Chapter 1 Daumont County

Marfa Continent, late winter of 323 New Civil Calendar, Domon County, Chris County, Uganda Province, Northern Kingdom.

Duomeng County is a standard mountainous county seat, and its agriculture depends entirely on the flat land around the river valley. Under the attacks of various wild beasts and monsters on the mountain every year, it can barely maintain the normal life of some people.The biggest source of income in Duomeng County is the mines. Most of the young and strong men, as long as they have a little strength, will work in the nearby mines.

And Domon County is also the only county in Chris County that has no towns nearby. There is only a lonely city standing in a valley and surrounded by surrounding mountains. The mountains are basically full of mines, and roads extend from the city gate to the mountains. .

At the gate of the Bianchi mine, Dole got up from the ground in pain, looked at the back of the Odoji who snatched the three Mafa copper coins from his pocket, and let out a sigh of relief, without regret or resentment, because There are still two Marfa copper coins left in his pocket, these two copper coins are enough for him to live for a day.The tattered clothes were full of dirt, and he looked like a dirt monkey at this moment.

Every morning, he would come to the Bianchi mine to smash stones. From morning to night, because of his thinness, he could only earn five Mafa copper coins. Five copper coins, basically equivalent to five adult coins. One-half of the income, eating ashes in the mine for a day, and being robbed of three copper coins when he came back at night, it is simply impossible for Dole to not be resentful.But he only has one person, and Odo has a few gangsters under him, and he is the son of Sam, a small steward in the mine. If he fights up and beats Odo, the job will be lost. Count on these few copper coins to survive.

Sighing, he patted the dirt on his clothes, and Dole rubbed his sore arm from being kicked, and walked towards his den with heavy steps.

The family was left by his father, and he was also absent from work. Two years ago, he got pneumoconiosis and died in pain. After his father died, his mother disappeared one night, leaving him alone, relying on his daily life Life in the mine was barely surviving.

It has been two years now, and the former lively and happy Dolle has long since died, leaving only the numb Doley who is struggling to live.

He is 12 years old this year, logically speaking, he is the age to go to school, but there is no school for him to go to.

The Bianchi mine is still some distance away from the city, and there is a market on the way. The miners buy some food here after get off work every day, and then go home. This market is also the largest market near the Bianchi mine.

Because Dole was robbed by Otto, he came back a little later. There was no one on the road, and it was quiet. He could only feel the noise when he passed the market.

As soon as he entered the market, a man walked up to Dolei, patted Dolei on the shoulder, and said in a low and tired voice, "Don't think too much, go back and have a good rest, and you have to work tomorrow."

Dole looked at the man, didn't speak, just nodded.

This is his partner who works with him. His name is Dodo Olemu. He is 30 years old this year. He has two four- and five-year-old sons. The whole family relies on his job to support them.

Duo Duo left, Duo Lai dragged his tired pace, came to the small stall that he often came to, carefully took out a copper coin, handed it to the aunt who sold rice, and said, "Three rice balls."

The auntie looked at Dole without much expression. She took the copper plate and put it in the drawer of the counter, and quickly wrapped three vegetable balls and handed it to Dole.

Dole lowered his head, stretched out his hands to take the vegetable balls, and said, "Thank you." His hands were shaking a little at this moment, because he was hungry.

Auntie didn't speak because he was busy and there were other people to greet.

Duo Lai came out from the small stall with the vegetable balls, tremblingly opened the vegetable balls, took one, and quickly took a bite.

Meatballs don't have much nutrition, but they're the single most affordable thing you can buy in Dollet.

Of the three vegetable balls, he had to eat two before he felt a little full, and the last one was left, which was food for a dog that he had picked up in the past two days.

Duo Lai felt like he was crazy these days, he was almost hungry, and he was about to starve to death, yet he still had the mood to sympathize with a dog.

But it's also strange. When Dole saw the dog for the first time, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He just wanted to raise him and let him live, even if he only let him eat once a day. survive.

Only by living can there be hope. This is what my father often said when he was alive.

