Release that Witch

493. Chapter 493 gem mine

    When Roland got up from the bed, the sky was already bright.

    He********, walked to the window, the white buildings have exposed their respective background colors, and the red tile gray walls are mixed together to form a vibrant variegated color. Although the interior is still very cold, but in the face of the sun, you can feel a little warmth.

    The earth has snowed.

    Into the study room, the table is placed with today’s breakfast, a fried egg and two pancakes, plus a cup of hot water, as in the small town, apparently Nightingale prepared for himself.

    “Thank you,” Roland said to the empty lounge chair.

    “How do you know that I am here?”The figure of Nightingale gradually emerged.

    “You can’t sit when you can lie down,” he smiled, holding the two pancakes in the egg and sending it to his mouth. “And the back of the chair is stuck, I don’t know if there is a ghost.”

    “No, I like it too,” she said, and she appeared on the desk and turned to sit on the edge of the table. “Like here.”

    This set of movements is always in the air, Roland thinks, especially the process of breaking into the fog and then coming out, it is like a transition.

    “You look good and have a good dream?”

    She raised an eyebrow. “Well, it’s a good dream.”

    “That’s good,” Roland swallowed the “egg burger” a few mouthfuls. “Today you have to follow me.”

    “Because of the assassination?”

    “Well,” he said, “If the “Gem List” is actually enabled by Timothy, there may be other dark chess in the Western Region, and we can’t review everyone. ”Those who are loyal to the royal family and have the courage to do so should not be wasting the assassination. They could have put themselves in a more promising position to exert their abilities. Thinking of this, Roland further strengthened his determination to eradicate Timothy’s forces as soon as possible.

    “As you wish, Your Highness,” Nightingale smiled. “Where is the trip today?”

    “Pool and salt well, this is one of the main purposes of my visit here.”

……

    After calling Petrov and a group of related personnel to the castle, the inspection team drove to the outside of the city.

    Although Roland is more concerned about the iron ore in Maple Leaf and Wild Rose, the gem trade is also a pillar industry of the Longsong region, and it is also close to stronghold, so the first stop of the inspection was placed on this famous place. Five-color gem mine.

    Due to the snow, the ground became muddy and the carriage could not pass. The pedestrians could only ride slowly and arrived at the edge of the Impassable Mountain Range. It took half a morning. Roland once again convinced the truth that “I want to be rich, build roads first.” There is no hard road leading to the mining site. Once it rains, it is impossible to transport the ore smoothly. The high output is useless.

    The veins are located in a natural grotto. After a short passage, the interior is suddenly open. Nearly a hundred bunches of turpentine torches can only take a picture of the inside of the grotto. Roland raised head asked after a look, “Is this cave naturally formed?”

    “Yes, Your Highness,” Petrov nodded. “The rumor even found it to be an accident: it was originally a smooth rock wall. There was a shock in the earth more than three hundred years ago. The rock wall collapsed and revealed the present. Hole. At first, the local hunter used this place as a shelter for rain. Later, as the exploration continued, the existence of the five-color gem was discovered. ”

    “You know it very well,” Roland laughed.

    “These stories are well-known in the Western Region,” Petrov swayed, bringing a man from the team. “His name is Denver Kerian, the manager of the mine. You can ask him about the specifics.”

    “Are you a Duke Ryan person?”

    “No, Esteemed’s Highness, the Kerian family does not belong to any feudal lord,” said the man known as Denver. He was about thirty years old, but he was like a calm old man. I have lived around this mine for generations and found that its hunter is also one of the family’s ancestors. The family has served three Dukes, and the mine maps drawn are one person high. No one can know the mine like Kerian. ”

    I can see that he is very proud of this, even if he is facing the Prince of Greycastle, he can still talk. And the steady temperament is exceptional, and a set of slim black uniforms is like the old housekeepers of the millennial family in the movie.

    Since the group passed the Nightingale review before the set off, Roland didn’t worry that he was a lurker. “Why is there no mining in the mine now?”

    “Because Months of Demon is just over, His Royal Highness,” Denver replied without thinking. “The snow in the mountains melts and merges into the mountains and flows down the river. Although the drainage ditch and the catchment well are set in the mine, the speed of water collection is much faster than that of the person, and the pit at the bottom is temporarily inaccessible. According to past practice, it is necessary to wait until the arrival of summer to normal mining. ”

    “Is it the same for iron ore in the Maple Leaf and Wild Rose territories?”

    “I haven’t been there yet, but I heard that the iron ore of the two homes has a higher terrain and the mine road extends upwards, which is much better than here. But if you want to resume production, you have to wait at least a month later. ”

    “It seems that you need to set up a few Steam engines to help pump the water.”Roland shrugged.

    steamMachine, what is that? ”Denver is confused.

    “A machine that keeps the mines from rest in the four seasons,” the prince couldn’t help but raise his mouth. “There is still a lot to be learned in the future—about mining.”

    The other side’s look seemed quite unbelief, and the lips moved, but in the end there was no rebuttal.

    Roland didn’t pay attention to it. The orbital mine car and the matching Steam engine pumping and traction system were very skilled in the Northern Slope Mine. They even sold a set to the Silver Light City ore tycoon. Higher steam equipment – just that he is not interested in the gem, will definitely focus on the development of the iron ore.

    “If that’s the case, go to the next place to visit.”Roland turned around.

    “Wait, Your Highness…This is a bit of a sense of the Kerian Family,” Denver probably didn’t expect the prince to leave immediately. He quickly took the first two steps and took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to him.

    Oh
Roland took the wooden box with great interest and opened the lid. I saw two crystal-clear gem lying in the box, the light of the torch makes it reflect the brilliance of red and green, dazzling. He couldn’t help but see, “This…Is the five colored stone? ”

    “Exactly, Your Highness, they are the best products selected from the most precious gems of the texture, and they are also the treasures of the family 100 years ago.”Denver said, “The Kerian family is honored to serve the new owner of the Western Region’s.”

    Roland didn’t listen to the second half of the other party. His attention has been concentrated on the gem. This light is too familiar. Even if he knows nothing about minerals, he has heard of the names of such stones.

    Compared to the fancy colored stone, it has a more interesting name, and in the later generations, it has another more popular name, Diasporite.
