Chapter 251: Rebellion Expert Raydell
Rupert quickly noticed the actions of these mining slaves. His expression turned grim, and he brandished his whip, striking one of them as he sternly reprimanded, "What are you looking at? Get back to work!"
The onlookers hesitated momentarily but then resumed their labor, lifting stones and continuing their excavation.
Rupert redirected his gaze, glaring menacingly at Raydell. If it weren't for the fact that Raydell had some medical skills that could save expenses for the Baron, a troublemaker like him would have been dealt with long ago.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Rupert soon had an idea, a playful smirk forming on his face.
"If you want me to spare him, that can be arranged. But the ore production for this week needs to increase by another ten percent!"
"It's your choice!" Rupert grinned sardonically.
Raydell clenched his teeth, seething with anger. But Ham was badly injured; his skin torn open and without proper treatment, he might not last. Reluctantly, Raydell nodded in agreement.
"Also, today's work for him will be covered by all of you. Otherwise, none of you will have dinner tonight!" Rupert declared loudly, ensuring every mining slave present could hear him.
The mining slaves who had initially stood with Raydell couldn't help but feel resentment. Many blamed Raydell for interfering.
The tasks assigned by Rupert previously were already extremely burdensome, and an additional ten percent in production meant risking their lives!
Raydell dared not meet the eyes of the others. He took some herbs from his pocket and tended to Ham's injuries briefly. The rest was left to fate. He then wasted no time, picking up his pickaxe and working harder than anyone else.
This mining area had over a thousand miners. Despite Ham's absence, with Raydell leading, everyone worked tirelessly, desperate to have dinner.
Rupert couldn't risk starving these people over such a trivial matter; otherwise, he'd face the consequences during tomorrow's ore extraction, receiving all the blame.
After a long day, most miners received dinner - a piece of dark bread and soup made from wheat grass.
Raydell looked bewildered. He had heard similar statements many times, but it only added to his confusion.
However, the mine guards didn't allow them to delve into deeper discussions. Each wielded their whips, urging the miners to sleep quickly. Conversing at such late hours was forbidden, and they only had five hours of rest.
Raydell had no choice but to bury his doubts and lie down on the bed made of grass. The exhaustion from a day of mining swiftly lulled him into a deep sleep.
About half an hour later, a guard holding a torch, taking advantage of the solitude, slipped a finely crafted ring onto Raydell's finger.
Simultaneously, at the Iyeta Harbor, in the office of the Dean, Lynn also received a message regarding Raydell.
A young lad with a bit of herb knowledge, a rebellious spirit, and some influence among the miners.
The issue was his age and limited experience; he might not stir up much trouble.
But people can be trained, Lynn pondered, rubbing his chin. Since the magical field can simulate small universes, recreating some classic historical scenes shouldn't be a problem according to the computational power of the AI brain.
Events like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Wanggang Uprising, and the Huang Chao Uprising, there were plenty to choose from, just like completing a game level. It could quickly turn someone into a professional rebel.
Lynn accessed information on various peasant army uprisings in history, considering a modified version of the Daze Township Uprising for him!
