"Yes, they're from the Scarlet Horns."
"Scarlet Horns? They're one of the mercenary corps participating in this mission? " As soon as Lin Li heard the name Scarlet Horns, he immediately recalled what Hank had told him. Among the six major mercenary corps that came to the Fire Plume Ridge this time, there was a mercenary corps named Scarlet Horns.
"Yes …" Aragon hesitated.
Aragon was a little hesitant. To be honest, no matter how he looked at it, he should be on Lin Li's side. Lin Li had saved his life in Blackhills Town, and that alone was enough for him to repay. Furthermore, he was not on good terms with the Bloody Horns. Apart from meeting their leader a few times, he did not even know him.
But the problem was …
This matter concerned the cooperation between the six mercenary corps. It was not a big deal to get rid of these fellas, but it would affect the relationship between the two mercenary corps if word got out that it was a guest of the Silver Hand who killed them. It would not be a big deal if it was during normal times, since the Silver Hand would not be afraid of the Scarlet Horns given their strength.
But not now. Killing them at this time would put the Silver Hand in an awkward position. Although the six mercenary corps had taken on this task together, the relationship between them was far from monolithic. Driven by huge interests, all kinds of intrigue and intrigue were even more serious than before.
"I understand," Lin Li replied. How could he not know the crux of the matter? He nodded at Aragon, and shouted at Sean from afar, "Sean, don't be too heavy-handed!"
"Yes, Mr Felic." Sean was indeed a monster. He could still find time to answer Lin Li while slashing with his double-edged sword.
"I thank you on behalf of Captain Serena." Aragon finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as no one was killed, everything would be fine. As for how heavy Sean was going to be, he could not care less.
In fact, even if Sean did not deal a heavy blow, he had intended to teach Sandro a lesson. This guy was too blind. He even dared to offend the distinguished guest of the Silver Hand. Did he really think that the Silver Hand was afraid of him?
While Aragon was thinking about how he should talk to the captain of the Scarlet Horns about this, he shifted his gaze from Sandro to the pile of rocks on the ground …
Then his expression froze.
This pile of rocks looked very ordinary. Apart from a trace of dark red, there was nothing special about it. If an ordinary person saw it, they would most likely think that it was just a pile of ordinary rocks.
But Aragon was different. His father was an old miner who had been mining for decades. Before joining the Silver Hand, he had also been mining for a period of time. Most low-level adventurers were like this. In addition to hunting magical beasts, they would also engage in some part-time jobs. For example, Sean and his son used to be a part-time herbalist. This was the only way they could exchange for enough money to upgrade their equipment.
Aragon had not been mining for a long time. He had only been mining for less than half a year before he was recruited by the Silver Hand. With his little knowledge of minerals, he could not tell what kind of ore this pile was for the time being.
However, there was one thing that Aragon was sure of. The seemingly messy pile of ores on the ground was definitely some kind of magical metal!
"Oh my God …" Aragon's face turned pale. He looked at Lin Li in disbelief.
It was not easy to meet a miner who could mine magical metals. Not only did it require profound knowledge of minerals, but it also required sufficient knowledge of magic. Magical metals were very fragile, and a small mistake could cause the whole vein to be destroyed. A miner who could do this must have reached a high-level level …
Aragon would never have thought that this seemingly level 5 Warrior would actually be a Senior Miner!
"Mr Felic, did you mine all these ores?" Aragon suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry.
Lin Li smiled. He knew what Aragon wanted to know, but there was nothing to hide. Lin Li nodded his head honestly. "Yes …"
Aragon was completely stunned …
He looked at Lin Li, and then at Sean. He secretly made up his mind that he would tell Captain Serena about this when he returned …
This was a high-level miner. It was not easy to meet one!
At this time, the battle on the other side had also ended.
Sean's sword knocked away Sandro's weapon, and the double-edged sword stopped steadily on Sandro's neck. This was only because Lin Li had reminded him not to be too heavy-handed. If he had used a little more force, Sandro's head would have been chopped off.
"Aragon, I'll leave this fella to you." Lin Li smiled, and pointed at the two unconscious archers on the ground. "And these two fellas, bring them back as well."
"Thank you, Mr Felic." Aragon's attitude towards Lin Li was much more cautious than before. After thanking Lin Li respectfully, he called a few of his subordinates over. "Tie them up and send them back to the camp. Let the leader of the Bloody Horns come and get them himself."
"Yes!" The archers took out ropes from their backpacks, and tied the three men up.
