"When did this happen?" David asked Jason the butler.
"For about half a month, I will go to the mining area to check every half a month. If you don't come back, I will go to the mining area tomorrow!" Butler Jason bowed back.
David sat back in his chair, tapped his fingers on the table, and thought about it.
The only thing he cares about in Bamaxing is the Qinya Manor, because that is the place where the 'Warm Heart Lotus' is produced.
However, as long as the nobles with a normal mind would not provoke the Qinya Manor, because it would anger the Main family.
After David sent the 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup', Lord Gould discovered that it contains energy that is effective for the fifth-level Templar Knights, so he showed his importance to Qinya Manor in the noble circle.
David even refused all previous orders for 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup'.
Now if other nobles want to get 'Heart-warming Lotus Seed Soup', they have to get it from Lord Gould through the Main family.
This is Lord Gould's intention to protect David. You must know that if other lords find out about this kind of "heart-warming lotus seed soup" that can be effective for fifth-level Templars, they will obtain it through various means. If David can't satisfy , is likely to lead to disaster.
Lord Gould's behavior also placed the Ginya Manor under the protection of the Maine family. Any action against the Ginya Manor would be tantamount to provoking the Maine family.
And another industry that attracted David's attention is the Black Rock Mining Area of Boyue Star. The Black Rock Mining Area is a krypton crystal mine. Although the output is not high, David left a 'pregnant crystal' there.
That's why he had such a reaction when he heard Jason's butler say that someone was spying on the mining area.
Although it is an external mining area and has not been found in the Black Rock mining area, who knows if anyone has explored the Black Rock mining area.
You must know that David did not leave any combat power in the Black Rock mining area, only two hundred native miners and stewards.
In the mining area of Boyue Star, a group of knights are advancing towards the mining area in a harsh environment. They have entered a purple gold mining area, which is also the only way to enter the black rock mining area.
The six knights were equipped with second-grade knight armor, which shielded the harmful gases in the air, allowing them to move without any scruples.
There is no mark on their second-grade knight armor.
"Leave no one alive, and don't let that person find us!" The knight captain looked at the figure in the mining area ahead, and said to his subordinates in a deep voice.
His subordinates naturally knew whose property this place was, and if a murder happened here, the consequences would be extremely disastrous.
The legend about Duke Arthur was widely circulated in the circle of nobles, even knights like them often heard about it.
But this time they had to come, because they were hired, and they couldn't afford to provoke the people who hired them, and they didn't dare to disobey orders.
Fortunately, the task of the six knights is also simple, enter the black rock mining area, find a special glowing stone and bring it back.
In order not to be found out by Duke Arthur, the six knights decided not to leave any survivors along the way. Even in order to be able to sneak in secretly, they did not reach Boyo Star through the star-level portal, but borrowed the people who hired them temporary portal.
"Attack!" The knight captain shouted.
Then the six knights summoned their horses together, mounted them and charged forward with heavy swords in hand.
The six knights are all land knights. With their force, not to mention these miners who have no combat power, even ordinary low-level noble castles cannot stop their attack.
The native miners screamed, and they couldn't even escape. The knight's horse was too fast, leaving them no chance at all.
"I'm a member of the Boyo Mining Union. This is the property of Duke Arthur. Please don't kill me!" The steward with the alchemy respirator raised his hand and shouted.
The steward hoped that the fame of the Boyo Mining Alliance and Duke Arthur would deter this group of knights, but obviously his yelling did not have any effect.
The horse of an earth knight rushed over his body, and the epee in his hand swept across his neck. The earth knight didn't pay attention to him at all, and continued towards the rest of the miners.
In just thirty seconds, everyone in this Zijin mining area died.
"Check everything, and no one will be left alive!" The knight captain waved his hand and ordered.
The Earth Knights checked the mine and the miner's residence, and after confirming that there were no survivors, they headed towards the Black Rock mining area.
