"How about we go to Grand first?" Xia suggested.

"Hmm. Ophelia was clearly a little absent-minded.

Naturally, it was another half a month of urgent travel, and Xia and Ophelia arrived at Afary.

As soon as Xia Shi entered the city, he was welcomed by the people. People were very enthusiastic about the cold and warm.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular here!" Ophelia looked at the pomp and circumstance, feeling especially happy for Natsu.

"I've done a little bit for the people here, and I can't think they've been thinking about it all along!" Natsu explained to Ophelia.

"Adventurer, you're back again, come to the City Lord's Mansion to rest. The city lord who greeted him in person shook Xia's hand cordially, "You guys go and order the preparation of the meal!" The city lord hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

"The city lord is polite, this time I came mainly to mine pig iron and stone in the waste ore veins of Gran. Xia explained the intention.

"No, no, no, adventurer, you can't go to that abandoned mine! it is rumored that there are monsters in it!" the city lord hurriedly persuaded.

"Monster, what's the point?" Xia was puzzled.

"It is rumored that there are often screams of human pain from inside!" the lord frowned.

"It's just a scream, as for you, the city lord...... you're so cowardly," Ophelia couldn't help but say, seeing the city lord's frightened look.

"Who is this?" the lord of the castle looked at Ophelia, who was as beautiful and lovely as an elf.

"This is my partner, she's the leader of Shinrikyo, do you know Shinrikyo?" Xia asked.

"Shinrikyo, a huge religion in the sky, you are the leader!" the city lord had an incredulous expression.

"Where is this, he is talking nonsense, do you think that the leader of a huge organization of the Truth Cult will be a little girl. Ophelia glared at Natsu.

"That's right, it's unlikely. The lord pondered.

"I'm just going to talk about it casually, by the way, City Lord, what did you say about that Glan Ruined Vein?

"I also heard from an old man that he used to be a miner somewhere. Later, because of the haunting, I started to talk some nonsense, and now I may be mentally a little abnormal. We'll dine first, and then we'll take you over to the old man. The city lord stretched out his hand to ask Xia to get into the carriage.

"I'm not mentally normal, but I have a way. Ophelia looked at the city lord.

Natsu stepped up, got into the carriage, reached out and took Ophelia, and pulled her up.

In such a small town, the food is naturally not very tasty. At Ophelia's strong request, the lord of the city led the way to the old miner.

Afari Slum.

Musty slums, potholed ground filled with sewage. From time to time, you can see some large rats passing through the streets, and there are no people on the streets. People are hiding in the shaky and shaky houses on all sides, watching cautiously through the windows.

"How can this be so miserable!" Ophelia couldn't stand it.

"It's mostly unemployed, most of them were miners in the Glen mines, but since the weird things happened in the Glen veins, many of them have died, and some of their descendants and survivors have been forced to sell their businesses and move to the slums. The lord said, "Now I live mainly on the food I have allocated. As you know, Alpha City isn't rich, and that's all I can do. The city lord was also helpless.

Indeed, it can be seen from the size of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord has always done things for the city of Alpha with all his heart, and has not sought personal gain at all.

"Actually...... Eh, it's also very chaotic here, and there are often incidents of people taking food from others......" the castle lord sighed.

"Summer ......" Ophelia pulled the sleeve of Laxia's shirt.

"I understand, after I've seen the old man. "Natsu naturally knows what Ophelia is thinking.

"Arrived, where it was. The lord of the city pointed to a dilapidated wooden house, and on the broken wooden bench outside the wooden house, an old man sit.

"Hey, hey, hey, so golden!!, we're rich!" the old man looked strange, and looked extremely distorted by greed. "Quick, run, the people inside the coffin have crawled out!ah! don't kill me!" the old man had unkempt gray hair, and his face was wrinkled together in fear.

"Old man, old man, do you know what happened to the Gran Mine?" asked Natsu.

When the old man saw Xia, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and shouted that there was a ghost!

"Who are you? Don't bully grandpa!" a girl of twelve or thirteen years old came out of the wooden house, the girl had beautiful long hair, big and bright eyes, watery, and her clothes were white and clean although her face was tattered. Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he had already begun to take shape, barefoot, questioning Xia and his party. But when he saw the city lord, he immediately became respectful.

"Uncle City Lord, who are they?" the girl looked at the City Lord.

"Wei Ya, they are here to treat grandpa. The lord stepped forward and touched the girl's head.

"Really, go in and sit down, and I'll get you something to eat." The girl kindly invited everyone in, and helped the old man carefully over.

A small hidden box is taken out by the girl, and the girl opens the box. Inside were a few pieces of shriveled bread, and she started with only two pieces. After a moment's hesitation, he took out the last piece.

"That's all there is to it, let's eat it......" The girl divided the bread among the three of them, looked at it with a blank eye, and swallowed.

"Let's eat, let's not live up to Xiao Weiya's kindness!" said the city lord and took the lead in eating. The bread was very hard, and when I swallowed it, my throat hurt. The city lord is still eating with relish, and with his actions, he maintains the dignity of the little girl. Natsu and Ophelia also ate it, and Ophelia ate with tears in her eyes.

"What's the matter, pretty sister, isn't it delicious? I only have this here......" Wei Ya lowered her head and looked timidly at her bare feet.

"No, my sister thinks it's delicious. Ophelia wiped her tears and said that the people here were miserable......

After eating the bread, Ophelia walked up to the old man. With a soft glow in her hands, Ophelia placed her hands near the old man's temples. The whole field of light covered the old man......

The old man miraculously recovered!

"Wei Ya, city lord, the two of them?" the old man actually sobered up.

"Grandpa, you're alright! Thank you, beautiful sister, you're really an angel!" Wei Ya said happily.

"Old man, it was this adventurer who cured you!" said the city lord to the old man.

"No thanks, old man, we just wanted to ask you, what happened to the Glen Vein?" Xia stopped the old man from opening his mouth and expressing his gratitude.

"This ...... I know you adventurers like to venture around, but that place you really can't go!" said the old hum with a look of fear.

"What the hell is going on, can you tell us more about it? Natsu frowned.

"Okay...... old man sighed, and Wei Ya also sat on the side obediently.
