Buzz...shes...shots of low and inaudible wings echoed faintly in the dim mine channel.

No one noticed that small insects with very inconspicuous images were flying everywhere among the mines in this mining area. When they flew to some miners in secret corners, especially those miners were still

When the insects are alone and no one is approaching within dozens of meters around, the little insects will stop.

Then, these miners often feel tired and sleepy, and then unknowingly stop mining and fall into a state of sleep.

Soon afterwards, the sleeping bodies of these miners would be wrapped in a ball of silver streamer that appeared out of thin air, and then slowly turned from real to virtual, turning into wisps of streamer flashing with data codes and disappearing directly into the air.

In just one hour, more than ten people disappeared quietly in this mining area. When someone found something was wrong and found their last stay, there was only an undropped pickaxe left in the spot.

The raw ore was completely gone.

Although many people were missing, they did not cause much reaction in the mining area, because the miners basically worked in groups of two or three, except for their companions in the same group.

No one else is familiar with it.

After all, as slaves, even if they know each other well, they don’t know if something will happen in a few days and will never see each other again.

What's more, the safety of this kind of work in a wild mine is not guaranteed much, so you may encounter some accidents, such as cave collapses and attacks by wild elves. It is common for one or two slaves to disappear on weekdays.

The slave miners were almost used to it, or were already numb.

Until the sun set and the mine was off work, the supervisors in the mining area found that there were more than twenty people missing when counting the number of slave miners. They felt something was wrong, so they reported the result to their boss.

After the senior management of the mine area found out the situation, they were not too careless, because of this level of loss of people, and no bodies were left behind, and no reaction to mine collapse was detected, then there was a great possibility that it would be wild.

The elves' attacks.

Ordinary miners do not have the ability to fight against elves, especially those slave miners who can't eat from time to time. Even if they only encounter a mortal-level elves, they do not have much ability to resist.

Even though I knew that elves might have attacked humans in the mining area, I still let it go. If I only lost more than a dozen coolies today, I might have to lose more slaves every day. This is for the owner of the mining area.

But there is a considerable loss. Even if slave miners are cheap, they are valuable human resources for mining areas, and they still don’t have to pay their wages. Naturally, they cannot let them lose in vain.

So, the manager of the mining area sent his own guard forces into the mine and began to investigate possible injuries.

This mining area was directly contracted by the Empire. Considering the safety of the mining area in the wild, the people responsible for guarding are regular elves at least the military level. Even if the opponent is also a wild elves at the military level, they have regular faces.

The power of the elves can basically not make any waves.

However, the results of the investigation were indeed nothing. Not only did they not find the so-called wounded wild elves, but they did not even find any traces of corpses and struggles that the miners might have left, just as if they had evaporated directly from the world.

Although the upper floors of the mining area that did not get the results felt a little uneasy, they could not really stop the mining area from working because of unknown reasons. This would delay the mining income.

So the next day, the mining area was still working, but this time, a few more elves and a fully armed team of soldiers were divided into several groups and patrolled carefully in various mines.

The slave miners also felt this atmosphere different from usual from this situation, but due to orders, they could only continue to work in their worries.

Then, the next day, there were still people in the mining area who were not even left with bodies, but the number was much smaller than yesterday, only four or five, and they were all in remote corners without being patrolled soldiers.

The mine area that we noticed was missing in the gap time. The mine area was very large. After years of mining, the mines inside were as complex as spider webs. Naturally, the number of soldiers who could be sent out could not be as luxurious as the number of miners.

Therefore, it is impossible to take into account all the mines, and there will always be omissions. Those omissions are where the slave miners disappeared.

On the third day, about five or six people were still missing; on the fourth day, four or five more people were missing...

No matter how diligent the patrol soldiers were, they could not catch the strife in the obviously problematic mine tunnel. At most, they would suppress the trend of attacking miners.

After a long time, the manager of the mining area simply became ruthless and revoked most of the patrol personnel in the mine channel, retaining the minimum surveillance ability in the major main mine channel, and then no longer cared about it. After all, it cannot be done in the slightest.

