"Jingle bell", the sound of percussion sounded in the mining area, the miners worked hard, and several overseers stared viciously at the side, and when they saw who did not work hard, they immediately swept it unceremoniously with a whip.

Old Maren knocked off a piece of iron ore with sweat, and moved it to the side with great difficulty, walking slowly, and was immediately whipped.

"Smack!"

Old Mullen turned his head to look to the side, and saw an overseer named Rose yelling and yelling, "Old Mullen, can you hurry up! If everyone is like you, this mine will close sooner or later!"

Old Maren glanced at the other party and ignored him, he had been working here for several years, and belonged to the oldest batch of miners. Therefore, he is not afraid of overseers, and he will do as much work as he wants.

With a "bang", the ore was thrown off the ore pile, and old Mullen didn't even look at Rose, turned around and walked back to the mine wall, and continued to mine in a muffled voice.

After Rose was despised, he was a little angry, but he didn't dare to vent it. He also understood that he was just a small overseer, supervising miners, not slaves, and had no great power. It really angered the miners and made the miners go on strike, and the mine owner would be the first to fire him.

Orrick, the owner of the mine, is not a fool, he is a very shrewd businessman, he knows who is the tool to make money for him, and the whole mine can be transferred without anyone, except the miners.

Rose glared coldly at Old Marlen, waved his whip demonstratively, and then turned his head to look away.

Suddenly, Ross raised his eyebrows, and saw the dust on the road outside the mine, followed by the sound of horses' hooves of the "Da Da Da" brigade, and many cavalry galloped forward.

This is?

Ross was stunned, and the next moment the cavalry came closer, and when he saw the opponent's fully armed appearance, his legs were weak and he almost fell.

It's not ...... You're not here to rob the mines, are you?

Soon, Rose saw a young nobleman in a gorgeous costume among the crowd, and realized that the many soldiers were just protecting each other.

But what is the other party doing in this place in the mine?

Ross didn't understand, but wisely ran to a two-story wooden building in the far mine, calling Orrick, the owner of the mine.

In Rose's opinion, since the nobles are here, then let the Orrick mine owner deal with it, after all, the mine owner is also a nobleman, as for what the title is, he has forgotten.

Rose thought, quickly rushing into the second wooden building, and then ran into the bedroom.

The fireplace in the bedroom was blazing, the whole room was scorching with heat, and two gray bodies were tumbling on the large wooden bed.

A woman is snorting, and a man is snorting like a wild boar.

"Huh...... Hum ......"

Ross froze.

The man on the bed also realized something, stopped his movements, turned his head to look at Rose at the door, and shouted, "Get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Rose ran out of the house, but the next moment he thought of something, turned his head and said again, "Ao...... Lord Orrick, someone is coming, it seems to be a nobleman of high status......"

"Get out!" Orrick, who was in the room at a critical moment, yelled, "No matter what kind of nobleman it is, get out of here!"

"Uh, yes, yes...... I'll let them get out of ......."

......

Winter, Mine.

Silence, slaughter.

In the huge mining area, the sound of "clanging" has stopped, and many miners have stopped their work and looked at the side in unison.

Not far away, in the clearing, a group of heavily armed cavalry stopped, guarding two young men, both of whom looked noble, one richly decorated, the other a little plain.

And at the front of the line, standing is the owner of the mine - Orrick.

The mine owner, who is invincible in front of the miners on weekdays, is trembling at this moment, with a horsewhip on his face, and a hot pain, but he still has to force a smile. Tilting his head, his neck was sore, but he tried to continue smiling, looking at one of the people in the middle of the cavalry: "It's Wang...... Your Royal Highness, welcome to my mine. ”

While speaking, Orrick hated the overseer Rose who had just spoken to death in his heart, that is, a pig's brain.

"Heh, welcome me?" Gro said with a cold face, "Your subordinates just passed on your words, let me go, yes!"

Orrick shuddered at this, and nearly collapsed to the ground. He is in his forties, and although he has not made a fortune, his body has gone downhill. After doing the strenuous exercise in the early morning, he was already very weak, and after listening to the second message from the overseer Rose, he ran over from the second-story wooden building in one breath, tired and panting, and now the whole person is soft.

However, Orrick still insisted that he didn't really fall to the ground, and after listening to Gro's words, he quickly explained: "Ge...... His Royal Highness Prince Gro, it's all my fault, it's all my failure to explain it to that damn subordinate. I just want him to get out, how dare you let His Royal Highness the prince go, it's too late for me to welcome it. ”

"Oh, do you know me?" asked Gro, his eyes flashing. Earlier, when he asked the overseer to deliver the message, he only identified the prince, but did not name him.

"Small...... Meet His Royal Highness Prince Gro. Orrick said with a shy face, trying to get closer, "At the knighthood ceremony, the little one met Prince Gro once. ”

"At the knighthood?" Gro asked, stunned, "So, you're still a nobleman?"

"The little one is indeed a nobleman. Orrick said with a smile, "The knighthood is the lowest...... Lord. ”

"Lord, where is your territory, and how big is it?"

"Small...... There is no territory...... "Oreklo said awkwardly, "only this mine. ”

"Huh. Gro understood, and said in a loud voice, "I guess your lord bought it too, right?"

"This ...... This ......," Orrick smiled awkwardly but politely, "indeed...... Be. ”

"No wonder. Gro said in a loud voice, and then with a bit of threat, "Then Orrick, you should know the laws of the Emerald Kingdom, right? The titles are all royal, and you can be given the corresponding title because of your donation to the royal family, but at the same time, you can take the title back at any time." ”

"This ......"

"Poof", this time Orrick really fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to apologize, "King Gro...... His Royal Highness the Prince, the little one is really ...... It's really wrong, it's really accidentally offended you, please don't take back the little title. In addition to this, no matter what punishment His Royal Highness the prince has, the little one will admit it. ”

"Heh, you know each other. Gro Dao, nodded with some satisfaction, feeling that he was still doing things very safely, and a little intimidation achieved his goal.

Turning his head to look at Richard next to him, Gro's eyes fell on Orrick again, and he said, "Since that's the case, then it's not difficult for me to be for you." Next to me is His Excellency Richard, who has come to your mine for some need. He'll come up with something later, and you're going to do your best to satisfy him, you know!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Orrick nodded quickly, struggled to get up, and looked at Richard next to Gro, with a wave of confusion in his heart.

In fact, he had seen Richard since just now, and after seeing Richard, he was strange. He still knows a lot about the upper nobles and royal family members of the Jade Kingdom. Maybe the nobles and members of the royal family don't know him, but he can familiarly say everyone's name and describe everyone's appearance, which is the basic cultivation of a small nobleman.

However, Richard next to the prince, he had never seen it, and he was not a member of the emerald kingdom or the royal family at all. The dignified Prince Gro, but he still respects him very much.

I really can't figure this out.

Richard didn't know Orrick's thoughts, jumped off his horse, used the spell "Wind Lightness" to unload his force, landed quietly, and walked quickly in front of Orrick.

Although Gro's previous style was a proper gentleman and a bully face, Richard had no resistance. Because, exactly what he needs. In this way, it can help him easily achieve some goals.

Otherwise, if he came alone, he would inevitably have to talk to the mine owner named Orrick in front of him, and he might even be troubled by the other party. At that time, some strong means may be able to bring the opponent to their knees, but it will be very troublesome. At the end of the day, he was just looking for raw materials to make cobalt glass.

In that case......
