After counting the loot, Downton couldn't help but take a deep breath. The harvest was so rich. Money, magic stones, equipment, let's not talk about these for now. Just having a relationship with Dove Carat and getting his appreciation is just a piece of cake.
Intangible trump card.
Downton believed that as long as he brought Tyson's brother's head back, even if he could not become the chief engineer, he would still be able to escape the position of supervisor.
If little Grandet wants to cause trouble again, it won't be that easy.
"Big brother!" Hutao tugged on Downton's sleeves.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the little Loli hesitate to speak, Downton didn't know why. Then he followed her gaze and looked at the torn dragon's teeth placed aside, and then he came to his senses, "You want to find the battle axe?
"
"Is that okay?" Hu Tao has not taken the initiative to ask for other people's things, and she feels very embarrassed, but she also thinks that Downton is not an outsider, "You have a new weapon, that one shouldn't be used, right?"
"Well, I'll give it to you." Downton smiled, "Whatever you want in the future, just tell me."
Although Downton has reached the fourth level of soul, at this stage he is mainly focusing on strengthening the origin of his soul and increasing his soul power. His physical fitness is still average. It is still very difficult for him to easily wield the tearing dragon fang, so he might as well give it to Hu Tao.
"Big brother is so good!" Hutao cheered, trotted to the tomahawk, picked it up, and waved it a few times, as easily as swiping a bean sprout.
Out of courtesy, Homer did not use magic to detect the little Loli's body, nor did he perform a blood purification test on her, otherwise he could roughly figure out her bloodline, but in any case, she was definitely not a pure human.
"Two-thirds of these trophies are yours, don't be shy, just ask if you want anything." Downton leaned against the cave wall. If it weren't for Hu Tao, he wouldn't be able to find the treasury, let alone get the trophies.
For a third, he was already very embarrassed.
"Hey, according to the rules of the mercenary world, shouldn't it be half and half?" Hu Tao was surprised. Then he waved his hand nonchalantly, "I only need this battle ax, and the rest will be given to my brother."
Thinking of the precious and rare ghost honey given by her elder brother when she was the hungriest, the little Loli felt that she should repay him.
"Stop arguing, help her save it." Seeing that Downton was about to say it again, Homer quickly dissuaded her. With the master's generous character, if the little Loli doesn't leave, he will definitely have to raise her in the future. He knows how to do it.
What?
"Jackson is alert, but it should be safe here. You should be tired after fighting all night. Go to bed early!" Downton was injured, and once he relaxed, he felt very tired. After warning Hutao, he quickly entered
Dreamland.
Hu Tao made a silencing gesture towards Jackson. Then she ran to Downton and lay down against him like a kitten.
Homer took out a blanket and covered them.
…
As the sun rose in the east, the riot in the Dagger Mine finally subsided and the fire was extinguished. However, there were still some flames on some destroyed buildings.
Mining had to stop, and the miners, under the urging of the temporary overseers promoted from Dofink's front line, moved, buried the bodies, and organized everything in the mine.
The guards looked nervous. They led groups of captured thugs to the dungeon. After reporting to Placido, these people would be beheaded.
There are also some guards who are arresting people everywhere. As long as they are identified miners, regardless of whether they participated in the riot or not, they will be locked up first.
"What? Haven't found Downton yet?" Dofink rarely gets angry, but this time, he slapped the servant hard.
After questioning, Dofink already knew that Downton had done a lot yesterday and was definitely the key figure in quelling the riots. If he hadn't killed Ram and Holyfield in time, the thugs would have lost their leader and would have become a mess.
, and then fight on their own. If you want to defeat them, it will take a lot of effort to form a pair.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you send someone to find him quickly?" After yelling at the servant, Dofink stood in front of the window and looked at the half-burned mine. He felt heartbroken, but he soon became happy again. After passing
After this chaos, I was finally able to eliminate the dissenters and arrange my own people. However, the only trouble was that Doshaf never showed up.
"What on earth is that guy thinking? Is he planning to prove his alibi? Haha, if he knew that the riot failed, he would probably be furious, right?" Dofink said to himself, and soon frowned again,
Sighed.
Once the mine is taken down, troubles will continue. The Black Flame Church will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely plant spies. In the end, it might be the fate of being sidelined.
When he thought of that huge mysterious organization, Dofink became slumped and didn't even dare to feel any resistance.
"Looking at their behavior, it seems that they are cannibalizing Placido's industry. Are they preparing to replace him in the end?" The sudden thought of this made Dofink break out in a cold sweat. If that is true, the Black Flame Church's
The target is definitely not the entire Western Territory, but...
Gotze was mixed in the crowd, cleaning the ruins of the dormitory building. He was tired and sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to be lazy. The supervisor had just taken office and was worried about being dismissed, so he devoted 200% of his energy to work. Unlucky
Naturally, they are ordinary miners.