Doré lived in a slum in Dormont City, not far from the gate of the city. When you enter the gate, you can see the left side of the avenue, and there are patches of low, dilapidated or even dilapidated houses.This is the famous slum. Garbage, sewage, and dirt can be seen everywhere on the ground, which looks dirty.No one cares here, there are poor people who don't have enough to eat, and even thieves rarely come here.

Near the avenue, there are rows of women standing at the door and posing everywhere. These women are ordinary in appearance, but they are easy to support. They usually only cost five copper coins a night, which is very cheap.Those women often stretched out their white thighs to Dole, but Dole didn't even look at it. He couldn't eat enough for himself, let alone help others, so he could only look at the door and enjoy his eyesight.

Back at the door of the house, he opened the door, and a gray, yellow, black and three-striped dog happily came out of the door. He took Tian Dolai's hand and took off with his tail wagging. Dolai threw the vegetable ball to him.

"Otto, go and eat."

He named the dog Otto, and he was still very excited. He didn't know what Otto's expression would be when he heard this.

Odo glanced at the vegetable ball, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then picked it up in one bite, and limped towards the room, wagging his buttocks and wagging his tail happily.

The room was very dark and there was no light. Taking advantage of the feeling, he walked to his bed and lay down directly. He only felt a sense of sleepiness attacking his heart. In less than a second, bursts of snoring sounded.

Not long after, Otto walked over from the corner, he didn't wag his tail this time, his eyes were full of scrutiny and solemnity, looking at the sleeping Otto, the dog's face was full of complicated emotions.

"Unexpectedly, my hell dog Baal actually survived on a few food balls. This world is really amazing. This kid only eats so much in a day, and I have to share a little bit. This magic dog is really touched. Forget it, in the Let's stay here for a while, and leave after recovering [-]% of your strength, this kid is destined for me, so he can give me some benefits."

The hellhound turned his head, looked around the room, and shook his head.

A small room, a bed, and no usable furniture in the house. This is Dole's home, and there are thieves visiting from time to time, which is hard for the child.

After staying here for a few days, although he was a little uncomfortable, Odo felt that he still owed the child something because he couldn't leave yet.

That's right, without those few broken vegetables, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive.

He became a little annoyed. If it wasn't for that bitch, how could he have lost to the three-tailed fox and almost died? Damn it, how could he make such a low-level mistake? died.

Thinking of this, the face of the dog of Hell Demon Hound was full of complicated emotions.

Seeing Dorai sleeping soundly, Odo the Hellhound opened his mouth, spewing out a multicolored light, and flew towards Dorai's brain.

This ray of light was very small, only the size of a thumb, and it disappeared quickly after touching Dole's forehead.

...

Dole doesn't know what's going on these days. He has the same dream every day. In his dream, he dreams that he has become a gentleman wearing strange clothes. Seeing every evil creature, this feeling is very magical, but also very powerful.

Chapter 2 Gold Mine

When he wakes up in the morning, that feeling will slowly subside, but it is strange, he feels that he will be very energetic, and his strength will increase a little.

In the past, Dolai woke up every morning and felt sore all over his body, as if he was dead. He would never have such a feeling at all. How should I put it, it was relaxed and joyful, as if his whole body was full of strength.

When did it start?It seems that it started on the third day after picking up Otto.

Dole thought about it, maybe he did good deeds, and God rewarded him.Thinking of this, Dole got up from the bed, checked his body, and found no major problems.

At this moment, Odo crawled over from the corner and licked Dole's palm and cheek.

With this thought, Dole liked Odo even more, and seemed to have less resentment against Odo who robbed him of his money outside. He patted Odo's dog's head, scratched it casually, and smiled. He smiled and said, "Stay at home, I'm going to work." He didn't care whether Otto understood or not, so he went outside to wash up.

In the middle of the slums, there is a half-meter-wide waterway. The water from the mountain flows down from above, passes through the slums, and flows to the Domon River outside the city.

Duo Lai washed his face, wiped it with his sleeve, and walked out of the city. After passing the market, he went to the store to buy three vegetable balls, and ate them all in one sitting before going to the mine.

