Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages Chapter 125 – 125 Mining in the Lava World

125 Mining in the Lava World

He chatted with Qing Niao and started to walk back.

There was already movement in the houses along the street, and figures had appeared in many of them.

People began to walk on the streets. It was no longer as deserted as before.

Suddenly, someone rushed out of a house beside them, heading straight for Fang Ping and Qing Niao.

Qing Niao hurriedly pull out his weapon, stopping Fang Ping from taking two steps back. He looked warily at the person who was rushing over.

She rushed over and knelt heavily in front of Fang Ping and Qing Niao with a thud. Her hair was disheveled, and she raised her haggard face to look at Fang Ping and Qing Niao.

Fang Ping was shocked. He looked at Qing Niao. Qing Niao also looked at Fang Ping, not knowing what had happened.

“Wuwuwu, what you guys said just now, is it true?”

“W-What did you say?”

“You just said that Young Master Chen Long is returning to Fire Dragon City. Is that true?” As she spoke, she knelt and walked forward, wanting to hug Qing Niao's thigh.

“My entire family is dead. I only have one daughter left. If I can't see her, what's the difference between dying and living? I beg you, tell me, is Young Master Chen Long coming back?”

Qing Niao retreated and said, “Yes, Chen Long is on the way to Fire Dragon City. He should be here in a few days.”

“Wuwuwu.”

Hearing Qing Niao's affirmation, she immediately sat on her side on the ground and buried her head to cry. Her messy long hair covered her face, which was dry and yellow.

Fang Ping looked around. Some people stood quietly and watched, not saying a word.

Fang Ping did not know what had happened to her, nor did he know what had happened to her family, nor did he know what had happened to the daughter she had mentioned. He only knew that Chen Long seemed to be a hope to the people here.

Hope had not appeared for a while it seems. Many people had already forgotten what it's like to have it, but those who had fallen into despair still believed in that wisp of hope.

Chen Long. This name seemed to have a lot of meaning in Fire Dragon City.

Qing Niao looked at the woman on the ground and said after a while, “Let's go back.”

“Okay.”

People looked over from time to time, but no one else approached.

Qing Niao seemed to be in low spirits as well. He was no longer in a good mood after looting and basically stopped talking and walked forward with his head lowered.

The shop where the fight happened earlier was already closed. It was unknown if it was because of the fight just now.

However, he was not in the mood to consider this now. He continued walking back and found the blacksmith shop.

Another billowing heat wave greeted him.

“You're back again? What are you buying this time?”

The burly man from before happened to be wiping his sweat at the door again. Qing Niao handed the weapon over. “I'm selling something this time.”

He took the weapon and looked at it. He touched the red spot in the middle of the spear shaft. It was a bloodstain.

The blood was not dry yet.

At this moment, the burly man's expression became serious. “The weapons of the City Defense Army and the bloodstains. Did you kill the City Defense Army?”

“Just tell me if you want it or not.”

“The City Defense Army is weak, but behind supporting them are the inner city's personal guards. Be careful not to get into trouble.”

As he spoke, he threw the weapon to the corner of the wall. There was still a pile of abandoned weapons there.

“Five copper horns. They won't be able to trace it back to you. Let's go.”

Tossing the money to Qing Niao, he slung the towel back over his shoulder, turned, and walked in, shouting, “Gray, come and melt these weapons.”

“Let's go back.”

Back in the courtyard of the Saint Laurent Chamber of Commerce, the guard at the door stood dutifully.

In the courtyard, no one had returned yet. Qing Niao walked in and went to get his water bag. He gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.

He took a deep breath and said, “Fang Ping, I want to know the situation in Fire Dragon City. Who do you think will know?”

“Chen Longn.”

“Who else?”

Fang Ping walked to Qing Niao's side. “Andre, he might know. I'll ask him when he comes back. What's wrong? You don't look too good.”

“I'm fine.” took another sip of water.

“Can you tell me?” Fang Ping tried asking Qing Niao.

After meeting the woman who was crying, Qing Niao's condition became not good.

However, Qing Niao remained silent.

Fang Ping decided it was best to stop asking.

Everyone had their own experiences.

In the courtyard, someone was moving things, wood, a large pot, and various ingredients. It looked like they were preparing dinner.

One look at this scene, it had to be said that William was really rich.

In this world where strength reigned supreme, the gap between the rich and the poor would only widen.

Yet overall, society was still relatively harmonious.

Thinking of money, Fang Ping thought of Tang Jie.

Then, he remembered that he had yet to settle the money to buy his life for a year.

Forget it, I won't think too much about it. I'll take it one step at a time.

He took out an energy fragment from his bag and decided to accumulate energy.

When night fell, the surrounding noise became louder. Fang Ping felt that the efficiency of accumulating energy was decreasing, so he ended his cultivation and opened his eyes.

Qing Niao and Andre were chatting not far away. Fang Ping stood up and prepared to walk toward them.

As soon as he stood up, he realized that many people were looking at him.

So what now?

Fang Ping did not know either. He walked toward Qing Niao and Andre.

Seeing Fang Ping walk over, Andre first smiled and said, “Fang Ping, your condition has been very good recently. I just heard Qing Niao complaining that he has to stay away from you when he cultivates in the future. Otherwise, there won't be any energy left for him.”

Qing Niao quickly said, “I didn't say that. I said to stay away from you and not affect your cultivation speed.”

He glanced at the large pot in the middle of the courtyard. Dinner had not started yet, so Fang Ping sat beside them.

“Andre, do you know what happened to Fire Dragon City?”

“I just finished talking to Qing Niao about it. Why? Are you interested too?”

Fang Ping nodded. “I want to know too.”

“Actually, I don't know much. Let me think about where to start.”

Andre thought for a moment and said, “Let's talk about the current situation of Fire Dragon City. Because of its special location, Fire Dragon City is surrounded by ice and snow. In addition, the Goblins and Trolls outside are gradually becoming stronger. It's difficult to go out and the trade route is blocked. Most of the city is now basically self-sufficient.

“Therefore, in Fire Dragon City, everyone has to contribute their value. Merchants and mercenaries have heavy taxes, farmers work hard, a portion of them farm yellow melons outside and raise pigs. A larger portion of them go to the Lava World to mine.”

“Lava World? Mining?”

Andre nodded. “Do you think Fire Dragon City can maintain a warm environment in the highlands, surrounded by snow and cold wind? Even the windproof wall needs energy. The foundation of Fire Dragon City is actually a large number of Flame Rocks buried underground.

“They provide warmth to Fire Dragon City, ensure the growth of yellow melons, provide energy, and make the windproof wall. It can be said that Fire Dragon City is where it is today because of the Flame Fire Stone.”

When Andre said that, Fang Ping was a little puzzled. “From what you said, these problems should have existed since the beginning of Fire Dragon City's construction. Fire Dragon City has existed for so many years, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?”
