Path of light

Chapter 383 384. The elves in the third mine

A large part of the mixed-blood elf miners stayed, and the rest returned to the gathering place in groups.

The half-blood elves who returned to the gathering place were all captured by headhunters from the plateau, while almost all the half-blood elves slaves trafficked through Padstow City chose to stay in the mines and continue mining.

This time they were assigned dormitories in the fortress, but every time they entered the mine, they needed to carry personal belongings such as mining picks, sacks, lanterns, and blankets. Every time they entered the mine, they had to dig underground for three consecutive days. Carrying blankets was convenient. Sleeping underneath the mine, the daily food needs are distributed uniformly by the mine.

Each time you receive food, you will record it on the sign-in card. After receiving six times of food, you will leave the mine for the first time and rest on the ground for a day.

However, given that the current physical condition of these mixed-blood elves is so poor, Roy is not in a hurry to let them all enter the mine. Instead, only those mixed-blood elves who meet the physical fitness standards are eligible to mine. Those who do not meet the physical fitness standards can only stay in the mine fortress. Perform recovery exercises.

Moreover, the daily transport capacity of the hanging container platform is very limited.

It takes at least half an hour for the hanging box to go back and forth in the shaft.

This is also the reason why half-blood elf miners have to work underground for three days every time they enter the mine.

What Roy didn't expect was that the mixed-blood elf miners in the third mine heard that they could get paid for mining in the mines, and they could also receive various items. A group of mixed-blood elves did not want to wait for their bodies to fully recover, so they tried their best to enter the mine. Mining here.

After Roy finished dealing with a bunch of trivial matters, he placed the documents on the bookshelf, opened the door and said to Vitas sitting outside:

"Okay, that's it for today's work, let's go have dinner!"

The few things Vitas did for Roy were very careful.

Roy happened to be short of an assistant, so he called him over to help.

Vitas put down the statistics in his hand and followed Roy out of the office. The restaurant of the third mine was on the second floor of the fortress. The two walked down the stairs and chatted about how to manage the gray dwarf bandits.

Although the gray dwarves had been put in shackles, Roy felt that this was not safe enough. After all, they were once a group of bandits, and they also had mining picks in their hands. The shackles had no binding force on them. They only needed to cut a piece in the middle. Place it on a stone, and you can break the chain with two pickaxes.

Now that they are so honest, they are completely frightened by the assassin team.

But it is impossible for Roy to keep the assassin team in the third mine. According to Captain Berkeley, Roy currently has five mines to take over, two mithril mines and three black iron mines. In other words, Roy will control three mineral veins on the Pajisto Plateau.

Due to the current unstable situation in the Queen Egwene Islands, the Silver Pegasus Legion has to transfer some of its forces back to the Elven Continent.

This is also the main reason why the various mine guard groups are eager to evacuate from the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy also considered training the Dark Moon elves in the third mine to become a group of qualified assassins.

But once the Dark Moon elves are cultivated, the mixed-blood elven guard team must continue to expand.

Roy and Vitas were mixed in the queue waiting for the meal. In addition to various fruits, there was also grilled fish tonight.

The chef at the restaurant in the Third Mine was temporarily recruited from the mixed elf warrior team. It is said that he traveled around the mainland when he was young and worked as a waiter in a restaurant in Buenos City for two years. At least he cooked well. The lemon tea tastes very good.

The mixed-blood elf chef knew that Roy and dwarves had similar tastes and liked to eat some wheat cakes for dinner, so when Roy came over to receive the meal, he specially took out a piece of baked wheat cakes with some sliced ​​wheat cakes on top. Apples and cranberries, with some maple syrup drizzled on them, not to mention the taste, at least they look pretty good.

Seeing the diligent look on the mixed-blood elf chef's face, Roy said to him, "Thank you!"

Carrying wheat pancakes and half a portion of grilled fish, Roy walked into a corner of the restaurant. The pancakes were not amazing, but they were definitely not unpalatable.

Finally, Roy didn't have to eat unsatisfying fruit for dinner, which made Roy a little happy.

Under Vitas' surprised gaze, Roy ate a whole scone.

The restaurant was gradually filled with mixed-blood elves. Everyone was sitting at a long row of tables, not only eating, but also sitting and chatting for a while.

Roy held the tea cup and took a sip of lemon tea, and heard several mixed-race elves at the next table chatting quietly.

"Have you heard? We can write letters to our relatives in the Elf Continent."

"Didn't it say that the entire Partington plane is currently closed?"

"But the letter can be sent. The owner of the mine is a half-elf with a military background. He is actually very energetic."

"I heard that he can also contact the Dark Moon Elf Kingdom and has friends in Innohouse in the Evernight Forest."