"Hurry up, you won't be allowed to eat until you finish your work at noon!"
Gotze ignored the scoldings and listened to the discussions of the miners. They were all saying that Downton played a great role in the riot yesterday and would definitely become the chief engineer. However, some people also said that he was killed by an ogre.
Already.
"It's better to die!"
Whenever Gotze thought about his cowardly behavior at the gate when he first came to the mine, he deeply regretted it. If he had stood by Downton's side at that time, his current situation would have been much better. However, after a while, these thoughts turned into a thick
Deeply jealous, he longed for Downton to die. He didn't want to see that boy of the same age climb into a position that he couldn't reach.
"It's Downton who's back!"
Suddenly someone shouted, which shocked Goetze's chaotic thoughts. He would never admit that he wanted to see if Downton hadn't come back, so he followed the running crowd and stumbled towards the place where everyone was watching.
Before Gotze could get closer, he saw the crowd parting like a receding tide, revealing a passage. Downton's demon servant walked through first, followed by a arrogant little loli, who not only carried a
She had a battle ax with a handle that was taller than her, and what was even more terrifying was that she was actually dragging an ogre that was nearly five meters tall.
Holyfield's body was dragged on the ground, its skin and flesh were worn out, and it was stained with a lot of dust. Although it was in a mess, its huge figure still made it look full of intimidation, which attracted many miners to marvel.
Wearing a hundred-man warrior leather armor and a Black Dragon Wings cavalry saber on his waist, the handsome and dashing Downton was like a triumphant hero. His long military boots stepped on the ground and also stepped on Gotze's heart.
Gotze was in a trance. For a moment, he felt that he had become Downton and was receiving cheers from everyone.
Bang, a sudden slap on the back of the head made Gotze return to reality in shock.
"Why are you dazed? Go to work!" the supervisor yelled with an angry look on his face, and then ran quickly towards Downton. Before he even got close, he had already put on a flattering smile.
"Sir, is this heavy? Let's do it!"
Dozens of supervisors showed great courtesy to their future bosses and helped Walnut transport the ogres. As for the former mine tyrants and thugs, they did not have enough status and did not even have a chance to get close, so they were kicked away by the supervisors.
Before Downton could enter the principal's villa, Dofink hurried over after receiving the news. After rushing in front of him, he immediately gave him a bear hug.
"It's great that you can come back safely." Dofink rubbed Downton's hair, "From today on, you are the chief engineer of the Dagger Mine!"
Although they had expected it, when they heard Dofink's personal promise, the miners around him couldn't help but exclaimed. Downton was really too young.
He is only fifteen years old, and his future prospects are bound to be limitless.
At this moment, envy, jealousy, and admiration mixed together and fell on Downton.
The sunlight shone on Downton's side face, making his edges and corners more distinct. A smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, which was also very friendly.
Gotze clenched his fists so hard that his nails pierced his palms, but the regret and jealousy could not be eliminated and were clearly imprinted in his mind.
"Thank you for your appreciation!" Downton was not proud. He knew that Dofink was showing off, and the body of Holyfield he brought back was also a substantial achievement.
"Okay! Very good! You are worthy of being a man in my Western Region!" Dofink let go of Downton and looked at the miners around him, "As long as you work hard, serve the mine, and serve me, I will definitely not treat you badly, and I will not treat you badly."
More positions and more generous salaries are waiting for you."
The miners cheered and shouted that the boss was wise.
Dofink is very satisfied with the effect. He wants the entire mine to be under his control.
The mine's dormitory area needs to be rebuilt. With Downton's new identity, he has a lot of opportunities to make a lot of money. However, he no longer values the 'little money', so he took a month's leave on the pretext of being seriously injured and needing to recuperate.
.
Dofink did not refuse and told him to take a good rest. In fact, he was also worried that Downton was too young and had no work experience, which would delay the resumption of mining in the mine. Now that he took the initiative to rest, everyone was happy.
"Brother, I'm ready. Where is the mysterious place you mentioned?" Hutao carried a backpack as big as a mountain bag and entered Downton's temporary accommodation. As for the goblin Abagon, he was casually thrown into the mine.
, anyway, others regard it as Downton's slave and dare not abuse it.
After Arnold entered the tunnel, he gained nothing and came back disappointed.
Downton gave him a sum of money and asked him to find those compatriots who had crossed the frozen soil of the North. Although this group of barbarians was small in number, they were a considerable force when united.
"Stand up!" Downton carried his backpack and stepped on the magic circle.
"Teleportation magic circle?" Hutao's eyes lit up and he jumped up, "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there!" Downton let go of the grimoire, "Homer, start teleporting!" (To be continued...)
