The Ice Forge is not only a forger's paradise, but also a paradise for the exiles.

The Ice Furnace is the freest place in the world, and the least free.

All those who are not tolerated by the world can find their own shelter here. When he arrived here, no one was pursuing what happened to him.

But, here, too, they have to be reinvented. Because although this place gave him a new birth and allowed him to be cut off from the past, it also left a deep imprint on him.

Even so, the Ice Forge isn't all about the most vicious. Not all of them are murderous criminals. It's like everywhere else.

A furnace of ice and ice, a circular continent in the middle of the deep sea.

Although the shape is round. But the environment here is not cohesive. Instead, it was as if someone had torn it apart from the middle. Half of it is a white ice and snow world, and the other half is a really red furnace world. That's where its name comes from.

The white part is covered with snow all year round, and there is no other season. The trees here are all conifers, and the broad-leaved vegetation simply cannot survive here.

In the red part, the surface is covered with large and small volcanoes. Although it is volcanic, it is stable and has no intention of erupting. The big ones seem to be a red lake, and the small ones seem to be a stove pit, no, not like, because many people do use them as stove pits. Using a volcano as a stove pit seems to be an unthinkable thing for ordinary people. But here, it's a very common thing. Some people would build their houses here, and the location of the pit is exactly where the small volcano is located.

However, this is not the main purpose of these small volcanoes. Their biggest use is in forging furnaces.

"You know why the Ice Forge is so awesome!"

An uncle in his forties was bragging to the young man next to him about something that the young man didn't know.

The young man was new here. From the contact in the past few days, Lao Xu gradually learned that this kid had just come to the Ice and Snow Furnace, and he didn't know much about many situations here. After working alone for so long, he finally came to a tender bird, and he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to 'educate people', and began to tell this newcomer everything he knew. It's not that I have any thoughts about wanting to be a teacher, but the work in this place is really boring. No matter how obsessed you are with blacksmithing, it is difficult to adapt to this isolated life.

The Ice and Snow Furnace is such a transcendent existence. It's not because he is located in the middle of the sea, so he has any geographical advantage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But because he has another important position - the world's largest arms supplier.

As for how the ancestors found this place a long time ago, and how they built it, and how they finalized the transcendent status of this place. These questions have been deeply buried in history.

All that remains is that here is the world's largest arms provider. And this transcendent status has made many guys who can't be tolerated by other forces end up here. And most of these people who are notorious outside have outstanding features, and their addition has gradually raised the defense value here to a terrifying level.

But these are incognito. Because no one has ever thought of attacking this place, no one knows what kind of power is hidden here. All they know is that this has always been the home of the world's best weapons.

Where there are people, there will be war, where there will be war, there will be a need for weapons, and if weapons are needed, they will remember - the furnace of ice and snow.

This makes the people who work here very proud. Although, what they do can be directly equated with the war machine, they are happy to accept the title.

And this old and young are located in the important area of the ice and snow furnace at this time. It is designated as a forbidden area for the Ice Furnace. Because this is the workshop for the production of the most cutting-edge weapons. The area is divided into small farms, each with one or a few people.

At first, when the young man was assigned, although the middle-aged man was very happy, he still had a lot of confusion in his heart. It's great to have someone to talk to, but this person is too young to look at his appearance, and he is in his early twenties, so he can be assigned to the most core position, what can he do?

However, he soon found out. Although this kid is very wooden, he usually doesn't say anything except to ask himself some questions when necessary. But at the level of forging, he really couldn't find any faults.

Every day, there are quantitative tasks here. Usually I have to work hard to get it done, but since this kid came, I don't seem to have anything else to do but talk endlessly. Because this kid alone is enough to complete these tasks with ease. This made him sigh in his heart, he looked old.

Although young people rarely respond to themselves. But that didn't diminish his appetite for talking. He was like a chatterbox, talking endlessly every day from the beginning of the meeting. And it's never repeated. He is like a thick history book, constantly pouring out everything he knows is important and unimportant.

"I said Gao Meng, can you give me a reaction. No matter how shy you are, you've been here for days. We're acquaintances now. Let's have a good chat. After all, we still have a long time to play together. ”

For this young man, it was only when he first came that the person who sent him told him that his name was Gao Meng. Other than that, he didn't know anything about this young man. Except, of course, for the surname of the other.

