Richard looked at the mine owner Orrick, saw that the muscles on the other party's face were slightly tense, and said loudly: "Don't be nervous, the thing I asked for is actually very simple, that is, to help me find a few ores." ”

"Looking for a few pieces of ore?" Orrick was stunned, his eyes widening.

This requirement is not difficult, on the contrary, it is simply too simple.

Orrick couldn't help but want to say, if you just find a few pieces of ore, as for making such a big scene, call all the princes?!

But it also put Orrick at ease.

This mine lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of ore.

Large chunks of fine iron ore are piled up in a mountain, as much as you want, as long as you can take it. Even if it wasn't Richard alone, or all the guards of Groga, even the horses and people carrying iron ore together, Orrick doubted that he could transport away the amount of ore he mined in this mine for a day.

Thinking of this, Orrick looked at Richard and said loudly: "This ...... Uh, Lord Richard, are you sure you're just looking for a few pieces of ore?"

"Yes. Richard nodded in response.

"That's easy, please here. As Orrick spoke, he led Richard to the side of the iron ore pile, "This is all new ore that has just been mined, as long as you can see it, take it as you like." ”

"But I don't want this ore, well, I don't want iron ore. Richard said lightly.

"Ahh His mine is an iron mine, so he didn't come here to ask for iron ore, what other ore could he want? Gold ore and silver ore? In other words, did he still make it simple for the other party to come? Could the other party deliberately find fault and annex his mine?

Well, it's possible, it's very likely.

Orrick thought in his heart, but his face was impassive, and he leaned closer to Richard: "That honorable Excellency, I only have iron ore here, if you don't want iron ore, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place, or ...... You're going to look somewhere else?"

"No need. Richard shook his head and said softly, "I know you're here in an iron ore mine, but in addition to mining iron ore, there are definitely other ores that come with it." Of course, in most cases, it will be treated as waste ore.

What I want is a kind of waste ore. Its name is cobalt ore, and its appearance should be blue-gray, which does not look much different from ordinary stones, but it is very hard, and the fractures are silvery-white with a metallic luster. You find it for me, the more the better. ”

"Eh, that's it......" Orrick's heart was relieved again, it turned out that he was still worried in vain, such a big formation, the things he wanted were not as good as iron ore, but waste ore that was not even worth a copper.

There is more waste ore than iron ore, and if no one wants it, he still needs to spend another effort to deal with it, since this is the case......

Orrick turned his head to look at the few overseers standing not far away, and shouted: "Have you all heard the instructions of Your Excellency Richard, go to the waste ore pile immediately, and go find me qualified waste ore, no, it's cobalt ore!

As soon as they heard this, several overseers rushed to the side of the pile of waste ore as if they had been shot in the buttocks, and they rushed to the side of the pile of waste ore as if they had been shot in the ass, and they desperately searched for it, lest they fall behind others.

But ten, twenty, thirty minutes......

Soon half an hour had passed, the atmosphere had frozen somewhat, the voices in the mine were somewhat quiet, and the panting voices of several overseers could be heard clearly.

"Huhu", the overseers who are about to turn the waste ore pile upside down, panting and looking at each other, they find that their previous worries about deducting wages are superfluous, because ...... They simply find ores that don't match.

Several people stared, and Orrick suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

Can't find it? Can't find it?

Now it's a problem.

Finding a specific kind of waste ore is a simple requirement.

And if a request is simple, or even unbelievably simple, but it can't be accomplished, then the result will not be much better.

Thinking of this, Oric yelled at a few overseers: "You waste, hurry up and continue to look for me! If you can't find it, give me all the money today! Don't even think about getting any copper!"

"This!"

The overseers stiffened, so they had to get busy again, and they were really ready to turn the waste ore pile upside down.

Rose struggled to throw aside a piece of black waste ore, ready to continue his search downward, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps beside him.

When I turned my head to look, I saw that the miner Maren Sr. had come over.

"Old Marlen, what are you trying to do, what a mess, get out of the way!" Rose scolded impatiently.

Who knew that Old Maren sneered at him, with a little disdain on his face, and walked gently past him and walked to the side of Orrick.

Orrick frowned, staring at Old Maren, ready to see what the other party was doing. Unexpectedly, old Marlen walked gently past him again, and walked to Richard before stopping.

"That...... Your Excellency Richard. Old Maren bowed down and said with great respect, "I know where the ore you are looking for is." ”

"You know!" Richard hadn't said anything, and Overseer Rose had already shouted, "You know, why didn't you say it sooner, so I was busy here for a long time? You want to die......"

Rose was only halfway through his words, and there was no further explanation, as he noticed that the mine owner, Orrick, was staring at him.

Orrick did this because Gro was casting an unkind look at him.

And Gro did this because Richard was frowning slightly.

"Goo-dong", Rose swallowed his saliva, his body softened, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Orrick exhaled slowly.

Gro returned to his normal expression.

Richard stretched his eyebrows, looked at old Mullen, and said loudly, "Say, where is it?"

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency Richard, I'll take you there. Old Mullen was very sensible and not verbose, and quickly led the way, explaining loudly while leading the way, "Your Excellency Richard, the ore you are looking for is indeed produced in this mine, but it is relatively small. We generally call him the Devil's Stone, because after a long contact with it, the body will be uncomfortable, and every time we mine it, we will throw it far away, so there is no here. ”

Richard nodded, and after listening to old Marlen's words, he was already seven points confirmed that he was right. Some cobalt ores are indeed toxic because they are sometimes mixed with arsenic, which is arsenic, the main component of arsenic.

In fact, in the history of modern earth, the name of cobalt ore by a certain mineralogist translates to the meaning of demon, which is very similar to the devil.

Thinking like this, old Mullen had already led Richard to a remote corner of the mine, and pointed to the few pieces of ore thrown on the ground, "Look, Your Excellency Richard, those are the pieces." ”

"Uh. Richard nodded in response, and was about to take a closer look.

Old Mullen was extremely active in the front, and said quickly: "Your Excellency Richard, I'm coming, I'm coming." ”

As he spoke, old Mullen picked up the ore, wiped the dirt on the surface with his clothes, and held it in front of Richard.

At this time, behind Richard, Rose, Orrick, Gro and other people were standing, all staring at Richard's reaction, all a little nervous.

The next moment, Richard was heard to say, "Yes, this is it." ”

"Whew", the sound of Qi Qi relieved sounded.

Rose thinks he might be able to keep his position, and Orrick thinks his mine won't be ruined. Gro, on the other hand, felt that the "dihydrogen monoxide" magic potion he had finally gotten should not be returned to Richard.

Everything seemed to be happy, and old Mullen was beside him, and there was a strange light in his eyes.
