Section 12 Fate

After leaving He Xin's house, Tie Slag came to the office of Ciris Investment Co., Ltd. and took away the Tie Ling who came with him. He was going to take her to find the old blind and get some insect powers.

Half an hour later, they walked through the shopping street, walked through a low-rise residential area, and came to the old street west of the wind sand castle. It's late afternoon, and the sky is red with no clouds. The old narrow streets are as lively as ever, with all sorts of stalls and vendors crowded on both sides, standing beside the tricycles and shouting.

Iron Slag bought two servings of soy milk fritters and gave one to Tie Ling. The latter looked at the orange fritters, hesitated for a few seconds, and then took a bite. Although she didn't know what it was, she believed that the person would eat whatever he gave.

"Cluck-la-la-......"

The crispy fritters exude a rich aroma, and Tie Ling eats it in a few bites.

"Is it delicious?" Iron Slag asked with a smile.

"It's delicious." "Do you want more?" "Yes." After a simple exchange, Tie Slag bought two more fritters to let Tie Ling eat enough at one time.

Not long after, the two turned into an alley, walked a little forward, came to the old blind divination house, lifted the black shade cloth, and walked in. The light in the shop was still dim, and I could barely see the figure sitting behind the low table.

"Who?" Sensing that someone was coming in, the old blind eye moved, raised his head and asked. The hollow eye sockets are dark and dark, with a bit of mystery.

"Friends." Iron Slag replied.

"Friends?" The old blind man frowned, showed a stunned expression, and said, "What friend? I don't have any friends, so let's go. ”

Iron Slag turned his head to look at Tie Ling, who immediately held the handle of the knife in his hand, and pulled it out with a "bang".

"Friend, if you have something to say, don't dance with knives and guns at every turn." The old blind man wrinkled his face, his eyes, nose and mouth squeezed together, and he made an ugly smile.

Then, Iron Bell put away his machete and sat down at the low table side by side with Iron Slag.

"Elder, I came here this time to ask you for a favor." After sitting down, Iron Slag said seriously.

"Say, the boy of the Norseth family, the owner of the war song harmonica, as long as the old corpse transporter can do it, he will do his best." The old blind man said happily.

"I'm trying to find a legendary ability for her." Iron Slag glanced at Iron Bell and said.

"What...... What the? The old blind man asked with a dull expression, as if he didn't hear the words of the iron slag clearly.

"I'd like to find her a legendary ability as a female worm." Iron Slag repeated calmly.

"You...... You ......" The old blind blushed and held back for a long time, and finally lost his voice and shouted, "You think the legendary ability is a cabbage!" "He was so emotional that he squirted out his saliva. Iron Slag hurriedly raised his hand and used his sleeve to block the spitting star that was covering his face.

"What's wrong?" When the old blind man calmed down, Iron Slag asked.

"On average, out of 10,000 insects, only one has a legendary ability, and the probability is 1 in 10,000." "And female insectizers only account for twenty percent of the total number of insectizers, which is one-fifth, so ......," he concluded, "there will be only one female insect with legendary abilities among 50,000 insecters, and there are not many insects in the world." ”

"And then?" Iron Slag asked.

"What then, just don't mean anything!" The old blind couldn't help but shout.

"If you don't, why are you so excited?" Iron Slag frowned and asked.

"Uh......" Realizing his gaffe, the old blind immediately smiled and said, "When you get older, you will inevitably be a little confused." ”

Iron Slag rolled his eyes slightly, and asked again, "Is there any other way besides you?" "Without the legendary ability to insectize, Iron Bell's gene chain stability is not enough to absorb more insectization ability.

"In this world, anyone who has the legendary ability of the insect is a predator, and if you want to get it, you can only rely on ......" The old blind man paused for a moment and said solemnly, "The inheritance of iron and blood!" ”

In an instant, Iron Slag seemed to see the figure in front of the holy fire again, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He didn't seem to notice the change in him, and the old blind man said to himself.

"From here all the way west, at the other end of the old street, there is an old witch."

"She's the same as me, running the underground business of Wind Sand Castle."

"You go to her and see if there is any fate between them...... After speaking, the old blind eye fell silent, and seemed to have fallen into a long thought, and sat there quietly, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Iron Slag had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and left the divination hut with Iron Bell.

A moment later, the two of them were walking on the bustling street, and Tie Ling, who was half a body behind, suddenly caught up with him and asked, "What did that person mean by the inheritance just now?" ”

"I ...... too I don't understand......" Iron Slag said with difficulty as he squirmed his lips. He tried his best to control his emotions and not let the tears flow. Maybe one day, let her experience it herself.

As soon as he thought of Kozan, his mood became a little low. As if he could feel his sadness, Tie Ling didn't bother him anymore, just silently followed him and walked towards the west side of the old street.

"Fried noodles, millet porridge, egg pancakes...... "Cake omelet, cheese bread......" "Japanese-style sushi, salmon seaweed rolls......" "Sister, do you want accessories?" This bow is perfect for you. "Do you want a communicator?" RC company, eighty percent new, only six gold hammers. "This big brother, if you want Black Star, ninety percent of it will be new, as long as five gold hammers, and two boxes of bullets will be given to you."

Pedestrians on the streets come and go, and the stalls and vendors shout hard, all busy with their lives. Iron Slag gradually recovered from his negative emotions and looked ahead.

