Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 18 Super Ruins

Sam and Gerry arrived at the small town of Xiata after they separated from Zhang Tie in Eskil City. The two of them waited in the small town of Xiata for a few days, and then came here with a large group of pioneers.

The experience of the two people is not complicated. After coming here, the two people and other pioneers began to try to enter the underground of the glacier crevasse to find the city ruins to try their luck. In the constant trial and exploration, the two people and their His teammate slowly figured out some underground conditions, so ten days ago, after some preparations, Sam and Gerry entered the underground with some other pioneers, and they came out from below today.

This ten-day exploration, although it is not close to death, has also encountered many big or small dangers and twists and turns, and everyone has been tortured to the point of embarrassment.

What made everyone even more depressed was that they finally found something underground, and half of it was forcibly taken away when they returned to the ground. Facing the powerful force of the tribal alliance, their group of pioneers had no choice and bargaining room at all-either they were killed and lost everything, or they survived and handed over half of their things.

This is also the reason why Zhang Tie found them all downcast when he saw them just now.

"You guys actually harvested something from the ground below. I don't know what it is?" Hearing that Sam and Gerry had harvested underground, Zhang Tie immediately became interested. This interest did not come from greed, but from pure curiosity. .

Hearing Zhang Tie's question, Sam and Gerry glanced at each other, without any hesitation, they took out something from the storage bag they carried with them and gave it to Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie took the thing from Sam's hand first, and it was quite heavy in his hand. He took a closer look in his hand, and found that it was a lifelike metal deer, a handicraft. Although the surface was a little mottled, it was generally The metal luster is still maintained on the surface, and the shape is very complete.

According to current standards, this thing is about 900 to 1,000 years ago, and it is obviously a cultural relic before the catastrophe. Before the cataclysm, human technological civilization could do many things that cannot be done today, and produce many products that cannot be produced in this era. For example, the metal coating process of the thing that Zhang Tie is holding in his hand is not of this era. man can grasp. Zhang Tie knew this as soon as he held something in his hand.

These things, in this era, have a very high collection value. Many rich or rich people like to display a few cultural relics before the cataclysm to decorate their facades.

Based on Zhang Tie's foresight trained in the grocery store in Heiyan City, the thing Sam took out would be worth at least 30 gold coins if it were put in the grocery store. Of course, if the packaging is better, change it to another place If you meet a collector who likes these things again, the price of this thing may reach more than 70 gold coins or higher.

"That's right, this thing at least fully earned back your travel expenses back to the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and there's still some left over!" Zhang Tie nodded and returned the thing to Sam.

Sam sighed sadly, "It was originally a pair, but when I came out from below, those bastards from the tribal alliance took one away!"

Zhang Tie smiled, and took Gerry's stuff. Gerry's stuff was a bit strange, it was the size of a palm, and its surface was already rusty, but it could still be seen clearly that there were some number buttons on the surface of the thing.

Zhang Tie doesn't know what this thing is. It is probably a product of human science and technology before the cataclysm. The valuation of this kind of cultural relic with a strong color of human science and technology civilization before the cataclysm fluctuates too much.

There are a few silver coins to thousands of gold coins. These things involve too much professional knowledge, and they are relatively unpopular. Zhang Tie can't say how much they are worth.

After saying yes, Zhang Tie returned the thing in his hand to Gerry.

"By the way, Peter, why are you here, and how come you are so close to those Slavs in the ice and snow wasteland?" At this time, Gerry found that there seemed to be a lot of pioneers gathered around him and Zhang Tie. Surrounding this side in the distance, there are densely packed people. The situation seems a bit wrong. If it is to watch the fun, those people should go away, but now, their eyes seem to be focused on Peter, one by one. Seemingly a little afraid, he touched Sam quietly, and Sam also noticed.

Zhang Tie didn't care about those pioneers. Zhang Tie noticed it when the pioneers just started to surround him, but out of confidence in his own strength, he behaved very indifferently. In the eyes, it became a calm and outstanding temperament, and those people dared not approach easily.

"After I separated from you at the pier, I went to Eskil City. I met an enemy in the city, and I killed him. Then I was wanted by the police station in Eskil City, and then I fled After leaving Eskil City, I was caught by bounty hunters after wandering in the snowy wasteland for a while, so my current identity is actually someone else's captive and that...that...private property!" Zhang Tie Scratching his head, he said, and in a few sentences, he explained his current identity clearly.

It doesn't matter if Zhang Tie doesn't say anything, Sam and Gerry's eyes widened when he said this, even if Zhang Tie said that he is the son-in-law of the Slavs at the moment, it's not surprising, with Zhang Tie's handsome face, It was really possible, but what Zhang Tie told them--captives, made the two of them immediately stunned by Zhang Tie's answer.

