On the evening of the third day, the steam train "Garden No. 1" circled the city of Elk and returned to Quicksand Town. Before the train entered www.biquge.info the station, Eva got off the train early and returned to the Golden Battleship, escorted by several Templar guards, while Iron Slag sat alone to the finish line.

After passing through the gate of Seth and entering the commercial street of Fengsha Castle, the breath of war suddenly came to my face. As far as the eye could see, there were many unusually tall Erta men and women on the street. They were dragging their families and driving trucks full of goods or piled up with pots and pans, tent covers, and other household items, hurrying out of the city.

These are the Shepets who do business with humans. After receiving the news, in order to avoid being affected by the war, they quickly evacuated the territory of the humans. Although among the Eltas, only the Purple Pupil Demon Clan is at war with humans, but once the war starts, no one can say whether there will be any mobs taking the opportunity to make trouble and loot them. And the high-level of Wind Sand Castle will also suspect that there are spies of the Purple Pupil Demon Clan hidden among them, and they will monitor and question them. So the best way to do this is to leave as soon as possible.

After returning to the Chifeng Fortress, Iron Slag immediately summoned Gangze and asked him to leave as soon as possible and return to the tribe.

Gangzawa is a warrior of the Elta people who was entrusted by the Hammer of Forge Fire to come to the human world to study. After the iron slag left, he stayed in the Vermilion Bird Regiment and followed Bai Xiaoyun. After more than two years of study, Gangzawa gradually mastered the human language. Although there are still some stumbles, there is no problem with daily communication and reading.

"Friend, it's a great pity that there is a war between our two races, and in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, you must leave as soon as possible." Iron Slag said to Gangzawa.

"Thank you for your care for the past two years, friend of the Elta." Gangzawa bowed and said. Iron Slag's body suddenly darkened, and the mountain-like figure blocked out a lot of light.

"Say hello to the Hammer of Forge on my behalf." Iron slag said in return.

"The Elta will never forget friendship." Gangzawa thumped his chest hard and left.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Xiaoyun prepared a Great Wall pickup truck and a large number of survival materials for Gangze, as well as some books. Before the two could say goodbye, his tears fell.

"Big man, take care on the road." Bai Xiaoyun sobbed in a low voice. After more than two years of getting along, they have formed a deep friendship.

"Take care, too." Gangzawa's eyes were slightly red, he opened his big hand and hugged the short man in front of him hard, like an adult hugging a child.

Suddenly, the atmosphere between the original best friends, depending on the farewell, was broken by a not very harmonious voice, "Hey, that...... I know you're passionate, but I don't think you're the right fit. The tone was frivolous and uninhibited, and people wanted to rush up and beat the owner of the voice.

It was Hillman Hiros who spoke, and I saw him walk leisurely past Becky Modleton with his arms around him. Gangzawa and Bai Xiaoyun glanced at each other, and at the same time lowered their middle fingers at Hillman.

On the night after Tsukasawa leaves, Iron Slag and Hagrid are drinking at Satsuki's bar.

Hagrid, as usual, drank rum at a low price. Iron slag can't help but be a little strange, this wine is not only very strong, but also very difficult to drink, much worse than Richie vs. Richie. Last month, they had just seized Tokuda Daichi's private sake store, and although there was no top-quality sake there, there was no need to drink this cheap liquor anymore, so he asked, "Why don't you have something else?" ”

"No, I'm used to drinking this." Hagrid said with a big grin.

"Now that the mining areas are open, there is no need to save this money." Iron Slag said. At present, they already have nine mines, including the five mines that have been seized from the Hirano Fortress, and there are two more that are ready to be mined, so it can be said that they are making money every day. The money for alcohol is nothing. In addition, Iron Slag had just returned from Eva, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and drinking top-notch wine, but when he came back, he saw his brother drinking a few copper plates and a glass of cheap wine, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"It's not about the money, I'm just ......," Hagrid muttered, looking down at the pineapple-sized ale glass, "getting used to the taste." ”

"I didn't expect ......," Iron Slag grinned, "and horse urine can also be drunk?" ”

"You kid......" Hagrid slapped the slag on the shoulder, then picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, "...... exhaled" he exhaled a mouthful of cloudy wine and said slowly, "When we were in the Wind Sand Castle before, your eldest brother and I could only afford to drink this kind of wine......" He looked up and looked at the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, "Smell this smell, it's like he's still around, drink with me, ......get drunk together"

Listening to Hagrid's words, Iron Slag only felt his eyes swell slightly.

