Chapter 37: Reimstown
CHAPTER XXXVII
Reims Town is a beautiful and fertile small city, the most famous here is the so-called hot springs, pure natural mountain springs without any alchemical drugs, to ensure that everyone can use the hot spring water is the purpose of their hot spring business - no wonder.
There is a kind of magic stone called the fire kang stone, as the name suggests, it is like a fire kang in the countryside, and whenever you sit on it, it will unceremoniously roast your buttocks, so it is often wrapped in moist soil for transportation.
The price of this magic stone is quite cheap, more than a little cheaper than other magic stones that are also fire types, plus it is extremely easy to use, the thumb-sized stone can boil a pot of water and can be used many times, it is an indispensable thing for many explorers who climb snowy mountains.
However, ten years ago, after a certain sage of the empire identified that this magic stone contained a large number of harmful substances, and improper use could easily cause leakage and endanger human health, this magic stone was banned from being used in any industrial development and daily life.
This made many manufacturers miserable, and it was the same that at least half of the spa hotels in Reims went out of business.
But human beings are the kind of creatures that care more about immediate interests than potential crises in the future.
As a result, the magic stone with this name has been used by some people to this day.
…………………………
"Hey! What's going on! This is different from the price that was agreed at the beginning! ”
His withered weed-like hair was tied back with a strip of white cloth, and his clothes were patched, and he was very thin throughout, with slightly sunken cheeks, and it was obvious that this was a child living in a slum.
"Who told you that we disposed of it because it was unsafe for you to hold so many contraband, these two copper coins were for your pity and let you buy some food, don't toast and don't eat and punish wine!"
This is a man who is nearly two meters tall and fat, and behind him is a small cart that looks like a toy-style compared to him, and a cart of fire kang stones covered by a worn sack, which is all the sweat of Sisola's efforts during this time, although even she knows the danger of this kind of thing, but people die for money, birds die for food, let alone a human for food.
She took a step forward to continue her theory, but she panicked when she saw that the man was holding a wolf-sized hound, baring his teeth and drooling, with a fierce expression.
"At the beginning, you told me that it was three silver coins and asked me to help you bring something in from outside the city, but you didn't tell me that it was a contraband like a fire kang stone, and I spent so much effort and risked being caught by the city guards to bring it in batches, so it makes sense that you shouldn't be harsh on my little money."
Three silver coins are only a few hundred yuan after the price is converted into yuan, which is not worth mentioning at all for a person who opens a hot spring restaurant, but for a child in the slums, this amount of money is enough for her to easily live for a few months.
Or buy a beautiful floral dress and eat a delicious meal.
"! Just these two copper coins, do you want to love a little rabbit cub!! ”
Raisisola lowered her head in the face of the adult's tricks, her eyes covered by no luster of hair.
Diana's birthday is still a few days away, and although she herself has no consciousness of celebrating her birthday, as her only friend, she still has to at least celebrate.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk to help transport contraband. Remember last year when Diana said she wanted to eat hot pot, right?
This year, no matter what, she wants to make this wish come true!!
At all costs!!
He took out the flint and steel from his pocket and threw it hard at the wheelbarrow.
"Boom !!!!!!!!!"
Sisola, who had been stabbed by the white flames of the explosion, couldn't open her eyes, and she lay quietly on the ground waiting for the heat to hit.
Her goal is very clear, that is, the money bag on the man's waist, she just saw very clearly that there are at least four or five gold coins in it, with this money, not to mention a hot pot, it is enough to open a small shop!
What kind of shop to open, hot pot restaurant? Or a rotisserie? No, no, it's easy to accompany money in the catering industry, so let's open some stores that make a steady profit and don't lose enough money, and it's good to have a grocery store or something.
Thinking of this, Sisola laughed involuntarily, and a smile full of hope for the future appeared on her face.
Soon the scorching heat swept in, and she got up from the ground in a stream, leaving little time for her to be heard in at least a third of the entire town of Reims, not to mention the patrols.
All she had to do was immediately take the money bag that belonged to her and walk away in style. But is it really that smooth?
The smile on Cisola's face froze as if it were frozen frame, and she froze for a second, and then without saying a word, she threw her two thin legs into the forest not far away.
The fire kang stones that exploded in a small cart were obviously not borne by an ordinary person, but there were many ordinary people on this continent. The dark yellow fighting spirit was retracted from his body, and a haze hung on the face of the tall man who was somewhat obese.
"Go! Tear that dead girl apart! ”
With the release of his right hand, the hound instantly turned into a black whirlwind and chased into the forest. If he could, the middle-level swordsman would like to tear the slum girl apart with his own hands, but the current situation makes him have to leave this land of right and wrong immediately, and the strength of the patrol team can still do it if he wants to entangle him.
Sisola was desperately trying to escape, she knew that the man would not give up easily, if she knew that it was an intermediate swordsman who borrowed a few guts from her, she would not dare to do it, she now regretted why she didn't leave those two copper coins honestly.
"Wang !!!!"
A dog barking instantly combed the cold hairs on her back, it was the hound! Sisola didn't look back, that kind of behavior would only make her die faster, she ran out of the park and stalked around the slums, and if she got there, she wouldn't have looked at her miserable death.
But right here, her physical strength was no longer enough to support her to continue to escape. The hound, apparently aware of this, slowed down and slowly approached Sisola, intending to make her die of fear and fear, its hair scorched from the explosion just now.
Not only the master's orders, but also its own desire to bite the culprit to death is also very strong.
Sisola staggered to her knees due to lack of physical strength, and she hugged her head and neck with both hands.
