Chapter 17 Mine

The dwarf blacksmith accepted him as his apprentice so easily, which surprised Chen Jinyang. In this society, any technology is a precious secret and knowledge. Is it the one-eyed dwarf who has a good heart? Does Old Sailu have enough face or himself?

His character is strong enough? Chen Jinyang does not believe that such good things can happen in the world.

The next day, Chen Jinyang asked Alos to take care of several problem people. Xiao Mishaer was too young and innocent, the moon elf girl was too troublesome, and Finia was ignorant of the world. Only Alos, who had been a waiter in a tavern, could reassure him.

Chen Jinyang left all the gold coins as food expenses for the four people. The magic bag in his arms contained enough hard bread and drinking water bottles, and five of the cheapest pitch pine torches as lighting tools.

When Chen Jinyang rushed to the blacksmith shop of the one-eyed dwarf Sings, the heavily armed dwarf was already waiting impatiently. Sings, wearing a horn helmet, steel scale armor, carrying a semicircular steel shield and a short-handled war hammer

McCruf roared dissatisfied: "Boy! You are too late! We should set off before dawn! Now! Go pick something handy! I hope you have had combat training before! Now!"

The old dwarf, who was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night, pointed with his heavy warhammer at the large wooden box in the corner of the blacksmith shop.

Damn it! Look at the posture of this old boy! Are you going to mine or fight? Chen Jinyang walked over and opened the wooden box full of doubts. There were several good-looking weapons inside, including two one-handed swords.

A scimitar, a short-handled battle ax, and even a crossbow made of wood and iron and a bag of arrows. Chen Jinyang picked up the scimitar and danced it around a few times. It was okay! It was a pretty good scimitar.

Compared with Cui Heizi's ordinary scimitar made of fine steel, it was not far behind, and its center of gravity was even better. He turned back to the surprised dwarf and asked: "Master Sings! This knife belongs to you.

Made?"

The dwarf, who was surprised by Chen Jinyang's weird knife-wielding movements, quickly stroked the half of his beard and pretended to be nonchalant in reply: "Ah hum! These are just my works when I was bored! You are the best work of art by Singers."

I haven't seen it yet! Ignorant human boy! Now that we have chosen a guy, it's time for us to set off!" The proud one-eyed dwarf, wearing heavy armor, "clicked" and "clicked" towards the room on the next floor. An idea flashed in Chen Jinyang's mind.

, grabbed the crossbow and arrows and put them into the magic bag, then followed the dwarf and ran down the stairs.

"Where are we going?" Chen Jinyang asked in confusion as he followed the dwarf blacksmith through the three-story room.

Singers, who was leading the way, replied in a low voice: "The mine! The mine belongs to the dwarves!"

Chen Jinyang was even more confused: "The mine? Isn't the mine outside the city?"

"Who told you that the mine is outside the city!" The dwarf, who was excited about the upcoming mine operation, kept shouting, "The city of Mirabar is built on the mineral deposits. As long as you dig down from the soles of your feet, you will

You can find the best quality ore in the world! Thousands of the most brilliant dwarves once mined ore and forged metal here! The furnace is as hot as magma, and the sound of the hammer is louder than thunder! Damn liar

! Damn underground monsters! No longer able to work happily! This is simply the biggest punishment for dwarves!" In the curse of Sings, the two people walked through a long and narrow passage and came to a foot

There was an empty tunnel that was two or three people tall and about the same width. A two-wheeled tractor-trailer was parked at the entrance of the narrow passage.

The light in the tunnel was extremely dim, and even with Chen Jinyang's excellent eyesight, it was difficult to see clearly what was a few meters away. Singers put the shield into the tow truck and picked up a strange lantern from the tow truck to light it.

Hanging in front of the tow truck, he put the warhammer on his back and started pushing the low tow truck forward.

"Boy! Follow me! Don't get lost! Otherwise you will be trapped and die in this huge maze! Hundreds of years of continuous excavation have made it impossible for even the smartest dwarf in the world to fully remember all the tunnels here.

! Hungry! Lonely! Monsters! These things will kill you at any time!" Singers was very angry at Chen Jinyang's absent-mindedness, and he unhappily warned the rookie who was setting foot here for the first time. Chen Jinyang followed closely with a few strides.

The dwarf smiled apologetically, but unfortunately the dark environment in the tunnel prevented the dwarf from noticing.

"Master Sings..."

"Human boy! Just call me Sings! McCruf is not old enough yet and can only remember his past glory in the respect of others! The dwarf Sings can still swing a hammer to forge and fight!" Pushing the drag bucket

The dwarf is not satisfied with Chen Jinyang's title.

"Oh! Okay! Singers! Have you often come here to mine?" Chen Jinyang looked at the dark and long tunnel a little uneasy.

"Ah! Of course! Of course I have been down there many times! Well! Even if he only has one left eye left, Singers is still the best miner and warrior here! Yes! The best warrior! Human boy, you

You shouldn't doubt the ability of a one-eyed dwarf! Damn the liar! Old Singers didn't lie!" The one-eyed dwarf reacted fiercely to Chen Jinyang's question. He responded to the human's question with loud shouts, as if he was trying to hide something.

