Chapter 47: The Biggest Secret
Riding in the carriage, Anna left Black Iron Town and headed in the direction of the mine, and finally came to a flat clearing at the foot of the mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A flock of walking birds, pulling carts full of ore, are leisurely descending the rugged mountain road.
Anna knows the people who are chasing the walking birds, and they are also from Sequoia Town. Compared to working in the town, they seem very laid-back. All they needed to do was to drive each of the twenty walking birds to pull the ore to the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, and then drive the twenty walking birds that had already set up the empty cart and go up the mountain leisurely.
There was a strange iron house in the clearing, surrounded by guards armed with crossbow arrows on all sides and on the roof, and even two heavy heavy crossbows mounted on the roof.
It seems that there must be a secret of Renault hidden in this house, and Anna's curiosity is at its peak, so she takes a closer look.
In addition to a small door on the front, there are two square openings on each side, and the ground is paved with steel rails.
Someone unloaded the cart from the walking bird, pushed it onto one of the tracks, hung a rope, and the person on the other side of the house got the signal and pulled the cart into the house. By the time the cart appeared from the other side, the cart full of ore had turned into a half-cart of iron!
The iron seemed to be radiating heat, but it wasn't very hot, and someone had put a good amount of coal into the cart and pushed it aside.
The flat ground was already densely packed with small carts loaded with iron and coal, at least six or seven hundred.
Counting the 300 cars still on the mountain road, the number of such carts alone is close to a thousand, how much time and materials does it take to produce these identical carts?
The workers who work here are very relaxed, just pushing and pushing trolleys, which are very light to push and even lighter to put on the tracks.
There was also a man with a pen for counting, and when the number was probably up, he told the workers to stop pulling ore into the riley and instead push the cart with iron and coal onto another track.
Then the magic reappeared, and after the iron and coal came out, there were several square and flat steel plates, neatly stacked on the trolley.
Anna couldn't believe her eyes, what kind of magic was hidden in this house?
At this moment, the small door of the house was opened, and Renaud stood inside and waved to her with a smile.
"Miss Anna, I know you must be tempted to come in and see what is in it that magically turns ore into steel," said Renault, standing in the doorway, "but promise me that you will keep it secret from me after you see it." ”
"Would you really like to let me see it?"
"What's not to do?" Renault smiled, the confidence and composure in his smile gave this ordinary-looking young man an aura of superiority, "You are a close confidant of Lord Momiji, and you are also my honored guest." The first thing we need to work with is honesty. Please come in!"
In fact, there is nothing special in the house.
On the two rows of tracks, there are two large iron boxes, and there are also square holes on both sides. The trolley pulls the material in from one end and then out from the other, and it has become a finished product.
This...... Is there any difference from what you see outside?
Anna was about to ask, when Renault put his hand into the small hole above the iron box, and then spewed flames into it, until the iron box was burned red.
"Actually, it's not too magical," Renault said, touching the red boxes, "These two chests have been specially treated by me to absorb and store the flames emitted by my demons, which is how they work." ”
It turned out that he had used the power of the demon!
Renault's lie did not change his face, and when he saw her admiration, his heart relaxed a little.
He knew that not only Anna, but also his subordinates were very confused, after all, it was too unbelievable to directly turn ore into finished materials. So he came up with this idea, he made two large boxes, hid the phone in the boxes, and made a show outside, so that people could believe that he was using the magical power of the demon.
Although it is still full of flaws, once the demon spirit is involved, no matter how unbelievable it is, some people will believe it.
Besides, there are so many incredible things in this town, and under one shock after another, everyone will be a little numb.
Renault is taking advantage of people's psychology to perfectly hide his biggest secret.
After coming out of the small house, Anna's heart still couldn't calm down for a long time. She came on behalf of Momiji to spy on Renault to see if he was violating the spirit of the contract by selling alcohol and food.
But now it seems that this may not happen.
With this small house alone smelting steel, Renault will soon be able to become rich, which is definitely more profitable than brewing.
Getting into the carriage, Anna and Renault slowly walked towards the mine together. In the carriage, Renault kept telling her about the surrounding mines, and depending on the color of the ore, the metals they were able to smelt were different.
Only then did she realize that Black Iron Town was not only about steel, but also about more unheard of metals.
In the face of Renault's honesty, Anna feels like a suspicious villain, and although she has no bad intentions, she still feels a little ashamed.
"Lord Renault, where are we going now?"
"Take you to the mines, I'm sure you'll be amazed!" Renault looked a little mysterious, his expression as if to tell her that the real event was next. "This is the biggest secret of Black Iron Town right now, and I'm sure you'll be absolutely interested. ”
"Why?" Anna was even more puzzled, even if she represented Momiji, there was no need for Renault to show her all the secrets, "Lord Renault, I really don't understand why you want to show me these secrets." And you may not know it, but I'm a ...... sent by Momiji."
"Of course I know, and I'm not stupid. ”
"Then why are you still ......?"
"And tell you all the secrets, don't you?" Renault replied with a smile, "I did this to tell everyone that Black Iron Town has no secrets for my friends. ”
Is it really that simple?, Anna thought.
Renault continued: "Sooner or later, this secret will be known to the whole world, and I will just let you know in advance, so that you will not be too surprised by the time." ”
"I've found myself surprised enough today," Anna quipped, "and I don't know what else could surprise me again." ”
But when she reached the top of the mine, she realized that it was not worth mentioning compared to what she had seen in front of her.
As a capable person, she has participated in countless battles, and she is by no means a timid person, but at this time, her feet trembled slightly.
