Vana: "Master, this wall has traces of silver. This must be a silver mine. "
"That would be amazing Vana but this mine is abandoned, I do not think there's money here"
Vana: "Quite the opposite, Master, this mine has not been exploited. It was abandoned at the beginning and it was the elves who found it. "
Vana: "The times started from the second cave where the women were, and it improves when you get here. I have seen mining equipment outside. Can I try to drill the wall? "
"It's okay; we do not lose anything trying, but be quick. I want to burn this altar. "
While waiting for Vana to return, she watched the hobgoblins. There were 4 males and 4 females; I think they will not feel alone when they grow up. When I was deciding whether to put names back Vana with a pick and without saying anything I attack the wall with great force.
After a few minutes, Vana had dug more than 3 meters into the passageway. When I asked Lara about it, she told me that it is an ethnic specialty of the dwarves and only those of mining profession inherit it. When Lara finished answering my questions, Vana returned with several rocks in her hand.
After several minutes of mining explanation from Vana, I understood that this mine is of great quality. Although according to his estimations the deposit is of small size and after half a year it will be empty.
After the explanations we left the tunnel to find that the girls were awake talking with the wolf-skin.
Girl 1: "Thanks for saving us. We are grateful. "
"Okay, the first thing is to get out of here. We are going to burn the bodies and the smoke could be fatal for everyone. "
I asked the wolf-skin guys to take the loot out of the big hut and ask for help from the outside dwarves. The two wolf-skins go in front and behind girls rescued with Vana and Lara.
Meanwhile I picked up the mound of coins. There were 9 gold coins 6732 silver and 2390 copper. They were so many that my bag was full. I'll have to empty it soon.
I returned to the altar and filled it with firewood, when there was no one in this cave I lit it with the torch.
[You have destroyed an altar of chaos]
[You have obtained +5 friendships with god Proge]
[You have cleared the temporary dungeon: goblin's lair] (Grade B)
[Your luck and charm increases by 1]
[You have obtained the treasure of chaos "proliferation"]
[You have obtained the property rights of the silver mine (small)]
* Territory function is activated *
[As it lacks noble identity, it only obtains exploitation rights]
[As a merchant you can claim this mine as a collection point for your company, you can decide whether to sell it or exploit it]
[To claim the place as a collection post, place the banner at the entrance of the cave]
Now I am very happy with this system. I have won many good things, but I will review it when I get out of here. The cave was filling with smoke. Leaving the corridor I also set fire to the human bodies and goblins, before leaving this place.
When I came out of the hole in the big hut, there was no one waiting for me. Everyone had started to move the booty out of the cave.
When I approached the pile of weapons and armor, to my surprise there were many in good condition and also of good quality. Although I was thinking about abandoning them at the beginning, I changed my mind and started to separate them.
The boys left me 3 large boxes that were almost empty, and I started to place the equipment inside. I put everything in, no matter what it was and I just left out the gray, broken and rusty equipment.
Within minutes, a lot of smoke and the smell of cooked meat came out of the hole. By then there was nothing left in the big hut. We left the town without looking for anything in the other huts, but we also set everything on fire. Without leaving anything except.
Since we could not stay here forever vigilant, the rubble will cover the entrance to the mine. It will also eliminate rotten meats and bad odor.
When we left the cave, they were waiting for us several meters away.
Anila received me with a huge smile, and everyone else was next to her. Behind them were the wagon and the 8 horses waiting for us. The new thing was the 8 girls rescued and the large amount of trunks, chest and boxes. I had no idea how we are going to move such big booty with a single carriage.
The magical city was a day by carriage and the nearest village a day and a half.
Before reviewing the booty, I went to talk to the girls.
"I'm Mark Walker, Nice to meet you. I'm glad I rescued them in time and they're healthy, if someone feels sick I can fix some remedy. "
Girl 1: "Thank you again, Mr. Walker. Our destiny would have been worse than hell if it had not appeared to save us. On behalf of all of us, thank you very much. "
"Very well, tell me where they come from. Maybe I can help them come back. "
Girl 1: "That is no longer possible. We were all soldiers of a caravan of merchants who passed by here. It was a large group of 30 vehicles with 80 guards and 120 civilians, but we were ambushed at night by 500 goblins. We could not stop them and they killed all the men and captured the women. Now we have nowhere to go. "
"Are you all soldiers? If you do not have anywhere to go, you can come with me, I am a merchant, and as you can see, I lack workers. I'll hire them just tell me your requirements. "
They came together and began to talk among themselves, and soon their representative came to me.