"You said that you are now a prisoner of those Slavs. Damn, no way, you are riding a saber-toothed beast, hugging a big beautiful woman, and a large group of bodyguards are behind you. I think those Slav soldiers treat you very well." Respect, is this how prisoners are treated? If this is how prisoners are treated, please ask them if they still need prisoners!" Gerry yelled all of a sudden.

Sam, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Tie with some embarrassment, and his tone was full of envy, "The woman you hugged just now...is really... very beautiful, and has big breasts! Such a woman is even in the ice and snow. There aren't many wastelands!"

"Yeah, and it's obvious that the two of you definitely have an affair. Don't the Slavs have a habit of giving their beauties to their captives?"

Looking at the shocked expressions of Sam and Gerry, Zhang Tie laughed, "Of course not. First, I am a special prisoner. I only killed one bastard in Eskier City. Now the arrest warrant issued by Eskil City caused me to bear three lives. The arrest warrant was somewhat misunderstood. I probably found that I still have some use value, so I'm being polite to me! I knew that woman because of an accident. At that time, she didn't know the identity of my captive. Later, it didn't matter because of the above two reasons. !"

Zhang Tie succinctly explained the reason, and Sam and Gerry finally understood. They couldn't help being amazed that Zhang Tie's series of encounters in the ice and snow wasteland could be regarded as adventures.

"By the way, what are you going to do now?" Sam asked Zhang Tie.

"Well, I haven't made up my mind yet. Anyway, staying here is good. Maybe I will stay here for a few more days, and then leave after the arrest warrant is lifted!" Zhang Tie said after serious thinking, " what about you?"

"We plan to stay here for a while!" Gerry glanced at Sam, then moved his head closer to Zhang Tie, looked around, and lowered his voice very low, "Sam and I The discovery of the ruins this time may be a huge treasure, one"

Sam looked at Zhang Tie, and when Gerry said this, Sam nodded solemnly.

? This title made Zhang Tie stunned. Although he, a half-way pioneer, can imitate the pioneers very well, he is not a real pioneer. He has a good understanding of some secret codes and inherited knowledge among the pioneers There were not as many experienced pioneers, so when Gerry said this word, Zhang Tie couldn't react.

"What is?" Zhang Tie asked Gerry in a low voice.

"Has no one told you this kind of knowledge before?" Gerry glanced at Zhang Tie in surprise.

"No, I haven't been a pioneer for long, and I'm used to being alone, so I don't know much about many things!" Zhang Tie shook his head.

"Know the Star of God?"

"Know!"

"The so-called refers to the preserved and interesting city where the fragments of the Star of God fell during the catastrophe, because of the strange energy of the Star of God, wherever it falls, its fragments will form a strange space-time energy field , in this energy field, all lifeless matter will remain the same no matter how long it passes, without leaving any traces of time. It means the super relic brought by the star of God. Do you know what this means? "Gerry said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Zhang Tie was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard, because if this is the case, it means... It means that somewhere under this ice and snow wasteland, there may still be hidden A city or a part of it remained intact before the cataclysm. All the inanimate things in this city remained exactly as they were on the day of the cataclysm.

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

"At the beginning, it was just a guess and a fluke hope, because the location where the ruins found in the ice and snow wasteland and the legendary fragments of the Star of God were found are too close. Although many Stars of God were found near the ruins before the catastrophe There are precedents for the fragments, but those ruins were completely destroyed during the cataclysm. Although the special energy field of the Star of God fragments can prevent the things in those ruins from leaving traces of time, the ruins themselves were destroyed for other reasons. If it is seriously damaged and destroyed, the value of the things in the ruins will not be too high!"

Zhang Tie nodded as he listened. He remembered that he had just arrived in Evin Dara, and heard the reaction of the pioneers when they found the ruins and the Star of God in the Wilderness House bar. The act of blocking the entrance seemed to understand something at once. The pioneers were excited by a vague hope. As for the tribes in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland, some of the big figures in these tribes may have learned about it from certain channels. Some information, that's why I became jealous all of a sudden, and sent troops to occupy the entrance of the ruins all of a sudden-the things in the ruins of a city before the cataclysm that could be completely preserved, the value of which may be higher than ordinary The ruins are more than ten times bigger. For an ordinary relic, the big shots of those tribes may look down on such a small amount of money, but if there is a possibility that there is one here, then everything will be different, and no one will dislike their own money.

Seeing that Zhang Tie was thinking, Sam quietly stuffed a small ball hidden in his sleeve into Zhang Tie's hand.

Zhang Tie looked at the thing, and it was a complete piece of rubbish, but its material was a bit strange, like paper and a bit like the material he had seen before for the Norman Empire to make his military officer certificate, it was red, It is very tough in the hand, and it seems to be the packaging of something, but he is a little unsure.

"what is this?"