When I arrived at the mine, Duodu had just arrived not long ago. After seeing Duolai, he said loudly, "We don't smash stones today. The leader said, let's go to the river to sift small stones today. Today we dug some colored stones." ore, and they let us sift through those stones."

Dole nodded and followed Dodo.

No matter what he does, as long as he has something to eat, his purpose is just to live.

The mine is very large, the entrance is a flat land, and the flat land is full of various stones. The work outside is to break open these ores one by one, smash them, and pick out the parts that have ores inside and put them together. Leave other rubble on the ground, and someone will take it all away.

The wages of miners working in open fields outside are not high, while the wages of miners in the mountains can be a little higher, about five times that of miners outside.But it is also very dangerous. People die because of various things almost every day, and the death is miserable. However, there are still many people who are willing to go to the mine, because the wages are high and the pension is also high. Even if they die that day, they will stay. Their wives and children can also be well taken care of, which is most of the reasons why they are willing.

Those who work on the flat ground outside, except for the old and the weak, and those who have only one labor force in the family are those who live alone, such as Dole himself.

Dole followed Dodo, and then some other people came to the river. Dole saw that there were a lot of small stones piled up by the river. Similarly, these stones are grayer, more dense, and look heavy.

After a lot of introductions, Dole realized that they needed to make these small stones smaller.

There are some small golden stones among the small stones. They need to filter out the golden parts, and don't care about the others.

Dole nodded. The two occupied a small section of the river and started to work. The content of the work was still smashing the stones with a sledgehammer. The difference was that today, instead of distinguishing with the naked eye, the stones were screened with a sieve.

This kind of golden stone Dole has also seen. This is real gold, but he doesn't have much greed. In the mine, gold ore is not very common, and the most common ones are iron ore, tin ore, copper ore, Most of them are iron ores, and gold ores only appear occasionally, and there are not many of them. There are also people who want to take these gold ores for themselves, but the end is generally miserable. There is a product of alchemy in the mine, which can detect a Whether there is metal on a person's body, and it is easy to tell if one passes by the door, so no one dares to do so.

Moreover, miners have no human rights. As long as they are caught on the spot, they will be demoted to slaves immediately and hung at the door for three days to warn future generations. The death was miserable, so generally speaking, no one would dare to do this.

Dole has been in this city for so many years, has seen many things, and has long been numb. All he has to do now is to survive as much as possible. Therefore, no matter what ore he has in hand, he will finish the work honestly and not provoke him. Yes or no.

Duo Duo and Duo Lai have worked together for a long time, and Duo Duo naturally knows what kind of person Duo Lai is. After seeing his expression, he grinned and said, "Go to work, I will give you a lot of money today. Give me the other copper coins that exceed five Marfa copper coins, and I'll take them out for you, let that bastard Otto snatch three if he steals them."

Hearing this, Duo Lai's eyes lit up, and his whole body changed from numbness to vitality, "Then thank you, Uncle Duo Du."

This was probably the best news I heard today. Dole was immediately full of energy, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength.

There are a lot of stones, and they need to be smashed into lumps with a hammer, but gold mines are different, he needs to smash them into pieces, Duo Lai has been smashing stones for several months, and he has already developed a good strength, so he picked up the sledgehammer immediately , began to find a place to throw stones up.

Small stones have this advantage. One person can complete the work. For large stones, you need to use a sledgehammer and iron brazing to divide them into small stones, and then slowly break them into pieces. This takes a long time. .

But there is no need for small stones, just put them on the hard ground and just hit them directly.

But after smashing for a while, the two of them smashed one by one, and the other began to screen, and cooperated tacitly. Soon after, there were some small yellow and orange metal pieces on the bank of the river, which were all gold.

There are overseers near the miners, but as long as you work hard, the overseers will not talk to you. Only those who are lazy and unwilling to work hard, the overseers will take care of them. The whip will come in handy. The leather whip is made of beef tendon that has been soaked in water. Once it is whipped, the skin will be ripped apart. The taste is very sour, so few people challenge the majesty of the supervisor.

