Chapter 317 Magnet Town and Star Return's Request 【5K】

In the azure blue sky, the white clouds are like fluff, and the blue is like washing.

Under the illumination of two warm suns, one big and one small, the vast mountain range covered by snow all the year round is shrouded in clouds and mists. The bright sun and dense mist intertwine with each other, making the sky and the earth hazy.

Occasionally, a few eagle-like monsters with flapping wings roared past, making a piercing low chirping sound.

Under the endless white mountain peaks, there are vast fields of emerald green.

The breeze blows, the butterflies flutter, and the flowers and plants sway.

The green plains covered with colorful wildflowers are in sharp contrast with the towering white mountains, making the whole scene quite epic.

Just where snow-capped peaks meet green plains.

There is a small town standing tall, which is exactly the destination of Lei Xiao and others this time: Magneto Town.

A hundred years ago, this town located at the foot of the mountain was fortunate enough to discover several rare veins one after another, which attracted gold prospectors from the surrounding area to flock here.

As a result, this little-known town was once full of people and very prosperous.

However, after the gold diggers went on to frantically mine one after another, when these veins were exhausted one after another.

This town, like mines riddled with holes, became lifeless, and suddenly returned to its former inconspicuous appearance.

Naturally, no one cares about a mining town without mineral veins.

Until a few years ago, a new vein was discovered again.

This time, the current Magneto City Master seized the opportunity to jointly develop with the former Kongqing City Master.

Strictly control the number of foreign gold diggers, and firmly control the mining of the veins in their own hands.

So far, this small town seems to be prosperous again.

Within the towering city walls, in the outer area of ​​Magneto Town, there are rows of low, dilapidated houses. A large number of old wooden buildings stand scattered, looking very messy.

A gust of cold wind swept past.

The crumbling wooden doors and windows immediately made "squeaks and creaks" one after another, as if they might be blown away by the wind at any time, leaving a desolate and desolate scene everywhere.

Because it is located under the snow-capped mountains, the environment here is extremely humid.

From time to time, the melted snow water flowing down from the mountain mixed with the domestic sewage of the residents, forming a series of criss-crossing stinky ditches, exuding a pungent and unpleasant smell constantly.

In a narrow alley, a little girl in ragged clothes and messy hair was hiding by a rotten and blackened wooden wall, and was creeping forward.

She was skinny, clutching an old bug-catching net tightly in her hand, and her pair of eyes, dull and dull due to malnutrition, were quite sharp, fixedly staring at a blue stone pigeon that had just fallen in front of her.

Looking at the Tier [-] monster with almost no lethality, the thin little girl couldn't help showing a look of longing.

You know, she hasn't eaten a full meal for a long time, let alone the long-lost meat.

Immediately, just as the little girl saw the timing, she bent slightly and was about to pounce on it.

A stone suddenly fell into the stinky ditch next to the girl.

In an instant, the turbid water spray not only splashed the startled little girl all over.

Moreover, even the prey she longed for, the blue stone pigeon, had already been frightened and flew away.

"Hahaha!"

Not far away, seeing the girl in a state of embarrassment, several little boys in the same tattered clothes started laughing while covering their stomachs.

Immediately afterwards, the leader of the little boy took a step forward, pointed at the little girl with a wooden stick and said, "Outsiders, go back to your Kongqing Town, we don't welcome you in Magnetic Town!"

"That's right, it's because of your arrival that our already scarce food has become even more scarce!"

Another little boy with a sallow face also echoed: "You are the moths here!"

"Obviously your city lord didn't let us go, do you think we would stay here?"

Not to be outdone, the little girl covered in water stains put one small hand on the insect net and retorted with the other hand on her hip.

"Nonsense! Our city lord, it's too late to hate you! How can we keep you? You know, with the protection of the city lord, we can live here safely!"

The little boy in the lead picked up a stone again, pretending to throw it, and said: "Unlike you outsiders, I'm afraid your city lord has already abandoned you, right? You are really a poor man without a city lord."

"...You're just talking nonsense! The city lord of our Kongqing Town is the most powerful city lord, and he will definitely come to pick us up!"

After a little confusion, the little girl's dirty face suddenly revealed a firm look.

"Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year!"

The little boy who was the leader started to laugh at the little girl again, and said sarcastically: "Recognize the reality, your city lord has already abandoned you, poor bastard!"

After finishing speaking, the other little boys also made faces and echoed: "Poor guy, poor guy with no city master, homeless guy!"

Moreover, they all started throwing small stones at the little girl again.

"You managed to piss me off!"

After dodging a few small stones, the thin and frail little girl threw away the insect net, and a wave of weak magical energy began to appear on her body.

Immediately, a few dirty water balls formed above the dirty puddle beside her, and under her command, they rushed towards the group of little boys crookedly.

Not far away, after being attacked by a few sewage balls, the drenched little boys saw that the situation was not good, so they sneered and ran away.

"Our Lord City Lord of Kongqing Town will definitely take us home! We will definitely!"

