"Is Chengxi Old Street far from here?" Iron Slag asked with interest. ●⌒ Title novel,

"Well...... Satsuki thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how far it is, anyway, it will take more than an hour to walk from here." Speaking of Lao Cai, she became energetic and excitedly introduced, "We have a lot of delicious things there, and they are all very cheap, unlike here, where you can buy half a silver coin to buy a loaf of bread." ”

"I'll definitely check it out when I have time." Iron Slag answered, and then asked seemingly casually, "By the way...... Do you all suck Jack? ”

"I don't suck." The girl shook her head and said, "Uncle Hagrid often says that Jack is a bad thing, let's not get it." ”

"Hmm," Iron Slag nodded, then asked, "I've heard that the insects here suck Jack, is that true?" ”

"Yes......" the girl nodded, and continued, "but there are also those who don't suck, like Uncle Hagrid you met just now, he doesn't suck." ”

"He's also an insecter?" Iron Slag asked curiously.

"Yes, he's so powerful, he's the strongest bounty warrior in the area." Xiao Yue said with great interest, and there was an unconcealable admiration in her eyes.

"However, I've heard that the worms are forced to inject Jack when they enter the city." Iron Slag put down the wine glass, glanced at Satsuki beside him, and continued, "As far as I know, once the Worm Contaminates Jack, it is very difficult to quit. ”

"yes, most people can't quit." Satsuki took a sip of water and said, "We heard Uncle Hagrid say that those foreign insects only need to be forced to inject Jack when they go through the residency procedures for the first time, and if they can resist the temptation this time, they don't need to contact it again in the future." ”

"I've injected Jack and can quit, it's really amazing." Iron Slag couldn't help but sigh. Those who can resist Jack's temptation must have a heart of steel.

"yes, yes......" Satsuki chick nodded like a peck of rice.

"What kind of person is this Hagrid you are talking about?" Iron Slag asked casually.

"Uncle Hagrid looks a bit fierce, usually doesn't like to talk, and when we first meet, many people think he's a bad guy, but he's actually a good guy." Satsuki replied.

"What else?" Iron Slag asked. For some reason, he became interested in the insect who could resist Jack's temptation.

At this moment, a trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes. Although this doubt was fleeting, it was captured by the iron slag. Suddenly, the atmosphere became dull in vain. After a while, Satsuki was the first to break the silence. I saw her smile sweetly at the iron slag, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then asked in a tired voice, "Uncle, are you here to drink?" ”

"I just arrived here and don't know much about the situation, so I'm asking around." Iron Slag said sincerely.

"Uncle, Satsuki is just a little girl, and she knows very little about it." Satsuki's eyes twinkled and suggested.

Iron Slag thought for a moment, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then stared into her eyes and said, "Come on, tell his story." He said as he pulled out a gold coin and put it on the table, pushing it over, "Well said, it's yours." ”

"Actually, Uncle Hagrid is nothing special, just like other bounty warriors, he makes a living by hunting insects on weekdays, and occasionally participates in the actions of the city defense army." Xiao Yue turned her head to look at the gold coin and said.

"I'm just curious about what kind of worm can resist Jack's temptation, so I'd like to hear his story, nothing else." Iron Slag explained.

"I've heard from people here that Uncle Hagrid used to suck Jack too, and for years, and then ......," Satsuki sighed and continued, "His brother died in a conflict......"

"He's quit Jack ever since."

"People here say that the brothers have a good relationship, and they often come here to eat and drink, but they never look for girls."

"Uncle Hagrid used to laugh a lot, but now he doesn't smile anymore and keeps a straight face every day."

"And ......" Satsuki added, as if suddenly remembering something, "His brother's name is Raven, and everyone in the old street knows this name, but most people don't know that it's his brother." ”

Raven?

Suddenly, these two words flashed through Iron Slag's mind, and a sense of déjà vu came to his heart......

"Uncle, can you please give me a drink? A glass of rum costs only half a silver coin. Satsuki pleaded.

"Hmm." Lost in thought, Iron Slag nodded, then held out two fingers. Satsuki immediately called the waiter and ordered two glasses of rum.

After thinking about it for a while, the iron slag finally remembered. Years ago, when he was about twelve years old, he and Lao Niu offended a gang of hooligans who had just entered Iron Mountain Town. At that time, the situation was very complicated, there were originally several gangs in Iron Mountain Town that had received the favor of the Iron Old Man, and whenever they had a conflict with others, these people would always stand by their side. However, this time, the gangster gang they were guilty of had a close relationship with a mercenary group in Sand City, and in addition to possessing a large number of weapons, they also hired three reformers. Therefore, the local gangs in Iron Mountain Town did not dare to participate in this incident.