The wide tunnel is almost surrounded by hard stone walls. Only in a few loose corners are strong pillars built with strips of thick stone slabs. The almost smooth stone pavement underfoot has a slight slope all the way to the tunnel.

The depths of the earth extend.

Dark, silent, lonely, and depressing! Only the "squeaking" sound of the tractor wheels and the "clicking" footsteps echoed in the empty tunnel. Because of the previous question, the dwarf stopped chattering and started shaking.

Under the light of the bull's-eye lantern, both of them moved forward in silence. However, the uneasy Singhs looked back at Chen Jinyang from time to time, as if he was afraid that this tall human being would suddenly disappear.

After only walking a few hundred meters, Singers could no longer bear the dull atmosphere. He put down the tow truck angrily, raised his head and shouted at Chen Jinyang: "Okay, okay! Damn boy! Old man!"

Singers admitted that he hadn't been down there to mine for several years! Damn it! The Marquis actually listened to those liars' lies about reducing the number of dwarf miners! Instead, he would rather put more dwarves into the Ax of Mirabar! Damn you bastards

They! I'm only blind in one right eye, and this little bastard Tog actually excluded me again! Even the evil orcs can't knock him down! The fearless Singus McCruf

!To be like a crippled dwarf who can neither mine charming ores nor fight gloriously! Uh-huh! They are insulting the character of the great Singer McCruf! Trampling on his honor! Uh-huh—

—”

My sun, you! This old bastard! You dare not go down there alone to take risks, but you actually kidnapped an ignorant human boy to accompany him to the depths of the dark mine. This is simply abduction, teasing, and murder by Chi Guoguo! What's more? Is there natural justice? Is there human rights? Is there royal law...

The dwarf, who was complaining until he burst into tears at the end, looked at the expressionless Chen Jinyang in despair. He lowered his ugly head and whispered dejectedly: "Since you don't want to go! Then go back!" Chen Jinyang sighed in a low voice. He took a breath and shook his head helplessly. What a speechless old boy! He continued to move forward without saying a word.

The dwarf looked at his tall back in confusion, and then reacted. Singers wiped the snot from his face, pushed up the tow truck and quickly swung his two thick short legs, and the wheels rolled rapidly. : "Wait for me! Wait for me! Haha! I knew it! You are a good young man! Haha! Your name is William, right? I knew you were a great William! Hahaha! Do you know? Do you know? ?I'm a master at mining! Old Sings knows where the best deposits are just by smelling them with his nose! Speaking of eyes, I once killed five evil orcs! Each one of them was as tall as you !The strongest one of them blinded my right eye! It was a magic axe! Damn it! It even chopped off half of my beard! But Singers McCruf, as brave as the ore, still used it The hammer smashed his toes, broke his thigh, and finally smashed that damn orc into a pulp! Hahaha!"

The tunnel was once again filled with the chattering noises of dwarves, a thrilling battle, a strange scar, former mining companions, a special piece of ore, or curses on those metallurgists and alchemists, making the dark tunnel It almost turned into a lively outing. Chen Jinyang had never met such a nagging guy before, and he regretted this action! Chen Jinyang almost had the urge to strangle this old boy to death.

"I bet! As long as we walk another hundred meters, we can reach the best mining area! Otherwise, the other half of my beard will disappear!" Singers shouted after walking around a corner.

"If your bet can be fulfilled! Even a hundred beards are not enough to disappear!" Chen Jinyang, who was almost crazy, attacked the one-eyed dwarf mercilessly.

After several hours of trekking, the two people, who had traveled almost ten miles, still could not find a suitable excavation area. After entering a fork in the road, there was a sudden noise in the darkness ahead, and Sings quickly stopped talking and walking. , picked up the warhammer and the steel shield in the tow truck, and made a defensive posture towards the darkness. Upon seeing this, Chen Jinyang also drew out the scimitar on his back, and took off the bull's-eye lantern on the tow truck with his other hand, and the two of them walked slowly towards Gradually explore forward.

"Bang!" "Boom!" "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of dull tapping sounds on the rock formations, someone was mining! Singers shouted excitedly: "I said it! I said it! Mineral deposits !Ore deposit! Haha!" The one-eyed dwarf quickly ran back with his short legs to push the bucket, and the armor on his body kept clicking.

When the two people approached the area where the excavation sound came from, the excavation sound suddenly disappeared. The old dwarf was carried away by excitement, while Chen Jinyang was brave as a skilled man. The two rushed to the location where the excavation sound was heard without hesitation. No one is here! There is nothing! Chen Jinyang lit a pitch pine torch to illuminate the surroundings, but at the end of a tunnel, there were several piles of rubble falling on the jagged stone walls. They were obviously knocked down by something, but there was nothing around them. No people or tools exist.

Chen Jinyang and Sings looked at each other for a long time. The old dwarf was heartbroken and said loudly: "Work has started! Even a giant dragon here can't stop old Sings from working!" He picked up the bucket.

The mining pick began to work. Chen Jinyang inserted a torch in the cavity in the wall. It seemed that someone had specially carved it. He took out the crossbow from the magic bag and loaded the arrows. He also placed the scimitar in a convenient position, and then from

Pick up the mining pickaxe from the drag bucket.
