Sand Sea City, the city of sin.

It is located in the southernmost part of the human race and the northernmost part of the orc race, at the junction of the two races. To the east of it is a boundless ocean, because the sea water at the edge of the coast is turbid and the sediment is accumulated, which is why it has the name of "sand sea".

Because it is located between the two ethnic groups, located near the sea, and has convenient transportation, the economic development of "Shahai" city is extremely rapid.

However, what is surprising is that this city is so rich, but there is no city lord in charge.

Although this place is at the border of the human race and the orc race, the funny thing is that whether it is the human race or the orc race, they dare not interfere in the jurisdiction of this incomparably rich area.

In fact, the reason why the two tribes did not dare to govern is also very simple, while the sea has brought great development, it has also brought many vicious pirates.

Not only pirates, but also because the "Sand Sea" is located on the edge of the human race and the orc race, there are many criminals under no jurisdiction.

It is no exaggeration to say that the "Sand Sea" is actually a city of sin.

However, although it is a sin city, because of the people of various races living here, the human race and the orc race have each sent a part of the army to defend it, in order to prevent the relationship between the two races from further deteriorating.

After all, the truce between the orcs and the terrans has only been seven years.

Peace is the greatest wish in the hearts of all people.

To this day, the rapidly developing city of Shahai is still as prosperous, noisy, poor and bloody as ever.

In a rich place, there must be poverty, the law of the jungle, and this world is so cruel.

Outside the gate of Shahai City, several brightly dressed boys and buddies were instructing their respective retainers to frantically beat several figures lying on the ground at this moment.

There were many onlookers, both human and orc, but none of them stepped forward to stop them. Because, this kind of thing is too much in Shahai City.

"Bah, damn garbage guy, dare to stop my son from entering the city, Ah Da Ah Er, give me a beating. At the edge of the city gate, one of the sons covered his nose with his sleeve and scolded angrily.

"Yes, that's right, the body smells so strong, and you dare to stand in the way of our insect boy, I really don't know whether to live or die. Beside him, the rest of the boys chimed in.

After calling it, he regretted it.

Because, he saw some orcs with bull heads on their heads, and they were all red-eyed at the moment walking towards them with heavy steps.

Clearly, they were angry.

And what worries Brother Gongzi the most is that on their waists, each of them has a bright giant axe. The eerie blade of the axe frightened them and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Cut, it's really self-defeating. In the crowd of onlookers, someone whispered.

"That is, who doesn't know that the Niu people have some special flavors, and they dare to speak wildly, they really don't know how to write dead words. ”

"That is, this is the most chaotic sand city, and there are not too many things that come out of the mouth. ”

In the crowd, people of all races whispered and did not dare to criticize loudly. The cow temper of the cattle people is not a joke.

Soon, the scarlet liquid splashed with a wail of extreme fear.

"Grandpa, it's so chaotic and terrible here, why are we still here?"

At this moment, a childish child's voice was suddenly caught in the chaotic wail.

Outside the crowd of onlookers, an old man in ragged clothes with many patches on his body changed his face suddenly, turned around and quickly picked up the child who was holding his thighs and trousers, and then lifted the square wooden box next to his feet on the other side, and hurriedly walked away.

It wasn't until he was away from the crowd that he put the child down.

"Grandpa, why don't we go and see the excitement, but come here?" the child had just landed, and he grabbed the old man's trouser leg and asked.

The child was not very old, he looked to be about six or seven years old, and he was dressed in old clothes full of patches, just like the old man.

Although the whole person looks thin and small, the warm baby pupils on the immature little face stained with a little mud are extremely smart.

The old man looked at the child for a moment, then glanced nervously at the crowd in the distance, and after finding that no one cared about them, he stretched out his hand and pulled the child's immature face.

"Little stone, this is not in the temple, they are all gathered together by their own families, they can say anything, this is Shahai City, if you say it wrong, you will die." The old man explained patiently.

He didn't blame his grandson either, after all, it was the first time he had brought his child into the city. Before, Xiaoshi had been growing up in the temple, and he rarely stayed too far away from the temple, and it was normal to be ignorant.

"But those people were hacked to death. Xiao Shi blinked, stretched out his immature little finger and pointed at the crowd in the distance, and his whole body was trembling.

He has always lived in the temple, where has he seen such a bloody scene?

If you don't shiver, it's not normal.

"Little stone, you have to remember that we are just ordinary people, ordinary people who can barely survive themselves. After a pause, the old man continued: "I named you Little Stone, just in the hope that you can survive as tenaciously as a stone, and that we can hide as far as we can in life-critical matters."

The big people have the way of living of the big people, and we small people can only follow the way of living of the little people. ”

Xiaoshi didn't say anything, just stood in place with his mouth pursed, and looked at the old man in a daze.

Although he was young, he also understood what his grandfather said.

Survival is the greatest desire in everyone's heart.

And it is this desire that he has lived to this point.

He remembered that his grandfather had said that he had picked it up in the snow. When I picked it up, my whole body was stiff, like a hard ice cube, and it was bitterly cold.

If it weren't for the inadvertent wriggling of his little mouth that was purple from the cold, I am afraid that he would have been buried as a dead man a long time ago. And he survived tenaciously with that breath and that will.

That's where his name comes from.

Stone stone, tenacious and determined.

The old man shook his head, stretched out his hand and touched the child's little head, sighed, and said softly: "Little stone, didn't you ask me why we still want to come here because it's so terrible here?"

"Hmm. ”

"Because, it's rich here. The old man sighed. Shahai City is the richest city within a radius of 10,000 miles. He came here with his grandson just to make some extra money.

The old man is a musician, a wandering musician who holds various instruments and plays them in various places.

"If we play here, we must earn several times as much as anywhere else. ”

"Money?"

"Well, money. The old man nodded, "As the so-called danger and opportunity coexist, as long as we have money, grandpa will be able to buy you clothes and delicious food." ”

As he spoke, the old man squatted down and gently wiped the stains on the little stone's face with his wrinkled palm. looked at his grandson's tattered clothes again, and couldn't help but feel guilty in his eyes.

"But, it's dangerous here..."

"It's okay, grandpa is here, grandpa won't let anyone hurt our little stone. The old man laughed, picked up the small stone directly, gently placed it on his back, and then pulled out the square wooden box under him, and walked slowly towards the city gate.

Inside the wooden box are some of the old man's favorite musical instruments.

Little stone, you are a gift from heaven in Grandpa's most desperate moments.

Grandpa, I'm going to do everything I can to raise you.