About two hours after the start of work, the supervisor came to the two of them, took the gold away with a blank expression, and sent two small rice balls.

Due to the need for physical activity, absentees usually eat a lot, and the general mines will arrange meals, but there are requirements, they must be eaten quickly, and they will be taken away if they can’t finish. In this regard, almost all miners agree Very satisfied, which is why Dole likes to be in the Bianchi mine.

After wolfing down the meal, Dole felt stronger again, and Dodo started to work.

There is nothing new in the process of smashing stones. I sweat over and over again. Under the sun, everyone’s body is bronzed and their muscles are bulging. If it is like this, it will be no exception for many years.

The working process is very boring, and only when you see those yellow-orange particles when you sieve stones, you will feel a sense of accomplishment.

Chapter 3 Magic Crystal Residue

At the end of winter, beside the still somewhat icy river, Dolai didn't feel much coldness, and was steaming all over his body. While sifting through, he stared closely at the yellow and orange stones, for fear of missing one.

Sifting and sifting, Dole soon discovered a very strange phenomenon, that is, some shiny small stones always appeared in the ore that was sifted last.Generally speaking, gold has a high density and cannot be washed by the river water, so it will be left until the end, but what are these shiny stones?

After drying in the sun for a while, he poured out a lot of small shiny stones. Once again, he couldn't hold back, took one and put it in his hand, and looked at it.

The stone is all white, some translucent cube crystals, very beautiful, holding it in the hand, there seems to be a faint coolness seeping out, feeling this coolness, Dole's head felt a lot clearer, and he also I feel that this stone seems a little familiar, but I don't know where the familiarity comes from.

Feeling this, Dole knew that these small shiny stones were not simple, they seemed to be something extraordinary.

Because this thing is not metal, the mine will definitely not want it. When Duo Lai picked up the gold mine, he put these shiny stones in his pocket and prepared to take them back. He always felt that the breath of these stones was very familiar, but But don't know where is the familiarity?

With doubts, Dole continued to work.

When the sun slowly passed over the top of the mountain and the sky began to darken, he had already accumulated a bagful of small shiny stones.

get off work.

Going to get the money from the steward, I really got two extra copper coins. Dole looked around nervously. That guy Odo was not there, so he probably went to rob others, so he didn't care about it.He hurriedly handed over the extra two copper coins to Uncle Duodu.

The two exchanged glances, and soon came to the gate of the mine.

Dole walked past the instrument anxiously, but the instrument did not sound. He was relieved, but he ran into Odo and his party as soon as he came out.

Seeing Dole coming out, Odo came out in a sinister manner. Without saying a word, he pushed Dole down, and then several people rummaged on Dole savagely.

Doré didn't resist, because resistance was futile, he just calmly looked at Odo who stood high above him.

Odo arrogantly commanded his subordinates, looking at Dole, the corner of his mouth was full of sarcasm.

"Why, don't be convinced, don't be convinced and hit me."

"Damn bitch."

"Pooh."

The kid who pushed Dolle down and took the lead in robbing was only 14 years old. He had a big brain and was Odo's number one thug.

Seeing them leave, Wang Song touched his pocket, and he was relieved that there were still two copper coins left.

Today, Oduo can eat two vegetable balls, and there is still one copper plate left, which needs to be saved.

Thinking of this, Duo Lai felt very happy, and he didn't even feel much resentment when he was pushed and insulted.

Wiping off the phlegm on his body, he walked into the city like no one else was there.

In the case of Dole, dozens of cases happen every day at the gate of the mine, and no one cares about it.

When he came to the market, Uncle Duodu was already waiting for him. The two traded quietly, and then left tacitly.

He spent two copper coins and bought six vegetable balls. Duo Lai immediately ate four of them, then put two in his arms, and followed the flow of people back to the city. , the western sky is very beautiful.

Back at the den, as soon as Doré entered, Odo poked his head out with a doggy face full of doubts.
