Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 25 An Early Crisis

When Zhang Tie and the other five left Tianhan City and returned to the starting camp, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

After returning to the camp, Jerome and the others changed their clothes again in Zhang Tie's tent, and then Zhang Tie sent them out of the refugee camp directly.

"Anyway, the Thor Mercenary Corps owes you a favor!" said the shriveled Professor Ximeng, hugging and saying goodbye to Zhang Tie. Although everyone has only known each other for one morning, they are comrades in arms who have fought together.

"Come to Amasi when you have time, I will introduce the hottest girl to you!" Zuo Dan said and gave Zhang Tie a bear hug, "Also, thank you for giving me the nickname, Black Whirlwind, I like!"

"You are a guy who can bring good luck to people!" Shrek also hugged Zhang Tie, and said a parting speech, "The current Tianhan City is like a treasury, to be honest, I don't even want to leave Already!"

When it was Jerome's turn, Zhang Tie also hugged him.

"Take care of yourself!" Jerome said to Zhang Tie.

"Take care too!" Zhang Tie said.

"Originally we wanted to go to Huaiyuan County, but it seems that we can't go for the time being. Professor Ximeng's discovery must be notified to Thor's headquarters as soon as possible, so that they can prepare for the contingency!" Jerome slightly regretted Talk to Zhang Tie.

"Are you planning to go to Huaiyuan County?" Zhang Tie was slightly surprised by this news.

"Well, I heard that there is a pharmacist in Huaiyuan County who has created a full-effect potion. After the Tianhancheng incident, the supply of various potions is now very tight. Amasi is a place where poisons are everywhere. As soon as the supply of antidote potions appears The problem will cause a lot of bad chain reactions. Originally, we planned to go to Huaiyuan County to find a solution after leaving Tianhan City, but now..." Jerome shook his head helplessly. They only had one airship. After the more important information, according to the priority of the matter, naturally we can only go back to Ames first.

"How many full-effect potions do you Thor need?"

"Thor's demand for full-effect medicine is at least 4,000 pieces per year!" Jerome replied. The 4,000-piece medicine transaction is considered a large amount anywhere, especially for a mercenary group.

If the Thunder God mercenary group belonged to Jerome, Zhang Tie would take it over without hesitation for a second, even if it was to give it to Jerome. Zhang Tie's purpose in life is very Influenced by his parents, he pays attention to the principle that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Jerome and Captain Colin once rescued half of him in the cave of the Golden Python during the trial in the Wolf Valley. life, then, Zhang Tie would naturally not be stingy with such a little full-effect potion.

However, the Thunder God Mercenary Group is not Jerome's. Jerome is just a person who has just been valued by the high-level mercenary group in the Thunder God Mercenary Group. , Then, all of this has to be thought about carefully, if you want to return the favor to Thor, it will be really wrong. This favor was returned to Jerome. At least the Thor Mercenary Corps had to accept Jerome's favor and know Jerome's weight. This would also benefit Jerome's future development in the Mercenary Corps.

Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Tie's mind.

Zhang Tie smiled, pretending to take something from the medicine pouch of the tactical vest on his body, but actually quietly took out two full-effect medicines from the Black Iron Fortress that he kept as a spare ,

Handed it to Jerome.

"The full-effect potion you are talking about, is this kind of thing?"

Zheluomu and Ximeng froze when they saw the two potions that Zhang Tie took out.

Under the sun, the clear crystal potion bottle in Zhang Tie's hand shone with a rainbow-like brilliance, which made the green medicine in the potion bottle even more mysterious and extraordinary. The unique Manjusawa logo on the potion bottle seemed to have a kind of magical power, which immediately attracted the attention of several people.

"Ah, Manshushahua, by the way, I heard that the full potion uses this Chinese logo..." Before Jerome could speak, the sharp-eyed Shrek yelled first.

"Zhang Tie, you also have this kind of thing?"

"How could the Zhang family not have the good things in Huaiyuan County!" Zhang Tie said casually.

Looking at the two potion bottles in his hand, Jerome's eyes suddenly lit up, "I heard that this kind of potion doesn't flow out much in Huaiyuan County, but no one has seen it in Ames. Having said that this potion is miraculous, can this potion really replace the primary detox potion?"

"If it's just detoxification, the effect is a little bit better than the primary detoxification medicine. Someone around me has tried it. This kind of thing can easily relieve the poisoning symptoms of Centipede Centipede!"

Hearing what Zhang Tie said, the curious Professor Ximeng took a full-effect potion and stared at it seriously, as if he wanted to open the potion bottle to check, but he was a little embarrassed, so he looked at it with a consulting eye. Zhang Tie took a look.

"It's okay, these two bottles of medicine will be given to you!"

Hearing what Zhang Tie said, Professor Ximeng immediately opened the sealing ring of the medicine bottle, and then put the mouth of the bottle to his nose and smelled it carefully, and then the expression on his face suddenly brightened. Zordan and Shrek also brought their heads together.

