Doomsday Totem

Chapter 303
Dr3713-04-21, on the afternoon of the third day after You Ge participated in the Summer Elders' Meeting, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Eternal City, in the north of the central part of the endless sand sea in the Northern Wilderness, a towering tower of hundreds of thick roots Above the industrial city of chimneys, a small aircraft is hovering, seemingly looking for a place to land.

At this moment, the afternoon sun shone on the large steel building, and the steel brackets, all kinds of twisted and twisted metal pipes, and the huge storage tanks all looked darker and darker.If you look closely, you can find a thick layer of coal ash attached to it.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still five hours before the morning and evening shift change in Sand City. The whole city is immersed in tranquility, except for the regular sound of steam turbines leaking air and the muffled sound of heavy iron being crushed, there is almost nothing else. movement.

After a while, the small aircraft landed in an open space outside the south gate of the sand city, and landed on the dry, cracked gray ground.Viewed from the side, the outer shell of the aircraft is painted with the symbol of the Bauhinia flower and the words "Princess Mansion, Sparrowhawk III".If there are well-informed people here at this moment, they will be able to recognize the redbud flower and the forces it represents.As for the words on the back of the bauhinia flower, it is not something that ordinary people can understand. Even the nobles of Yincheng only partially know it. "Bauhinia" represents the Lombard family that ruled the Golden Triangle, "Princess Mansion" represents the personal armament of Princess Yuge of the Temple, and "Sparrow Eagle III" represents the establishment of the Princess Guard.

"Chi..." After a long sound of discouragement, the rear hatch of the aircraft slowly opened upwards.Immediately afterwards, a locomotive with red paint and a shiny surface rushed out. In the dazzling sunlight, it brought up waves of smoke and dust, and rushed towards the south gate of the sand city.

The person driving the locomotive at this moment is Iron Slag Knowleses.

More than a month ago, You Ge sent someone to send the repaired red comet back to the Atlantic Mansion.After getting the locomotive, Tie Zha decided to return to the Northern Wilderness Continent while waiting for the core members of the Wolf Clan Legion to receive training.I haven't seen him for three years. Although he is surrounded by singing birds and swallows and flowers, his thoughts are increasing day by day.For him, Big Sister is the most special existence.She is his mother and sister, his lover, and his boss and teacher.

When borrowing the aircraft, You Ge repeatedly asked him what he was doing back to Beihuang.He didn't say the reason directly, but said that there were some old things to deal with in Shacheng.Although Yu Ge guessed his real purpose, he still lent him Sparrowhawk III.

After arriving in Beihuang, with the assistance of Sparrowhawk No. 20, he drove the locomotive and played the bug flute, looking for the person who once gave him a warm embrace in the vast sandy sea.But more than [-] days passed, but he found nothing, and did not find a trace.Her existence seems to have disappeared, maybe the sea of ​​sand is too big and vast, or maybe she has already left...

Seeing that the training period of Wang Hu and others was coming to an end, and the fuel of the Sparrow Eagle [-] was almost exhausted, he had no choice but to go to Sand City to refill the fuel, and stop by Heros' house to try his luck.In addition, Ye Xinling once entrusted him to take care of her parents and younger brother.Three years have passed, and it's time for him to take a look.

At this time, there was a faint smell of soot in the air.Looking up, there are puddles of gray-black, with a little oily water floating all over the muddy and rocky ground, and the gravel on the ground is black and shiny.Here, all kinds of heavy machinery, steel works, coal mine piles, fuel tanks, and workers in blue canvas suspenders can be seen everywhere in twos and threes.Smelling the familiar smell and looking at the city as before, Tie Slag couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It has been three years, Baiyun Canggou, it seems like a lifetime away.

Thinking back to three years ago, he was still a teenager who knew nothing and only worried about money for the winter, longing for the flying fish in the sand sea in the motorcycle shop, and worrying about gains and losses for a handful of gunpowder and silver stars.But now, he has become a big man in people's minds, stepped onto the world stage, and has a reputation and status that ordinary people can't match.He is a civilian hero in the world of Silver City, and in the eternal city thousands of miles away, no matter where he goes, he will always be the focus of attention.He is the darling of heaven, the honored pet of the three major beliefs gathered in one body, an existence that no one dares to ignore.

After entering the city, he first went to the middle of Shacheng Central Street to buy two roasted whole chickens and a large piece of smoked pork ribs, wrapped them in oiled paper, and then drove into the alley, walking in the direction he remembered, After seven bends and eight turns, we came to the second-hand goods market in Shacheng - Weixiang.

Then, he stopped in a remote corner of the alley.In front of him was a small shop with a dirty canvas curtain drawn in front of the door.At this time, an elderly man was sitting on a small bench in front of the door, leaning against the oily wall with half-closed eyes, as if dozing off.