Girl 1: "We are grateful for your offer; any other merchant would have enslaved us or worse. For this reason and for saving our lives we will work for you. The salary of a soldier is 30 silver coins per month and he has to give us equipment and daily necessities. I hope you accept our proposal. We will be with you instead until the contract is terminated. "
"I will gladly accept your terms and I promise you that if I can increase your salary I will do it without any doubt."
After coordinating some minor details, we proceeded to complete the contract. Then the eight girls shed blood drops and then me. Before fixing, check their names and I was surprised to see that they all had names of flowers (Rose, Poppy, Iris, Dahlia, Jazmin, Sunflower, Daisy and Carnation).
[You have hired 8 soldiers]
[The guild option "Army" is activated]
[The "Loyalty" follower attribute is activated]
Seeing the attribute of the leader Rose did not understand how they were defeated, perhaps we were lucky enough to fight against the remains of the goblin army.
------------------------
Name: Rose (Human) Age 24 (100)
[Identity: Combatant]
Class: Soldier
Strength: 30 Stamina: 30
Intellect: 20 Wisdom: 20
Agility: 30 Charm: 10
Luck: 10 Loyalty: 95
------------------
When I checked the attributes of the other girls, they all had the same. Only his age varied for a few years. As I found it strange I asked them.
"Rose, because they all have the same attributes"
Rose: "To win attributes we have to fight like an army. It only increases when we all have the same level of attributes and passed through the same training. Our class can fight with any weapon and uses magic of temporary physical reinforcement, but we are not specialized in anything. "
"I understand what you mean, they are good at everything but masters at all. I hope you act as a leader and represent the other girls, if you need something just let me know. "
After talking to the soldier girls, I did not know what to do with all this loot. Anila touched my shoulder.
Anila: "Teacher. If the girls were ambushed near here, there may be traces of carts and some loose horses. We do not lose anything looking. "
"You're right. We will search and hopefully find some healthy. We'll camp here, and get the horses ready. "
We set up the camp far from the cave and moved all the loot. Lara prepared the food while we prepared the tents.
After eating I had to decide who would go with me. We only had 8 horses and someone had to stay to watch.
The four guys were my first choice, and then there was Rose who knew the address. There were two places left, so I took Lara who could help us explore and Poppy who said he knew something about cabinetmaking. As I left Anila in charge again, she looked at me furiously. I could only promise to take her next time.
It was still afternoon and I wanted to go back before dark. That is why we demand that the horses run as much as they can, and in half an hour we had reached the place of the ambush.
When we arrived there was a lot of blood and body parts scattered all over the place. Some immense birds called Vitros were devouring the abandoned bodies.
Because they were too much and I did not want to waste time, we ignored them and they ignored us.
We approached carefully the carriages and carts, there were five carriages, seven wagons and sixteen carts but many were destroyed.
I sent the guys to check for danger, but they found nothing. We approached with Poppy and Rose to check which ones could be saved. Meanwhile I told Lara and the wolf-skin to look around for survivors and horses, and for the dwarves to stand guard.
While he was letting Rosa and Poppy work, he searched inside a broken carriage for some valuable item. There was nothing to the naked eye but looking in the seat, the cushion seemed hollow. I took out my sword and cutting to the side, the seat opened. Inside was a thick book, a small bag, a golden key and a jade seal.
Reviewing the book, this was the records of a merchant. While the bag contained 20 different gems.
As for the golden key and the jade seal, they did not have any special details and the system did not help me find out either.
I went to look for the carts on the side but there was only garbage and rotten meat.
When I had to keep looking, Lara returned and the wolf-skin with 11 horses. One was of uncommon quality and the others normal. I asked the wolf-skin to keep guard with the dwarves and only with Lara we kept searching.
After 15 minutes there were no more than 40 gold coins lit in two other carriages.
When I returned with Rose and Poppy, they had been able to save 1 carriage (small), 3 wagons (medium) and 7 (small) wagons although they were not in good condition, we could get to the magic city with these.
This system does not want me at all.
We spent almost an hour returning, and on the way we found a small caravan of 20 people passing through the place.
[Your fame has decreased by 5]
Those people must think that we have looted the battle change that damned. They must be envious of not being them.
When we arrived at the camp Anila had been waiting for us worried, apparently they saw the other caravan go by and they wanted to approach the booty.
But since they had the same number of guards, they resigned themselves and left.
Thinking of a way to hide the booty of unscrupulous glances, we surrounded the camp with all the carts. With this it will be easier to defend.
Counting in total there are 13 trunks (1 large, 9 medium and 3 small), 6 chests (3 medium, 3 small) and 22 boxes (3 large, 11 medium, 8 small).
There were so many things that I did not even want to review it. So I asked all the girls for help, as the soldiers have 95 of loyalty they would not steal anything.
We start with the chests that are the ones that contain valuable things. But I never think that to open the first chest, my life would totally change.
