Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

At this point, let's focus on the steel radish mine.

Located on the outskirts of Steel Radish City, this medium-sized mine currently sits on three veins, and since some time ago, a batch of exquisite Victorian mining tools have been shipped here.

Since then, the efficiency of the workers has greatly improved, but only efficiency.

Miners at Rembiton have always been high-risk occupations.

Not only is the mutation rate skyrocketing due to perennial contact with source stone rough ore, but a collapse mine disaster is even enough to kill dozens of hundreds of miners on the spot.

......

At this time, on the periphery of the Steel Radish Mine, at the entrance of the mine, an inspector of the Rem Biton Union was patrolling some of the situation of the mine.

In fact, in order to avoid a repeat of the bad incidents such as black mines and fence incidents, all mines regularly send inspectors to review a series of regulations.

First the external review is carried out, and then down the mine is carried out to review the internal mining process.

However, after inspecting the perimeter of the mine, the inspector just stood on tiptoe at the entrance of the mine cave and looked at it, and it seemed that he did not mean to enter.

In front of the inspector's eyes, stood an old Pello servant in a suit, and he looked at the inspector without saying a word, as if they were already familiar with each other.

It stands to reason that this inspection is "over", and the next inspector of Rem Bito will leave.

Only this time, he didn't.

Poof....

The inspector actually moved under his feet, wanting to enter the interior of the underground mine, which was a normal move, but his greedy eyes betrayed his actual thoughts.

“...... Don't go too far. The

old servant of Pelo immediately stepped forward and stopped him, and the old man's chest almost pressed against the inspector.

"I have to add five more Rem Billiton coins from today, I'm under a lot of pressure and need to make connections."

The inspector glanced at the deep mine cave and said so.

"One last time."

The old servant of Pelo quietly flowed the five gold coins from the gap in his palm to the inspector's pocket in a special way, and his tone became a little cold:

"Five gold coins... You have to swallow at least three... But if you are insatiable, there is a limit to the tolerance of the one standing behind us, don't spend money on funerals at that time. The

inspector shook the gold coin in his hand, not knowing whether he was testing the weight of the gold coin or his own, took a deep look at Pelo's old servant, and left with his subordinates.

Yes, this inspector of the Rem Billiton union has been bought.

......

After the inspector left, the old servant of Pelo left in a hurry, he had something very important to tell his young master.

After about ten minutes, he arrived at the center of the Iron Radish Mine, in a mansion that was not luxurious, but still quite exquisite, Lornes's mansion.

"..."

The old servant is familiar with the light car here, enter the door avenue, turn left, turn right at the end of the corridor, the third room.

Click....

He pushed open the door, and in front of him, a young Carters in the same suit was facing away from him, facing the window, holding a cigarette in his hand, then lit it and put it in his mouth.

"Here you are."

The young man Carters turned his head and faced the old servant.

"Master Fick..."

said the gray-haired old servant of Pelo in a respectful tone.

The youth of Carters in front of him is completely different from the youth and sunshine of Fica, replaced by a strange maturity and sharpness, which is often reflected in the sudden changes in the past.

The suit he wears is even more expensive.

It is a "White Morning Light" brand set tailored for him by Victorian craftsmen, and this outfit is worth decades of savings from ordinary Rembiton families.

It can be seen that he is indeed well-conditioned.

But his figure did not become bloated due to the abundance of material conditions, on the contrary, the height of the whole person in his early eight meters was extremely capable, and the slim pure white suit well outlined the lines of his body.

Next to his short black-brown ear-length hair was a slightly childish handmade crane decoration, which was given to him by Fick's sister, and he has kept it until now.

Fick's whole temperament gives people a strong sense of refinement, but it is a little uncomfortable.

This is Fika's brother, Fick Lones.

Although orthodoxy, Fika is the sole heir to the Steel Radish Mine, once Fika dies, Fika ascends the throne as the first heir.

Is Fick bad?

Nope....

He's much better than Fica.

If you are lucky enough to be in Victoria's city of schools, Ronwia, then you must know that the most famous university in this city of schools, the University of Aesliat.

Almost all the majors in this institution are the best teachers and the best resources, and the crowded library is filled with knowledge and unlimited borrowing.

Most of the students enrolled here are the children of well-known people, such as the thirteenth duke of Cumberland, who graduated and studied steam military fields.

As soon as he took office, he made outstanding contributions to the Lion King, and advanced Victoria Steam Military Science to the level of at least ten years.

And Fick Logs, one of the very few non-Victorian nobles who was unexpectedly admitted to it, studied source stone veins and graduated from it.

This elite seedling has just left the soil when olive branches follow.

But Fick quietly left Victoria and came to his hometown of Rembito to develop in his family's industry, the steel radish mine.

And have been developing it until now.

"Your brother... Fika is back, now at the border, Master Fick.

The old servant said in a complicated tone.

