The discovery of black iron ore gave rise to the city of Sowers, and the brewing of black wine made Sowers famous.
Although when it comes to historical origins, Sols is superficially like the dust on the rocks, but the commercial district here is the largest commodity distribution center in the surrounding 40,000 square kilometers, but it is an indisputable fact. But after tonight, this title will have to be
As far as Neo could see, there was nothing but burning and white ground. A rough estimate was that in the central area alone, at least 25,000 square meters of area were in ruins, or were about to become ruins.
Ashes and sparks are flying in the twisted and steaming air, and the melted snow on the ground reflects the burning flames. This area is like a huge furnace. Every breath is scorching, and everything you feel is roasting, which makes people feel...
Heart palpitations that can be ignited at any time
Neo rolled on the ground a few times, and then walked towards the depths of the burning ruins. Most of the outer areas were burning vigorously, and from time to time, tongues of fire came out, licking Neo, and there were still other fires as they collapsed.
The force, bang! A large puff of fire came out at once, and then turned into a rolling cloud of fire, roaring into the sky. The wet clothes on Neo's body quickly became hot, and even began to steam. The shops here are lined up in rows, and they often burn.
A line, a wall, Neo was honored to feel the treatment of being greeted by flames.
Crossing several burning lines of fire, we entered the area that had basically been burned to white ground in the center. It was equally dangerous here, even more dangerous. Most of the ruins that looked like ashes were actually filled with dark fires. It was like the ashes of a furnace. Although the outside was cooling,
, when you dig it open, you will find that the temperature inside is extremely high, and it has a red burning color.
Even if the floating fire passes by and burns out, the dark fire will slowly cool down several times later, so the temperature of the entire area is still high and the combustion itself consumes a lot of oxygen. The central area is surrounded by the fire.
There are sporadic fires and dark fires inside that continue to consume. Therefore, the dangers caused by thin oxygen and cannot be seen are often more deadly.
Covering his mouth and nose with a wet collar, Neo wandered among the ruins like a wandering spirit. On the one hand, looking for a suitable hiding place, but more importantly, to find a water well for fire prevention needs. Even in the commercial area, water wells
There are also a few mouthfuls
The well was found, but the water press was violently damaged, and there was no bucket to hold the water.
Fortunately, the rubber gasket used for sealing was intact. Neo used the balance cone on the sword hilt as a hammer and both hands as tool pliers. After a lot of fiddling, he was finally able to squeeze out the water.
He couldn't wait to hold the water and splashed it on his face. Neo let out a breath, feeling like he was alive again.
Time waits for no one. He rolled on the spot again and soaked his clothes. He needed to find a tool to hold water.
Neo had accompanied Mirien to visit the commercial district of Sols City several times. I remember that in this central area, there was a large iron shop. The birth of the steam engine gave rise to many new things, including the ability to
Machine tools for rolling iron sheets, and sheet metal shop owners sell various utensils made of machine-pressed snowflake iron sheets, mostly daily necessities such as basins, pots, buckets, etc. Although they are not as expensive and exquisitely made as gold and silver utensils, they are cheaper.
It is durable and deeply loved by the middle and lower class people. It can even be said that one of the current trends is that Neo wants to find a tin bucket to use, hoping that there is one that has not been burned.
To his surprise, while searching the iron shop, Neo saw a woman lying on the side of the road, wearing a leather hunting suit. There were no obvious serious injuries on her body, but there was blood and she was still breathing.
After thinking for a while, Neo finally decided to use all his strength to pull up the woman's ankles. Neo dragged her all the way to the well. It wasn't that she couldn't carry her or carry her, but it was because she was in such a ghost place.
, it’s relatively more comfortable to be close to the ground.
Poof! A helmet full of water poured down on my head and face. No, try again...
The woman woke up in a panic. She was choking on water, coughing, and her long hair was wet. She looked like a drowning person who had just been fished out of the river.
When the woman woke up, the first thing she did when she saw Neo was to touch her waist. Neo stood there holding a sheathed rapier, shook it, then threw it over and said, "Excuse me, the dark cultists are very busy.
, I don’t have time to save you." He said, buckling the dripping helmet on his head, covering his mouth and nose with his wet collar, and continued to look for the tin shop.
When Neo retrieved a burnt iron bucket, he discovered that the woman was still there
Kara silently looked at the man approaching, her guard still not gone, not for anything else, just because of the bright blue eyes set off by the firelight. It was the color of the depths of the desert. Humans would not have such eyes.
Color, and if you look carefully enough, you will find that the proportions of this man's body are also different from humans. To put it simply, his calves are relatively longer. Although this will make people feel more upright, Kara knows that this is
Characteristics unique to werewolves
A quiet, even somewhat elegant werewolf is rarer than seeing a noble pig. With curiosity, Kara cautiously inquired: "It looks familiar. Where have we met?"
Neo, who was squeezing the well water into the iron bucket, glanced at Kara and said slowly: "Sauls City Prison, or the public trial in the square today at noon?"
"Ah!" Carla pointed at Neo with a bit of surprise: "You are the swordsman who killed Kent, the wild lion!"