"You're not the same, you've been here for so long, but you've never said anything about yourself."

The young man stopped what he was doing, and today's task was done. Although he only knows how to do things with his head bored, he is not stupid. Since there is a quota every day, it is best not to try to overdo the task after doing it, which is not a good thing for yourself. So he sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of water, and began to drink it with a slurp.

"Come on, come on, add some tea, my tea, besides me, you are the first to drink it."

The middle-aged man opened his tea can very carefully, carefully took out a handful of them and put them into the young man's teacup, and finally looked at it, as if he was very distressed, and took out a few leaves and threw them into the teacup.

"My business, what is there to say. Chen sesame rotten grain. ”

Although Lao Xu has always been a particularly nagging person, as soon as he was asked this question, Lao Xu was unprecedentedly silent. The face that had always been smiling before has become serious now.

Although Gao Meng knew that the fourth level seemed to have asked some questions that should not be asked, he didn't think it was an abrupt move, and he still drank the tea leaves lightly, and spit out the tea leaves that he had inhaled into his mouth from time to time. The two men fell into a momentary silence, and there was no sound in the room except for the rustling of tea.

"Forget it, since you're interested, I'll tell you about it. Anyway, so many years have passed, and there's nothing bad to say! ”

Lao Xu seemed to have made a lot of determination and put down the teacup in his hand.

After hearing this, Gao Meng seemed to show his respect for the other party, and also put down his teacup, straightened his sitting posture, and looked at Lao Xu sideways.

"Actually, I sneaked out. In order to defend the enchantment, every few years, the Alliance will capture some people to fill the numbers. That year, I was unfortunate enough to be selected. I'm just a blacksmith. If I am asked to strike iron, I will naturally be fine. However, it is said that the people who guard the barrier basically have only one ending. That is death.

Before, under the official publicity, I thought it was a very sacred task. Once, I felt deeply remorseful for my greed for life and fear of death. But gradually, I learned. That's not the case at all! This is just a foolish method of the upper class!

Guarding the barrier is not what we ordinary people should do at all! In the beginning, this task was sent directly to the military. However, the masters of these armies changed this order privately, and used the method of catching some poor people from remote areas to serve as their substitutes.

After knowing this, I fled here without hesitation. It's a place where there aren't too many constraints. As long as you follow a few simple rules here, you won't be in trouble. And if we can come here to work, no one will provoke us. Although I still miss my hometown sometimes, I miss my blind dates, and I miss those who ran away with me but didn't survive. However, these have become more and more faund over time. And my hatred for the alliance has gradually been worn away. I'm just a small person, I don't want revenge, I just want to be able to live my life in peace. Drinking tea is my biggest hobby now. I can tell you, this is the best tea we have here! But I bought it at a very high price. Don't say I'm stingy, I never give this tea to others, you are the first! ”

After finishing speaking, Lao Xu raised his eyebrows at Gao Meng, which means 'I'm done, it's your turn'.

"Then I have to thank you. My experience with you, in words, is similar. That's how they all escaped. But I'm a little different from you. I don't feel like I can't do anything because I'm a little person. Along the way, I know a little bit about what you said. But I still don't think we can't do anything. I've come here to solve something, and when I'm done, I'll go back and finish what I haven't done. Under great pressure, people can choose to resist or escape, which is everyone's freedom. However, due to people's good fortune and evil surname, most people will choose to escape, and will choose to live their lives in peace under pressure. There is nothing wrong with that. However, I think that if you can't do what you want to do in your life, what does it make if you don't live? Some people say that I am a young man's arrogance, but if I am not insolent, I am still called a young man? Maybe I won't be able to change anything in the end, but that doesn't shake my determination to do it. No one knows how long they will live until they die, so let's just assume that I am always young. I don't expect to be a hero who changes history, I just hope that what I do will make the wheel of history spin faster. Thank you for the tea, I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Gao Meng drank all the tea in the cup, and this time, instead of spitting out the tea leaves, he chewed and ate them, and then left the room with some weapons on the cart.

"And when you're young?"

Lao Xu looked at the hot air that kept coming out of the teacup in his hand, and muttered this sentence repeating to himself. He is not an indecisive person, and naturally he is not a person who can be shaken by a sentence or two from others. He thought about how to choose his life for a long, long time, and in the end, he chose to compromise with the world.