It is not difficult to imagine that the two of them are the oldest, and they have seen the collapse of their families and the death of their loved ones. In such a desperate situation, they relied on each other, with the pride of Norses, and moved forward strongly. This friendship has gone far beyond ordinary blood relations.

It is a comrade-in-arms, a confidant, and a close relative.

"Boss, have a rum!" Iron Slag shouted at Satsuki not far away.

After a while, two large shot glasses collided together, and the wine spilled.

"Drink!" "Come!" The two brothers raised their heads and drank each other, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Cool!" Hagrid wiped his mouth, then suddenly sighed again, "If the sixth and eighth are here...... No...... The third, sixth, seventh, eighth, and our grandfather are all here, so how good it would be......"

"There will be this day." Iron Slag gripped Hagrid's shoulder hard and said with a determined gaze.

"Satsuki, have another drink." "!"

That night, the two commanders of the Chifeng Fortress were very drunk. This time they were really drunk, not like the last time they were in the Blackwater Lake stronghold, they were all pretending to show each other. They drank several kilograms of rum happily, and no matter how much Satsuki tried to persuade them, it was useless.

In the end, given that both of them had girlfriends, and their girlfriends' status was not low, Xiao Yue didn't dare to let the Liuying take over, so she notified the Black Pig King and Zhao Wenke to come over and drag them back.

"I wipe it, and you don't call me when you drink!" The Black Pig King was dissatisfied.

"Second brother is too heavy, I can't carry it a little, change the ......" Zhao Wenke, who was in charge of Hagrid, requested, Hagrid's arms were thicker than his thighs, and he was only in the early stage of the seventh order, and his strength was not much greater than that of ordinary people without wearing power armor.

"Alright, I'll do it." The Black Pig King carried one on his shoulders and sent the two brothers back to their respective offices and threw them on the sofa, then asked Satsuki to come over and take care of Hagrid, and Lilith to take care of the iron slag.

In the middle of the night, Iron Slag woke up in a daze to find Lilith sitting on the couch opposite, engrossed in reading a fashion magazine.

"Come here......" Iron Slag beckoned at her, and in the dim light, he saw Lilith as Qin Ke'er.

"Huh?" Lilith removed the magazine and stared at him warily.

"Come here." Iron Slag commanded again, a cold glow in his dark eyes.

"What?" Lilith instinctively flinched back.

"Come here!" The voice of the iron slag became rough, and the wolf-like gaze seemed to devour the girl in front of him alive.

"Don't, don't come here......" Lilith threw away the magazine and quickly ran towards the door. But her movements are as fast as iron slag, as soon as she grabbed the doorknob, the sound of the wind passed in her ears, and then "bang". A knuckle was tied to the wooden door in front of him.

"Knock knock!" Then there were two more soft thuds, and two knuckles sprang out of either side of her waist, stabbing against the door and the wall, forming a triangular zone of control with the first knuckle over her shoulder.

"I ...... I don't sleep......" Lilith cried out in despair.

"That's right......" Iron Slag tilted his head, looking slightly thoughtful.

"Yes~I don't sleep~" Lilith repeated with a shake of her little hand.

"Why?" Iron Slag asked, seemingly puzzled.

"Because ......," Lilith replied cautiously, "I won't." ”

"You don't need to." Iron Slag said.

"Woo......" Lilith was so anxious that she was about to shed tears, but the iron slag looked at her with interest, and her eyes were full of incomprehensible meaning. A limb crept around the back of her shoulder and lifted her chin. The cold touch made her tremble, and her buttocks/flesh tightened. Under the tremendous pressure, she lowered her eyes as if resigned to her fate.

But seconds passed, and the expected storm did not come.

"Make me a cup of ginseng tea." A faint voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the pressure disappeared.

