Chapter 621 Pocket watch components, possibility of complete restoration!
Simple stone house.
The wooden bed and wooden table are of impressive workmanship.
Various piles of miscellaneous items scattered around.
From any angle, it is impossible for these things to attract Somo's attention instantly and make him cry out in surprise.
But for now.
"This thing looks so familiar, I must have seen it somewhere before!"
After taking a few glances at the general shape of the object under the bed, I tried to use the system to identify it, but was prompted that the ownership of the object did not belong to me.
Somo put down the sheets and sat on the edge of the bed to think carefully.
In terms of value, this thing is definitely not high.
Otherwise, Feng Mengyue and others are not fools. No matter how courageous they are, they would not leave it here and risk being taken away at any time.
At the same time, it is also very impolite and extremely disrespectful to flip through items in other people's rooms without permission.
For the time being, Somo could only search for traces of this thing in his memory.
The appearance of this item is very simple. It is a small golden disc that looks very ordinary in workmanship, about one-sixth the size of a palm.
However, the erosion of time and years has covered the surface of the disk with a layer of rust, covering up the original dense patterns underneath.
Even the previously eye-catching golden color gradually turned into a bronze color, and finally became wrapped in black dirt.
"This pattern"
After ruling out that the shape of the disk itself looked familiar, Sumo quickly focused on the pattern.
And after looking at this, and comparing it with a few weird things in my memory, the answer seems to be coming out!
"Pocket watch!"
"The pattern on this thing is almost exactly the same as the pattern engraved on the outside of that pocket watch!"
In the secret-stealing talisman, Sumo carefully looked at the appearance of the old-fashioned pocket watch tied to the mysterious man's foot more than once.
Not talking about the internal parts, but talking about the appearance, patterns, and workmanship details, Sumo thought that he could remember it almost exactly.
At this time, I saw this familiar pattern again.
It's easy for the two to go together!
His eyes turned to the outside world.
The deserted Shanyue Territory in the past has finally become lively after a long absence!
The heavy snow that has sealed the mountain for several days has completely wiped out all traces of all human and animal traces in the thousands of miles of mountains.
Each territory is also blocked by the snow. Not only is there no way to communicate, but there is also no opportunity to exchange what is needed.
Unlike the depression, there is still a lot of domestic demand, which makes all villagers busy every day.
There is endless work to do and endless supplies to earn every day.
The economic structure of Shanyue Territory is very simple.
It's so simple that once an external economic giant comes in, it only needs to flick its tail and shake its body to defeat it easily.
First, their domestic demand has come to an end as early as after the completion of housing construction.
Because there are no scientific researchers and there is no threat of enemy invasion at any time, the technology tree in the entire territory is not so much promoted extremely slowly as it is not developed at all.
Almost everyone's energy is invested in how to research more powerful weapons. No one pays attention to people's livelihood and the basic needs of all refugees.
Secondly, because there are no enemies around.
After passing the tense early stage, not only did all the refugees gradually begin to lose their fighting spirit, but even the lord Feng Mengyue became somewhat complacent with the status quo.
Born in sorrow and died in happiness.
When more and more people want to work hard, they don’t know that they can develop naturally, and there is no way to start.
Thirdly, the terrain of the Shanyue territory limits the upper limit of the territory.
Unable to plant, there is no stable source of crop food, causing everyone to worry about how they will survive the intervening food shortage period after these supplies are used up.
Without minerals, the only thing that can be used is worthless mountain rocks, which have no trading value at all.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and caravans from outside will come here every one or two weeks when it doesn't snow. When it snows, there is no trace left.
These three points are like a bottleneck for the Shanyue Territory.
At this time, seeing people from outside coming over, it is not difficult to understand why they are so excited.
"Brother, there seems to be something wrong with this territory. Look at the eyes of these people."
"This lord is an acquaintance of our director. When you said we were leaving, if these people wanted to follow us, it would be a bit embarrassing for the director's face!"
Carrying the equipment, he sat on the stone pier used for resting at the entrance of Shanyue Village.
While Feng Long watched the refugees in the distance warily, he kept complaining to Feng Tianmin beside him.
If these people were looking curiously at outsiders, no one would be surprised.
After all, if a group of people suddenly came to their territory, all the villagers would react in the same way.
