Travel to another world and become a great sage

The guards and miners were all surprised to see the green ghost saluting. It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess really appointed this weak human being as a mining officer!

Like many people, the green ghost didn't take this appointment very seriously. How can a human being with no power deserve to lead everyone? However, it is inconvenient for Tiana to say more, so she made a gesture of invitation: "Please come inside, sir and lady." Speak, Joan, go and get something to eat! The rest of you...do what you need to do!"

Hu Jiu and Tiana followed the tauren into the stone house. The facilities in the stone house were very simple, just two stone tables, a few chairs, and a bed at the back.

"I'm sorry, miss, the conditions here are very difficult, there is nothing to entertain, just eat something later." The green ghost invited the two to sit down, and asked Tiana: "Miss, when do you plan to return to Darkmoon City?" ?”

Tiana shook her head: "I was ordered by the eldest princess to protect Hu Jiu here until his work ends or he is transferred."

The green ghost was slightly startled, then nodded with a complicated expression.

Hu Jiu saw it, pondered for a while, and asked, "Green ghost, we just came here, can you give us a brief introduction of the situation here?"

The tauren hesitated for a moment, then began to speak.

Beilang Mountain is extremely rich in mineral deposits, and the mine has a long history. It has always been the largest and most important resource place in Dark Moon.After the turmoil in the Beelzebub royal family that occurred in the dark moon 400 years ago, the prosperous dark moon began to go into ruin, and many accidents happened to the mines one after another. The lower layer of the mine is equivalent to controlling the largest ore vein area, which makes mining more difficult and life-threatening at every turn.

More than a year ago, a powerful gang of blood plague thieves appeared again. They not only robbed and killed the caravan sent by Princess Restia, but also harassed the mine from time to time. They also sent teams to occupy the main mine and several newly opened mines. small mines, and also killed miners who went to mine.

Now the miners can only mine some cheap open-pit ore under the leadership of the green ghosts while defending against the attacks of thieves. Although the danger is reduced, the income and output are extremely low.

The eldest princess once sent Sheriff Weibull to exterminate the thieves because of the caravan, but they were defeated by the thieves twice in a row.

Tiana heard that the situation in the mine was so bad, much worse than what she learned from Restia, she frowned and said, "Why didn't you report to Darkmoon City?"

"We have reported countless times," the green ghost sighed, "but even the army sent by Darkmoon City failed, what else can we do? If Miss didn't come today, I thought Her Highness the Eldest Princess had given up on us gone."

Hu Jiu knew that the immediate superior of the mine was the financial officer, Caiaphas, so it was "reasonable" that the limited information reached Restia's ears, and immediately asked a key question: " What happened to the last mining officer?"

The previous mining officer was Tim from the Karl family. The green ghost had a high opinion of Mr. Tim, and his disdain for Hu Jiu was faintly revealed in his words.After Tim came to the mine, he made a series of rectification measures, which were quite prestigious.At that time, the main scourge of the mine was underground creatures. Tim brought a group of people to the main mine pit to investigate the situation. All of them disappeared suddenly. They couldn't even find their bodies. They were probably buried in the mouth of monsters.

Hu Jiu calculated the time. When Tim was here, Restia hadn't sent a caravan to the west, so there were only sporadic thieves at most. Once the caravan was sent, a powerful gang of thieves appeared correspondingly, which was obviously targeted. of.After cutting off the commercial road to the west, the target of control was transferred to the mines. It seemed that they wanted to tighten An Yue's neck step by step until she died completely.

The reason why they left a way out for the green ghosts was not because of the benevolence of the thieves, but because they hadn't reached the last moment and didn't want to attract Restia's attention. Once a certain time came, Hu Jiu could imagine , the gangsters from all over the place are planning to kill at the same time, even if Restia has a talent beyond the sky, she can only sit and wait to die. This is a very careful and vicious plan.

I am here this time, and there is a task assigned by Master Anshelek." Hu Jiu thought about it, and said the most important purpose of this trip, "Master is now experimenting with a strange potion, which needs that kind of waste mine Can you show me the crystal powder on it? "

"Waste ore? Crystal powder?" The green ghost frowned for a moment, and then realized: "You mean something attached to the iron ore, right? That crystal is very troublesome, and it is very difficult to remove it, let alone get rid of it. It turned into powder. And this kind of waste ore with crystals is only found in the main mine of Beilang Mountain, and it is now under the control of the thieves."

Hu Jiu asked again without giving up: "Where are the former abandoned mines?"

The green ghost replied: "The waste mines are all piled up in the waste mine room. The waste mine room is in a corner of the upper floor of the main mine pit. Now the amount of ore produced is too small. Several people once stole the waste mines and transported them back to the city together. Later Spotted by thieves, he was killed."

