Chapter 141: Others
Chapter 141: Others
There are two teams of guild fighters protecting and supervising these miners.
A knight led the team into the cave entrance, and the cave was pitch black.
Director Reina took out a rune stone, which emitted soft white light and illuminated an area.
"It's a naturally occurring channel."
He felt wisps of fresh wind blowing by.
"There is an exit from this passage."
Director Reina judged.
The team marched cautiously through the passage, and everyone tensed up, wary of monsters that might appear at any time.
"Been gone for 50 minutes."
Director Reina glanced at the system time.
Along the way, they encountered no monsters.
"etc!"
Director Reina stopped the team. He listened carefully and vaguely heard a tinkling sound.
"Did you hear that?"
"It was like the sound of mining."
"Is it possible..."
"We found other human towns?!"
Everyone became excited when they thought of this possibility. This was the first time they had encountered humans outside of the Hope Guild since the world merged. 06"Lower your voice."
"Don't let your guard down."
"keep going.
Director Reina scolded in a low voice, and everyone immediately fell silent, maintaining the standard battle formation and continuing to explore forward.
It's just that everyone speeded up their pace in unison.
Everyone quickened their pace and moved faster. After a while, a clear clanking sound reached everyone's ears.
A dim light shines from the corner in front of the passage.
Director Reina put away the lighting rune stones.
"Ready to fight."
In today's Cao Dan world, you never know what you will face at the next moment. Being cautious at all times is a necessary quality for survival.
The knight raised his shield in front of him and entered the corner at the lead, with the rest of the people following him closely.
"This is....……"
The improvement of their eyesight allows them to see things clearly in dim light. When they turn the corner, what appears in front of everyone's eyes is a living human being.
This is the first time they have encountered humans other than the residents of the Hope Guild in more than two months since the world merged.
Although it had only been more than two months, everyone present felt that a long time had passed, as if a lifetime had passed.
"Look, those people..."
Director Reina recovered from his surprise and excitement, looked at the human in front of him, and frowned tightly.
There was an eerie silence lingering in the mine.
Those people were in ragged clothes, with sallow faces and thin muscles, and dull eyes. They were like bodies that had lost their souls. They only knew how to mechanically wield mining picks.
"Benoit, go and ask them about their origins."
"Be careful to keep your distance. After all, there are monsters that can parasitize humans.
"Okay, supervisor.
A sword king with a sunny face and a kind-hearted medical appearance agreed.
Because the team was in darkness, the miners did not detect them.
The sunshine swordsman walked not far from the miner closest to the team and said to him: "Uncle, where is this place?"
The miner, whose hair was messy, trembled when he heard Benoit's words. The mining pick slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
He turned his head suddenly, his expression numb, and when he saw Benoit, his pupils tightened and his eyes lit up a little.
Then he stared closely at Benoit's light armor and weapons, and the light in his eyes immediately went out again.
"You are not one of them..."
"Where are you from?"
The Sunshine Swordsman said: "Uncle, we are from the Hope Guild."
Director Reina stepped forward and asked, "Who are they you are talking about?"
The body of the miner, with his messy hair, shook violently.
"Hope Guild, where is Hope Guild..."
He answered the question incorrectly, and then the miner's expression suddenly changed, with disbelief and ecstasy.
"You guys are from another human town?!"
"Yes, we are from the City of Hope, Hope Guild. We dug through a mine wall and followed the passage here."
The messy-haired miner exclaimed: "Hope Guild! Dig through the mine wall!"
His exclamation was heard far away in the passage, and other miners stopped mining and looked over.
"What's going on? You're lazy again. You bunch of bastards, haven't you had enough whip?
Accompanied by the sound of cursing, a figure holding a whip appeared from the corner ahead.
The miner's body shook violently, and he felt himself trembling uncontrollably. His eyes showed deep resentment and fear.
Director Reina's eyes turned cold.
"kill him."
The team prompt passed, clearly indicating the sound and shadow holding a whip in front of them.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow was shot out, and before the man could figure out what happened, he was pinned to the rock wall by the arrow.
His legs twitched a few times, his health points cleared, and he died.
[Ding! You caused 2160 points of damage]
"I...I killed someone!"
The archer in the team was a young man who subconsciously obeyed Director Reina's order. At this moment, when he realized that he had just killed a person, his face turned pale and his hands could not stop shaking.
Killing monsters and killing real people feel completely different.
"Don't panic, it's okay."
A swordsman beside him patted the archer on the shoulder.
Seeing this scene, a dozen miners in the passage fell into chaos.
"One arrow, that person..."
"Kill him!"
"It's over, it's over, we are all going to die!"
"They are terrible and cruel!"
Director Reina said solemnly: "To mine in the 973 mining field of the Hope Guild, you only need to turn in 500 gold coins every day."
"If you are willing to join the Hope Guild, come with me."
Director Reina's two words were like a magic spell. The 13 miners suddenly fell silent and looked directly at Director Reina.
Then, the miner with messy hair came out.
"Whether what you say is true or not, at least my situation will not get worse."
"I'll go with you."
"Uncle, I don't need to lie to you."
"Don't call me uncle, I'm 21 years old."
The remaining 12 miners had no other choice. With the miner's uncle taking the lead, they all expressed their willingness to follow Director Reina back soon.
So 13 miners followed the team back along the passage.
"How many gold coins do you have to hand over to the guild every day?"
Director Reina asked casually.
"Give them 3,000 gold coins every day."
"In other words, you don't have many gold coins left every day."
"Yes, just enough to fill my stomach..."
"What will happen if you can't mine 3,000 gold coins a day?"
"They...will torture us, there are priests...they torture us until we want to die.
"You keep talking about them, who are they?"
"They are the rulers of the City Crystal. Without their permission, we are not allowed to get close to the City Crystal.