"Ah, why does this potion smell so good..." Zuo Dan suddenly called out.

"Is this the smell of super enzyme?" Ximengjiao looked at the bottle of potion, slightly absent-minded.

"What's the matter, Professor?" Shrek asked.

"Well, my dream when I was young was to be a pharmacist. I taught myself some knowledge of herbal apprentices. I also wanted to make super enzymes and become famous all at once. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed. I wasted a few years on this. Now I see This bottle of potion reminds me of the past..." Professor Ximeng shook his head, looking like he couldn't bear to recall the past.

Jerome looked at Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie could feel the inquiry and longing in his eyes.

"Next time you go to Huaiyuan County, you can go to Jinhai City to find the Golden Crow Trading Company, where you can get full-effect potions!" Zhang Tie said to Jerome.

"Golden Crow Trading Company?" Jerome was a little surprised when he heard about the trading company, because the so-called trading companies are all small business organizations, the bigger ones are trading companies, and the bigger ones are business groups. As I said before, a Golden Crow Trading Company in Jinhai City, Huaiyuan County actually possesses the hot and full-effect potion, which made Jerome feel a little unbelievable, "Could it be that the Golden Crow Trading Company is selling such things?"

"If someone else goes to the Golden Crow Trading Company to buy this, even if they spend a lot of money, they may not be able to buy it. If you go, they will definitely be able to buy it. The Golden Crow Trading Company has a special channel to get the full-effect potion!"

Not only Jerome understood Zhang Tie's words, but even Professor Ximeng, Shrek and Zordan next to him understood. Several people couldn't help but look at Jerome with a little surprise, Jerome When did this guy become so powerful? In any case, regardless of whether Zhang Tie's words were exaggerated or not, Jerome might get the full potion in Huaiyuan County, which was very important news for Thor.

Jerome took a deep look at Zhang Tie, and was inexplicably moved. When Zhang Tie said the words just now, Jerome finally became convinced that the young man in front of him might grow up to the point where even he felt strange.

There are some things between men that need not be said.

Jerome hugged Zhang Tie again, "Take care, I hope to see you next time!"

"You take care too!"

Zhang Tie finally separated from Jerome and the others. He watched the backs of Jerome and others disappear into the distance. Zhang Tie stood in the field for a while, then took a deep breath, looked Seeing the scorching sun above his head, he turned his head and returned to the camp.

The sun in the sky was shining brightly at the moment, but Zhang Tie felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Looking at the backs of those people who left, Zhang Tie didn't know whether the people who had just separated at this moment would have a chance to meet again in the future. Maybe this meeting was the last time.

Last year, Tang De once told him that the time from the outbreak of the third jihad would be as soon as five years, and Mann would be 20 years. The information that Professor Méng obtained from dissecting and analyzing the demonized puppet suddenly speeded up this time a lot.

The shortest time left for Zhang Tie is no longer four years, but one year, because according to Professor Ximeng's analysis, the city guards of Tianhan City have been inhabited by puppet worm eggs for more than 36 months. Not surprisingly, if the eggs of those puppet worms are allowed to grow naturally, at the latest next year, or even six months later at the earliest, those eggs will hatch completely naturally...

This is a very terrible message, and the meaning revealed by this message is even more chilling. It means that the lackeys of the Demon Race and the Three-Eyed Society developed among humans are planning to set off a demonic disaster in the Weiyi subcontinent. The time when the entire continent will be pushed into troubled times will be next year—it will be August next year at the latest—this is Professor Ximeng’s judgment on the latest hatching time of the puppet worm eggs.

The real troubled times have come, and Tianhan City is just the beginning. In the future, more and more places will become hell on earth like Tianhan City.

Zhang Tie didn't know if the destruction and violence of the Zhen family in Tianhan City would make certain plans of the Mozu and the Three-Eyed Society advance again, because since Professor Ximeng could analyze the information, Zhang Tie didn't believe Jin Yunguo Those big families in China will not be able to analyze it, and those other countries and forces on the mainland that have taken away more than one demonized puppet from Tianhan City will not be able to analyze it?

Once these people speed up the pace of dealing with holy wars and demonic disasters, then, in fact, they are forcing the Three-Eyed Society and the Demon Race to launch ahead of time. Therefore, it is possible to really leave time for myself and most ordinary people to prepare. ,Shorter!

Because all wars will not start until both sides are fully prepared. Wars always start at the beginning, which is a speed competition between the two sides!

Thinking about the news that made it difficult to calm down, Zhang Tie walked in the refugee camp with a slightly depressed mood. Looking at the sad, numb and hopeless faces, his mood gradually sank.

At this moment, Zhang Tie is like a man running on the plain. He was looking at the horizon in the distance, but the running man thought he should be able to run for a while longer and see more hope, but suddenly Suddenly, the running man found that the so-called horizon was just a mirage, but in fact, he was already standing on the edge of a cliff, and there was an abyss in front of him, and there was no way.