But this is where the blame lies.
After seeing all the soldiers, these refugees from Shanyue Village did not show curiosity, but undisguised enthusiasm!
Just like a treasure hunter sees a treasure, and a person who has been hungry for many days sees delicious food.
It makes people feel miserable.
"Shh, don't talk. No matter what these people think, it has nothing to do with us."
"As long as the director is good, just do your best. As for the rest, I wouldn't be surprised if this territory is annexed!"
He coughed lightly and looked at Feng Mengyue walking in the distance with a smile on his face.
Feng Tianmin quickly interrupted Feng Long's complaints, put on a simple and honest smile, and went up to him.
Even though they were far apart, the two of them greeted each other.
"Lord Shanyue is famous far and wide. When I saw him today, he was truly outstanding in his appearance. I am now a member of the Tianmin people and affiliated to the Tianyuan territory. Under the rule of Hope Village, the lord's escort team has been admired for a long time!"
"He is worthy of being a general under Su Shen. With Captain Feng's abilities, no one in my territory would give him a thumbs up. Come on, stop being polite to me!"
Facing Su Mo, Feng Mengyue behaved very openly.
When facing Feng Tianmin, she behaved extremely slickly.
Each with different thoughts, when they came closer, the two stepped forward and held hands tightly.
"Let's go, Captain Feng. I have arranged a banquet for you in the village, and your accommodation will be prepared for you later."
"It's a humble house, I hope you don't dislike it!"
Feng Tianmin quickly shook his head: "As expected of a good friend of the director of my family, Lord Feng, this is too polite. We people have been living in the snowy mountains and wild mountains these days. It would be great to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Got it!"
Both parties are interested in getting to know each other, and their conversations are naturally friendly.
After greeting the soldiers at the rear, the hundred-man escort stood up and began to follow Feng Mengyue toward the interior of the village.
"It's really good. Last time we came here, these people were so indifferent. They all had eyes on their heads and didn't even look at us."
"It's better now. Look at these snobbish looks. I guess if Lord Wind hadn't been there in front, these people would have rushed up and begged us, God Su, to take them away!"
The two Liu brothers, who were making trouble among the crowd, also enjoyed high-level treatment that they had never experienced before.
Looking sourly at the eager eyes of some of the women next to him, Liu Yao still complained sourly, even though his mouth was full of leaks.
Last time the two brothers came here with hundreds of people.
At first, everyone thought there was a dragon crossing the river, and they were welcomed in very kindly.
But later, after a brief encounter and found out that not only were they poor, but the people they brought were also unarmed refugees, the attitude of the villagers in Shanyue Village changed in an extremely "real" way.
Of course there is no food.
Want to buy? Yes!
You have to pay 120% of the supplies to purchase them, or take out other items of equal value to enjoy hot meals.
Accommodation, what do you want?
You can't live in these open spaces outside the village.
Even if you can afford the accommodation fee, the refugees in the village are still afraid that you will go in and tamper with it, destroying some of the hard-won wooden furniture inside.
In the end, even Feng Mengyue only met briefly and was persuaded to leave with excuses.
"Hmph, with the idiots they look like, God Su will never take them away."
He hummed, and although his words were filled with disdain, his eyes never left the faces of the surrounding refugees.
Sometimes, people's mentality changes quickly.
Even the two of them didn't notice it. I don't know when, but their previous thoughts of escaping had long since disappeared.
Follow the team and enter the village.
After sitting on the tables, chairs and benches that had already been placed in the central open space.
"I'll call Su Shen over!"
After saying hello, Feng Mengyue smiled and gave a few instructions, and her subordinates greeted her cordially and began to entertain them.
And she, with full expectations, walked towards the stone house where Soma was staying in the center.
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, the way to show strength and win the respect of others is very simple.
One is force.
This is the most intuitive manifestation.
Well-trained soldiers who follow orders and obey orders are the first sight displayed to the outside world.
Weapons, equipment, and powerful offensive methods are the second means to frighten the opponent.
Strong commanders and sufficient reserve command talents are the third key to whether the territorial force can be expanded.
For these three things, Feng Mengyue originally thought that her Shanyue Territory had reached the forefront of all territories.
