The Witcher: Elemental Lords
#4 - Mining
Duomon County was just a small county town, where the highest level of strength was only level one. The Hellhound itself was level seven. Although it was seriously injured, it was still not something that level one knights, warriors, or wizards could deal with. Here, it could slowly heal without rushing. The only thing that made it feel slightly pressured was that the magic crystals must not be discovered by others too early, or else it would have nothing to do with it.
If it could confirm the location tonight, it would absorb all the magic crystals from the ore they could dig up tomorrow, without them noticing.
Magic crystals are the gathering of energy between heaven and earth. For higher creatures, they can be directly absorbed, which is of great significance for its recovery.
The bit of magic crystal from this afternoon was not even enough to fill the gap between its teeth, but with that little bit of magic crystal, it had at least recovered a little.
The Hellhound leaped through the mountains, quickly arriving near the mining location from the river. With its mental strength, it could easily sense the subtle magical fluctuations hidden in the mountains.
It walked around for a while, looked around for a long time, and then chose several places, standing there motionless, but its mental strength had already penetrated deep underground, detecting the slight impurities and magic crystals on the surface, absorbing all the elements inside.
It was a level seven creature, although its strength had fallen to around level one, this kind of ability was still a piece of cake.
After busying itself for most of the night, it was still not finished, but it was almost dawn, and it did not dare to continue, so it could only pray that they would not discover it too early, so it could absorb for a few more days.
While walking out, the Hellhound was still very excited. This night's work was enough to top three months of recovery outside. It had simply made a profit. That fellow Dole was really a lucky star, no, a super lucky star.
Returning the same way did not take too much time. By the time it crossed the city wall and quietly returned to the room, Dole had not even woken up yet.
Looking at the sleeping Dole, the Hellhound, Aoduo, lay in its dirty dog窝, slowly refining elemental energy. It wondered if it should help Dole with something. What future could the mine have? His aptitude was not bad, perhaps it should guide him to enter the world of professions?
As soon as it thought of this, Aoduo hesitated.
The world of professions was good, allowing one to pursue truth, gain powerful strength, and dominate everything, but it was a world full of terror, killing, and conspiracy. A slight carelessness could lead to eternal doom, just like itself, which could die at any time.
If it brought him onto this path, it could cause immeasurable consequences.
The human race is a very hardworking and talented race. Most humans have aptitude, but only a few can become high-ranking professionals, and very few can become respected warriors or terrifying wizards. This is the result of the human race's upper echelons controlling things. The world is like this, never shifting according to human will.
With the life Dole is living now, becoming a professional should make things much better, right?
Aoduo was no longer the Hellhound it used to be. It had now learned to think like a human, to think about more problems. After dying once, it finally understood what those old seniors had said before.
This world is a world where the big fish eats the small fish.
Just at this moment, it saw Dole's body twitch slightly, and quickly pretended to be asleep, as he was about to wake up.
A moment later, Dole woke up, then washed up, and then went out.
Another day began.
Dole felt that he was full of strength again today. The muscles on his body seemed to have grown bigger, and he was full of inexhaustible strength. This was something unimaginable before.
Dole's biggest wish was the same as most young people's, which was to become a warrior or a knight, holding a sharp long-handled sword, a thick shield, and riding a tall and mighty white horse, which all looked very majestic.
Of course, this was just a thought. Only the children of the rich and the children of nobles could become such people. It was impossible for him, and it was unlikely for the people around him. Even a child like Aoduo was unlikely to become a high-ranking knight.
Dole usually didn't think about these things because he saw two knights at the city gate when he left the city, and he felt a little envious.
Knights are different from ordinary soldiers. Knights have special powers, while soldiers are like them, ordinary people, only possessing some fighting skills. Whether it's knights, warriors, or wizards, they are all high-ranking people, beyond Dole's reach.
These two knights were wearing white, bright silver full body armor, wrapping themselves tightly, riding on very tall horses, seemingly waiting for someone?
Dole just glanced a few more times, then withdrew his gaze, his heart full of envy.
At this time, a large number of people had already begun to walk out of the city gate. They went out from the city gate and poured into the surrounding mines, starting a day's work.
Passing through the market, Dole spent a copper plate to buy three vegetable buns, eating them as he walked. Soon, he saw Big Brother Duodu. The two smiled at each other and easily stepped into the mine.
Today was the same as usual, breaking down ore and screening for gold, which made Dole very happy, because this proved that he had two more copper plates in his account.
However, with the increase in strength, he began to have another kind of emotion in his mind, which was why should he be robbed by Aoduo and the others? What right did they have to rob him? Although those people had taken a few days of martial arts classes, their strength was not as good as his. As long as he caught them off guard, he could easily defeat them. He was robbed every day, starving like Aoduo, what right did they have? Was it just because their fathers were in charge?
Dole had some unusual emotions in his mind, and this emotion was slowly fermenting in his heart.
Smashing stones and screening for gold, a morning passed quickly, but Dole discovered that there were much fewer white, shiny little stones today. After a morning passed, there were only three or four little stones. The quantity was far less than yesterday. A small stone was about the size of a little fingernail, how many were three or four!
The latest and most complete novels are available at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
However, he did feel that these little stones were becoming more and more intimate, as if they had some great use.
This feeling was very strange and magical. Thinking of Aoduo eating hundreds of these stones yesterday afternoon, he felt a little strange in his heart.
Could it be that Dog Aoduo is not an ordinary dog? Thinking of this, Dole felt that there were many fantasies in his mind. Those books he had read, those stories he had heard, one magical idea after another popped up from his heart.
His hands were not slow, and he completed his work according to his usual progress.
By the time he got off work, there were only a dozen white crystalline ores in his pocket.
He had many things on his mind, but he still gave the extra two copper plates to Duodu as agreed, so that he could take them out, otherwise Aoduo would come to rob him later.
Aoduo was not just robbing him. Like him, there were several other children who were alone and helpless. He would rob them all, every day. Whoever resisted, he would beat. Those children did not dare to resist too much, fearing injury. If they did not come to work the next day, it would not just be a matter of injury, they would starve to death.
Someone had resisted before, was beaten half to death, and then did not go to work for a few days, and starved to death. This was a typical example.
