Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

Seeing his attitude, Tuoren didn't bother too much, turned around and said:

"I wonder if you remember the desert where the floating island fell. There used to be a group of blacksmiths who made armors and weapons for the hunters who passed by."

"Where is the volcano in the Death Desert? I have heard of it." Luo Qiu raised her eyebrows, remembering the desert that was very far away from here. "The forging technology there is very good, and because of the advantageous terrain, precious ores are everywhere. Before the fall of Floating Island No. [-], it was a paradise for forging weapons. Unfortunately, they were missing because of the fall of Floating Island No. [-], and they don’t know whether they are dead or alive.”

"...?"

The man turned his head and looked at him doubtfully.

"...Although I don't know where you heard this news, I can tell you responsibly that I am one of the forgers of that volcano, fighting with the hunters sent by the Floating Island. Lord Black Dragon reminded us to get out of there before, so we were able to narrowly escape when the floating island fell."

"what?"

This was beyond the expectations of the hunters. Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment, then realized it and smiled: "That's really a pleasure to meet."

The blacksmith sighed and said: "I have told you so much, just to tell you that here, our technology and ore richness far exceed that of that volcano. This is our heritage."

"...That's it." Luo Qiu said with a smile. He turned his head and looked at his companions behind him. They all showed greedy expressions, and they were obviously a little moved by Tuo Ren's words.

"Well..." Luo Qiu pondered for a while and said: "If...I mean if, if we want to entrust you to upgrade weapons and armor, and we don't have a penny now." No, what do we need to do for you?”

"That's all." He walked ahead without looking back, walked through the corridor of his residence, and walked deeper into the cave, "Stay here to mine, go to the village not far away to pave the way, etc. .Except you, there is no precedent before this, so this is not what I say, it has to be what the priests and gods say - do you plan to stay here?"

"Let's take a look here first." Luo Qiu declined politely, but now that she had spoken, her tone already contained a hint of hesitation.

"Ah."

The man nodded and said nothing.

After they walked for a while, the forging man in front stopped and gave way.

In front of them, several people were pulling carts, struggling to move forward in the tunnel.

Because the beasts that were tamed to pull carts hate the high temperature environment here in the volcano, and the tunnels here are too small for the mammoths, people who want to transport ore can only use this primitive method. transportation.

The hunters also quickly got out of the way, but when the cart passed by them, everyone saw the sparkling raw ore above and showed greedy expressions.

Even Luo Qiu couldn't help but swallow when he saw the cart of ore.

Chapter 252: Go or Stay

"It's really rich here..."

——Another mine cart passed by, and Luo Qiu finally couldn't help but speak.

"That neat rectangular shape. If I read it correctly, the ore just now looks like orichalcum, right?"

Orichalcum is a special metal that is already rectangular when excavated. It can be used directly by knocking off the surrounding stone.

But what really makes Luo Qiu excited is its excellent characteristics: although it is still very heavy to outsiders, it is already much lighter than the Nirvana Stone. It has extremely strong impact resistance and can spread the impact to whole body.

In other words, if you rely on brute force alone, you cannot break the surface at all. You must have the power to break an entire piece of orichalcum to defeat it in one fell swoop. It is one of the excellent materials for all hunters to make armor. For those who cannot lift it, The Nirvana alloy shield is the perfect choice for shield hunters.

It is worth mentioning that this material is also among the mixed metals of Nirvana Alloy, and the latter naturally inherits this characteristic of orichalcum.

"That's right, it's orichalcum. There's an orichalcum vein near here." Blacksmith glanced at him and said calmly.

"..."

To be honest, Luo Qiu was already excited, because in addition to orichalcum, he also saw a lot of precious ores. At the same time, there were other companions before him who couldn't hold back.

But no matter what, Luo Qiu left a trace of hesitation in his heart - in this territory ruled by the black dragon, was he putting his own safety at risk by doing this?Living in the territory of such a dangerous creature made him feel insulted as a hunter.

——Until the next moment, what he saw broke his persistence.

After passing through the maze of tunnels, the environment around them opened up, and an iron door blocked their way.

Tuo Ren opened the door and led them inside.

The hunters raised their heads and looked around, their eyes suddenly solidified.

——A spaceship is slowly taking shape due to the movement of surrounding equipment.

"This is the shipyard we established. It was dismantled from the No. [-] floating island. Although it is very inconvenient without the energy of the floating island, all parts can still be used after modification. Currently, we Through our efforts, we have completed a small spaceship, and this one is almost completed.”

The forged person turned his head and introduced to them.

grunt.

Luo Qiu swallowed, feeling unbelievable.

This shipyard is too simple compared to the one on the floating island, but what it represents is completely different. Before this, their impression of the Ice Vein Snowfield was just a larger tribe, but now, it seems that Looking at this modern factory, no one would regard it as a backward tribe.

"..."

Luo Qiu fell into a long silence. After hearing the shipyard that the priest originally mentioned, Luo Qiu didn't take it seriously, and even despised their shamelessness in using this name.

"I want to ask..." After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked: "Don't you feel uneasy living with that...that black dragon?"

"Uneasy? What are you uneasy about?" Tuoren asked with a frown.

Luo Qiu took a deep breath and said seriously: "'He' is a beast. With all due respect, although you have always called it a god, it is just a beast after all. Haven't you realized this? ?”

Facing Tuo Ren's increasingly unfriendly expression, he quickly added: "I don't mean any harm, I really want to know what you think."

"... We did think so at the beginning." After staring at them in silence for a moment, the forging man said solemnly: "But do you realize it? The difference between the Black Dragon and other creatures Where?"

"..."

