Tome of Blood

Chapter 173 -23- Are you from Castel?

"Enough! If you want to go to the inner mining area to find the legendary dragon, you can discuss it with me when you can afford the mine cart!"

The old werewolf Logan gave Noah a hard look.

"Move and move!"

The werewolf Xiao Zhengtai looked dissatisfied, came to the side of the mine car, rolled up his sleeves and squatted down.

However, he was too small to even hug one side of the cart, let alone lift it up.

Even if he exerted all his strength, his little face turned red from holding back, while the mine cart remained motionless.

Even because of too much force, he even staggered and fell out, and fell to the ground with an ouch, which caused the other miners who had already arrived in the cave to laugh.

"Hahaha...Little Noah, wait until you grow up and try again!"

"Don't bother, with his small body, I'm afraid he won't be able to move it when he grows up..."

"Oh, Noah, you can't do it, you really can't..."

"Okay, give Noah some face, he's still looking for a wife!"

"Hahaha……"

The miners laughed for a while, and then quickly fell silent until Old Logan gave them a hard look.

"Hmph, brat!"

Old Logan grinned, no longer entangled with the werewolf Xiaozheng, but led the large army to go deeper into the mine.

Noah sat next to the mine cart, sulking all by himself.

Charlotte and Sebastian looked at each other and nodded secretly.

After getting the cue, Sebas took a step forward, came to the side of the little werewolf, and asked with a smile:

"Noah, have you ever seen a dragon in the mine?"

When the topic of dragons was mentioned, the little werewolf immediately became energetic.

However, before he could answer, there were laughter from other demi-human miners around:

"Haha, he has seen the dragon in the mine? If he really saw the dragon, can he come back alive?"

"Hey hey... that's not necessarily the case. I didn't hear little Noah say that the monster in the mine... oh, no, it's a dragon, and the dragon doesn't eat people!"

"Eh? Really? Where are the missing miners?"

"Who knows, maybe it was left by the monsters deep in the mine to mine!"

"Hahaha! Shouldn't they be paid? The dragons are very rich, so they should be paid more than the Castel family, right?"

The miners chattered, apparently not thinking that the monster deep in the mine was really a dragon.

Of course, although they always made jokes about the depths of the mine, they subconsciously lowered their voices whenever they mentioned monsters. Obviously, they were also full of fear of the monster legends deep in the mine.

In Charlotte's view, the miner's teasing of the little werewolf was not only for fun, but also to divert his fear of the depths of the mine.

Charlotte saw that although there were rumors that the monster in the mine was a dragon, not all miners believed it.

Still, the little werewolf is clearly convinced.

In addition to him, although the old werewolf Logan avoided the important ones, judging from the information that the other party had confided to Luf, the old Logan probably believed that there really was a dragon deep in the mine.

However, the difference between him and Noah is that Noah thinks that the dragons deep in the mine don't eat people, while Logan obviously thinks that the things inside are dangerous.

Obviously, Noah and the old werewolf must know something, or see something.

Noah glared at the demihumans who laughed at him, but what he got in exchange was even greater ridicule from the demihumans.

It wasn't until Sebastian glanced at them with a smile under Charlotte's signal, and released his breath slightly, that the group of demi-human miners shut their mouths instantly, turned around and started digging obediently.

"Entering...entering the extraordinary..."

A miner's eyes widened and he almost lost his voice, but was quickly covered by his companions:

"Shut up, bow your head and mine!"

After all, almost all the miners lowered their heads, staring at each other.

Working in the Castel Silver Mine all the year round, it is quite normal to occasionally see some transcendent beings who do not know the heights of the sky and the depths sneaking in, but even if they are just entering the ranks, they are not something miners like them can afford.

One more thing is worse than one less thing. At this time, it is the best way to survive for these low-level alien miners who don't even bother to take a look at the mine supervisor.

