"Nuggets?"

Both Welling and Shounomiya saw the surprise on each other's faces.

Based on their experience in Iasi, the current human exploration and utilization of mineral deposits in the mantle layer has basically realized the unlimited demand for various minerals, and there is no need to use traditional methods to mine for gold.

The two walked up to the black-robed warlock and looked at each other:

"You're recruiting partners?"

When the black-robed warlock saw Wei Ling guarding the palace coming, he was naturally looking at the two of them, at least Wei Ling's appearance as a Great Xia person would not make him too cautious:

"Yes, are you interested?"

"I have some interest, but I don't understand it too much, and I don't know what gold to dig for?"

Seeing that Welling didn't even know the basic situation of the nuggets, the young black-robed warlock hesitated:

"Are you a citizen of the Empire? Don't you know about pangolins? ”

Welling was a little confused:

"Of course I'm a citizen of the Empire, both of us are, what is a pangolin?

Is a pangolin a warlock? ”

The black-robed warlock could confirm that Wei Ling and Shougong were both laymen, and he patiently explained:

"That's right, pangolin warriors are mainly a profession that is mainly looking for more valuable mineral deposits and gold diggers, and the practitioners are mainly earth spirit magicians."

"Oh, that's right, isn't the empire developing the mantle deposits on a large scale, why are you still risking what you are doing on the surface?"

The black-robed warlock couldn't cry or laugh, if it weren't for the sake of Wei Ling and the warlocks who guarded the palace were the warlocks of the empire, it was estimated that they would have been ignored a long time ago:

"Nuggets refer to the excavation of T205 metal, which is only available on the surface, do you know T205 metal?"

Wei Ling suddenly realized, and Li Lingyou and Li Kongqing also discussed what the Revenant does, isn't it just to find this so-called divine metal.

So, Welling took out a small bottle from his arms, and there were still a few small bottles left for Nanxing and the others that day.

Even this golden liquid, even through the plastic vial, suddenly dazzled the eyes of the black-robed warlock and the "square" Xixuanren.

"Is that it?"

Welling asked with a smile.

The black-robed warlock was immediately attracted by the vial in Welling's hand, and he cautiously looked left and right, and saw that there were no suspicious persons, so he hurriedly threw out the information packet:

"Brother, put it away, you're too dangerous...... At present, the Revenants of the Federation are crazy about T205 metal, and they do not hesitate to kill people to get more than they can buy. ”

Welling thought for a moment and knew that the reason for this was probably the Treaty of Pat.

The Empire demanded the huge amount of T205 metal compensation, causing the Federation to be desperately needed and scarce for this material.

Seeing that Welling put away the vial, the black-robed warlock breathed a sigh of relief:

"Brother Tai, for the sake of all the citizens of the empire, to put it simply, you really have no experience in the rivers and lakes, and your wealth is not exposed, you don't know this truth?"

Welling and Shougong laughed dumbly, looking at the two of them's eager expressions for vials of metal, most of them were also the ones who wanted money and didn't want to die:

"Well, it's a bit careless, we haven't walked much...... Well, the rivers and lakes...... I didn't pay much attention to this problem, but the two of us are relatively good at fighting among our peers of the same level, so we are not afraid. ”

Wei Ling felt a sense of disobedience in his heart, what age is it, it is the era of divine enlightenment, and what are the "rivers and lakes" in ancient times.

Seeing that Wei Ling and Shougong were very modest in acknowledging their advice, and frankly admitting that they were more capable of fighting, the black-robed warlock's interest suddenly rose a little:

"Let me introduce myself first, I am Xiao Duhuo, from the Lanling Xiao clan of the empire, but I am no longer a member of the Lanling Xiao clan, I gave up my family, and I am considered a poor man."

Hey, I met another kid from a family who gave up his family!

Welling couldn't help but be a little wary:

"I am Welling, a citizen of the Empire, a wise warlock, a palace maiden, a gladiator, and my follower companion."

Shougong glanced at Welling and reintroduced:

"Brother Duhuo, I am the palace guard, and I am the maid of Welling."

Xiao Duhuo smiled, and seemed to have a deep understanding of Shougong's disagreement with the "follower and partner" relationship in Wei Ling's mouth, and he pointed to the Xixuan dwarf beside him:

"Well, this one, he's Mangcao, my subordinate."

