Walking into the Copper Mountain Castle, you will find that this fortress structure is quite spectacular. Even the people of the "Splash Squad" have to admit that this is a great miracle of primitive engineering.

In the era of cold weapons, this fortress was almost impenetrable, and the greatest danger to it was the desperate river that flowed day and night. On the riverside of the castle, there are traces of repeated repairs, and huge stones have been brought in from afar to ensure that the river does not affect the stability of the castle.

From the only horse road to Copper Hill Castle, there are well-arranged watchtowers and beacon towers on both sides. There are also some military camps walking in the forest, and from time to time you can hear the sound of loud and neat drills.

Maybe it was a strict military order, although the people of the "Wave Squad" attracted the attention of the demons, but no one stepped forward to obstruct or talk. It wasn't until they saw the towering gate of the castle that a demon officer approached and stopped their cart with a grim expression.

The old demon coachman stepped forward, talked to the officer for a few words, and got a sheepskin slip. With this slip in hand, they walked into the castle that was comparable to a city.

The wide avenue facilitates the rapid assembly of troops, and when you walk on this avenue, you can see the rows of shops on both sides. These shops are all front-shop and back-factory structures, which can be self-sufficient in wartime.

The avenue also traverses numerous ring-shaped inner walls, which are embedded in the urn city and the labyrinthine marching corridors. If the enemy breaches the outer walls, they will also find themselves with a perfectly constructed meat grinder in front of them.

In addition to this, the people of the "Wave Squad" also discovered grain-producing areas and mines. Presumably, the location of Tongshan Castle was carefully chosen, and it is a perfect country with a well-circulating social and ecological system. So there is no need to hold the idea that the siege can be dragged down.

However, the most striking thing is the houses with spires, which are all kinds of martial arts halls, and in the hearts of the demon people who worship martial arts, it is the holy place second only to the demon god temple. Only a grandmaster is qualified to open a martial arts hall, and only a martial arts hall that has produced a grandmaster can build a building with a spire.

"I suddenly thought of a lot of stories about struggle." Miss Pori said with emotion.

"Absolutely. And a lot. The hairpin nodded.

Around these martial arts halls, I don't know how many demon heroes have staged a lot of wonderful performances. Those stories are either singable or weeping, or lingering, and they have been, is, and will happen.

"If it's Kaba, will he join these martial arts halls?" Now his mind is full of Ka Ye, and he looks around, hoping to find the traces left by Ka Ye.

At that moment, a Dire Silver Knight rushed out of the inner city, and when it reached them, it slid steadily and stopped.

"Visitors from afar, Prince Mochizuki asked me to tell you. This is not for you. Please leave. ”

The Dire Silver Knight uses the divine language spoken by the demons. So it's very precise. After he said this, he didn't wait for Chu Ming and them to answer. With a beautiful turn, the dire lizard raised its head and stepped down again, and left at a gallop.

"That's what I call 'disgust.'" Chu Ming smiled bitterly. Prince Mochizuki's disgust is also too explicit. If it had been another trialist, it would have been a long time ago.

"I'm not going to be angry. I'm not stupid! Steel Carbon shook off the hairpin's hand, he looked at the heavily guarded fortress, and said very seriously:

"It's a dead end for even the strongest squad to come here, so I'm not impulsive. Our identities are only useful on the surface, but it's not too difficult to make a few of us disappear as a matter of course. ”

"Sailor, what should I do?" Miss Pori is becoming more and more dependent, she is too lazy to use her brain, she believes that her logistics master has already planned it. And Chu Ming did not disappoint him.

"Notice no, it's a city." Chu Ming pointed to the avenue in front of him and said, "So." Before we can join the military, we can look for other jobs, such as-"

"Budokkan!" Steel Carbon never forgot it, he believed that he could find the traces of Kaba in the martial arts hall, and he could also find his own direction.

"I'm interested in the plants here. I've just seen several gardens. I don't know if they would like to take in an alien gardener. Miss Pori said.

"I've wanted to be a bard for a long time!" The hairpin was full of excitement.

"Okay, let's find a place to settle down and meet there every night." Chu Ming said, and then noticed that the other people's eyes were a little strange, he suddenly realized, scratched his head and said, "I actually didn't think about it, maybe I will be a blacksmith first." ”

With a goal comes motivation, and the people of the "Wave Squad" go deep into this castle and try to integrate into this civilization. Joining the military may be a short-term goal for them, but their ultimate goal is to find their own path.

Every night, they would get together to exchange the day's harvest with each other, and gradually, a looming vein emerged.

"I found one thing in common, those powerful 'losers' didn't all join the Budokkan, but they all joined the army. For example, Kaba, his purpose is clearly the army, and he has never been in a martial arts hall at all. ”

Steelcarbon was a little disappointed, but not frustrated. The life of the Budokan gave him considerable inspiration, the civilization of the extragalactic system is different from the generally developed civilization, even if they are very primitive, but they are definitely distinctive.

