Volume 1: Age of Dawn Chapter 9: The Crimson Throne
Chen Kaiyu rushed all the way to the slum, his head was already extremely dizzy, his stomach was churning endlessly, and he was holding on all the time.
He is now very happy and very grateful for his good fortune.
I actually tracked down a strong man with unknown strength, and the most important thing is that she was not discovered. Moreover, it seems that he has also obtained a treasure.
Fortunately, so many years of crisscrossing the wilderness have cultivated Chen Kaiyu's rich tracking experience, otherwise, if he is discovered, he may really have to meet the cold death.
It's really unseemly, I thought that the exotic woman named Xuanya was just a little maid.
Can...... This also sounded a wake-up call for Chen Kaiyu, whether in the city or outside the city, he must be extremely careful, and vigilance must become the first instinct.
Looking at the familiar simple house, Chen Kaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and he knocked on the door.
For a long time, the door was not opened.
Could it be that Chen Xiaoyue went out to pick up things, or went to the wilderness......
This is not the picture Chen Kaiyu wants to see, he just wants to see the girl quietly hiding in the house and waiting for him.
He pushed the wooden door and found that something seemed to be blocking it, and the heavy wooden door could not be pushed open.
"Sister, it's me, are you in there?" Chen Kaiyu said in a deep voice.
After another long silence, the wooden door was opened a crack, revealing a pair of graceful eyes.
"Come on ......"
Chen Xiaoyue opened the door, Chen Kaiyu flashed in, and then the door was slammed shut.
"You're going to the wilderness?" Chen Xiaoyue scolded, her eyes seemed to hide an angry lion cub.
"Hmm...... Sister, I'm ......" Chen Kaiyu said timidly.
Looking at Chen Kaiyu's pale and weak face and vain body, her heart ached.
"You're going to have to tell me wherever you go, do you hear? Otherwise, hum ......," she said, pretending to be majestic.
"Understand, understand, you are the biggest in the family, I promise to report where I will go in the future." Chen Kaiyu said awkwardly, "I was scared to death just now, why did you open the door so late, I thought you went to the wilderness to find me by yourself?" ”
"Hmph." Chen Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "I almost went, but unfortunately the city was closed today, and the major streets were full of people patrolling the Tianfeng Guards and the Split Party, so I couldn't go anywhere." ”
"Whew...... That's good. ”
Chen Kaiyu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
"Here, I caught a bloody lizard beast, sold it for thirty yuan coins, bought some fire earth rice, and ten more, all of which were handed over to the public......
He took out a small bag of fire earth rice from his bosom, and took out ten white source coins and placed them on the broken table.
"Oh, you rest, I'll cook for you." Chen Xiaoyue didn't look at the food, but looked at Chen Kaiyu, whose eyes were red and swollen, and said with concern.
"Well, I'm a little tired, I'll take a break."
After speaking, Chen Kaiyu lay on the hard wooden board and fell asleep.
Chen Xiaoyue began to get busy.
……
A splendid hall, except for a few bronze and wooden pillars standing proudly, the hall is empty.
No, at the topmost level, there is also a huge Crimson Throne.
On the throne sat an incomparably majestic figure, which was more majestic than majestic...... Or obesity.
In times of scarcity, the vast majority of the untouchables are skinny and hungry.
It's really hard to imagine what kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas can cultivate such a huge number of people.
The huge fat man in a blood-red robe exuded a violent aura, and his face was hideous.
Directly below the throne, a man in black was half-kneeling.
"So, can't you find the source of miracles?" The fat man writhed as he turned the gold diamond ring on his thick fingers.
"My lord, Her Highness buried it in the agreed location under the Pump River, but when she went there, she found that it was already empty, and the miracle was nowhere to be found."
The man in black shuddered.
If Chen Kaiyu was present, he would definitely recognize that this man in black was the one who popped out after the battle between Huo Si and the Great Golden Tooth before.
"Are you kidding me?"
A breath like a storm erupted from the fat man's mouth and swept through the entire hall.
"The water of the pump river is heavy, and it is supported by miracles, so unless we use our secret method to move it, ordinary people must have the majestic power to move this great river that spans half a planet, you say, who will it be? Is it the gods who are joking with us? ”
As he spoke, the big fat man let out a cold and weird smile.
The man in black was silent, his head hung all the time, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
"Please forgive me!" He continued to humble himself.
"Well, this seat has been secretly planning this plan for more than ten years, and among them, Operation Miracle is the most critical and the last. However, in the end, the bamboo basket was empty...... After more than ten years of dedication, Taoguang is obscure, and it is ......"
The throne seemed to be talking to itself, but anyone could hear the murderous intent lurking in his tone.
"Chief Executive, you say, can you destroy the small five-nation alliance on the eastern seaboard, and let those tens of millions of untouchables stain my throne red and appease my anger?"
The big fat man said awkwardly, his expression distorted and weird.
"My lord, do this...... It's going to make that organization find something different, and then our decades-long plan will really fail completely. The man in black knelt down and said, "My lord, you say, could it be that the remnants of that clan took away the miracle?" ”
"Huh?" The fat man smiled coldly.
"Only that clan can sense miracles, and that's good for us, but we'll have to wait a few more years......," the man in black seemed to reassure.
"I've been waiting for decades, how can I not wait for this time, notify all the subordinates who are hiding in the east, and evacuate soon."
After a short period of thought, the big fat man gave orders and looked calm.
"Yes."
"."
"The subordinates retired."
When the main hall is calm.
"That family? It's getting more and more interesting. ”
The voice seemed to come from the sky.
……
Chen Kaiyu woke up in a daze, he shook his drowsy head, looked at the sky outside through the window, it was approaching night.
A rich aroma of porridge rushed into his nose, which aroused his taste buds.
"Using the old woman's method before, after boiling slowly, it was finally done."
Chen Xiaoyue glanced at Chen Kaiyu, who woke up, and said lightly.
"How many materials are left to make a fire?" Chen Kaiyu felt the warmth in the room and asked.
"It's almost gone, I hope I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow." Chen Xiaoyue said.
"How many days will the food last?" Chen Kaiyu asked again.
"With those ten source coins, it should last a week." Chen Xiaoyue replied expressionlessly.
This is the real living condition of countless untouchables on this continent, where there is always a food crisis.
