Chris was slightly taken aback when he saw Su Qing suddenly stop moving. Then, as if he had thought of something, he waited quietly to the side.
After about the time it takes to eat a meal, Su Qing jolted awake, let out a long sigh, opened her eyes, and rubbed her chin.
He could clearly perceive the mineral vein beneath his feet, its size, direction, and location.
Su Qing looked at Chris: "We're probably going to have a tough time in the coming days!"
Relying solely on those miners to dig, who knows how long it would take? Su Qing doesn't have that much time.
So the black dragon decided to take action himself.
Chris didn't understand what Su Qing meant, but he had a bad feeling.
That evening, while the miners rested, Su Qing led Chris past the guards and into the mine.
In the dark mine, light flickered as a man and a dragon walked deeper into the mine.
About one-tenth of the mine has been mined. At the current rate of mining, it will take at least seven or eight years to fully mine the mine.
But if Su Qing were to take action, how long would it take? The answer is one month.
Su Qing touched the rock wall with his palm, and activated the [Moving Mountains and Filling Seas] skill. A wave of energy instantly spread out, enveloping the entire mine.
Ordinary rocks split open, and large amounts of ore exuding rich earth elemental energy fell out. Su Qing opened her mouth, while Chris fed her expressionlessly.
He never imagined that he would come out to do this kind of thing!
As dawn approached, Su Qing closed the rock wall, and the two of them, one human and one dragon, secretly ran back.
"Won't they find anything unusual?"
Chris rubbed his sore arm and asked with some concern, "If we get caught, it'll be a real problem."
"Won't!"
Su Qing said firmly, "The rock face I left them was very thick."
For an entire day, hundreds of miners failed to make a single gain.
This greatly angered the steward. The young city lord had only just arrived, and such a problem had already occurred. Wouldn't this leave a bad impression on the young city lord?
He gritted his teeth, ready to punish the miners, but Chris stopped him: "It's not their fault that they can't find any ore. They might have just hit a rock layer. Just dig out the rocks and everything will be fine!"
Chris's intervention saved the miners from punishment, earning him immediate support and gratitude.
But looking at those grateful eyes, he felt inexplicably conflicted.
The steward also felt that the young city lord was very kind and decided that he would make sure they worked well tomorrow.
However, for a whole month, the entire magic stone mine yielded no harvest.
All the miners and foremen were dumbfounded; the entire mine had ceased production since Chris arrived.
Every day, all that's mined is useless rubble; not even a trace of magic stone has been found.
This made the manager feel very uneasy. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the mine might have been completely mined out and become an abandoned mine.
In fact, he was right. Just two days ago, Su Qing had completely emptied the entire mine.
Thinking of this, the steward felt it was inappropriate to leave the young city lord in an abandoned mine, so he immediately sent someone to report it to his superiors.
He threw his own illegitimate son into the mine. On the surface, the Lord of Rock City still indulged in his daily affairs with his wife, but in his heart, he still had some feelings for her.
However, I dared not mention it to that beautiful lady openly.
When he received the message from the manager, he didn't believe it.
That was a medium-sized mine, which should have been mined for at least six or seven years. It was only mined for a year or two before it was gone.
What a joke! Could it be that the manager has some kind of grudge against his son and is using this method to resist?
A thought flashed through his mind, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
He put down the letter in his hand, embraced the beautiful lady in his arms, and said softly, "Madam, I'll be going out tomorrow and will be back soon!"
The beautiful lady frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss. What was this man doing out there for no reason?
Sensing the doubt in his wife's eyes, the Lord of Rock City couldn't say anything. After all, it was related to his son, and the two were clearly not close. Saying anything would only upset his wife.
Of course, he didn't know that when you hide things from a woman, it's also when that woman feels most insecure about you.
At this moment, the beautiful lady felt that the man had changed. He used to be very obedient to her, but now he was hiding something from her.
All of this seemed to have happened after that illegitimate child arrived, and at this moment, Mrs. Mei felt even more dissatisfied and disgusted with Chris.
Before dawn the next day, the Lord of Rock City arrived at the mine with his men. After a brief survey and examining the stones that had been mined during that period, they...
After intense research, the senior experts he brought with them reached a consensus: although the mine shouldn't contain only this much magic ore, it is indeed now devoid of ore and has become an abandoned mine.
After being questioned by the Lord of Rock City, he learned that the mine had been abandoned after his son arrived, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He originally intended to give this illegitimate son, to whom he owed a debt, a lucrative position, but now it seems like he's just casually dismissing him.
A hint of guilt and helplessness flashed in his eyes, which Chris neither noticed nor realized, but Su Qing keenly sensed it and immediately spoke with a stern face: "Lord City Lord, so this is an abandoned mine!"
He emphasized the words "abandoned mine" to express his dissatisfaction, but the next moment, his voice turned sorrowful:
"After the Lady and the City Lord separated, she became pregnant with the City Lord's child. The Lady's parents wanted her to abort the child, but she firmly disagreed and insisted on giving birth to the child. She also did not want to reveal the City Lord's identity, fearing that it would cause trouble for you."
After that, the lady never remarried and raised the young city lord alone. She endured countless hardships and died at the young age of thirty-seven with half her hair turned white.
Before her death, the lady kept calling out the city lord's name, instructing the young city lord to come and acknowledge his lineage, and hoping the city lord would take good care of him.
Su Qing spoke these words in a low, melancholic tone, leaving the Rock City Lord stunned and speechless with mixed feelings.
He realized he had wronged such a woman, and his eyes involuntarily reddened slightly.
Chris's face twitched. Knowing it was fake, he didn't really connect with the story and didn't feel much for it. He just thought the black dragon was terrifying.
Su Qing's plan was carried out very easily. Feeling indebted to the Lord of Rock City, she opened a map and let Chris choose a mine.
When Chris saw the map, he knew in his heart that Rock City was finished, or at least all the mines were gone.
If that dragon saw this mineral vein distribution map, would things turn out well?
