The mountains here are different from those in other places where Brandi has walked.

Whether it is the territory of the Kunmo Kingdom, or the mountains I saw on the way from the Oskaia Empire to the Vidon Empire last time, they are all verdant and green, with a lot of trees and vegetation.

Even in the Warcraft Continent, there are few barren mountains like the Iwu Kingdom.

The mountains here are bare, at most stone, and now it's spring, and only at the foot of the mountain, or at the pass between the mountains, will there be some green, but it is also full of weeds.

Along the way, Brandy sat in the carriage, and did not know how many barren mountains he had bypassed, until it was almost noon, when the terrain gradually calmed down, and he came to a basin-like place.

It is said to be like a basin, mainly around or barren mountains, only here is quite flat.

There are low dwellings all around, it is said that it is a city but there are no city walls, it can only be regarded as a small town, but there are not even people to do business, there are many people, but they are all yellow and thin, most of them are women and children, and there are few adults.

The officials of the Iwu Kingdom who followed with a calm face, still ignoring Flandi and the others, just urging the carriage to move forward quickly.

After passing through the town, we finally came to the mine.

What Uncle Sanhuang said is indeed right, the ore accumulated here is really too much, so much that there is no way to count it.

I don't know how many pieces of ore have been piled up into hills, and there is no end in sight to such hills.

Some of these ores have obviously been piled up for a long time, and after countless years of wind and rain, the accumulated dust has filled the gaps between the ores and ores, and many weeds have grown tenaciously in the thin dust.

At this point, the carriage had stopped, and everyone got out of the carriage and sighed with emotion as they looked at the hill of ore piled up.

If it weren't for the existence of the portal, I don't know how many years these ores would have piled up here, and so many resources would not be used, which is really too wasteful.

However, there is no way, because there are too many ores, and it is simply not possible for manpower to transport them to the Central Empire.

"This is it, you are all free!" The accompanying officials of the Yiwu Kingdom had a cold face, put aside a sentence and turned around and left, returned to the carriage, and let the coachman return to the royal capital.

These officials from the Ministry of Industry who came did not know the reason, and they were a little angry when they saw them so perfunctory.

Ministers Frankie and Dean knew about it, so they didn't say anything.

"Frandy, it's up to you. ”

"Get it right away"

As he spoke, the parts of the portal that Flandi had removed from the palace were set up at the foot of the Ore Mountain.

After the portal is set up, there will be nothing to do with Flandy, and someone from the Ministry of Industry will transport the ore back.

But Flandy didn't go back, he was a little interested here.

When Uncle Sanhuang said it, he was a little vague, but he didn't say what metals these ores could be refined.

It's also possible that he doesn't know at all, but the Ministry of Industry needs all kinds of ores, even the cheapest iron ore, which is of great use.

Of course, all kinds of magic vehicles are indispensable for steel, and those newly designed agricultural tools are also indispensable for steel.

And now the Imperial Academy of Sciences is experimenting with various synthetic metals, and the demand for steel is also huge.

More and more people have come to the newly set up portal, and it seems that Minister Dean is very well prepared, and even the construction team has sent two teams to build houses, roads and other infrastructure.

Frandy left on his own, and walked slowly towards the town, asking the locals about the composition of the ore.

The town is not too big, but it is not small, there are thousands of houses, these houses are made of some stones, they look very sturdy, but they are a little low, with Flandy's height, you have to keep your head down if you want to enter.

Many children were running and playing in the streets, pedestrians were also hurrying to and fro, and there were very few men, probably going to work, most of them women.

But the strange thing is that there are very few old people here, not nothing, but Flandi walked for a long time before he saw an old man, and this old man has a lot of scars on his face, neck, and arms.

It was not surprising to meet one Flandy, but the longer he stayed in the town, he had already seen four.

This is a little abnormal, could it be that there was a fire These four old people went to fight the fire together, and then burned at the same time?

Just as he was wondering, he noticed that a carriage was slowly driving towards him.

The carriage was not a carriage for rides, but a carriage for imprisoning people, with a wooden cage with a hole in the cage in which the neck of a man in his fifties who looked emaciated was stuck in the hole.

There were also a few soldiers with guns and following the carriage, but they were also loose and lacklustre.

The carriage was followed by many passers-by, pointing and not knowing what to say.

"Looks like a sinner, this is a parade in the streets?" thought to Flandy, flashing to the edge of the road, and watching the excitement.

Before the carriage could reach him, a woman suddenly ran out of an alley, and this woman was holding a baby in her arms, and ran directly to the carriage and began to cry.

"Abba, why did you get caught if you ran away, woo woo!"

As the woman cried, so did the baby in her arms.

Flandy thought that the soldiers would drive the woman away, but instead of doing so, he comforted her.

"Sister-in-law, we can't help it, the above requires us to catch Daddy Rhodes, if we can't catch it, they will throw us to fetch flint. ”

Another soldier also said, "Sister-in-law, my father may survive if he goes to fetch flint, but where can he run away? ”

"Yes, none of us can escape this trip, whether we live or die, we can only resign ourselves to fate. ”

The passers-by who followed behind also gathered around and comforted them.

"Huh, not a sinner, but to fetch some flint?" said Freddy, who heard their conversation, and his heart moved.

After walking a few steps, I came to the side of the crowd and listened carefully to what they were saying.

However, after listening for a while, I found that they were all persuading the old man in the cage and this woman, and did not say any information about the price.

Simply, Flandi grabbed one of the soldiers and asked, "This big brother, what crime has this old man committed?"

The soldier looked Flandy up and down a few times, and found that it was a fresh face, and he was well dressed, and said vigilantly: "This is the matter of our mine, don't inquire if you have nothing to do." ”

Seeing that people didn't say it, Franky had no choice but to resort to the money method.

He pulled the soldier out, but he didn't expect it to cause the soldier's hostility, and even the weapon in his hand was aimed at Frandi.

When the soldier moved, people also saw Flandie and stared at him with careful eyes, which made Flandi a little embarrassed.

"Big brother, I'm just inquiring, I don't mean anything else, just tell me. As he spoke, he secretly sent a gold coin in his hand to the soldier.

The soldier had probably never encountered such a thing in his life, and when he felt that Flandiser had given him something round, flat, and somewhat cool, he raised his hand directly and spread his palm.

"Gold!" the soldier cried out in surprise.

"Wow, this is gold?"

"The gold coin used to look like this!"

"It's the first time I've seen a gold coin. ”

"Me too, Quint has made a fortune this time. ”

"Who is this man, and how can he have gold coins?"

"I don't know, it seems to be from outside. ”

The soldier's subconscious actions made the gold coin appear in front of everyone's eyes, causing a burst of amazement.

"What are you giving me gold coins for?" The soldiers were so upright that they didn't even know the magic of the Dafa of money.

Flandy was even more embarrassed, and he found that the people here were a little different from the people he often came into contact with elsewhere, and to say that simplicity was a compliment, or rather a stupidity.

"Big brother, I just want to know what crime this old man has committed. Flandy scratched his head and said quickly.

"You said Daddy Rod, he didn't commit a crime, if you insist on saying that it's okay to commit a crime, who told him to run away. The soldier was right.

"But why did he run away?" said Flandy, who was getting more and more curious, why did he run away since he had not committed a crime.