The dwarf with a round head and a round face and a round nose like a round ball snorted hard, and a circle of red whiskers around the round face trembled with it, and the small sparkling eyes stared at Welling:

"I am the personal property of the adults, and I and several other brothers are reformers.

But the adults treat us as human beings, and we swear allegiance to them...... Lord Welling, your metal is of high purity, and you are very professional! ”

As soon as he heard the words "transforming people", Welling immediately became interested.

He looked around, and although there were not many people, it was not an idea to stand on the side of the street and communicate like this:

"Brother Duhuo, if it's convenient, let's go to this tavern, and I invite the two of you to have a drink?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey, Brother Welling, please!"

Xiao Duhuo happily agreed.

Several people walked into the tavern.

At this time, before the time of the tavern to pick up customers, the whole tavern was empty.

Rows of wine tables made of rough logs are flooded with sunlight pouring in from the windows.

The scruffy tavern owner was napping on his stomach behind the counter, startled by the slight footsteps of the four men walking in, and raised his hazy eyes to look at several people.

"Boss, here for four glasses of ale."

Xiao Duhuo threw out the message, walked to the window facing the street with Wei Ling and the others and sat down.

In a moment, four large cups of yellow and clear ale were served, and the hops were delicate and dense, shining brightly.

"Brother Duhuo, let's ask a little digression first, what's the matter with transforming people?"

Welling asked him directly about something he was interested in.

Xiao Duhuo didn't hide it, and directly threw over a message:

"Are you interested in the origin of the transformer? Very simple!

After the Great Annihilation, the Western Xuan Federation has always been lower than the empire because of their warlock activation ratio, so they started from genetic modification, hoping to cultivate powerful warriors to offset the lack of strength to confront the empire.

Their direction of genetic modification is different from the genetic optimization and telomere enhancement of the empire, it is completely violent transformation, directly creating a lot of human-like and inhuman monsters, most of these monsters are mentally deficient, and they are not considered normal people until the finished product of the third generation.

Haha, I can tell you about the other mangcao, this is something that many people know about in the interior of the Xixuan Federation, but in the empire, not many people know about it. ”

This topic obviously makes Mancao a little sad.

He took a sip of his wine, closed his eyes comfortably, savored the taste, and threw a bag to the trio.

"We are the third generation of modified people, and we are also the failure of the federal genetic biological modification program, and we are sold as goods......"

Along with Mancao's information, the three of them all had some terrifying image memories in their minds.

Giants with pus-dripping pus, gnomes with arms all over their bodies, tall and thin with two heads, countless female humanoids who only know their instincts for peace, humanoids who can only crawl with their hands and feet as their skin color changes with the environment, and even humanoids with anti-joints.

Most of these beings only live for a few years before dying, some of them died of sudden genetic disintegration, some of them were killed after going berserk, and some of them died of inexplicable illness.

In the chaotic period after the Great Annihilation, the scientific research institutions of the Federation can be regarded as completely unleashing their minds, abandoning the basic bottom line of human beings, and making all kinds of outrageous experiments, completely unbound by the concept of human ethics and morality.

But it wasn't until the third generation that their project finally made fundamental progress, stumbling to breed a modified human like Manggrass, with a stable and heritable genetic combination, and corresponding abilities and traits, but this was still far from meeting the needs of the Federation.

In order to raise resources, the corresponding agencies of the Federation sell these failed products in the name of slaves or intelligent humanoid devices in some secret special channels.

The characteristics of Mangcao are actually quite simple, sensible (with a certain mind), obedient (high obedience), and capable (infinite strength).

"Then do they have the fourth or fifth generation of transformers?"

Welling held back the discomfort in his heart and asked.

"We don't know about this kind of high-level thing, after all, we are just pangolins, and we have bought a few scrap products that they thought they thought."

Xiao Duhuo was also a little gloomy:

"The four of them are actually very good people."

After receiving Xiao Duhuo's evaluation, Mancao took another sip of wine, his round eyes turned red, and his red beard was stained with wine.

People who can be respected by adults and are considered to be equal personalities, even if they die for adults, he has no regrets in his heart.

Welling and Shougong had actually scanned the grass with their own methods.

In their opinion, this is actually just an ordinary mutant, but the ability is reflected in physical fitness, not a warlock ability.

Welling throws the question:

"Well, you can tell that Mangcao is a good person.