Iron Slag returned to the couch, his expression still cold and quiet, but his heart was happy. In fact, he had already come to his senses and recognized that Lilith was not Qin Ke'er. It's just that her trembling, as if she was facing a great enemy, is really cute, and it fully arouses his teasing heart.

It didn't take long for Lilith to make ginseng tea, and it blew gently for a while before putting it on the coffee table in front of the iron slag.

Iron slag took a few sips, put down the cup, and lay down. Half-drunk and half-awake, he suddenly remembered what Eva had said to him that day, when they were separated.

"If we can't see each other in the future, please remember that my heart will always be with you until the end of the world...... she said quietly, caressing his chest.

Thinking of their relationship, it was inevitable that there was some melancholy in his heart, and the iron slag crawled up and said to Lilith, "Open the bottle of Beowulf, drink some with me." The full name of this sake is "Beowulf VS", commonly known as hero wine, and it is a series of Pope wine "San Augustine Roa", and there are two grades of angel wine "Mycera VSOP" and goddess wine "Valkyrie XO".

When she heard that she was going to drink, Lilith was terrified. Looking at this situation, it is clear that she wants to get drunk and then do whatever she wants.

"To ...... Do you want to call my sister? Lilith asked tentatively.

"Yes." Iron Slag didn't have as many thoughts as her, just just wanted to find someone to drink and relieve her mood.

A few minutes later, the iron bell came. For some reason, as soon as she came in, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a lot, and even the strength of the wine with iron slag went by seven or eight points. Then, with a "bang", Lilith opened the bottle of Beowulf VS and poured three glasses.

"For the sake of ...... In order to ......" Iron Slag held the wine glass, thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any reason, and finally said, "Forget it, anything can be done......

"cheers~" "Hmm. The three of them touched the glass and drank it all.

After drinking a Beowulf, Lilith opened another Miccera. When the third bottle was drunk, the iron slag began to sway again.

Unintentionally, his gaze swept over Tie Ling's face, and he couldn't help but stop. The soft light reflected her angular face, her clear facial features were like a knife and axe, and her cold eyes were deep and dark, shimmering. The whole face looks unusually cold, and it is a little ......

Male and female.

Looking closely, the coldness of the iron bell is very different from that of Muyu lily of the valley. When the latter is quiet, it is like mountains and lakes, solemn and calm, and cold and atmospheric; When angry, it is like a silent active volcano, which will erupt at any time with earth-shattering magma fire, which makes people palpitate. When the former is quiet, it is lifeless, making people unable to feel her existence, and when she is angry, it is like a sharp sword hidden in a sheath, ready to attack and seal her throat. As soon as the latter made a move, it was magnificent, like a mountain falling, a boulder attacking, and pressing people with momentum, while the former concentrated on a single point, breaking the face with a point, and the sharpness was unparalleled.

I think back to seven years ago, that well-behaved girl, on a gently rocking boat, by the faintly lit sea, hugged his arm, begged him to choose a name, and gave him a lighter. But now, it has become cold and cruel, like a cold bayonet, full of murderous intentions. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, whether such a change was good or bad.

However, no one can answer his question, because in this world, the only person who can make a judgment is Tie Ling himself. What he didn't know was that this girl grew up looking up at his back.

Wanting to be like him is her dream, her everything......

Sensing the gaze of the iron slag, the iron bell looked over, and the two immediately met each other.

"What's wrong with you?" Lilith, who had just returned from taking the wine, soon noticed the strangeness of the two, so she asked heartlessly.

Tie Ling ignored his sister, but "knocked", stood up, looked directly into the eyes of Tie Slag, and asked seriously, "Do you want me to sleep with you?" ”

"Uh......" The person concerned seemed to be shocked by her words, grabbed his hair violently, and repeatedly denied it, "No, no...... That's not what I meant......"

"Oh." Iron Bell nodded slightly sluggishly, and sat back down. Lilith looked stunned, and for a moment, she could barely hold the bottle.

After a brief embarrassment, Lilith was about to start the drink, but was stopped by iron slag.

"If you don't drink it, you don't drink it, let's go back and rest." I don't know if I was scared, or if I really drank enough, the iron slag only felt that if I drank it again, something would happen......
