Section 15: Supervision
In the noisy environment, in the warm light of the fire, the hoarse sound of the old wooden-shell radio was emanating. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is Grey Earth Radio, lw882, I'm Charlie the Greyhound, the time after dinner is always so leisurely, if you are in the wilderness, look up at the starry sky, can you feel the beauty of a moment......"
"At such a time, I want to bring you a beautiful ballad, which will be played soon, "Are You Okay?" by the Gray Earth Goddess Xuemi? 》。 ”
"It's snowing in the sky, are you okay?"
"Perhaps, you are walking in the gray land at this moment, walking through the ancient ruins, enduring pain and hunger."
"Danger is always with you, and looking at your departing back that day, my heart seemed to be pierced."
"I know, you're for me, for our lives."
"I light a candle in front of the window every night, waiting for your return."
"You'll be back, my love, my heart, my everything."
"Our child is about to come into this world, and I tell him your story every day, about your bravery, about your perseverance."
The clear voice, with a faint sadness, passed through the noisy voice, far away......
"What a broken song, change the channel." A discordant voice suddenly sounded, and the person who spoke was none other than the Black Pig King. But when he said "change the channel", he did not mean to switch channels, but to express his protest, because there is only one radio station in the southern cemetery, whether people like to listen to it or not.
"What is the glorious legend you mentioned earlier?" Iron Slag took a sip of the inferior ale and asked seemingly casually.
"That's an old story, the legend ...... a long, long time ago" King Black Pig looked at him and said slowly, "There was a group of people who fought, a group of people who won, a group of people who lost, so the loser swore that he would definitely come back in the future and fight again......"
At this time, the bar owner who was eavesdropping on the side looked at him with disdain and said, "Black pig, don't tell stories if you can't tell them." ”
"You have the ability to tell it." The Black Pig King said with half-squinted eyes.
"Well, I'll tell you......," said the barkeeper, putting down the cup he was wiping, "and there is an ancient prophecy in this land that when the flame of the north is lit again, we will find happiness and peace and leave this haunted place." ”
After listening to the story of the bar owner, Iron Slag was silent for a long time and asked, "Do you believe in this legend?" ”
"Hahaha......" Looking at the serious appearance of the iron slag, the black pig king suddenly laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, I saw him stand up, raise his wine glass, face the strong men in the hall, glance around, and ask in a loud voice, "Do you believe in the glorious legend?" ”
There was silence for a moment, then the hall burst into laughter.
"Hahaha......" "We have passed the age of innocence." "A myth that only a fool can believe." "I've heard it since I was sensible, and now my ears are almost calloused, and I haven't seen any so-called holy fire." "It's just a story about kids." "It is said that an old beggar made up a ...... for begging"
"I believe it!" A clear voice suddenly came out of the commotion, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a female student holding a tray, standing there with a look of longing.
"The little wildcat is in heat." "Hahaha......" "Come on, come on, twist your ass twice." "It's such a crisp sound, it must be nice to scream at night."
"I believe it." The female dress student said again, her big eyes flashing with indescribable determination.
"Child, which negative person have you been deceived? Say it, and Uncle will help you beat him. "Which bastard is it? It's okay to steal your heart and eat meat, and lie to deceive the little girl, it's really not a thing. "Kill him!" The crowd shouted in indignation.
"Until now...... I can still remember what my mother said before she died......" The girl paused, looked at the crowd, and after a long while, she said slowly, "She took my hand and said, baby, no matter what fate you come to, you must not give up hope, you must believe that in that far north, there is a fire that will illuminate our path in darkness and lead us to happiness......"
After the maiden finished speaking, the bar fell into a long silence.
I don't know how long later, someone suddenly shouted: "Little wild cat, your story has touched me, and I will produce three golden hammers tonight." ”
"Five, I'll give five." "You poor perverts, get out of the way, Lao Tzu will come out of six!" "Ten old scoundrels, I'll produce ten old scoundrels."
For a moment, the solemn atmosphere was shattered by vulgar shouts. Even the iron slag, who has always been calm, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Brother, I think you are a character, you can't just bury it like this, or ...... like this" The Black Pig King thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow I will take you to meet the Star Shepherd, he is the leader here, maybe there will be a chance for cooperation between you, what do you think?" ”
"Okay." Iron Slag thought about it for a moment and nodded in response. According to Ethan's prompt, the Star Shepherd is a supporter of the Temple of Splendour, and if he can, he needs to make contact with the other party.
After drinking, the Black Pig King warmly invited Iron Slag to go to the inn next to the bar, and also chose a good-looking bar girl for him. Since the women here are all insects, although their skin is slightly rough, they have a wild nature all over their bodies, and they have a different general style. However, the iron slag has already made a vow to be ruthless and loveless, and has long looked down on the affairs of this man and woman.