After glaring at a few people fiercely, the little girl picked up the insect net again, her thin and frail figure looked very lonely in the long alley.

After recovering to be alone, she saw a hint of hesitation in her firm eyes, and muttered to herself: "But, the Lord City Lord must be very busy, right? Will he really come to take us home?"

Thinking of this, the little girl's stomach began to growl. After using her self-created sewage ballistic technique, she felt even hungrier now.

"When was the last time I ate delicious bread? It should have been my birthday the year before last, right? However, I have forgotten what it tastes like, it should be sweet..."

While she was drooping her long eyelashes, she was swallowing her saliva, carefully recalling the scene of eating coarse bread.

At some point, six tall and unfamiliar figures appeared in front of her.

"You... who are you?"

Feeling the strangeness in front of her eyes, the short and thin little girl immediately took a step back, holding the insect net tightly with both hands, leaning against the mottled wooden wall, her small face was full of vigilance.

On the other side, a young pretty woman with big eyes blinking and wearing a pointed witch hat bent down to her, and asked with a smile, "Little girl, is this the residential area of ​​the residents of Kongqing Town?" ?”

Needless to say, the visitor was naturally Chaoyan.

And beside her are Lei Xiao, Hu Zhang, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing.

As for Lin, Fang Hai and the others, after entering Magneto Town, under Lei Xiao's order, they had already split up.

"Yes, I am a resident of Kongqing Town!"

Looking up at Chaoyan with a single ponytail in front of her, the little girl was a little timid, but her voice was extremely firm and crisp: "What are you going to do? My family is very poor! The people here in Kongqing Town are very poor. !"

"Don't worry, we don't have any malicious intentions."

Lei Xiao stepped forward, lowered his body slightly, smiled patiently and said, "We are also from Kongqing Town."

After speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a cyan carved headband embroidered with the unique pattern of Kongqing Town appeared on the palm of his hand.

"It's exactly the same pattern as my mother's hairband!"

Seeing this, the little girl calmed down a little on her wary face, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out.

Looking at the sallow-faced and emaciated little girl in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown.

Whether it's the pungent smell of the turbid and smelly ditch in front of him, or the crumbling wooden prefabricated houses around him, the environment here is obviously much worse than he imagined.

You know, this is the first time Lei Xiao has seen such a thin and malnourished local indigenous child who has been in this different world for such a long time.

What's more, this is still the residents of Kongqing Town under his rule.

"I have to personally intervene in this matter, so let's do some investigation in the vicinity first. In addition, judging from the size of such a huge slum, it seems that there are many local residents of Magnetic Town who also live here."

"By the way, the family of Maid Xinghui also has to hurry up and look for it. This is the most important thing in this trip."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao asked the little girl in front of him while listening to the faint sound of ore tapping and digging: "The adults here should all go to the mine, right?"

"Yes."

The little girl nodded, and said with a habitual look: "They usually go home for a night and rest for a week or so, and then work for another week."

"I have to say, it's really a nest of snakes and rats. Compared with the previous City Lord Kongqing, the methods of the Magneto City Lord are simply inferior."

Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly, and thought to himself: "Of course, these people are all my residents now, so naturally it's not his turn to be the Magnet City Lord."

Just when Lei Xiao was thinking of this, he suddenly heard the little girl in front of her stomach making cooing sounds one after another.

Seeing that the little girl's thin face turned red immediately, she quickly explained: "It's not me, I'm not hungry..."

"Asagao, please start your food-changing performance."

Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao stretched out his hand to Chao Yan.

"Understood, my lord."

Looking at the thin little girl in front of her, Chaoyan didn't hesitate, and in her hand was an extra piece of buttered toast drenched in honey, and handed it to Lei Xiao respectfully.

"This...is this bread?"

Seeing clearly the honey butter toast in Lei Xiao's hand, the little girl's thin face suddenly revealed an expression of disbelief.

Looking at the delicious food that was so close in front of me and just remembered, the little girl with a longing face first swallowed a mouthful of spit, then suppressed her saliva, shook her head and said, "Uncle... no, big brother, this food is too sweet." It's expensive, I don't have money, I can't afford it."

"This is my reward for your answer."

Smiling slightly, he insisted on handing the bread to the little girl's little hand, and then Lei Xiao ordered Chaoyan to put on the carved headband just now and tie a beautiful single ponytail for the little girl.

"Thank you big brother!"

Joyfully took the bread, the little girl was about to take a big bite, but stopped halfway.

Looking at Lei Xiao with dim eyes, he said embarrassedly: "Big Brother, I want to leave this for my father to eat, is that okay? He just broke his leg in the mine a few days ago and is currently recuperating at home. "

Immediately, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, my father knows a lot. Why don't you go home with me?"

"Okay, let's do it then."

Lei Xiao smiled gently at the little girl and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao took another large piece of exactly the same bread from Chao Yan's hand, and promised to give this piece to the little girl as well, and then the other party began to chew with great gulp, full of face An expression of irrepressible happiness.

