Lu Ran felt a little strange, didn't his parents give him a name when he was born?

"No name...... So what do you call it? ”

"This is my [birth symbol], but it does not count as a noble and great 'name', but it can be used to address me."

Lu Ran's "bronze" identity seems to have a certain status.

The demon girl in front of her was faintly carrying a kind of 'respect' in her speech and demeanor.

At the same time, the demon girl stretched out her right arm and engraved a strange symbol on her wrist, which was translated through the APP, corresponding to the character 'Ti'.

"Let's call you Xiaoyuan."

"Okay."

Xiao Yuan's body development is unbelievable, if you stand from a human point of view, Xiao Yuan's appearance age is between 15~16 years old.

"It's my first time in [Hell], can you tell me everything you know?"

Entrusting strangers to do things, Lu Ran also understands the tipping rules of foreigners, clicks on the inventory of the mobile APP, and chooses to take out an ancient gold coin.

Boom!

An ancient gold coin jumped out, and the whole was dark gold.

It was the first time Lu Ran had seen this kind of gold coin, with the head of a sheep-headed demon engraved on the front and a majestic building in the shape of a pentagram painted on the back.

"For you, is it enough?"

Lu Ran is still afraid that it is not enough, after all, if it is calculated according to the one-yuan coin of human society, this is not even enough to take the bus.

How do you know that when Xiao Yuan saw the ancient gold coin, her eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly, "It's enough...... Enough is enough! Lu Ran, if you don't dislike it, please come to my house. Mom and Dad were working in the mines, and I was the only one at home. ”

"Uh...... Good. ”

It may be that 'something is wrong with the mind', Lu Ran read another meaning of this sentence.

Xiao Yuan beckoned Lu Ran to follow her, and jumped to the stone house made of black stones with the ancient gold coins in her hand...... The interior layout can be described as 'extremely shabby'.

However, as soon as I entered the stone house, the temperature immediately dropped, and I felt like I had turned on the air conditioner.

Lu Ran was already too hot to walk all the way, so he immediately leaned on the black stone seat to rest for a while.

"Alien Prisoner, do you want something to eat? Grandma's fried pit worm just made today is still hot, do you need to have some? ”

"No...... No more! Let's get straight to the point. ”

"Okay."

Two hours passed for the two to talk, and Lu Ran understood a small part of the situation in the [Scorched Earth Prison].

First of all, Scorched Earth Hell belongs to the most superficial layer of Hell.

It can be described as the 'lowest' area, a gathering place for a large number of low-level creatures, but its existence is also significant.

The unique black iron ore in the [Scorched Earth Hell] is comparable to the importance of 'wood' in the human world.

Black iron has high plasticity, heat resistance and strength.

Even black iron ore of low purity can be used to build cool and sturdy houses, and most of the towns in the [Scorched Earth Hell] are built with 'black iron ore' as the main material.

The reason why Lu Ran didn't meet anyone along the way, and even in the mining town, he only met Xiao Yuan, was because the low-level demon residents who settled near the mine would work in the mine 12 hours a day once they reached the legal working age.

In addition, the [name] in Hell is only worthy of being possessed by high-level demons with noble bloodlines, and most demons only have one code name, and [name] has a special meaning...... In addition, this kind of hell is different from the perceived Western hell, and there is no taboo about calling names, and there is no such thing as 'calling names to scare away'.

When Lu Ran asked about the deeper hell, Xiao Yuan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know at all.

"I want to buy and sell items, do you have any shops in your town?"

Xiao Yuan hurriedly shook her head: "We are only a subsidiary town of miners here, and we can't buy and sell items, and even the ancient gold coins you give are very rare...... But I know where to buy and sell! ”

"Where?"

"[Northtown], that's the center of trade in our southeast region!"

"How long will it take me to get there?"

"It takes three days and three nights to walk...... If you are in a hurry, you can take the direct mine train to [North Town], which can be reached in six hours. ”

"Have you been?"

"I used to deliver goods with Abba and Auntie, and I went there three times."

"Well, I'll give you another ancient gold coin! If you accompany you to [Northtown], it will take about two days of your time. ”

"Good! Okay! ”

The value of the ancient gold coin was far higher than Lu Ran expected, and for the low-level demons, one ancient gold coin could be equivalent to the income of these miners for several months, or even a year.

…………

Half an hour later, Lu Ran and Xiao Yuan had already boarded the ore transport train to [North Town].

This demon girl is quite sensible, she understands the principle of giving money and doing things, and explains everything she knows to Lu Ran as much as possible along the way, and she doesn't care about Lu Ran's affairs at all.

There is no significant day/night cycle in Scorched Earth, but the temperature change is extraordinarily significant...... When night came, the overall temperature dropped directly to minus 20 °C, and the sweat on Lu Ran's body that had not faded turned into ice.

"This is Northtown?!"

The so-called [Trade Center] did not reach the scale that Lu Ran expected at all.

On the surface, it looks like a relatively large medium-sized town with gray stone bricks on the ground, but the whole is also dominated by houses built of black iron ore. However, compared to the miners' towns, these buildings are more elaborate and larger, with a kind of medieval European town style.

The current time is 19:50 in the evening.

Lu Ran needs to stay in the [Scorched Earth Prison] for two days, and sleeping on the street is dangerous, so it is necessary to find a safe and undisturbed hotel.

Lu Ran, who had just stepped into the town, found a three-story hotel with a good overall appearance.

Who knows, just after Lu Ran stood at the front desk to verify his identity, the boss didn't let him pay for the room and directly took out a key, "Bronze prisoner, the accommodation is free." ”

"Free?"

"That's the rule above, enjoy the life of hell to the fullest...... However, your slave is not free, and you will need to pay the standard fee to open another room. ”

Wearing sunglasses, some obese innkeepers naturally regard this poorly dressed female demon as Lu Ran's servant, after all, there are many prisoners who come to hell and have such a 'habit', buy a low-level demon with a good appearance at a low price, use it as a servant, and 'use' it at will.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly waved her hand, "I don't need to, I can sleep anywhere...... In the past, when I came here with Abba, we all slept in the alleyways of East Street. ”

In hell.

The "basic elements" that symbolize status, such as bloodline, status, etc., are far more important than "appearance...... Even if Xiao Yuan's appearance is already of the highest grade in Lu Ran's opinion, she is only a miner-born, the lowest-level demon.

This kind of low-level demon, in the eyes of other demons with status, exudes the [stench] of inferior blood, no matter how good-looking it is, it is only rejected.

Lu Ran signaled: "Follow me to the upper room first, if the room space is large enough, you will live with me." ”

"Good! Thank you, Jailer. ”

Lu Ran, who was walking in the corridor, had a calm expression.

But at the thought of cohabiting with such a demon girl, the body reacted immediately.

The rooms are located on the third floor...... This height is quite high in the town of North.

Exquisite one-bedroom rooms, also decorated in dark tones.

The floor of the entrance was covered with some kind of monster fur, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

The living room is furnished with a 'leather sofa' and a heating fireplace, a spacious balcony with a view of 'Northtown', and a specimen of a black goat's head hanging from the large, soft bed.
