"Huh?" was said by Seattle, Liu Ergou was even more confused. "Where am I stupid? Wait...... Listen to what you mean, do you know what's going on? ”

"I know", Seattle smiled again, but before Liu Ergou could ask, Seattle said again:

"It's because I know that I don't want to tell you about this idiot."

After saying that, Seattle and Hoffman turned around and left, leaving Liu Ergou alone in the wind. After standing for a while, Liu Ergou was still puzzled.

And what made him even more depressed was that both Bufax and Elanster all looked at Liu Ergou with idiot eyes, and naturally didn't give him any answers.

Even Avril Lavigne, as soon as Liu Ergou said this question, Avril suddenly blushed, glared at Liu Ergou viciously, and ran away directly!

I'm afraid I really offended Drith somewhere, right? Thinking like this, Liu Ergou didn't dare to ask Tufaen.

In case this tiger is angry and decides to loosen his muscles or something, Liu Ergou thinks that he may not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, although she didn't figure it out, Drise's attitude towards herself has not changed, and she still discusses various issues with herself as usual every day, and also makes up for her lessons by the way.

So as soon as Liu Ergou got busy, he put this matter behind him.

In the past few days, Liu Ergou has also studied the recycling of slag.

After returning from the ruins, Liu Ergou also thought about making use of the things inside. Leaving aside the delicate instruments, the shelves and boxes in the storage area alone are enough to be made into good tools or equipment.

For this reason, Liu Ergou even took people to the ruins again, took all kinds of things, and prepared to take them back for study. Even the slag of the experimental hall and the remains of the abandoned puppets, he took some back.

However, after a round of research, Liu Ergou regretfully found that everything except slag, not to mention research, even took a sample!

This is really the primitive man meets the Zenith Star Technology, and it took a lot of effort for Hammer to barely scrape a pinch of powder off the shelf. And burning in the smelting furnace for a whole day only makes the powder shine a little.

The same goes for everything else. Only the pile of slag, which seems to have changed its properties due to the dissociation of the shield, has become very easy to process.

However, in this way, the slag loses its original strength and becomes a metal with good ductility. The melting point seems to have decreased, and with the current melting furnace, it is barely able to process.

At this moment, a piece of metal cake in front of Liu Ergou and a roll of metal wire next to it are the products of secondary processing of this slag.

"Boss, what's the use of this cake and this plate of thread?" Bufax looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any doorways.

"This is not a cake" Liu Ergou pointed to the things on the table, "This is what I told you before, in the future, the currency issued by our Beiyuan City is money." ”

"Go back and design a pattern, and then go to this coin..... It's just a small round cake, and if you print it on both sides of this coin, you can use it as money. ”

"Money?" Bufax looked at the coins on the table again, "But we don't have any merchants or shops, so where are we going to spend our money?" ”

"I'll use it later, let's build it first." Liu Ergou waved his hand, then pointed to the coil of metal wire and said, "As for this...... I didn't think about what I could do. It's not strong enough to be used as a rope, but it's soft. ”

However, Elantster took a closer look and asked Liu Ergou, "What is the nature of this thing's demonic guide?" ”

When Liu Ergou heard this, he picked up the metal wire, put it in his hand and sensed it a little, and then said to Elanster: "It's okay, it's worse than that batch of guide rails, but at least it's stronger than ordinary materials." ”

Ellanst nodded, and then said, "In my opinion, this thing may be used as a magic array." ”

During his last exploration of the Sunset Mountains, Ellanster discovered that simply carving a mana circuit into the demonic substrate would be vulnerable to harsh environments.

For example, when the wind and sand are large, the sand and dust can easily fill into the nicks, causing the magic circuit to be blocked; The magic array of magic cloth woven with magic pattern thread is very difficult to process, and it is also easy to damage.

After listening to Liu Ergou's description of the experimental hall and the recycling center, Ellanster has been developing the engraved magic array during this time, but due to the limitations of materials, the results are not very significant.

Listening to Erlanster's thoughts, Liu Ergou also nodded. The method proposed by Elanster is very similar to the inlay of gold on earth. If this line of thought is followed, then this coil of wire does make a big difference.

