Yulia then wiped her tears, her eyes were red, and thanked Chen Mo.
Although she gave birth to Wayne, Yulia was only in her early twenties. The two were in close contact, and the scent of fragrance hit their nostrils. Although they were infinitely charming, Chen Mo, who practiced boy skills, already had a very high level of determination.
Strength, clear eyes, no evil thoughts at all.
"I have long said that Uncle Chen Mo is as powerful as dad!"
Wayne snuggled into Yulia's arms and comforted his mother softly, but Chen Mo's voice came from behind him.
"Didn't we agree at the beginning that this would be our secret?"
"But, but..."
Seeing that Chen Mo seemed a little angry, Wayne wanted to explain several times, but didn't know how to speak. He ran into the room in shame, not daring to look at Chen Mo again.
When Chen Mo saw this, he smiled.
He looked at Yulia and said, "How did you provoke these people?"
When Yulia heard this, her face darkened.
"Since Wayne's father died, this has happened more than once. The scar-faced adventurer just now, after meeting me by chance, has been wanting me to marry him. I refused him, and he
He started coming over frequently to cause trouble."
"I see."
Chen Mo had already expected this.
"Little Wayne and I have hit it off. Besides, we are neighbors. If anything like this happens again, you can come and find me. I..."
Only halfway through his words, Chen Mo noticed that Yulia was stunned and lowered her head shyly, and immediately realized the problem in his words.
The other party obviously misunderstood me.
But after Xiaolan's experience in the hive world, Chen Mo didn't dare to mess around with others anymore. It was better not to understand some things in depth.
in this way.
Chen Mo hurriedly said: "I still have some things to do here. Now that the things here have been resolved, I will go back first."
…
Time passes day by day.
Sulfur ore and iron ore are the two pillar industries of Glory City.
Among them, the sulfur mining area is located near the crater above Glory City. This is a relatively mild active volcano. It has been quite stable for at least the past few hundred years and has no signs of erupting.
Sulfur can be said to be a must-have item for adventurers.
Almost every adventurer must prepare something when going out. The castle in the misty forest regards sulfur as a strategic material. It usually sells it at a high price to adventurers who need supplies, and it is used for emergency relief in times of crisis.
For example, the ghost vines that were constantly approaching the Howell family were eliminated with the help of large amounts of sulfur.
There is only one sulfur mine in the entire Glory Mountains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation of Glory City.
If this sulfur mine is lost, then the situation of the entire Glory Mountain family, as well as thousands of adventurers, will deteriorate rapidly. Maybe within a few years, the entire mountain range will decline. It is not impossible.
.
This day.
Hundreds of workers are working tirelessly to develop the sulfur mine near the crater.
The guards responsible for supervising the work were on patrol with weapons on guard.
The pungent smell here is unpleasant to outsiders, but they have already adapted to it. The price of adapting to it is the loss of taste and smell. No matter how delicious the food is, it tastes like chewing wax. They can only eat a lot of spicy food to stimulate the pain.
, so as to get a little pleasure from tasting food.
Sudden.
In the distant sky, there was an inexplicable roar.
The guards couldn't help but look over, and even the mining workers straightened their backs, taking this opportunity to take a break and watch the excitement.
"It's a flying monster. With such a large size, it must have come from the depths of the mist."
"Oh my God, with such a big body, I don't know what this guy ate to grow up."
Although it was more than ten kilometers apart, the size of this strange beast was so big that it accidentally broke out of the fog and entered this relatively dry environment. It began to fly around the fog wall instinctively. Many people expressed their opinions about this.
Marvel.
The sunshine area in Glory City is much larger than that in the castle.
However, just when everyone thought that this giant beast that accidentally broke in would leave soon, it seemed to have discovered something. After a loud and long cry full of surprise, it actually flew towards the crater.
Already.
Immediately afterwards, amid the exclamations of everyone in the mining area, a giant creature with wings spread nearly ten meters fell down with a bang.
This is actually a terrifying monster with two heads!
Its body was covered with black scales, and its claws were as sharp as blades, easily cutting through the hard stone. There was a terrifying aura of death lingering on its body, and the two heads on its slender necks like pythons actually showed the appearance of an ox and a bull.
Two different forms of sheep.
"It's an alien dragon, oh my God!"
"Run quickly."
When the workers saw this, they screamed and fled in all directions.
However, it is still a little late.
The two heads of this alien dragon immediately spewed out blazing fire and terrible hurricanes, turning a large number of miners into ashes. Then they began to roll excitedly in the sulfur mine, and the two heads kept devouring the ore.
The so-called alien dragons refer to dragon creatures artificially synthesized by poison masters who rely on alienation to form formations.
Different from dragons, which are inherited by the blood of giant dragons, alien dragons evolve by swallowing dragon blood, so they are natural enemies with the dragons. It was the poison masters who fought against them in that catastrophic battle.