"Wow... I thought he had died halfway down the road, and he hadn't been heard from for so long.

Fick lightly lit a cigarette, blew out a cloud of mist, and

said, "You said, what did he come back this time,

Master."

Masters immediately said:

"... Master Fick, I guess it's just as you think.

"Nowadays, the Steel Radish Mine only needs one voice, your voice."

The Carters boy, dressed in a delicate suit, stood up, his eyes as sharp as an eagle vulture, and said:

"Well, he will spoil my business... Mast...... You know what I'm going to do next.

Masters immediately pulled out a roster from his waist:

"Master Fick... That's all the bounty hunters and mercenaries we could contact nearby, but they've heard about your recent production and profitability..."

Fick responded

, "It's a lot of money,

isn't it?"

Masters paused, and his tone was a little angry:

"Yes, these mercenaries and bounty hunters are simply schistosomiasis in the wilderness."

"They... It's simply a lion's mouth, the three most famous mercenary regiments, Blood Wolf, Iron Eagle, and Desolate Poison... Even open your mouth to ask for a third of the shares of the steel radish mine. "

I don't know, Master Fick, they don't know what they want, this thing is not at all something that ordinary people can eat, the one standing behind you..."

Fick interrupted Masters and said,

"What about the other bounty hunters?" Or miners?

In fact, he also knew what he was talking about, and Master's next remarks also confirmed his thoughts:

"Master Fick, the resources in our vicinity are basically monopolized by these three mercenary groups, and the other bounty hunters are just a bunch of rabble, as are the mine bandits."

"Even if other bounty hunters take our list and really do it, they will definitely be cut off by these three halfway, and they will be blackmailed into paying shares in exchange for Fika's head."

"This matter is still in a hidden state, if those mercenary groups put your... Fika's matter was stabbed out and reported to Rembitto's guild, and it was really troublesome.

Fick took another puff of smoke, his brows furrowed, and said:

"Originally, I only planned to release a simple assassination mission, why did I leak the news and let those killers know that this time my target is my brother?"

"If it weren't for this news leakage, let them know that this is definitely a struggle for family inheritance, and the interests are not small, and they will not ask us to have 30% of the shares."

Masters bowed lightly and said, "

It's a few miners who don't know where they heard about Fika's re-entry into Rembito, and we have dealt with it immediately,

but... It's too late.

"This is my dereliction of duty, please punish me."

Fick shook his head and responded:

"This is something that can't be helped, I already have a bad premonition, now punishing you won't help, go and find a way to make up for it."

At this time, the cigarette in Fick's hand had burned to the end, and he flicked the cigarette butt into the delicate ashtray on the side, and continued to speak:

"Sancheng shares... Scold...... It's really a lot of rice, and I'm not afraid of frying my stomach.

"

Yes, but Fika has already come in from the west of Rembito, and at this distance, if they have a wasteland crawler, it will only take a day or two to reach the steel radish mine."

Fix pondered for a while

, and said

to Master: "We don't have many options, first agree to the request of the three mercenary groups, and then make plans, but I must inform Count Drout about this."

Master waved his fist hatefully:

"Damn, do we really have to let that flock of bloodsucking insects lie on our hearts and suck blood?" These dicks have no idea how much effort you have put into the Steel Radish Mine.

Fick responded:

"In any case, Fika must not be allowed to come back, once he returns, everything I have worked so hard to manage will collapse, and he will absolutely replace his childish and ridiculous control scheme."

"Even without Count Drout's pressure, his management method will definitely make the steel radish mine impossible to operate, and we need wealth, more wealth."

"I know that any gathering of capital is a flow of blood and tears, but I have no choice, and neither does the steel radish mine."

Speaking of this, Masters said in a somewhat angry tone:

"But those workers don't understand you, if you don't have you..."

Fick glanced at him obliquely and said,

"Is it? I think that if I left you in a dark mine to work for more than eighteen hours a day, and injected you with emergency active agents, you would not be without complaint.

Master's tone froze and said,

"Master Fick, you... Even if you really want me to do this, or let me die, I won't blink!"

"Those workers were indeed ordered to perform high-intensity work every day by your order, and many of them also contracted ore diseases, but they didn't know that this was all for the future of the Steel Radish Mine!"

Fick laughed and asked rhetorically:

"Huh... Future? Our future is in exchange for theirs. "

They... Do they have a future?

The corners of Master's mouth moved, but he couldn't say anything.

"You don't have to compliment me so much, Master."

"What I'm doing now is the most classic capitalist behavior recorded in all kinds of novels, squeezing workers and plundering wealth, and I know what I'm doing."

"I also have a clear vision of what I do."

"I'm a selfish person, that's all, you're just lucky on my side, and you're the one who benefits the same."

Fick said to Masters in an even unabashed tone.

Master finally took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "

Whatever you want to do, Master Fick,

I will support you."

"Until the last minute."
