544 Greed
The next day, Huanhuan and Murphy returned to the residence of the gnomes.
As soon as Elman heard that Huanhuan was here, he immediately took the initiative to welcome her.
He was especially enthusiastic today. “Madam Huanhuan, you’re finally here! Please sit inside!”
As Huanhuan walked, she asked, “How are the five patients?”!!
“We followed your instructions and guarded them all night. Their temperatures have returned to normal today, and they’ve woken up.”
Huanhuan nodded. “That’s good. Take me to see them.”
“Okay, please come this way.”
Huanhuan followed him into a spacious and clean cave. The five injured people had already sat up. When they saw Huanhuan and knew that this girl was their savior, they stood up and bowed.
Huanhuan waved her hand. “Don’t move. Be careful not to tear the wound.”
The five injured people looked at her with gratitude and respect.
Shamans were a very mysterious and noble profession on this continent. Even cunning and greedy gnomes were in awe of shamans.
Huanhuan examined their wounds and confirmed that they were healing well. She left them some medicine and told them how to change their dressing as well as what they usually needed to pay attention to.
The gnomes noted everything down.
After dealing with the injured, Huanhuan took out an intermediate contract scroll and said to Irwin, “This is our deal. Take a look for yourself. If you’re sure there’s no problem, put your thumbprint on it.”
It was the first time Irwin had seen the contract scroll. He saw the words inside. They were unfamiliar words that he couldn’t understand, but strangely, he could understand them.
As expected of a shaman. Anything she took out was so magical.
Elman’s reverence grew. Without another word, he pressed his thumbprint on the contract scroll.
As he was the leader of the gnomes, he had the right to represent them.
This thumbprint was equivalent to representing the entire gnome tribe forming a contract with Huanhuan.
Huanhuan put away the scroll. “There’s a confidentiality agreement in the contract. You can’t leak any information about the work. Otherwise, you’ll be breaking the contract and will suffer a backlash to your soul.”
Elman nodded. “I know.”
“Good. Come with us. I’ll show you where you’ll work.”
…
Huanhuan and Murphy led Elman back to the place where they had found the gold mine. The huge pit they had made with explosives was still there.
The three of them slid to the bottom of the pit. Murphy used a hoe to dig through the soil, revealing the gold underground.
At the sight of it, Elman’s expression changed.
“This is a gold mine?”
He was so nervous that his voice was hoarse.
Huanhuan replied, “Yes, this is the gold mine we discovered. Your future job is to help me mine the gold mine.”
Elman couldn’t help but swallow. His eyes were shining as he looked at fine gold.
This was a real gold mine!
If the gnomes could own this gold mine, it meant that they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the next few hundred years!
But as soon as this thought appeared, he remembered the contract he had signed with Huanhuan.
He could not be greedy for the mineral vein and leak the news of the mineral vein.
If they broke the contract, the entire gnome tribe would suffer backlash to their souls.
Money was tempting, but if they lost their lives, what was the use of having so much money?!
Elman quickly calmed down. Even though he found it regretful, he understood why Huanhuan and Murphy had refused to reveal the work details beforehand.
If it were him, he would definitely not be at ease about revealing such important information.
Huanhuan asked, “Do you know how to mine?”
Elman was very confident about this. “Don’t worry. We’ve helped the giants mine in the past. This is our old profession. There’s definitely no problem.”
Knowing that they were very experienced in the work, Huanhuan was even more satisfied. “Do your best. You’ll get a lot of benefits.”
That afternoon, the gnomes officially began to mine the gold mine under the leadership of their leader, Elman.
Just as Elman had said, the gnomes were quite familiar with mining. They methodically opened the mine and dug out the gold mines. One by one, they transported the gold mines out of the mine.
Huanhuan deliberately showed her strength to them.
In front of the gnomes, she waved her right hand and put all the gold mines into her space.
The gnomes did not know about the existence of interspatial rings. When they saw that so many gold mines had suddenly disappeared, they felt that it was extremely magical. They looked at Huanhuan with even more admiration.
The five seriously injured gnomes were getting better every day. They would be able to walk soon.
With Huanhuan’s medical skills affirmed, no one doubted her identity as a shaman anymore. They obeyed her requests and did not dare to play tricks.
Seeing that the mining matter was on track, Huanhuan went to talk to Elman.
“I’m going back to Swan Valley. Help me keep an eye on the mine for the next few days.”
Elman patted his chest and promised, “No problem!”
Huanhuan and Murphy traveled for two days and returned to Swan Valley.
Huanhuan took the fine gold out of her space and said to Mark, “This is the fine gold you asked for. Is it enough?”
Mark’s eyes lit up as he looked at the pile of fine gold in front of him. “It’s enough! It’s definitely enough!”
After a while, he recovered from his excitement and asked curiously, “Where did you get so much fine gold? Did you really find a gold mine?”
Huanhuan smiled slyly. “If I say that I really found a gold mine, will you believe me?”
Mark’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You—”
Seeing that he really believed her, Huanhuan burst out laughing. “How can a gold mine be so easy to find? We exchanged the fine gold for crystals from other places. That’s all we have now. I can’t exchange it for more.”
Hearing this, Mark’s hanging heart immediately fell back to its original place. At the same time, he was a little disappointed.
He muttered softly, “I knew it. How can a gold mine be so easy to find? It’s only normal that you can’t find it.”
Huanhuan changed the topic from the gold mine to the manufacturing of cannons and ships.
At the mention of work, Mark perked up and talked a lot. He carefully reported what he had been doing.
After Huanhuan heard his report, she praised his work and hoped that everyone would continue to work hard.
The news that Mark had obtained a large amount of fine gold spread like wildfire and reached Arso’s ears.
Arso immediately went to the door himself. When he saw the mountain of fine gold in Mark’s material storage room, greed surged within him uncontrollably.
He asked where this batch of fine gold came from.
Mark trusted the old tribe leader very much and told the truth without hiding anything.
Knowing that this batch of fine gold came from Huanhuan, a bold thought immediately arose in Arso’s mind.
