Deep in the Tianqiong Mountains northeast of Dawn City, there is a small village with a small population. The village is built on a relatively flat place next to the Weishui River.

This remote village is called Heitan Village.

As the name suggests, the village is rich in coal mines, and most of the residents living here make a living by mining coal mines.

Don't think that this village is a small and run-down village just because it has Heitan in its name.

In fact, this is not the case. Heitan Village is a new village. All the houses in the village are cement houses built in recent years. They are not shabby at all and are very brand-new.

Speaking of the origin of Heitan Village, we have to go back four years.

At that time, Bianzhu Town had not yet been upgraded to Dawn City. A dwarf exploration team discovered an open-pit coal mine here, and then the lord sent people over to mine it.

Since the coal mining site is a bit far away from Bianzhu Town, and it is inconvenient to travel there, the city hall made a decision to build a village after study, allowing the miners and their families to live and eat directly there.

In this way, Heitan Village was established with the strong support of the city hall.

In the early morning of this day, the miners got up early and gathered at the entrance of the village after breakfast.

After counting the number of people and confirming that everything was correct, the mine leader took everyone to the open-pit coal mine and prepared to start today's mining work.

Halfway through, I heard a lot of noise coming from the bushes not far away, which frightened the team that was originally talking and laughing to stop immediately, became quiet, and did not dare to move forward.

"Is it a monster?" someone in the team said fearfully.

This matter had to be left to specialized personnel. The miner leader hurriedly shouted: "Guards! Guards!"

"Everyone stay back."

Hearing the sound, four armed guards quickly ran forward, raised their weapons, and then kept alert and approached step by step toward the bushes that made the noise.

As they moved slowly, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and they seemed a little nervous.

rustle--

It looks like something is coming out of the bushes!

Seeing this, the four guards immediately stopped and put their index fingers on the triggers, ready to fire at any time.

"Wait!"

At this time, a figure pushed aside the branches in front of him with his hands and walked out from behind the bushes.

"I'm not a monster."

This man's silver hair is a little messy and his face is a little dirty. Although the clothes on his body are tattered, it can be seen that they are expensive fur coats, and his status should be high.

Could it be a noble or wealthy businessman who had just escaped from some danger? Everyone speculated.

One of the guards stepped forward, pointed his gun at the unknown person, and asked warily: "Put your hands up! Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I am……"

Just when the other person was about to raise his hands to answer the question, the miner leader hurriedly pushed aside the guard from behind and rushed to the person.

After seeing the face clearly, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, open his mouth, and his hands started to tremble.

"It's really you..."

Immediately afterwards, the miner leader quickly knelt down on the spot, put his hands on the ground, and kowtowed.

"Meet His Majesty the Kingdom!"

Hearing this, the people behind were all dumbfounded. The person in front of them was the long-missing king? But I heard that he was in Red Sand Fortress before he disappeared. Why did he appear here? Gu

"Why don't you kneel down quickly!" the miner leader turned around and urged.

Although it was half a beat late, everyone including the guards quickly knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Meet His Majesty the King."

…

I don't know what to say. Irving returned successfully, but was thrown into a dangerous and unfamiliar forest by Alpha. I don't know if she teleported without looking where she was.

Fortunately, Owen fell into a tree and was not attacked by the monster while he was sleeping.

When he woke up and found himself in an unfamiliar forest, Owen was helpless.

Of course, he didn't mean to blame Alpha. It was already good to be back.

Without the lava armor, Owen could not fly, so he had to climb down from the tree himself, and then used his magic to search and move while being wary of monsters that might appear in the woods.

Being able to use magic means that Alpha has successfully reactivated the source of magic, and magic can continue to exist in the universe.

After killing a few monsters and finding a river, Owen continued to move along the downstream direction of the river, trying to find traces of human activity.

After three days of hard work, he finally found a small village in the distance and rushed there excitedly.

On the road, he happened to encounter a group of villagers who were out working, and they mistook them for monsters. Fortunately, Owen spoke up in time, preventing the guards from attacking him out of nervousness.

Noticing the rifles held by the guards, Owen concluded that he should be in the Kingdom of Morning Light.

However, the guard in front of him didn't seem to recognize Owen, and he actually raised his gun and pointed it at him vigilantly.

This is a bit troublesome. Will the other party believe me after I reveal my identity? Do I have to produce something to prove my identity?

Fortunately, someone in the crowd behind knew Irving. When that person rushed over and saw Irving's face, he was shocked. Then he quickly knelt down and revealed Irving's identity to everyone.

Later, Owen learned from the man's self-introduction that his name was Moses, who used to be the leader of the miners in the Transverse Mining Area and had the honor of meeting him.

After hearing this, Owen immediately remembered that when the first steam engine was put into the Transverse Mining Area, it was Moses who greeted him, and he also strongly recommended Huck to him because of his personal relationship.

It's just that Huck he has...sigh.

The reason why Moses is here is because the Transverse Mining Area was transformed into a labor camp attached to the prison. He did not choose to work in the factory like most people. Instead, he responded to the call of the city hall and voluntarily went to Black Carbon Village to continue working in mining-related industries.

.

At this point, Owen realized that he was in Black Carbon Village in the Sky Mountains.

He didn't pay much attention to the situation here before, but he didn't expect that after just a few years of development, the village has begun to take shape. Although the work of coal mining is hard, the villagers have received early subsidies from the city hall, and they have no worries about food, clothing, and housing.

The house is also good.

Irving is very pleased to see that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment here.

Not wanting to disturb the villagers' work, Owen just asked Moses and a guard to accompany him to Black Carbon Village.

In the home of the head of Heitan Village.

Only Irving was sitting on the seat, and everyone else stood respectfully in front of him.

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty."

At this time, the village chief came over in fear, put a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on the table, and handed it to Owen.

"I only have this rough tea at home, I hope you don't dislike it."

To be honest, the village chief is still in a state of shock and nervousness.
