Full Time Mage Lord

  Chapter 448 Side Story: Eternal Dragon Rider II

  Henry is notoriously dirty. It seems that he hasn't showered for a month. I really don't know how he can persist.

   Therefore, the two rejected Henry's proposal in a tacit understanding.

  Henry had expected such an answer a long time ago, and he didn't take it seriously. He raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "Why haven't you come here for so long? You said that the boss will not be caught by them, and Jessica..."

  Jessica is the crying little girl.

Speaking of this, Henry seemed to think of Jessica's performance just now, suddenly smiled again, and said, "But that **** girl, the acting skills are really good, hehe. Blessed be the boss, it's a pity we are hiding here to drink the northwest wind .”

   "Henry, don't speak ill of the boss, otherwise...hehe, you understand."

  Conte clenched his fist angrily when he heard Henry's words, but seeing Henry's unfriendly expression, he stammered and couldn't continue speaking.

  Osgood didn’t like Henry’s constant bad-mouthing of the boss and said, “Henry, the boss won’t be caught, so don’t talk nonsense.”

He glared at the little Conte, and Henry looked at Osgood again. He felt that he was no worse than the boss, and he was the tallest among them in terms of stature, but every time he acted, he Henri was very dissatisfied with being arranged together with the coward like Conte and the dumb guy like Osgood.

  However, Henry still knows that the boss has more ideas than himself, and every time he comes up with a solution, it can be successful. Until now, these orphans have survived.

  Thinking of this, Henry snorted and stopped talking.

   Half an hour later.

   "Osgood, it's the boss and Jessica who are back." Conte first saw the intersection in the distance, and two short and thin figures came.

   "Oh, boss, you are finally back, which made me worry for a long time." The honest Osgood immediately ran over and put his arm on the boss's shoulder.

   "It's good to be back. Come on, let's see what we can gain at night."

  Henry was overjoyed to see the boss coming back, and hurried forward. He also hoped that there would be a good harvest tonight, so that everyone would not go hungry today.

  The boss is called Reinhardt.

Reinhardt is shorter and thinner than Henry, with slightly darker skin. He has light yellow hair, a pair of blue eyes, and a pair of resolute and unyielding lips under the bridge of his nose. The only shortcoming There is an obvious scar on the left cheek, from the brow to the cheek across the eyelid.

   This scar was left on Reinhardt when he was very young, and he doesn't know who was injured.

  Reinhardt is an orphan. Long-term and hard life forced him to be tenacious and unyielding. He was once on the verge of death, but fortunately survived with his clever wisdom.

  Before he knew these partners, he was a child who was caught mining in a mine. It was a tragic experience.

  For many child workers in the mine, it is very lucky to be able to eat a thin bowl of vegetable soup and moldy black bread with a sour smell every day.

   Eternal wars, wars require a large amount of minerals to produce armor, even if the contract was signed 20 years ago, but until ten years ago, or now, the war is still going on.

  Wars almost never stop.

  The overseer of the mine still doesn’t treat these children as human beings, and viciously insults and beats them every day, and many children can hardly survive three months. Reinhardt endured all these.

   Until one day, he met Jessica.

That day, Reinhardt, who was still digging in the mine, cleverly kept a certain rhythm as usual, so as not to consume too much energy, and would not be noticed by the miners. A life-saving method for surviving in a hole.

  And like all miners, he hopes that he can dig out a soul spar.

   What the soul spar is, people on the mainland are still not sure, but it is worth more than crystals.

   Getting rich overnight is about the same.

Reinhardt, who was mining, suddenly heard a commotion coming from the entrance of the cave, so he looked up, and was surprised to see an overseer pinching the neck of a little girl while tearing off the little girl's clothes , revealing her thin body full of bones, she opened her crotch and smiled lewdly.

   "Hey, there isn't even a woman in this dark place. This beauty is a little too small, but it's enough for the uncle to have a good time."

   And the supervisors surrounding him also laughed lewdly and booed.

  At this moment, the little girl just happened to look over to Reinhardt, her big eyes were pleading.

  She knew her own destiny, but she was not reconciled to these ugly and grotesque villains.

  She saw a boy, but what can a boy do for himself, his legs are not as thick as the arms of these villains.

  Reinhardt, the depths of his heart were suddenly ignited.

  I originally planned to finish working here for a year before I could be free...

   But what's the use of freedom? Continue to be a walking dead by yourself?

  He suddenly picked up the shovel in his hand, rushed at the supervisor, and slammed it on the supervisor's head.

   Not long after, Reinhardt hit the overseer on the head dozens of times, and immediately, the white flowers and reds from the overseer's head splashed all over the ground.

   This situation came too suddenly, it was a surprise attack from behind, before the surrounding supervisors could stop it, the guy was already beaten to death, and seeing that the man's head was blown out, everyone could only scream.

  Reinhard threw away the shovel in his hand, grabbed the girl's hand, and ran out quickly.

