Chapter 376: Unexpected meeting

As the lord of the city of Portia, even with countless capable people, the complicated work is enough to keep him busy.

My daughter, who had gone out for a few years, came back. Even if Loki wanted to be close, in the end, except that Willa could take a moment to talk to her briefly, she could only meet at the table occasionally.

Without Clive and Rodney's support, Portia's situation is worse than expected.

Although due to the dangerous situation and the family's preparation, even if there is any misconception, there have been no major disturbances, but small-scale conflicts occur from time to time.

Today, Rocky intends to leave the city to inspect the family-owned mines.

The thousands of miles of mountains have brought too many benefits to the Portia family.

It can be said that the family can grow stronger than it is today, and it is inseparable from the resources in the mountains.

The huge benefits have enabled the Portia family to cultivate their own power with sufficient energy. Clive was able to be promoted step by step from a magic apprentice to a master-level powerhouse. In addition to his talents, the resources consumed were also amazing.

Today, Clive's life and death are unknown, and the Portia family can continue to be strong. Hope can only be placed in cultivating the next generation of strong men. Therefore, the meaning of the mine for them is more important than ever.

The lord went out of the city. Even if he only visited the surrounding mines, in order to ensure safety, the Portia family dispatched many strong men to protect them.

Another diamond leader led a team of platinum and gold guards to secure Rocky in the center.

Somewhere in the mine, Rocky held a ore and carefully looked at it with the help of the sun's light. For a long time, his face showed a fairly satisfied smile.

"Quality is pretty good."

"Return to the owner, this mine is newly opened and has not been mined before, so the quality is better than those of the old mines."

Rocky nodded.

After the loss of Master Clive, the family increased the development of the mine, and now the results are gradually showing, it is expected.

but……

Looking back at the half-full warehouse, the smile on Rocky's face faded.

The development of the new mine can indeed accelerate the speed of the Posia family and perhaps the ore, but unfortunately, even if the workers have done their best, the speed still cannot satisfy Rocky.

The Portia family needs a lot of money and resources to pile Vera into the realm of masters in the shortest time.

Although before meeting with Willa, Rocky's voice made Vera need not worry, just practice, but in fact, he also understood that the supply of resources may be problematic.

Fortunately, Vera's practice is relatively low today, and the daily consumption of resources due to cultivation is still relatively small. Rocky still has enough time to find a way to solve this problem.

Thinking of this, Rocky's frown frowned slightly, then put down the ore in his forehead, and asked the manager of the mine, "Is there a way to double the output of ore?"

The person in charge of the mine heard that his face was clearly embarrassed. But the lord's question had to be answered, so after hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.

"There is no way."

Rocky heard his brow jump.

He has been in charge of Portia for so many years, and he is no longer a young man.

For every expense and gain that Portia led, he had already realized what he knew.

Especially the mine, because it is the family's most important resource, Rocky not only came to inspect three days and two ends, but also made all the links transparent.

Perhaps he can't be like the manager in front of him, and can name every worker in the mine, but he knows well in all aspects of production.

Because of this, he had no hope in his previous problems, because he knew that both the manager and the workers who lived on the mine had already exerted twelve points of strength, and maybe they could use everything. Other methods have slightly improved their work efficiency, but it is simply unrealistic to achieve qualitative changes.

But now, the manager who has been tarnished by the sun because of working in the mine all year round actually has a way to complete his seemingly unrealistic problem.

"Tell me."

Although Rocky's tone remained calm, there was a touch of excitement in her heart.

But soon, his excitement was mostly wiped out by the other party's words.

"Buy slaves lavishly and replace them with ordinary workers."

Rocky heard it, and her heart was convex.

Will slaves be more efficient than ordinary workers in terms of personal productivity alone?

The opposite is true.

Except for a few special cases, slaves are far less efficient than ordinary workers.

The reason lies in the enthusiasm of the work.

If you think about it, you can understand that how can slaves who are driven to work by leather whip can be compared with workers who are responsible for supporting their families?

No matter how much benefit the former produces, it has nothing to do with them.

Because they are the property of others, they have better luck. When they meet a relatively kind host, they may slightly improve their meals because of their outstanding performance, but that's all.

In fact, most slaves, apart from working hard because of the fear of the leather whip at the beginning, will lose a lot of work efficiency when they gradually become numb.

But workers are different. As long as they pay a joint price, they have the manpower and motivation to work.

In this case, the manager will propose a method of replacing workers with slaves. If it is not a straw bag, there can only be one reason.

That is, he intends to use the number of people and human lives to pile up the output to achieve the desired effect.

"Homeowners, if slaves are used without consequences, the output of ore can be doubled or more in a short time, but ..."

Rocky raised his hand and interrupted the other party to continue.

In fact, none of the people present were stupid. Where should I say things so clearly.

"I'll think it over."

As lord, Rocky understood the significance of the ore to the family, and should not have been hesitant about using slaves.

But he also knew that once he nodded, perhaps every year, this stretch of mountain range would bury more than four figures or more slaves.

"I don't seem to be a qualified homeowner." Rocky smiled at himself.

After all, this continent is of perfect strength, and kindness is the privilege of the strong.

For the common aristocracy, who cares about the lives of the civilians as long as they can obtain benefits?

It is precisely because the nobles set up a slave arrest team in private to capture slaves.

The civilians were arrested by slaves, reduced to slaves, and then flowed to the mines of major families until death. These things look terrifying, but they are also common imaginations.

