The world returns from stillness to dynamics.

The colors softened, and the sound poured into the ear drums again.

Zheng Yi stepped on the soft sand, looked around, and made sure that he was in the position he had left before—that is, the position he had left earlier, outside the walled city.

Just now, because he was in a hurry to go back to deal with the demon's affairs, Zheng Yi didn't even take a good breath of the dry air in the desert. Now that things are over, Zheng Yi can finally enjoy this heat and dryness. He also realized his true heart:

I'd rather trek in the desert than fall into the sea!

Chocobo worked sick again, and sailed all the way to Lao Wei's Furnace City. He knew that the walled city was a chaotic abyss, and if he threw himself into it now, there would only be endless trouble. And Lao Wei's side is much safer, and there is even a sense of ease going home.

Chocobo eventually brought Zheng Yi to Crucible City before dawn.

As a wasteland city, it also has walls and iron gates, which are also patrolled and guarded. Judging by the weapons on their bodies, Crucible City is indeed a safe city, otherwise I am afraid that some people will have bad intentions.

Zheng Yi put away the chocobo five hundred meters away from the city, and by the way, put the Mithril chain mail and spider silk cloak in the side box. The Demon Sword, which originally occupied the space of the side box, was left in the display case above the gray mist by him, and it was useless for the time being anyway.

Dressed in a tattered knight's uniform and helmet, Zheng Yi walked to the sentry box behind the gate of Crucible:

"Hello, I want to see Lao Wei."

In the sentry box was a young man with two red balls on his face, he held a jet-black submachine gun in his hand, looked Zheng Yi up and down, and asked:

"Who are you?"

Zheng Yi didn't take off his helmet, thought for a while, and said:

"You tell Lao Wei that I am the messenger who came to repair the shield a few days ago, and he must remember me."

The young man cautiously grabbed the clock on the table:

"Either you give me a name and a reason, or wait until dawn to open the door - there are still two hours."

Zheng Yi said: "The reason is: the shield is broken. He'll understand. And I have to make it clear that he doesn't want people to know I'm coming. Do you know kids? Some people really can't let others know which Messenger they have come into contact with. ”

The young man was frightened. He grabbed the communicator on the table and called to his superior:

"Boss, there is a messenger outside the door, saying that 'the shield is broken' and wants to see Uncle Wei."

A grumpy voice came from the communicator:

"What messenger, what time is it! Let him come back at dawn! ”

"There will be a lot of people seeing me at dawn, and Lao Wei will definitely be very annoyed." Zheng Yi said on the side.

There was silence in the communicator for two seconds, and he said, "Who the hell are you?" I don't want to wake up Uncle right now and get beaten up. ”

"If you let more people know that I'm coming, Lao Wei may kill you directly." Zheng Yi said and glared at the young man guarding the door.

The young man shuddered.

The other end hung up the communicator.

A minute later, a pickup truck drove out of it, and the headlights hit Zheng Yi through the iron fence.

Zheng Yi spread his legs and stood steadily.

"Open the door." The big guy in the pickup said.

Zheng Yi heard that it was the voice from the communicator just now.

The iron door opened, and Zheng Yi naturally walked towards the pickup truck, opened the door and got into the car. The man in the driver's seat had a fierce face and a shotgun on his body, and said, "If you play with me...... Hum. ”

Zheng Yi didn't speak.

The pickup made a U-turn in front of the iron gate, which closed again.

Zheng Yi soon stood in Lao Wei's workshop, which was empty. In a place where energy is mainly based on solar energy, there are almost no workshops that work at night. No one will stay up late to rush to work, because it is a seller's market, and there are enough capital stores in the Crucible City to bully customers.

Lao Wei quickly got up and entered the workshop, closed the iron door casually, and motioned for Zheng Yi to go downstairs with him. The two went down to the second basement floor, and Lao Wei spoke:

"You know how big a mess you caused! The walled city was almost bombed. ”

Zheng Yi found a place to sit down, glad that he had learned the clues. He took a roasted boar from his belt and slammed it on the anvil.

Lao Wei was taken aback: "This is ...... Roast pig?! Where did you get that! ”

Zheng Yi said: "You said that the special grade water is very troublesome. ”

The corners of Lao Wei's mouth twitched, and his Adam's apple rolled: "You lack a lot of equipment?" ”

Zheng Yi was noncommittal and said, "I need a car." ”

Lao Wei was a little heartbroken, and thought for a long time between the car and the roast pig, and said:

"You're just going somewhere? I can get someone to drop you off, free of charge. ”

Zheng Yi thought about it and felt that as long as he was near the destination, he could grind it with chocobos. According to Du Bin's hands for him, the chocobo was already clean and could enter and exit the various shelter passages.

"Yes." Zheng Yi nodded: "Of course, I also want equipment." And gold. ”

Lao Wei said: "If you don't mind the source of gold, I can help you contact a cheaper one." ”

Zheng Yi said: "I only care about the color, and in addition, I want a cubic meter of gold." ”

Lao Wei nodded, and suddenly said in a trembling voice:

"Have you discovered the kingdom of God? Don't lie to me. Look at the extra grade water you took out, and this roast pig. You must have everything there, and it's not worth anything, but with us, it's more valuable than anything else. You guys...... You've finally found ......."

Zheng Yi listened to him quietly, and said in his heart: It turns out that these people were looking for the kingdom of God before. It seems that they have not found it, so they have to guess what the kingdom of God has.

"There's no point in telling you that." Zheng Yi said.

Lao Wei was trapped in emotions and couldn't extricate himself, and said:

"You've also found a lot of artifacts, pre-cataclysmic technology? You ask for a cubic of goods, because each compartment of your rucksack is a cubic meter, right? ”

Zheng Yi had previously known from Beard that the enchanters of Sequence 3 were able to make spatial storage equipment, but now from Lao Wei, he was even more certain: the spatial storage equipment was already very mature before the cataclysm.

"What else do you have?" Lao Wei's eyes were full of hope: "Have you found the method of creating those artifacts?" ”

Zheng Yi thought about it and took out the "lady's tears" from the knight's suit.

Lao Wei stretched out his hand, separated by twenty centimeters, felt the majestic spiritual power above, his face was full of incredulity, and asked, "What is its negative effect?" ”

"Nope." Zheng Yi said.

"Impossible! With such a powerful artifact, how could it not have a negative effect! Old Wei shouted loudly.

Zheng Yi thought of the "remnants" of the two gods of the world of Iru Iluvida, and the negative effect was indeed very powerful. But this blue diamond is different from those, but there is no need to tell Lao Wei.

"You don't have to know that much," he said. You just need to know that you are helping justice, goodness, and order. What's more, we paid you enough. ”

Lao Wei said in a low voice: "You are now wide, and you don't even bother to use dreams and ideas to fool others into doing day jobs." ”

Zheng Yi was speechless for a while. It seems that the good camp really has this problem, and it often has to be slapped in the face by a proud and arrogant character to wake up.