  The siren sounded in the mine.

  The sound of the alarm bell made Reinhardt and Jessica run away in a panic.

  The few overseers who were stunned at first immediately chased Reinhardt and the two of them. They ran away, but they lost their lives.

   This mine is officially owned by the Eternal Empire on the surface, but in fact, it is only contracted by the Chamber of Commerce. When a homicide case occurs, of course it will not be reported to the authorities, but will be suppressed.

   Press it down to make people shut up, shut up forever...

  …

   Fortunately, there are messy ores everywhere in the mine, and the ground is not smooth.

  The two children Reinhardt and Jessica easily shuttled among them, but those tall and fierce overseers were much slower in chasing them.

   Reinhardt and Jessica gradually distanced themselves from each other.

  One side of the mine is a low section. Generally speaking, large mines will excavate such a section to detect the distribution of ore seams.

  Reinhardt and Jessica were extremely nervous at this time, they chose a direction at random and started running desperately, completely unaware that they were going in the direction of this section.

   Before they could react, they both stumbled and fell.

But the overseer who was chasing them had to stop. Although the section was not high, it was still about 20 meters high. Most people would not dare to jump down, and neither would anyone else. Twenty meters is higher than the city walls of the imperial capital. !

  Fortunately, the place where Reinhardt and Jessica fell was a thick layer of soft waste ore, so they only scratched the skin of their hands and feet, and did not suffer too much injury.

  Seeing the overseers yelling at them at the top of the section, Reinhardt and Jessica hurriedly continued to flee to the depths. He didn't want those overseers to come down the path on the other side and chase him after a while.

   Going out from the fault along the mine pit, Reinhardt and the girl Jesse escaped from the mine pit, followed the Tianshui River, and came to the place where the poor gather, the slums in the west of the city.

  Here, there are poor people and their children everywhere. Reinhardt and Jessica seem to have disappeared into the sea, and the overseers of the mines near Tianluo City can no longer find them.

   Compared with the life in the mine, the slums are obviously much better. At least after Reinhardt got to know these partners, they can eat some food every day and live freely.

   However, Reinhardt will not be satisfied with these, because so far, they have not been able to solve their stomachs, and the important thing is that they belong to outsiders, and everything in the recycle bin does not belong to them...

  …

This night, Reinhardt and the others took even greater risks, not hesitate to offend the bullies in the slums, but also to obtain some waste that can be exchanged for money, so that these partners can leave the slums with themselves and go to a better place to do business. It's Reinhardt's dream, and everyone's dream, to start a small business.

  Only in the recycle bin will there be valuable things. The nobles don't look down on them, but for them, they are precious things.

  Reinhardt saw Henry approaching, so he took off the backpack and gave it to him.

  Henry has always been in charge of dividing the spoils, so everyone didn't say anything. They just looked at Henry quietly, hoping to get good news.

   Only Jessica knew that Reinhardt still secretly gave himself a hairpin. Judging by the appearance of the hairpin, it could be worth a lot of money.

   Taking a peek at Reinhardt, he found that he was still pretending to be nonchalant, just like everyone else, waiting for Henry to count things.

  Of course, only Jessica knows that this half-grown boy is not as strong as he looks, or that Reinhardt has his weak side.

  After a while, with trembling hands, Henry took out a small group of items wrapped in fine fragrant cotton cloth from the bag, and opened it. When everyone saw it, they were surprised at first, and then cheered loudly.

   "Is this gold? I've never seen it before."

  The timid Conte walked over, and when he was about to touch it with his hands, Henry stopped him, "Don't touch it yet!"

   "It must be gold. I've seen an old woman's chest hide something like this before. But this one is much bigger than hers. Wow! We're rich!"

  The honest Osgu hugged Conte happily and kept turning in circles until Conte was nearly dizzy before stopping.

   "Boss, are you sure it's really gold?" Henry was also pleasantly surprised, but his knowledge was still not as good as Reinhardt's, and if it was really gold, they didn't know what to do.

"This is indeed gold. I've seen it in mine veins. After the things they mine are washed, they become very small grains of gold. Compared with the current one, it is simply incomparable. This is high-purity refined gold. !"

  Jessica kept shaking Reinhardt's arm happily, and Reinhardt nodded.

  Although, Reinhardt was also very excited, this gold is as big as his fist, how much is it worth? !

  However, on the surface, he was still relatively calm. Seeing that everyone was excited, he said, "Henry, look at what else is there and check it carefully."

  After hearing what Reinhardt said, everyone became excited again.

  Maybe there is another big piece of gold, this is Conte's idea.

   And Osgood thinks it would be nice if there was a toy.

After searching for a while, Henry said, "Boss, there is only this gold, and the rest are clothes, tools and so on. Oh, by the way, there is also a strange book, take a look." Henry didn't know No one here knows how to read, except Reinhardt, who learned it from a down-and-out bard in the slums.

