Chapter 68: The White-Haired Old Man
Chapter 68: The White-Haired Old Man
Walking through the underground passage, there will occasionally be a wide alloy gate on the surrounding stone wall, after this gate, it should be the room where the soldiers of the 314th Legion live, there will be two soldiers standing on both sides of the passage every tens of meters, and I saw a strong man carrying a hammer, all with his right fist on his chest, and lowered his head, which is the military salute of the Blood Knife Army.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chu Jiang and the others came to the door of the room where the legion commander Xing Lang lived, and the door in front of him was obviously different from other gates in terms of size and metal, which made Chu Jiang a little stunned, and the metal used to make this gate seemed to be refined iron ore.
10,000 catties of ordinary iron ore, can be refined into about a catty of refined iron ore, the value of this refined iron ore, more expensive than gold, of course, now gold is not worth much, after all, the development of so many barren planets, mined a lot of rare metals, the status of gold has now fallen again and again, it is not a good thing, maybe you walk on the street, a child drives a toy car is made of pure gold.
Refined iron ore is a more precious metal, if it is to be artificially refined, it does not know how much manpower and financial resources will be consumed, in some lifeless planets, it is pure in natural iron ore, for example, this Yellowstone Star.
Seeing the refined iron ore, Chu Jiang immediately thought of the equipment of the hero space, for those equipment, he has been coveting it for a long time, but one is that he has no money, and the other is that he can't find the rare metals he needs, so he has not been able to refine it, and now he has more than 700 million Huaxia coins on his card, if he finds another fifty catties of refined iron ore, he can create a big sword.
Although it is just an ordinary big sword, according to the introduction in the hero space, this big sword, whether it is attack power or hardness, is already equivalent to a C-level weapon, you know, even an ordinary gold-level warrior may not be able to use a C-level weapon, which shows the preciousness of a C-level weapon.
Of course, what made Chu Jiang most excited was that once he created a big sword, he could further create more advanced equipment, such as the Vampire Scepter, and after having the Vampire Scepter, he could go to create a vampire scimitar, and with the Vampire Scimitar, he was only one step away from the god-level weapon, the Blade of the Ruined King.
Of course, these are just thoughts, and now as long as he can build a great sword, it will be a great surprise for him.
So, refined iron ore, he needs it very much.
Just when Chu Jiang stared at the gate made of refined iron ore and his eyes lit up, the door had slowly opened, and it was a very wide hall inside, at this time, there were many people in the hall, about a dozen, and the big man with a hammer said loudly to Chu Jiang and the others:
"Here, you guys go first, I'll report to the legion commander, he'll be there in a moment. ”
Then, he looked at the middle-aged uncle, "Don't you want to see the corps commander, come with me." ”
With that, he took the lead in walking towards the depths of the underground passage.
The middle-aged uncle and Chu Jiang glanced at each other, gave Chu Jiang a reassuring look, and then followed straight up.
Chu Jiang looked at the uncle's back, slightly worried, although it was a meeting in Pingshui, and he even forgot to ask his name, but after experiencing a series of things, he was not only grateful to the uncle, but also a little more cordial.
Stepping into the hall, more than a dozen people inside shifted their eyes to Chu Jiang and the three of them, and seeing these people, Chu Jiang found that all the people in the hall had a common characteristic, being young.
The oldest of them is estimated to be in their twenties, and the youngest is even twelve or thirteen years old.
More than a dozen people were divided into several small groups, staying in the wide hall, looking at each other vigilantly, no one spoke loudly, Chu Jiang and the two young people who came with him naturally became a group, they walked to a corner and got to know each other, the young man in a black windbreaker, named Bai Yi, belonged to the type of few words, and the other young man was carrying an iron chain on his body, called Hu Ze, everyone was not familiar with it, so he just introduced his name, and the others didn't ask each other much.
Chu Jiang looked around the situation in the hall, and his eyes suddenly stopped on a long-haired old man leaning against a stone pillar, this old man was wearing a brown robe, his white hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and he was holding a wine jug in his hand, and kept pouring it into his mouth, Chu Jiang's nose wrinkled, and then walked over unconsciously.
When I walked in, I found that the old man was still very young, almost forty years old, but his white hair made him look old.
"Brother, doesn't this wine taste good?" Chu Jiang stared at the wine jug in the old man's hand, and couldn't help licking his lips, he could smell that the wine in the old man's hand was not any kind of wine made in modern times, but it was like the old white dry hundreds of years ago, and the aroma of the wine was very strong.
He is not a person who is addicted to alcohol, but for things hundreds of years ago, there is always a special feeling, after coming to this shijie, the wine is drunk a lot, but it is not as good as before, at this time, the wine jug in the old man's hand, the smell of wine exuded immediately attracted him.