The arrival of iron slag did not disturb the old man.After stopping the car, he took out the food and a case of wine from the canvas bags on both sides of the locomotive, and came to the old man.Maybe the old man slept too deeply, even if someone came to him, he didn't wake up.

Seeing this, Iron Slag put down his things lightly, then moved a wooden bench and sat down.The old man in front of him seemed to be much older. If it was the past, as soon as he approached, the other party would jump up vigilantly, instead of sleeping drowsily with saliva on the corner of his mouth like now.

I don't know how long it took, until the sunset slanted, and the old man woke up leisurely.When he fully woke up, he suddenly found that there was another person in front of him, and he was watching him.He trembled all over, struggling to get up.Just then, the man spoke.

"it's me."

The voice was so familiar, the old man quickly calmed down and rubbed his eyes.I saw the young man grinning at him, looking at this iconic smile, he recognized him immediately.

"Iron slag!" The old man shouted excitedly, and stood up tremblingly.Tie Slag got up quickly and stepped forward to support the old man.

"Iron Slag, you are really Iron Slag, they all said that you killed nobles..." The old man opened his oily hands and tightly grasped Iron Slag's arm.While talking in a trembling voice, she stared at him intently, fearing that she had misidentified the wrong person, so she was in vain joy.

Gradually, the old man regained his calm.After regaining his senses, he hurriedly moved up the small bench he had been sitting on just now, and greeted him, "Come, come, sit, sit..."

After Tie Slag sat down, the old man stared at him for a while, finally took a deep breath, and sighed: "Okay, I've grown up, Old Man Tie finally has a child."

This long sigh contained countless years of vicissitudes and a sad past.In an instant, Tie Slag's eyes turned red, and he almost shed tears.

Afterwards, Tie Slag took out a bottle of wine from the box and handed it to the old man, saying, "Master Lao Niu, I brought you some good wine."

The old man took the wine bottle, fumbled out a small monocle from his pocket, hung it on his right eye, and looked at it carefully.The style of the wine bottle is simple and simple, lines of beautiful aristocratic language are engraved on the bottle body, and a pale golden seal is inlaid at the bottom of the bottle neck. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the maroon liquid in the bottle exudes a faint luster.This bottle of wine, one can tell that it is not ordinary. The old man quickly asked: "Tie boy, what kind of wine is this? I have never seen it before."

"It seems to be called Saint, Roja." Tie Slag replied.

"San Augusta Roja?" asked the old man.

"Yes, that's it." Tie Slag said.

"My God, this is Pope cognac. Where did you get it? I heard that this wine has hundreds of thousands of gold coins!" The old man said in surprise.

"Really? I don't know." Tie Slag said casually.Of course, it's not that he really doesn't understand, but that he doesn't want to bring pressure to the old man.

However, his kindness aroused the doubts of the old man.

"Your wine, shouldn't it be..." The old man looked around and said in a low voice, "Steal it..."

"No." Tie Slag waved his hand and said.

"Then..." The old man looked at the wine bottle again, hesitatingly said, "Could it be a fake, you were deceived..."

"It's fine if you don't drink it." Tie Slag frowned and said in a deep voice.He and Eva specially went to the winery to pick this wine, how could it be fake.

Seeing the change in Tie Slag's expression, the old man hurriedly shrank back holding the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "Tie Boy, Tie Old Man should have taught you that you may not be able to take back what you give away."

"It's true that we can't go back..." Tie Slag nodded and said.But just now the old man breathed a sigh of relief, he added, "But you can grab it."

"Don't...don't do this..." The old man stepped back, biting the cork with his few remaining teeth, and then poured it into his mouth.

"Ah..." After taking a sip of the mellow wine, the old man couldn't help letting out a long sigh, "Good wine! Good wine, this is the best wine I've ever had in my life!" However, drinking a bottle of [-] gold The old second-hand firearms dealer was still a little dissatisfied, breathing out the alcohol and sighing, "Unfortunately..."

"Huh?" Tie Slag asked.

"If you don't drink, just have a roast chicken or something." The old man said, completely sighing.

Hearing what the old man said, Tie Slag immediately grinned, picked up the greased paper bag on the ground, opened it and handed it to the old man.

"Good! Good food!" The old man immediately put down the wine bottle with bright eyes, grabbed the whole roast chicken and ate it.While eating, he greeted Tie Slag, "Tie Boy... come and eat some... drink..."

Next, the old and the young squatted at the door of the small shop, talking about the old days, drinking and eating meat, having fun.

Halfway through the meal, Tie Slag asked how the old cow was doing.

"Fortunately, Niu Zai came to see me last year. He is now in the teacher's school in Nancheng. I heard that he has learned some skills and is living a good life." Old Master Niu said.

Tie Slag nodded, in this cruel world, as long as he knew that his old friend was still alive, that was enough.
