Path of light

Chapter 361 362. The surrendered prisoner

The Dark Moon Elf prisoners gathered in a cave, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

In all these years, they have never lost so miserably under the mine...

After they were sold to the mines on the Pagisto Plateau, they were immediately thrown into the mines by the mine owners to mine. At first, everyone worked hard to dig the gem mines, just to get a bite to eat, but later the Dark Moon Elves Suddenly, he realized that his hard work in mining was not as good as robbing the gray dwarves in the mine.

Those gray dwarves are really good at digging holes!

They dig the mines in all directions, and their big noses can identify the smell of rocks, and through the subtle differences, they can identify what kind of gems and magic metals are contained in the veins.

So the Dark Moon elves united and began to rob the gray dwarves in the mines in an organized and planned way.

The Dark Moon elves can be invisible anytime and anywhere in the mines, so they look for the gray dwarves hiding in the mines and steal the most valuable ores from their pockets.

This group of gray dwarves were actually bandits. They discovered that the Dark Moon elves often stole gem mines, so they fought against these Dark Moon elves thieves several times.

With their 'stealth' talent, the Dark Moon elves had an advantage in the mines. Those gray dwarves were beaten into disgrace by the Dark Moon Elves every time.

Later, the gray dwarves were forced to open a new mine with only a long and narrow tunnel. Even if the Dark Moon Elves hid their bodies, they could not pass through that mine.

The gray dwarves lived on some cave mushrooms and moss in that mine, and were completely isolated from the Dark Moon elves.

After the Dark Moon elves drove away the gray dwarves in the mines, they had to dig their own mines in exchange for food. They were not as powerful as the gray dwarves, so the number of gem mines they mined was naturally less and less.

The output of gemstones in the mines was getting lower and lower, so the owners of the mines bought back some mixed-blood elf slaves.

The Dark Moon Elves have been exploiting the mixed-blood elves since then...

They are also used to being domineering below the mine. They have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and they don't even dare to go up to the mine to look at the sky above their heads.

Now that the Dark Moon Elf leader died in the unknown mine, they need to choose a new leader to lead everyone through the current difficulties.

Just thinking of those Silver Moon Elf warriors wearing silver light armor made these Dark Moon Elves feel a little guilty.

They only have some daggers polished with mining picks, but the opponent is wearing full body armor and a sharp elf sword. If they rush forward, they will definitely die...

There is no elf who is not afraid of death!

A group of Dark Moon elves were also trembling with fear, worried that the team of Silver Moon elves would come out of the cave at any time...

The Silver Moon Elf holding the iris shield was blocking the front, and they really had no choice.

"Tell me what we are going to do now?"

"Otherwise, just hide first..."

"How else can we hide? As long as they cut off the food supply, can we still survive by eating mushrooms like those gray dwarves?"

"Otherwise, go and negotiate with the gray dwarves at the bottom. I think dried mushrooms... are not inedible!"

"What's the use of talking to those gray dwarves? If we talk to those gray dwarves, we might as well talk to those Silver Moon elves!"

"Those Silver Moon elves came down from the mines. Should we try to contact them? Maybe we can survive as long as we mine obediently..."

"This is a good idea...but who will take the risk?"

"..."

"How about I give it a try?"

A young Dark Moon Elf walked out from a group of Dark Moon Elf. Although he was a little nervous, he still mustered up the courage to speak.

…

The young dark moon elves walked out of the cave where they were hiding and walked forward in the direction of the mine.

Until he saw a group of Silver Moon Elf warriors in the mine, each holding a torch a few meters away, seeming to light up the entire mine...

The young Dark Moon Elf bravely took a few steps forward and shouted:

"I want to talk to your manager..."

Behind him are intricate mine tunnels. As long as the Silver Moon Elf on the opposite side makes any movement, he will turn around and crawl into the cave, running away without looking back.

But there was no response from the other side, so the young Dark Moon Elf bravely waited for a moment.

During this period, some Silver Moon elves stepped forward, but none of the Silver Moon elves on the opposite side had any intention of getting close. The young Dark Moon elves felt a little more at ease.

After a while, a group of elves hurried over.

…

Roy came to the young Dark Moon Elf and saw that behind the Dark Moon Elf was a complicated cave like a spider web. Naturally, he understood the intention of the Dark Moon Elf prisoner.

