168. Fanwai Eight
The face is sallow, the lips are slightly purple, the body is thin, the eyes are dull, the clothes are ragged, and the hair is unkempt.
This was the first impression he had of the miners when he entered the mine. They are the complete opposite of the clean world out there. It's like light and darkness are out of place.
All of them were numb and mechanical, doing rough work. Even the emaciated woman ran round and round with the barrel on her shoulder.
"You see, you have weights on your handcuffs. Only those who work the most are fed every day. Go, filthy pariahs. The head of the guard pushed the two into the mine.
The topography of the mine is peculiar, with no caves and no deep pits. Only an upward mound stands in the middle of the mine, flanked by artificially mined ravines. Workers come and go carrying buckets of pale green, semi-mushy liquid.
Walking into the mine to get the tools, Dilis asked curiously, "What are they digging?"
"Who knows. Hey, look over there. Elsa gestured to the strong man diagonally opposite.
"Well, why is he here? and where is his companion?"
"Who knows, go over and ask. ”
Dilis walked up to the strong man and patted the strong man on the shoulder, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
The strong man turned around and scratched his head, "Who are you?"
"I?ah, I'm sorry. Dilis took off his disguise.
After seeing the true face of Dilis, the strong man took a few steps back and asked with a dark face, "Have you ever been to the forest?"
"No, what's going on there?
"Grace, did Grace say the same thing as you?
Diriss noticed that the strong man's eyes were glazed, and Diriss asked again, "Hey, tell me what's wrong with the forest first?"
"Crying, it's crying. ”
"Who?"
"Noguera, crying. After speaking, the strong man stopped what he was doing, lowered his head and walked to the other side.
Dilis was just about to stop him, but Elsa grabbed him by the arm. Elsa glanced at the overseer not far away.
Dilis bent down and began to dig the soil with the shovel in his hand. Elsa on the side just held a stone in her hand and kept shaking.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Weigh me. This thing counts according to the weight of your hand and the frequency of its shaking. Elsa bent down and pretended to work.
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, I would still be lying in bed right now. ”
"Young man, I wipe your face with mud and accompany you as a laborer, are you still not satisfied?"
"Contentment, contentment. Hey, I'd like to go up there, a piece?" Dilis gestured to the raised mound. He saw that everyone was carrying buckets down from above, and then loading the contents of the buckets into containers at the edge of the mine.
"Go, go, go see what's there, come back and tell me. Elsa waved her hand.
Carrying the shovel in his hand, Dilis walked down the road towards the mound. Following the crowd, Dilis made his way to the top of the mound. He discovered that it was not a mound, but a mine. Deep in the mine was a pool of green, glowing liquid, and the miners had ropes tied around their waists and buckets in their hands down the walls of the shaft, filled with liquid, and climbed up.
The green liquid had a strong strange smell, which to humans might just be the smell of the liquid itself. But Dilis knew that it was the smell of blood, the smell of dragon blood. This mine is full of dragon's blood!
The dragon race is a race that is free from the three worlds of gods, humans, and demons, although the dragon race is small in number, but it is born with strong magic and hard armor. The steaming mine in front of you is not used to mine ore, but to boil dragon's blood.
Dilis was stunned when someone slapped him on the ass from behind. Diriss turned his head, and it turned out to be a little girl with two pairs of horns standing behind him.
"You're in my way. ”
"Are you a demon?" Seeing the pair of iconic horns of the demon, Dilis felt a little strange. Why is such a young demon kid here?
"You're in my way. The girl ignored Diris, and continued.
"You're so small, why are you here?
Faced with a series of questions from Dilis, the girl raised her head and roared milkily: "You are so annoying! You want to be hungry, I don't want to!
"Where are you from?"
"Chimeige" Kamet glanced at Dires and continued: "Human, don't look at me as small, I'm more than a hundred years old. ”
"Chimeg? that's the territory of the Gagrilla family. Dilis crouched down and looked at the girl and said with a smile.
"Hey, you human, you know so much. ”
"I am a traveler who has traveled to the Demon Realm through secret passages. ”
"The Demon Realm is great, isn't it? There is no such black mine in the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm will not cook dragon soup, and the Demon Realm will not make the little girl hungry. Karmit said, clutching her stomach. The gurgling sound in her stomach made the girl's face flush.
Diriss smiled, took the bucket from Kamit's hand and said with a smile, "I'll help you get down." You don't have to worry, I'll give you my share when the meal is served in a while. ”
"Really, you're a human, it's really weird, they know I'm a demon and they hide away. What's your name?"
"Diris"
"Yes, Dilis. You're my little brother to Kamit. When it comes out, I'll take you to the demon world to eat and drink spicy. ”
"Hahaha, how did you get out of the Demon Realm?"
"Hehe, I accidentally recited the wrong spell and opened the door of the realm. Kamet scratched her head in embarrassment.
Dilis got up and shook the bucket in his hand, "Okay, I'll go down and stand on it and wait for me." ”
"Uh-huh"
Elsa, who was sitting next to the ravine, was bored playing with the stones in her hand. Hearing footsteps behind her, Elsa turned her head to find Dilis holding a girl's hand and looking at her.
Seeing the girl, Elsa frowned, "Where is the child?
"Acquaintance from above. Her name is Kammit. ”
Elsa took a closer look at Kammit's face, pursed her lips, and turned around with a soft snort.
"What's wrong?"
"No, I hate demons. Say, what's going on up there?"
"A cauldron of boiling dragon's blood. ”
"Oh, boiled dragon's blood?"
"Hmm. ”
"I can't figure out what Grace is trying to do. Hey, little demon, how long have you been here?"
Kamit said with an unhappy face: "What is small, I may be older than your grandmother." I've been here for a long time, and I don't know how long. ”
"Do you know where they sent those dragon bloods?" asked Dilis.
"I don't know, but every once in a while, weeping is heard behind the high wall of the mine. ”
"Crying? Who's crying?"
"Noguera"
As soon as Kamet finished speaking, a tragic and tragic voice came from behind the high wall. Dilis's eyes locked on the wall. He didn't expect that the first task as a brave man would become a little complicated.