But today, the idea he has insisted on for more than ten years has a huge crack in this young man's words. The crack began to spread rapidly as he repeated, the crack grew bigger and bigger, and the crack became more and more cracked.

He wasn't worried that this person was sent by the Alliance. It's impossible. He is just a small fugitive, and he has long been forgotten by the world. I can still see that I can live until now.

"Is it really because I'm old?"

Lao Xu shook his head bitterly, picked up the teacup, and drank it silently.

How Gao Meng survived with the people in the village, and how he came to the ice and snow furnace, few people except himself know.

Gao Meng: Although he doesn't have a complete plan yet. But he still has a few things to do. And at the top of the queue is to find Lei Bo first. It's not that Lei Hao is more important than everyone else, but he needs more power to join now, and the power that can be replenished by himself is very limited. And the ice and snow furnace is nothing more than the most abundant place.

He took his most astute men to the Ice Furnace, where they were scattered in different places, doing different jobs, but running around for the same thing.

"Brother Meng, I'm back."

"Well, little monkey, how are you asking today?"

Gao Meng's place of residence at this time was in the hottest part of the Crucible Peninsula. Of course, it's not because he likes to live here, but because the rent here is the cheapest. Because the environment here is relatively harsh.

At this time, the little monkey has changed a lot from before. At this time, he was no longer the skinny child he was at the beginning, he was already a strong young man. But the nickname still followed him.

In the past year or so, Gao Meng has given everything he knows to everyone without reservation. But he asked himself that he was not a good teacher, because the speed of progress of these people was very different from his own. He attributed this to the fact that his teaching was not as good as his teacher's, which is why it was so.

It's just that he doesn't want to admit that it's just a matter of talent.

It's hard to say about talent. The level of effort of these people is not much different from that of Gao Meng back then. They all have hatred in their hearts, and they are even more desperate when they train. But progress still can't keep up with Gao Meng. There are some things that are really difficult to make up for the day after tomorrow.

"I've almost inquired about this side of the Crucible Peninsula, and the people on the Ice and Snow Peninsula have also sent a message, and I haven't heard about Lei Hu. If she's really still in the Ice Furnace, it seems that you will have to find out. There's no way we can get into that place yet. ”

When the little monkey said this, he didn't even dare to raise his head. He was not afraid of Gao Meng, but felt that he didn't inquire because of his own incompetence. At the beginning, I had to follow Gao Meng, but now I haven't even completed the task of inquiring about people, and I really feel shameless.

"Sit down, don't stand. When you say that, it should be true. Lei Yu is the teacher's daughter, and her level in forging is naturally very high. In this place of the Ice and Snow Furnace, if you want to live well, you rely on your own strength, if Lei Hao wants to live well, this should be her only choice. Leave this to me. You will start tomorrow to do the second thing. Don't try to convince them once, just instill the idea in them. How to choose after that depends on their own meaning. ”

After listening to Gao Meng's words, the little monkey felt a little better in his heart, so he sat down.

Human wisdom is immeasurable.

This ice furnace is divided into two sides. Cold on one side, hot on the other. The hot place is especially where Gao Meng lives now. It was as if there was a steamer in the room. Most of the utensils in the house are made of metal. However, these metal utensils did not become hot due to the high temperature in the room, but maintained a temperature similar to that of the human body.

This is made of alloy materials. It is a ratio that has been studied by predecessors after many experiments. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to live here. The temperature in the house is stable at over 40 degrees Celsius all year round, and at first, they are really uncomfortable. It's much better now.

"Brother Meng, try this, this is the snow rabbit they got today, it is said that this snow rabbit meat is much stronger than the rabbit meat in our mountains. Living in the cold all year round, their meat is firmer and their soup is more delicious. This cooking method is unique here, you taste it, along the way, you can't eat it just by smelling the fragrance, my gluttony has long been hooked. ”

As he spoke, the little monkey brought out a soup pot, and as soon as he opened it, a strong smell of meat came to his face. As soon as he smelled this fragrance, Gao Meng's hunger also surged up instantly. As if they were hungry tigers, the two of them began to launch a general attack on the rabbit meat in the pot......
