[Chapter 97 There are gemstone veins here]
In the early morning of the next day, the miners were ready to set off with their mining tools on their shoulders.
The place that Robb pointed to them on the map was just a little bit on the hillside behind the church. The place was originally a little far from Westwind Town, but now it has become very close to the town.
Because, on that hillside that was originally deserted, there is now Robb’s field, and the stockings manufacturing factory that has not yet started to operate at full capacity, and then there is a small hut built by refugees in Baihua Town. A wooden town wall was erected.
As a result, the hillside where the gem mine was located was almost a few hundred meters outside the wall built by the residents of Baihua Town, which was too close.
A group of miners came to this place, looked left and right, looked back and forth, this was a fairly ordinary hillside, with green grass growing on the slope, and many trees, a group of townspeople from Baihua Town were cutting down trees here, and the ground was already there. Many tree stumps can be seen.
To say that there are gem mines buried in the ground here, the townspeople would not believe it if they were dead.
Jonny said to the townsman next to him, crying and laughing: “Do you think there is a gem mine here?” The
townsman next to him shook his head: “No!”
“But the priest said there is a mine here.” “If we don’t
dig a few times, we won’t be able to do business when we go back. We eat and use his, and if we don’t listen to him, we’ll feel ashamed.” The priest reported that there was no digging, so that’s fine.”
Jonny nodded and said, “It can only be like this now!”
He drew a large circle on the ground and said, “Everyone, concentrate your efforts, and start from this circle. Dig down, first remove the vegetation and soil above, and dig out the stones below to see if there is a gem mine, we can judge it only by seeing the stones.”
“Okay! Let’s dig!”
More than a dozen people Work together, hoe and shovel together.
The soil here is so thick that it is difficult to dig.
More than a dozen people dug until noon, and they didn’t see the stone yet. They couldn’t help being a little discouraged and thought: What the hell is the geology here? Maybe the bottom is all mud, and the layers of mud have been deep into the core of the earth, and there are not even ordinary stones, let alone ore.
While there was a lot of discussion, Lillian came, carrying two huge baskets full of boiled potatoes, and said to everyone with a smile: “Uncle Jonny, call everyone to lunch!”
Jonny Turning his head to look, Lilian, a weak girl, actually has a huge vegetable basket in one hand, carrying enough potatoes for a dozen miners, is he too meow? Can’t help but wonder: “Lilian, where did you get so much strength?”
Lilian smiled and said: “The master added a dab, oh, no, it’s a Buff, it is said that it is called the blessing of the king, so I You have a lot of strength.”
Jonny smacked his tongue, not quite understanding.
Lillian distributed the potatoes to everyone, then looked at the pits they dug, and couldn’t help asking, “Have you dug a gem mine yet?”
Jonny shook his head with a dark face, “Don’t talk about gems . Now, I can’t even dig stones, the soil here is too thick, I even suspect that there is only soil here, and if you keep digging, you will always be able to dig soil.”
“That’s impossible, the master said that there are gem mines here, then There must be.” Lillian was so confident in Robb, she glanced left and right, picked up an iron pick from a miner who was eating potatoes, and smiled, “I’ll help you dig it.”
Jonny : “You little girl, how can you do this kind of rough work, quickly put down the pickaxe.”
“It’s okay, I already said that I have a buff from my master.” Lilian swiped and jumped to the miners to dig out Next to the big pit, she raised the iron pickaxe with both hands, raised her head high, and then exerted force with her arms, concentrating all the power that the king’s blessing brought her into the iron pickaxe.
Then jump up!
This jump actually jumped several meters high, and that light movement startled the miners.
It turns out that the blessing of the king is not only to increase strength, but also to increase agility, intelligence, and magic resistance… Anyway, all attributes can be increased.
Lillian jumped high, then fell heavily, and swung her arms downward with maximum force. The iron pick slammed into the bottom of the pit with a huge force…
Only a loud “Boom” was heard. There was a sound, flying sand and stone, and the big pit was dug several meters deeper in an instant.
Jonny and the miners were startled, never dreaming that Lillian, a weak girl, could wield such a terrifying pick.
“Haha, I’ve dug to the rock layer!” Lilian stood at the bottom of the pit and laughed loudly: “Look, there’s a rock below, it’s a rock.”
“Oh? Did the rock come out?” The miners were refreshed.
Jonny was the first to jump out of the pit, and after holding up a layer of mud with both hands, he slapped the bottom of the mud pit with a smile on his face: “Hey? It’s gone, and the stones here…this…this is an amethyst vein, my God! It’s an amethyst vein.”
After hearing this, the other miners were all stunned, and then jumped into the pit together frantically. , desperately digging up the mud layer with his hands, not long after, a dozen miners shouted excitedly at the same time: “Sure enough, the amethyst mine, this is the amethyst mine, hahaha, it turns out that there is really a gem mine here, we I can settle down here, hahaha!”
“I’ll just say it!” Lilian proudly put her hands on her hips: “My master said that there are mines here, so there must be mines, my master is a person who is favored by the gods, He’s amazing, there’s nothing the master can’t do.” The
miners and masons no longer dared to doubt Robb in the slightest, and even felt ashamed that they had doubted Robb, and couldn’t hold their heads up. Come.
They climbed out of the pit, knelt around the pit, put one hand over their hearts and the other to the top of their heads, and swore loudly: “The stone is up! I swear to obey Father Robert’s guidance and teachings unconditionally for the rest of my life. , if this oath is violated, please drop the stone and kill us.”
Miners often need to go down the mine, and for them, the most dangerous thing is the collapse of the mine, so “the stone is up”, “please fall the stone down” Smash us to death” is their most solemn oath, and no one dares to laugh with this oath.
Lilian heard them swear so seriously, and she couldn’t help showing a smile on her face: “It’s fine to believe in my master, but the master wouldn’t want you to be crushed to death, he is the kindest and most merciful in the world. People, you will slowly know in the future.”
