Chapter 494 Cheshire
Chapter 494 Cheshire
"Depends on the floating crystal dust in my body."
After showing her blood-stained arms to Leon and the other man, the robber whispered to the shocked eyes of the female reporter:
“I was born in the Floating Crystal Mine. Before I was born, my body was already covered with this dust. This thing is part of my body.
Grandma said that floating crystals have agglomerative properties. Once activated, these tiny dust particles will spontaneously gather towards larger floating crystal blocks of the same origin. Every year, people in the mining area get close to the running floating vehicles, causing the floating crystal dust in their bodies to be sucked away, causing their throats and lungs to be broken.
The floating crystals in the Korok Kingdom are always in a low-intensity activation state. The closer I get to them, the more pain I feel. So as long as I try a few more times, I will definitely find the location of the Korok Palace."
This is the method...
After hearing how the robber girl found the Korok Palace, even though he had made some mental preparations, Leon still couldn't help but fall silent.
Although the robber girl didn't deliberately talk about her life before she and the robber brother escaped from Cheshire, from these occasional words, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of life they lived before.
"I have a few more questions to confirm."
After a moment of silence, Leon asked again:
"There are more than 800 blocks in the Korok Kingdom, and each block is inlaid with floating crystals. How can you be sure that the floating crystals under the Korok Palace will attract you?"
"Depends on the mine number."
The robber girl replied calmly:
“Because floating crystals have agglomerative properties after being activated, in order to avoid mutual influence, the floating crystals under the blocks are mined in different ways, with different ratios of explosives, mining equipment, and detergent materials.
So theoretically speaking, the floating crystals mined in each mining area are different, and my family is from Mining Area 1. My grandmother heard from the mine supervisor that the floating crystals mined in Area 1 are specially supplied to the royal area. "
I see……
After listening to the robber girl's words, Leon nodded slightly, and the female reporter, who had finally recovered from her shock, took two steps forward, grabbed the skinny arm that looked quite scary, and said incoherently:
"How can this be possible?! Those floating crystals are so...you...does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
After hearing the female reporter's question, the robber girl shook her head and said:
"I'm young and can still grow. As long as I eat more, I can still bear the impact of the dust. It will probably start to wear away my body only when my bones stop growing and my internal organs stop increasing in size."
"Wear and tear?"
“It just rotted.”
After pointing to the blood on her arm, the robber girl replied in a steady voice:
"Uncle Mazbi told grandma that as my body grows, the rate of cell replacement slows down and is not enough to replace the cells in these parts before rejection occurs, then these blood spots will change from the size of rice grains to the size of beans.
Then my skin would no longer be able to maintain itself due to the rejection from below, and large areas of ulceration would occur. After about a year, when these ulcers became the size of pigeon eggs, my internal organs would also begin to ulcerate, and I would die within about half a year. ”
"..."
That means it only takes a year and a half from the time the body stops growing to the time it is tortured to death by the dust?
Looking at the girl in front of her with an unusually calm expression, as if she was not the one talking about herself, the female reporter couldn't help but clench her hands suddenly.
"So...how old are you?"
"Fourteen."
Fourteen years old...After hearing the robber girl's answer, the female reporter couldn't help biting her lip, and then couldn't help but move her gaze away, not knowing how to look at her anymore.
Even if the nutrition is adequate, a person's rapid growth will usually stop at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and girls will stop growing earlier than boys, with some even stopping at fifteen or sixteen.
If this child is like this, then her life has already entered the countdown. In less than a year, she may begin to be tortured by illness and then die with festering all over her body.
So even though she looked like she was still a minor, she had actually entered the countdown. Like many elderly people, she was about to reach the end of her life...
"Then you...you guys..."
The female reporter was shocked by the cruel facts. After saying "that" twice, she couldn't help but put her hand over her mouth and couldn't ask any more questions. Leon on the side took over the conversation and asked:
"You have already left the mining area. Can't you use drugs or other methods to metabolize the dust left in your body over time?"
"Uncle Mazbi tried it, it didn't work."
The robber girl shook her head and said:
“The way to activate the Floating Crystal is to connect to a certain form of energy, and Uncle Mazbi said that there is also energy in the human body that can be directly absorbed by the Floating Crystal dust.
Children like me who have dust in their flesh, blood and internal organs are actually lucky. If there is floating crystal dust in their brains and nerves, they won’t even be able to control their bodies and will die right after they are born.”
"Who is this Uncle Mazibi you are talking about?"
"Uncle Mazbi is a scholar from the Kingdom of Korok."
When the Kingdom of Korok was mentioned, the robber girl's eyes turned cold, but then she said with some complexity:
"He originally came to treat the overseers, but after seeing our situation, he seemed to make a fuss for a while, and then stayed in Cheshire, treating many miners for free. It was his help that enabled my brother and I to escape."
"What about him now?"
"I don't know, maybe he's dead."
The robber girl said with a somewhat gloomy expression:
"His health wasn't good either. He was hit by a mine's hovercraft, and his lungs were more seriously injured than grandma's. When my brother and I ran away, he was already coughing up blood every day."
"..."
Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and fell silent again. The female reporter, who had calmed down, said with red eyes:
"Then...what if you don't go down the mine? What will the supervisors of the Korok Kingdom do? Will they attack you directly?"
"No, the overseers of the Korok Kingdom only care about whether the mine can operate normally and whether people are allowed to leave at will. They don't care about anything else."
The robber girl gritted her teeth and said:
"Even though they won't do anything, plants can't grow in Cheshire and other large mining areas, and there are almost no animals. Everything, including food, must be exchanged for the mined floating crystals!"
So if you don't want to starve to death, you can only go down to the mine to mine floating crystals?
After understanding Cheshire's "operating" mode, the female reporter bit her lips leaving deep white marks, while Leon sighed in his heart, then took out a silver knife and cut the ropes that tied the robber brother and sister.
"I accept the deal you proposed."
