"Alas, who told him not to go and fetch the flint? The soldier sighed. Then he said, "I said, sir, why did you give me gold coins?"

Three black lines hung from the corners of Flandy's forehead, he had never seen a man like a soldier.

"Ask a question, I'm not asking you, as long as you answer my question, this gold coin is yours. ”

"Huh?" the soldier looked at Flandy like a fool.

The crowd behind him didn't expect that this big man just wanted to ask some questions that everyone knew, so he took out a gold coin!

"Then you ask! I can't go back! With this gold coin I can marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Flandi had the urge to strangle the soldier, and it seemed that he had really taken himself for an idiot.

But the question still needs to be asked, so Franky said, "And what is the flint?"

"Flint is flint, a stone that can emit fire, and we rely on it to smelt ore here!" the soldier glanced at Flandy again, thinking that the big man did not know such a simple matter.

"Well, then why doesn't the old man want to fetch the flint?"

"Because of the heat, you have to get the flint close to the fire cave, and if you are not careful, you will be burned to death! Even if you can come out alive, you will ......."

The soldier looked left and right, pulled another old man out of the crowd, and said, "Look like him!

Sure enough, the old man who was pulled out by the soldiers also had a lot of burn scars on his body.

"Fire cave, fire cave!" Flandy suddenly remembered that Vice President Gavin had told him a few days ago that there was a fire cave in the Iwu Kingdom, which produced a magical material called "Fire Crystal".

"Didn't you make any mistakes, and you have to go and fetch flint?" asked Flandy curiously.

"Alas......" the soldier sighed again.

"You don't know, this is the tradition of our town of Mirlai, as long as a man reaches the age of fifty, no one can escape this trip, this is our fate. If you want to escape, look at it, it's going to be him. As he spoke, the soldier pointed to the old man in the cage.

Flanddy now understands why these people are no longer strange, it turns out to be their tradition.

It's just that this tradition is a bit cruel, and if you are not careful, you will be burned alive, no wonder this old man is reluctant to fetch flint.

"Big brother, can you let someone else replace me? If I'm willing to fetch the flint for him, will he be able to skip this trip?"

"You're going to fetch flint?" the soldier looked at Franky with a very strange look.

"yes, okay?"

"Don't you know that you might die if you take the flint?"

"It's okay, you just say it's okay. ”

"Where do I know? I'm going to ask the mayor!"

Dizzy, Frandy really wanted to strangle the soldier.

"Shall I go with you?"

"What's so nice about this, it's hot there!"

"Well, since you don't refuse, then I'll take a look. Flandy really didn't want to talk to the soldier anymore.

The soldier rolled his eyes and said, "You are such a strange person, you have feet on your legs, and you don't have the final say on where to go?" Why do you have to ask me? ”

Well, I'll bear it, Brandie looked up, not even wanting to look at the soldier again.

The woman had been lying on the side of the prisoner car crying, and the group of people could not persuade her, and the four soldiers were not in a hurry, just waiting for her to cry enough.

At last the woman's tears were dry, and the people could not persuade her, and gradually dispersed, and then the soldiers felt that they were almost there, and slapped the buttocks of the horses that were pulling the prisoner cart, and the trapped cart moved slowly forward.

The woman knew she couldn't stop it, but she was reluctant to leave, so she followed the prisoner's cart.

The terrain here was unfamiliar to Franky, so he couldn't help it, and no matter how much he hated the soldier in his heart, he could only follow behind the prisoner cart.

The direction of progress was the same as the path where Frandy had come, and after walking for half an hour, he returned to the vicinity where the portal had been installed.

At this time, there were already hundreds of people who had been teleported here from the Ministry of Industry in the imperial capital, and everyone was busy all the time, and a large area of the ground had been leveled, and it seemed that they were preparing to build a house.

Flandy was following behind the prison cart, he was tall, and Minister Dean saw him walking with a prisoner cart at a glance, and just wanted to say hello, but saw Flandy wave his hand, signaling him to keep quiet.

I don't know what Flandi is going to do, but Minister Dean knows Flandie's strength, so he is not worried.

The four soldiers were a little surprised to see so many people coming here, they didn't know any of these people, they just looked at them curiously, then ignored them and continued to drive the prisoner cart forward.

It's a straight road, and the ore is piled up on both sides of the road, and there is no end in sight.

Flandy followed the prisoner van and walked for more than an hour before he realized that there was indeed a smelter here.

The smelter occupies a large area, with a total of five rows of furnaces, and since they are all shaft furnaces, they are directly set up on the ground, so it is impossible to see what is in the furnace, but only a half-meter-high flame is sprayed from the mouth of the furnace facing the sky.

There are no workshops, the shaft furnaces are all open-air, and there are many middle-aged men who are busy working, some are transporting ore, some are smashing ore with sledgehammers, and some are throwing small pieces of ore into the shaft furnace.

At this point, the prisoner cart stopped, and the soldier ran into a building quite far from the shaft furnace.

It was a building, but it was only one floor, but it was quite spacious, and it didn't take long for the soldier to come over with a somewhat fat man who was much better dressed than the average civilian.

The man walked up to the prisoner cart and said in an impatient voice: "Old Rod, what do you say you are running? There are mountains here, where can you run? What do you have to do with this, look, isn't this still being captured?"

The old man in the prisoner car originally closed his eyes, but he listened to the fat man before slowly opening his eyes.

"Lord Matthew, I'...... I don't want to die yet! My little grandson has just been born, and I still want to watch him grow up, so you can let me go, woo woo!"

"Alas, if you don't run, prepare at home, eat a few more bowls of rice, and raise enough strength, maybe you can come back alive, but now you see, just like you, how can you persist until you come back with flint. ”

This Master Ma Xiu also sympathized with the old man in the prisoner car, but there was no way, he didn't dare to let the old man go.

"Who are you, sir?"

Matthew and old Rhodes spoke a few words, and then saw Frandy in the back. Because Frankie is tall and strong, and well-dressed, he speaks politely.

"Hello, my name is Flandy, and I'm a passer-by, and I saw this Rhodes dad being arrested, so I came to have a look. ”

"What's so nice, I'm afraid he won't live long. Matthew shook his head.

Old Rod and the woman began to weep bitterly again when they heard this from Matthew.

"Lord Matthew, if I were to fetch the flint in the place of this Rhodes father, would you please let him live?" Flandy stared at Matthew to see what he could say.

"You know, it's a fire cave, it's a matter of whether you can get out alive, you're still so young, and it's not like that. I'm going to put myself in it!"

It seems that this Master Matthew has a good heart, and Flandy feels a little pleasing to the eye when he looks at him.

"It's okay, since I said I was going, I naturally have my way. ”

Lord Matthew lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "Sir, it's not that I don't want you to go to fetch flint instead of Old Rod, but the rules of our Millair Town are like this, if you replace him this time, then what will others do in the future?"

"Really, no?" said Frankie, feeling that Master Matthew had a point.

"Really, sir, don't look at me as an adult, in fact, I am just a small leader, and I am also from the town of Miler, and when I am fifty years old, I will not be able to escape the fate of a trip!"

Flandy frowned, he thought that this adult was different from everyone else, but he didn't expect that even he was no exception.

"But......" Frankie was about to say something, but was interrupted by Matthew.

"Sir, you may not know that our Miler Town has been making a living from mining and smelting for generations, and our Yiwu Kingdom has no trees, and if you want to smelt metal, you can only rely on flint, and there is no way to do it, the rules of hundreds of years cannot be broken because of you!"
