Perhaps he was used to such a reaction, or perhaps he was naturally thick-skinned. Alberich continued his nonsensical sneer, pointing his thick finger to the side of the wooden house.
"Those who are trying to escape and rebel are there. We have no objection to those who have the courage to join that ranks."
The sounds of showing off power echoed from the prisoners who were lined up in neat rows. Like strips of meat in a butcher shop, the bodies hung on hooks with wires wrapped around their necks told the ending of the escape story. The corpses were embalmed and covered with asphalt.
The wind that happened to pass by occasionally played with it, as if to recreate the scene of the tortured person dying.
"Talk less, work more. Follow orders, don't ask questions. - These are the rules here, dismissed."
The drug addiction to power turned Alberich to a point of excitement at the moment the prisoners' faces lost color. Even though his status was still low, he had dozens of workers who did not receive wages and benefits, and managed a large mining area.
The dwarf has now far surpassed the career peak that his father could reach - a black-hearted small mine owner with 15 miners. Not only the number of people, but also the cost exceeds his father's, and the sophisticated and efficient mining technology and equipment are not comparable to those in the past.
, Alberich could almost straighten his short and strong body, loudly announcing that he had surpassed his father and would carry forward the family.[
——Just a little bit, this is no longer a dream or a joke.
Fortunately, he has never done such an extremely stupid thing, otherwise Freya would be happy to send an invitation to tea. After a while, there will be another coolie in the hard labor camp with no name, no file, and only a number.
.
【Impulse is the devil.】
Silently reciting the warning motto Shangfeng once said in his heart, the dwarf's newly opened vision took in an unusual picture.
Workers in blue and white prison uniforms kept shaking the sieves and carefully sorting out various metal minerals. Another group of guys wearing cotton gauze gloves and masks carefully sprayed unknown solvents on the overturned and cracked rock soil.
[In situ crushing and leaching method] (Note)
Alberich only knew the name of this new mining method. The complicated principle terms like [Genetic Improvement], [Thiobacillus ferrooxidans], [Microspirillum], [Bacteria], and [Microorganisms] all came from
Memorize vocabulary and understand the meaning of those vocabulary.
The only thing we know is the work process - beneficiation, drilling, blasting, crushing, leaching, smelting. Knowing these is enough.
Alberich has no ambition to become an excellent model student. He is very interested in making money. The middle-aged dwarf has little interest in technical issues other than business. He is only interested in the huge profits hidden behind the revolutionary mining technology that saves time and labor.
At the same moment, this issue was also being discussed elsewhere.
"The output of the mining area increased by 15%, the reserves of precious metals such as gold and silver increased by 23% year-on-year, and the output of iron, copper, nickel, and titanium exceeded expectations. The sales of cotton cloth increased by 70%, and there is a risk of supply exceeding demand."
Three months can change a lot of things. The tent becomes a house, beech wood filing cabinets are added for stacking reports and various materials, and wooden tables and chairs with patterned carvings and porcelain tea sets are provided for the guests who come and go.
The boy reciting the report, the young man listening to the progress, and the middle-aged man sitting upright no longer wearing the linen clothes of the past, were replaced by cotton clothes that showed good financial status.
Only one thing is still stubbornly refusing to make any concessions and is firmly entrenched in the house.
Let visitors experience the part that violates harmony and cannot be understood.
In line with the personality of the owner, it can be said that the core style of the room furnishings has not changed at all.
A workaholic paranoia that places great emphasis on workability and practicality, even at the expense of living comfort.
What the owner and designer may want is a studio, and living life is purely a side function.
Only work is needed, only work is left - such a compulsive idea radiates strongly from the room.
[At least consider making some modifications to show status. A room that overemphasizes functionality will only make visitors feel neglected.][
The stiffness of forced fixed thinking made him feel uncomfortable all over. Thinking back to the living furnishings when he was a nobleman in the past, Sade sighed and commented in his heart.
"Pay attention to the waste treatment process after smelting and tell them not to be lazy. There are still necessary procedures to follow."
The voice of the owner of the house was like a clear spring, clear and smooth with a hint of coldness, which suddenly awakened Sade who was distracted. He had a humble smile on his face, his spine maintained a clever arc, and his body posture was so subtle that his eyes and front were never looking at him.
The pupils of the eyes maintain a height difference.
The other party's elegant and modest tone made people feel relaxed, and there was no misuse of grammar.
The black hair is so dark that even the night sky makes one sigh, the facial contours are elegant yet slightly childish, the facial features are delicate yet full of vitality, and the elusive and mysterious red pupils are reflected.
Many incredible elements came together, exuding an indescribably beautiful magical appearance and emitting an elegant aura suitable for communication. Sade shook off the rude thoughts that he thought were not exposed, and maintained a humble and obedient posture.
A beautiful boy with a magical appearance that reminds many who see his true appearance of a work of art, he cannot allow himself to show slack. Magicians who have witnessed many instances with their own eyes always remind themselves of this.
"Cotton production is about to reach the upper limit, and the planting area needs to be expanded. Contact Vali: [Look for suitable land, buy it immediately if the price is right. Cotton seeds will be sent there immediately.] Just tell him so."
