and replied in unison: "Yes, yes, you are the sun, the sun in the sky."
