Fire surged into the sky at the foot of the mountain, and Raymond held a sharp sword in his hand to drive the Chaman Knight who was extremely reluctant to pile stones at the hole.

"Raymond, I was seriously injured and needed treatment immediately!" Chaman put a stone to the entrance of the cave, and blood flowed down his forehead, covering his left eye.

"You can't treat me like this. I'm a knight sent by the Count. The Seven Gods are above me, at least let me stop the bleeding first!" Chaman was angry and frightened in his heart. He could not forget the scene of August's flame killing the terrifying creature.

Raymond ignored him and carefully carried out the tasks assigned by the lord.

Augustus stopped at the vent of the fire, the flames reflected in his empty eyes, and he stared at the words that appeared in his mind for a while and was stunned.

【Task】

[Task content: Knight Charman does not listen to the dissuasion and insists on his own actions. He knows secrets that he should not know. Only dead people can keep secrets forever. Task requirements: Eliminate hidden dangers with your own hands. Reward: One scroll of random engineering equipment (primary)]

"The secret... I don't know if it refers to ghouls or fireball techniques, but Raymond also knows why it doesn't matter..."

"It should be related to loyalty..."

Augustus quickly understood the key. Raymond was loyal to him and would not reveal his secret even if he knew it. However, Chaman obviously could not keep the secret.

"Junior engineering scroll, good stuff..."

Augustus did not understand the specific value of engineering scrolls before, but after he learned engineering, he had an intuitive understanding that after the engineering scroll was activated, he could not only directly obtain a finished product, but also learn the corresponding engineering drawings. You should know that the cheapest engineering drawings cost 100 gold coins.

"The task requirements are too...it's a bit difficult to deal with. Just eradicate it. Why do you have to use your own hands..."

Augustus looked at Chaman who was grinding on the lazy donkey. Even if there was no [question], he didn't plan to let Chaman return to the count. The ghoul could explain it, but his magical matters could not be exposed for the time being. God knows what consequences would be.

Originally, August was a little undecided, but he didn't know whether it was better to KO Chaman directly or lock him up. Now there is no need to worry about it. [Task] gave him "clear" guidance.

"Raymond." Augustus greeted.

"Sir." Raymond walked down the pile of stones and came to August. Seeing the power of the lord, he became more and more respectful.

Augustus was worried and hesitantly said: "That you...you go...summon the soldiers and seal the mine again as soon as possible. That guy can't finish it even if it's dark."

Raymond was a little worried that it would be unsafe for the lord to be with Chaman alone. What if Chaman was anxious to jump over the wall, but then a black hole in the ghoul's chest appeared in his mind and he took the order to walk towards the gray hoof.

Augustus waited for Raymond to get on the horse, and he walked slowly towards Chaman, his eyebrows full of entanglement.

"Mr. Augustus, you..."

Chaman has switched to honorifics, and Raymond was sent away by Augustus. He was very nervous. In his perception, only Viola's madnesses could use evil magic, such as spraying flames from his palms. He didn't want to face a madness alone.

Augustus raised his eyebrows and looked at Chaman, whose face was stained with blood, and said, "Work quickly. If a ghoul pops up again, we will feel uncomfortable."

Augustus' tone was much more peaceful than Raymond, but Chaman was as well-behaved as a little lamb and did not dare to stubbornly. He had already equated August with the Crazy Demon, and even said that he believed that the Ghouls were monsters raised by the Crazy Demon August.

Chaman was skeptical. When he returned to Guanghui City, the first thing he did was to ask the Earl to send troops to wipe out Thunder Axe Fort, and even the entire Baihe Town had to be cleaned up. The reason was very simple. Baihe Town was the stronghold of Viola's madness!

"Mr. Augustus, I was too reckless before. As you said, this incident is indeed much more complicated than the collapse of the mine. I think the Earl will not stand by and watch. I will report it truthfully when I go back. The Earl will definitely send soldiers to help you clear the mine."

Chaman had nothing to say, and the quiet environment made him feel cold on his back.

"Clean the mine cave? But I don't want the iron ore to continue running. Ghouls are terrible, let alone the iron ore is nothing..." Augustus said slowly.

Chaman paused, feeling a little funny in his heart, feeling that August was speaking wildly, but August's next words made him realize that he was outrageously wrong.

"I found a salt mine on the west side, about sixty meters away. You know, salt, the white powder used when cooking, which makes the dishes taste very delicious."

Augustus pointed to Shi Toushanxi and said, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was sharing the joy in his heart with his good friends.

"Qians...Salt Mine!?"

Chaman exclaimed that as a knight under the Count, he knew very well the strategic significance and value of salt, but even the Count had no strength to mine and possess.

There is a common perception on the Heloyk continent that a salt mine is enough to support the army of a principality. The subtext is that it must have the title of duke and comparable strength to it in order to protect a salt mine.

"Oh my God, Lord Augustus, it is not necessarily a good thing to find salt mines in your territory. This...it will even bring disaster to the Count. You must keep this amazing secret."

Although Chaman was scratched a few times on his head, he was still quite sober. He knew that if the salt mine was stabbed out, he said that the small Baihe Town could not withstand it, and even the Earl Giles territory would not have the peace of the past!

Augustus carried a large stone and handed it to Chaman, signaling Chaman to work quickly, and then lifted a large stone with clear edges from the ground.

"Of course I know that the salt mine is a huge secret and must not be revealed. Even Raymond doesn't know. Then think about it, why do I tell you such important news?"

Chaman was messed up by the salt mine incident and calmed down and thought, "Yes, even the chief knight around Augustus didn't know why he told me, could he want to win me over?"

Chaman stuffed the large stone in his hand into the hole, and finally filled the hole. As long as he lays a few more layers of gravel, the hole will be blocked. He was about to turn around and ask August when he heard the other party's voice sound, and a cool air rose from the back of his neck.

"Because you will definitely not reveal the secret... Hey, be careful of falling rocks."

Puff! A large stone with sharp edges and angularity was exactly falling on Chaman's head, as natural as if it was rolling down from a mountain.

"Well……"

Chaman's eyes were full of disbelief. Why there was no sign of falling rocks? There should be a sound when rolling on the mountain... He felt dizzy when his head was smashed, and his feet were unstable and he fell towards the pile of gravels.

As he fell down, Chaman looked upward and saw the bare stone mountain, the blue sky, and August's face, an extremely serious face.

Bang, Chaman fell into the pile of gravels, everything in front of him began to blur, and he knew that his life had come to an end.

"I didn't expect that I would die in Baihe Town..."

"It's a pity that there are still gold coins under the bedroom wardrobe that haven't been spent..."

"I remember the castle blacksmith still owes me ten silver coins..."

Before Chaman could think more, darkness completely enveloped him.
