146. The Lost Land of Gold

Chapter 557

around the mine site.

Mu Sicheng's movements began to slow, and he looked cautiously at the gold sculptures gathered at the entrance to the mine not far away, moving his headset to his lips and reporting in a low voice, "Human sculptures in sight."

Having said that, he took a photo and transmitted it.

The human gold sculptures in the photograph are framed in various poses at the entrance to the mine, their faces and expressions very agitated and grim, some of them holding banners and appearing to raise their arms in shouting.

"The banner reads [Never hand over the gold mine]." Muke translated, "There were also some curse words, which I won't translate here."

"I'm slightly surprised, actually."

Muke pondered, "I read in the papers that after a period of decline, there had been a second burst of growth in gold, and the map Mu Sicheng found of the recent increase in gold confirmed this, that there must be something wrong with this second increase, otherwise there would not be a large number of new miners with strange organ sclerosis. It is because of this second increase that Georgia's resistance to handing over the mines has increased so much that the population, seeing the promise of increased gold, is unlikely to agree to a handover again."

"But here's the thing ......"

"It's written in the fairy tale that the god will only supply gold for a thousand years." Bai Liu picked up calmly, "If it was the god we know, he would have stopped supplying gold instantly when the one thousand year covenant was up, as per the deal, there is no way he would have continued to supply gold, this secondary explosion of gold minerals is not normal."

"And there's something wrong with Georgia handing over the gold mines to the Bureau of Heresy so decisively."

"He was a prince at the time, and even if he had realised there was a problem with the minerals, the most logical thing to do would have been to shut it down and investigate it himself, not to so easily hand over the source of the nation's dependence to an outside organisation like the Bureau of Heresy, which would also have been more likely to gain support."

"There was room for manoeuvre and Georgia's approach could have been less aggressive." Bai Liu pauses, "but it should have been some kind of third-party factor that fuelled the conflict between the two sides."

"This third-party factor must have been something that Georgia could not have prevented, a force majeure factor." Liu Jiayi ponders for a moment before continuing, "And this force majeure factor would have been introduced by someone from within, and with a lot of support, otherwise Georgia would not have chosen to work externally."

"And this force majeure factor has led Georgia to believe that only the Heresy Processing Authority can handle ......"

At this point in the inference, Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu both stop for a moment.

The specifics of this force majeure factor are called out.

Bai Liu calmly stated the answer, "There were people in the Gloren country at the time who once again sought cooperation and deals with God to keep the gold mine producing."

The 13 mines are located in the interior of the mountains, and from the blasted exit of the mountain, a long-established track is followed down by a mine train, and on both sides it looks like some kind of relic treasure, full of heaps and heaps of gold, even excavated without much effort to refine it, which is already of considerable purity.

But twelve years ago, such a scenario, which had lasted for a thousand years, no longer existed in Gloren.

After a long winter break, the first carloads of ore mined in the spring did not even fill half the wagons, and the population looked on in fear and confusion at the miners sitting in the wagons, all waiting for the first carloads of gold ore of the spring to be ground into gold dust and sprinkled high into the sky - a rite of passage for the arrival of spring at Gloren.