"He brought us food, gave us a place to live, and arranged everything in the territory in an orderly manner... If He were Him, how could He do this?" Tuoren said calmly: "To be honest, He did use some... tough measures at the beginning, but that's all. Our survival in this dangerous land depends entirely on His existence. So you Calling Him a beast, I don’t agree with that.”

"...Is that so?" Hearing this, Luo Qiu fell silent and nodded thoughtfully: "Then I apologize to you."

"Well..." After Luo Qiu decisively agreed, Tuoren didn't bother too much, "I understand, so be it."

After walking through the factory, they opened the door deeper and were surprised to find that they had left the cave. They had been walking in an n-shaped path in the tunnel of the cave.

"There's only so much I can show you."

The blacksmith stopped, looked at them and asked, "It's up to you whether you want to stay or go."

"I see."

Luo Qiu smiled, took off the weapon behind him, and placed it by the wall. "I will trouble you in the future."

"Ah."

Tuoren moved his beard, his expression was very calm.

Afterwards, in order to deal with the matter of the spaceship, Luo Qiu and the others embarked on the journey back to the top of the mountain.

......

"——Then, I will trouble you about the subsequent transaction content."

At the edge of the volcano, Ishikawa nodded slightly to Rachel and the others and said.

"Our dealings with Floating Island also rely on the cooperation of both parties."

Rachel smiled, then turned her head and faced the hunters who were pulling the cart over.

"Hello everyone, how was your visit?" Rachel said with a smile.

"......very nice."

Looking at the priest's smile, Luo Qiu nodded, but her thoughts were not so calm.

——Even if you hear the sound of mammoths or the sound of wheels, it is normal to hear the arrival of someone, but how did they discover the identities of these people...

Luo Qiu kept smiling, looked in the direction of Rachel's eyes, and glanced at the magma again. The shadow of the dragon was no longer visible, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

He opened his mouth and said: "We have decided to stay here, Lord Priest."

Hearing this, Rachel smiled and nodded: "I understand, I will make arrangements for you right now."

"I will disturb you while I stay here." Luo Qiu said humbly.

But on the other side, Ishikawa listened to their words and watched them not far away, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

But he still turned his head and boarded the spacecraft.

Chapter 253: Shaken

——At night, two bobcats gathered together and whispered in the alley.

"Meow? What's the reason for calling me here this time, meow?"

A short bobcat pushed up his glasses and asked.

In front of it is a bobcat holding a notebook. It looks timid and harmless from the outside.

"That's right, meow. Didn't the boss arrange for me to be a spy?"

The timid lynx said so.

After all, I am alone and there is no way I can spy on so many people.Therefore, in addition to it, Mercer also arranged for other companions, but except for the timid lynx who took the initiative, the other lynxes stood still and concentrated on doing the things in front of them.

And the little lynx in front of me is one of them.

"That's right, meow."

"But I encountered some problems on the way, and I need your help, cat." The timid bobcat looked around for a while and said cautiously.

"What is meow?"

"You are not helping a linguist, meow." The timid bobcat said, handing the book in his hand to it, "I hope you can help me decipher the contents, meow."

"Meow?"

After the little bobcat took it, he started to look through it, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his frown deepened: "This kind of thing, you can feel that there is something bad in it, meow."

"It's the spy from the floating island who said Mark Meow." The timid lynx explained.

"Meow...huh? Why is the content of this page different from the previous one?" The little bobcat asked in a daze as he slowly flipped through the content.

"You are really awesome, meow, I read that right, meow!" After seeing it keenly aware of this, the timid lynx showed a happy expression, "Because it was left by spies from different forces, and their encryption method may It’s different, meow.”

After hearing this, the little Shanmao's face froze: "Could it be that you want me to crack the encryption methods of every force above, right?"

"That's it, meow!"

"It's too hard, meow! No, it's too hard, meow!" the little bobcat said, but then he sighed silently, "Forget it, leave this task to me, meow, I remember the spy's encryption The system is also closely related to linguistics."

"Then please!"

......

"That's what I say, but this is not something that can be easily accomplished, nya..."

The little bobcat returned to the house from the window, looking at the notebook in his hand and feeling worried.

No matter what I say, I have only learned one and a half tricks of a linguist, which is really not that professional.

Moreover, there is nothing to learn in this remote and remote area. Even if Ice Vein Snowfield had previously traded a large number of books to Floating Island, it was far from enough. Few of them were useful for linguistics.

"There is so much content, it will take me until the year of the monkey, horse and moon to complete all the decryption..."

The lynx said to himself sadly.

After thinking for a long time, it couldn't help but yawn, looked at the notes in its hands, and put it under its pillow to hide it.

After all, this is important information about the spies on the floating island. What if someone discovers it...

Wait, someone discovered it?

The little lynx suddenly had a flash of inspiration and suddenly had other ideas.

——Use this method and let other more professional people crack it!

This house is inhabited by a neurotic old scholar, and everything it learns about linguistics comes from him. Although it often muttered "There is a huge conspiracy in the Ice Vein Snow Plains!" and "There is always something wrong." One day I will escape from here and be free!" - words like that, but after several years of contact, the relationship between the timid lynx and him has somewhat eased, so he can be considered his. Half a teacher.

Thinking of this, the lynx's eyes lit up, showing a cunning look.

Although I feel sorry for doing this, there is nothing else I can do... next time I will cook some healthy meals for him...

......

The next day, the old man shrugged his nose and opened his eyes angrily: "Stop making noise! ​​It's so noisy that it won't let anyone sleep!"

But when he opened his eyes, he found that what he saw in front of him was not the ceiling as before, but the roof of a pulling car.

"Here...where is this!"

He looked around, his tone uncontrollably panicked.