In the absence of results, manpower continued to be wasted because of the concerns about the attackers in the mines during this period, even the guards on the outer layer of the mines were a little empty.

Even in normal times, there are one or two people who have had accidents in such outdoor mining areas every day. Now it’s just a little more frequent. Since it’s been so much harder to find it, it’s better to just do it.

Just leave it alone.

Anyway, the one who happened was just a lowly slave!

There are thousands of slaves working hard in this mining area, and every once in a while, new slaves will be sent to add manpower to supplement consumption. It is only a few people who can bear the losses. This is what the senior management of the mining area is in the minds of the mind.

The idea seems cruel and conforms to the style of the empire's strong supremacy and the weak and ants.

However, although the patrols of most soldiers were cancelled, several regular elves' high-level patrols would occasionally sneak into the mine channel under the instruction of senior officials in the mine area to secretly investigate the possible lurking attackers in the mine channel.

Such a response shows that the senior officials in the mining area are not really brainless. After all, the previous investigation was fruitless, and it may be that the attackers were afraid of the power of a large number of soldiers and chose to lurk. Therefore, they adopted a more secret exploration method.

But the results are still futile.

In the mining area, there are still several or even dozens of people missing inexplicably every day, which has always been suspicious about the high-ranking officials of the mining area considering whether they want to ask for help from the empire, although once they ask for help, they may give their own experience.

Adding disgraceful political achievements to the mine, but compared to the obviously worse outcome, which is a huge danger hidden in the mine but causes significant losses due to his own inaction, the senior officials still choose to act safely.

But just as he was about to make a decision, the strange disappearance of the slaves in the mine suddenly stopped. Although it cannot be said that there will be no accident again, after all, this kind of mining work cannot be guaranteed to be very safe, but like

It was impossible for the left-behind elves to detect. No trace of the corpse left behind. It was like evaporating out of thin air. It did not happen again. The mining area returned to the normal situation in the past.

After hesitating for a while, he found that there was no abnormality in the mining area. He gave up his plan to ask for help and pressed this question in his heart.

The abnormal incident no longer occurs. Perhaps the secret attacker has already disliked this place and left himself? The senior official has reached the point where he can be transferred to the position for another year or two. Since he has a choice, he certainly won't want to let himself go.

There are stains in their political achievements.

Just pretend that this has not happened! At most, just in case you leave a private file to remind future successors.

This senior official in the Slardi Seventh Mine Area, who was responsible for managing the empire, did not know that the phenomenon of slave miners in the mine inexplicably evaporated from the world was not only in his mining area, but the empire was distributed in other parts of the country.

Similar strange phenomena occur in mining areas.

The time lasted about half a month, and the number of slave miners disappeared was already tens of thousands.

And it's not just a mining area. The empire planned to be the lower-level serfs who were responsible for growing grain and herbs in major planting areas outside the towns, as well as the work slaves in factories in various towns, and women who struggled in the red light district because of forced reasons.

**scribe……

The slaves from various regions and industries have more or less mysteriously disappeared. However, because the number of people is too scattered, and the timing and the location of the incident often happen when others do not notice it.

When the situation is alone, this phenomenon of disappearance seems very inconspicuous.

After all, this country is very big and has various atmospheres that can easily brew misery among the lower class civilians. It is normal for people to disappear occasionally.

More importantly, the missing people are all slaves with very low value, and they are basically the type that no one cares about even if they disappear. Before and after they disappear, they almost cause any disturbance to society...

Adding up all the factors, even the imperial intelligence agencies failed to find anything obvious wrong here.

...

Jiang Yan stood in a dim underground cave, and his superpowers were silently operating, transferring a ball of silver data streaming to himself, and then skillfully transforming it from the data state to the physical state.

The silver stream of light disappeared, and in front of Jiang Yan was a ragged middle-aged man with a sloppy body. His waist, back and arms had many muscles brought by years of hard work. He seemed quite strong, but he represented the

The qi and blood state, which had physical health, was clearly presented under Jiang Yan's superpower scanning, and it was like a candle in the wind.