Not only that, perhaps because of the pressure of being with such a mysterious person, the demi-human miners subconsciously began to stay away from here, and soon hid far away, never daring to approach again.

A few others wanted to take Noah along with them, but after glancing at Sebas in the middle, they finally lowered their heads silently, and followed the others away quickly.

After a while, there were only a few people in Charlotte left in this mining area.

"Extraordinary? Are you an advanced extraordinary?!"

Noah also widened his eyes.

However, he quickly reacted, and his expression was instantly full of vigilance:

"You...you didn't come here for mining! You lied to Grandpa Logan!"

After all, the little werewolf suddenly stood up, and was about to chase after Logan and the others who had gone far away, but was stopped by Lu Fu soon:

"Noah, calm down, we are not bad people."

"Uncle Luf..."

Noah stared at Lu Fu blankly, his eyes widened, his expression full of complexity:

"Are... are you with them too? Are you deceiving us too?"

Luf sighed:

"Noah, although I brought them here, I sincerely intend to become friends with everyone in the mining area. You should have met my people. We sincerely intend to settle in Castel."

"Then...he..."

Noah looked at Sebastian warily.

Luf was silent for a moment, and said:

"He is my benefactor and my friend, and he has no malice."

Luf's words did not dispel the little werewolf's suspicion, he still looked at Charlotte and the others vigilantly:

"Who are you? Mercenaries? Or bounty hunters? What is your purpose?"

Charlotte glanced at Sebastian again, and Sebastian understood immediately.

I saw him take a step forward, saluted Noah slightly, and said gracefully:

"Your Excellency Noah, let me re-introduce myself. I'm Basser, and I'm an extraordinary person hired by the Castel family to investigate the disappearance of miners in the silver mine."

"The Castel family? Wait... is that the legendary Castel family? The owner of the mining workshop?! A wealthy nobleman?!"

Noah's eyes widened.

But soon, he frowned again, still full of vigilance:

"How can I believe what you said? The Castel family has never asked about the disappearance of the miners. Why did they suddenly send investigators now?"

"Not to mention, if you are really extraordinary members of the Castel family, why did you sneak in?"

"Of course it's because we don't trust the aristocrats in charge of the Castel Mining Workshop. As for why we are suddenly investigating now, I think you should have heard about it. Naturally, it is because of the order of the Earl who has just returned from the family."

Sebastian said plausibly.

Hearing Sebastian's words, the little werewolf's eyes widened even further.

Obviously, for such a young child, Sebastian's answer was full of too much shock:

"Master Earl... Could it be that you are talking about the legendary saint of the Holy Court, the daughter of God Lord Harald?"

Charlotte: ...?

What the hell are these rumors all about?

Sebastian couldn't help but glanced at Charlotte, and smiled slightly at Noah:

"My lord earl is indeed very holy, but...the so-called talk about the saintess of the holy royal court is just a rumor."

Noah looked at Lu Fu again, and Lu Fu nodded, and said in a deep voice:

"Noah, I dare to swear to the great blood totem, he is indeed a member of the Castel family, and he is indeed someone sent by Earl Castel."

Noah was silent.

Perhaps some older demihumans who have experienced many vicissitudes are much more vigilant and have a harder time gaining trust.

But for a young werewolf child, this conversation has given him some confidence in Sebastian's words.

"I know that the nobles in charge of the mining workshop have a keepsake similar to the Black Eagle badge, which seems to be the symbol of the Castel family. It is said that each one is magical equipment, which is priceless..."

"If you are really from the Castel family, do you have a token?"

He continued to probe.

However, even though he said that, his tone has softened a lot.

Blackhawk badge?

The magic equipment that can be positioned by the Castel family?

Sebas's heart moved slightly.

He looked at Charlotte, and Charlotte smiled slightly, and took out a large number of Black Eagle badges from his arms:

"Is it this one?"

