In this era, the word "Sir" cannot be called just anyone. At least in Black Flame City or even the entire Andaman Alliance, no one can be given this honorific title. Even the members of the Andaman Alliance Parliament Chairman - the owner of Andaman City, the head of the Andaman family known as the richest and most powerful in the alliance, the man who changed his family name into the name of the alliance, is only called "Your Excellency" instead of "Sir" honorific title. Among the countries and forces in the entire Blackson Human Corridor, there are many countries and forces that can give people the title of "Sir", which are full of aristocratic and imperial atmosphere. The only countries and forces that border or are adjacent to the Andaman Alliance are the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire. These two countries are both countries with a hundred cities and are also major forces in the Blackson Human Corridor. These two countries The strength of any one of these countries is more than twenty times that of the entire Andaman Alliance.
Zhang Tie is sincere and has no guts to get involved in this level of competition. He is just out of disgust for the red scarf thieves and his obligation to this city as an ordinary person who has enjoyed the benefits of eight years of compulsory education in Black Flame City. , Zhang Tie used his best ability to send a warning to the ruler of this city. As for what will happen next, whether the letter caused an uproar after it was sent out or was thrown into the trash can as a joke, Zhang Tie felt that it had nothing to do with him, and he had done what he could. To take a step back, no matter whose hands the city ends up in, maintaining the basic order of the city and the lives of the little people are the interests of the owners of the city. The red scarf thief is in the hands of the big shot. Tools, not rulers of this city, that's enough!
Little people should not worry about big things, just worry about themselves!
For Zhang Tie, he felt that what he should worry about most now was the survival trial that would start tomorrow. Apart from that, Zhang Tie felt that there was no big deal in this world for him.
One night passed quickly...
Zhang Tie got up early the next morning. However, when he got up, he found that his father and mother had gotten up earlier. His mother's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she had already prepared a meal for Zhang Tie. A hearty breakfast, while dad was sorting and checking all his equipment and luggage over and over again.
"Eat more, and then you will have the strength to go on the road!"
Zhang Tie finished washing up with his head down, then ate breakfast with his head down, and finally asked his mother and father to put on things for him. First, he put on a piece of leather armor that could provide some protection. , then put on his belt and carried the packed luggage on his back. The folded engineer shovel was put on the luggage. Then he put on his helmet and hung the long sword given to him by his father on one side of his waist and on the other side. He hung up the kettle and inserted a gun head without a barrel. He also inserted the dagger given to him by his brother into his waist.
Zhang Tie stood shaking twice and found that all the clothes were ready. Although he was carrying more than 20 kilograms of things at once, it did not affect his movement at all, so he forced himself to smile and said, "Dad, old Mom, okay, I’m leaving, don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”
"Guoguo, wait a minute..." When Zhang Tie was about to turn around, his mother called out to him again. The tearful mother once again helped Zhang Tie organize his belt and luggage, and pulled the corners of Zhang Tie's clothes. "Okay, remember to come back early and don't show off..."
"I remember, Mom!" Zhang Tie found that his nose was very sore. If he didn't leave, he would probably be embarrassed in front of his parents. He sniffed deeply, and Zhang Tie gave his mother a strong hug. Mom hugged Dad again, then turned around and opened the door with a sullen expression, striding out of the family that had brought him warmth for fifteen years.
The moment he closed the door, Zhang Tie heard his mother's sobs that could no longer be suppressed...
The sky outside was still a little dark, and there were still a few stars hanging in the sky. Zhang Tie wiped the corners of his eyes, and then strode towards the school. When he was about to walk 100 meters, Zhang Tie seemed to have something. Turning his head, he saw his mother and father holding hands in the faint morning light, standing on the street looking at his figure. Zhang Tie waved to his mother and father, and couldn't hold back his tears. It just flowed down.
…
At dawn on this day, you can see scenes like this everywhere in Black Flame City - young teenagers pack up their luggage, pick up weapons and leave the house. The parents of the teenagers are crying and clinging to the door, and some are sent far away. , and then watched the young man who was about to become an adult leave home for the first time, leave the protection of the tall city wall, and use his immature body to meet the wind, rain and challenges of this era.
Every year, in Black Flame City, there are young teenagers who leave home on this day and never come back. For some people, going away is a separation between yin and yang, life and death.
On the road, Zhang Tie met many young people like him who were carrying luggage and carrying weapons and rushing towards their respective schools.
