Thousands of miles away in the town of Steel, the townspeople and soldiers are hurrying to build the walls in front of the town in preparation for the upcoming defensive battle against the demon army.

Steel Town is different from other towns in Middle-earth, and its most important feature is that it is guarded by walls in front of and around the town.

When Ri Bingfei first entered this realm, he mistakenly thought it was a city, but he didn't expect that it was just a town slightly larger than ordinary towns.

Although the height of the walls is not too high, it is enough to briefly cope with the enemy's siege and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

This is one of the main defense bases of the Tianyucheng army stationed in the east, because of the relatively perfect military system, as well as the evil iron and the two generals of Qinggang who have been praised for thousands of years, so that the steel town has not been invaded by foreign invasion for thousands of years, so it has the reputation of "tough shield".

The defense was led by Tie Xin, and was basically divided into two parts, one part not only increased the height of the wall, but also stabilized the unbreakable hardness of the wall, and the other part was to set up an abusive mechanism on the wall to prevent the enemy from climbing.

As for Tie Qiao, she was mainly responsible for the work of the iron mining camp and the cast iron camp ten miles away.

Iron mining is an extremely tedious and complex work, from surveying, mining, smelting to later casting gold and iron steel, it takes a lot of energy to complete the task.

How could a person like Tie Qiao who cherishes his family bear to let his sister Tie Xin suffer and suffer!

So without saying a word, he shouldered the most difficult responsibility.

Tie Qiao has never mined iron ore, and he has no experience in this aspect of exploration technology, so it is inevitable that he will stumble when he starts to do things.

Today, the drizzle is endless, put aside the messy noise of the mining area, calm down, listen to the sound of the rain, it seems that there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

Even the mediocre "flotation" cannot be used as a method to identify iron ore, which helplessly increases the efficiency of the iron mining brigade to find ore.

Looking at the vast range of iron beds but only a very small amount of iron ore could be collected, Tie Qiao couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, and even the sweat and rain that could not be distinguished were splashed from the flour with its shaking.

In order to cope with the hard labor of iron mining, whether it is rain or shine, Tie Qiao always used silk to wrap his face into layers after layers, leaving only a pair of bright eyes, for fear that the inhalation of the occasional poison in the iron ore would affect the command of the final battle.

Of course, for some ordinary iron mining workers, the defensive measures of covering their heads and faces will only affect their normal work results, so they simply start digging iron without covering up and protecting them.

However, today's summer rain happened to occur, which made the iron mining migrant workers who may have worked in vain feel deeply resentful, and everyone's excited emotions came to their hearts for a while, and the disturbance continued.

There was a strong man who seemed to be powerful, and he was furious and scolded: "His grandmother's male, I Laozi is here to mine iron to support his family, this iron woman who doesn't know anything as a leader, when she encounters a little rain, she can't do anything, but we get how much salary we receive according to how much we collect, and we don't understand anything and take the lead in saying something nonsense?"

There is also a short and solid middle-aged man, who should be a fellow who scolded before, and also joined in the sarcasm and ridicule: "There is a saying that "people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic", you can't make a lot of money by collecting iron ore here, and you can't eat enough when you go back to the camp. ”

"What kind of iron is mined, what steel is cast, we might as well pack up and go back to our hometown......" Another protest came from nowhere.

The iron-mining workers chirped crookedly, and the scene was chaotic in an instant.

Encountering this kind of situation, Tie Qiao couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he had to lobby around and say a few words to lower everyone's anger, but everyone didn't eat this set.

At this moment, a tall and slender man, with a plain white face and long hair fluttering, estimated to be less than thirty years old, walked towards Tie Qiao Shi.

Tie Qiao looked up and down at the tall and thin man in plain clothes, and saw that he deliberately concealed his faintly trembling right hand, his eyes were slightly large and yellow, and he secretly thought that this person might be suffering from a hidden disease, and his condition should be not light.

Despite this, the visitor still politely bowed to him and saluted three times respectfully, and said: "General Tie, in Xia Ah Temple, I have just joined the iron mining battalion of Iron and Steel Town, and I belong to the twenty-third team of the thirteenth battalion. Hereby, my father was an iron miner during his lifetime, and my father had described the current situation of not being able to mine iron, so maybe there was a way. ”

Hearing that someone had a solution to this situation, some good iron miners also gathered around.

Tie Qiao was too happy to ask happily, "Hmm... Temple... Is there a good way to keep everyone mining iron in the rain without affecting the progress?"

"Boom... It's this dark stone!" Ah Si coughed, confidently pulled out a dark blue stone-like thing from his baggage, and handed it to Tie Qiaodao.

After Tie Qiao took the stone, although his knowledge of iron ore was at the entry level, he found that it seemed to be somewhat similar to the black octahedral magnet that is generally used to find iron ore, but it was slightly different.

First of all, this magnet has a distinct color and is a diamond-shaped dodecahedron.

When you hold this magnet in your hand, you will feel warm in your palm, as if you have just held a freshly baked steamed bun that makes you feel very happy.