This ancient street is in an arc, and he has heard Hagrid say that hundreds of years ago, the old street had a nice name, called "Ring Road", which was the road between the city walls and the city. Today's wind sand castle is based on the old street to expand out.

The front section of the old street, which is close to the Fengshabao commercial street, is the territory of the old blind "corpse carrier". And the middle section of Lao Cai, the largest area, is the territory of the "corpse hider" old lame. As for the end of the old street, near the west gate of the wind sand castle, the more sparsely populated area is the territory of the "corpse sewer" old witch.

After walking for more than an hour, the iron slag and the iron bell came to the end of the old street. Compared with the front and middle sections, it is much more deserted, with only one vendor every ten meters, and there are many fewer pedestrians. After some inquiry, the two found the old witch's servant house in a secluded alley.

Compared to the old blind there, this place can be regarded as luxurious. Colorful curtains were pulled outside, some flowers and plants were planted on the walls, and the surroundings were cleaned up.

Iron Slag took off his hood, lifted the white curtain, and walked in with the iron bell. A few candles were lit in the room, the fire was dim, and an old woman was sitting cross-legged behind a low table in front of her, staring intently at him.

"Welcome, young man." The old woman said with a kind smile. Her face was thin and wrinkled, but her body was a little fat.

"Hello." Iron Slag nodded.

"Bring your girlfriend to tell your fortune?" The old woman raised her eyes, glanced at the iron bell behind him, and then stared into his eyes and asked.

"I'm not here to tell fortunes, I'm blind." Iron Slag replied.

"Oh......" the old woman looked up in realization, and then stretched out her withered hand and motioned to the table, "since the old fox called you, please sit down." ”

"Thank you." Iron Slag bowed his head, and then sat down opposite her with an iron bell.

After sitting down, the old woman just looked at him quietly, without saying or making any movements. Iron Slag was furious by her, and her eyes never took off him from the moment she entered the door.

"It's like ......," murmured the old woman after a while, as if she were talking to herself.

"Elder, do you know me?" Iron Slag wondered.

"I've heard of you, young Nolseth." The old woman smiled mildly and said, "You look like your brother. ”

"Hagrid?" Iron Slag asked subconsciously.

The old woman shook her head, but said nothing. Iron Slag soon understood that she was referring to the dead raven......

Then the old woman boiled a pot of boiling water, then took out a few small wooden bowls and placed them on the low table, and took out some dark green plants that resembled tea leaves from the jars, put them into the wooden bowls, and then grinded them with short wooden sticks. After a while, when the water boiled, she poured it into the bowl, and a faint smell of medicine suddenly spread and wafted through the hut.

"Try the licorice tea I grow." As she spoke, the old woman pushed the two wooden bowls over.

Iron slag picked it up and took a slow sip. This licorice tea is slightly bitter in the mouth, but there is a sweet aftertaste after drinking. Although it is not as good as Bihai green tea, it is also very distinctive.

"Child, if you need anything, please tell me." It was only then that the old woman asked about the purpose of the iron slag.

"I ......" For a while, the iron slag didn't know how to speak.

"Child, whatever your needs are, the old corpse sewer will do his best." Seeing that he was hesitant, the old woman spoke again.

"Thank you, but......" Iron Slag was silent for a long time before he said, "We have never met before, why are you ......" They had only just met, and the old woman was so kind to him that he had to be suspicious.

As if seeing through his thoughts, the old woman smiled slightly and said, "Young Norses, although we have never known each other, your ancestors have spent three hundred years proving the loyalty and bravery of this surname, winning the recognition of the world and winning the title of 'Vast Sword'. She looked up, and her deep gaze seemed to pass through the walls, and the low houses fell on the stone monuments of the cemetery.

"And your brother, with his kindness and selflessness, has won our respect." Finally, the old woman looked at the iron slag and said earnestly.

"Thank you." Iron Slag stood up and bowed deeply to the old woman. Seeing this, Tie Ling also silently got up and saluted.

"Her name is Tie Ling, and she is a good boy......" Tie Slag looked at Tie Ling, then faced the old woman, and said solemnly: "She has always been strong and hardworking, so please guide her forward......" After speaking, Tie Slag bowed again.

"Uh-huh......" The old woman stood up with a shudder, walked slowly to the iron bell, stared at her face for a long time, and then circled her body to observe it carefully.

"Tut-tut......"

The more she looked at it, the more pleased she became, and she nodded her head incessantly, and reached out to pinch Tie Ling's arm, and couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration. I saw her touching and pinching, and finally pinched Tie Ling's ass several times. Tie Ling stood upright, his eyes straight and his expression indifferent, as if he had not been affected in the slightest.

"The foundation is good, the heart is good, and the person is beautiful, I will accept this apprentice." After looking at it for a while, the old woman nodded with satisfaction and said.

Tie Ling turned his head to look at the iron slag, and his eyes were full of inquiry. Iron Slag replied with a determined gaze and nodded vigorously.

"Tieling, I've seen the master." After receiving a response from the iron slag, the iron bell took a step back and knelt down on the old woman's knees.

"Okay...... old woman looked kind, and stepped forward to help the iron bell.

In this way, Iron Bell temporarily left the team and stayed with the old witch.
