Chapter 122, called "smart" boy
Red Mine Town, located next to the extinct volcano "Red Mine", once developed rapidly for the minerals under the Red Mine, but now it is just a small town with a small number of people in the cold.
The town was enlarged by the gold miners, so the town was large and the roads were intricate, but there were too few people in the town to maintain the buildings, and many years later, many places have fallen into disrepair, leaving only ruins.
Because countless miners disappeared back then, people now think that this is an unfortunate place, so few people enter the red mine town, and those who can afford it have left the red mine town, resulting in a serious aging population, food shortages, and it is extremely difficult for newborns to survive.
Everyone agreed that if there was no adventure, Red Mine Town would have become a dead city in a hundred years at most.
Luo Xiao walked with the boy for half a day, and finally came to Red Mine Town.
In fact, Red Mine Town is not far from North Red City, and with Luo Xiao's speed of using his magical powers, he can reach it almost in the blink of an eye, but this time he did not use his magical powers, but advanced at the walking speed of a boy, so it took half a day.
"Ahead is Red Mine Town. ”
The boy said, pointing to a building not far away.
Luo Xiao nodded, and from a distance, he could feel the silence in the town.
This silence is not the eerie silence of the North Red City, it is purely because the Red Mine Town is too big and the population is too small.
Luo Xiao cast his divine sense to check it, and found that most of the people in Red Mine Town were old and frail and children of minors, and there were no young adults, maybe they all went out to earn money.
One of the things that Yanzhou is better than Zuzhou is that in the territory of Xia Kingdom, there is no large-scale forest, so the towns can be directly traveled on foot, and it is unlikely that they will be attacked by demonic beasts, at least it is far from leaving the city like Zuzhou is equivalent to stepping into a coffin on half a leg, so it is common for young and middle-aged people to leave their hometowns to work in other places to earn money.
The boy led Luo Xiao into the Red Mine Town, and said, "There are many mine entrances in the innermost part of the town, I will take you there, you must keep your promise." ”
"Of course, I'm not interested in lying to you. Luo Xiao replied casually, while looking around.
He, an outsider, seems to have attracted the attention of many people in Red Mine Town, and secretly a lot of eyes fell on him, with curiosity, jealousy, and greed in his eyes...... , and so on.
Among them, a mischievous child held a slingshot, aimed at Luo Xiao's head, and prepared to launch.
Luo Xiao suddenly glanced at the child holding the slingshot, and the projectile on the slingshot suddenly turned into a rubble of dust, and after the child released the rubber band, not only did he not shoot the projectile, but he was also coughed by the dust.
In such a depressing place, it is too difficult to give birth to a kind person.
Luo Xiao looked at the boy who led the way, his heart moved, and said, "Little friend, what's your name?"
The boy paused, turned to point at himself, and said, "Me?"
Luo Xiao said: "We are very fateful, let's exchange a name with each other, my name is Luo Xiao, what about you?"
The boy grinned, revealing eight white teeth, and said, "Yuan Congming, my name is Yuan Congming." ”
Luo Xiao smiled and said, "Smart...... Good name!"
"Actually, it's just that my dad wants me to be smarter. ”
Luo Xiao laughed: "It seems that your father's wish has not been fulfilled." ”
Yuan Congming thought that he had sold a diamond ore for two hundred not long ago, and he couldn't help but blush, and defended: "That's because I want to get the money quickly, so I didn't think about it." ”
"Oh, you need money so much?" Luo Xiao said curiously.
Yuan Congming looked at the sky and said in a firm tone: "I want to raise money, as long as I have a lot of money, I can travel all over the world, and I can go to find the Dragon Ball that can fulfill my wishes!"
A trace of surprise crossed Luo Xiao's eyes: "Dragon Ball?"
Yuan Congming's eyes widened and glowed, and he said like a treasure: "Yes, you don't know, it is said that there are seven incredible beads in this world, as long as you find them, you can summon a divine dragon, and the divine dragon can grant any wish!"
As he spoke, he took out a dirty drawing from his arms and said, "Look, this is the Divine Dragon!"
Sure enough, the figure above the drawing is the figure of the dragon, and even the charm of the dragon has a trace, and the studio of this picture does not seem to be an ordinary person, maybe a magician who is proficient in this way!
"Dragon ......"
The corners of Luo Xiao's mouth curled, and the arrangement half a month ago finally began to ferment.
After all, the legend of the dragon is still spread in the Xia country, and the Xia Emperor knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had to order people to draw a sketch of the dragon and spread it all over the Xia country, as the first country to make a wish to the dragon, their Xia country name will follow the dragon to be famous all over the world!
And it is said that a new law will be promulgated soon, and the divine dragon will become the totem of the Xia Kingdom!
Luo Xiao looked at Yuan Congming and asked, "Then do you have any wishes you want to come true?"
Yuan Congming was silent for a while, and said, "When I was very young, my mother starved to death, and my father also gave me the last bite of food three years ago, and then he also died...... Many people around me have had similar experiences, all of them are fatherless and motherless like me, so I want to beg Shenlong so that no one in the world will starve to death, and no one will lose their parents. ”
What a simple wish!
"Hehe, this wish is ridiculous, isn't it?" Yuan Congming smiled self-deprecatingly, it was really surprising that such an expression would appear on the face of a teenager.
Luo Xiao said: "No, it's not ridiculous. ”
Before going to the fairy world, the so-called immortality is not also an ignorant and ridiculous wish.
All those who have dreams in their hearts, but do not dream of unremitting struggle, are not to be laughed at, no matter how unrealistic this dream is.
The two walked to the entrance of the mine.
Yuan Congming said: "I picked up the original mine here, the old people in the town said that you must not go in, they said that there are devils in the mine, I didn't hear it, and I didn't encounter anything, but I did walk to many people and never came out, so before you go in, you still have to think clearly." ”
Luo Xiao smiled indifferently and said, "There is no place in this world where I can't go." ”
Yuan Congming was stunned.
This faint sentence made him feel a lot of pride in his heart.
Where is the world so big?
"By the way, it's time for me to pay you, but maybe I can pay you better than money. Luo Xiao took out a crystal clear dragon ball from his sleeve, "Of the seven incredible beads in the legend, I happen to have one here." ”
Yuan Congming's eyes widened: "What?!Is this true?"
His eyes were attracted by the brilliance of the Dragon Ball, which radiated more light than any gem, and it seemed that a divine dragon could be seen flying in the sky, was this the Dragon Ball?
Luo Xiao said with certainty: "Of course it's true." ”
After the divine dragon fulfilled its wish, seven dragon balls were launched in all directions, and one of the dragon balls landed in the Luo family compound.
This Dragon Ball is different from Dragon Ball, it does not require a one-year recovery period, after all, the principle of making a wish for the two divine dragons is also different.
Luo Xiao also wanted to test Yuan Congming, so he took out a purple card of 50,000 yuan, shook it in front of Yuan Congming, and said, "There is still the reward we originally agreed on, so ...... Do you want this dragon ball, or do you want this fifty thousand?"
Dream vs. reality, what is your choice?
Yuan Congming hesitated for a moment, he didn't ask for the Dragon Ball or 50,000 pieces on impulse, but thought seriously for a while, and finally he chose ......
