Chapter 157: Little Boy Hanston
"Later, once again, he was chased by a demonic beast and accidentally went deep into the heart of the forest, inadvertently entering an underground ruin. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But there are many magic traps in the ruins, and my grandfather can only move around the periphery of the ruins, and only found this short spear. When he came out, he wanted to organize people to explore again, but he couldn't find this ruin. We used to take this short spear to be identified, but they were all regarded as ordinary hard iron short spears, and they were so old that they were worthless. But my grandfather was convinced that this spear had incredible power, because it was the spear that allowed my grandfather to get out of the ruins and the forest. ”
"In that case, your grandfather should have taken this spear and looked for it again, how could he not find it? "Ace has an active mind and immediately thinks of a certain question.
Fang Zhen didn't speak, just recalling the history of the Rain Forest. But after looking for a long time, I only remember that the rain forest was named from three thousand years ago, because it rains all year round, natural plants are extremely rich, monsters and beasts are everywhere, and those historical relics are some man-made temples of recent times. Overall, nothing special.
At this time, the stall owner answered Ace's words.
"My grandfather thought of this too, but the power on this short spear, as if gone, lost all sense. So it looks like it's just a little old, but it's just a very ordinary hard iron short spear. The stall owner touched the crack in the spear and sighed softly.
"The power on the short spear?" Hearing this, Fang Zhen looked at the short spear and entered into contemplation.
With Fang Zhen's spiritual sense, he did vaguely feel an imperceptible power fluctuation at the tip of the short spear blade. This was an unfamiliar power fluctuation, so it aroused Fang Zhen's curiosity.
"That said, you don't know the value of this short spear?" Fang Zhen asked the stall owner.
The stall owner nodded helplessly.
"Then you still sell it for 10,000 gold coins for that price, and you still say that it is not the same price!" Fang Zhen teased a little.
Hearing this, the stall owner was a little gloomy, and said, "My grandfather died of illness five years ago, and before he died, he told me that you must not sell this short spear, because it is the key to recovering that mysterious place. If I hadn't needed money urgently, I wouldn't have put it out. ”
"Oh, how long have you been selling this short spear? Fang Zhen quipped.
"This ...... Two, two years. The stall owner lowered his head and seemed to blush a little.
"You can't sell it for two years? You still dare to sell it so high! Will you do business at all? You still dare to set up a stall in the Taowu District, isn't it quite expensive to collect rent?" Fang Zhen asked half-sarcastically.
"Because my grandfather used to be friends with the owner of the Taowu District, my stall was handed down by my grandfather and I don't charge any rent. The stall owner's voice seemed to be much lower.
"This short spear is useless, so you can take it and sell it to me?" Fang Zhen leaned on the chair, looking like a consumer victim.
"Well, that's not what you said you wanted me to do. "The stall owner is in a bit of a hurry. She had already mustered up the courage to dare to come and sell the short spear alone, and now listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that she didn't want to buy it.
"That's right, I called you here!" Fang Zhen spread his left palm, vibrated his words, and said, "So I bought it!"
Then, Fang Zhen's left palm suddenly clenched, and after opening it again, a purple gold coin flew out of his palm and fell onto the table in front of the stall owner.
When the stall owner was stunned, Fang Zhen took the short spear from her hand and smiled with satisfaction.
But this smile, no matter how you look at it, is a bit mischievous.
Not to mention that the stall owner blinked his stunned eyes in a daze, and even Ace opened his mouth slightly, a little stunned.
"So, Mr. Solomon, you ...... Did you really buy it?" the stall owner's voice trembled slightly, and he carefully picked up the purple gold coin.
"What, don't you want to sell it?" Fang Zhen asked amusefully. Looking at the reaction of the stall owner, Fang Zhen "succeeded in his treacherous plan", and he was in a very good mood.
"Oh! no, no, no! I sell, I sell. Thank you, Mr. Solomon, for your generosity!" the stall owner jumped up with excitement, and quickly put away the purple gold coin, his eyes smiling.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, helping others is the foundation of happiness, and I often help my grandmother cross the street. Fang Zhen shamelessly praised his merits, and suddenly his voice changed. "But I have two conditions. ”
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "What conditions?"
"First, can you tell me why you need this money so much? 10,000 gold coins is a sum that a commoner can't earn in a hundred years, and a hunter may not earn it in fifty years. As soon as you offered the price, it was 10,000 gold coins, didn't you ......" Fang Zhen narrowed his eyes and said.
The stall owner lowered his head, and after a while of silence, he said, "I have a younger brother who has always been very weak, and he was sick for the first two years and has been lying in bed. I went to a lot of doctors, and they all said that my brother's constitution was already weak, and a single illness could break him, and although it could be treated, it could not cure him. At that time, I just wanted my brother to get better, so I took out all the money in the family to treat my brother. The younger brother was also cured as he wished, but he often fell ill and his body became weaker and weaker day by day.
One day I went to the priests of the Magic Temple, and they said that my brother's vitality was declining and could not be treated, and that he could not be cured of his illness until he went to the Healer's Guild and bought a bottle of life magic potion. But even the lowest-grade life magic potion was sold for 5,000 gold coins in the Healer's Guild, and at that time, the family had no money, so I had to sell the short spear that my grandfather had handed down. But no one wanted it for two years, and my brother is getting weaker and weaker now. I, I could even feel like my brother was going to die at any moment. Woohoo......"
