Chapter 684 685. Rejection
In the lobby of the Plateau City City Hall, the three leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Guard Corps were waiting in the rest area with depressed expressions.
All the civil servants in the city hall are mixed elves. This matter made them complain in private for a long time...
Now the three of them came to visit Luo from the mine guard group. Captain Yi, the front desk made them sit in the rest area and wait for a while, which made them even more dissatisfied.
"What does Captain Roy mean? He is obviously at the same level as us, but he is still putting on airs with us. No wonder the Silver Moon elves in the Royal City of Buenos who denounced him almost filled the whole music room Square!”
Captain Talista said sarcastically impatiently.
“Keep your voice down, if you don’t want us to become even more embarrassed, just endure it...at least don’t lose your temper here, because your bad temper will not only not be of any help to our trip, but will even It affects us." Captain Carlos patted his old friend on the shoulder and whispered.
He has known Talista for a long time, and he knows that his old friend has a bad temper and is a proud Silver Moon Elf noble.
“Why do you have to keep your voice down? There’s nothing you can’t say!”
Leader Talista stared and said bluntly.
The three Silver Moon Elf leaders waited in the rest area for a while before being brought into a living room by a mixed elf adjutant. Roy was waiting in the living room and saw the three Silver Moon Elf leaders coming from outside. Walk in and immediately smile politely.
Roy heard from Mu Lin that as early as a year ago, the 17th Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters sent three leaders of the Elf Guard Group to develop the silver mines in the Kaltim Mountains. .
The three leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group learned from the last failure, and they brought over three Silver Moon Elf Guard Groups to take charge of the safety of the mine.
As for the miners, they did not hire mixed-blood elves from the local area. Instead, they transferred nearly two thousand gray dwarf prisoners of war from the Parlam Island Prison. The Silver Moon Elf leaders arranged them in the mine. A large number of elven overseers followed the gray dwarf prisoners of war with shackled feet into the mine tunnels. They first cleaned up the collapsed mine tunnels, and then continued to mine silver ore along the veins.
This time the Silver Moon Elf leaders did not hire a mixed-blood elf. I heard that the three silver mines in the Kaldeum Mountains were developing very smoothly.
However, since there is no mixed-blood elf miner in the three mines, Mulin does not know what the situation is in the mines...
I heard that the profits of the three mines are still very good. The magic metal ingots continuously smelted from the three mines are often transported to Padstow City on the magic airship of the mine guard group.
"You three, you came to the city hall so early, what do you need me to do for you?" Roy asked tentatively while making tea for the three of them.
The leaders of the Silver Moon elves made an awkward smile at the same time...
"Captain Roy, we came to you this time because we want to talk to you about the Kaldeum Mine. Something!" Captain Carlos forced out an unnatural smile and said to Roy.
"Please continue..."
Roy made a gesture to Captain Carlos.
“We operate three silver mines in the Castim Mountains of the Pagisto Plateau. After more than a year of operation, the three silver mines are now in normal operation and have also To achieve profitability, but after all, we are not very good at running a mine, so after some struggle, the three of us unanimously decided that professional matters should be left to professional elves..." Carlos Group Chang said very tactfully.
“So we rushed to the plateau city from the Castletown Mountains, hoping that Captain Roy could acquire these three sites and allow the three silver mines to continue to operate normally.”
"As for us... we can return to the Queen Egwene Islands, because the gray dwarf fleet has recently appeared again in the outer waters of the Queen Egwene Islands." Captain Carlos said to Roy very sincerely.
"Captain Roy, we are giving you three silver mines, so we hope that the income from the mines can be divided into three parts in the future. First of all, the income of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is whatever It cannot be changed in any way. I think we can share the remaining half of the income equally. After all, we invested a lot of manpower and material resources in restoring the abandoned mine to normal operation in the early stage..."
Captain Carlos said eloquently. He talked a lot, and Roy listened very carefully.
Until Captain Carlos finished speaking, Roy smiled and nodded at him and said:
"This is indeed a very interesting proposal. Two years ago, under your strong support, Upon request, I gave up the three silver mines in the Kaltim Mountains and handed them over to you to operate. After two years, the three mines can operate normally. You will return the mines to me, but ask me Two and a half percent dividend..."
"I have to say, this proposal is very good..."
When Roy said this, his words suddenly stopped:
"...but at present, my mine guard group is The scale is limited and there are not so many manpower to manage so many mines. The three of you may also know that I have just returned from Golfito and I don’t know much about the situation on the Pagisto Plateau.”
“ Next, I have to restore the normal operation of more than a dozen mines, large and small, in the Nicobar Mountains, so I have no ability to take over the silver mines in the hands of the three."
"Since the three mines are in the hands of the three. The silver mine has become profitable. I believe that there must be many captains of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion who are interested in this. It would be better for the three of them to ask the military to arrange for some more people to come over."
After Roy said this, he stopped talking...
When the three Silver Moon Elf leaders heard what Roy said, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The three of them did not expect that Roy would not take over the three silver mines.
In fact, although these three mines are currently profitable, this is also based on the fact that the miners are all free gray dwarf prisoners of war, and operating the mines is too strenuous. They have to send some Silver Moon every day. The elven warriors got into the mines as supervisors, and the Silver Moon elven guard warriors were very dissatisfied with this.
These Silver Moon Elf warriors have protested countless times in the past six months.
The three group leaders also wanted to hand over the silver mine while Roy was around, and then retreat.
They thought that Roy would be happy to hear them say, "give up the silver mines." After all, the mines dug out were all silver ore and associated ores, and the smelting into silver ingots was also very valuable. ...
But unexpectedly, Roy declined politely.
Waiting for the three Silver Moon Elf leaders to leave the living room with disappointed expressions, Roy thought for a while and then said to the adjutant guarding the door:
“Go and get Mu Lin. Please come!”
The adjutant quickly agreed and turned towards a room on the opposite side of the corridor.
Roy took out a quill pen from the inkwell, and began to write an announcement seriously on a large piece of parchment on the table.
