Chapter Sixty-Seven: A Reunion Under 'Fate'
If you want to replenish your satiety, you naturally need 'food'.
And it's not easy.
The things on the 'mystery side' were out of reach of ordinary people, so after a moment of silence, Jason drove to the city alone - he was going to ask the old instructor for help.
He didn't know a lot of people on the 'mystery side' in Cherry City.
But the only people who can really be trusted are the old instructor and Delbon.
Why not choose Delbon?
emmm……
Obviously, isn't it?
……
'Muscles are power'!
This is the stronghold of Cherry City's 'Unyielding Copper', disguised as a gym on the outside, and a military camp for warriors and knights to train and rest on the inside.
"Jason!"
The old instructor standing downstairs looked at Jason who pushed the door and got out of the car, and couldn't help but show a smile, and stepped forward to be a bear hug.
For Jason, although he was not pulled into the camp of 'Unyielding Copper', the old instructor still had a good impression.
Smack, smack, smack!
Slapping each other's backs hard, feeling each other's strong latissimus dorsi, Jason and the old instructor parted and walked side by side towards the inside.
At first, Jason wasn't used to such etiquette.
However, as time passed, he found that such etiquette was still very good.
You can feel the changes in your muscles directly by how strong they are.
It's really straightforward and easy to use.
"There are five floors above ground and three floors underground."
"The first and second floors are open to the public."
"The third and fourth floors are barracks and restaurants."
"The fifth floor is the conference room."
"The first and second basement floors are the training grounds."
"The third basement floor is my bedroom."
The old instructor gave a detailed introduction to Jason, who was coming to the camp for the first time.
Then, instead of going upstairs, he went straight to the basement level.
There is no elevator!
Either up or down, there is no elevator.
Rather, it was a relatively wide staircase, the size of Jason and the old instructor, which could walk side by side, and could squeeze in a man who was as emaciated as Del.
Is there no labor-saving facility to better integrate exercise into your daily routine?
Jason subconsciously guessed.
But, right away, Jason noticed something different inside the staircase.
Although it has been cleaned, there is still a faint smell of blood, and some places that should have been flat are even missing corners, or simply cracks and cracks, and they are extremely broken.
It's a fight!
Jason was pretty sure that the stairs he was walking had only gone through the battle.
Moreover, according to the traces of staircase damage, it is not just possible to do it once or twice, but it is possible to do it over many years.
"It's not just about integrating exercise into your daily routine, but also about actual combat?"
Jason thought, looking at the old instructor.
"Just like Jason you guessed."
"But, Jason, guess when the actual battle starts?"
The old instructor asked mysteriously.
"At mealtime!"
Jason replied without hesitation, and the old instructor looked at Jason in surprise.
"Did you hear that little guy in Delbon mention it before?"
The old instructor asked subconsciously.
Aside from Delbon's inform, the old instructor couldn't figure out how Jason knew.
You know, this kind of tradition that belongs to the 'unyielding copper', under the premise of not knowing, basically no one can guess, most people, can guess that it is a set of training at a fixed time.
But no one could have guessed that it was time to eat.
"I perceive 'hunger'!"
"It's all over here, it's very rich!"
Jason explained in a serious way.
"Sensing hunger?"
"Is it the same as perceiving fear?"
The old instructor was stunned.
He had never heard of such a statement, but he knew similar techniques.
When people are afraid, the sweat and smell are different.
When you're hungry, it's different.
It's just that most people don't pay attention to such skills.
"I see!"
The old instructor nodded, wondering if he could create this technique.
Then, side by side, the two pushed open the door at the end of the stairs.
The door is a double door made of alloy.
Sturdy and heavy.
It is 5cm thick.
The moment the door opened, the noise, the sound of the count, and the slash of swords rushed into Jason's ears.
A huge open field appeared in front of him, and dozens of people were training in this open field.
Many acquaintances are exercising and learning here.
When Jason saw these warriors and knights, these warriors and knights also saw Jason, these people's eyes lit up, and excitement appeared on their faces, you know, Jason's name of 'ship slayer', they have all heard of it.
The worship of the strong makes these warriors and knights feel enthusiastic, especially in a way, they are still partners who fight side by side, which makes people feel even more excited.
However, no one rushed forward.
They're still training!
Without the orders of the old instructors, the respective training could not be interrupted!
Therefore, under everyone's eager gaze, Jason and the old instructor walked towards the second basement floor.
Compared to the basement level, it is much quieter.
Almost nobody's.
Walking to the third basement floor, Jason saw the old instructor's mouth saying 'bedroom'.
Outside of a bedding bed in the corner, there was nothing to hook up to the 'bedroom', only a load-loaded, broken sword and a stove.
"What is this?"
Jason looked at the stove.
"The armor and weapons of the little ones are damaged, and someone will come to repair them, and I was originally a blacksmith, so naturally I have to work part-time."
