Get to Uptown.......... Hearing Team Leader Sander's inquiry, the workers who were hooking their shoulders and preparing to go to the canteen were stunned.

One by one, out of instinct, showed a reluctant look on their faces.

After all, after a morning of work, it is a high-intensity excavation of stone embryos, which not only consumes energy, but also consumes great physical strength, and every worker is hungry.

The journey to Uptown is not short, and the round trip takes at least two hours.

If you are a normal person, you definitely don't want this unlucky errand to be spread on your head.

Maybe when the time comes back, the food in the cafeteria will be cold........... No, it's a question of whether there is leftover or not.

Team Leader Sander saw everyone's expressions, and still didn't understand what they were thinking?

Suddenly, his brows tightened fiercely, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.

This matter cannot be delayed, because recently a master of the Church has visited the lower mines, and at this juncture, if his duties are not good, he has not handed over the goods on time............

Once discovered by the master of the black craftsman, it will definitely affect his position evaluation, and even usher in punishment.

Just as Team Leader Sander was annoyed in his heart, he was ready to point out a lucky one at random.

Suddenly, a voice that surprised him came from behind him: "I am willing to escort the goods." ”

Team Leader Sander looked back in surprise and saw that 'Sue' had already put on his gloves and looked like he was waiting for the dispatch, he never expected that someone would be willing to take the initiative.

Moreover, the other party is someone he didn't expect.

"Okay, I'll leave this shipment to you." Team Leader Sander immediately changed his smiling face, his tone softened a lot, and he said with a rare politeness: "I will ask the canteen to leave you a lunch, increase the amount of meat, thank you, Su." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, it's my duty."

Su Shi took over the shipment, turned to Coffey, who had stepped forward to persuade him, and nodded goodbye.

Seeing this, Coffey could only stop and watch Su Shi escort the goods away.

The people who escorted the goods were not only in the group of Suses, but there were also other groups of workers who were also assigned this job.

Of course, they are not necessarily voluntary, and they all have a sad look on their faces.

On the contrary, Su Shi's performance was calm and calm, not at all like a person working hungry.

It seems that Su Shi's 'recognized identity' embodies the role, and if you don't complete the side quest, you won't be able to receive this errand.

There are five groups of goods, five workers pushing the cart, plus the inspector at the front, a total of six people.

Led by the inspectors, they walked along the crisscrossed promenade and pushed carts all the way to the upper floor.

Su Shi blended in with the crowd, pushing the cart with his head down, and scanning the environment with his eyes, almost every corner of the eye.

No one noticed, about Su Shi's small movements.

Soon, they crossed the dormitory level of Schusz, and continued upward, gradually approaching the steel-cast buildings above. When they got closer, Su Shi was surprised to find that the buildings were suspended in the air.

They are not connected to the rock wall, but are supported by several huge steel columns in the sky.

The buildings resemble steep hills on cliffs, combined with each other to form a sky castle, and below the castle, there is a boiler-shaped red core that continuously releases steam heat.

At this moment, Su Shi understood where the smell of sulfur he smelled when he woke up came from..........

This is the sky city supported by steam power, and the scene like a fairy tale is unfolding in front of his eyes.

At the same time, Suoshi found that a large number of guards had been added to the corridor where they walked, all wearing dark black robes and holding thickened iron rods in their hands.

The originally noisy environment gradually became a lot quieter as their cart moved forward.

The sound of everyone stepping on the hollow steel plate echoed in his ears one after another, and not only that, but Su Shi found that the 'dormitory' on the rock wall had also become scarce, and it could only be seen every few meters, becoming sparse and rare.

However, the interior decoration of the dormitory has become more refined and luxurious, and it seems that the people who live in the upper echelons of the mining area, even if they do not live in the 'Black Gold City', have more status than the residents of the lower classes.

If I want to sneak into the upper floor, the front passage is difficult........... Su Shi looked at the entire corridor, and he found that there were too few dormitories on the rock wall, and the bad effect of the empty view was the lack of 'bunkers'.

Once you come up without permission, you can easily be captured by the guards.