At the end of the conversation, the stall owner was so emotional that he was already crying.
With a sympathetic look on his face, Ace took out a handkerchief and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner didn't look at it, and directly snatched it to wipe his tears.
Ace laughed wryly.
When the stall owner turned his face, turned his back on them, wiped his nose with a handkerchief, and arranged the scarf covering his face, he turned around, thanked Ace, and returned the handkerchief to him.
"I see, the Life Mana Potion is indeed quite expensive. The Church of Nature's price for Life Mana Potions is maintained at a minimum of 3,000 gold coins. This is the Aslan Empire, and there is no Church of Nature, so of course the Healer's Guild will raise the price of Life Mana Potion. However, you must know that the Life Mana Potion may not be able to make your brother heal!" Fang Zhen touched his chin and said.
"I know, but I have to try! My parents were killed in the Rain Forest seven years ago. My brother is my last relative, I can't lose him, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will save him. The stall owner said gloomily.
"What's your name?" Fang Zhen looked at the stall owner quietly for a while, and suddenly asked.
"My name is Diruo. The stall owner, that is, Diruo, replied.
"You're a girl, aren't you?, why do you always wrap your headscarf around and cover your face?" Fang Zhen asked.
Ace was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes rolled a few times before he looked at Di Ruo, who was still covered in disbelief.
"I, I'm just here to protect myself. It's complicated in the shopping area, so I keep my face covered in order to avoid trouble. Di Ruo said slowly.
"I see!" Fang Zhen nodded, looked at the white skin next to Di Ruo's eyes, and knew it in his heart.
"Mr. Solomon, the second condition?" Diruo was probably most concerned about the deal at hand.
"Take me to see your brother. ”
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the middle of the night, the moonlight was not so bright, and some shadows of the trees could still be faintly illuminated, and the evening breeze weakened, whispering the dimness of the moonlight.
Fang Zhen and Ace followed Di Ruo to a civilian area.
Compared with the economic zone, high-end residential area and rich area, there are ten civilian areas in Thundering Grass City, each of which is larger than the other areas, which shows that the population economy of Thundering Grass City is not developed.
There are many buildings in the civilian area, and they are generally very tall, perhaps because of the large number of civilian population, so almost every civilian area is a group of high-rise buildings.
"This is your home, why do you want to live in the basement?" Fang Zhen followed Di Ruo into the basement of a high-rise building, and found that although this basement was relatively spacious, the ceiling was five meters high, and the entire basement was like a hall. There are also a few doors.
"It's not because there's no money. By the way, my brother has been lying in bed for the past few years because of his weak health, you wait a minute, I'll help my brother over. After Di Ruo finished speaking, he was about to enter the room.
"No, let's go in with you. Fang Zhen waved his hand.
Di Ruo nodded gratefully and entered his brother's room, followed by Fang Zhen and the others.
The room was filled with a strong smell of herbs, the lights were on, the ceiling had several skylights, and the air was ventilating outward, and a little boy was sitting on the bed inside.
"Sister, you're back!" the boy smiled happily when he saw Diruo. After seeing Fang Zhen and the others, he said with a smile: "Hello, is it the medical doctor brought by my sister?"
Seeing the little boy's innocent smiling face, Fang Zhen felt compassion in his heart and said, "Yes, let me see your physical condition first." ”
After speaking, he ignored Di Ruo and the little boy's reaction, walked over, took the little boy's hand and began to probe his condition with his mental power.
Although Di Ruo didn't have time to introduce the two, seeing that Fang Zhen was so active and enthusiastic, he couldn't help but take two steps back, give up some space, and stand side by side with Ace.
Ace glanced at Di Ruo secretly, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Because the little boy actually called Di Ruo his sister just now, Di Ruo's gender has been confirmed.
At this time, Fang Zhen had already come to a conclusion after a short mental force scan.
"Your life force is slowly draining, and it seems that you were born that way. Fang Zhen let go of the little boy's hand, touched his chin and said.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Solomon, my brother was born less than a month old, so he was born weak, and he has relied on some herbs to survive all these years. Diruo said and gloomed again.
"Sister. The little boy bowed his head, equally gloomy.
"What's your name?" Fang Zhen said to the little boy.
"My brother's name is Hanston. Di Ruo hurriedly introduced.
"Hehe, I'm asking your brother. Fang Zhen looked at Hanston's pale and wry face and chuckled.
Di Ruo looked down and smiled a little embarrassedly when he said this.
"You guys go out first! I'll check Hanston, there should be a way. Fang Zhen said.
"Ahh
"My mentor said that there is a way, so let's get out quickly. Ace hurriedly pulled Di Ruo out of the room.
Although Di Ruo was already half convinced, he still glanced at the little boy worriedly a few times, and walked out with Ace.
When the door closed, the light shining through the ceiling window, Fang Zhen pulled over a wooden bench and sat down. He said, "Hanston, it's been a hard time. ”
"Thank you Mr. Solomon for your concern, I haven't worked hard in the past few years, but I have made my sister hard. Alas, it's all because my body, which is as weak as a dead corpse, is always prone to illness, and the medical expenses alone cost me all the savings left by my father, so that my sister wants to live in this basement with me. I, I'm sorry sister. At the end, Hanston closed his eyes in agony.
"How old are you this year?" Fang Zhen suddenly asked out of bounds
