Chapter 115 Are You Dio?
In the mining area, after many days of mining, the place is completely different from before.
A large amount of iron ore was mined, put into bags, and then carried out by serfs to a special storage location for the ore.
The work of mining ore is tiring, and for those inexperienced serfs, it is a kind of torture from the beginning.
But for serfs with relevant experience, the work here is extremely light. They used to mine ore in other territories. They had to enter the mine before dawn and worked until night, with no time to rest at all. .
Moreover, there is an ore task, and a certain amount of ore must be mined every day. If it is not reached, there will be no food for the day, and you will be whipped by the supervisor.
They were already weak, and it would be a problem for them to walk with two whips, and some would even be whipped to death. Anyway, for the nobles, if the serfs died, they would die. At worst, they would buy some more.
Here, there are no whips and no supervisors.
They were divided into groups, and each group had a group leader. The group leader played the role of supervisor, but he had to work harder than others in order to maintain his status as the group leader.
After getting up every day, they will get breakfast, which makes them who have no concept of breakfast know the importance of breakfast.
If there is something in the stomach, then mining will be more energetic. After breakfast is consumed, it is lunch time. After eating, they continue mining, and then into the afternoon.
It was still dark before they could leave the mine and return to their houses.
Of course, these breakfast, lunch and dinner require work points in exchange. The most basic meals only require one work point, a bowl of porridge and a piece of brown bread. If you are willing to spend more work points, you can eat better. Meals, even meat are fine.
As for the team leader, he can drink meat porridge.
This is real meat porridge, without any adulteration, and you can still see the meat slices inside.
This also made the others determined to become the team leader and drink the meat porridge.
Those team leaders who drank the meat porridge naturally did not want to continue like this, which formed a competitive relationship.
What they compete for is the efficiency of mining, not deliberately causing trouble, because the last person who caused trouble has had all his work points revoked.
At this time, the men of Group 5 were mining in their area.
"Hey, Dior, you can't dig like this, it should be like this." The group leader was explaining to a thin man.
As he spoke, he demonstrated the movements. For experienced miners like them, mining is also a kind of technology and experience. There are many details about the angle at which to dig, how much effort to use, and what kind of ore to dig.
Like a particularly hard ore, you can't use too much force. You have to start from the side and mine it bit by bit, otherwise it will be useless no matter how hard you dig.
The man known as Dio held a tool in his hand and knocked it weakly on the stone. The force of the reaction made his arms shake.
He has been here for several days, is not used to mining at all, and is slow to learn.
The team leader was very anxious when he saw him like this, and his emotions were quite complicated, ranging from happiness to anger.
Fortunately, Dio is in such a state that it is impossible to compete with him for the position of team leader. Unfortunately, his arrival will slow down the mining speed of the entire team. As a result, there will be no way to compete for the best team.
Although there is a seven-day buffer for each newcomer's arrival, this period of time is not included in the overall calculation, but it will be included in the seven days later. With his appearance, he is afraid that no matter how he adapts, he will still be the same.
Every thirty days, the housekeeper will conduct statistics. The team members with the most overall work points will be rewarded with meat porridge, and the team leader will be able to eat large pieces of meat.
Many team leaders work hard for meat.
Dio followed his movements and waved the tool. The team leader shook his head when he saw it, "Hey, your body is too weak, and you just came here, and you are not used to mining at all. I am very surprised. Normally, you don't You will be assigned to the mining area. Your body is suitable for farming."
Dio was speechless.
The person on the side said: "Don't talk so much. He hasn't spoken since he came here. I even wonder if he is mute."
"Yes, I guess he must have done something wrong to be assigned to the mining area. Otherwise, look at his small body, he is not even as good as a woman."
"Okay, okay, don't say so much. After all, he is a member of our team." The team leader said quickly.
The team leader looked at him and persuaded: "Dior, I don't know what you did wrong, but since you have work points, it means you still have the possibility to go out. Work hard and accumulate work points. Maybe then Then you can leave the mining area and go farming. After all, you are in such bad health that you are really afraid of something happening if you are here all the time."
Dio still didn't answer, didn't even pay attention to him.
The team leader shook his head helplessly.
The entire mining area is divided into multiple areas, and each group is in its own area.
In the second group, one of the team members hit the ore heavily with a tool. As the ore shattered, a bright light appeared. He was a little curious and picked it up. It was a bit of light red powder, which was still a bit hard when held. , emitting a faint light.
He didn't think much about it and threw it away.
In the afternoon, after a day of mining, the miners left the mining area with exhaustion on their faces.
"I'm so tired. I need to eat something good to replenish my body."
"We've had enough, what else do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat an egg."