After thinking about it, Liu Ergou decided to walk on two legs, recovering the slag while studying the use. But in this way, I have to go to the ruins again, and I have to dig up all the slag anyway.

In addition, Liu Ergou glanced at the coins on the table. You'll have to find a way to polish the surface of this thing, or it's too dazzling.

......

The same setting sun shone across the continent, but it could not penetrate the shadow of Desros in any way.

Two hundred and ten years ago, the Mines of Tyros were the source of the largest oraldine in the province of Euin and even in the entire Empire, and the source of the Orekalx, the treasure of the alchemists after Mithril.

At its peak, there were as many as 30,000 slaves digging in the mines, day and night. It is said that due to the fact that there are so many lights used at night, its sky-high light is clearly visible from tens of kilometers away.

The orichalcum mines were often surrounded by large quantities of hard granite, and these slaves dug day after day, with their own hands and rudimentary tools, in order to obtain a small piece of oralcum the size of an eyeball from the huge rock that could easily be hundreds of tons, in exchange for their rations today.

The bodies of countless slaves who died of starvation, exhaustion, disease, or death from falling rocks and the hands of the overseer's whip were buried in the cornfields outside the pit to become fertilizer for the other living slaves.

Therefore, in the unofficial records, the mountain copper mine has another nickname: blood and tear stone.

Legend has it that every eyeball-shaped ghalcose mine will shed a drop of blood and tears on a moonless night. This tear of blood is the soul of the slaves who died in the pit.

As the mines were depleted, slave owners and overseers evacuated, leaving tens of thousands of sick and weak slaves to fend for themselves.

In order to survive, the slaves used waste materials to build large and small dilapidated houses in the mines; At the same time, he struggled to dig down, in order to find some leaked mountain copper mines, so that he could get rich overnight and leave this bottomless pit.

It's just that there are tens of thousands of slaves, but there are very few mountain copper mines. So even if a lucky person is really lucky, it will immediately lead to a bloody storm.

This is not counting the thieves who also have the intention of picking up leaks, the adventurers who follow the clues of the ancient ruins to explore, and the fugitives who wander the world.....

Over time, more than 100 years have passed, and it has become a notorious capital of criminal karma. In the Bottom Ross Mine, where the sun never shines, hundreds of dirty deeds are carried out every day.

It is the cradle of conspirators, a paradise for the lawless, a trading market for the flesh and blood of the victims, and the best refuge for some people of special origin.

The goal of Tobias' trip is in this huge shelter. In Tyros, the capital of sinful karma, it is very difficult to find a specific person.

The reason is obvious, except for a very small number of fools who still have fantasies about getting rich overnight, the people who can come here and live safely are all the best in the dark world.

Destus is like a great sieve, and for these people it is heaven; And for the poor dust that was sifted out, Tyros was the hell that devoured them.

Every day, in every alley, in every cavern, and sometimes even in front of the public, new victims appeared.

And the cornfield outside the pit is still thriving. It's just that the fertilizer that nourishes them has changed from a single slave to all kinds of dregs.

In such a place, to find someone who deliberately and has enough strength to hide himself is tantamount to finding a black cat in a coal pile at midnight.

Even people like Tobias are hardly willing to do that.

This time, though, he wasn't looking for "one" Hidden One, but just "that" Hidden One.

In Desros, the most common attire was a wide burqa with a hood. Whether it's the body shape, or the weapons you carry with you, a burqa can hide them well.

And under every hood that hides the face, there must be a pair of eyes that are prying around.

At this moment, Tobias strolled into a bar in this attire.

It's a bar, but it's actually just a slightly larger shack.

Naturally, there are no comfortable seats, or sweet wine, and you can't even see the wandering warblers that can be seen everywhere outside.

All that is there is a long table made of rocks and wooden planks, and a muddy but very strong, almost alcoholic "liquor".

As for the warbler? In such a place, there are only two kinds of bed-to-bed pleasures, one in which the victor enjoys his prey, and the other in which the prey falls into the spider's web.

