Volume 1 Eternal Fire Chapter 34 Mine Stories
There are still more than a hundred kilometers from Xiangyang Town to Ash City, and the Apocalypse is galloping, he thinks that as long as he passes in a straight line, he will definitely be able to find Weiwei on the road, and the girl is usually very clever, so she should find a way to leave some traces.
Running dozens of kilometers, the night has fallen, Apocalypse had to slow down, not because he was tired, nor did it have anything to do with the dark night, but because the horses were too tired to run, in desperation, Apocalypse happened to see a crystal pit nearby, presumably there should be forage and water there for the horse to replenish his strength, he tied the horse to a tree on the side of the road, and walked over by himself.
"The smell of blood. Apocalypse drew his great sword, and as soon as he approached the pit, he smelled it, judging from the concentration, there should be at least twenty people who shed blood here, but there was no pungent feeling that dragon blood is peculiar, and Apocalypse judged that humans had been slaughtered here.
But this is very strange, the pit is the place where the prism crystal embryo is produced, and the residents of the villages and towns near each pit need to perform regular labor, and the content of the labor is to dig the crystal embryos, cut them and polish them into finished products, and then transport them to the crystal energy collection field to hang on the iron net, and wait for them to absorb the crystal energy themselves. However, as we all know, most of the prisms are to be handed over to the dragons, so all crystal pits and gathering fields are guarded by blood guards, both to protect the prism and to monitor whether humans are working hard.
So it's a strange thing that the humans in the pit are slaughtered, and the Blood Servants won't allow this to happen, after all, who should be allowed to mine when people die?
Apocalypse cautiously walked through the humble door, and saw the corpses scattered all over the place, and he carefully examined and found that there were no living people here, and finally relaxed, although the dead people were terrible, they would not hurt anyone.
Apocalypse stepped forward to check on the deceased and found that it was all gunshot wounds, and the energy bullets had scorched the skin and flesh of the wounds, so it was impossible to tell if it was the blood servant, after all, even the monkeys in the mountains had the ability to shoot.
Strangely, Isaac's line has not yet been pushed here, and it should not be the work of the rebels, but if it was the blood servant who did it, what is the reason?
Apocalypse was pacing and thinking, when he suddenly found a small object on the ground in front of him.
An iron hairpin with a rough metal floret soldered to it as a decoration, this is Vivi's belonging, and Apocalypse remembers the situation.
......
Under the Tanan Experimental Grounds.
"Ah, you see this little piece has fallen off the armor, Apocalypse, it's useless. Vivi shook her head and said.
"Chrisla's steel can be seamlessly combined after casting, so let's put it together the next time we repair it, it's not easy to find something in this era. Apocalypse glanced at it and said indifferently.
"Hmm...... All right. Vivi pursed her lips, and her emotions didn't seem to be very high.
The apocalypse reacted unprecedentedly, the girl wanted this little thing, and said with a smile: "I gave it to you." ”
"Really?! I'm going to attach it to the hairpin. Vivi jumped up happily and rummaged through the box for her welding tools.
Apocalypse was dumbfounded: "You want a piece of Chrisra steel, just to decorate the hairpin?"
"This is a gift you gave me, don't you know that today is my birthday!" Wei Wei is actually very strong, in order to secretly study alchemy, she has lived alone for several years, and she doesn't know how to endure loneliness and loneliness, but fortunately, when the apocalypse came, she finally gained a little right to be coquettish.
Apocalypse was stunned, silently took Sarevitto, carved something on the piece of steel with the tip of his sword, then put it in the palm of his hand, put his palms together and pressed it with all his might, and the aggrieved Chrisra steel turned into a metal flower with five petals.
"Wow! Apocalypse! Thank you. The girl took her birthday present, smiled brighter than a flower, and gave Apocalypse a big hug.
......
"Vivi, I will definitely come to your rescue, wait for me. Apocalypse clenched his fists and made up his mind.
Suddenly the apocalypse seemed to see a dark shadow flash from the corner, he re-grasped Sarevito, leaned in that direction, the sound of heavy footsteps seemed very harsh in the night, he cautiously pushed forward, examined every corner, and finally the apocalypse locked onto a rock, the black shadow must be hiding behind.
Apocalypse strode abruptly, leaping over the rocks and holding down the man hiding behind.
"Ahhh
Apocalypse obediently let go, he had no reason to embarrass a human, let alone a child, but this made the boy overwhelmed, he didn't know why the blood servant was so easy to talk to.
It's no wonder that now Apocalypse is covered in blood and looks hideous and terrifying, no matter what, it doesn't make people think that he is a human.
"I'm not a Bloodservant, my name is Longinus, kid, who are you?"
For some reason, the boy always felt a sense of familiarity in this person, and involuntarily said his identity: "My name is Vito, and I am a miner here. ”
"How could there be a miner as young as you, not even the Bloodservant would want a child less than fifteen. ”
"My father and brother were captured by them to serve, and they were worried that I would not be safe alone in the village, so they had to bring me in, but the blood servants didn't want me, and said that I ate rice, so they interceded with those bastards, promising that the crystal embryos I dug up would not take up any work, so I could barely come, but now they are all dead, whoaaa
Now that it was Apocalypse's turn, how could he know how to comfort a child?
"Son, stop crying, tell me, what's going on here?"
After all, Vito is young, and he has just experienced terrible things, and it is rare that he did not collapse on the spot, but when he speaks, he is upside down, but Apocalypse listens very carefully, because there is Weiwei's hairpin here, so maybe this little boy Vito will know about her situation.
After a long time, Apocalypse finally figured out what was going on here: it turned out that Vivi was captured by the blood servant and was about to be sent to the Ash Castle, but the horses were also not good here, so the blood servant also stopped to rest and locked Vivi in a hut in the mine, but the careless blood servant even forgot to search her body, he didn't know that Vivi still had a few Type III bombs and a pistol in her arms.
Now the pit was lively, and Vivi used her pistol to sneak up on the blood servant who had captured her here, and gathered all the miners to deal with the other two overseers who were dozing off and didn't understand what had happened. But after the victory, the miners panicked, they killed the blood servant only out of a moment of anger, but now that they have calmed down, they know that attacking the blood servant is a serious crime, so they all cry and mourn.
Vivi told them not to panic, and informed them that the human resistance in the south had been victorious, and they were going to lead everyone to run together, and the miners jumped up again and went to pack their bags, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside—a team of guards who were going to support Xiangyang Town happened to pass by and discovered the anomaly here.
The rest of the matter is clear, except for Vivi, everyone else was slaughtered, and Vito survived by hiding in the box where the crystal embryo was stored due to his short stature.
When the little boy finished speaking, he began to cry again.
The Apocalypse said to him, "Child, crying will not change anything. I'll send you to the rebels, and we humans will one day take revenge on them. ”