   "Book? Then show me." Reinhardt was also very surprised, remembering that he didn't find any similar items.

  But when Henry turned it out, Reinhardt understood.

  It turned out that the book was packed in a box. At that time, Reinhardt thought that the box should be more valuable, so he threw it into the bag.

   Indeed, this is a strange book, because the whole book is bright golden yellow, there is no word on the cover, and the material of the book does not know what it is made of.

  At this moment, Reinhardt is holding the book in his hand, flipping it over and over again, but he can’t see how the book is opened. Facing the moonlight, it is said that some books need moonlight to see...

   But he still got nothing. Just when he was about to lose his patience, the book suddenly shone brightly, and there was a slight pain in his hand.

  Reinhardt was surprised to see that there was a small **** cut on the finger holding the book because of the water chestnut of the metal box.

  A trace of blood sticks to the top of the book, which is slowly being dissolved and absorbed by the book at this time, and the book is also emitting this dazzling golden light under this condition.

   "Wow, so beautiful." Jessica looked at the light and said blankly.

   "Boss, this must be a book of demons. Throw it away quickly." The cowardly Conte said this. He had heard about books about demons from the stories of bards, which were books that devoured people's hearts.

   "Yes, yes." Osgood echoed, and he was afraid too!

   Only Henry did not speak immediately, "Boss, open it and see what is written on it. This book is so strange, it should contain some secrets about treasures. Hahaha, we seem to be really going to get rich."

  Henry thinks it might be a treasure map. In many stories, friends with good luck will find the treasure map, right?

  …

  The dazzling golden light gradually faded away.

  Reinhardt saw that the original wordless writing was writing something with a somewhat quaint atmosphere.

   "Dragon's Diary"

   "It seems to be a book about soul skill training." Reinhardt said a little disappointed.

  Soul skills are books that teach people how to use the power of soul energy.

  But Reinhardt is just a poor boy, where can he get soul power? It is said that only a very small number of people are lucky enough to have soul power from birth, and those who have soul power the day after tomorrow are also rare.

   After hearing this, everyone gathered around.

   But it's a pity, except for Reinhardt who can see those words, the others don't know a word at all. Although it sounds interesting, what's the use?

   "Boss, there is still no writing on it?" Henry asked in confusion.

   "Yes, boss, you wouldn't lie to us." Conte and Osgu also said at the same time.

   "Reinhardt, there are indeed no words on it. How did you know about the book on soul skill training you mentioned just now?" Jessica was also surprised.

   "Can't you see it? Here, look, it's here, it says 'Dragon's Diary', and behind it is the method of practicing soul skills..."

   Reinhard hurriedly pointed to these words for everyone to see.

   "Boss, I know we don't know how to read, so don't try to comfort us in this way."

   Obviously, Conte, Osgu, Henry, and even Jessica misunderstood.

"Ugh…"

   Reinhardt sighed, if his little friends didn't want him, he couldn't do anything about it.

   "Forget it, I'll accept this book, anyway, you all say you can't read." Reinhardt said angrily, and put the book in his arms.

After dividing the things, handing over the gold to Reinhardt for safekeeping, and agreeing on the place to meet the next day, Osgu, Conte, and Henry bid farewell to Reinhardt and Jessica. When we went back to each other, although they were all in the slums, the slums were very large, and the places where everyone lived were also different, because if everyone stayed together, the nearby recycling station would not have a good harvest, and they would starve to death together...

  …

   Osgu, Conte and Henry are going in one direction.

"Oscue, what do you think we should buy? I want to buy a leather backpack. Yes, it can hold a lot of things! This time I finally got what I wanted." The timid Conte looked at the roof in a daze The sky in the slit, said.

   "Conte, it's useless to buy girls' backpacks with your talent!" Henry said with contempt after hearing this.

"That's right. Conte, you are still young and don't know what real valuable things are. Actually, I want to buy a toy, a dragon knight riding a giant dragon, as long as you move the mechanism under it, you can move The kind. What do you think?"

  The honest Osgood once dreamed that he was a knight riding a flying dragon, and this was one of his secrets. Of course, everyone knew this secret, but Osgood still insisted on keeping it a secret.

A knight riding a dragon, this is not a rumor, but a legend. At the beginning of the establishment of the Eternal Empire, at the end of the Chaos Age, the person named "Dragon" is said to be a descendant of the dragon family, who can transform into a giant dragon, and can also transform into a dragon. Human form, the strongest is the story of the imperial knight riding the dragon and the war with the devil...

   "Come on, Osgood, we all know about your thoughts." Henry and Conte said to Osgood together in a rare tacit understanding.

"Okay, let's not talk about what to buy. I will have time to think about it. Now let's talk about Jessica. She seems to be a little more beautiful now, and she looks like a nice girl. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"

  Henry said infatuatedly, but when he said this, he found that no one responded to him. It turned out that the two friends had long been immersed in their dreams. What Jessica, they are not interested...