Before arriving at the Black Rock Mine, the knight captain stopped his horse, and he jumped off the horse.
The knight captain observed the border of the Black Rock mining area, and an alchemy item was shining in his hand, indicating that there was an alchemy defense here.
He took out a magic talisman from the interspatial bag. This is a valuable boundary-breaking magic talisman. It is a very special magic talisman and should never appear in the hands of the earth knights.
The knight captain activated the boundary-breaking magic amulet, and a white ray of light rushed forward, and the defensive shield defending the Black Rock mining area appeared, but this white ray cut a small door in the defensive shield for people to enter and exit.
"You must leave within five minutes after entering!" The knight captain turned his head and told his companions.
Under the wave of the knight captain, the knights put away their horses and filed in through the small door on the defensive shield.
The six earth knights advanced 500 meters, and the strong krypton crystal energy could already be felt around them.
The knight captain is holding an alchemy item, and there is a light spot on the alchemy item indicating that his special glowing stone is in front of him.
"Captain, look over there!" an earth knight turned his head and said in an unbelievable voice.
The knight captain looked up and saw more than a dozen mechanical puppets cleaning the ground.
They were not surprised by the mechanical puppets, but they were surprised that they could see the mechanical puppets working here. You must know that this is a krypton crystal mining area. Due to the influence of krypton crystal energy, it is impossible for the mechanical puppets to move freely.
You must know that in the krypton crystal energy, the puppet wisdom core cannot operate.
Everyone in the Great World of Gods knows that krypton crystal mines can only be mined by hand, and puppets cannot be used.
But what happened before them told them that it seemed that Duke Arthur had found a way to make the mechanical puppet work normally in the krypton crystal mine.
"Don't worry about these puppets, find that glowing stone, and we'll leave immediately!" the knight captain said in a deep voice.
Six earth knights rode on their horses and formed a knight battle formation. The captain of the knights led the way according to the alchemy items in his hand, and rushed towards the light spot.
There is no one else here, so there is no danger, all they have to do is to complete the task as quickly as possible.
Just as the six earth knights approached, all nineteen robots issued harsh sirens. At the same time, the robot in the underground space put the 'pregnant spar' into the small item transmission circle, and within a white light, 'pregnant The spar' disappeared.
Then the robot crushed a two-way pattern. As soon as the two-way pattern broke apart, David, who was in the villa in the main city of Bama on the other side, felt a two-way pattern in the space pendant shatter.
"Butler Jason, find a way to investigate who is targeting our shop, I have something to do!" David's face changed slightly, and he ordered in a deep voice.
Originally, he wouldn't bother with the business, but it was too coincidental. At the same time, someone was targeting his industry, and something happened in the Black Rock mining area on the other side.
Combined with what the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin said before, that some nobles were about to suppress him, he felt that he was in some kind of vortex.
The five fourth-level sky knights summoned their flying mounts together, and David also flew up. Although he didn't have a flying mount, it was no problem for the five fourth-level sky knights to take him to accelerate the flight.
The aura of the six fourth-level sky knights rose above the main city of Bama, which made the two fourth-level law enforcement sky knights on duty in the law enforcement team panic, and flew over here quickly, seeing David's figure .
The two fourth-level law enforcement sky knights stopped their flying mounts in the air, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
They saw Duke Arthur who was flying with his five fourth-level sky knights. Although Duke Arthur didn't have a flying mount, they couldn't perceive the aura of the fourth-level sky knights wrongly.
The two fourth-level law enforcement sky knights glanced at each other, and then they all took out the contact circle and reported.
David didn't care that he was known as a fourth-level sky knight, and he didn't want to hide the fact that he had reached the fourth-level sky knight. The stronger his strength, the stronger his potential, which would make his friends pay more attention to him, and also Make his enemies think twice before taking on him.
The five fourth-level sky knights rode flying mounts extremely fast, and it took only a short time to reach the star-level portal.
