Chapter 192: Darkness
"Huh? Wasn't Fermu the home of that old boy in Devenston? Ran Gang couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Regarding the fact that Ran Gang called his master "old boy", Marven only dared to slander in his heart, who knows where this leopard came from? Maybe it's a friend of the old man!
"To tell you the truth, our Fermu family has indeed obtained the title of earl in the lord's generation, and the lord is indeed very good at doing business, and he keeps the family and trade lines in order."
"But the old man only does business, and he has no culture. And our Fermu family is the main ...... The various potions that were the main ones back then, as well as the exquisite alchemy products, were actually from the hands of the eldest lady! ”
Burning Steel nodded. If that's the case, then Drith is indeed the most deserved.
"My lord" Marven asked Ran Gang again, "Please forgive the villain, why did you come to save us, my lord?" ”
"This ......" Marven thought for a while, and casually made up: "In my early years, I had a relationship with Devenston, and I also received some favors from him. ”
"After the incident in your family, I heard that your eldest lady took some people to defect to a lord named Liu Ergou in the Northern Plains. I thought I might as well send you back together, so I rescued you. ”
"Is this true?" Marven's eyes suddenly lit up with hope! The chaos before didn't allow him to think too much, but after thinking about it carefully, he always felt that Burning Steel was deceiving people.
"What am I lying to you for?" Ran Gang glared at Marven, and suddenly he shrunk his neck. "If I hadn't inquired clearly, why did I bring you here here? It's not easy to kill you? As for Fei so much? ”
Marven was stunned by the burning steel, and he accepted his statement suspiciously.
Ay! I didn't lie to you, I really brought you to find Dries and Liu Ergou! Ran Gang secretly comforted himself in his heart.
I just said two lies in terms of motivation, and the result was the same anyway.
"That's it! Don't be fooled around! Hurry up and rest, we have to go tomorrow! He patted Marven again, Ran Gang stood up, patted his buttocks, and walked back to his bed. After a long journey through this wasteland with such a large group of people, Burning Steel found that it was far more difficult than he thought.
No matter which direction you look, all you can see is a large area of cracked loess or the Gobi Desert covered with dust and sand.
The dim yellow color was like a fog so thick that it could not be dispersed, and it always hung around the burning steel, dyeing everything he saw the same color.
Whether it's a scattered dead tree, a lonely boulder, or a rolling hill in the distance...... Without exception, they all carry this mouth-drying color.
The muddy and stinking reeds on the banks of the river, which had made the burning steel curse, were heaven in comparison to the wasteland.
Fortunately, thanks to the wheelbarrows that Marven rushed out before departure, the Burning Steel group still had plenty of water and food. Although it is a little nervous to use, it is still barely applied.
The real problem lies in the low temperatures at night.
Except for the "big man" of Burning Steel, the other slaves are all in a state of unclothed clothes without exception.
The Fermu slaves were lucky. Fearing the wrath of Tobias, Lenduri dressed the slaves in decent clothes before he set out, and now he could barely get through it.
The other slaves were not treated so well. The vast majority of slaves only had shirts and shorts made of linen, and even some of the most stingy slave owners were reluctant to give them shirts.
So after nightfall, the slaves suffered from the cold.
In the wasteland, everything but sand is scarce, and vegetation is even more so. As the group progressed deeper into the wasteland, it became more difficult to obtain fuel.
By the end of a few nights, half of the slaves had fallen ill from the cold.
Since Ran Gang is not a nanny, he is naturally not a doctor. He's a killer who kills people, not lives.
All he could do at the moment was to ask Marven to give more food and water to these sick slaves.
If this continues, sooner or later there will be a laggard.
And in this wasteland, once you lose contact with the big army, it means death.
Sitting around the campfire, which had been several laps smaller, Burning Steel looked at the slaves in the distance who were huddled together for warmth, and even a few people barely wearing a single dress, and his heart was already bored.
......
And at Easton Docks, which has long since returned to its former calm, Tobias also has a headache.
He did consider that it was likely that Burning Steel would not go according to his plan. In fact, whether it was the overly detailed information he provided, or the various arrangements made in advance for this matter, it can be seen that Tobias is actually acquiescing, and even covertly supporting Burning Steel's actions.
It's just that......
Looking at the mountain in front of him, which looked like it had been plowed by the Flame Explosion Technique, Tobias rubbed his forehead with a headache.
He really didn't expect that Burning Steel would do such a big vote!
Well, now almost the entire Dark World knows that a group of former Fermu slaves have escaped across the Santias River with something terrible.
This "incredible thing" may be a priceless treasure, or it may be an earth-shattering secret. But whatever it is, at least no one will look down on it for value.
After all, whether it was the batch of oralcum crystals released on the black market, or the rumored big customer who placed a deposit with the fire element crystal diamond, it was enough to prove that it was worth a lot.
And the scuffle that broke out inexplicably at Pier 3 strengthened many people's thoughts.
The Northland Wasteland, a place that has been forgotten for an unknown number of years, has now shaken off the dust on its body and is about to leap to the cusp.
As soon as he thought of this, Tobias scolded the idiot of Burning Steel in his heart!
Unlike those who still trudge through legends and lies, Tobias knows very well that there is something amazing about the Fermu family!
The reason why Assahid chose to attack Devenson and Drissy is that coveting the territory and trade routes of the Fermu family is only a small part, and more for that thing!
For that thing, Assahid had laid a secret and vast net a few years ago. Now in this critical period of closing, the idiot of Burning Steel has poked out the secret!
After scolding the burning steel from head to toe in his heart, Tobias came to the back of the hill in anger and looked at the rusty blade of the "beach" under his feet.
The life force of the blood ghost is indeed very tenacious! Under the double destruction of the Holy Silver Nail and the sun, Rusty Blade's body has long been dehumanized, and it is like a puddle of flesh.
But when Tobias arrived, the puddle of meat was still slowly wriggling, with the intention of gathering and forming.
Even in the rotten flesh full of maggots, there was a relatively intact eyeball that stared at Tobias for a while!
Once again, he scolded the muddy and watery way of doing things by burning steel. Tobias pulled a small crystal bottle out of his pocket and dripped a turquoise droplet onto the mud.
As soon as the droplets came into contact with the meat puree, a large amount of miserable green smoke suddenly came out! And when the smoke cleared, the original rotten flesh had long since melted without a trace, leaving only a regular hollow, and the flesh and blood that was still melting rapidly at the edge of the hollow.
Such a powerful corpse water, with only four or five drops, was enough to completely erase the last traces left by the rusty blade in this world.
However, Tobias only dropped a drop, then closed the lid and stuffed the crystal bottle back in his pocket.
In this way, this process is artificially prolonged several times. And the final pain of the rusty blade has been prolonged accordingly.
Tobias never knew mercy, and he would never have mercy on someone like Rustblade.
However, with a drop of corpse water, Tobias seemed to be in a much better mood, and calmly left this disgusting place with his hands behind his back.
......
Tobias was in a good mood, but Schwell's was in a terrible mood.
While soft and warm blankets were laid throughout the living room, the fireplace chopped wood also crackled cheerfully in the flames. But Schweil's face was even more piercing than the cold wind howling in the torrential rain outside the window.