Seeing a large number of badges in the girl's hand, Noah's eyes widened:

"A letter... a keepsake! It's really the kind of keepsake in the steward's hand!"

"But...but why are there so many? Did you steal Castel's warehouse!"

"No, wait... Leisa, you are also an investigator hired by the Castel family?"

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"That's right, I'm also here to investigate the truth about the mine. I have a good relationship with Earl Castel. She gave me these things. If you can help us, I can give you one."

Noah: ...

"Who knows if it's true or not."

Looking at those shiny badges, he swallowed hard and said in a low voice.

However, now that things have come to an end, he has already believed most of it in his heart.

After all, there is no need for an advanced transcendent to deceive a weak little werewolf.

If he really wanted to get some news from him, even if he didn't want to say it, the Transcendent still had ways to make him speak.

"Come with me, there are many people here, I will tell you what you want to know."

Noah looked around and said.

Charlotte and the others followed Noah to a corner of the cave, and Noah sat down against the cave wall:

"I can tell you everything I know, but... I also have a condition."

Sebas smiled and said:

"Please say."

Noah looked firm:

"If you want to go into the mine to find the dragon, please take me with you."

Sebastian did not directly agree to Noah's request, but instead asked:

"Why are you so obsessed with the legendary dragon in the mine?"

Noah was silent for a moment and said:

"Because I want to ask it, how did my brother go crazy, where did my brother go, and I want to know what my brother did back then, I don't believe he would be so bold as to steal mithril slag... "

"Your brother?"

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

"Yes, my brother used to be a miner in the mining area, but...he has disappeared, and was charged with stealing mithril slag by the workshop, which caused all the demi-human miners to be whipped, which also made my brother's reputation Completely ruined among the people."

The little werewolf's ears drooped, and he pursed his lips.

Stealing mithril slag?

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

She remembered the story of the missing miners that the old werewolf told by Louf.

Unexpectedly, the protagonist turned out to be Noah's brother.

She sighed:

"Congratulations..."

"No, it's all right, I'm all right, I've already seen it, but... I want to find out what he went through, I know my brother's character, he has always been upright, I don't believe he would do that kind of stealing Perhaps only the giant dragon can tell me the truth, which is also the purpose of my work in the mine."

Noah took a deep breath and said firmly.

"So... have you ever actually seen a dragon in the mines?"

Sebastian asked with interest.

However, this time Noah shook his head:

"No, I haven't seen it."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head again and said seriously:

"However, my elder brother has seen it. Not only that...my elder brother and it are still friends. In the past...my elder brother often told me stories between them."

"It was in the mine that they met, and it was in the mine that they formed a friendship."

"My brother didn't tell anyone about this, because he was worried that a mercenary group would come to trouble the dragon. In the past few years, my brother has always been the most famous miner in the mine, and he can mine a lot of gold every time. Mithril ore, it is behind the scenes to help."

Good guy, there is really a dragon in the mine?

Charlotte and Sebastian couldn't help but look at each other, seeing a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

Being able to become friends with humanoids and living deep in the Mithril vein, could it be...a golden dragon?

Before coming here, Charlotte had made indirect remarks. In the world of Myria, if there is any kind of dragon that likes to eat precious metals the most, then... it must be the golden dragon!

Not only that, this kind-hearted metal dragon is indeed very likely to become friends with humanoids.

"So... was Castel's mithril vein really eaten up by a giant dragon?"

Sebas asked.

Charlotte pricked up her ears too.

However, Noah frowned:

"Mythril mine?"

"No... Although there are all kinds of rumors in the mine, my brother once said that the giant dragon eats meat, not ore. My brother used to secretly bring food to it! The matter of the Mithril mine, and Dragons shouldn't matter too much."

Noah shook his head in denial.

"Meat eaters?"

Charlotte was taken aback.

Jinlong... doesn't eat much meat.

"Yes."

Noah nodded:

"My brother said that it was a black dragon, a real black dragon!"
