Chapter 295: Chapter 289, Tavern Drunkard 1
Translator: 549690339 —
Approaching, the Gnoll leader was brought in.
Domina pulled out the Slave Scroll and they signed the Slave Contract.
The power of the contract bound them both.
Domina’s cold face softened, the Gnoll leader behaving even more obediently. He quietly kneeled, silent beside them.
“Alright, I will take you two to the mine now.” Fang Hao said, leading the way out of the nest.
Domina and the Gnoll silently followed him.
The Bone Dragon landed in front of the mine.
Even though Domina has eight legs, she still staggered and trembled as she descended from the dragon’s back.
It took her a while to recover before she could barely stand up again. This is the mine I was talking about. You two will be responsible for the mining, maintaining both progress and output.” Fang Hao pointed ahead. Even though the mine entrance was blocked by stones, the outline could still be seen.
“Moving the workers won’t be an issue, but we currently lack mining tools.” Domina said, her brow furrowed in concern.
Spiderlings were not adept at making tools, let alone Gnolls.
Squatting on the side, he was still not accustomed to the aftermath of flying high on the bone dragon.
“Don’t worry about tools, I will prepare them for you. Once the area is developed, you can start mining right away.”
“Alright, I have no issues then.” Domina nodded.
The plan discussed between the three was simple.
The Mithril Mine would be developed, the Gnoll would be in charge of mining, and Domina would be responsible for safety and logistics.
Having discussed everything and not being able to think of any additional issues, what came next was straight to the point.
Fang Hao used the Book of Lords to produce the necessary mining tools. [Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, obtained 101 mining carts], [Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, obtained 505 flatbed carts], [Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, obtained 1010 White Steel Mining Picks].
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, obtained 1010 Mine Tracks],
When the light faded, a large number of items appeared in front of everyone. Domina and the Gnoll, they looked as though they had seen ghosts, their faces displaying utter astonishment and their mouths wide open.
To them,
the tools that appeared out of thin air, was no less than a god’s grace.
And the quantity was so substantial.
[Domina’s loyalty towards you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty is
63.]
Domina’s loyalty has increased by 10 point.
It has risen past 60.
Returning to the Webweaver encampment, as the sun was about to set, night was approaching.
Fang Hao, along with Anjia and the others, climbed onto the Bone Dragon, intending to return to his territory.
“Domina, I’ll leave a Bone Dragon for you. Once you’re done with the mine, ride the Bone Dragon to the main city for hero assessment.”
Even if Domina was still somewhat cold towards him,
The contract between them still existed, Domina could officially become a hero. It would be beneficial for both the territory and the guarding of the mine. Hearing Fang Hao’s words, Domina’s expression momentarily lit with excitement as she stepped forward to lay a hand on the Bone Dragon’s body and looked up at Fang Hao, “You, do you have a Merit Training Ground?” The matter of becoming a hero, had always been a concern for Domina. The long-lasting battle with the Gnolls this time was a consequence of transporting wealth to the Orc City.
Knowing that Fang Hao had a Merit Training Ground, she felt a surge of excitement for a moment.
“Yes! When you come then, I’ll arrange an assessment for you.”
Thank you, sir.” After thanking him, Domina awkwardly said again, “Sir, I do not have a Hero Heart.”
I will prepare that for you. The same goes for your people, those who can attain the tenth rank can come to the main city for ascension.” Fang Hao looked at the other Spiderlings and said calmly.
“Thank you, sir.” Domina expressed her respect with a bow. [Domina’s loyalty towards you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty is 73.] Domina’s loyalty has once again increased.
“Alright, you guys go back to your duties, and make sure the mine starts operations within two days.”
The tools needed for the mine, including bags for the ore and mine carts, have been made.
All that’s needed now is manpower to start mining.
“Yes, my lord.”
As everyone bowed, Fang Hao patted the neck of his Bone Dragon and soared into the sky, flying towards his territory.
Meanwhile…
In Lyss City, inside a tavern.
The moon was rising, and the tavern was at its most bustling.
The tavern hall was filled with patrons, drinking beer and talking loudly about gossip and women.
Bang!
Suddenly, the tavern door was pushed open forcefully.
The loud noise caused all the patrons to instinctively look over.
Entering was a woman.
The woman had broad shoulders and long limbs.
Her wheat-colored skin was covered in a brown leather armor. After she rushed
in, people thought that the woman was scantily clad.
The patrons’ eyes greedily swept over the woman’s chest and the exposed midriff outside the armor.
Even m the dim light, one could see the muscular lines of her abdomen and a half-exposed bear head tattoo on her waistline.
This woman was different from the ones they usually encountered, emitting an aura of wildness.
Gulp!
The patrons swallowed their saliva.
At this time, a woman coming to the tavern was not a wise decision, but it was enough to arouse the passion of the half-drunk patrons.
Some wanted to tease her.
But when the woman stepped over the threshold and revealed the dried blood on her chest armor and the long knife at her waist, all the men high in spirits immediately shut their mouths and returned their attention to their drinks and conversations.
The woman walked in, followed by several burly men with unfriendly expressions.
“What will you have?” the owner asked.
This was Lyss City, known for its good order.
Most people who came here were to drink, not to cause trouble.
“Beer, and some side dishes,” the woman said.
Alright, wait a moment,” said the owner, and began preparing food for them. The beer was brought up, and the woman took a sip before she asked in a low voice, “Does the owner know somebody named Hodge? I have a message from a friend of his. They said he often comes here to drink.”
As she spoke, she patted her backpack.
Hearing the woman’s words, the owner was slightly stunned.
No one would believe such a claim, and Hodge was a known alcoholic here. If he had a friend, he would chatter about it for days.
Considering their appearances, they seemed less like messengers and more like debt collectors looking for Hodge.
“Don’t know him,” the owner replied tersely and moved on to his chores.
The woman continued to drink, saying no more.
Bang!
As they were eating and drinking, something happened at an inward table. A chair was kicked over, and a staggering old head stood straight up on the table.
He loudly boasted, “Look here, this is the scar I got when I fought with a vampire, and it is also the most precious medal of my life.”
The table was shaking, and the old man wavered on his feet, nearly falling down.
“Hodge, you’ve had enough to drink today, go home,” another patron tried to persuade him.
“Why go home,” Hodge pushed away the person who was trying to help him and continued, “Is there anyone else willing to buy a drink for the human hero, the great vampire hunter!”
No one at the other tables paid any attention to him.
No one else was willing to pay for his booze.
“Give him a drink, put it on my tab.”
Suddenly, the woman at the counter spoke.