Brother Duhuo, why do you need to recruit people, isn't it enough for you to dig up on your own?

I remember, isn't T205 metal all cohesive, and will it accumulate on those scrap metals? ”

In response to Welling's question, Xiao Duhuo nodded:

"In the general direction, Brother Welling is right, but think about it, if there is no carrier for T205 metal to gather in the endless Gobi and desert, what will happen to those metals?"

Welling thought to himself:

"It will gather on its own, become a clump, and then accumulate more and more in the low-lying shallow underground."

Xiao Duhuo applauded lightly:

"Brother Welling is so smart, the profession of a pangolin is mainly to do this, looking for a gathering of divine metals. The beautiful name is Pangolin, which sounds good, damn it, it's actually a miner.

Otherwise, the Empire's demand for T205 metal is so large, and there is no mechanism for the Revenant in the Western Xuan World, how can it obtain these resources? ”

Welling Shougong immediately understood the key and was a little excited:

"Therefore, only a warlock with the Earth Spirit attribute can potentially unearth these resources."

Xiao Duhuo nodded:

"Not necessarily, Earth Soul Sorcerers are just relatively easy.

But this profession is very risky and hard, and the average warlock, who wants to do it?

Spend most of your time in the wilderness, where mutant beasts, vipers, and wilderness hunters can become formidable enemies at any time.

This hard work has led to the fact that only the earth spirit warlocks of the poor family will do this thing for a long time, but if you are lucky, you can get a great reward. ”

Welling strongly agrees with Xiao Duhuo's message:

"Yes, it's hard enough, it's lonely, and it's dangerous.

Since Brother Duhuo is a member of the Lanling Xiao clan, why did he abandon his identity as a family member to do this? ”

Xiao Duhuo's face flashed with pain, but he did not reply to this message:

"If you don't mention the past, it's your own choice......

In my life, I must establish my own family, haha, Brother Welling and the girl who guards the palace, do you have any thoughts of joining the family? ”

Welling hesitated, but told the truth:

"This ...... The two of us are kind of peripheral personnel of Li Valve. ”

Xiao Duhuo was a little disappointed:

"Oh, I'll just say, I feel that Brother Welling has a lot of potential, no wonder, no wonder, Li Valve can look up to someone.

It's a pity, but this doesn't affect our cooperation, Li Valve's reputation is not bad, although everyone knows that Li Valve is fierce, unreasonable and uneducated, but he pays attention to things and has a bottom line. ”

Wei Ling and Shougong looked at each other and smiled, I really don't know how Li Kongqing and Li Lingyou felt about Xiao Duhuo's evaluation.

For Xiao Duhuo's heart to build his own door valve, Welling is also interested:

"So, how far is Brother Duhuo from establishing his own gate valve?"

Xiao Duhuo laughed:

"Haha, don't talk about the gate valve family, it's just a big family, it's just my pipe dream! If I can become a super-top warlock in the future, with dozens of mid-to-high-level Hakka and hundreds of junior warlocks, and reach the forefront of the empire in the pangolin industry, then I can be regarded as an independent big family.

When I give birth to dozens of children and expand the size of my family to my grandson and great-grandchildren, it is estimated that it will be the prototype of a new family.

If you can maintain this status and influence after a hundred years, it will be considered a success. ”

Welling secretly stammered:

"So troublesome, so hard! What's the point of establishing a gate valve family? ”

"If you want to talk about meaning, it's actually not meaningful, anyway, it's going to die, and in the end, the gate valve family will also die, all of this is meaningless, it's just that I'm fighting for breath while I'm alive."

Shougong's view of Xiao Duhuo has some appreciation:

"Brother Duhuo is very sober and very sensible, the situation is as difficult as you said, maybe failure is inevitable, success is just accidental.

After all, the family of gate valves is not ordained by anyone, nor is it rewarded by anyone, but recognized by the world. ”

"Thank you for your positive comments. When I was alive, I had to give myself a goal, otherwise, I would have begged for death a long time ago. ”

Both Wei Ling and Shougong can see that Xiao Duhuo must have a lot of resentment towards the Lanling Xiao family, otherwise he would not have left the family and tried to build his own family.

But since he didn't say the reason, he didn't take the initiative to inquire.

Welling even had a guess that the name "Duhuo" might not have been his original name.

People who live alone may live alone.

But those who have dreams will definitely live a more exciting life.
