Chapter 129: Ore Town

Ore Town, a bustling town located directly south of the capital.

As the name suggests, the town has several productive mineral veins, and relying on the rich local mineral resources and geographical location, it is much more prosperous than those remote villages and towns, and there is an endless stream of caravans, so the taverns and inns and other industries in the town have also flourished, even more than many small towns.

Of course, no matter how prosperous it is, it doesn't seem to have much to do with some people in the town...

Dirty, messy, dilapidated ...

It's an ugly "scar" in the northwest corner of Ore Townβ€”chaotic wooden houses, crowded streets, rancid sewage, thin figures in the shadows, with greedy eyes...

This is the so-called slum of Ore Town, where the poorest and most humble people gather.

As the saying goes, wealth is always in the hands of a few.

Ore Town also follows this universal law, ninety percent of the wealth brought by the prosperous trade each year ends up in the pockets of the nobles and adults, and the remaining scraps are divided among the small merchants, partly for the livelihood of the commoners and miners, and the last fraction is the most basic ration for the survival of the slaves.

As for the poor ones who lost their land, and who could not afford to work to support themselves?

Then you can only struggle painfully in this corner of deliberate hope, wait for some hope to appear, and then successfully get out of here, or rot in some unknown dark corner, and finally become a rare delicacy in the mouths of those scavengers.

This is where the emaciated boy named Alan lives now, and as a helpless orphan, it seems that this is the only place where the entire Ore Town can accommodate his fragile and humble life.

However, today this poor teenager has experienced a thrilling experience that he has never had in his whole life.

First, he went out to collect wild fruits and met a giant wolf, but when he thought he was dead, two powerful and beautiful women suddenly appeared to save him.

And then, he was brought to the side of a group of distinguished adults who were obviously traveling with a private army by two beautiful women who were as agile as the Assassin Lords.

Next, there is an unusually gentle big sister who takes care of him, although he doesn't understand why this big sister asks himself a lot of common sense.

Perhaps, this noble lord is passing through Ore Town for the first time to go to the capital? Anyway, that's not what he, a humble orphan, should care about...

"My lord, this is Ore Town!"

Out of an inexplicable mood, Alan did not take Dong Xuan and his party to the more prosperous East Gate, which was normally open to caravan travelers, but to the West Gate, which was closer to the slums.

He was a little apprehensive, not knowing if his actions would anger the young man next to him, who was probably an aristocratic man.

But he had to do this again.

Hunger, this demon has tormented his fragile body all year round, and only a few wild vegetables he has eaten for a few days is obviously not enough to give him a body that is beginning to grow and develop rapidly, he can already feel the extreme weakness under the longing and tragic reality that seems to spread from the depths of his soul, and even further feel that the faint shadow of death has hung over his fragile body!

Although he had just gotten some food from his kind sister that was so delicious that he would like to swallow his tongue, it was clear that he wanted more!

"As long as you pretend to be pitiful enough, and then take the initiative to provide guidance to these adults, you should at least reward me with a white coin, right?"

God is pitiful, the largest denomination he has ever obtained in his life is only the lowest level of red coins, and there are only a few, and the white coins equal to a hundred red coins are already the biggest dream in his heart.

As for the more valuable gold coins, it was something he couldn't even think of, because he knew very well in his heart that behind each gold coin there were countless souls, and poor Alan obviously didn't want to be one of them...

"Is it there?"

Looking at the chaotic and dirty streets, Dong Xuan raised his eyebrows and took a deep look at the young man who obviously showed a little weakness.

Obviously, he was aware of the boy's simple and almost straightforward thoughts.

However, the boy was obviously very lucky today, for some reason someone who was in a good mood did not intend to care about this little scheming, but directly bent his fingers slightly, and a white object instantly took the turn of the boy's arms.

"Take me to the best hostel in town"

Dong Xuan slightly accentuated his tone on the best two words, and the boy who was able to support himself to such a big age could obviously understand the meaning of his words.

"Okay, okay, sir!"

He nodded hurriedly and with some trepidation, and immediately led the group to the alley on the left.

This is obviously a shortcut to the real bustling area, and within a few minutes, Dong Xuan and the others saw the soldiers blocking the end of the intersection as if they were guards, and... The world behind him is bustling with great prosperity...

Unlike the slums, where you are constantly watched by hungry and crazy eyes, the neighborhood at the end of the road feels like another world.

At first glance, the straight stone road is clean and refreshing, and the well-tended plants on both sides of the road sway in the wind, and every place reveals a unique atmosphere of order.

Dong Xuan especially noticed that he didn't know if it was because the local area itself was rich in ores, and there were a large number of blacksmith shops on both sides of the street.

However, he paid close attention to it, and he suddenly found that the weapons in these shops were all ordinary goods with inferior craftsmanship, not to mention the expected special energy attribute weapons and equipment, which were even much inferior to the weapons and armor used for camouflage on those artificial soldiers.

This undoubtedly disappointed him a little.

Obviously, at least trying to meet those local energy equipment here that I don't know if they exist is completely hopeless for the time being.

"Maybe the next capital will surprise me a little..."

He thought silently in his heart.

Ignoring these years that began to spread infinitely, the young man who was pointed out by someone in his heart, like a wisp of thin ice, suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After a few turns, the group came to a building with an obviously extravagant decoration compared to the surroundings.

Looking at the big "Rose Hotel" signboard at the door, everyone was suddenly shocked, the hotel, finally arrived...