"Mr. Felic, I'll head back to the camp first. Don't worry, these guys will definitely be taught a good lesson, I promise!" Aragon bade farewell to Lin Li after seeing that his men had tied the three of them up.
"Goodbye. As for these fellas, just teach them a lesson. I didn't suffer any losses anyway."
"Goodbye."
Sandro was a level-10 warrior, but he was tied up like a dumpling. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free from the ropes that were as thick as a thumb. As he walked, Aragon became more and more depressed as he thought about it. He slapped Sandro's head. "How dare you provoke the VIP of the Silver Hand. You must be tired of living. I'll get your leader to teach you a lesson when we get back …"
"…" Lin Li could not help but smile helplessly when he saw this scene from afar. He did not intend to do anything to these fellas, but now that they had fallen into Aragon's hands, they were going to suffer.
After watching the group of people leave, Lin Li detonated another Air Bomb scroll to blow up the Abyss Fiendish Iron vein completely. Then, he opened the Ring of Endless Storm and stored all the ores in it.
After doing all this, Lin Li brought Sean to the cave marked on the map.
…
On the other hand, Aragon quickly returned to the Silver Hand's camp.
After entering the camp, Aragon handed the three captives to his men, and went straight to his leader's tent.
When Aragon entered, Hank was also inside, and seemed to be saying something to his leader.
"Captain Serena, do you have time?" If it was in the past, Aragon would definitely wait for Hank to finish his words, but this time, he didn't even want to wait for a second. As soon as he entered the tent, he interrupted Hank's words.
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, Captain Serena. There's something I have to tell you."
Aragon's tone was a little anxious, and Serena could not help but frown. She knew this subordinate of hers like the back of her hand. He had always been calm and collected. That night in Blackhills Town, he managed to sneak into the inn despite the dangerous situation. Why was he so anxious all of a sudden?
"Do you have someone you like?"
"…" Aragon could only feel a big drop of sweat on his forehead.
Sometimes, he really couldn't understand what this beautiful captain was thinking. She was well-organized and frighteningly shrewd when dealing with official business, but sometimes she would come up with some strange things, such as asking Thuzadin if he had eaten dinner and so on …
Aragon took a few deep breaths, and raised his voice. "It's about our two guests, Captain Serena!"
Upon hearing that it was about the two guests, Serena immediately stopped joking. "Did something happen to them?"
"They had a conflict with the people from the Scarlet Horns."
"The people from the Scarlet Horns? Humph, Brook is so bold that he even dares to touch the distinguished guest of our Silver Hand. Hank, you immediately call a few people to find Brook for me. "
"This …" Hank was a little hesitant. Serena might not know who those two people were, but how could Hank not know? The people from the Scarlet Horns were basically walking to their own deaths by provoking them. Why would they need the Silver Hand to help them?
"No, Captain Serena, listen to me …" Aragon panted a few times, and then told her what he had just seen in the Fire Plume Ridge.
"You're saying that Mr. Sean defeated Sandro?" Serena gasped, and her face was filled with shock. She knew who Sandro was. He was considered one of the core forces of the Bloody Horns. Even if she didn't bring her Gryphon, she would have to expend some effort to take him down.
But now, he was defeated by a Warrior that she had never even heard of …
"There's one more thing …" Aragon hesitated for a moment, and then said with uncertainty, "Captain Serena, I suspect that Mr. Felic is very likely to be an Advanced Miner."
"Are you kidding me!?" Serena was shocked. How could an Advanced Miner be so easily made up?
There were thousands of people in the Silver Hand, and at least one-third of them knew about minerals. Yet, none of them had reached the level of an Advanced Miner.
Indeed, that Mr. Felic did tell her in the afternoon that he planned to walk around the area and collect some ores and herbs, but it was not that ridiculous, was it? What did it mean to be an Advanced Miner? He could just show off his abilities, and there would be a lot of forces coming to recruit him. Serena knew that there was a big shot who cried and begged for all kinds of rare ores every day …
"Aragon, is what you said true?"
"I'm not too sure …" Aragon hesitated for a moment, and then put his hand into his pocket, and took out a dark red ore the size of a thumb. "I secretly brought this back. When I arrived, that Mr. Felic had already collected a lot of these ores. Captain Serena, you know many people. Why don't you get someone to identify this ore?"
"Alright, I'll get someone to take a look."
Among the three people in the tent, Hank was probably the calmest one.
After all, it was easy to train one's mental fortitude after interacting with people like Lin Li. That fella was born to be a monster that could constantly surprise people. After experiencing it a few times, one would gradually become numb to it. As long as it was something that happened to him, no matter how bizarre it was, it would not be difficult for people to understand.
