C1061 Home in the Mine
The other party should have some reputation here. Of course, it was obvious with one's toe that this was definitely a negative reputation. After all, even beggars had never seen such an innovative image of Charcoal.
After a winding path, the scenery by the side of Ye Chen's road gradually turned into a dirty alley. There were pits and potholes on the road, and gravel was scattered everywhere. The walls were also blackened by carbon, and pedestrians shuttled back and forth in the alley. Most of them were like the children walking with their heads lowered, their bodies filled with black traces of mining and carbon pulling.
Of course, they were definitely not as dirty and messy as the children. Her appearance was a symbol no matter where she went. Her messy and greasy hair, even if it was said that she had not washed it for ten years, would not be doubted by many people.
This place should be the civilians of Flower Demon King City, or rather, the class of the poor. There would be darkness behind any light. Flower Demon King City was located on top of the ore vein. Using the lava as the best forging place for the smelting furnace, the miners of the poor wanted to eat to their heart's content. They had to work in the mine for a long time without sleep.
Originally, Ye Chen and Red Lotus thought that the child's home was nearby. At most, it would be in the deepest part of the mine, which was the most dirty and messy. The most dilapidated place had a place for her to stay. Unexpectedly, after turning left and right, the three of them arrived at the edge of the precipice that was tens of thousands of meters away from the mine.
The hurricane that was thousands of meters high in the sky whistled by their ears. Below their feet was a dark abyss. Looking around, they could even see the towering ore mines. In his line of sight, they were nothing more than lumps of dirt. Not to mention ordinary people, even if it was Cultivator, if it was his first time seeing them... He would feel dizzy even if he saw it for the first time.
This place was supposed to be a ghost place that was rarely seen by humans, but at this moment, it was crowded with people. There were at least a few hundred people standing at the edge of the cliff, watching for a while. The two finally understood that these people had passed through the skateboard. They had hung a basket of coal from the basket at the bottom of Flower Demon King City.
This was a height of a few thousand meters, yet they were forcefully pulled up like this. Furthermore, these were the commoners who were normally incomparably weak in Cultivator's eyes. This scene was truly shocking.
Later on, Ye Chen found out that in order to have enough coal and ores every day, the blacksmiths invited mages to set up some simple magic to reduce the weight of the baskets. At the same time, they also used their advantage as blacksmiths to create this wheel system. As long as the people below kept turning the joystick, they would be able to easily hang up a basket of ores or coal mines that weighed hundreds of thousands of kilograms.
Of course, that was to say, no matter what, the height of a few thousand meters could not be changed by magic or blacksmith craftsmanship. They had to hang up a basket of materials. It still required quite a bit of effort.
Just as Ye Chen and Red Lotus were staring blankly at the bustling scene in front of them, the child pointed at the empty basket that had been hung up. Then, he walked up and jumped into the basket.
The two of them immediately understood what she meant. She was going to jump into the basket, right?
Ye Chen and Red Lotus walked up to the basket. The surrounding workers immediately dispersed and looked at them with respect. They knew each other very well. They probably had never seen Cultivator come to such an isolated place.
Should they go in?
Looking at the thick layer of black and carbon powder stuck to the inner wall of the basket, Ye Chen and Red Lotus could not help but frown when they jumped in and out. They would at least be dyed half black.
The child was also a little hesitant because if this continued, he would have to turn the wheel by himself. Of course, others would not help you for free. She often went up and down by herself. She was already used to it. But if there were two more adults inside, the weight would immediately increase. It was indeed a problem if he did not have enough strength. He could not possibly let the honorable Cultivator turn the wheel in person.
Of course, after hesitating, the result was that the three of them did not have to hesitate anymore. It was only a few thousand meters in height. To Cultivator, it was nothing.
Thus, under everyone's dumbfounded gazes. Ye Chen came to the edge of the cliff. It was as if he was taking a walk on flat ground. He took a very natural step and then fell down.
With a whoosh. Red Lotus actually pulled Ye Chen's arm and got on a ride.
Forget it. Since there was an extra oil bottle, he didn't mind adding another one.
After falling for a few hundred meters, Ye Chen suddenly jumped out of thin air. He once again revealed the top of the cliff and appeared in the eyes of those workers who still hadn't recovered from their shock. He also picked up the thin child who was also staring blankly at him.
"Ah... Ah... Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
This was probably the loudest voice she had ever shouted in her life. In short, accompanied by this series of screams, the three of them, who were at the bottom of the cliff, also landed without any surprise or danger under the stunned gazes of the workers.
What? These guys all looked as if they had seen the arrival of Martians. Red Lotus looked at the dumbstruck workers around her with dissatisfaction. They all looked at each other as if they were looking at an upgraded version of a monster. When they retreated in panic, it made them even more unhappy.
Compared to her, Ye Chen was much calmer. He lowered his head and looked at the child who was still hugging his waist. His mouth was wide open, but he could not make a sound.
"He's already down. Are you alright?"
After shouting five times, the other party finally reacted and quickly let go. However, her legs, which had long been frightened, betrayed her. She jumped down and lost her balance. The child fell onto the ground.
Although it was only a very short moment, Ye Chen still saw it. From the pair of narrowed eyes, the excitement of the child when he encountered new things flashed past. Although this feeling, which even the master himself might not have noticed, only lasted for a short period of time.
"I... I'm sorry."
Seeing that there was a large patch of obvious black stains on the clothes that had been carried, the child opened his mouth and lowered his head. He did something wrong and lowered his head. From his dry lips, he made a stiff and clear apology.
"It's alright, let's continue."
Ye Chen waved his hand indifferently. His clothes instantly became spotless. To Cultivator, this kind of magic was at the beginner level.
Under the guidance of the child, they walked for about half an hour. Ye Chen and the others arrived at the foot of a mine. Then, they saw the other party bowing his head. A small hole that was less than two meters deep and less than half a meter tall was caved in. The hole that went in was like a bird returning to its nest. It made a slight sound of air being released.
A few seconds later, half of his messy head popped out from under the rock. He looked at Ye Chen's feet with a humble and timid gaze, as if to say, Look, this is my home.