The old man glanced at him through his white hair, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded:
"What, want to taste it?"
"Hey, hey. Chu Jiang scratched his scalp and looked quite embarrassed.
The old man was also refreshed, so he threw the flask over and said, "Remember to leave some for me." ”
Chu Jiang nodded again and again, then put the mouth of the pot to the side of his nose and sniffed it, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, this is indeed that kind of familiar taste, poured it into his mouth, the spicy wine smell was like a flame, and it went straight to his head, this feeling reminded Chu Jiang of the scene when he drank with his dormitory buddies for the first time in college.
"I can't see it, you kid is also a person with a story. The old man watched Chu Jiang's every move, and couldn't help but speak at this time.
Chu Jiang was slightly stunned, and then smiled, who doesn't have a story in his heart, it's just that his story is more incredible.
"How old is the kid?" The old man sat cross-legged on the ground casually, brushed the hair in front of him, and asked lightly towards Chu Jiang.
"It's seventeen after Hanukkah. Chu Jiang replied truthfully.
"Seventeen...... Seventeen. The old man muttered in a low voice twice, and then, his eyes became a little erratic, and Chu Jiang read a sadness and a vicissitudes from his face.
"Who are there in the house?" the old man asked again, taking a sip of his wine.
Chu Jiang was stunned, he didn't know whether to tell the truth or hide it, he somehow, in the face of this old man, he couldn't bear to tell a lie, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and told the truth.
"There are grandparents, parents and two brothers. ”
The old man nodded and continued:
"You just got here, right? To survive the death cage should be good. ”
"It's just here, the strength is average, it's mainly luck. Chu Jiang said, this time to be able to survive the fight of tens of thousands of people, there is indeed a bit of luck in it, if he hadn't met the uncle, he might have really been planted here, of course, this is also the reason why he is unlucky, who knows that the perverted old man just found him.
"Yes, you're good. The old man stood up suddenly, patted him on the shoulder, and walked straight outside.
At this time, a tall man with a few subordinates was coming from the door, this person was Xing Lang, seeing the white-haired old man, he hurriedly greeted him, the old man waved his hand to signal that he should not care about him, and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this scene, Chu Jiang was slightly stunned, it seems that this old man is still an amazing character, even a person in a high position like Xing Lang has to be so respectful to him.
After Xing Lang entered the hall, he said loudly to the people inside:
"My name, I think you all already know, I am the commander of the 314th Legion, here, there are nearly 100,000 brothers, there are more than a dozen large interstellar warships, maybe in your eyes, the country's Liliang is above all else, but I tell you, my Blood Knife Army, there are great Blood Sword Kings, there are tens of millions of powerful warriors, even in the face of the Federation, I am not afraid, with your strength, in the Federation, you may only be an ordinary citizen for the rest of your life, but in my Blood Knife Army, you may become a general, and even a legion leader like me, as long as you are strong enough, even if you become a powerful military master, and it's not impossible. ”
The sonorous voice continued to echo in the hall, and also echoed in everyone's hearts, at this moment, although not everyone was enthusiastic, but, more or less, there was some excitement, everyone has ambitions, everyone wants to become a human being, and even more so these young people who can be regarded as geniuses present, they are in the Federation, and it is true that they cannot be deliberate in wanting to get ahead, but here, they may really be able to show their ambitions.
Looking at the people who were gradually getting a little moved, Xing Lang nodded slightly, and then said:
"You are the most prominent talents in the recent batch of newcomers, so you have a higher starting point than others, in the next period of time, I will arrange a hellish training for you, after the training, you will be given the corresponding position, the level of the position, to determine the final training results, here, power and status, and your strength is directly linked, so, if you want to be in a high position, if you want to get the right, then train hard and become a strong man. ”
"Of course, since it is called hellish training, death and injury are inevitable, and you can choose not to participate. ”
After listening to him, everyone present pondered, hellish training, it's not a fun thing to listen to, if you participate, you may die, but if you don't participate, you will directly lose a higher starting point than others, to be the most ordinary soldier, maybe, when you are on a mission, you will die accidentally, danger, everywhere.
After thinking for a moment, almost all of them chose to participate, only one or two people chose to quit, and the two who quit were taken out.
"Alright, now that you've all made your decision, let's follow him and enter your training base. Looking at the remaining dozen people, Xing Lang pointed to the thin man beside him and said lightly.
The thin man showed a very weird smile to everyone, and then led everyone to the outside, and everyone saw this guy's smile, and everyone had a premonition in their hearts.
At this moment, a soldier ran to Xing Lang's side and whispered a few words, Xing Lang raised his eyebrows, and then stopped everyone.
"The kid in the dark black suit stays, and the others can go. ”
