Tsk, did that old woman have a good time?
I spat secretly. No matter how I simulated it in my mind, I couldn't connect the awesome titles like the drunkard and the burgundy devil. This was too scary. You know, I can use my sophisticated brain to simulate it. She peeled off the thick steel armor and the strong wood piece by piece, and finally turned into a shy mecha girl dressed in wisps of clothing, with such a ferocious mind-feeding ability.
The old drunkard who can't even figure it out himself is really an extremely terrifying existence in this regard.
Just when I was shaking my head...
"Actually, I don't think there's any need to worry about this matter." Akara said suddenly.
I looked at Akara in confusion, it was about Xiao Heitan, how could I not be anxious?
"Maybe the current freeze is a good thing for her."
"Good...good thing?" I became even more confused.
"That's right. Although there is no basis for it, if you are willing to believe the prediction of an old woman like me, then just relax."
"Grandma Akara, thank you, I understand."
I nodded with great gratitude. As a powerful prophet, Akara can vaguely sense the future of many things just by intuition. However, if the other party is someone who has never met and is thousands of miles away, The little girl also needs to be down-to-earth in using prophecy. The more powerful the prophecy is, the more expensive it is to make a prophecy. This is probably a special restriction imposed by the rules on the prophecy.
Therefore, as the majestic elder of the alliance, Akara can spend a lot of time and energy to perform prophecy just because Xiao Heitan is his newly recognized daughter. I am grateful for this feeling no matter what.
"Just believe it. This is not a punishment to strengthen yourself. Of course, your daughter, as a father, has to step forward and reach out to save her, right?"
"Oh oh oh, Grandpa Kane, you are right."
When Kane said this, the daughter control attribute in his body immediately went berserk and burned. That's right, let me, the father, save the little black tan, Aru.
"Then Grandpa Kane, Grandma Akara, without further ado, I will find a way to recover my body and improve my strength now."
The blood in my body surged with excitement, and my expression became solemn. I began to seriously consider that the only way to quickly regain my strength now was the magic-replenishing method of the slutty maid. Do I really have to shamelessly go to the elves to seek a fusion? By doing this, will the bottle containing moral integrity really not have permanent cracks or leaks?
There should be other ways, such as going to Lena's place to replenish the girl's power, but this method seems unreliable. At least it is much less effective than the dirty maid's magic replenishment. I obviously spent several hours today. But after coming out of the tent, not only was I not full of energy, but my legs felt weak.
Does sister power really exist? My precious sister Lena, you must have listened to some strange folk rumors fabricated for the purpose of deceiving young girls from their precious first kiss.
"Ahem, Wu~"
Akara's heavy coughing sound suddenly came to my ears, which startled me. When I came to my senses, I turned back to look at her in confusion.
Please, I am following your long-standing wish and trying to find ways to improve my own strength. If there is nothing important, can you allow me to think about it quietly?
"I'm sorry to interrupt your thinking, but are these really the only questions you have?"
"Huh?" I tilted my head.
Then, he looked at Akela and Kane for a moment...
I clapped my hands and remembered.
On the contrary, I learned a lot about the Dragon Soul Grass from Jeluka. It was not the main purpose of my visit this time. The main purpose was not to ask about Xiao Heitan's true identity?
Unexpectedly, I was immediately attracted by one thing and forgot the main purpose. The brain is just a stupid single-core CPU, so it can only handle one problem at a time. I am really sorry.
Looking at myself again, I walked to the door unknowingly while thinking, and was about to leave. No wonder Akara and Kane had confused expressions.
I sat back with a smile and smiled sheepishly at the two old men. Anyway, they both knew the level of my brain's information processing ability, so I didn't need to feel too embarrassed. This is also the so-called dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. ,Uh-huh.
"I almost forgot. The main purpose of coming here this time is to ask you something."
"It's Xiao Heitan's identity, right?"
Akara accepted the topic with a smile. No wonder, it turned out that these two people had already understood my confusion.
"Sorry for hiding it from you. Regarding Xiao Heitan, I have learned a little bit about it since you decided to save her as a father."
"Oh, it would be best if you knew."
I nodded without feeling dissatisfied. It was a sensitive period at that time, and everyone was confused by the matter of the crystal shards. Therefore, the appearance of Little Heitan would make Akala think, "Who knows if this is Belial's?" Conspiracy" is not surprising.