The red daggers on both sides of the waist are faintly vibrating, proving that this magnet has a very strong magnetic attraction.

Tie Qiao returned the piece of Xuanshi from the mouth of Ah Si, and asked curiously, "How did this thing come from?"

Ah Si coughed again, and said sadly: "Boom... About a few years ago, there was a strange rain in the sky, and the raindrops were surprisingly large. Many villagers were smashed half to death by it, and a few people died because of it!"

Ah Si's tone was blunt, and the content was even more exaggerated.

Tie Qiao's face darkened, and when he saw the expressions of the crowd, he felt that Ah Si was a little arrogant, and said with a look of smacking his lips and pursing his lips: "No matter how big the raindrops are, it is impossible to kill people!"

"Boom... Of course... Of course... After the rainstorm, the villagers realized that it was not the rain that had just fallen, but the stones that had fallen from the sky. Ah Si was extremely anxious in his heart, coughing even more, and his already pale face became even paler, for fear of causing people to misunderstand and annoy, so he quickly explained.

"Is that the one in front of you?" said Tie Qiao.

"Exactly. Ah Si's face was solemn, and he held his breath and said quietly.

"Then what's the use of this stone?" Tie Qiao asked confusedly.

"Whew... I think General Tie should have felt its super magnetic properties the moment he held the Xuanshi. One day, my father discovered its wonders and used it to find the iron ore hidden in the mountains. He once said that even in the rain, if you tie a stone to an iron tool such as a hoe or a plow, you can find iron ore buried deep in the ground according to its vibration frequency. Aji said confidently.

"So, you mean that as long as one person leads the way and the others follow their instructions. Tie Qiao said what was possible.

"Exactly. Aji nodded slightly.

Tie Qiao exhaled, his bright eyes seemed to be interpreting a look of regret, and said, "It's a pity that you only have one piece of Xuanshi, otherwise you can increase the intensity of the iron mining process." ”

"Boom... I happened to bring a few different sizes of stones, and the big ones can be cut into small pieces... Boom... It is believed that it can bring great benefits to the iron mining camp. Ah Si coughed a few more times, then took out a few pieces of Xuanshi from his baggage, handed them to Tie Qiao and smiled.

"It seems that no matter how big the wind and rain are, it can't stop the determination of the steel people in Steel Town to cast gold. Tie Qiao said happily.

Tie Qiao looked down at the dusty raindrops, and all the scenes were in his heart, and there was a raging flame burning in his heart, which could not be extinguished by any rain......

Time was running out, blinking, and a few more days passed, and the cold and biting northeast wind barely meant to stop.

Bing Fei looked up, and the starry sky tonight did not have the usual brilliance, as if it was being affected by a terrifying star in the north.

This palpitating star is like a ruby inlaid in a golden hairpin, quietly merging the surrounding stars, giving people a feeling of "all the stars are dim, only I am sharp".

What's even more strange is that this red star sometimes flickers and flickers with the pace of Bing Fei and Wuqi.

As soon as they moved, the stars twinkled.

As soon as they stop, the stars return to the darkness.

It was as if there was an eye in the night sky watching their every move, and there was an extremely murderous aura wafting in the air, terrifying and terrifying.

The celestials of the Heavenly Realm had hinted that in addition to the Black Dragon Emperor, there was an even more evil force that was secretly manipulating Middle-earth, and that strange red star was the "spy" used by this unknown force to scout him.

Unconsciously, with the assistance of the two divine beasts, Bing Fei and Wu Qi had crossed countless small rivers surrounding the Blue Sea Divine Forest.

When he was a child, Bing Fei always felt very strange why the word "Blue Sea" in the Blue Sea Divine Forest was exactly the same as the name of the Blue Sea, the king of elves, and whether there was some special relationship or special meaning between them.

It wasn't until he grew up that he suddenly realized the origin of the name Blue Sea Divine Forest after some explanation by Bing Mu.

The Blue Sea Forest is a large sea-like forest, surrounded by hundreds of small rivers that will eventually return to the sea.

These small rivers all have a peculiar phenomenon, the river water is clear and transparent, sparkling, blue light sparkling like diamonds floating on the surface of the river, the halo reflected is extremely dazzling, so it is called the "blue river". Since the number of rivers is close to hundreds, the elves call it the "Hundred Blue River".

I don't know when tens of thousands of years ago, this vast area that has been surrounded by the Blue River like the sea is naturally called the "Blue Sea Divine Forest" by everyone.

As for the elf king Blue Sea, it is rumored that he was an orphan who was abandoned and thrown into the sea, and he drifted from the Han Sea to the Bailan River and still did not die, but was rescued by the elf mother of longevity, so he was given the name "Blue Sea".

It's just that what the elves didn't expect was that this blue ocean, which has been strange since childhood, is beyond the mundane, and after hard work, it has become the first elf in Middle-earth's magic, and finally became the king of the elves for the longest time.

That is, he had already crossed the Hundred Blue River, and flashed into the uninhabited forest sea in front of him, which was the secret entrance to the Blue Sea Divine Forest, where the elves of the Middle Earth Continent lived and coexisted thousands of years ago......