But in a sudden confrontation, after being easily defeated by a hundred-man escort with less than the majority and "no injuries", a show of force was naturally out of the question.
Therefore, only the second method is left.
Resource display.
Among them, the inherent resources of the territory are naturally difficult to display for a while.
Therefore, Feng Mengyue could only display the reserve resources as much as possible.
This welcoming feast is an important part of it!
"Suma, I've told the people below to get ready, hurry up. Hey, what are you thinking about!"
Putting on a beaming expression, Feng Mengyue just opened the door and before she finished speaking, she saw Sumo sitting by the bed with a thoughtful look on his face.
His brows were furrowed and his eyes were out of focus.
It was obvious that when he heard her speak, Sumo was still thinking carefully and could not react.
But the next second.
After seeing the rightful master approaching and suddenly coming back to his senses, Soma quickly stood up and made his request without any concealment.
When she heard that he just wanted something from the clutter under the bed, Feng Mengyue looked surprised and said quickly:
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with this. Most of the things piled up in this room are some sundries we bought back from outside or occasionally obtained. Some of them haven't found any use for the time being, and we don't know where to store them, so we just put them aside for the time being.
They are piled here, some are broken, and no one has repaired them, so we have to pile them here and wait for opportunities."
"As for the things under the bed, they are all the gadgets that Guan Shan picks out. They are not worth anything. You can just take whatever you want. Why are you so polite?"
Hearing that Feng Mengyue didn't care at all, Su Mo was not polite. He leaned down and dug through the debris.
He took out a small golden disc and pulled out a golden rope that seemed to come from the same source.
After taking out the two and holding them in his palm, Somo temporarily put aside his thoughts.
"What? There's something wrong with these two things?"
There are thirty or forty large items in the room, let alone small things like this.
Stacking everything together, you can find at least hundreds of objects like small golden discs.
Having never seen this thing before, and looking at Su Mo's cautious expression, Feng Mengyue paused, but in the end she still couldn't stop her curiosity.
"No, this thing is just similar to something I have seen. Look at the pattern on it, it seems to mean something."
"It's a pity that we can't decipher it yet!"
While speaking, Sumo's eyes seemed to be still on the disk, but in fact, they had already drifted to the side, calling for systematic identification in his heart.
However, it is a pity.
Even though he obtained this item with Feng Mengyue's permission, the system still prompted that the ownership rights still belonged to others and could not be identified.
"oh?"
"Guan Shan likes to collect these weird things. You want to talk about this pattern? I remember that the pendant he carries is similar to this, right?"
"Is it possible that there is something special about this?"
After staring at the pattern for a while, Feng Mengyue couldn't help but feel a little familiar.
However, her memory was so good that she immediately thought of the pendant around Guan Shan's neck through the pattern on the disk.
"What? He also has something similar to this?"
Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that this small golden disc is very similar to the outermost ring of the entire old-fashioned pocket watch.
When he heard that Guan Shan had other accessories, Su Mo couldn't help but feel shocked.
Although based on current clues, the relationship between these accessories and real pocket watches has yet to be studied.
But if you can get all the parts and put it together, it can be restored to its original appearance.
Or simply find Guan Shan, completely take ownership of this thing from him, and use the system to check its true properties.
"The secret talismans are so mysterious that they give me the ability to travel to the next disaster. Wouldn't it be great if I had a chance to get a real pocket watch?"
A glimmer of hope arose in his heart. After thinking about it again and again, Somo still held back his desire.
"This thing is very important to me, so I won't be polite."
"I have a deep feeling that Guan Shan is not dead yet. We must find him!"
System appraisal, for territories, buildings, large items, etc., no matter whether the opponent is dead or alive, certain conditions must be fulfilled in order to be qualified for appraisal.
But these little things.
As long as the other party dies, ownership will be lost.
At this time, it is still unusable during identification, which directly shows that although Guan Shan's current whereabouts are unknown, his life safety can be guaranteed.
And the other side.
Feng Mengyue also felt happy after seeing that just because of a small object, Su Mo was determined to find Guan Shan.
Before that, she was still struggling with how to use Soma's power to go into the mountains to find the whereabouts of Guan Shan.
But now, Sumo took the initiative to propose, undoubtedly omitting the countless explanations in the middle.
It can be said that the guest and the host enjoy themselves!
