Doomsday Totem

Chapter 102 Brewing
The quiet Hall of Valor sleeps in darkness...

Iron Slag got out of the car, letting Alice follow behind.After walking a while, he ordered, "Alice, turn on the headlights."

[Captain, will this disturb the slumber of the Heroic Spirits? ] Alice asked timidly.

"I think you should be more worried about whether I will cancel your anthropomorphic authorization." Tie Slag added lightly, "Also, you have violated some taboos, once in the frozen ocean, once just now, I hope you will not Make a third mistake."

[Captain, Alice is wrong...] A girl muttered from the speaker.She didn't expect Tie Slag to hold grudges so clearly and remember every little thing so clearly.

"Hurry up and turn on the light!" Tie Slag frowned and said impatiently.

[Obey, my captain] As soon as the words fell, the red comet's front shot out two beams of light, instantly illuminating the front.In the incandescent light, rusty human-shaped armor appeared.

These armors looked bulky, with their backs against the wall, one next to the other, filling both sides of the passage.Looking up, until the light is dim, they are still their figures.This passage is more than ten meters wide, but its length is difficult to estimate.He remembered that it took at least half an hour to walk here from the temple.This means that this channel is at least several kilometers long.

Looking at the dense armor on both sides, he couldn't help but wonder how many corpses were buried here...

At the same time, Alice shot out five-color light rays, scanning the past one by one.After a while, she reminded: [Captain, these are mechanical power armor produced 200 years ago]
[Compared to the psionic power armor driven by biological energy, the fuel-driven mechanical power armor is the most powerful equipment in the last two centuries. Because the mechanical power armor is relatively heavy, it can only be worn by strong people]
Listening to Alice's explanation, he approached and observed carefully.The surface of these power armors is full of bumps and cracks, obviously they were all put together later.

After seeing more than a dozen of them in a row, he became more and more frightened!Almost every one is riddled with holes and dilapidated.

Finally, he stopped in front of a white power armor.The paint on this Power Armor is fresh, so it shouldn't be long.However, the new paint did nothing to hide the splintering, which was obviously put together later, with rough solder joints in many places.It is not difficult to imagine what fate befell its owner.

"He's a good friend of mine, named Jesse Betsy. He was only 19 years old in the last big battle." Kezan's slightly hoarse voice came from behind, "At the last moment of his life, he detonated Lost his own power plant, and died with his opponent..."

Iron Slag turned his head and saw Kezan walking slowly, holding a candle, standing in front of the white power armor, staring at it for a long time.After a while, Kezan turned to him and said, "Friend, go back and rest."

"Can you tell me about that war?" Tie Slag asked, and made a gesture at the same time, and Alice turned off the car lights with satisfaction.

"It was a war that the Temple and the Silver City never dared to write in history. Twenty-nine thousand, five hundred and twelve temple guardians fought a decisive battle against the combined forces of the 510 Temple and Silver City." Kezan looked at the far-reaching Hall of Valor , held up a candle and said: "The war lasted for twelve days and nights, and the heroic spirits defeated the coalition forces several times until they were all killed!"

There are less than 3 people, but facing 75 people, what kind of courage and determination is needed...

Kezan's words echoed in his mind for a long time, and even after returning to the room, he couldn't calm down.

That night, Tie Slag suffered from insomnia.He stood by the window, thinking quietly.The moon gradually sank, and the sun slowly rose.

In the early morning of the next day, Kezan knocked on the door early in the morning, inviting him to the Endless Forest.He simply packed up his things, left the red comet in the castle, and then set off with Kezan.

At noon, the two walked to the edge of the endless forest.The cedar here is very dense and the trunk is very thick.According to Kezan, the cedars here have annual rings of thousands of years and cannot be felled at will, and only dead old trees can be used for firewood.

After entering Linhai, there are many things in Kezan Church and Iron Slag.For example, how to find ice crystal berries, how to search for traces of prey, which things are edible and which are poisonous.There are snow bears, elks, snow rabbits, ferrets, ice wolves and other creatures in the endless forest. They have different habits and foraging methods.

The two walked around the cedar forest for three hours, and luckily found a cluster of ice crystal berries.Kezan picked about twenty or so and kept a small half.He told Tie Slag that the berries cannot be picked entirely, and a part must be left for animals to eat.After the animal is done eating, the seeds are left in the droppings so that new berry bushes can grow.

It was already evening after picking the berries. The two originally wanted to go back to the castle, but found a trace of an elk on the way, and immediately chased after it.They walked a long way in the snow, and when they arrived at a certain place, Kezan suddenly pulled the iron slag down and said in a low voice, "Don't move, just lie on your stomach like this, the elk's vision is very sharp, but for the Things that are still can't be distinguished, this is its range of motion, and we are waiting here."