...

A red ball rolled and hit Zhang Tie's feet from a distance, causing Zhang Tie, who was immersed in his own thoughts, to turn his head and look to the side.

A four or five-year-old boy with a sunny face and a smile ran over from a distance, giggling, "Big brother, can you kick me the ball?"

Zhang Tie was taken aback by the bright smile on the little boy's face. It was the first time Zhang Tie had seen such a smile on someone's face in the refugee camp during the past few days. It was almost like seeing a ray of sunshine in a sky full of dark clouds.

Zhang Tie, who was a little dazed, waited until the little boy said it for the second time before reacting. With a light pick with his foot, he picked up the ball on the ground and picked it up in his hand. Zhang Tie walked towards the little boy with the ball. Squatting down, mō mō mō the little boy's head, and handed him the ball, "Why, are you alone? Where's your father?"

"My father is catching bad guys in Tianhan City!" The little boy said with a high air, "He is the police of Tianhan City. My father also has a set of clothes like yours, but his clothes are blue!!"

"Your father is catching bad guys in Tianhan City?" Zhang Tie couldn't react to such an answer. There are still bad guys in Tianhan City... No, are there still living people in Tianhan City?

"Yes, my mother told me that my father is amazing. He has caught many thieves before. Now we are camping outside. After my father has caught all the bad guys in Tianhan City, we can go back!"

camping? Zhang Tie looked at the refugee camp with tents everywhere, and was about to speak, when he saw a woman in her thirties running over in a panic, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiao Xing was playing ball just now. I didn't pay attention when I was there, I didn't touch you!"

"Mom, I'm talking about my father with this brother!" The little boy turned his head and said to his mother.

"Ah, Xiaoxing, let's go over there to play, okay? This brother has something else to do. Didn't my mother tell you that when we are playing, it is best not to affect others!"

"But I just wanted to ask this brother if he has seen my dad. Dad also has a set of clothes similar to this brother. This brother is also a policeman!" The little boy said innocently, and then asked Zhang Tie, "Brother , are you a police officer too?"

"Ah... yes!" Zhang Tie smiled.

"You catch bad guys too?"

"Almost, but not as good as your father. I haven't caught a thief yet!"

"Then you are also catching bad guys every day in Tianhan City. Have you ever met my dad? How is he doing now? Mom said that dad will write to me in a few days!"

The little boy didn't see it, but when he asked this question, his mother, who was squatting behind him, burst into tears. The woman held back her tears and looked at Zhang Tie with pleading eyes.

"What's your father's name?" Zhang Tie asked patiently.

"My father's name is Fang Weiqiang!"

"Oh, I've seen it. When I went to Tianhan City last time, I saw him catch several thieves! It's amazing."

"Really?" The little man suddenly became happy, "Then when you see him next time, can you tell him for me that Xing Xing misses him, it's fun to live in a tent here, and I want to be with him Play!"

"Okay!" Zhang Tie nodded.

The little boy happily threw the ball on the ground, then kicked the ball away again, giggling and chasing after his ball.

"Thank you!" the woman stood up and said to Zhang Tie, wiping her tears.

For such a mother's care, Zhang Tie couldn't find a word to say except for sighing, "He will know sooner or later!"

"It's only a day to make him happy. He's still young, and I don't want him to know that he doesn't have a father now!" There was strength and pain in the woman's eyes.

Zhang Tie glanced at the woman, "My name is Zhang Tie, and I'm in the camp of Huaiyuantang. If you need any help, you can come to me!"

"Thank you!" The woman couldn't help but shed tears again.

...

Zhang Tie left the refugee camp. That woman taught Zhang Tie a lesson just now. From that woman and that child, Zhang Tie learned a truth. You can't decide what happens, but you can at least decide your attitude.

A child can regard being in a refugee camp as camping and find fun living in a tent, so why can't he regard the unpredictable future as a gamble of life?

The beginning of the future is not good, but I seem to have taken a slight advantage in this bad start because of the full-effect potion. The sudden shortage of medicine resources means that the weight of the full-effect medicine in his hands has become heavier. What does this portend? More money, more opportunities to master resources, more pivotal, of course, there are more unpredictable dangers and backstabs that will rush towards you.

Zhang Tie returned to the camp, but he didn't expect that the two deacons in Qianlongtang were already waiting for him in his tent.

"Zhang Tie, the family elder wants to see you!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Tie's heart was shocked. The elders of the family summoned him, what would happen?

"Excuse me, do the two elder brothers know what it is?" Zhang Tie asked politely. Could it be that he was accused of bringing outsiders into Tianhan City? .

"We don't know either, just follow us!" The words of the two deacons were very polite, without any sense of coldness, which made Zhang Tie's slightly uneasy heart calm down.

Zhang Tie followed the two deacons directly to the airship flagship in the distance...