Hu Jiu frowned. I heard Zach mention this matter before, but I didn't expect the real situation to be even worse. Every piece of the abandoned mines transformed in the blacksmith's shop in Darkmoon City was stained with the blood of the miners!

Tiana said angrily: "It's disgusting! Green ghost, we must find a way to exterminate those thieves!"

"Miss, don't be impulsive!" The green ghost shook his head: "There are more than 200 thieves in Beilang Mountain, and the leader is a big demon named Tegoya, who is one of the two deputy heads of the blood plague thieves group. , the peak high-level demon, and there are three high-level demons under him, who are powerful, and we are no match at all. Besides, this is only a small part of the blood plague bandit group! It is said that the strength of the leader of the bandit bandit is unfathomable. It has already surpassed the level of high-level demons. Miss, listen to my advice and return to Dark Moon City quickly, Beilang Mountain is too dangerous."

"No, I want to complete the task assigned by the eldest princess, otherwise I will never go back!" Tiana's attitude was very firm. In fact, she requested this trip from Restia herself.

Hu Jiu fell into deep thought after hearing about the strength of the Blood Plague Thieves Group: The strength of this bandit group is quite terrifying. Now there are four high-level demons entrenched in Beilang Mountain. ", nor an opponent.

Tiana is currently in the middle of the high-level, Hu Jiu is roughly equivalent to the early-level of the high-level, Kapichu's strength is the second-level, high-level demon, the specific level is unknown, but there is no special attack method, only the "immortal body" can resist .

Three high-levels vs. four high-levels seems to be slightly inferior, but in fact it cannot be counted like this.Tegoya is already at the pinnacle of the high level, and he can defeat everyone on Hu Jiu's side by himself, so he is absolutely invincible.

However, the biggest purpose of Hu Jiu's trip was not to deal with the bandits, but the waste mines that had accumulated for hundreds of years, that is, the massive energy value. In any case, it was better to explore the situation first.

At this time, a dark elf walked in, it was Joan, the vice-captain who was going to get food, and he brought two bowls of lala potato-like food, a large dry biscuit and some fruits.

Tiana frowned and said, "Do you usually eat this?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Tiana," the green ghost showed an embarrassed look, "now that the conditions are getting more and more difficult, this is already the best food here, and many miners only eat one meal a day."

Joan said: "Those thieves controlled the nearby water sources and prey. If it weren't for the captain's arrangement and leadership, we would have starved to death even if we hadn't been killed."

It was only then that Tiana and Hu Jiu understood why everyone looked weak. It turned out that they couldn't even guarantee food and clothing.

"You shouldn't be sorry to me, Green Goblin." Tiana stood up and bowed slightly to the Green Goblin. "I didn't expect you to stick to this kind of place for four years. I should pay tribute to you."

The green ghost hurriedly got up to return the gift, and Hu Jiu took out all the remaining prey on the road from the space bracelet, and said, "Green ghost, ask someone to clean up these prey, and then make some biggest pots, and then everyone will be killed." Call Yuan, let's have some soup together."

The green ghost showed a look of surprise, and quickly asked Qiao An to take a few prey down to make a fuss, and finally looked at Hu Jiu with a little more affection.

Soon, the fire was lit, and a few huge iron pots were set up. Hu Jiu started to stew the soup by himself, and added some seasonings.

The climate in Beilang Mountain is cold, and the steaming cauldron and the long-lost smell of meat make all the nearby demons salivate. If it weren't for the prestige of the green ghost, all the demons and ghosts would have come up to snatch it.

Joan gathered almost all the miners. There were about 500 to [-] people. Most of them were small demons and goblins, and a few were dark elves and horned demons. Almost everyone looked at the new mining officer with great expectations. ...the pots next to it.

Before distributing the broth, Hu Jiu started the first intensive lecture of the mining officer.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Jiu. I was originally the secretary of His Royal Highness the Princess. I was recently recommended by the financial officer Caiaphas to become a mine officer." Hu Jiu said the draft that he had planned a long time ago. You may have heard that I have another identity, the only apprentice of Master Anshelek. Yes, I am a weak human being, but I have already obtained the master's true inheritance of poison, for example..."

"Can you give me your pickaxe?" Hu Jiu came to the nearest dark goblin. The goblin didn't expect humans to find him, and subconsciously held the pickaxe tightly and dared not let go.

Hu Jiu was too lazy to be polite, grabbed it, held it up high, and waved it casually, the hard pick began to decay rapidly, scattered like rotten wood.

"This is one of the dozens of poison techniques taught by the master," Hu Jiu said while pulling a tiger skin as a banner, showing a vicious expression, "If an enemy falls into my hands, I would be happy to add another poisonous technique." Experiment."

This move obviously frightened many people present, and the noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
