25. Three months (two)
Probably because he was used to this reaction, or he was born with thick skin. Albelich continued his unmoving sneer, his thick fingers pointing to the side of the cabin.
"The guys who tried to run away, the guys who rebelled are there, and we don't object to the guys who have the courage to join that ranks. ”
The voice of the flaunting power echoes through the neatly arranged prisoners, like a piece of meat in a butcher's shop, the body wrapped around the neck and hung on a hook silently tells the end of the escape story, and the asphalt-coated embalmed corpse is manipulated by the wind that happens to pass by, as if to recreate the scene of the tortured when they are desperate.
"Talk less, work more. Listen to orders and don't ask questions. ――The above is the rule here, disbandment. ”
The addiction to power pushed Albelich into excitement at the moment when the prisoners' faces lost their blood. Even though the status is still not high, there are dozens of unpaid laborers under his control, managing a large mining area. The dwarf is now far beyond the pinnacle of his father's career, a small, black-hearted miner with 15 miners. Not only did he surpass his father in numbers and costs, but he also had sophisticated and efficient mining technology and equipment that could not be compared with the past, and Albelich could almost straighten his short and sturdy body and loudly announce that he had surpassed his father and carried forward the family.
-- It's just a little bit, it's not a dream or a joke.
Thankfully, he had never done such a stupid thing, otherwise Freya would have been happy to offer an invitation to tea, and after a while there would have been another coolie in the camp with no name, no file, only a number.
Impulse is the devil. 】
Reciting in his heart the warning aphorism that Shangfeng had said, the dwarf's reopened horizon was recaptured into an unusual picture.
Laborers in blue and white prison uniforms shake the sieve, carefully sorting out the various metallic minerals. Another group of guys with cotton gauze gloves and masks carefully sprayed an unknown solvent on the flipped and cracked rocky soil.
【In-situ crushing and leaching method】(Note)
Albelich only knew the name of this new mining method, and the myriad of terms such as "genetic modification", "Thiobacillus iron oxide", "microspirillus", "bacteria", and "microorganism" were all words that could not be remembered, let alone understood.
The only thing known is the workflow - beneficiation, drilling, blasting, crushing, leaching, smelting. That's enough.
Albelich had no ambition to become a good model student, and was interested in making money, while the middle-aged gnome had little interest in technical issues outside of business, and he was only interested in the huge profits behind the revolutionary mining technology that saved time and effort.
At the same time, this issue was being discussed elsewhere.
"Production from the mine area increased by 15%, reserves of precious metals such as gold and silver increased by 23% year-on-year, and production of iron, copper, nickel and titanium exceeded expectations. Sales of cotton cloth increased by 70%, and there is a risk that demand will outstrip supply. ”
Three months can change a lot of things. The tent was turned into a house, and beech wooden cabinets were added to store reports and documents, and wooden tables and chairs with carved patterns and porcelain tea sets were provided for guests who came and went continuously. The boy who recites the report, the teenager who listens to the progress, and the middle-aged man who sits upright and plays soy sauce no longer wears the linen clothes of the past, but is replaced by a cotton shirt that shows off his good financial situation.
Only one thing remained stubbornly refusing to make any concessions, firmly entrenched in the house.
Let the visitor experience the part that is incompatible, incomprehensible.
Keeping the owner's personality in mind, it can be said that the core style of the room furnishings has not changed.
Workaholic paranoia with a strong emphasis on work and practicality, even at the expense of living comfort.
The owner and designer of the house may want a studio, where living is purely incidental. ...,
All that is needed is work, and only work is left - such a compulsive proposition radiates intensely from the room.
[At the very least, consider making some embellishments to show status, as over-asserting a room will only make visitors feel snubbed.] 】
Stung uncomfortably by the stiffness of forced fixed thinking, recalling the living furnishings of the old days as a nobleman, Sade sighed and commented in his heart.
"Pay attention to the dirt disposal process after smelting, so that they don't be lazy, and the procedures that should be taken are still indispensable. ”
The voice of the owner of the house was like a clear spring, clear and smooth with a hint of coldness that suddenly awakened the distracted Sade, with a humble smile on his face, his spine maintained a subtle arc, and his body posture was subtle so that the gaze was at a height difference from the pupils that had not looked at him in front of him.
The other party's elegant and modest tone makes people feel relaxed, and there is no misuse of grammar.
The black hair that is deep enough to sigh in the night sky, the facial contour with a hint of childishness in the handsomeness, and the energetic facial features that are delicate and full of vitality, reflect the elusive and mysterious red pupils.
Composed of many uncanny elements, exuding an indescribably beautiful demonic appearance and an elegant atmosphere suitable for communication and dialogue, Sade shakes off the faux pas that he thinks he has not been exposed, and maintains a posture of humility and obedience.
A beautiful boy with a magical appearance that reminds many people who see his true face with a work of art is by no means a slack being who can allow himself to be slack. Magicians who have witnessed many instances are always chewing and reminding themselves of this.