There was also a ball of sacred light floating above his head. In fact, he was worried that this was a trap set by the Dark Moon Elf. The young Dark Moon Elf came out just to fish...

So in addition to lighting up the surroundings with sacred light to prevent Dark Moon elves from sneaking closer, Roy also arranged a team of Silver Moon Elf sword dancers and a team of Silver Moon Elf archers behind him.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Roy asked looking at the lonely Dark Moon Elf.

The young Dark Moon Elf didn't expect that the person in charge here was not an elf, and his face looked a bit like a human.

The Dark Moon Elf put aside the random thoughts in his mind and said in organized language:

"It is indeed our fault that we offended you before. I hope you can give us another chance. We will provide you with sufficient gem mines regularly according to your requirements..."

Roy didn't expect that after just one battle, this group of Dark Moon elves would become completely intimidated.

"You are still thinking about mining, this is a good realization..." Roy squinted his eyes and said slowly.

A lot of thoughts were running through his mind, so he made a change.

"However... through this incident, I found that the mine has been in a state of unmanaged chaos, so I ask all Dark Moon elves to - re-register!"

Roy's tone was serious in the last few words.

The young Dark Moon Elf was startled and thought to himself: He may not be as free as before, but he doesn't seem to have to die either...

Then I heard Roy say sharply:

"Of course I will also go to Innohouse City to do an investigation. If you have anything to hide, I will completely 'give up' on you, and I will use actions to prove that I am by no means a soft-hearted person. Half-elf, you understand what I mean!"

The young dark moon elf nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Roy smiled with satisfaction:

"Of course, I am not such an unreasonable half-elf. I also know your origins to some extent. The former mine owner bought you back from the underground prison of Enochous City. All the Dark Moon elves here are prisoners... …”

Why did he suddenly mention this? When the young Dark Moon Elf heard this, he couldn't help but think about it.

Roy continued: "I will send people to Enochous City Prison to investigate based on the information you provided!"

He raised a hand and said solemnly:

"I can make you a promise: I will count from the day you were imprisoned. If any of you are sentenced in the trial and the sentence has ended, I will also give you freedom!"

The young Dark Moon Elf stared at Roy with his eyes widened, and asked with some trepidation: "Can you send us back to the Evernight Forest?"

Roy was startled for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid this won't work for the time being. The entire Partington plane is currently closed, but I will let you leave this mine. The Partington plane is so big, no matter where you go, I will definitely Won’t interfere.”

The young Dark Moon Elf took a deep breath to calm down his brain.

"...Okay, I admit that this is very attractive to me." He said frankly.

Every elf has a long lifespan, and a sentence of one or two hundred years is just a short period of time in their lives.

Roy put his hand down, stretched out a finger again, and said to the young Dark Moon Elf: "But there is a premise... I want you to work for me honestly, and you can't violate the mine again. The system here, your lives are worthless to me!"

"Having said that, if you can squat down in the mine and mine, for me, it can still produce some economic benefits. I am also willing to let you live well. Remember, don't mess with me. trouble."

The young Dark Moon Elf was stunned after hearing what Roy said.

Although their lives have been a little harder these years, they definitely don't feel like they are oppressed.

But now, he feels like he is climbing a cliff with a heavy cross on his back. Although there is a glimmer of light ahead, if he is not careful, he will fall into an abyss...

When he turned around and walked back, he found that his back was cold and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

…

Of course, Roy would not care about the mood of the young Dark Moon Elf at the moment. What he needed to do was to re-establish order in the mine. This was the first step in managing the mine.

After all, after rescuing those mixed elves, there are actually no miners left in the second mine.

Now that we can manage these Dark Moon elves, we can also reduce some losses...

Of course, if the gray dwarves hiding deep in the mine are willing to come out to work, the mine will probably be able to operate normally.

Fortunately, the logistics team of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion is very strong, and the supply of materials at the mine is very sufficient. However, he still needs to think carefully about how to rebuild the gem mine.

In fact, the Dark Moon elves didn't keep Roy waiting for long.

Only half a day later, the young Dark Moon Elf brought a message: All Dark Moon Elf accepted Roy's management plan and promised that they would never violate the management regulations...

Later, these Dark Moon elves were also in the cave next to the shaft, and Roy had to send manpower to re-register this group of Dark Moon elves.

The mixed-blood elf mining slaves have been sent to the surface one after another and are temporarily living in the mines.