Tie Slag nodded, and the two of them just lay down in the snow, motionless.

In the early morning of the next day, when Iron Slag was about to fall asleep, Kezan gently squeezed him with his shoulder.Following Kezan's gaze, he saw a snow-white elk running not far ahead.This elk is very beautiful, with a bulging belly. The whole elk weighs several hundred catties, and it is estimated that it can eat for a long time.

Thinking of the delicacy of deer legs, Tie Slag quietly took out the shotgun, loaded the bullets, and raised the barrel of the gun little by little to aim at it.However, just as he was about to pull the trigger, Kezan suddenly pulled him back and whispered, "Next time, it's pregnant."

"Two glasses of ice crystal fruit wine." "Deal!"

On the way back, Kezan said that the [-] or so ice crystal berries picked today can make one liter of fruit wine, and when they collected about [-] berries, they would teach him how to make wine.

For the next period of time, they went to the endless forest to look for berries every day, and searched for prey by the way.On the seventh day, they finally hunted an elk, and on the No. 20th day, they encountered an adult snow bear.

Iron Slag originally thought that there would be a tough fight, but when the snow bear saw Kezan, it ran faster than a rabbit!
In this way, the days passed day by day...

Two months later, Kezan took the iron slag, dug up the berries buried deep in the ice, and began to brew ice crystal fruit wine.The brewing process is very simple, nothing more than squeezing, beating, fermenting, and filtering the juice.In the end, five hundred ice crystal berries were brewed into a large barrel of fruit wine.After they were sealed in oak barrels, they were placed in the deepest part of the cellar.

Kezan wrote the date and message on the barrel: Dr3710-07, co-brewed by Iron Slag Norses and Kezan Blood Wolf, may our lives be simple and happy.

After ten years, this ice crystal fruit wine is really brewed.The process of collecting and brewing, as well as the waiting time, made Tie Slag deeply appreciate the preciousness of ice crystal fruit wine.However, it didn't change anything, he would still ask every day: "How about a small glass?" "How about another small glass?" "How about another small glass?"

On the third day after brewing fruit wine, Tie Slag suddenly realized that he didn't come here to learn wine making and hunting, but to enhance his strength!So, he hurriedly found Kezan and made a request.

Kezan brought Iron Slag to the Hall of Valor, sat cross-legged face to face, and said, "From today on, under the watchful eyes of all the heroes, I will teach you ancient combat skills! Iron Slag Norses, are you ready?" No?"

"En." Tie Slag nodded seriously.

"Okay!" As soon as the words fell, Kezan slapped the ground and punched him!Iron Slag hurriedly rolled backwards, just as he avoided the punch in the face, another old punch followed.

"Damn, sneak attack!" Tie Slag cursed while struggling to fight back.Usually he is the one who sneaks up on others, but when it is his turn to be sneaked up.He never thought that this kind-hearted old man would go to war without declaring it.

"My friend, our ancestors did not encourage sneak attacks, but now I am teaching you to defend against other people's sneak attacks." Kezan said while punching, fists raining down on Iron Slag.

Tie Slag was no match for anyone who could scare away the snow bear, and was soon beaten to the ground.Kezan clapped his hands and said that's it for today, let him think about why he lost so quickly.

"Not as strong as you, not as fast as you, I'm sure we can't beat him," Tie Slag said.

Kezan waved his hand and said, "Think about the way of exerting force, the use of skills, and the arc of movement."

Iron Slag expressed dissatisfaction and insisted that it was a problem of strength and speed.Seeing this, Kezan stretched out his hand and said, "I don't move my feet and only use my left hand. Let's try."

"Not interested." After finishing speaking, Iron Slag made a gesture to leave.But in fact, he was bowing down to accumulate energy.When Kezan thought he was really going to leave, he suddenly turned around and punched him!With a muffled "bang", his fist was firmly grabbed by Kezan with one hand.Immediately afterwards, Kezan grabbed his fist and shook him hard, throwing him more than ten meters away.

The result of this battle was not much different from just now, but the process was far worse. Kezan didn't move, only using his left hand, but he couldn't do anything.

"The way of exerting force, the use of skills, and the arc of movement, please think carefully." After speaking, Kezan went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch, leaving Iron Slag to think slowly in the Hall of Valor.

"The way to exert force?" Tie Slag gesticulated and mused to himself for a long time, until Kezan asked him to eat.

"Why should I learn this? Weapons are used to fight!" Tie Slag thought for a long time before reaching such a conclusion.

Kezan laughed and explained.In real battles, both sides will wear various power armors.At this time, the damage of thermal weapons will be greatly reduced, and the power armor can still fly for a short time, with extremely fast speed and high flexibility.Therefore, the ability to fight hand-to-hand is very important.
