Chapter 847 “Lowlanders” from the Republic

Bailing Kingdom, the mountain of gold.

Since the Bailing Kingdom signed the “Mainland Free Trade Agreement” with the Thousand Lakes Republic, the “Golden Mountain” of the plateau country has become one of the first places to be carefully managed by Hai Chao.

(Note: As mentioned in Chapter 754, the Mountain of Gold is a mountain formed from “Fool’s Gold” pyrite.)

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

With a series of deafening loud noises, a huge circle of flame mushroom clouds rose rapidly from the halfway of the Golden Mountain.

They are like the divine fire descended by the gods, adding a bright red halo to this mine that has fooled countless people.

However, for the mountain of gold itself, this is the uncompromising end.

At each blasting point, the devastating explosion caused by tons of “Fire Elemental Stone” powder not only easily blasted huge pits up to tens of meters deep, but also tore huge pits on the surface of the mountain. crack.

“Ka Ka… Ka Ka…”

A large thunderous explosion sounded from the inside of the mine. The tall peaks trembled violently, and large chunks of ore fell off the surface of the mountain and rolled down the steep slopes, constantly making a “rumbling” muffled sound. .

“Crack! Crack!”

A few louder explosions suddenly sounded inside the mountain, and a 130-meter-long mountain peak actually tilted slowly.

Selassie watched the scene of the collapse of the sky and the earth, only feeling that his heart was out of breath, and his mind was blank.

Around him, there was a cry of horror from the dark crowd.

“Oh, my God…”

“The mountain of gold is about to collapse…”

“The God of Ten Thousand Mountains is on the top, what have these ‘lower people’ from the Republic doing to the Golden Mountain…”

After the top of the mountain tilted to more than 45 degrees, it finally crashed down, like a meteorite from outside the sky, falling heavily on the mountainside.

“boom!!”

There was a loud noise.

Even though Selassie was standing more than ten kilometers away, he felt a tingling in his ears, and the soles of his feet were trembling from the ground, making him feel a little tingling.

In addition to the incomparably shocking sound effects, this section of the mountain weighing more than 100,000 tons also stirred up a huge cloud of smoke and dust that was more than one kilometer high, and the large and small gravel flew several kilometers away.

“boom!”

“boom!”

“boom!”

The mountain top broke into several pieces, and it rolled down all the way, making a long series of super loud noises, dust rolled up, and the whole mountain of gold was trembling non-stop.

Selassie was completely stunned.

At this moment, the 15-year-old has only one thought in his mind:

Are these terrible lowlanders all demons?

This thousand-meter-high golden mountain (non-elevation) has stood here for countless years. I didn’t expect the lowland people to come and collapse the peak.

There were rumors that the lowlanders had bought the mountain of gold from the noble lords and planned to dig out the mine. The people in the village sneered at this, thinking that it would be impossible for the lowlanders to dig for 10,000 years.

Unexpectedly, they only arrived in just a few days, and this place is quite short…

If this trend continues, I am afraid that in a few years at most, the mountain of gold will no longer exist…

Just as Selassie was thinking about it, there was a low voice in the crowd.

“Damn, we have to stop the lowlander…”

“Yeah, you can’t let the lowland guys get rid of the mountain of gold, it’s a symbol of this area…”

Some people hold different opinions.

“Come on, the mountain of gold is gone if it is gone, this is not a bad thing…”

“That’s right. Many people used pyrite to deceive people from other villages… Later everyone called us the ‘land of fraud’…”

“I agree, the mountain of gold is a symbol of fraudsters, and it happened to be dug up by the lowlanders…”

When the two sides were arguing, a loud roar came into everyone’s ears.

“Hey, everybody, for every 100 kilograms of iron ore transported, you can exchange for 1 copper nar reward, or 400 kilograms of iron ore for 1 kilogram of soybeans, rice and rice… The daily payment is settled on the same day, and you will never be in arrears… Besides… …”

However, no one wants to listen to the words after the word “other”.

More than 2,000 civilians rushed to the mountain of gold with wooden frames and other transportation tools.

Even the people who opposed the gold mountain being hollowed out, the most fiercely opposed people, were running wild after being unwilling.

After all, who would have trouble with money?

This group of poor ghosts in the “country of poor ghosts” have been poor for too long and too long…

Behind the poor ghosts, two “Beimon”-class heavy magic towing vehicles, each dragging several trailers, were slowly driving on the dilapidated road.

A driver looked at the poor ghosts who ran out of the army, and couldn’t help but slap his tongue:

“My God, they run so fast…”

Then he remembered something, and said to the car magic radio station:

“Max, why don’t you tell them that you can take’Beamon’ to the mining area?”