Although this middle-aged man has some muscles, his face is obviously thin and has aged wrinkles. His skin is yellow and rough, and one-third of his hair is even gray and white.

Obviously, what appeared in front of Jiang Yan was a person who had been malnutrition for a long time, his physical potential was also destroyed and he had begun to lose his life.

"Tsk... the physical condition is not good." Looking at the condition of the person in front of him, Jiang Yan frowned slightly: "Forget it, after all, it is my future laborer. Since you have the ability to do it, I will help you improve it.

!”

Without him, a huge bull-shaped elf with curved horns on his forehead came up next to him and came to Jiang Yan's gentle and downed his majestic body.

"Fortunately, I had already anticipated this situation when I selected the target, and I was prepared for it." With such a whisper, Jiang Yan raised his hand to lift the lid of the large leather bag hanging on the body of the unicorn cow.

, a small glass bottle was taken out, and the bottle was filled with a light green and radiant potion.

After shaking the bottle and looking at the beautifully colored potion that was bumping back and forth with his movements, Jiang Yan smiled.

"Fortunately after the network of sub-machines was laid out, it was possible to easily collect information from local high-level pharmaceutical manufacturers in this world, so I could successfully copy the software related to herbal refining on her body! Otherwise, the properties of herbal medicines in different worlds might be

There will be subtle differences. If I only explored myself, I don’t know how much time it would be wasted, let alone refining potions of various attributes!”

This bottle of potion is one of the large number of recovery medicines that Jiang Yan has spent some time in his spare time to refine.

The technology has been copied through superpowers. Jiang Yan has countless sub-machines and intelligent brains to help collect the raw materials. There is no need to worry. The key is the output, because the only pharmacist who can be competent at present is himself, so although the output of the drug is quite large,

But it can't be called too much.

But after today, the problem of insufficient staff in this area will no longer be a worry.

"Although this level of recovery elixir cannot replenish your life span, it is still okay to significantly improve your current condition. Otherwise, I am really worried that you will suddenly die halfway through work

Woolen cloth."

With the idea, Jiang Yan forced the middle-aged man who was sleeping in front of him with the authority of the opportunity to contract.

“Uh…this is…?!”

The middle-aged man whose consciousness has recovered, looked at the strange boy standing in front of him who inexplicably made him instinctively unable to resist or arouse any hostility, as well as the same strange environment around him, and the one not far away

When he was a majestic unicorn elves, even though he had been numb in the mining area for seven or eight years of slavery, he was shocked.

"Shut up first, be quiet! Don't ask anything!" Looking at the middle-aged man who seemed to be screaming subconsciously, Jiang Yan ordered in a plain tone.

"…!!" The man was about to let out a scream, and he found that he could not act independently, and a deep look of fear appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Yan continued to say in a calm and steady tone: "Don't think about it randomly. All the information has been transmitted to your brain by the intelligence brain. If you think about it carefully, you will understand the cause and effect."

The middle-aged man tried it and found that as the mysterious boy in front of him said, a lot of information appeared out of thin air in his mind.

Ziji, Internet, agreement, smart brain, and the other party's identity, as well as the fact that he had signed the contract to be sold to the boy in front of him, all the information came to his mind.

At this point, the middle-aged man found that he had regained his ability to move freely. However, Jiang Yan saw that it was almost done, so he lifted the authority imposed on him.

The middle-aged man who understood the current situation calmed down his emotions and bowed directly to Jiang Yan: "...Sir, your slave Potter greets you."

"Very good. It seems that the first one to wake you up is right. As expected, the psychological endurance is OK." Jiang Yan exclaimed, and then handed over the bottle of potion in his hand: "It's called Potter, right?

?You drink this recovery medicine first and nourish your strength. Then, I will hand over the remaining task of explaining the situation to others. Oh, by the way, I will also grant you the temporary superior authority to appease the newcomer.

, don't let me down."

Jiang Yan pointed behind Porter.

Respectfully taking the obviously extraordinary potion, Potter looked back as Jiang Yan's movements.

Then, under the crystal lamps at the top of the cave, a large number of people lying on the ground in a row and falling asleep appeared in his sight.