The old instructor explained with a smile.
"Where's Vince?"
Jason asked another familiar person in Copper Unyielding.
"He acts as an instructor for the recruits and is training them in the field, while Ciri serves as a deputy to help Vince."
The old instructor pulled over an iron chair and handed it to Jason.
Vince who has just gotten rid of his 'rookie status' and brings new recruits?
Will Vince be the next leader of Cherry City's 'Unyielding Copper'?
Jason guessed, took the chair, and sat down in front of the old instructor.
"Vince will be one of the next Copper Indomitable leaders - his talent is unquestionable, as long as he grows, it will be a matter of time before he surpasses me, but being a Bronze Unyielding warrior requires all kinds of preparation, and to be on the safe side, we will have at least three candidates."
The old instructor handed Jason a barrel of about 5 liters.
It's not wine, it's a fruit juice drink with a faint coconut aroma.
"This is my coconut water to replenish my strength and water."
"There's herbs and honey in it, it's pretty good."
As he spoke, the old instructor twisted open the barrel, tilted his neck, and drank the barrel dry.
Jason also followed the example of the old instructor and tilted his neck.
Tastes good.
A hint of sweetness.
Especially leaning against the fire and drinking such a drink, there will be a feeling of coolness inexplicably.
"What if all three candidates survived when the time came?"
Jason asked questions of interest.
"Then prove that they are good enough, and the 'Unyielding' camps in other places will compete for it!"
"In 'Unyielding Copper', there is never a shortage of leaders."
"What is lacking is people!"
"Even if we try to teach every young person as much as possible, accidents happen."
Under the light of the stove, the old instructor's face flickered brightly and darkly, and the expression full of helplessness and unwillingness made people look sideways, but immediately, the old instructor shook his head.
"Jason, what are you looking for me?"
The old instructor changed the subject.
"Food...... Strange things! ”
"I need more 'curiosities'!"
Jason's expression calmly changed his slip of the tongue.
"Strange things?"
The old instructor didn't ask Jason what he wanted to do, he just pondered for a moment, then pointed around with a wry smile, and continued: "Strange things are rare, there is not a single strange thing in the entire 'Copper Unyielding' barracks. ”
"And the other guys should have some there, but ......"
Speaking of this, the old instructor's expression became strange.
He glanced at Jason before slowly speaking again.
"At the previous rally, you have swept away their excess 'assets'."
"It's not just Cherry Town, it's a few surrounding cities."
"So, strange things are getting rarer."
"Even if there is, it's the kind that will never be exchanged."
The old instructor smiled bitterly again as he spoke, revealing a helpless look.
Jason wasn't surprised.
He knew very well what his previous 'rally' meant.
Of course, Jason didn't give up.
"Do you know where 'strange things' might exist?"
Jason asked.
That's what Jason is here for.
What he hopes is to obtain certain reliable information through the experience and knowledge of the old instructors, rather than directly obtaining items.
The old instructor didn't give Jason food, and after a little thought, he gave an answer.
"Memory Street!"
"If there are any 'strange things' in Cherry City and several nearby cities, Memory Street is the first choice!"
"Some old fellows see it as their final destination!"
"They don't pay attention to everything in the outside world, they just sit there, and if you can get their favor or help them solve some regrets, it's not difficult to get some 'strange things' from them."
Hearing the old instructor's words, Jason couldn't help but nod.
Then, Jason stood up and prepared to leave.
"Skipping dinner and going?"
"The old guys don't sleep so early."
Looking at Jason, who was about to leave, the old instructor issued a kind invitation.
Faced with such a well-intentioned request, Jason thought about it seriously for a while.
Eventually, nodded.
It doesn't matter if dinner is not dinner, he just wants to experience the tradition of 'copper indomitable'.
Since it can be handed down, it must have something extraordinary.
If you don't experience it, you're really unwilling.
……
The sun has set on the horizon, and the street lights have lit up, shining brightly on Cherry City.
However, there is one place where it is different.
Memory Street!
Compared to the brightness of the outside world, the slightly dim light of the gas lamps makes the place seem much dimmer.
But no one will hate it.
The old layout of the Memory Street attracts quite a lot of people.
In particular, the interweaving of gas lamps and shop light makes many young couples take selfies excitedly.
And among these little couples, two are a little special.
They didn't walk up and down the streets like the other jubilant little couples.
Instead, he crouched in the shadows on the side of the road, revealing only a vague outline in the dim gaslight.
They wore the costumes of the Memory Street, the men were handsome, and the women were even more beautiful, but in the enviable faces, there was a trace of sorrow and anxiety at the moment.
"Bolun, are we going to give up?"
"Kyle's guys have found an organization that can teach 'occult knowledge' for a little money, should we get in touch with it?"
Emily crouched on the side of the road and said with some discouragement.
