Speaking of this, after a pause, Waltz showed a solemn expression: "Of course, in addition to good news, there are also bad problems.

The first is the supply of alchemy items, which cannot be guaranteed to be stable at the moment. Alchemy props can only be provided by the wizard, and the number was okay before, but with the increase in the number of workers and the speed of mining, there has been a big gap in the number of alchemy props.

Yesterday you provided a batch of new alchemy items, which temporarily relieved the pressure, but there will be problems in a few days, and you must find a way to solve them. Otherwise, the efficiency of demolition, the first link of mining, will be greatly reduced, which will affect the progress of the entire mine.

In addition, several nearby mines have caused a large number of workers to flow to our side because of the blows, which has caused their prospects to become very poor. Even if the news of the demon's disappearance has fully spread, it can't change that, as I understand it, their ore mining is less than half of what it was two months ago. This must have led to several nearby mines being hostile to us, and there is no action yet, and then it will be difficult to say, and we will have to guard against ......."

Waltz kept talking.

Richard nodded as he listened, and after a long time, he answered the questions raised by Waltz one by one: "In terms of alchemy props, I thought about it, this is a question, but don't worry too much." Because I'm already working on it, when the planned new plant is built and put into use, this problem should be partially alleviated. For now, I'll try to continue to provide alchemy items, and you can just try to maintain the situation.

As for the hatred and possible troublemaking of the nearby mines, you have no worries at all. Aren't they having bad prospects, just buy them. You go and negotiate with their mine owners, the price does not need to be lowered, just trade according to the original price, or even a few percent higher, especially the No. 9 mine, the No. 11 mine and the Diragan mine, even if it is doubled, they have to take it, I think they have no reason to refuse.

Once this is done, you will be in charge of all the mines, and the new mines will be completely replicated in the model of Mine 13 and mined together. If you can't take care of it, find a few capable people to assist, of course, the premise is that the person you are looking for must be approved by me before you can take up the post......"

After listening to Richard's answer, Waltz showed a different color, frowned and felt a little puzzled: "Lord Wizard, I can understand the acquisition of nearby mines. After all, at our current efficiency, the more mines there are, the more profit you make. This will also prevent the ore from being depleted too quickly.

But...... If we delay for a while, we can force them to sell the mine to us at a very low price, so why rush to buy it at a high price?

In particular, the Nine Mine, which was one of the earliest mines near the small town of Shambhala. As far as I know, more than half of the seven mines he has excavated have been depleted and are of very low value. After we buy it, it's hard to be of great use, at most it's a burden, so why do we have to take it?"

"It's simple. "There are two reasons for this. ”

"Huh?"

"The first reason is that the acquisition of the nearby mine is one of my plans, and for me, it is good that the plan is successful, and if it can be delayed, it will not be delayed, and there will be no variables. ”

"And what about the second reason?" asked Waltz subconsciously.

Richard replied softly, "The second reason is that I am not short of money. ”

"Uh......"

After a full three seconds of sluggishness, the waltz returned to normal, glanced at Richard in front of him, and realized what kind of person this was. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright then, Wizard, I'll do my best to get things done according to your wishes." ”

"That's good. Richard nodded, and casually asked the rest of the things, "In addition to the question you said, is there any trouble in other aspects, such as law and order?"

"In terms of law and order?" Waltz listened and shook his head, "In terms of law and order, it's not a big problem. I did think that there would be some problems with law and order, but it gave me a surprise - there has been no chaos so far.

The main reason for this is that the wages paid to the workers are too high, higher than the limits of all mines. Therefore, the workers cherished this opportunity, lest they be fired for fighting and making trouble, and they would not be obedient.

Now there are no outsiders to sabotage, otherwise I believe that with a little guidance, the miners can unite and unite with the outside world, and beat the saboteurs all over the ground to find teeth. Thieves or something, not to mention. ”

"That's for the best," Richard praised...... but only said it once, then suddenly stopped, and looked in a direction in the night.

"What's wrong?" asked Waltz in a low voice.

Richard didn't answer, but walked quietly into the night.

Waltz followed with confusion.

The two walked dozens of meters and walked near the factory site under construction, and saw a thin old man's figure, leaning over and sneaking towards the construction site. I don't know what to do, but it's definitely a bad intention.

"In terms of public security, we still have to pay attention to it. Richard said this.

Waltz's expression froze, a little embarrassed, and he opened his mouth but was powerless to refute. After all, what was in front of him completely slapped him in the face - he had just promised that there was no problem, and the problem suddenly came.

"Smack!"

With a soft sound, Richard stepped on his feet, and the whole person jumped up, approached the old figure, and decided to solve this little trouble easily.

He was very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was behind the old man, and his right hand reached out and grabbed the old man's neck.

Who knows, the old man suddenly turned around at this time, looked straight ahead, his eyes revealed a bit of mockery and contempt, and then showed a weird smile.

This!

Richard looked at the old man's expression, and couldn't help but be startled, and was in a cautious and rapid retreat, ready to cast a shield to block the attack, and ready to start bombarding with a spell missile.

However, after exiting a full few meters, Richard stopped, slowly landed on the ground, and looked at the old man with a somewhat complicated expression.

I saw the old man standing in place, his smile becoming more and more distorted, and the next moment his whole body twitched, and he fell straight to the back, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"What kind of means is this? It's too abrupt, isn't it? Some kind of special gesture for releasing spells? But why doesn't there be any mana fluctuations, and even the other party's life breath disappears without a trace? Is it ......?"

Richard thought of a possibility, stepped down, re-approached the old man's side, probed his nose, felt his pulse, and found that the old man was dead.

Dead......
