Chapter 194 Nield Mine
Nield Mine, a mine located west of Huiyao City.
Its main output is iron ore and some associated magical metals. Occasionally, some rare gems can be dug out from it, which is considered an important source of financial income for Huiyao City.
Unlike dwarves who are naturally good at mining, humans' mining technology is quite backward and they are still in the stage of just learning how to use minecarts.
What kind of magic mining machine is this... Just think about it. There are still some pickaxes enchanted with the solidity spell.
Therefore, human mining requires more labor than the advanced miners of the dwarves.
This puts the administrative pressure on the mines extremely high.
The only way to maintain a healthy mining speed is to invest enough people.
But when there are too many people, problems with eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and discipline will arise.
During a meeting of the House of Representatives, a Halfling congressman suddenly had an idea and thought that he could recruit some idle Halflings to do odd jobs such as washing clothes and cooking in the mines.
After all, the needs of a halfling are much lower than those of a human.
So the Nield Mine became a very special and orderly existence.
The stronger humans were responsible for mining and transporting cartloads of ore out of the mines, while the weaker halflings worked as cooks on the ground in the mines.
Originally, this was a positive example of racial integration and coexistence, but for some unknown reason, these halflings suddenly rioted.
No one knew what had happened, so the good-tempered halflings blocked the mining area.
Then they sent representatives to deliver a message to the council members of Radiant City, saying that if they did not give the halflings enough gold coins, they would start killing people.
I don’t know if it was a brain injury or just opposition for the sake of opposition, but the House of Representatives’ agenda completely ignored the original intention from day one.
Some members of the House of Representatives began to shout that halflings would always be a big trouble and called for the complete elimination of these short guys.
Others seemed much more rational, saying that those halflings with quick minds but simple needs could not possibly play such a big game, and that there must be a "higher" person behind the scenes directing them, and that a thorough investigation was necessary.
Then, a strange scene appeared.
The pro-war congressmen arranged the administrative departments they controlled to send batches of soldiers to the Nield Mine;
The investigative congressmen arranged for some soldiers from various law enforcement departments to knock on doors every house in the city like the Imperial Guards, trying to catch halflings everywhere.
For a time, the people in Huiyao City were in panic.
No one knows whether these political guys are using the halfling riots to eliminate dissidents or they have other plans.
Anyway, things like what happened at the Seven Strings Inn happen from time to time.
What Xiuman wanted Alvin to do was to sneak into the Nield mining area and find the investigation team he had sent in earlier - that group of people were taken as new hostages and detained by the Halflings.
By taking advantage of the druid identities of Ivan and his group, the halflings did not make things difficult for them - the image of druids in other people's minds was difficult to describe, and under normal circumstances no one wanted to provoke a druid.
If there are any findings, bring the information back as soon as possible so that Shuman can carry out his own political actions;
If no decent intelligence is found, Alvin can also bring the intelligence team back - of course, Shuman is willing to pay enough ransom for his intelligence team.
"So you're just going to agree to work for a perverted politician and take us sisters with you?"
The short girl Lian sat by the window of the carriage, baring her little fangs and staring at Ivan fiercely.
"Lian, didn't you have a good impression of City Lord Xiuman before?
Why do you say he is a pervert?"
Xiling was sitting on the other side, not quite understanding why her sister had such a big change in attitude towards the city lord.
"It's all because of the perverted sister—because of the perverted Ivan!
I heard it all. They used to be good friends, really good friends!
The only person who can play with a pervert is a pervert!
Sister, let me tell you, the aristocratic perverts love to play with mixed-race maids...
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…
Jigujijijijiji..."
Sitting on the bench at the front of the carriage, Alvin's forehead was full of black lines.
The city guards who were driving behind a layer of wooden boards were also confused.
The little girl behind has a really sharp tongue.
Our city lord is handsome, rich, and has great ideals and ambitions, so how could he become a pervert?
The city guard's name was Percy. His flaxen curly hair and dark skin made him look less like a local.
But Percy did live in Radiant City since he was a child.
Although he has no parents, the old lord of Huiyao City set up the Lord's Welfare Home to take in orphans who have lost their parents for various reasons.
So compared to ordinary homeless children, Percy's growing up experience was like a paradise.
As he gets older, Percy begins to discover his own little secrets.
He often waited until the lights were turned off, then hid in the bathroom alone, fiddling with it for a long time and was reluctant to come out.
No one knows what this dull kid is doing.
Until one day, the underage town lord Xiuman was wandering around and broke into the bathroom and discovered Percy's secret.
Percy, who had been very self-abased and had planned to leave, unexpectedly gained the friendship of this young nobleman because of Shuman's cheerfulness and frankness.
From that time on, Percy became a die-hard fan of Heuman Radiance.
After Shuman took over the position of city lord, Percy also joined the city guards and protected his friends as the city lord's bodyguard.
It has to be said that the old city lord’s investment in these orphans was very successful.
Percy not only possesses loyalty beyond that of ordinary people, but also has outstanding melee skills and divine talent.
If Percy hadn't wanted to leave Shuman, he would have been recruited by the church he believed in and become a paladin.
However, this city guard still possesses both warrior and priest professions, and both have reached the intermediate level.
The part-time combat priest was thinking whether or not to lift the curtain behind him and clear the name of his city lord before the little girl got too excited.
Suddenly, a bullet accurately hit the neck of the packhorse, knocking the sturdy creature to its knees.
Percy's expression became serious. He reached out to pick up the warhammer hanging on his waist, jumped off the carriage and became alert.
Immediately afterwards, the second sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a projectile attacked the carriage.
The target this time is Percy's head.