This extremely excellent young man in the eyes of ordinary people should not have been so discouraged, but it was too shocking.
For days, she and her friends tried every way they could think of to reach out to everyone on the street who looked like a 'mystery side'.
But!
Every success!
Those who seem to be on the 'mystery side' not only deal with them well, but also play tricks on them with ease.
This made Emily, who was confident at the beginning, completely suffered.
The young man was also hit hard.
However, he did not give up.
"Do you think it's true that Kyle came into contact with the so-called 'Mystery Side' organization?"
The young man asked rhetorically.
"Should it be true?"
Emily wasn't sure.
According to what she has experienced in the past few days, she knows that although the 'mysterious side' is semi-public, it is too difficult to really have contact.
"Well, it's true."
"So ......"
"Is it well-intentioned?"
Bolun asked again.
Emily shuddered and looked up at her friend beside her.
"Don't think too much about the 'mysterious side'."
"It's mysterious, powerful, and weird."
"The reason why I chose the 'Street of Memories' is that there are so many people on the 'mystery side' here, because it is safe - there should be some kind of rules here that restrict them, and that is the most important thing for us."
Bolun said lightly.
"But are we going to spend it like this?"
Emily asked, a little frustrated.
Of course, she knew that what Bolun was saying was the truth.
If it were to be changed to another place, what they encountered before would not be a joke, but a high probability of turning into a corpse.
"It's because we're thinking everything too simple."
"The people who can enter the 'mysterious side' are already extremely good people, they have a broader vision than we imagined, and mysterious abilities."
"If we want to really get into it, we have to think of other ways."
Bolun continued.
Emily on the side had her eyes lit up.
As a familiar friend, she knew very well that when Bolun said this, he must have thought of a way.
"What's the solution?"
Emily asked.
"Two ways."
"One of them was not at the right time."
"There's only one left—"
"Sincerely!"
Wave Wheel said.
"Sincerity?"
Emily frowned in confusion.
She thinks what she's done before is sincere enough.
"Well, sincerity, not the kind of perfunctory sincerity we did before, but sincerity in the real sense."
Bolun said as he pulled out his phone.
"Exchange all my shares in the Polun family for cash, well, I'll give up the inheritance......"
"Bolun, are you crazy?!"
Emily listened to her friend's words, and the whole person stood up suddenly, glaring at the wave wheel in disbelief.
"No, I'm not crazy."
"I'm just showing my sincerity!"
"I'm going to impress one of them with everything I have!"
"Just impress one of them."
The young man shook his head slowly and said slowly.
"But what if it fails?"
"If you fail, you'll have nothing!"
Emily looked at her friend eagerly.
"Only by breaking the cauldron can we fight against the water!"
"To show sincerity!"
"That's how determined I am."
Bolun said this, and then, in a voice that only two people could hear, he said in a low voice, "If that fails, I'll exchange all that money for explosives and send it to the 'Street of Memories' to the sky." ”
Emily listened to these words and looked at her friend in a daze.
It was as if she had met this friend for the first time.
For as long as she can remember, her best friend has always been calm and cautious.
Can......
The madness in front of him seems to be the true face of the other party.
"Wave wheel, you ......"
Emily was speechless.
"You want to call me crazy?"
"Well, maybe."
Bo Lun slowly stood up, he looked at the dark night sky, and said word by word: "Since there has been such a world of great controversy, either become an ant and let others control your fate, or gamble everything and change your fate!" ”
"It's all there!"
"Nature includes life and wealth!"
"In the notes of my ancestors, there is another sentence that I remember deeply - if you don't go crazy, you won't survive!"
"Yes, yes......"
Emily wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Just stared at the wave wheel blankly.
And then!
Suddenly, she noticed that Bolun's eyes lit up.
Subconsciously, Emily turned her head.
Following Bolun's gaze, she saw the excuse that a tall, muscular figure had appeared in the 'Street of Memories'.
That's, that's the 'Ship Slayer'!
After that day, they had investigated the man who had kept them awake at night with just one look.
And the results of the investigation naturally made them feel shocked and apprehensive at the same time.
'Shipcutter'!
A peerless powerhouse on par with the 'Dragon Slayer'!
It's one of a kind.
Even on the 'mystery side', it's a small cluster standing at the top.
Thinking of this, Emily subconsciously dodged.
She hadn't forgotten that the two of them had had an unpleasant experience with each other.
Although the other party didn't trouble them last time, who can guarantee it this time?
The idea of the strong is not so easy to ponder.
But to Emily's surprise, her friend Wave Wheel strode towards the 'ship cutter'.
"Waves, waves?!"
Emily stammered.
Bolun didn't stop, and he didn't look back and said-
"Since I want to fight, I want to fight the biggest one!"
"In this way, even if you are dead......"
"I'm willing!"
