Chapter 10: A Bloody Case Caused by an Attribute Stone (Part II)

For most people, repeating the same action for a long time is undoubtedly a very boring act, as can be seen from the rotten spirit of the miners in the pit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoTheir work reminded Roque of some factory workers in his previous life, although they repeated the same action every day, but most of the workers lived peacefully, not like these miners, whose rotten breath was rotten to the bone.

The fundamental difference between the two may be the difference between the class system.

In the past life, although there were nominal kings, presidents, and the like on the earth, the function of these positions was only equivalent to integrating the needs and expectations of the people of the entire country to make decisions. It does not have complete dominion over the people's personal property or even their right to freedom.

The nobles and slaves on the continent of Anais, the lord of a country and the commoners are completely master and slave. The former occupies 99% of the resources of the entire continent, and the remaining 1% of the resources have to be exploited from the latter, the upper class lives a luxurious and comfortable life, and the lower civilians such as miners can only stay in the dark all day long doing boring and hopeless work, not that they do not want to change, but the road ahead has been blocked, no money, no resources, no strength, and no dignity, and the only thing they have is their own broken shell.

The Walking Dead was their image, the emptiness was within them, and now—a glimmer of light appeared before their eyes, insignificant to the dazzling sun, but enough to drive them completely insane.

"It's an attribute stone!! That little girl, she ...... Excavated the attribute stone!! When Jack saw the small piece of magic that exuded alluring magic under the feet of Milou, who looked bewildered, he realized that his opportunity had come.

Jack's shouts caused the entire First Quarry to fall into a deathly silence for a short time.

The miners, who were still wielding iron pickaxes just now, silently stopped their movements and walked towards Milu step by step with a bloodthirsty aura that was almost comparable to that of a monster.

"You...... What are you going to do? This attribute stone was discovered first...... I'm not going to give it to you! Where had Milou seen such a terrible sight, even if a vicious monster appeared in front of her, at most it would make her turn and run away, not like now, the chill that rose from the bottom of her heart gradually froze her body, and she couldn't even take a step.

The scene in front of me was like a pack of hungry wolves meeting a fat sheep, and this sheep was just a lamb. Roque thought.

"Delivery...... Come out...... Handful...... Attribute Stone ...... Hand it over! One of the miners closest to Milu had bloodshot eyes and yelled at Milu in a hoarse tone.

"Delivery...... Come out! Another miner behind him roared in the same way.

These people have been longing for so long that they themselves no longer believe in miracles, but when miracles do appear in front of them, they sadly find that the object of miracles is not themselves.

Never mind.

It's not your own, just grab it.

Don't they do it often?

It's just a few people who died.

As long as you can grab the treasure,

My life was immediately different.

Food.

Wealth.

Right.

Status.

Belle.

Even a powerful force,

will all have.

You only need to kill a few people.

……

Jack never imagined that he would be what he is today.

The energetic young man full of sunshine back then seemed to be just yesterday.

And today, for a chance to make himself a human being, he decided to let his hands be covered in blood, whether it is a man, a woman, a good man, or a bad person. Anyone who stands in your way will be killed!

So he struck.

With the iron pickaxe in his hand, which had dug up an unknown amount of ore, he smashed it into the nearest worker.

Blood splattered.

A body collapsed with weakness.

Jack has an inexplicable sense of excitement for some reason, as if the 'it' in his heart has been waiting for this moment for thousands of years!

Roar! Roar!

Why do they eat the meat that they have snatched from us, and drink the best wine, while we can only live all day in this dark pit for that pitiful food?

Why can they learn magic, practice swordsmanship, and wear equipment that we can't afford for the rest of our lives, while we can only wear shabby clothes that have not been worn for a few years, and are wantonly crushed by them.

Why is their blood precious, ours dirty, their dreams as cheap weeds as worthless, and our little hope as unattainable as the crown of the World Tree.

Just because we are inferior pariahs?

Just because we don't have the power?

Just because we're kind?

Then we'd rather go to hell,

Bathing in blood,

Sing the praises of death,

Tear the mask of hypocrisy,

Build this filthy slaughterhouse,

You say we don't have that power?

Out of the way. Because we'll have it soon.

Even if...... It's a power stained with sin.

Jack frantically brandished his pickaxe, and for a moment there was no one standing in the entire quarry except for Roque and himself.

As for Milu, she was already stunned by this astonishing change.

“…… There are just a few of you left. Covered in the blood of his fellow workers, Jack smiled at Milu like a demon from hell.

"No...... No!!! ”

A sword flash flashed.

Jack suddenly realizes that his horizons have been reversed.

What's wrong?

Why do I feel like I'm flying?

Oh, it turned out to be my head flying.

…… It's ironic.

Dad, Mommy, Jenny, Love, I can finally see you, I miss you so much......

In the last moments of his life, Jack seemed to see his long-departed relatives, smiling and waving to him.

I'm coming.

……

Jack's head finally hit the ground, and there was a dull thud that seemed to hit everyone's hearts.

Roque put away the frost and snow, walked to Mi Lu, dug out the attribute stone that had been splashed with Jack's blood, felt it, and said, "Good luck, it's a fire attribute stone." Our task for today has been accomplished. ”

Roque paused and continued, "If you still want to stay here and continue digging, I'm fine, but ......" Roque looked at Milou, "I think we'd better go back and sleep first." ”

Kurto silently picked up Milou, who couldn't move, and followed everyone on the way home.

……

Walking out of the dark pit and looking at the gloomy sunset in the sky, Roque touched the attribute stone in the bag and sighed: "This blood ...... It's still hot. ”