When Zhang Tie came to the school, it was neither early nor late. Most of the people in the school had already arrived, and everyone was resting on the school playground. Today's gathering and departure time was set at 7:30 in the morning, so it was only 7 o'clock Before long, many animals were already ready on the playground. Except for the uniform style of luggage carried by everyone, all the animals were equipped with various and strange equipment. The animals on the playground were noisily gathered in the training area of the class. They formed small groups, and the noisy noises suddenly dispersed Zhang Tie's sorrow of separation.
As soon as he arrived at the school, Zhang Tie saw Baghdad and Chauvin. These two guys had arrived earlier than him. Looking at the big ax on Baghdad's shoulder, Zhang Tie looked at the long ax hanging on his waist. The sword didn't react for a while.
On the playground, Baghdad's appearance is absolutely sexy and eye-catching. This guy has his upper body naked. Under his black skin, his muscles are all tangled. He only wears a half-body shoulder armor made of steel. Kan protected his right shoulder and heart, and then carried a shiny ax weighing at least thirty kilograms on the shoulder armor, posing there. Compared with him, Chauvin's look is much more elegant. Like Zhang Tie, it is a popular look, including a bag, leather armor, belt, water bottle, and a sword. I just don't know why, but looking at Chauvin's look, Zhang Tie always felt that the things on Chauvin's body were a bit awkward. Not to mention those things were old and badly damaged. For example, Chauvin's sword. Zhang Tie saw that the scabbard of the dagger was partially cracked, leaving the blade inside. Some of it was exposed, and the size of the leather armor obviously didn't match Chauvin's body shape. It felt a little too small, and Chauvin seemed to have been stuffed in. By the way, there was also the aluminum kettle. , Zhang Tie dared to swear that this was the first time in his life that he saw a patched marching kettle. Although he knew that Sha Wen’s family conditions were not good, this look was too exaggerated. Zhang Tie thought of Sha Wen as his father. Cursed dozens of times.
Standing next to Baghdad, Hungry Chauvin lowered his head in embarrassment and clasped his nails depressedly, while Baghdad cursed indignantly.
"Your father has gone too far. Why did he give you such tattered equipment? Not to mention anything else, the money you earned from working and giving it to your family in the past few years is enough for you to get a new one. You Is that what you call a sword? I took a look just now. The rust on the sword body has been very serious. Now it looks bright. It was grinded on the grindstone in the past two days. The blade and the sword body are both sharp. One layer is missing, and it’s just like an iron sheet. It’s too much. When we come back this time, we will definitely go to your house to teach that bastard a lesson... "
"Forget it, I still have a few younger brothers at home, and my father probably won't be able to provide much money. I'm already very happy to have these..." Shawen said weakly next to him, with an expression that was indescribably depressed. and sad.
Looking at Chauvin's sad face, Zhang Tie walked over with a sullen face, without saying anything. He only took out the sword from Chauvin's waist and looked at it. At this time, even Zhang Tie couldn't help but burst into anger, and he and Baghdad It's the same thing. Is this a fucking sword? It's just a piece of iron. The sword is light and airy in the hand. There are also defects the size of rice grains everywhere on the blade. The sword body is severely rusted and has pits. , it can be seen that a layer has been rubbed away on the grindstone in the past two days, and it barely has a little brightness, but it is probably because the rust layer is very thick, when the rust is rubbed away, the entire sword body has already It has become a lot thinner, and it has no texture at all in the hand. This thing requires quick eyesight and quick hands to kill a chicken, let alone use it to fight those dangerous creatures outside the city.
Without saying a word, Zhang Tie took off the sword from his waist and hung it on Shawen's waist. "Here, you use this one!"
"No, no, this one of mine can be used!" Shavin realized quickly and wanted to change the sword.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything, but swung Chauvin's sword to the ground. With a crisp sound, Chauvin's sword broke into two pieces. Looking at the sword that was broken into two pieces, Chauvin's face turned a little pale. He didn't speak anymore, but bit his lips tightly. Looking at the tattered long sword that was broken into two pieces on the ground, there was a look in his eyes. The sadness became more intense.
Zhang Tie patted Shavin on the shoulder and his waist, "Don't worry, you can use mine. I also have a good dagger and a gun head. When I get to the field, I will find a wooden stick to connect to it, and I will have a Equipped with a long spear and a short sword, the seven of us brothers can handle this trial together!"
Chauvin finally nodded, and then he didn't know what he saw. He looked behind Zhang Tie with wide eyes. Zhang Tie also heard the sound of the animals behind him. When he turned his head, he saw the panting dead fat man. Barry was walking over like a tortoise carrying a huge luggage. It was Barry's huge luggage and the clothes on his body that caused excitement. Compared with Chauvin's shabby appearance, the clothes on the dead fat guy Barry Things, it simply interprets the word "nouveau riche" to the extreme...