But for the Portia family, the powerful strength and resources kept them isolated from these rampant things, and now it is difficult for them to change their style rashly.

Moreover……

As soon as Rocky wanted to say something, the ground felt a shake. Then, the magician around him opened up the enchantment, and the guards entered the state of battle one by one.

When Rocky reacted, the magic light glowed again in the sky, and then a violent explosion occurred in the distant mine.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Don't panic!" Loki shouted loudly, and then began to command: "Send scouts, I'm going to see who it is, dare to cause trouble in Portia! The first team went to the accident mine, rescued the injured, and protected the ore ... "

Instructions were issued from Rocky's mouth, and the guards acted.

Soon, the news returned.

"Back to the housekeeper, a group of bandits were found a few miles to the east. They claimed to rob the mine!"

"A gangster?" Rocky was almost laughing.

That's right, because of the tense relationship between the empire and the surrounding countries, during this time, any cow, ghost, and snake gods came up and wanted fish in muddy waters.

The number of bandits is much higher than in the past, but those guys can only hit the idea of ​​passers-by in the wilderness at most. When have the courage to provoke the city?

And it is a powerful Percy collar.

If the bandits were not problematic in their minds, then obviously there was an unknown conspiracy in it.

Compared to the former, Loki was more willing to believe that this group of people was instructed.

What's more, the power they showed before has far exceeded the power possessed by normal bandits.

The mine can be knocked down by a single magic, and such strength has exceeded the ordinary platinum strong.

Such a guy doesn't look like he has a bad brain.

Almost instantly, Rocky thought of several hostile forces.

After Master Clive's accident, these forces have been holding the rich resources of Portia, and they have been testing the bottom line of the Portia family some time ago.

During the temptation, they received a counterattack from the Portia family. They were obviously a little angry and angry, and they actually sent people to disguise the bandits and destroy the mines in Portia's territory.

Thinking about this, Rocky felt a little relieved while being angry.

Although those guys were overdone, they still did not dare to tear their faces directly, but adopted this disgusting way. That is to say, they still had scruples about Portia's collar.

As long as they did not dare to act arrogantly, the means used were limited, and the Portia family handled it relatively easily.

Of course, this does not mean that Rocky will thank them.

Instead, Rocky intends to make these guys pay!

As long as all the minions reaching into Portia's territory are cut off, those stupid guys will not act lightly, otherwise, once Loki adopts a mild response, he will be regarded as a sign of weakness.

With the loss of the asylum of the two masters Clive and Rodney, any weak performance will lead to disaster.

"Kill them all, and then hang their heads over the gates of the city of Portia."

"Yes, Master."

Although the camouflage in the camouflage was not weak, the guards who followed Rocky still showed no worries.

In their opinion, the opponent is just a little trickier, and that's it.

The Diamond Strong still stays with Rocky to protect him. He has no intention of shooting. In contrast, a guard composed of three Platinum Strongs and many gold guards has set off in the direction indicated by the scout. The task that the owner of Wangcheng explained.

The appearance of the intruder was not even a small scene for Rocky who had seen many strong waves. Even if they had not yet been arrested, his attention had completely shifted from them until the scout came again. New message.

"Back to the housekeeper, a dozen caravans appeared, and they seemed to have been discovered by the intruders."

The city of Portia is rich in resources and countless caravans have come to do business. The appearance of a small caravan was not in the eyes of Rocky at all, but now, obviously, it is not the general situation.

As the lord of the Portia Territory, he had an obligation to ensure the safety of the merchants who entered the territory, which concerned the entire territory and his reputation.

If this small caravan was destroyed by the robbers under his eyelids, and even if the robbers were completely killed afterwards, other proprietors would inevitably give birth to the mind that Portia could not guarantee their safety.

Once such rumors arise, it may not be enough for the Bosian leader to hurt his muscles, but it can be considered a blow.

In order to avoid this, Rocky made the decision to protect the caravan as soon as possible.

That's when the third magic bomb lit up in the sky.

It has something to do with the family's reputation. The strong diamond standing behind Rocky also doesn't care about his identity. With a magic wand, the flames quickly lift off.

The first came later, and in the sky, two magic bombs collided with each other precisely, emitting a spark of sky.

At the same time ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Rocky once again sent a team, quickly went to the place where the caravan was located, and in accordance with the order of the owner, protected the people safely into the city.

The original plan was like this, but after half an hour, the guards did not seem to send the person back to the city, but took the person directly to Rocky.

When he saw the caravan appearing, Rocky's face showed an unexpected look, but out of trust in the family guard, he understood that there must be reasons he didn't know.

Realizing that the homeowner would meet those strange businessmen and customers, the strong diamonds had already roused their spirits for the first time.

Today, the winds in Portia are gradually rising.

The hostile forces even did the mean thing of sending people to pretend to be a bandit attack. No one can guarantee that these businessmen who seem to be involved in the aristocratic battle will be another trick of the enemy.

"I regret that there were some minor accidents, but as the lord, I still want to say a word and welcome to the leader of Portia."

"Dear Lord Lord, thank you for your kindness." As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Evra naturally does not want to miss this occasion.

However, he found that at the moment, Rocky had completely lost his interest in him. On the contrary, he showed a very interested expression to Wang Jun who had not yet spoken.

"If I didn't admit it, maybe this is the dean of the Superhero Academy?"