Do you mean that I only have this one chance? Su Shi thought silently, and the next moment, the 'convoy' they were in had come to the entrance of the top level.

Several guards stepped forward, carefully checked the inspector's documents, and checked the people in the cart behind.

After confirming their delivery qualifications, the guards let everyone go.

This scene made Su Shi chuckle in his heart, and he felt more and more that it was very difficult to enter the 'Black Gold City'.

After the guards let them go, everyone pushed the wagon to the huge steel pillars, which turned out to be elevators inside, not only supporting the Sky Castle, but also serving as the only entrance to the Black Gold City.

As the elevator activated, everyone sat in the iron cage, and Su Shi looked down below.

When their altitude soared, the whole terrain was finally in sight..........

The middle of the mountain was completely hollowed out and became the living place of the lower mining area. The Black Gold City hovers above the mountain range, and several huge steel pillars, like a canopy of trees, support this sky castle........... Hey? Su Shi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Some of the steel pillars looked a little strange, and Su Shi could see them inserted into the interior of the mountain range, not connecting to the summit area, but before he could think about it, the elevator reached its target.

Boom!

With a light shock, the iron cage door slowly opened, and the scene in front of everyone was a steel city with a blue-gray tone.

The building is full of medieval Gothic style, and from a distance, it looks like a monstrous beast made of steel.

"Keep up and don't fall behind........."

The inspector at the front, with a very serious expression, turned to them and ordered: "This is the Black Gold City, we are not allowed to run around, otherwise, once we get involved in the forbidden area, the church knights who are patrolling the city are qualified to kill us on the spot." ”

"After all, we are not knights of the church, servants or servants with signs."

The seemingly absurd and exaggerated words, combined with the expression of absolute seriousness, made everyone realize that his words were definitely not a joke.

As one of the three major steam city-states, the only true inhabitants of the Black Gold City are the Black Craftsmen and the servants who serve them, such as the Church Knights, the Servants, or the Servants with a tag around their necks.

In short, they do not belong to any of the above, and if the Church Knight discovers the 'Passover', the latter has the power to adjudicate in public.

- The so-called verdict is to deprive them of their lives.

It can be seen that the status of the black craftsmen in this world is only that of knights who serve them, and they are also qualified to kill ordinary people.

It is no wonder that the contradiction between the black craftsman class and the common people is mentioned in the world profile.

In this environment, the deeper the contradictions accumulated by the two sides, the more terrifying the power will become when they erupt.

Maybe, I can take advantage of this? Su Shi thought silently.

Just when he was thinking about how to stir up contradictions and let the two sides fight, so as to stir up the situation.

This convoy of workers has stepped into the main road of the Black Gold City, and they can see more complex buildings than the mining area.

I'm in trouble........... Su Shi's eyelids twitched, and he had a premonition of the 'hard' review after he went back.

However, he still silently glanced at it and recorded everything he saw in the subconscious sea.

Ever since he learned that his special ability was the 'Memory Person', Su Shi also understood that the scene shrouded in gray mist was his subconscious sea.

All the scenes of things can be preserved in the subconscious sea.

A normal person cannot mobilize the subconscious sea, but as a 'memory person', he can read and explore the ocean.

This journey to escort the goods made him almost understand the main street of the Black Gold City.

The only thing missing is the branch streets behind the towers, after all, the city is not just the main road.

Half an hour later, finally, everyone came to a huge, egg-like forge factory.

As soon as you step into the workshop, you will be greeted by hot air.

Su Shi's gaze was immediately attracted by the thing in the center of the workshop:

It was a dark blue crystal suspended in mid-air, and below the crystal, the treated stone embryos also had a breath-like texture, with the crystal flickering and slightly rhythmic.

It's just that every rhythm reduces the texture of the stone embryo.

Between the texture on these stone embryos and the blue crystals, there are also small links and veins like dust, like straws, transmitting the energy of the stone embryos themselves to the blue crystals.

This is......... Su Shi's eyes moved, and almost at the same time, a familiar voice came from his ears:

[Hint: You have discovered 'Raw Iron', and the main line score has increased.] 】

Sure enough, this is the source of the strength of the blacksmiths - 'Raw Iron',

Su Shi looked at the dark blue crystal, and through the prompt sound in his ears, he had already determined the main goal.