"About this matter, Kane and I also discussed it and asked the investigation team to find a lot of clues. Unfortunately, this matter took too long, and Xiao Heitan's original parents were just ordinary people. As a civilian, you also know what it means to a civilian to be missing for five years."
"Yes, I understand." I responded after taking a deep breath.
Not to mention in the Dark Continent, even in the original world, if a neighbor you are not very familiar with disappears for five years, I am afraid it will not leave any impression on you, and people are panicked, and you are still living in dire straits. In the Dark Continent, no one would pay attention to a couple who had been missing for five years. It was difficult even for the alliance's reconnaissance force to find useful clues.
"I didn't have much hope at first, but it's a bit of an unexpected gain. Just wait."
With that said, Akara returned to her small room, came out after a while, took out a stack of letter paper in her hand, and handed it to me.
I lowered my head and read the text information one by one, and Akara's voice came from next to me.
"We obtained this information from an aging old man. It is said that he is somewhat related to Xiao Heitan's original father, and they participated in some work together about ten years ago, so I understand it more clearly.”
I looked at the information in my hand and fell into deep thought.
This should be regarded as an ordinary piece of information. To put it bluntly, the above content is a very rough and brief civilian history, without any value for appreciation. Xiao Heitan's original father inherited the inheritance from his dead father. The tools in his hands are just like the hundreds of thousands of miners in the Demon Fortress. They are just ordinary people who have worked in the mines for almost their whole lives.
The only thing worth noting is the following paragraph. About ten years ago, there was a "miner fever" in the Demon Fortress. It is said that in a mountain range dozens of kilometers away from the Demon Fortress, there was an accident. A miner discovered a precious and rare ore there. This secret spread quietly and was soon confirmed by a small number of doubtful miners. There was a small group of miners who dared to die and brought back a lot of it. A fortune was made from such ore.
As a result, the miners who knew the news were shocked. After working in the dark mines all their lives, who didn’t want to be rich and live a comfortable life one day? This secret was only known to a small number of people at first, not even the Alliance. Realizing that in this situation, small groups of miners took risks one after another.
As for why it is called an adventure, the reason is very simple. From the Demon Fortress to the small mountain range where the precious ore was found, you have to pass through many monster-infested roads that must be passed. It is estimated that the chance of surviving after passing back and forth from there is, It's only one-half, but don't underestimate the fear brought by this one-half. This is not a game. If you die, you won't be able to load the file.
However, even a one-half mortality rate could not stop the miners from dreaming of getting rich. Group after group of miners came one after another, leaving an unknown amount of blood and lives on the road, and were buried in the monster's mouth.
Moreover, with the continuous sacrifices, even simple-minded monsters, after tasting the sweetness, know how to hunt there often, so the one-half mortality rate quickly increases. Unfortunately, many miners are still immersed in the second half. The one-in-one opportunity to make a fortune is a dream, and as the news spreads, more and more miners are participating.
According to the final statistics, there were two to three thousand miners who died in this miner's craze. The only path leading to the mountains was covered with spots of desolate bloodstains and horrific mutilated corpses. In the future, , whenever old people mention this matter, even the bravest guys will tremble and call it the passage of death.
These are all things for later. As the number of miners in Taobao Dream continued to expand, the alliance quickly noticed and blocked this road. Otherwise, the number of miners who died would have been not only two to three thousand, but possibly twenty or thirty thousand.
This is the origin and end of the miners' craze. Of course, this has become history. Looking at it now, it can only make people who were not involved sigh slightly, shake their heads and say things like "man-made money is dead" Comment.
What caught my attention was Xiao Heitan's original father and the old man who provided information.
These two people also participated in the operation during the short-lived miners' boom period about ten years ago, and were lucky enough to come back alive.
Unfortunately, this good luck may have used up all their luck. The two of them found nothing on their first treasure hunting trip, and in the end they could only return empty-handed.
A few days later, Xiao Heitan's original father proposed a second treasure hunt. However, the old man was already vaguely aware of the increasing danger and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he was afraid of death and did not agree.
As a result, Xiao Heitan's original father angrily joined another group of people and set off together. Because of this incident, the relationship between the two people who were originally relatives and partners became indifferent.
At the end, the old man mentioned something, that is, when Xiao Heitan's original father came back for the second time, he still found nothing. The paper said that there were more than ten people who went with Xiao Heitan's original father at that time. , in the end he was the only one who came back. Not only was he strangely unscathed, but he also had an extra baby in his arms.
