Snow had thought that after calling the convoy members, they would definitely not approve of escorting the residents to the edge of the forest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but I didn't expect that when I heard that Snow was going to use iron ore to build weapons. Abra and the lads were as excited as if they had been beaten with blood.

Weaponry has always been a shortcoming of the town's guards, and Abra had proposed to the old mayor that he should leave some good ore and quietly exchange some weapons to come back. However, he was rejected by Laosk, because it was difficult for the town itself to refine good iron for crafting weapons, and if you wanted to exchange it, you had to go to the border fortress.

Iron ore is not a gold coin, you can carry it around. It takes a lot of iron ore to exchange for weapons, and there is nothing to hide, and once they find out by Finnis, it will be a big problem. In the end, he couldn't stand Abra's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so Old Ske could only use a few hard-won animal skins in exchange for two long swords and secretly brought them out.

The long swords in the hands of Abra and Mandasen were the envy of the other members of the guard. Now that they heard that Snow had a way to use low-grade iron ore equivalent to scrap to refine weapons, Abra was naturally 10,000 willing.

However, many residents pushing simple wooden carts and carrying flat poles are reluctant. However, weapons can greatly strengthen the town's combat effectiveness, and in order to better resist the attack of wild beasts, they can only agree to it. Fortunately, the abandoned iron ore is on the edge of the mountains and forests, and there are few wild beasts during the day, and with the protection of the guards, it is not too dangerous.

The group simply cleaned up, then opened the gate of the town and headed for the mountains and forests.

Before setting out, Snow had the clay craftsmen prepare the earth and stones for the shaft furnace in the cattle ranch south of the town. First, there are too many magazines of these iron ores, and if you want to extract enough iron, you need too much iron ore, which requires space. And the abandoned livestock farm can just come in handy

Second, refining iron ore still requires Yalian's help, but Yalian's identity cannot be disclosed in the town yet. The livestock farm is outside the town and is fenced off to avoid people's eyes and ears as much as possible.

Where low-quality iron ore is placed, it is the only way to the mine. The crowd took their tools and hurried along. Half an hour later, he came to the edge of the mountain forest, and after about ten minutes of walking into the forest, a large clearing appeared in front of Snow.

This vacant land was cleared by the old sk before, and it was specially used to pile up substandard iron ore. After a few years of accumulation, the iron ore here has been piled up into a small hill. Snow looked at the red ore hills in front of him, his eyes shining. I stepped forward and picked up a piece and looked closely, it was indeed hematite.

There are many kinds of iron ore used in shaft furnace ironmaking, among which hematite is soft, easy to break, and easy to reduce, which is very suitable for ironmaking. The iron content of general hematite is good, up to 70%. But the ores in front of Snow obviously can't reach such a high level, and there are a lot of magazines in the ores. However, fortunately, the number made up for this shortcoming, and Snow was still relatively satisfied.

At this time, the big guy's heart was still a little scared, maybe the four big beasts staring at the town would rest around here. So without Snow's urging, the residents were in full swing to ship, and Abra and other guards stood guard around them. In less than two hours, all the carts and flats were filled with iron ore.

"It's good, everyone has worked hard, let's go back." Snow clapped his hands and led the group back to town.

As soon as he approached the town, Snow smelled the smell of grilled fish. This pure wild fish is very delicious, and although he has eaten it for several days, Snow still does not feel tired.

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time, eat." Snow rubbed his hands together and laughed.

After lunch, Snow specifically instructed Randolph to suspend fishing in the afternoon and let the big guy take a break. Then he came to the gate of the town with parchment, and at this time it was Fu'o who was on duty with a few people, and when he saw Snow hurrying forward, Shi Li asked, "Lord Mayor, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to the river, and don't look for a few more fishing spots." Snow took the parchment and gently patted Fu'o's head, he still liked this young man with strong eyes and hard work.

"Are you going out alone? It's too dangerous, I'll take someone with you. As he spoke, he beckoned to someone.

"No, no, no." Snow hurriedly stopped and said, "It's the time when the sun is at its highest, and the beasts won't come near the town." Finding the net water needs to be quiet enough, I'm the best alone, you don't have to worry. "Snow went out this time mainly to discuss the matter of ironmaking with Yalian, and by the way, he tried to let the two of them infiltrate the town as refugees, so he said that he couldn't let Fu'ao and them follow.

"But ......"

"It's nothing, just take care of the gates of the town, and if the four beasts come back, I'll go around to the south of the town." Snow raised his hand to interrupt Fu'o's words and said in a firm tone.

"Okay then." Unable to disobey the mayor's wishes, he raised his hand and took off the warning whistle around his neck, handed it to Snow and said, "If there is any danger, blow the whistle, and I will bring someone over immediately." ”

"I'm right on the river near town, and I'll be fine." Snow took the warning post, patted Vo on the shoulder, and turned to walk out of town.

Out of the town, Snow came to the Lianxi River, turned his head to see that no one was coming, and walked along the riverside to the north. He and Yalian had agreed that if there was anything to meet, they would come to the endless mountains and forests along the river during the day. Elena will control the panther and wait at the edge of the mountain forest, escorting him to meet him.

Along the riverbank to the edge of the forest, Snow saw at a glance that under a large tree, a black panther was lying. At the same time, Snow's footsteps also attracted the attention of the black panther, who raised his head and looked at Snow unhappily.

Seeing the humanized expression on the panther's face, Snow was already surprised, and said with a sneer: "Hello Elena, I want to ask you for something to discuss." “

The panther stood up lazily and turned to walk towards the forest behind him. Snow shrugged his shoulders and hurried to follow.

Wandering around in the mountains and forests, just as Snow was about to get confused, Elena's treehouse appeared in front of him. Yalian and the two had been waiting for Snow under the tree for a long time, and they hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Snow missed Yalian very much. Looking at the beauty not far away, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise upward.

"Snow, you're here." Arlene trotted forward to meet her, and the beautiful sound almost melted Snow's heart.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, think I haven't?" Snow said in a joking tone: "Come, let me hug and see if I have lost weight hungry in the past two days." “