"I also have news that Master Shushu has indeed hid in the mountains, but before that, her whereabouts have been blank for a long time. I'm reminded of a rumor that Master Shushu is said to be very good at transfiguration. Combine that with her experience of being trafficked – as far as I know, the biggest source of slaves was prisoners of war. ”

Miss Polry said as she played with the fruit of a plant that she didn't know what to do. This fruit, along with the news of the special master, was given to her by the same demon clan, a gardener of the "Demon Fighter", and money is not rare. This flattered the owner of the garden.

"Bitter Blue Winter, the same is true of Master Bitter Blue." The hairpin also paid off, and thanks to his excellent linguistic talent, he did quite successfully as a bard.

"I inquired about the reason why Master Kulan didn't continue to eat, it seems that he violated some kind of taboo of the demon clan. That's why the Demon Elder will cancel his qualification as a 'Demon Fighter'. I don't know what taboos he violated, but I do know that he was captured in the army. ”

Military –

All the clues point to the army, which proves the correctness of Chu Ming's speculation. But how is this army different from the army they once stayed in?

"Sailor, what do you think? How's your blacksmith doing? ”

Chu Ming's status is becoming more and more important now, and the people of the "Wave Squad" have become accustomed to asking for his opinion at the end of the day.

"There's nothing to say about the blacksmith." Chu Ming shook his head. After pondering for a while, I answered the first question:

"The reason we're here is because Kasaba is here too, and he must have come here to join the army with some kind of purpose. But apart from him, the other people joined different armies, and this is what made me hesitate. Therefore, we can only come step by step, first, join the army of the crown prince and gain faith step by step. Second, join the crown prince's army. Look for the reasons why those strong people joined the army. ”

"At the end of the day. Or to join the army. Miss Pori frowned: "I don't know if the concept of the crown prince of the Demon Clan has changed." We don't have much time to allow for such consumption. ”

At this end of the conversation, they need an opportunity, which has not yet come.

Go back to your room. Ironhide lit a candle with pine oil for him, which had a faint pine scent, but the smoke was slightly larger.

Spreading out a blank piece of reed paper, picking up a finch pen, dipping it in ink, Chu Ming sketched a strange pattern on the reed paper. Then he filled in the pattern until the whole reed paper was unsightly, and then he stopped.

Throwing the reed paper into the trash, Chu Ming looked at the candle flame. He was stunned for a moment, then he sighed.

"Panting, and then heavy as Tarzan." Ironhide said. He is actually comforting, although he uses the wrong idiom, but it is also an improvement.

"It should be a long sigh, and then a composure." Chu Ming corrected the fallacy of the iron sheet. Then he fell into deep contemplation again.

He is by no means as calm as the members of the "Wave Squad" see. His suffering is not for outsiders, for he has been pitted.

When he entered this world, he, like the trialists here, accepted two contracts. The first is "Dream of Muji", a contract that erases memories. This contract is decent, and it is not famous.

The second contract, the Fallen Deal, is a contract that weakens one of the trialists' proudest abilities. It's a balancing act so that the trialists don't over-destroy the civilization in the Land of Trials.

For example, steel carbon, what he is weakened is the amount of force. This is also the reason why he was injured a few days ago, he lost a lot of strength and is still used to being brave, of course he will suffer a big loss.

The double configuration of the temple's team is actually out of this consideration. It is to use two people as one person, so that you can get through the early period of weakness to the greatest extent.

Chu Ming was also weakened by the ability he was best at, but this weakening was obviously done by someone. It should be said that it is not a human, it is the necromancer in that box. The necromancer didn't break the rules, but it made Chu Ming suffer enough.

Chu Ming is a martial artist who controls the flow, so what he is weakened is control. Control is a word that has a broad meaning, and it also gives the necromancer a chance to do what it sounds like.

The first is his strength and agility, which are necessary for field control, and all of them are halved. These include speed, reaction, and metabolic function, all of which are reduced by 50%;

Then there is the ability of the scaly compound eye, fragment fitting and skin pupil technique, etc., which are all sharp tools for controlling the field, which are directly forbidden, and only the basic visual power level is retained.

Spiritual power attributes, needless to say, controlling the field requires a high level of computing and must be contained. In view of Chu Ming's strange internal circulation of spiritual power, the contract simply wrapped the spiritual power core with an unknown pattern. Therefore, Chu Ming's proverbs and graffiti thinking and other reasoning methods cannot be used.

When these weakening were all completed, Chu Ming had a feeling that he was riddled with diseases. Completely weak, he was unable to participate in the battle at all, and could not even give advice to the "Wave Squad".

Fortunately, the contract of "Fallen Deal" does not involve intelligence, otherwise Chu Ming is very sure that he will become an idiot. That necromancer would definitely do that.

Fortunately, no one asked him to fight, so Chu Ming honestly started the logistics work and gradually adapted to his body.