After leaving the bar, Iron Slag returned to the camp and, with a bit of drunkenness, quickly fell asleep. After a few years of stable life, he got used to taking a bath every day, but when he got here, taking a bath became a luxury. At the moment, he was sweating and greasy all over his body, which made him a little uncomfortable. He tried to think about how he came over when he didn't take a bath in Tieshan Town for half a year.
Nothing to say all night......
The next morning, the Black Pig King arrived at the camp early in the morning, rubbed Daddy Wade for breakfast, and then took the iron slag to his special car, a dilapidated Great Wall pickup truck, and after a twenty-minute drive, arrived at the Longhorn stronghold in the middle of the canyon.
As far as the eye can see, this stronghold is built on the cliffs on both sides of the cliff relatively close to the position, in front of which is a high wall that is half stone and half iron, and on the cliffs on both sides, there are many elevators and sentry posts, which is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.
Under the leadership of the Black Pig King, Iron Slag soon entered the council hall of the stronghold. This is a stone cave excavated in the mountain, about 1,000 square meters, with a large brazier in the middle, and more than a dozen people standing scattered around.
The Star Herder was younger than Iron Slag had imagined, looking to be in his early thirties, dressed in a gold-rimmed white robe, with grace and serenity in his gestures. The Black Pig King was about to step forward to greet him, but found that the Star Herder was chatting with a young man in a silver-gray protective suit, so he immediately retreated.
"What's wrong?" Iron Slag asked in a low voice.
"Overseer......" The Black Pig King whispered as he glanced at the person who was talking to the Star Shepherd, "These are all very troublesome people, we will come back later." ”
But at this moment, the star herder turned his head to look over, and when he saw the black pig queen, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Dear black king, good morning." ”
"Good morning, Star Shepherd." After being discovered, the Black Pig King had no choice but to step forward and greet him.
"Come here, I'll introduce you......" The Star Herder beckoned to the Black Pig King, then looked at the young man beside him and introduced, "This is Lord Wu Zhuo, from the Central Continent, and is a great Overseer. ”
"Hello, Lord Wu Zhuo." The Black Pig King stepped forward and bowed.
"I heard your nickname is Black Pig?" Wu Zhuo smiled and asked.
"Yes, sir." The Black Pig King replied respectfully that if the Overseer was displeased and said that the place was morally corrupt, it would attract the temple cleansing team and burn more than 300,000 people here.
"This nickname really suits you, look at how dark and chubby you look, you really look like a pig." Wu Zhuo said half-jokingly.
"Yes...... Yes. The Black Pig King said with his head down.
Looking at the former, whose humility was in words, the iron slag standing a few meters away only felt an unspeakable sourness in his heart. This black man with superior strength is groveling in front of this little man at the moment, which really makes him unbearable, and he just wants to turn around and leave. As far as he knew, the status of these Overseers was lower than that of the Templars, but now they were able to be arrogant to such an extent, who had given them such rights?
"Is that your friend? What kind of pig is it? Lean pigs? Wu Zhuo pointed to the iron slag and joked. However, this joke is only funny to him, and the person concerned will only feel insulted. And at this moment, the iron slag lowered his head, covered his hood and did not dare to show his true face, because these overseers were the minions of the temple, so in the face of Wu Zhuo's questioning, he chose to be silent, hoping to reduce the attention of the other party with a low-key attitude.
"He's just my sidekick, and the other day he went to look for a box, and the skin on his face was rotten." The Black Pig King reacted quickly.
"What's rotten? Can it grow back? Wu Zhuo asked curiously.
"This ...... It's hard to say......" replied the Black Pig King.
"Hey, come and show me, I've only seen pictures of radiation damage in books, and I haven't seen the real thing." Wu Zhuo pointed to the iron slag and said. But in the face of his questioning, the latter stood motionless, neither speaking nor coming. Seeing this, Wu Zhuo slowly frowned, this despicable bedbug dared to disrespect him, the overseer, it was simply looking for death.
"He's mute, he can't speak, and his face is full of pus......" The Black Pig King hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Am I asking you?" Wu Zhuo glanced at the former and asked impatiently.
The iron slag hidden in the hood suddenly narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists. But he didn't dare to make a move, even if it only took one finger to kill this person. He knew that if the Overseer died here, the Star Shepherd would not be able to cope with the wrath of the Temple, and he could walk away, but not the 300,000 people who lived here. In the tense atmosphere, the star herder, who had been silent, spoke.
"My lord, in order to welcome your arrival, I have specially prepared a hearty breakfast, please move to the lounge and enjoy it."
"I don't want to eat ...... right now" Halfway through his words, Wu Zhuo's eyes suddenly straightened. Following his gaze, I saw a young and beautiful girl walking over with a silver glistening breakfast plate. It didn't take long for the Overseer to recover from his slumber, glanced left and right, coughed a little crampedly, and reluctantly followed the girl's footsteps to the break room.
Looking at the back of Wu Zhuo's departure, the Black Pig King bared his teeth and showed a fierce light, if he wasn't afraid of the other party's identity, he would have beaten him into meat sauce with one punch.