"The wrapping paper of ham sausage, the wrapping paper of ham sausage before the cataclysm, this kind of paper was called plastic before the cataclysm, if this kind of wrapping paper hadn't been in the special energy field of the star of God, it would have gone through such a long period of time. time, it could not have been so well preserved, and, more importantly, this

The contents of the wrapping paper seemed to be eaten by someone. This was discovered by Sam four days ago in a hidden corner of the ground! "

"Did you find this thing underground?" Zhang Tie's expression became serious.

"Yes, we don't know who threw this thing, but obviously, someone has found something in the ground and the preservation of those things is definitely beyond most people's imagination. The guy who threw this thing may be It is a pioneer. When he wanted to come out from below, because the food was exhausted, he had to take out the food he got below and eat it! At this time, the guy who left this thing has either already He made a fortune and flew away with the most valuable thing he found, completely away from this place of right and wrong, or he is still here somewhere and ready to come for the second time! Or it is also possible that he was killed by someone else! "

"You want to fight once?"

"This kind of opportunity is what every pioneer dreams of. How can you be reconciled if you don't gamble once!"

"Peter, let's do it together!"

"Sam and I have remembered the underground passage where we found this thing. As long as we prepare here for a few more days and explore along that underground passage, we will definitely gain something!"

"Wait for me to think about it. My current identity is a bit sensitive. If I act alone, it may bring some unpredictable dangers and troubles to the two of you!" Zhang Tie thought about it seriously, and did not agree to the two of them right away. , but did not refuse. What attracted Zhang Tie at this time was not so much the wealth in the ruins, but the super ruins created by the Star of God that might still preserve the appearance of the city before the cataclysm.

...

After chatting with the two of them for a while, telling them what to pay attention to at this time, and promising to give them some necessary help, Zhang Tie was about to get up and leave.

Seeing that Zhang Tie was about to leave, the group of pioneers who had been surrounding him in the distance stirred slightly. A pioneer who was about sixty years old was surrounded by several people and walked towards Zhang Tie from the crowd.

"Mr. Peter, I am very grateful for what you did that day. You saved many lives. Because of you, many of our companions did not shed their blood in vain!" Etiquette used to show respect - arms crossed, shoulders bowed slightly.

"You're welcome!" Zhang Tie nodded.

When the two were talking, Zhang Tie saw that all the pioneers around Ao had quieted down, and Zhang Tie knew that the old man must have something to say to himself.

"I heard that you are also a pioneer?"

"Not bad! If you have anything to say, just say it..."

The elderly pioneer looked around, then gritted his teeth, "After discussing with the leaders of the various pioneers, we have an unfeeling request to ask Mr. The general leader of all the pioneers in the canyon! Lead us to complete the excavation of the ruins.

"

The pioneers are a relatively loose organization, but many pioneers in this organization will automatically combine many times to form some temporary pioneer teams gathered for certain goals. The leader of the team is the team leader . Because they are used to being loose, once the pioneers get together, they will pay great attention to the group's action and the authority of the leader, which gives the leader great authority in these temporarily formed teams. Such authority is comparable to that of the leaders of many paramilitary organizations.

When the army of the tribal alliance expelled these pioneers, it was the pioneers led by several leaders who confronted the army of the tribal alliance. Great effect.

The general leader of these pioneers? Zhang Tie did not expect that these pioneers would ask him to make such a request, which surprised Zhang Tie very much.

You must know that in addition to having great power, the leader of a pioneer team also has the right to distribute 3% of the wealth unearthed by the entire team. Look at the seven or eight thousand pioneers gathered in the relic canyon, this 3% The distribution of wealth and the rights of the general leader are not small.

"Have you made up your mind?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile, of course he knew what these people were thinking. Growing up to this day, Zhang Tie has never found any bastard in himself. Generally speaking, he would not have his part in such a good thing.

The old man stood with several people around him.

"Okay, I accept!"

Smiles had just appeared on the faces of several people, but Zhang Tie's next words froze their smiles on their faces.

"The first order I give now is that everyone hug their heads and squat down, and learn how to jump a hundred times like a frog!"

Seeing those people's sluggish expressions and motionless looks, Zhang Tie sighed. The sagacious brilliance in his eyes almost made those people dare not look directly at them, "So, you didn't actually think it through, did you? The conditions offered will not be changed just because of me!"

After saying this, Zhang Tie didn't say anything else, and left the pioneer camp directly.

...

Zhang Tie had been thinking about the underground ruins all the way. He had just returned to the Gray Eagle Tribe, and the first words Aurora saw made Zhang Tie realize that he didn't need to think about anything.

"You've been living in style the past few days!" Aurora sneered, her voice was stiff, "But don't forget, you are my private property. You must obey my orders. I will officially notify you now and prepare for it." , and enter the entrance of the underground ruins with me tomorrow!" (To be continued "This article is provided by x-on:草羽魔步".