"The owner of the mine wrote a letter to Innohouse for the Dark Moon Elf prisoners. It is said that he is checking the sentence. If the Dark Moon Elf prisoners complete their sentence, they will be released immediately."

"real?"

"I heard from those soldiers that in the second mine, some Dark Moon elves have become free."

"If you can make some money, it's good to mail it home."

"Speaking of making money, I heard that the salary for those who work in the mines is quite high, and they are paid on a weekly basis."

"This time, a brother was in good health. He went down to the mine for three days and only dug out four gemstones. When he paid his salary, there was such a thick stack of Kohler. When he held it in his hand, the guy's face turned red. It’s clear.”

"What if I go down to the mine for three days and come back empty-handed?"

"It is said that there is only a basic salary and no bonus."

"How much can you give me as a basic salary?"

"For mining, the basic salary is one hundred kolers per week, there is a bonus of ten kolers for digging an ordinary quality gemstone, and there is a bonus of fifty kolers for high-quality gemstones."

"Are the salaries here so high? I've done some calculations. As long as we find the right veins, it won't be too difficult to dig two gemstones in a day."

"certainly,"

"I really hope my body can recover as soon as possible and I can go down the well as soon as possible..."

"..."

Roy walked out of the restaurant and heard other mixed elf miners discussing wages.

…

After walking up to the city wall and checking around the sentries, Roy returned to the room.

There are no flowers of light around to absorb the particles of holy light, and the power of holy light grows very slowly.

In addition to praying to the goddess to obtain the Holy Glory, Jasper and Abt could also stimulate the growth of the Holy Light in their bodies by purifying the souls of the dead.

Although the power of the Holy Light did not increase much, Roy was always fighting in the mines during this time.

In the dark environment underground, there are almost no particles of holy light to replenish. Every time Roy almost consumes all the holy light in his body. When he returns to the surface, he will find that his body is like a piece of water that has been squeezed dry. Like a sponge, it will constantly absorb the power of holy light from the outside world and replenish it into the body.

Originally, the Tree of Holy Light in his body only had nine tentacle-like roots that grabbed Holy Light particles everywhere. But after he became a priest, the Holy Light Tree integrated with him, and the way to absorb Holy Light particles also changed. Some changes.

Those holy light particles floating around Roy's body will automatically be sucked into Roy's body...

After he experienced so many battles underground, Roy discovered a subtle change in his body, that is, the particles of holy light around his body would be pulled by some invisible force, and when they floated in the air, they would become More active.

Every night, whenever he had time, Roy would sit quietly for a while after taking a bath and feel the power of the holy light in his body.

Then he will practice the magic skills left by High Priest Reed. He has learned two kinds of blessings and the Hammer of Judgment. What he is currently studying is the 'Hammer of Judgment'. At that time, High Priest Reed used the 'Hammer of Judgment' When the 'Hammer of Punishment' and 'Hammer of Sanction' were taught to him, Roy once asked High Priest Reed what was the difference between these three hammers of Holy Light. At that time, High Priest Reed said to him with a smile. , only after learning it can you understand their differences.

Now Roy has only learned the 'Hammer of Judgment'. The most direct feeling given to Roy in several battles is that not even the gray dwarf leader can stop the Hammer of Judgment...

…

In the dark mine, a gray dwarf bandit pushed away the stones blocking the mine. He carefully stretched his head out, and saw a half-blood elf warrior taking a nap against the rock wall a few meters away. He looked around cautiously. After looking around, I saw no other elf warriors, so I felt a little relieved.

He wanted to move the pushed rock to the top of his head, and then go back along the cave to tell the leader the news outside the cave.

They had already eaten several mushrooms in the cave, thinking that the elves outside would have relaxed, so they were ready to rush out in one go. If they were lucky, they might be able to recapture the mine.

This secret passage was dug a long time ago.

Including the loose rock wall on the support frame, it has been designed in advance.

So this cave full of mushrooms is a temporary shelter that the gray dwarf bandits have prepared long ago...

The gray dwarf bandit was pressing the stone on his head back into place when he felt a slight coldness and stinging pain on the back of his neck. He suddenly wanted to retract his head into the cave, but the sharp tool on the back of his head also penetrated into his skin little by little. So he didn't dare to move.

"Don't play tricks, raise your hands first..."

The gray dwarf bandit heard an elf speaking behind him, but he had just looked around and didn't realize that there was an elf warrior hiding behind him.

Although somewhat reluctant, the gray dwarf bandit slowly raised his hands.

He was crying and didn't even dare to look back.

It wasn't until someone tied his hands with a rope that he was dragged out of the cave like a dead dog.

A dark moon elf warrior wearing armor greeted the mixed elf warrior who was taking a nap against the rock wall:

"Hey, come on and help..."
