"Empty Mirror City, that's where we want to go when we grow up. The boy's eyes sparkled when he heard Luo Xue say his destination, and he said, "We grew up in Sara Village since we were children, and we have never seen a big city outside. ”

After the little boy said this, he once again showed his head to look at the sleeping overseer, and whispered to Luo Xue, "After they leave, we can go to Empty Mirror City with our parents." ”

"Why did they come back so early today?" the boy heard the sound of iron shoes hitting the ground on the other side of the road, and knew that it was the robbers who had returned. His expression became nervous, and he hurriedly pulled Luo Xue into the grass.

It was too late, it was too soon, and in the blink of an eye, a group of well-armed robbers came from the main road. The bandof robbers hung their heads and walked listlessly on the way home.

"Damn the mages! It's just a toll to collect a toll, and you dare to fight back!" the bandit boss led by the bandit walked ahead, spitting. His voice was neither loud nor small, and it reached Luo Xue's ears.

"That's right, the damn thing is that they're all mages who refine the earth system. The battle qi we have cultivated is the weakest resistance to earth-based magic!" the other bandit chimed in, with the approval of the other companions.

Their leather armor was scarred by the magic bombardment, but none of it was damaged.

"All the equipment on them was obtained by exploiting us and robbing the adventurers who passed by here......" The boy stared at them, gritting his teeth with hatred, and said to Luo Xue.

The boy said resentfully, "Their care is so lax, we could have escaped a long time ago." If it weren't for the fact that their families are still imprisoned in their hands......"

As he spoke, he was pinched in his weakness, and his voice was lowered,

Only then did Luo Xue find out. Among the villagers who returned last night, there was not a single elderly person except the village chief.

"Hurry up, although you are not from the village, they like to block the road and rob the most. Watching the robbers walk past the bushes where they were hiding, the boy said in a panic,

At the same time, the boy pulled out the magic crystal he had just dug up. Gritted his teeth and handed it to Luo Xue.

"Anyway, our task for today has been completed, and this magic crystal will be handed over to you!" the boy handed over the crystal to Luo Xue without hesitation.

"Why give it to me?" Luo Xue took the high-grade magic crystal. Asked the boy. The surface of the magic crystal is earthy yellow, and the earth element is stored inside.

"It's better than to those bastards!" the boy listened to Luo Xue's inquiry, turned his head to look at the group of robbers from the past, and replied angrily.

Then the boy said, "They will only convert it into gold coins for the price of one magic crystal per person." Too much doesn't count at all!"

"But there are only a few days left before their agreement. When the time comes, the people of the village will be able to regain their freedom. There was hope in the boy's eyes.

Luo Xue looked at the magic crystal in her hand and said to the boy, "What if they made up a lie?"

Hearing Luo Xue's words, the boy turned his head and said, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up, can we?"

A gentle layer of sunlight shone on the boy's confident face, and Luo Xue saw a trace of firm faith in the boy's eyes.

Luo Xue looked at the boy's determined face, his fingers trembling slightly. But then the boy pulled the sleeve of his shirt.

"Now is the right opportunity!" the boy saw the bandits walk up to his companion and teach him why he was sleeping. The boy took advantage of the opportunity. Hurry up and remind Luo Xue to jump out of the grass on the side of the road and escape.

He got out of the bushes, trying to get back into his mine while they weren't looking.

But the boy had barely taken a few steps before he was seen by a robber who had inadvertently turned his head.

The robber immediately strode over, drew the mace from his waist, and shouted, "Why are you here?"

Hearing the robber's voice, the boy instinctively began to tremble, knowing that he was not going to be beaten.

"Li...... There wasn't enough air in there, and I just wanted to come out for a breath. The boy tilted his head slightly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Xue had disappeared behind him.

"Oh! I want to be lazy again, so I'll give you a little bitterness!" the robber strode up to the boy when he saw that he dared to talk back.

"I ...... I'm really not lazy!" The boy's voice became frightened, and just as he was about to defend himself, he was kicked violently, and the heavy iron shoes kicked his weak body, causing him to pass out in an instant.

"Cut, I fainted with a casual kick, it didn't mean anything at all. The robber who kicked the boy vented his anger in the early morning and kicked the unconscious boy again.

The boy let out a muffled grunt, but did not come to his senses, and seemed to have fainted genuinely.

"Be careful, don't kill him, or we'll have one less laborer. Another robber came up to him and said to him.

......

Luo Xue leaned against the branch of a poplar tree in the distance and heard the boy's cry of pain. Luo Xue stretched out his weak right hand, and on the palm of his hand, lay an earthy yellow magic crystal given to him by the boy.

"Xi'er, if it were you, what would you do?" Luo Xue lowered his head and stroked the pendant on his chest, his eyes were gray, and he whispered.

The pendant on his chest that fell into a dead silence was shining at this moment under Luo Xue's gentle touch. When Luo Xue saw this, her gray eyes also lit up a little.

At this time, the words that the boy had just said also came to his mind: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up, can you?"

Such a simple truth, even a child understands.

"You haven't given up, so how can I give up?" Luo Xue leaned against the tree and muttered to herself.

At this moment, he once again felt the broken sword "Fan" on his waist vibrate slightly, and resonated with the emotion of the broken sword.

"Unyielding, unwilling, and hopeful. ”

Luo Xue stood up slowly, and as soon as her feet stood upright, she stumbled a little. During the examination of his body last night, he found that the battle qi in his body was gone, and even when he used the momentum, there was a stabbing pain in his chest.

But Luo Xue also felt that the demon in the depths of his soul never appeared again, as if it had taken all the power from his body and left his body. Even the demon abandoned his unworthy body, but it was a good thing for Luo Xue,

When he found out that he had become like this, he already knew that he had been completely treated as an outcast.

After all, he has a lifespan of less than half a year, who will pay attention to him?

Despite this, Luo Xue was able to sense that her magical talent had not disappeared.

As long as you have a talent for magic, that's enough. He opened his eyes, and a faint azure color appeared in the depths of his pupils.

As the azure light emerged from her eyes, Luo Xue slowly raised her head and clenched the magic crystals in her hands.