“Huh…huh…”

The radio made a few howls of cold wind, and a somewhat helpless voice came out:

“They ran so fast, I didn’t even have time to finish talking…”

The driver blinked and said:

“Maybe, they want to make money too…”

…

“The last 100 meters… hold on…”

Selassie gritted his teeth while roaring in his heart, holding the small wooden basket on his shoulders with both hands, and walked forward step by step.

Although there were only two pieces of pyrite in the wooden basket, the total weight was slightly more than 30 kilograms, but after more than 50 rounds of transportation, the boy was quite tired and his arm muscles were sore.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that the skin on his shoulders was also worn out, and every time he rubbed between the clothes and the wound, his brows wrinkled with pain.

After finally getting to the trailer, Selassie couldn’t wait to put down the wooden basket, took out the iron ore, and placed it on the pallet of the large scale.

He exhaled, wiped the sweat with his miserable sleeves, and said his job number:

“No. 1072, sir.”

“33 kg!”

The staff in charge of weighing and recording glanced at the slightly shaking weighing pole and quickly reported the answer, then turned over the notepad in his hand and wrote a note on one of the papers.

Selassie smiled and asked cautiously:

“Sir, I want to know how much iron ore have I moved so far?”

The staff directly read the number:

“No. 1072, Selassie, total weight 2,154 kg!”

Selassie grinned suddenly and laughed happily.

At this moment, he only felt tired all over his body, all missing.

He knew that 2154 kilograms of iron ore can be exchanged for 21 copper nar, or 5 kilograms of soy rice, which allows mother and three younger siblings to eat a few full meals without having to endure starvation in the cold winter. .

More importantly, this means that since his father died of illness, he has the ability to carry the burden of the family.

Although this is very hard work, but it will be rich in return.

The staff member looked at the sweaty teenager, sighed imperceptibly, and said:

“Hey, Selassie, you can exchange for 22 copper nars, or 5 kilograms of beans, rice and rice… Do you exchange it now or continue to accumulate?”

The young man was taken aback.

22 copper nars?

This is one more than expected.

When he was about to speak, a strange voice suddenly sounded:

“Oh, Selassie… you spent a whole day in the mine and only got 2 tons of iron ore?”

Selassie turned his head and looked around, and immediately locked his eyes on a young man with a face full of flesh and blood.

At this moment this guy was staring at the young man, with threats and a hint of greed in his eyes.

Behind the young man, there are two guys with shoulders and backs. While pointing at the young man, they whispered maliciously.

The boy’s face flushed instantly, and his childish face showed obvious fear.

The scornful young man said arrogantly:

“Do you know how much iron ore the three of us have carried? I tell you, a total of 12 tons!”

The two attendants also laughed, saying things like “trash” and “useless guys” constantly in their mouths.

The clerk on the other side’s expression instantly turned cold, he stood up with a “swish”, looked at the scornful youth and others, and said:

“From today, the’Golden Mountain Mine’ under the Haichao Chamber of Commerce will deny the three of you to enter… Now you have 3 minutes to settle today’s wages, and then…”

The clerk pointed to the distance and shouted sharply:

“Get me out of the mine!”

The scornful young man was stunned and hurriedly explained:

“Oh, respect… Honorable sir, I… I don’t mean to be disrespectful to you, it’s just…”

The staff interrupted the other party mercilessly:

“In addition, I suggest that you better remember that Selassie is an employee working for the’Golden Mountain Mine’. If Selassie or his family suffer any harm, it will be regarded as The offense of Shankuangchang and Haichao Chamber of Commerce… Then, I will make you pay a heavy price!”

He patted the wooden table hard again and made a “bang”.

“You still have 40 seconds to settle your wages. After 40 seconds, if you do not receive your wages, I will think that you voluntarily donate your wages to people in need…”

The three scums could not provoke the behemoth Haichao Chamber of Commerce, but also reluctant to give up Tongnar. They hurriedly collected the wages and left dingy.

The boy looked at the staff with red eyes, and his voice was a little trembling because of his emotions:

“First… Sir, you… you are such a good person…”

The clerk smiled slightly, and said in the gentlest tone as possible:

“Our Lord of the Supreme Council of the Thousand Lakes Republic once said,’All behaviors that rely on hands and hard work to make money must be encouraged and protected; and all behaviors that rely on ingenuity and opportunism to make profits, Must be severely hit, and must pay a sufficient price’…”

At this point, the staff’s voice became extremely solemn.

“Selasi, do it! Believe me, no one dares to bully you in the’Gold Mountain Mine’, and you will get the fairest treatment!”

“Ok!”

The boy nodded heavily.
