Steel Steam and Flame

The smell of sulfur still remained in the sky, and the huge mountains covered by gray-black volcanic rocks appeared in the distance when they bypassed the mountain peaks in front of them. The overflowing lava formed a circle with distinct layers around it. On the outermost part, tenacious plants have taken root on it.

Some of the warning signs abandoned by Borghese Regional Management Agency were faintly discernible. It was raining a lot, and the peeling paint was covered with rust. Going around the huge volcano, the crater still showed a cherry red color. The big eruption did not exhaust its energy, but in its current state, there is no possibility of a second eruption.

Keeping the young dragon away from the volcano, it landed on the ground ten kilometers away. With a roar, Cassiehe only rested less than two or three times during the flight for more than three days. He immediately fell down, his mouth wide open, his nose gushing out a large group of hot white air, and his eyes half-opened and half-closed looking at Cassia.

Shaking his head, Cassia removed half of the bag of scales and weapons, and turned on the communicator.

"I will be able to reach the volcano in a few hours. After you have taken care of it, you can take the machines to the approximate location I explained." After speaking, he looked at Cassiehei, and Cassia scanned the surroundings. Here It is a not deep pit, and the grass grows to the waist, just as a camouflage for the young dragon.

"Be patient and bear it first, after two or three days, after finishing the work, I will fill your stomach. You stay here and don't walk around."

"Ah,,, Karma,,, quack, ," was still an unknown voice. The young dragon lay on the ground and roared as if protesting. After a few sounds, he read its compromise from his eyes. When Cassia's back disappeared from its eyes, Cassiehe raised his head and roared a few times, staring at the mountain in front of him with some doubts for a long time, recalling the memory of just flying around the mountain. But in the end he didn't remember anything, the young dragon dropped his head, lay on the grass and closed his eyes and started to rest.

"Is there a vague feeling? Or, Cassie black still doesn't know the meaning of that feeling." Behind a piece of exposed rock, Cassia thought with a tactical knife. After confirming that his figure disappeared from the young dragon's eyes, he secretly returned here to observe the young dragon's behavior.

The results obtained were not obvious. Thinking of the look of the young dragon when hovering near the crater, Cassia was relieved: "So far, it is certain that even the second-class creatures like dragons do not seem to have grown to a certain age. The induction of dragon bone fossils is not stronger than mine."

The lava spread far, flooding the lake at the foot of the mountain and the ruins of the town. The concentration of "germs" in the air is not high, probably part of it was taken away by the wind, and the raised volcanic ash was completely knocked down by the rain. As long as it is not close to the mountain, the content of pathogens is a little higher than when Cassia came here.

On the way, I ran into Delya and the others who were pulling a few simple machines with a small truck. They were all wearing dense protection, and they started taking corresponding hormones and drugs a few days in advance. The method Yejielin gave to Cassia can play a better defense against low-concentration germs.

Delya has brought twelve people with good strength. When the small truck could not move forward, a group of people got off the truck, and the division of labor clearly carried the supplies and machinery forward.

"Don't you take the remaining few steel cans?" Twelve team members walked ahead, and Delya asked when he saw Cassia got on the car to determine the number, and then covered them with a rain cloth.

"No, they will be used in a few days." Cassia replied, and Delya jumped out of the car to follow the members in front.

"When I rushed over here, Waters and I left the outer area of ​​Manoma together." Delya said on the way, sounding a little muffled through the thick protective clothing. After seeing Cassia, she has been observing her own leader, following the previous practice, in a short period of time, there has been a change that she can't see through again.

"After carefully discussing with Sotagong, according to the transportation route in his hands and the information we collected, we set the goal in the Kingdom of Chil. It was only established more than sixty years ago and experienced many civil strife. , It’s not very peaceful now. There are troubles that require force to solve both inside and outside. This is in line with our requirements. Moreover, the area of ​​the country is considered to be an upper-middle level among a group of countries. However, the development is not very high due to the mountainous terrain. Good. Rely on rich mineral resources to survive, but they do not have the strength of the Imperial Mineral Resources Company, and the number of advanced equipment is not large. Many of them are machines from small manufacturers on the side of the empire and their countries, and they are destructive mining. In less than ten years, it has already begun to struggle."

Cassia knows the influence of machinery and equipment on mining. Mining in the small town is also the same. It relies on the coal resources under the peak of Lilac Mountain to support the factory in the small town. After all, it’s no-cost trading. Cassia remembers that the coal under Lilac Mountain has no ownership. The only thing that the small town factory needs to spend is the cost of violent mining and transportation.

"Waters brought over forty people this time, as well as dozens of carriages of weapons and ammunition. He wanted to go and test as soon as possible. When I went to pick up the steel cans, he and I went back to Manoma. The atmosphere there Tell us that we have to hurry up anyway, so the decision was made immediately."

"But the prerequisite is to ensure our own safety. If we die, we will have nothing. Our current situation is not much worse. Manoma’s factory has been abandoned, but within a few months, a new one has been rebuilt. Production base.” Cassia said, looking around, from time to time he would crush the volcanic rock with his foot and pick up a good crystal diamond from it. The use of sound is more mature, and he further expands the use of this ability based on the data on acoustics of the research scholars he has read. With concentration, as long as you remember the characteristics of a certain substance under sound waves, you will be able to find what you want in all likelihood by crossing a thin layer of ground.

"If Manoma can go back, I will notify you as soon as possible. The factory restarts there and it will be very helpful in business." Cassia put the thumb-sized diamond in his pocket~www.ltnovel.com ~That is our best state. Delya smiled with a sigh, "By the way, now Manoma's affairs are managed by Knight Commander Hesley." I made a list for him, presumably he will not be bored during this time. "

After walking for a while, the route of Cassia and Delya has deviated from the previous team. Arriving on the hillside for half an hour, a shaft surrounded by lava appeared. A steel cable blackened by the heat was still hanging there. The two went down one by one.

"This is only a small part. After investigating the rocks spewed out by the volcano, the harvest should be about four or five times as much as here. I don't know the value, but it should be used as a large amount of money for the operation of the factory." Cassia took a photo. He patted the huge dragon skull in front of him, ignoring Delya's surprised eyes. If you see too many things, you will lose the sense of freshness and shock. And this is only a dragon skull, nothing else.

After calming her emotions, Delya glanced at Cassia, as if to read Cassia's mood.

Delya thought for a while and said: "Desi Road, the inner port, can swallow all these things. It is the most prosperous mineral trading area in the empire, and most of the high-end ore interior decorations throughout the empire come from there. , Mainly led by Imperial Minerals Company and Golden Bank, gathered many jewelry merchants and their suppliers here. After I go back, I will arrange for someone to handle this separately. As long as I can recruit good designers, I think this The value of the batch will double."

"Jeweler?" Cassia said.

"A type of bright face business, as long as it is managed well and can please the nobles, it will be very profitable. Similar to us, the difference lies in the nature of the goods and the customers." Delya didn't understand why Cassia would say This sentence, but he explained it comfortably.