"Cotton production is about to reach its ceiling, and the planting area needs to be expanded. Contact Wally: [Find the right land, buy it now at the right price.] The cottonseed will be sent over immediately. Just sue him. ”
After processing the business work, the fingers are tapping on the desktop to create a monotonous rhythm.
The bright red lips wrinkled slightly, and the magician's reason was in a trance.
"Mr. Sade, you've been here for three months, what do you think of Niflheim?"
Showing generous warm words, Li Lin seemed to be in a good mood.
"Your career is a model of success. ”
Be careful to offer compliments, not like a despicable person who only knows how to flatter, nor like a person who is too upright. The sleek words reveal just the right amount of philistine, which is completely the standard posture that a small citizen should have.
"Yes, a qiēshun lì. ”
The percussions were precise and steady, and the peaceful smile deepened, more like sarcasm.
"Our cause must be smooth, and we must be smooth. ”
The topic and atmosphere began to deviate subtly, and the magician's hands were uncomfortably crossed together, and the sharply turned topic was inserted like a knife that had been thrown out of the blue.
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to chat as leisurely as we do now. ”
Knocking, stopped.
Cold sweat oozed from Sade's back, and his underwear became sticky and heavy.
Warn?
Trial?
Or is it both?
"Whether voluntarily or not, Mr. Saad has helped and participated in our cause in the best of his ability. You are an excellent collaborator, and in view of your contribution to metal smelting and other aspects, we have given you special treatment among the human race, and you have won a reward for your actions, and I hope that the people of the Niflheim Valley will learn from your exemplary spirit. ”
The indifferent red pupils reflect the banter, and the words of praise are mixed with the afterglow of ridicule.
The forehead, the armpits, the legs - all those who have sweat glands are constantly oozing out the body fluids that take away the heat.
Accomplice, Defection, Fallen, Traitor, Betrayal......
All kinds of embarrassing labels continued to shoot with Li Lin's relief, from head to toe to knees...... His expression barely maintained a minimum of humility, and his trembling hands rubbed nervously together. ...,
Humiliation, anger, anxiety, fear.
The alternation of all kinds of intense emotions is being tasted by Sade.
"Our cause will go smoothly, and it will always be so, Mr. Saad. ”
- Must be obedient, otherwise as an accomplice there is no backstage to protect him. The human mage will be the one who cushions the coffin, and neither side will let him go.
The option of quitting has long been eliminated from his future, and there is no turning back once betrayed.
“...... What you say is absolutely true. ”
His shoulders slumped, and the tall magician in the crowd looked stiff and short.
"Thank you for the compliment, Nidhogg, and get some refreshments. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
The only luxury porcelain tea set in the room was quickly arranged, and the action of making tea was skillful and elegant. With a serious expression, he is almost a wealthy family housekeeper who has been promoted beyond the age limit. The secretary and butler junior Nidhogg no longer has the slightest bit of the dragon's lazy nature.
- A man who can be used and changed even by the dragons.
Before this kind of storage was changed, I would only think it was braggart and jokes. After seeing the real scene for the first time, I couldn't say a complete sentence like a stroke, but now it is a part of daily life, a commonplace ordinary background.
Compared with the huge changes in the living environment of the valley in the past three months, it is at most a small pebble that is not worth looking at at the foot of the mountain, and can be seen everywhere.
Throw away abstract, difficult numbers, charts. What the eyes see, what the ears hear, what the nose smells, what the tongue tastes, and what the body touches -- the various information and all kinds of mounting recorded by the five senses are more intuitive and profound than any other language and writing.
Abundance.
Condense a feeling, metaphor, description, compressed and refined to obtain the word, which can best summarize the situation.
Not as rich as rich, beyond poverty, to ensure food and clothing every day.
The biggest change in the elven village is the progress from abject poverty to relative abundance.
The vegetables planted on a trial basis are in good condition, and the number of poultry and livestock is growing steadily. The food on the table is no longer so monotonous that it makes diners want to hit the wall, there is a ration of meat every day, spices and the like are still available in limited quantities due to the price factor, and although the food palatable index continues to remain at a low level, compared with the days when all meals were surrounded by pickled cucumbers, the gap is like a plain and an abyss.
The thriving development of the cotton spinning industry allowed the elves to wear cotton clothes that could only be consumed by the burghers, and with a ruddy and healthy complexion, Sade found it even more unbelievable.
[Elves are a race with many outstanding appearances. 】
Common sense that has been deliberately ignored and selectively forgotten by humans (the church will never recognize the beauty of the evil race, which is tantamount to slapping itself in the face.) Finally recognized correctly by the magician. The former aristocracy couldn't help but spat on the shameless stuff of the church—on a spiritual level.

Commentary on the time of the small theater
Nidhogg: Lord Li Lin, what is the [In-situ Crushing and Leaching Method]?
Li Lin: Use acid, alkali or salt as a solvent to soak metal minerals, so that the useful metals in them are transferred into the solution and then extracted. Because some bacteria can speed up the leaching process, it is also called chemical mining or bacteriological mining. China is the first country in the world to apply the leaching method, as early as a thousand years ago, the leaching method was used to mine copper. I use genetically modified bacterial solutions to leach all kinds of metal ores.