Tobias also found a random place to sit down, and pulled out a gold coin and placed it on the crumbling table. Then he pulled out a rough cup carved out of wood.

In the bars of Deros, alcohol must be harmless, that's the rule here. But if you die from the poison in the cup, you can only blame yourself for being stupid.

After a while, a bartender, also shrouded in a burqa, came up to him and took the gold coin with his hand. Immediately, the bartender pulled out another leather bag of unknown material and filled Tobias's cup with a yellow, cloudy liquid.

Tobias picked up his glass and drank it without pause, almost as fuel!

The bartender on the side also paused, and even in this outlaw crowd of Deros, there are not many people who can make a whole glass.

As if he had no end in his life, Tobias pulled out another gold coin and threw it on the table.

The bartender still touched the gold coins and filled him with a glass.

It's all in one gulp again!

When Tobias pulled out the gold coin for the third time and placed it on the table, he could already feel the prying eyes coming from under the many hoods beside him.

Only this time, as if he had finally lost his strength, Tobias slipped his hand and dropped a small leather bag on the ground.

"Boom!"

This inconspicuous little leather bag actually smashed on the floor with a sound like a loud bell!

It doesn't take much ear power, almost anyone can hear what the clanging metal in the bag represents.

Tobias staggered as if nothing had happened, picked up the pouch and stuffed it back into his robe, and drank it from his glass.

After the third drink, Tobias hiccuped, staggered out of his seat, and headed for the door.

Just as he was about to reach the door, a man of somewhat short stature, or rather, a smaller burqa, walked past him.

The two passed by in the narrow aisle, and there was inevitably a bit of a collision.

In this moment!

A cold light, almost like lightning piercing the clouds, instantly illuminated the entire dimly lit bar!

It was Tobias's dagger.

The moment the cold light flashed, the eyes of several staring at this place were like thorns in the middle, and they were all so uncomfortable that their eyes were blurred with tears!

And as the cold light flashed, the short burqa in front of him also split in two, revealing the frightened face inside, as well as a small leather bag that was somewhat familiar.

Tobias's Leather Bag.

As if doing something insignificant, Tobias picked up the pouch and stuffed it back into his burqa.

Then, he dragged the corpse out of the ground, and out of nowhere he found three iron rods, nailed the corpse to the ground!

One on the left and two on the right.

Most of the attention was quickly retracted, it was a naked demonstration, and it was very effective.

Only a few glances lingered on the three iron rods for a moment, as if they remembered something.

Tobias staggered out of the place, unaware of it.

Only this time, no one thinks it's a drunkard who takes advantage of it.

......

Night...... Actually, it doesn't make a difference, anyway, the sun never shines on the land of Tyros, there are only lights that flicker on and off.

In a shack, Tobias was sitting cross-legged on a blanket.

The owner of the shack may not have returned, or may be dead. It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you have the ability to get into the house, then no matter who is in the house, it is almost equivalent to a dead person.

Tobias sat motionless, like a sculpture.

A small oil lamp is the only source of light here.

A cold wind blew by, and suddenly the lamp, which was not very bright, swayed, and the whole room flickered with the flickering flames.

By the time the flames had finally stabilized, there was one more person on the other side of Tobias.

"You're here, Burning Steel." The voice was as cold as ever, just like his snake face that had not changed for thousands of years.

"I said, I'm not called that anymore"

Contrary to Tobias, the sound coming from the lower side of the burqa sounded more like a roaring furnace.

"Wake up, Burning Steel." The cold voice didn't seem to have taken a little warmth with it because of the appearance of this furnace.

"Don't make me repeat it, Snake Eyes!" In the furnace, there are already sparks bursting out!

"This is the command of the interpreter."

The blazing stove was like a basin of ice water had been poured on it, and all that was left was a little ash.

"The commands of the interpreters, thou shalt know, what that means."

Another basin of ice water will ruthlessly extinguish this last ember.

The lights flickered slowly in silence, as if they were trembling for the coming storm.

It had been almost a million years before a bitter echo could be heard in the already silent furnace

"Command...... What is it?"