"Do you have enough work points? I remember that you spent your work points quickly because you often had extra meals. Don't forget, you also said you would save up all your work points to exchange for the status of a free citizen."
"I know, but you can't treat yourself badly. Anyway, I don't know when I will become a free citizen. It's better to have a good meal first. You too. Don't make yourself miserable. Just eat that much every day. If you ask me, you should Exchange for two eggs.”
"I don't dare, but you are right. If you eat well, your body will be strong and you can mine more ores. Then I will add an egg."
The miners chatted and laughed and came to the notice board. There were already two large buckets with porridge in them, and soup, eggs, etc. beside them.
As they ate, they discussed the information on the bulletin board.
"This young man is really awesome. His work points have increased so fast."
"Without looking at who the other party is, Darcy is the first person to live in the house. Not only does he have to participate in militia training every day, he also has to farm and cut down trees. It is said that he also wants to go to the mining area to mine, but he was Refused."
"Ah, why?"
"It seems that I don't want him to be too tired. Think about it, just training is so tiring, you have to do so many things, and you have to learn to read and write at night, so you won't have much energy the next day. If it goes on like this, His body definitely can’t take it.”
"I think he is in good health. I have spoken to him before. He is a very energetic young man."
"Anyway, I think it's good. Think about it. If he goes to mine, he will compete with us for the position of team leader."
"That's not the case. If we work for one day, he will only work for half a day. How can we not be as good as him?"
"What do you think?"
The man was speechless and nodded, "You're right, it's better to say goodbye."
"Come here, come here, Darcy is here."
For a moment, everyone looked over.
Not far away, Darcy walked towards this side. Compared with the beginning, his condition was not a little bit better. His body became stronger, his eyes were bright, full of confidence, and with a uniform Many women's eyes widened when they saw the clothes they were wearing.
Darcy felt their gazes. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't care. Instead, he ordered two bowls of porridge and two eggs.
"Darcy, you have a big appetite. People in the militia provide food, so why are you still eating here?" someone asked curiously.
Darcy took the porridge and eggs and replied sheepishly, "I don't know what's going on. My appetite has increased a lot recently. The same goes for other people in the militia, but they are not as powerful as me."
In fact, there is still a word left. Even if I eat these two bowls of porridge and eggs, it won't have much effect. At most, it can relieve the hunger in my stomach.
He was also very grateful to the lord for being able to exchange work points for it, otherwise he would have been hungry at night.
"Oh, it must be that you train a lot. You run laps around the town every day. I heard that you seem to have added two more laps recently?"
"Six more circles." Darcy finished the porridge in one go as soon as he said it.
What was added the day after the lord left was that not only the number of laps increased, but the amount of daily training was greatly increased, and battle events were also added.
Not only will you fight with your companions, but you will also fight with the captain.
Captain Miles is an official knight, and Darcy can learn a lot every time he fights with him.
Even Captain Jack, whether it was an illusion or not, Darcy always felt that his mood was not very good.
He didn't think too much, he just needed to do his own thing.
After eating, Darcy patted his butt and left. He was going to learn to read and write with Butler Caris. He had to go every day. This was a mandatory requirement.
For other members of the militia team, it was more torturous, but he didn't think so. Instead, he thought it was a very interesting thing. Even if he kept writing on the ground, he didn't know when he would be able to write on paper.
Although the others left, the serfs were still discussing, and some even targeted Darcy, thinking silently that sooner or later they would become like him.
"Dior, is Dio here?" Little Tom ran over and shouted loudly.
Under a tree not far away, Dio heard the sound and raised his head.
"Have you seen Dio?" asked little Tom.
"It's right over there. I usually eat alone and don't talk. It's really strange."
"I wonder if he is mute?"
"Probably not. Butler Caris asked him."
These people were eating and chatting, and the content of the discussion was nothing more than the affairs of the people around them.
Little Tom dragged Dio up and said, "The lord has something to do with you."
Linn put down the papyrus and picked up the soap. He used it a few times and found that the fragrance retention effect was very good. It was not just about putting the flower juice in it. Otherwise, it would just be dyed at best, and it would not be as good as it was. fragrance.
"Sir, I brought Dio back." Little Tom's voice came from outside.
The two of them walked in and stood at the door. Linn waved his hand, and little Tom left immediately to go about his own business. He also had to help Caris housekeeper teach those people how to read and write.
"Are you Dio?" Linn asked.
"Dear Sir, I am Dio."
Lin En looked at him for a few times. He was an extremely thin man. He could not hold up the clothes on his body, causing them to be baggy. His hair was yellowish white, as if due to excessive lack of nutrition.
His cheeks were sunken, but his eyes had a different look.
His information is recorded on the papyrus. According to Caris's description, Dio was a serf, although his parents were not.
