Chapter 41: The Mine Slave Village and the Hot Air Balloon (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

Early in the morning, under the leadership of Li Mo, Xiao Li and his party came to the mine of Kaiyun Island.

Located not far from the foot of an active volcano southwest of Kering Island, the mine has grown into a small village with up to 500 miners living there because of the long life of the miners.

As Xiao Li and his group approached the village, a young boy who was only five or six years old and unkempt came running quickly.

He held a small hammer in his hand, handed it to Xiao Li, who was walking in the front, and asked expectantly: "Brother, are you here to buy farm tools? As long as you buy a farm tool in my store, you will give a small hammer!" said the little boy with an innocent smile.

"Brother, come back quickly!" a little girl hiding in the corner of the village said anxiously when she saw that there was no one else.

Not only was she anxious, but even Li Mo felt very anxious when he looked at it, and he smiled at Xiao Li: "My lord, this is a bad habit in the mining slave village, generally the people who come here are ordinary people, they usually come to work or buy farm tools, so the children in the mining slave village have this habit." ”

"Why do they refine weapons?" Xiao Li asked as he looked at the small hammer in his hand.

"My lord, this brings us to the two previous rulers. Li Mo said with a hint of resentment: "Before that, the entire mine was jointly governed by the James family and the Haitian faction, and they did not send people to mine themselves, but grabbed mine slaves from other places. ”

"They don't send people to watch, but they contract the mine to some powerful people on the island, commonly known as 'mine heads', and then set a monthly task to come and collect at the beginning of each month. ”

"As for this kind of illegal mining theft, as long as it is not too excessive, they will turn a blind eye, and gradually, the village has developed into this. ”

Li Mo added: "However, they can only refine some rough tools, such as hammers, broadswords, and hoes, and they can't forge them if they are more refined." ”

After listening to Li Mo's answer, Xiao Li nodded thoughtfully, but an idea popped up in his heart to bring them under his command.

Although there are many refining shops on Kering Island, their forging ability is far inferior to that of Chongtian Island, and it belongs to the kind that can make weapons but cannot forge industrial products.

The same is true of these folk refiners in the Mine Slave Village, but they have a lot of experience in refining, and with a little training, they may be able to forge exquisite weapons.

The Chongtian Island fleet has just recruited a large number of soldiers, and the demand for weapons is very high, which is also Xiao Li's purpose.

If you look a little farther ahead, the Mine Slave Village can be transformed into a smelter, providing a steady stream of steel for Chongtian Island.

Thinking like this, Xiao Li was suddenly full of energy, and instructed Li Mo: "I need to gather all the refiners on Kaiyun Island and build a smelter, and this matter will be handled by you." ”

"I won't let you down. Hearing this great plan, Li Mo agreed without hesitation, and then he pointed to the volcano five kilometers south of the mining slave village and said, "My lord, there is a volcanic hot spring halfway through the volcano, do you want to go and experience it?"

"Oh. Hearing this, Xiao Li immediately looked at the active volcano that was emitting thick smoke, and became more interested in the volcanic hot spring, and said to Li Mo: "Lead the way ahead." ”

Li Mo happily agreed, explaining the history of Keyun Island and the eruption status of this active volcano along the way.

After listening to it, Xiao Li realized that this active volcano had not erupted for more than two hundred years, which reminded him of some volcanoes on the Blue Star, such as Mount Fuji and so on......

Although Li Mo is not a competent head of the family, he is really not bad at pleasing people, and under the vivid explanations along the way, everyone unknowingly arrived at the volcanic hot spring halfway up the mountain.

A volcanic hot spring pool with an area of about 1,000 square meters appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the steam like a fairy gas continued to rise up, looking quite a bit of a fairyland scene.

Xiao Li jumped into the volcanic hot spring directly, with a look of enjoyment on his face, obviously very satisfied with this volcanic hot spring.

Jayden was also interested in the novelty of the volcanic hot springs, but after smelling the smell of sweat on his body, he decided that he might as well not go down to defile the hot springs.

The people on the shore waited for a while, only to see Xiao Li climb ashore satisfied, he took off the T-shirt, revealing a pair of six-pack abs that did not match his handsome and handsome appearance at all, and then the T-shirt was wrung out, and he walked halfway up the mountain to look at the entire Kering Island.

Kaiyun Island has tens of thousands of square kilometers, and even though his eyesight has been greatly improved after being promoted to the peak of the Spirit Disciple, he still can't see the end at a glance.

However, the mine, five kilometers away from the foot of the volcanic mountain, can be seen quite clearly.

It was an open-pit mine, where countless ants were busy at work, using iron picks to extract the ore and then carting it to a warehouse in a slave village.

After a bird's-eye view of Kaiyun Island a few times, Xiao Lizhong already had a rough plan, and then saw that it was getting late, so he said to everyone: "Let's go down the mountain." ”

When Li Mo heard this, he took the lead in running ahead to open the way, and after the explanation when he came, he had more confidence in himself, and he still explained endlessly.

Seeing that no one responded this time, he turned his head to look back, but saw that the handsome and handsome adult had not moved an inch, and was standing halfway up the mountain thinking about something.

Then he saw a large basket with a large ball of fabric suddenly appear on the ground, which startled him, and he quickly turned around, pretending not to see anything, and continued to walk in front of him, and the explanation in his mouth still did not stop.

But his heart was already full of panic, he had discovered such a big secret, wouldn't he be killed by that adult, right?

"Li Mo, where are you going? Why don't you come up quickly?" Rhys looked at this 'hot air balloon' curiously, and yelled at Li Mo.

Hearing this, Li Mo's heart was like a frightened bird, and he returned to the halfway point of the mountain again with a frightened and complicated mood.

"My lord, this is the 'hot air balloon' that can fly as mentioned in the books?" Rees was already surprised by his own island owner's mysterious ability to transform into things out of thin air, and asked curiously at the moment.

"Yes. Xiao Li nodded in response, but his hands were busy working, and after igniting the device on the wooden basket, the giant ball cloth slowly inflated, and in a moment it became a huge balloon floating above the ground.

"Come on. Xiao Li said to everyone, and immediately fumbled for the use of the hot air balloon.

After a while, the hot air balloon carried everyone up to a height of 10,000 meters and flew towards the starting point island.
