Chapter 121 The Black Dragon is Born

Thousands of years ago, before meteorites landed.

In the very center of the island where Blue Taro Country is located, there is a huge mountain range that occupies 1/10 of the island's area.

After the meteorite fell from the sky, the mountain range was shattered and turned into the current chaotic star rock.

In the distant colonial company era, Star Rock was once the largest mineral producer on the entire island.

There are savage and ferocious indigenous tribes here, and the mysterious Black Death Hell was born.

It can be said that it has always been the Chaotic Star Rock that has dominated the rise and fall of the entire island.

Even now that the Black Death Hell has disappeared, this is still the case.

Because the newly discovered huge mineral deposits in the Blue Taro Country were the former Black Death Prison.

Thinking about it, this is normal. If the Hell of Death hadn't been so fierce and powerful that the mining giants were so frightened, how could they not be tempted by such a piece of fat?

For those mining giants, how can they be willing to leave without digging up all the rare minerals on this island?

After Gutav ascended the throne, the Black Death Prison mysteriously disappeared.

Huge amounts of rare minerals have been exposed to the world again, supporting half of the blue taro country's export trade.

Correspondingly, this originally desolate and abandoned land was once again filled with people.

In just a few decades, surrounding towns have sprung up one after another and turned into cities with a population of millions.

Surrounding the Chaotic Star Rock, a small city group was born.

······

"I didn't expect that I would be hiding here."

"Looking at where the needle is pointing, it seems that we have to go deep into the mountains."

In a small city near Luanxingyan, Chen Qi slowly stopped the car.

I'm used to driving maglev sports cars, but I'm really not used to this kind of snail-like speed.

But we still need to be cautious. God knows if the news that he was in charge of the blood salt case has been revealed?

My maglev sports car really revealed my whereabouts and identity.

Seeing that the case is about to be solved, we cannot fail at the most important link.

The reason why we stopped at this time was because the terrain environment ahead was relatively chaotic and was no longer suitable for such ordinary vehicles.

Chen Qi was too lazy to find another off-road vehicle. For him, walking was more convenient and faster.

Then Chen Qi stopped taking detours and went straight in the direction of the pointer. He just speeded up his pace slightly and reached 30 meters per second.

This speed, which is astonishing in the eyes of ordinary people, is really just Chen Qi taking a leisurely walk. He even has time to look at the surrounding scenery.

······

The landform of Luanxingyan is indeed quite special, with dense ravines and faults everywhere.

The most special thing is that the magnetic field here is extremely chaotic.

If ordinary people are not familiar with the environment here, they will accidentally encounter "ghosts hitting the wall" and completely lose their way.

But these problems really have no impact at all on Chen Qi.

Originally, Chen Qi was worried that such a special landform would affect the locking of the compass, but it turned out that he had underestimated the Earth Master after all.

There was no problem with the compass locking, not even a slight deflection.

An environment like Chaos Star Rock, which in the eyes of ordinary people and even extraordinary beings, is extremely complex, in the eyes of well-informed Earth Masters, is really just a calm puddle, where your shoes get wet all because of your own carelessness.

······

"Is that where the Black Death Prison used to be?"

"Business is really booming now!"

After climbing over a mountain, Chen Qi saw a dense industrial area.

Surrounding a large black mountain, mining, smelting, non-ferrous metal processing, and many mining companies gathered here have even formed a small city in the mountain.

After learning about the mystery of the Black Death Prison, Chen Qi once thought about visiting this legendary prison where King Gutav was imprisoned.

After some inquiries, I learned that this place had long been turned into a mining area, and the original huge mountain was directly destroyed by the explosion.

This is really clean, leaving no trace.

Unexpectedly, as luck would have it, he actually came here today.

"Hiding in that small city below?"

“Interesting, you really know how to choose a place.”

Chen Qi gathered his strength, turned into an ordinary person, and walked towards the small town below.

······

The history of Black Iron City is only 40 years, and almost all the citizens are migrant miners.

The reason for this is because it is only 10 miles away from the former Black Death Hell.

Before the Black Death Prison disappeared, no one except those unlucky death row prisoners dared to approach it for hundreds of miles.

Even those natives who were lucky enough to survive did not dare to approach their once sacred mountain again.

So this place was really deserted before, until the mountain collapsed.

There are two completely different rumors about the collapse of the giant black mountain, or the disappearance of the Black Death Hell.

One natural option is for the kingdom's army to take action and directly use explosives to clear the way, in order to obtain mineral resources.

The second theory is full of mystery. On the day when the king ascended the throne, a terrifying black dragon flew out of the Black Death Prison in the mountains.

The terrifying black dragon tore the mountain into pieces, completely exposing the massive mineral resources.

Regarding these two completely different rumors, the residents of the small town with a majority of miners naturally believed the first one.

The second type of rumor seems to have been made up by those sycophants in order to flatter the king.

······

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong!"

At the only elementary school in Black Iron City, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Thirty-year-old Hammond finished his teaching duties for the day and walked toward home.

His home is located in the northernmost part of the city, very close to the edge of the city.

It definitely belongs to a suburb within a suburb, and you can see the hillside outside when you look up.

But because the land was cheap enough, he was able to buy a secluded courtyard with his meager salary.

Although he can't see any neighbors within a few hundred meters, it doesn't have any impact on him who lives alone.

As usual, Hammond opened the courtyard door.

However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard, his body suddenly froze.

"Strange, how did you find out?"

"Although I didn't find any mechanism on the courtyard door, to be on the safe side, I would jump over the wall to enter your house."

"As an ordinary person, it should be impossible for you to notice my intrusion."

"Aren't you an ordinary person?"

A stranger's voice came from Hammond's room.

Hammond's expression changed several times, but he finally walked into the yard as usual.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you break into my house?"

After opening the door, Hammond saw a blond man on his familiar workbench.

But he acted surprisingly calm and composed, without any sense of panic.

"Hammond, occupation [scholar], suspected to be a senior apprentice."

"I have entered and exited the Blue Taro Country three times in the past 10 years, and now I teach in a primary school in Black Iron City."

"This is all the information I found about you."

"So can you please satisfy my curiosity? Will scholars not be affected by the King's Game?"

The blond man who appeared in Hammond's room was naturally Chen Qi.

Now he is wearing the vest of [Jomoa Chris].