At that time, everyone was immersed in the miners' craze, and Xiao Heitan's original father was not an eye-catching person, so the sudden appearance of a baby girl beside him, except for the old man because of that unforgettable experience , except that she still remembers it, it has long been forgotten by others, and they only regard the baby girl as her biological daughter.
No wonder... No wonder the intelligence leader Jeluka and I have been asking for so long, but we can't find any useful information. It turns out that the thing is like this. In this world, the only person who knows the origin of Xiao Heitan is probably the old man. .
I took a deep breath and felt inexplicable.
Although I had already guessed that Xiao Heitan was not born to her original father, when I saw the description in black and white, I couldn't help but sigh. I didn't expect that Xiao Heitan's origin would have such a rough experience.
"That miner's craze is also recorded in the alliance's notes. It did happen about ten years ago. Xiao Heitan's age is probably about ten years old, so the old man probably didn't lie."
Akara explained with a sigh.
"I understand, Grandma Akara, thank the old man for me."
I raised my head and smiled. In any case, if I could provide such a powerful piece of information, it would be a matter of course for me to give the old man a prosperous life like a nobleman for the rest of his time.
"Don't worry, let me handle it. After all, he also helped the savior of our alliance. This contribution is huge." Akara teased me with a smile.
"However, this information can only prove that Xiao Heitan was not born from his original father. Based on this, it is absolutely impossible to know the true identity of Xiao Heitan. After learning this information, I immediately sent The reconnaissance team went to the mountain range where miners were popular in the past, and even searched all along the way, but no useful clues were found."
Having said this, Akara shook his head.
"Under what circumstances and where did her original father pick up Xiao Heitan? Why did Xiao Heitan appear there? Was he abandoned by whom? Also, I am very concerned about this. The old man mentioned that Xiao Heitan's original father's team was all killed by monsters on the way, but he was the only one who came back unscathed without being attacked at all. Maybe he was really lucky, but... maybe Maybe this is also a clue.”
"Grandma Akara is absolutely right."
I nodded, admiring Akara's attentiveness to death. It was indeed true. Xiao Heitan's true identity may be... no, it was definitely unexpectedly weird. This was reflected every time I recalled her strange and charming eyes. I already had this understanding when I saw her charming eyes.
"I think maybe we can get more useful information from you, maybe even enough information to determine Xiao Heitan's identity. Do you think so, dear Wu?"
Akara looked at me, her smile becoming more and more clear.
"Grandma Akara, it seems that your prophecy skills have improved again."
I flattered him a little, but of course, it wasn't flattering. Akara's prediction was really convincing.
After sorting out my thoughts, I slowly and word by word told the two old men the strange scene in Xiao Heitan's eyes that I saw that day.
I carefully observed the expressions of Akara and Kane. The expressions on their faces became more and more surprised, as if they had discovered something. This cheered me up and worked harder to describe the scene bit by bit. .
After a moment, the voice fell back, leaving only Akara and Kane with expressions full of surprise.
"You mean, those eyes have triple pupils?" Kane asked in order to confirm something.
"It looks like this, but if you look deeper, it should actually be more than three layers. But the deeper you look, the more you feel like your soul is being sucked in. In the end, I became confused myself."
I thought about it and replied.
"It turns out that's the case. It's not a triple pupil, and it feels like the soul is being attracted. It turns out that's the case. Then everything will be easy to explain." Kane breathed a sigh of relief, murmured to himself, and showed a look of "This way it will be done." Confirmed... a subtle smile.
Why do I say subtle, because that smile contained a hint of shock, interest, and... there was also a subtle meaning directed at me.
Subtlety within subtlety, how subtle it is, my whole being has become subtle.
"If the knowledge I have read is true, I think I already know the identity of Xiao Heitan. As you expected, she is indeed not a human being, and she is not one of the common or common ones known on the Dark Continent. It’s a rare race.”
After a pause, Kane's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he spoke every word with great confidence.
"Little Heitan should be...a legendary race that has been extinct for a long time, the Night Demon clan."
"The Night Demon Clan?"
When I heard this term for the first time, I had no idea what meaning it represented that made me burst into tears, so the ignorant asked a question fearlessly and weakly.
"What kind of race is that? Why did it become extinct? Where did Little Heitan come from?"
"This... the history of the Night Demon clan is a long story to tell."
For some reason, I felt Kane's eyes flickering, and there was a suspicious feeling that he was thinking about "should I tell this kid the cruel truth"...
Well, please wait until the next chapter when Moufan bursts into tears...V