For a moment, the little girl's face was covered with mud, only two rows of fine white teeth were shining, which made people dumbfounded.

On the way to the little girl's house, Lei Xiao learned more about it.

The little girl's name is Xing Gui, and there are only two parents in the family, and there is also an older sister who is said to be far away in the capital.

However, when this elder sister left home, Xing Gui was not yet born, so she did not meet her face.

Surprised, Lei Xiao confirmed it after repeated confirmations.

It turns out that this little girl named Xinggui is the biological sister of the maid Xinghui!
Looking at the thin little girl in front of her who quickly devoured a large piece of bread.

Lei Xiao couldn't help but sighed softly, took another glass of juice from Chao Yan, and handed it to her.

"Thank you big brother, this feels like celebrating a birthday! When Xinggui grows up, I will definitely treat big brother to eat such delicious food!"

Taking the juice gratefully, Xinggui bowed solemnly to Lei Xiao, finally showing a long-lost and satisfied bright smile on his thin face.

Immediately, Xing Gui held the half-drinked juice in both hands, and a dignified appearance that completely didn't match his age appeared on his small face.

She raised her head and asked Lei Xiao, "By the way, big brother, since you are also from Kongqing Town, do you know our city lord?"

"Lord City Lord?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and responded softly, "What do you want from the city lord?"

"To tell the truth, big brother, people here are bullying us, saying that we are moths in Magneto Town, and that I am a homeless wretch. Therefore, I want to ask the Lord of the City to take us home."

Xing Gui twitched his little nose full of mud, and said: "My father, mother, and the grandfather of the village chief also said that it is impossible for the Lord City Lord to come to rescue us, because the Lord City Lord is too busy to take We all forgot."

"However, I believe that he will definitely remember, and he will definitely come and take us home!"

Speaking of this, Xing Gui's crystal clear eyes were shining brightly.

"Lord Lord..."

Hearing the sound, Chaoyan and the others at the side also looked at Lei Xiao with some emotion.

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, he has already told me that the residents of Kongqing Town will naturally not be managed by others, and will come to take you back."

"Really? That's great! I knew the Lord City Lord would definitely remember us coming!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's affirmation, Xinggui was so happy that he jumped up and said excitedly: "After I go back, I must tell everyone the good news!"

Amid the joyous singing and laughter of Xinggui, Lei Xiao and his party walked through several dark alleys filled with smelly gutters.

Finally, it stopped in front of a dilapidated cabin.

"Brother, this is my residence."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Xing Gui opened the creaking door with a jump.

"Father, I brought some residents of Kongqing Town here! They are so nice, and even invited Xinggui to eat!"

A crisp voice sounded, only to hear Xinggui shout.

Immediately, another somewhat weak middle-aged male voice came from the wooden house: "Xinggui, keep your voice down, the village chief's grandfather and several other grandfathers are here."

Walking into the room, stepping on the creaking rotten floor, Lei Xiao noticed.

This wooden house can be described as barren and dilapidated, with almost no complete furniture.

Only in the corner of the house are two low wooden beds, one large and one small.

At the same time, a strong musty smell entered Lei Xiao's nostrils.

Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered, making further discoveries.

On the big bed, there was a middle-aged man with a pale complexion, and beside him, there were several thin old men with sallow complexions.

From the breath, it can be clearly judged that these people are just a group of ordinary farmers who are malnourished.

"I'm sorry my friend, because I'm injured, I can't get up to greet you."

Immediately, the middle-aged man nodded slightly to Lei Xiao and said politely.

At this time, since everyone in the group was wearing illusion cloaks, only Lei Xiao and Chao Yan took off their hoods, so the costumes were still ordinary people's attire.

"Young man, you said you are from Kongqing Town?"

After looking up and down the plainly dressed Lei Xiao, the white-haired old man who led him said, "For the sake of my fellow countrymen, this old man told me bluntly, please leave here as soon as possible.

Once those guys find out, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I want to! "

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who had a calm face, smiled slightly and asked.

"Of course it's because of the mine defense team in Magneto Town!"

The white-haired old man in the lead sighed heavily, then shook his head and said, "That's a group of murderous guys, if they hadn't reset the card again, we would have fled back to Kongqing Town long ago, why would we still be in this place? Die for them."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression.

On the way to town, he did notice.

Among the ordinary garrison troops in Magneto Town, there were also some ferocious soldiers in leather armor mixed in. These people were extremely strictly checked and required a pass to enter and exit the city gate.

Therefore, his group naturally came in over the wall.

It is precisely because of this that among several surrounding towns, I only know little about Magneto Town's intelligence, and only grasp the opponent's strength configuration.

"Old man, isn't this mine developed together by Kongqing Town and Magneto Town? Why are you under the control of Magneto Town? Isn't there a manager of Kongqing Town here?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a hint of doubt, and asked.

"Oh, young man, you don't know something."

On the other side, the leading white-haired old man slowly shook his head, a helpless expression appeared on his old and thin face.