The ultimate weapon created by the Dragon Knight Alliance.
As the war passed and a large number of ancient poison masters died, these alien dragons lost the shackles of their masters and began to wander around and even began to reproduce.
The horn symbolizing crisis instantly spread throughout Glory City.
The news that the sulfur mine was attacked by the two-headed wind-splitting dragon spread quickly in Glory City.
There were many people working in the sulfur mines in Meishi Street. Some of those who managed to escape vividly described the horrific scene. The few family members of the victims were thunderstruck and began to wail in pain.
For a while.
The adventurers in Glory City were gearing up and spontaneously formed so-called expedition teams.
The major shops in the city have also taken action, obviously preparing for the precious materials after slaying this strange dragon. Of course, Chen Mo's Bailianchengjin Blacksmith Shop is indispensable among them.
As the largest blacksmith shop in the city, news is naturally very circulated, and Chen Mo also heard a lot.
Similar large invasive creatures will emerge from the depths of the fog almost every once in a while. Creatures that can be attracted by sulfur mines and want to build their nests here often have a characteristic, that is, they contain dragons.
Bloodline.
If it is a dragon or a giant dragon, Glory City will naturally be looking for it.
After all, these dragon species possess extremely high intelligence. Most of the so-called dragon knights just take this opportunity to get close. However, this kind of thing is quite rare in the history of Glory City. It usually happens in other places that are more distant.
area.
But the violent alien dragon is completely different.
When they were refined by poison masters, they were integrated with a large number of brutal and ferocious cells in order to hunt those giant dragons. Therefore, except for the poison masters who refined them, others could not control them at all.
With the power of Glory City, it is natural that it will not be afraid of ordinary strange beasts.
Including those alien beasts that have reached the level of third-level creatures, under the power of a large number of adventurers in Glory City, they will also die.
However, everyone in Bairenchengjin Blacksmith Shop showed solemnity towards this alien dragon.
There is no other reason.
It can fly!
For this kind of powerful flying creature, according to Glory City's past experience, it can take as short as one or two months or as long as half a year before Glory City can gather enough strength. This is because as prices in Glory City continue to rise, the Adventurer's Guild has taken some measures.
In case of coercive measures.
Otherwise, facing this kind of flying creature that cannot be defeated and can run away at any time, it would undoubtedly be a foolish dream for those adventurers who organized themselves to attack it with all their strength.
Adventurers are not afraid of danger, but afraid of no gain.
The next half month.
Sure enough, as rumored, prices in Glory City continue to rise at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.
The sulfur mines are shut down, the iron mines are shut down, the coal mines are shut down...
Bailianchengjin Blacksmith Shop also lost its raw materials due to the shutdown of the iron mine, so it had to give workers like Chen Mo a vacation, but it was a paid vacation.
However, Chen Mo took the initiative to give up this paid vacation.
He expressed his willingness to replace the apprentice who was responsible for maintaining the operation of the last furnace, and the ore stored in the blacksmith shop was only enough to maintain the operation of one furnace.
This made the old black guy who had a good relationship with him roll his eyes when he heard about it.
"You guy, are you stupid?"
Chen Mo smiled and said: "I came here because I want to be promoted to the second-level apprentice as soon as possible. I am not just messing around. There is no harm in studying and exercising more."
"You asked for this, just do whatever you want."
Since it was Chen Mo who took the initiative, the old black ghost would not refuse, and immediately gave the apprentice a holiday, with Chen Mo taking over.
This way.
It is almost certain that Chen Mo will be promoted to the second level apprenticeship in the blacksmith shop.
Half a month later.
Wayne climbed to the roof and practiced with Chen Mo.
However, Wayne's performance today was not ideal, and he fell down several times during the jab.
It wasn't until Zi Qi came from the east and the practice was over that Chen Mo looked at Wayne, who was panting and seemed a little weak. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you sick?"
"No."
Wayne looked at Chen Mo, looking a little sad.
"Because I haven't eaten enough, I have no strength. Mom said that the monster doesn't know when it will leave. The family is running out of money, so we have to save some money."
Compared to Chen Mo's monthly income of two silver coins as an apprentice, Yulia's income from sewing was only one silver coin per month at most. The rent also cost a lot, so life was quite tight.
Now that the price of goods in Glory City has increased significantly, it is natural that it is difficult to make ends meet.
If Wayne was like this, she might be even weaker from hunger.
certainly.
Her family is not the only one suffering in Glory City. Everyone is waiting for the end of this disaster and suffering. Chen Mo is just a passerby. The double-headed wind-splitting dragon is not something he can deal with, and he has never thought of doing it.
Savior.
but.
If you just help the people around you a little bit, that's what you should do.
After careful consideration, he felt that it was better to avoid direct monetary assistance. He wanted to help others entirely out of his inner activities, and did not want to change the equal relationship between the two parties.
