Chapter 7 It's better to sit than to be upside down
"Boom Boom~"
"Boom Boom~"
The noise of the steam locomotive goes back and forth, but it is not unpleasant, but it smells of white noise, and it makes you drowsy to hear it.
But I couldn't sleep, the steam locomotive that the gold diggers were riding in didn't have a sleeper at all, and when they came, they almost got their legs swollen, and when they went back, there was no one, and even no one.
But the damn seat was short and hard, and it was not as comfortable to lie down as it was to sit, so I could only squint slightly.
It's old York, this guy has probably been in the mine for a long time, and he just found an open space to lie down, and just fell asleep on his back.
glanced at his severed finger, it had scabbed, and he would use electromagnetic waves to disinfect him from time to time, but there was no infection, but if such an injury wanted to heal, it didn't take a month or two, so you don't have to think about it..
"Oh~~~~"
Suddenly, the steam locomotive pulled the whistle violently, and the speed of the car was reduced, judging from his body leaning forward, this speed reduction was very large, and the alchemy troops who followed the escort in the train also seemed to immediately make a response to prepare for battle, and they were ready to fight one by one.
"What's the situation?"
When the steam locomotive came to a complete stop, Fugui learned that the rails in front of him had been removed, and that the steam locomotive had some kind of mechanism that could detect whether the rails had been damaged.
Of course, that's not the point right now, as a dozen nomads with distinctly orc traits lurk in the night from the 3D perspective of the riches.
"I see..."
While monitoring their movements, Fugui read the brain waves radiating from them, and soon understood their purpose, either robbery or simply destroying the railroad tracks.
Normally, these nomadic robbers do not destroy the track, on the one hand, it is meaningless, thankless, and if it is broken, it is good to repair it, and then there is no track, and they have no place to fight the autumn wind.
Especially in the train to the front line, there are always all kinds of good things, weapons, medicines, and magic energy solutions deployed to the front line, etc., in the face of a long train, even the alchemy troops stationed on the car cannot take care of all the carriages, usually speaking, most people will only be stationed near the most precious magic energy solution carriages, so they will always be robbed of some.
In a sense, these robbing nomads have even reached a tacit agreement with the alchemy troops who escort the cars, not to force the train to stop, not to set fire to the cars and destroy the materials, only to take things, they will not even attack.
When they ride horses, they let them take it, and how much they can take, on the contrary, after you take it, those alchemy troops can also take some of it to supplement their families, anyway, just write a report afterwards and throw the pot out.
But now that the front line is preparing for war, these orcs wandering in the rear have probably received some orders, just like this, back and forth, hiding from the patrol troops in the rear, destroying your railroad tracks, knowing that you can repair, but repairing also requires time and energy, and it can be regarded as a war of attrition.
Thinking about it like this, Fugui temporarily put his mind at ease.
If this train is a car to the front, maybe there will be a battle next, but this car is back to the city, and it is full of ore, and the ore that has not been refined is a big stone, and even these orcs are not interested.
The only valuable thing should be the magic crystal that was guarded by the alchemy troops, and according to the electromagnetic waves fed back from the carriage, there were indeed a few pieces in it that were in very good condition.
But considering that it was heavily guarded and covered by thick steel carriages, it was unlikely that they would be attacked head-on, unless there were some very powerful transcendents among these orcs.
But in fact, no, in essence, the transcendent is a 'machine', not to mention the function, but the more 'energy storage', the stronger the strength, and judging from the feedback of those orcs, there is no too exaggerated existence.
"Huh?? Groove (uplifted)?? ”
I was going to wait quietly, but in the midst of the group of orcs, a guy with a pig's nose pointed to his carriage and muttered a bunch of words that he couldn't understand, but he could still sense the thoughts in his head.
To put it simply, it smelled that there was a very good quality magic crystal in this carriage, and there were only three ordinary people in this carriage, and there was no alchemy army.
"Nima's.."
Fugui held his face, his electromagnetic waves could hide the light at the visual level, and even shield the electromagnetic fluctuations emitted by the magic crystal, but he couldn't do anything about the smell, and that thing was not in his hands.
Then, he looked at Old York, who was still lying on the ground and asleep, and he didn't get angry, aren't you an old koi? That's it?
"Ahem~~"
Suddenly, a cough interrupted the ability to rich and noble's thoughts, and it was old York who woke up.
"You haven't slept yet..."
"My butt hurts when I sit on, and I can't sleep..."
Fugui gritted his teeth and said.
"Hey, I see that you just haven't suffered much, and the mine is so panicked, I also lie down and fall asleep.."
As he spoke, Old York stood up and staggered into the toilet between the partitions of the two carriages, and as he slammed the toilet door shut, the windows of the carriages suddenly burst, and the broken glass pierced the seat where he had been lying down like a goddess.
If he hadn't gotten up, he might not have died, but he would have been pierced into a hedgehog, not to mention that there was a sturdy orc who came in with the broken glass, and if he stepped on it, he would definitely not survive.
"Wipe Nima, it turns out that your koi attribute is only valid for yourself, right?"
The orc with a pig's nose did not hesitate after breaking into the carriage, and directly locked his eyes on Fugui and walked straight over.
"Purr~"
On the way, he waved the machete in his hand a few times, saying something he didn't understand, but from his brainwaves, Fugui knew that he meant, don't move, or you will be hacked to death!
"Hey.."
Fugui sighed, looked up at the pig-nosed man quietly, without warning, a white ball of light appeared above his head, the ball of light exploded instantly, and the dazzling light instantly radiated to the entire carriage, but more was reflected outside through the window.
From a distance, the carriage where Fugui was located seemed to suddenly give birth to several thick pillars of light.
The light dissipated, and the pig-nosed man stood there straight, and after a few slight swayings, he lay down on the floor of the carriage with a bang, setting off bursts of air mixed with burnt and fishy stench, and Fugui had the urge to retch.
Of course, Fugui is not sure whether this impulse stems from the smell of fish, or whether it stems from his first murder, even if it is a person with a pig's nose.
However, he is not a virgin, except for the feeling of some blood surging on his head at the moment, he has no sense of guilt, and even a little excited, this feeling of holding the power of life and death of others, to be honest, is indeed a little fascinating...