Just when the iron slag and the old cow were beaten to hide and dare not show their heads, this gangster suddenly disappeared overnight. Later, Iron Slag infiltrated the gang's stronghold, and in the mess and blood stains everywhere, he saw two large bright red characters - raven.

In the vast sea of people, there must be more than one person who calls the raven. Iron Slag didn't think that the raven here would be the same person as the raven back then, but he had a liking for the name.

It didn't take long for the waiter to bring two glasses of rum and leave. Looking at the back of the waiter leaving, Iron Slag picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then asked, "Who is the raven?" Why the people of Lao Cai know. ”

"Heroes of Lao Cai." The girl said earnestly, her pious eyes full of respect.

"What did he do?" Iron Slag asked.

"In the past, all children born in Lao Cai had to go through the formal residency procedures when they reached the age of twelve, and by the way, they had to inject Jack once."

"Five years ago, a group of clerks came to Lao Cai to go through the formalities for the children. When the ravens heard the news, they rushed to the scene and stopped them from mutilating the children......"

"In the end, the ravens had a fierce conflict with them......"

"After the raven died, the people of Lao Cai rose up to resist, and since then, Wind Sand Castle has not implemented this rule again."

"I'm lucky that I didn't get Jack because of the raven."

After listening to the story, Tie Slag picked up the wine glass and motioned to Xiaoyue: "Come, for the raven, the hero of the old street, cheers!" ”

"Cheers!" Satsuki picked up the wine glass with both hands, touched it with the iron slag, and then drank it all. However, the little girl was not very good at drinking, and when the high concentration of alcohol ran down her throat, she coughed violently.

Iron Slag reached out and patted her on the back, and persuaded softly: "Friend, drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

"No...... For Raven...... Our hero ......" Satsuki forced a cough and drank the entire glass of high wine in one go.

After a moment of silence, Iron Slag saw that the time was almost up, so he summoned the waiter and paid for the wine with two silver coins and five silver coins for the drink. Before leaving, Xiao Yue stuffed back the gold coin that Tie Slag had rewarded her with, and said, "Thank you for your respect for the heroes of Lao Cai, I can't accept this gold coin." ”

"Take it, find another job, that's how to pay homage to the hero." Iron Slag returned the gold coin and said.

"Thank you." Satsuki bowed deeply to the strange young man, and when she raised her head again, the tall figure had disappeared into the dim light......

After leaving the bar, Iron Slag continued to wander the streets. Not long after, he passed by a large gun shop, looked up at the sign, and walked in. Although there are only two silver coins and five copper plates left in his pocket at the moment, he still has Mu Yuqinxin's card, which is a star stone black/card that can be unimpeded all over the world, a top status symbol.

After entering the door, a female shopping guide greeted me and bowed down to greet her: "Hello guest, how can I help you?" ”

"Just take a look." Iron Slag said, then looked around. The gun shop is over 1,000 square meters and is divided into different areas. There are five areas: firearms area, heavy weapons area, cold weapons area, blasting weapons area and accessories area. The weapons here are densely packed and a little messy, unlike the loose-spaced, clear, and lavishly decorated center of the csum.

To the left of the entrance was the Explosives section, a relatively rare classification, so he walked in and looked around.

Since the ancient nuclear war, humanity has re-established civilization in the wasteland, and a consensus has been formed. This consensus is known as the Human Pact.

The Convention of Humanity overrides all conventions and legal texts, including the Universal Convention, but its content is very simple: there is only one article.

"Humanity will not develop, manufacture, or use any weapons of mass destruction."

This pact is the crystallization of the wisdom of all mankind condensed with profound historical lessons and thousands of years of suffering. The reason for this is very simple: as long as any force or organization manufactures a 1,000-kilometer radius of a weapon, it will lead another force or organization to start developing a 2,000-kilometer radius of a weapon, followed by a 5,000-meter radius and a 10-kilometer radius......

And so on, the nuclear bomb will soon return to the world and obliterate it again. Perhaps this time the destruction will be more complete and leave no room for ......

Today, artillery shells, rockets, and small missiles are the ultimate in human-range destruction. This is mainly to combat the invasion of bee ant colonies and ectopes, which would otherwise be banned from production. Some scholars believe that the reason why the bee ant colony has an absolute advantage in numbers, but it has not attacked the silver city world on a large scale; The main reason for this is that they fear that humanity will be pushed back into the use of nuclear weapons.

Whether it is a human or a bee ant colony, the ultimate goal of fighting a dimensional war is to compete for resources, not to destroy each other.

As a result, explosive weapons are in high demand in most places, and the larger the range, the rarer they are. The standard individual combat configuration of the Academy Alliance is only two blasting grenades. And individual rockets are even more expensive and scarce.