At the same time, he also understood the reason why the black craftsmen were mining the area, and they wanted to use the stone embryo to take the initiative to cultivate a 'primordial iron'!

The earliest raw iron is supposed to have been born naturally, hidden in the depths of the mountains.

But with their continuous mining, the amount of raw iron born naturally has become less and less, and it has begun to be unable to satisfy the black craftsmen.

So, they invented a special way of cultivation.

Just like industrial diamonds and natural diamonds, the composition is exactly the same............ Su Shi realized in his heart.

Using a brief introduction to the world background, he guessed the truth of the scene ahead.

If I could take advantage of the opportunity to touch the raw iron........... Su Shi was a little restless in his heart, and the main goal was close at hand, and he couldn't help but have the thought of 'I can fight back'.

However, when his gaze swept, he saw two garrisons next to Haratietsu, the other of whom were dressed differently from ordinary guards, black and red basic colors, long robes, riding boots under tunic trousers, and gold flower badges on their chests, one holding a sharp axe, and the other wearing a Western sword.

Su Shi's gaze swept over, triggering the perception of one of them.

The garrison wearing the Western sword immediately raised his head and looked at Su Shi in the crowd.

For a moment, there was pressure in his eyes like red wine, which was not an ordinary sight, but more like the rejection of metal and steel.

Those who are watched, there is a faint illusion of being in a storm of steel.

This is......... Blacksmith?!

Su Shi felt a huge oppressive force, and immediately understood the identity of the other party - this kind of oppressive force is not available to ordinary people, there is only one possibility, and that is the 'black craftsman'!

The ruling class of this world, the group of beings who are in charge of extraordinary power!

Oops!

Su Shi realized that he was too reckless and attracted the attention of the blacksmith.

According to his identity, if he doesn't handle it well, let alone stealing the original iron, he will have to explain his life here.

After all, even the squires of the blacksmiths, the knights of the church, have the power to kill people in the streets, let alone the blacksmiths...........

At this moment, Su Shi had a premonition of a life crisis, and also realized how terrifying the difficulty of the 'Primordial Iron World' as the starting point of Lv5 was judged to be hell.

What to do?

At the moment of life and death, Su Shi's mind turned.

In an instant, he made a decision, forcibly suppressed the desire to turn his head, a little 'curiosity' appeared on his face, and then his gaze moved to the blacksmith's body, and in the next second, his face showed 'fear' and 'timidity'.

As if frightened by the oppressive force, Su Shi shrank his head and immediately pushed the cart with his head bored.

"What's wrong, Lyle?"

Claude noticed his companion's anomaly and took the initiative to ask, as for the person being questioned, it was the black craftsman who held the Western sword.

"Nothing, just a curious miner." Lyle withdrew his gaze and stopped looking in that direction.

Feeling the gaze on his body move away, Su Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, the black craftsmen didn't care about his curiosity.

On the contrary, if he shows a panicked demeanor at the first time, it will definitely arouse suspicion............ It's self-defeating.

Next, under the arrangement of the inspectors, the miners pushed the mine cart to dump the goods inside at the designated place.

After retracting his gaze, Lyle, who was holding a Western sword, no longer paid attention to the movement below, he looked at the primordial iron that was about to take shape in mid-air, and suddenly spoke: "I heard that the rebellion in the Gray Tide Region is very serious, and the Black Gold City has lost control of that area.

According to the informant's report, there is a group called the 'New Gospel' that has completely taken control of the Grey Tide Zone. ”

Claude raised his eyebrows, his expression was not particularly surprised, it seemed that he had already known the news.

"Except for the three major steam city-states, the rest of the gathering points can only be counted as 'regions', even if they are allowed to occupy it for a while, what impact will it have?" Claude sneered, and said disappreciatively:

"Black Gold City remains stable, no amount of rebellion outside is a big deal, and besides, I know that the Obsidian Council has already taken action."

"The advance team has been sent, and with a master blacksmith team leading the team, it will definitely be able to suppress the rebellion."
