"Depends on the dust of the floating crystals in my body." After showing her arms covered with blood spots to Leon and the other two, the robber girl explained in a low voice in the shocked eyes of the female reporter: "I was born in the floating crystal mining area. Before I was born by my mother, my body was already full of these dusts. These things are part of my body. My grandmother said that floating crystals have agglomeration properties. Once activated, these small dusts 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, and their throats and lungs are completely broken. And the floating crystals in the Kingdom of Korok are in a low-intensity activation state all year round. The closer I get to there, the more painful my body is, so as long as I try a few more times, I will definitely find the location of the Korok Palace." It actually depends on this method... After listening to the robber girl's way of finding 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, it's not difficult to imagine what kind of life they lived before from these occasional words. "I have a few more questions to confirm." After a moment of silence, Leon asked again:
"There are more than 800 blocks in the Kingdom of Korok, and each block is inlaid with floating crystals. How can you be sure that the floating crystals under the Korok Palace will attract you?" "Depend on the number of the mining area." The robber girl replied calmly: "Because the floating crystals will have agglomeration after being activated, in order to avoid mutual influence, the floating crystals under those blocks are mined in different ways, with different proportions of explosives, mining equipment and detergents. The materials are different. So theoretically speaking, the floating crystals mined in each mining area are different, and my family is from Mining Area No. 1. My grandmother heard from the mine supervisor that the floating crystals mined in Area No. 1 are specially supplied to the royal area. " So that's it... After listening to the robber girl's words, Leon nodded slightly, and the female reporter who finally recovered from the shock took two steps forward and grabbed the skinny arm that looked quite scary, and said incoherently: "How can this be? ! Those floating crystals are If it is so...you...does it hurt?" "Not really." After hearing the female reporter's question, the robber girl shook her head and said: "I am young and my body can still grow. As long as I eat more, I can still bear the impact of these dusts. It will probably take until my bones stop growing and my internal organs stop growing before they start to wear my body out." "Wear?" "It means rotting." After pointing to the blood spots on her arm, the robber girl answered in a steady voice: "Uncle Mazbi told grandma that when my body If the body grows and the cell replacement rate slows down, and it is not enough to replace these cells before rejection occurs, then these blood spots will change from the size of rice grains to the size of beans. Then the skin will not be able to maintain due to the rejection below, and large areas of ulceration will occur. After about a year, these ulcers will become the size of pigeon eggs, and my internal organs will also begin to ulcerate, and then die within about half a year. " "..." That is to say, from the body stopping growing to being tortured to death by these dusts, it only takes one and a half years? Looking at the girl in front of her with an unusually calm expression, as if she was not talking about herself, the female reporter couldn't help but clench her hands suddenly.
"Then you...how old are you this year?" "Fourteen years old." Fourteen years old... After listening to the robber girl's answer, the female reporter couldn't help biting her lip, and then couldn't help but move her eyes away, and didn't know how to look at her anymore. Even if the nutrition can keep up, a person's rapid growth stage will most likely stop at the age of 17 or 18, and girls will stop growing earlier than boys, and some will even stop growing at the age of 15 or 16. If this child is also like this, then her life has already entered the countdown. It may be less than a year before she will start to suffer from illness and then die with festering all over her body. So although she looks like she is not yet an adult, she has actually entered the countdown. Like many elderly people in their twilight years, she is about to reach the end of her life... "Then you...you..." The female reporter, shocked by the cruel facts, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand after saying "that" twice, and couldn't ask any more questions. Leon on the side took over the conversation and asked: "You have left the mining area, so can't the dust left in your body be metabolized over time with drugs or other methods?" " Uncle Mazbi tried it, but 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 and internal organs are actually lucky. If there is floating crystal dust in the brain and nerves, they can't even control their bodies and will die right after birth. " "Who is this Uncle Mazbi 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 slightly cold, but then she said with some complexity: "He originally came to treat the overseers, but after seeing our situation, he seemed to have a quarrel for a while, and then he stayed in Cheshire and treated many miners for free. My brother and I were able to escape because of his help. 's busy.” "What about him now?" "I don't know, maybe he's dead." The robber girl looked a little sad and said: "His health was also not good. He had been hit by an aerial vehicle in the mine. His lung injury was worse than grandma's. When my brother and I ran out, he was already coughing up blood every day." "..." When he heard this, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and fell into silence again. The female reporter, who calmed down her emotions, said with slightly red eyes: "Then you... what if you don't go to the mine? What will the supervisors of the Kingdom of Korok do and attack you directly?" "No, the overseers of the Kingdom of Korok will only care about whether the mining area can operate normally and not allow people to leave casually. They will not care about anything else." The robber girl gritted her teeth and said: "But even though they don't do anything, in Cheshire and several other large mining areas, the plants are dead 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, can you only go to the mines to mine floating crystals? After understanding Cheshire's "operation" mode, the female reporter's lips were bitten and left a deep white mark. Leon on the side sighed inwardly, then took out a silver knife and cut off The ropes tied to the bodies of the robbers brother and sister. "I'll take the deal you proposed."