After finishing the business work, my fingers tapped on the desktop in a monotonous rhythm.
The bright red lips wrinkled slightly, and the magician's rationality was in a trance.
"Mr. Sade, you have been here for three months. What do you think of everything in Niflheim?"
Showing his generous and gentle words, Li Lin seemed to be in a good mood.
"Your career is going well and you are a model of success."
Pay compliments carefully, not as annoying as a despicable person who only knows how to flatter, nor as unsophisticated as someone who is too upright. There is just the right amount of philistine in the smooth words, exactly what a small citizen should have.
standard posture.
"Yeah, everything went well."
The tapping was precise and steady every second, and the gentle smile deepened, becoming more like sarcasm.
"Our career must go smoothly, it must go smoothly."
The topic and the atmosphere began to deviate subtly, the magician's hands crossed uncomfortably, and the sharply turned topic was inserted like a knife suddenly thrown out.
"Otherwise we won't be able to chat leisurely like now."
The knocking stopped.
Cold sweat seeped from Sade's back, and his underwear became sticky and heavy.
warn?[
trial?
Or – both?
"Whether it was voluntary or not, Mr. Sade tried his best to help and participated in our cause. He is an excellent collaborator. In view of your contribution to metal smelting and other aspects, we will give you special treatment among human beings. You are welcome to
Your actions have earned you a reward, and I hope that all humans in the Niflheim Valley can learn from your exemplary spirit."
The indifferent red eyes reflect the joke, and the words of praise are mixed with the aftertaste of ridicule.
The forehead, armpits, legs - wherever there are sweat glands, they are constantly exuding body fluids that take away heat.
[Accomplice], [Defeat to the enemy], [Degenerate], [Traitor], [Abandon faith]...
All kinds of embarrassing labels continued to come to Li Lin as he was relieved, from head to toe to his knees... His expression barely maintained a minimum of humility, and his trembling hands rubbed back and forth nervously.
Humiliation, anger, anxiety, fear.
Sade was experiencing the alternation of intense emotions.
"Our career will go smoothly, and it will continue to do so in the future, Mr. Sade."
——It must go smoothly, otherwise as an accomplice, there will be no backing to protect him. The human magician will definitely be the one to lay the coffin, and no one will let him go.
The option of quitting has been eliminated from his future long ago, and once betrayed, there is no turning back.
"...What you said is absolutely true."
His shoulders slumped, and the magician, who was considered tall among the crowd, looked stooped and dwarfed.
"Thank you for the compliment, Nidhogg. Let's bring some refreshments."
"As you command, Your Excellency."
The porcelain tea set, the only luxury item in the room, was quickly placed, and the movements of making tea were skillful and elegant. With a serious expression, he was almost a butler of a wealthy family who broke the age limit and was promoted. Secretary and butler junior Nidhogg could no longer be found in him.
The lazy nature of Dingdian dragons.
——A man who can manipulate and change even dragons.
In the past, I would have only thought of such an existence as bragging and a joke. After seeing the real scene for the first time, I felt like I was having a stroke and could not speak a complete sentence. Now, it is part of my daily life, a commonplace background.
Compared with the huge changes in the living environment in the valley in the past three months, they are at most the pebbles at the foot of the mountain that are not worth looking at and can be seen everywhere.
Put aside abstract and difficult numbers and charts. What you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, smell with your nose, taste with your tongue, and touch with your body - all kinds of information recorded by the five senses, and their decorations are better than any language or text.
They are all intuitive and profound.
plenty.
Condensing all feelings, metaphors, descriptions, compressing and refining the words that can best summarize the situation.
Less than rich, more than poor, ensuring food and clothing every day.
The biggest change in the elf village is its progress from abject poverty to relative abundance.
The experimentally grown vegetables are in good condition, and the number of poultry and livestock is growing steadily. The food on the table is no longer so monotonous and unpalatable that it makes diners want to hit the wall. There is a ration of meat every day, and spices and the like are still in limited supply due to price factors.
, although the food delicacy index continues to remain at a low level, compared with the days when three meals were surrounded by pickles, the gap is like a plain and an abyss.
The vigorous development of the cotton textile industry allowed the elves to wear cotton clothes that only the citizen class and above could afford. With their rosy and healthy complexions, Sade found it even more unbelievable.
[Elves are a race with many outstanding appearance people.]
The common sense that humans have deliberately ignored and selectively forgotten (the church will never admit the beauty of evil races, it is equivalent to a slap in the face) was finally correctly recognized by the magician. The former noble could not help but spit on the shameless people in the church.
The thing is drooling - on a spiritual level.

Interpretation of small theater time
Nidhogg: Lord Li Lin, what is [In-situ crushing and leaching method]?
Li Lin: Use acid, alkali or salt as a solvent to leaching metal minerals, transferring the useful metals into the solution, and then extracting them. Because some bacteria can accelerate the leaching process, it is also called chemical mining or bacterial mining.
.China is the first country in the world to apply the leaching method. It used the leaching method to mine copper as early as a thousand years ago. I use genetically modified bacterial solutions to leach various metal ores.
