4625 Two People

"I didn't expect to pick you up so soon."

The conditions that Luo Ji set up at that time undoubtedly had some intention to screen these two people out.

However, considering the large number of coolies in the mine, Luo Ji was basically prepared to go a few more times, or even a dozen times.

Who would have thought that he would be so lucky that he would be picked on the first trip.

The man who was talking to him at this time had gray hair and rough and wrinkled skin. He looked at least seventy or eighty years old.

But in fact, the other party is only fifty-seven years old now.

In the human empire, which pays attention to the development of science and technology, and its natural lifespan is getting longer and longer, at this age, it is definitely still young, and it can even be said to be in its prime.

It's just that after being reduced to a prisoner of war, the life of a coolie is really too sad, which makes the man in his prime look extraordinarily old.

As for the other man who came in with the other party, the two looked about the same age, but they were actually about the same age.

But the face and personality are quite different.

In terms of facial features, the man who spoke was a very typical yellow man, and the other man had a typical white face.

As for personality, compared to the man who took the initiative to speak, the other man is undoubtedly much more taciturn.

After entering, he simply saluted Luo Ji without saying a single word until Luo Ji took out a wine bottle...

"Oh shit! Beer?! I really want to die for this thing!"

Before the wine was poured out, through the bottle, the other party's nose moved, and he could already smell the aroma of fermented malt.

Under the stimulation of this malt scent, the taciturn man seemed to be a different person.

Luo Ji wasn't interested in teasing them, so he gave them two bottles of beer.

The obviously gluttonous Caucasian man tilted his head. After drinking a bottle, he didn't see anything wrong. He leaned directly on the sofa in Luo Ji's office, heaved a long sigh of relief, and his face showed a look of intoxication. .

Compared with the beer they had drunk before, under these limited conditions, the taste of the beer produced must be much worse.

But how many years have they not drank this sip?

With the blessing of this time BUFF, at this moment, the white man only felt that the bottle of beer in his hand was incomparably delicious!

For this feeling, the other man sitting next to him also had the same feeling.

At this moment, it is impossible for a white man who has been addicted to alcohol to drink just one bottle. Luckily, Luo Ji is not bad either, anyway, he has plenty to drink as much as he wants.

The white man who had finished two bottles of beer soon wiped the corners of his mouth, and after sweeping his eyes over Luo Ji and the other person, he said without thinking...

"You talk about your own, don't worry about me."

In this regard, the man who was the companion couldn't help being a little speechless.

"My lord, please forgive me, Geralt is a bit rude."

Hearing this, the white man called Gerrett rolled his eyes, and then glanced at the empty wine bottle and another bottle of beer in front of him.

"Lu Yang, you are not the same, I remember you didn't like to drink before."

In the past, Lu Yang might have felt embarrassed about this matter, but after working as a coolie for so many years, his face has long been honed and thickened.

"Okay, drink your wine and go, Gerrett!"

Needless to say, Luo Ji and Lu Yang and Gerrett in front of him can be said to have known each other for a long time.

Luo Ji's miniature reconnaissance robot had carried out a long period of reconnaissance work in the mine after arriving in the mine along with the baby carriage.

In this mine, there are quite a few small groups of prisoners of war as coolies, and Lu Yang and Gerrett undoubtedly belong to the largest group among them. The total number of people in the group is 371 people, and Lu Yang is the leader of that group.

In that environment, being able to make 371 people obey his orders and dispatches was enough to show Lu Yang's methods.

During the period, after gaining a more thorough understanding of the situation in the mine, Luo Ji used the miniature reconnaissance robot to contact Lu Yang and the others.

At first glance, this may seem like a risky move, but it is not.

Because it is basically impossible for a person like Lu Yang to do anything stupid.

As it turns out, it does.

In the Vatican of the Holy Light, if they want to really grow and grow fast, the humans in the lower city alone are definitely not enough, so they need talents who have received modern education.

Under this premise, they also knew the existence of this group of prisoners of war, so the other party naturally became the best choice in the minds of Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan.

Therefore, after contacting Lu Yang and briefly revealing their identities, the two sides quickly reached a verbal agreement.

To put it simply, when the time is right, Luo Ji can rescue him, but in contrast, Lu Yang will work for him.

Lu Yang was well aware of the situation in the Vatican of the Holy Light, so he knew that Luo Ji's promise would be too difficult to fulfill.

But little hope is better than no hope!

He is a capable person, how could he really be willing to be the leader of the coolie group in this mine for the rest of his life?

With such a mentality, Lu Yang still attaches great importance to this cooperation.

During this period, Luo Ji naturally expressed his sincerity to Lu Yang as part of his plan. He wanted to let the other party know that he was not just talking nonsense here, so that everyone's cooperation would be more pleasant.

In response, Lu Yang also showed his sincerity, showing that he could provide Luo Ji with gunpowder!

That's right, the raw materials for making gunpowder can basically be obtained in this mine. Yi people have no interest in these materials. In their view, these materials are no different from waste, but in the hands of humans born in the country of science and technology Here, the value of these materials is undoubtedly great, and they even made some simple earthen guns out of them.

Obviously, in this mine, it is unrealistic to become the leader of the largest group based on governance ability alone, and it must be matched with sufficient deterrence.

Not only did the gunpowder be prepared, but even in the limited and harsh environment, the person who made the earthen gun was Jerrett who had already turned into a drunkard!

Before he was defeated and captured, and became a coolie, he was the ordnance researcher of that human empire.

Gunpowder can actually be found in the lower city, but the output is not large, and the reserves are not much. Therefore, the gunpowder used by their lower city musketeers is mainly provided by this place. It is Luo Ji who opens the portal. , sent over batch by batch.

"Okay, Lord City Master, let's talk about the situation of the Holy See Kingdom now..."

While speaking, Lu Yang pushed aside another half-drunk bottle of beer.

Obviously, after preparing to talk about business, he didn't plan to continue drinking.

Although the long-lost sip of beer is tempting, for Lu Yang, the future is more important!
