Luo Xiao walked on the streets of Beihongcheng, and there were guards at every intersection, and they kept an eye on the pedestrians on the road, as if everyone was a criminal.

The streets were lifeless, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the people who came and went were always silent with their heads bowed, no laughter, no singing, not even a smile, and people walked very fast, as if there was something urgent.

All indications show that this and Zuzhou are two worlds!

Zuzhou is a world without royal power, and each city develops freely, although the degree of development is different, but it has long been rid of the backward and chaotic situation like the Northern Red City.

However, in the Xia Kingdom of Yanzhou, where the royal power is ruled, if it is in the center of the Xia Kingdom, the prosperity of those boundaries is better than that of Donghai City, but in the Northern Red City on the edge of the royal power, it is not so lucky, it is full of evils and mixed fish and dragons.

Not long ago, the prince of Xia sent someone to govern here, which has only improved slightly, otherwise it will only be more chaotic here, and maybe no one will care about killing people and mating on the street.

"Boss, this is a very good gem, how can it be only a hundred!"

At this moment, a slightly childish voice suddenly sounded, especially loud in the silent street.

Luo Xiao's attention was also attracted by it.

Looking up, it turned out that the voice was from a boy in front of the shop, the boy looked to be about ten years old, with an inch of hair, dirty clothes and some patches.

But most notably, the boy was holding a black stone half the size of a fist, and the stone was inlaid with a crystal clear diamond!

The shopkeeper said earnestly: "Little brother, the color of this gemstone is not good, and it has not been polished, you must know that the raw materials of these gems are not rare, and the real treasure is the polishing technology." ”

But the look of excitement in his eyes showed that things were not as simple as he said.

North Red City, what a city full of deception!

The boy was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to know how to do it, and after staying for a long time, he said, "In any case, a hundred dollars is still too little, but I risked my life to dig it out of the mine under the volcano." ”

The shopkeeper was surprised: "The mine under the volcano!!, you are lucky to come back alive, okay, I will give you two hundred." ”

In the end, as if to praise and sympathize with the boy, the purchase price was raised from the original 100 to 200.

The boy happily accepted the two hundred pieces, and then handed the diamond ore in his hand to the shop.

"Wait. ”

At the moment when the shop owner took over the raw ore, a voice suddenly sounded.

Luo Xiao walked to the front of the shop and said, "Little brother, I can give you 10,000 yuan, how about buying me the diamond ore?"

Ten thousand!

The boy was stunned.

The shopkeeper was in a hurry, hurriedly brought the diamond ore, and said, "Eh, friend, I've already bought it!"

Yes, it's been bought, and it's too late to regret it at this time.

“......”

The boy regretted in his heart, if he waited a little longer, he would have gained 10,000 yuan instead of just 200.

Luo Xiao smiled slightly and asked the boy, "Do you have any similar raw ores?"

The boy shook his head.

"So do you know where you can get the same raw ore? If you tell me, this ten thousand pieces will be yours. Luo Xiao had an extra purple crystal card between his fingers.

The boy's eyes lit up, and there was only the crystal card in Luo Xiao's hand in his big eyes.

The shopkeeper suddenly said: "Friend, this raw ore came out of the mine under the volcano, but I advise you not to go, although sometimes you may get gem ore, but most of the time, you will never come back." ”

Then, he changed his words and said, "If you want this piece of raw ore, I can sell it to you for only 50,000 yuan." ”

50,000 yuan!

The boy looked at his boss angrily and said, "Didn't you say this is worthless?

"Buying and selling are two different things, kids. The shopkeeper glanced at the boy with contempt, and after sneering, he continued to look at Luo Xiao with a smile.

"No need. ”

Luo Xiao rejected the shop owner, then looked at the boy with a sad and angry face, and comforted: "Eat a trench and grow wise, don't be deceived next time." ”

The boy was silent: "......"

Luo Xiao patted the boy's head and said, "Okay, take me to a place where I can find these raw mines, if you pay ...... Mention it, how about 50,000?"

The boy looked at Luo Xiao excitedly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

After speaking, he took Luo Xiao's hand and ran towards a certain outside of the city.

The shopkeeper looked at the backs of the two, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "In these years, there are so many fools who don't want to die. ”

There is an extinct volcano outside the North Red City, there is a small town under the mountain, called Red Mine Town, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, the people of this town make a living from mining, many years ago they found a crack at the foot of the volcano, and opened a mine road based on that crack, the people of Red Mine Town have collected countless rare ore resources under the volcano through this mine road, so the people in the town are very rich.

Countless people heard the news and went to the red mining town, all wanted to share a bowl of soup, so the famous red mining town gold rush was formed, many people settled in the red mining town in order to mine, so the red mining town is getting bigger and bigger, and has the potential to become a city.

The good times didn't last long, people kept digging into the bottom of the volcano, and suddenly one day, all the people who went to mine disappeared, and none of the people who went to investigate after that returned, and people finally realized how bad the situation was, the mine road that once brought countless wealth to the Red Mine Town, like a monster devouring all the miners!

Since then, no one has gone into mining anymore, and countless people have moved out of Red Mine Town, leaving only those who have no ability to move to stay, and they have multiplied to this day.

To this day, people still believe in the legend of the mine road in Red Mine Town, because of the hundred people who entered the mine to pick up the leaks, almost ninety-nine never returned, and one could come back, and if they were lucky, they could pick up one or two gemstones, but those gem ores were almost exchanged for ninety-nine lives, and no one would do such a loss-making business, so people today would rather believe in that legend than send someone to find out.

"He actually went to the mine in Red Mine Town!"

On a city tower, Red Rose looked at Luo Xiao's back with a telescope, and a trace of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She could lip talk, and just by watching, she knew Luo Xiao's conversation with the shopkeeper and the little boy, and naturally she also got the information that Luo Xiao was going to the mine in Red Mine Town.

A man with a mage's wand stood beside Red Rose and muttered, "Could it be that he's the last person we've been waiting for?"

Red Rose pursed her lips and said, "Maybe, where is the leader?"

The man said: "The leader said that there is a change in the mine road today, and he wants to go and see for himself, and now it is estimated that he has arrived in the red mine town." ”

"Then we ......"

"The leader asked me to stay here. ”

“...... What a pity. ”