"Boyo Star!" David immediately said to the teleportation staff when he arrived at the star-level portal.
The teleportation staff didn't hesitate, and immediately opened the portal for David.
This is the busiest time for the planet-level portal, and many nobles are waiting to pass through, but none of the nobles said much, and they looked at David with kindness on purpose.
Not to mention that all these nobles saw David, it was just six fourth-level sky knights acting together, and they didn't dare to intervene.
Although David has jumped the line, as a Duke, David still has this privilege.
David nodded his thanks to the teleportation staff, and then five sky knights rode flying mounts and led him into the portal.
David and five fourth-level sky knights flew out from the star-level portal of Boyo Star, and the momentum was rising, which showed his mood at this time.
The shattering of the two-way pattern shows that the 'pregnant stone' has been transferred away, but it also shows that the long-term cultivation plan in the black rock mining area has failed, and the 'pregnant crystal' has left the black rock mining area. The energy of crystal growth also dissipated.
Such a long time of hard work was ruined, how could David not be angry.
"How did Duke Arthur come so fast? Should we stop him?" August's fifth-level Templar asked Job's fifth-level Templar beside him.
They all came here using energy avatars, hidden in an ordinary noble carriage.
This action against the Black Rock mining area was promoted by the coalition of forces, and they did not intend to act directly like this.
The coalition of forces first wanted to attack Duke Arthur through commercial activities, but when they investigated Duke Arthur's property, they found that there were very few properties belonging to Duke Arthur.
In addition to the ten plantations and one winery of the Luce family on Dasheng, there are some commercial industries in the main city of Bama and the mining area of Boyo.
These are really too shabby for a duke. It is estimated that the output of these industries is not enough to maintain the duke's daily life.
Ten plantations and one winery cannot be targeted in a short period of time. At most, after the harvest, the production of the plantations and wineries can be prevented from being acquired through relationships. This can only be done after the autumn harvest.
After inquiring about the Qinya Manor in Bama Star, they didn't dare to act at all. It was tantamount to directly making enemies of the Main family. At least all the members of the power alliance, even the hired knights, dared not accept such a task.
The four shops in the main city of Bama are also the only place where Duke Arthur can be attacked, and the alliance of forces also operates through subordinate forces.
Of course, the coalition of forces will not let go of the mining area of Boyo star, but among the knights sent to investigate, there is a knight who returned from the battle star, and the 'pregnant crystal' sensor brought back from the battle star is left on his body. Alchemy items react.
This news immediately got the attention of the power alliance, and the whole incident changed from suppressing Duke Arthur to snatching the 'pregnant spar'.
In order to snatch the 'pregnant spar', the alliance of forces not only dispatched a knight squad composed of six earth knights, but two of the four fifth-level templar knights in the alliance of forces came The avatar was ready to respond, and immediately put away the snatched 'pregnant spar'.
The knight squad formed by the earth knights, whose employers are not members of the power alliance, even if something happens to the knight squad, the power alliance cannot be traced.
To be honest, even the fifth-level Templars are cautious of Duke Arthur, and don't want to directly tear each other with Duke Arthur.
It is not that there is no influence behind Duke Arthur. Whether it is the Maine family or dozens of fifth-level Templars who he has helped and owed favors to him, they are all his backing.
Therefore, the coalition of forces did not act by themselves, but robbed the 'pregnant spar' by hiring knights.
"Are you going to turn against Duke Arthur now and let him know that we did it? Or should we kill him now?" Job said, shaking his head.
The two fifth-level Templars have their own families, and they will not attack a duke in the city unless it is absolutely necessary.
Besides, the two fifth-level Templars also saw that David's strength had reached the fourth-level sky knights, and with five fourth-level sky knights beside them, they came here as energy clones, and they wanted to quickly It might be difficult to solve David.
You must know that David and the five fourth-level sky knights are flying very casually, and they also maintain the formation of the knight battle formation.