Neo shrugged lazily. Kent, the wild lion, was the level 5 warrior. Most of them only remembered that he killed Kent, but did not remember, or selectively forgot that in order to kill Kent, more than a dozen 3
The last one in the class was disabled and seriously injured. However, Carla's words still made Neo feel a little better, and the originally cold atmosphere also relaxed.
"That's great!" Kara said with a little joy.
Seeing Carla's frank expression that was uncontaminated by the world, Neo knew that trouble was coming. Sure enough, he heard Carla say: "Mr. Fighter, can you help me complete a difficult task? Those bad guys are collecting supplies.
, and burned it to hide it. Please help me find out where their supplies are stored. When the time comes and these stolen goods are used as evidence, we can expose the big bad guys hiding behind the scenes!"
Neo walked silently carrying the bucket. The destination was not far away, less than 100 meters away. When he turned a corner, there was a wine shop. Neo valued the long-term roasting in a small wine cellar with a total area of less than 5 square meters.
The wine cellar is more literally called the fire cellar. It is rare that a large oak barrel has a burnt shell but has not burned down. Neo plans to take refuge in it, provided that there is enough water in it, otherwise he will become
Tin foil wine-flavored roasted chicken
Kara stayed next to Neo like a follower, trying to persuade Neo: "I saw those bad guys operating in pairs, and the two of us cooperated perfectly. Then we got a set of clothes, pretended to be those bad guys, and transported supplies. Naturally,
I found the storage place. In fact, I have already deduced that the storage place is under the business district. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Who would have thought that the materials are stored somewhere underground in the ruins? Those bad guys are really cunning..."
"Wow! What do you want to do, roast yourself?" Kara stepped into the wine cellar with half a foot, and hurriedly backed out. The kind of high temperature that can ignite people at any time and the pressure that hits her face and makes it difficult to breathe.
The scorching heat was so unbearable that Carla doubted whether Neo had the blood of a fire salamander, otherwise he would be able to walk into it without even frowning.
Neo didn't say anything, and used the water in the bucket to moisten the blackened surface of the barrel, and then poured the remaining water into the wine barrel whose top was smashed by him. At this time, the wine barrel had been rolled off the shelf by him.
When it comes down, it is no longer placed horizontally, but upright, like a large vat, which is more than enough to hide a person.
"Let me check where the stolen goods are stored, okay?"
This is already Neo's second bucket of water, and Kara is begging on the side
"Is that good?"
"Is it okay?" pitifully
"No!" Neo was really annoyed by Kara, and said: "I am the target of an evil fire puppet. Now you should know why I chose this burning ruin to hide? If you don't want to die, stay away from me.
"
"I don't know, what kind of monster is the Evil Fire Puppet? Is it very powerful?" Carla said with an unworldly look and tone.
"..."
Neoxin said: "No wonder he came up with the bad idea of pretending to be a dark cultist to inspect the storage of supplies."
The plan proposed by Carla sounds good at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, how can ordinary dark cultists know such an important place where supplies are stored? Even if it requires manpower to transport it, it must be someone with extraordinary trust.
He is responsible for the last part, and must have more careful inspection measures. It is okay to pretend to be a dark cultist and wander around the streets. But when it comes to critical situations, he doesn't even know what he is doing, and is he exposed in public?
Moreover, Neo is now 6 or 7 points sure that this woman is the person that the dark-blooded woman and a group of dark cultists wanted to lure out before. However, he just happened to meet him and saw such a scene that almost made him passionate.
A handful of traps
There is someone as insidious as a dark blood woman, and the dark cultists are already alert. If they pretend to be dark cultists to explore the storage area, the chance of winning is close to zero.
When Neo was receiving the third bucket of water, the thumping footsteps of the evil fire puppet came to his ears. Although there were many flames blocking the way, this guy still came, much faster than Neo expected.
"The Evil Fire Puppet is here. It is more powerful than the Black Butcher. Run for your life! Stop thinking about checking the supply storage area. The Dark Cultists are already alert. There is a dark-blooded woman who may be the leader and has set a trap.
To arrest you, your method has no chance of winning.
And depending on the cunning of the enemy, materials will never be stored in one place for the duration of the scene. After all, there are many dark cultists involved, and there are many people with mixed eyes. Even if you successfully detect it at the moment, you will most likely find nothing if you lead people to look for it afterwards. You will fall into a trap and run away.
!Go quickly!”
Neo's words were urgent and fast. Only then did Kara realize that the werewolf did not have language communication barriers as she thought. He was simply too lazy to talk to her before.
Kara really didn't know how powerful the Evil Fire Puppet was. Even if it was the Black Butcher, she had only heard of its name, and luckily she didn't meet him today. However, Neo's urgency affected her, and she followed him unconsciously.
Neo, who was running with a bucket, started running.
Ouch...
In the distance, the evil fire puppet seemed to understand Neo's true intention of hiding in this burning place. At this moment when it had not completely and completely lost its sense of Neo, the evil fire puppet let out an angry roar for the first time.
That voice can be clearly heard even from the other end of Soles City. It has a kind of intimidating power mixed with a strong will to destroy, which makes people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
The pace of the Evil Fire Puppet's progress has also changed. It is charging forward, its burning battle ax breaking through all obstacles in front of it. Flames, fire ashes, and burning objects are shooting out in all directions and flying down from the sky.
Looking down from the sky, a blazing line of fire formed, rushing towards Neo.
