The old man suddenly raised his head, glanced at the captain, and said, "Old Dao Beard won't lie to us."
The captain heaved a sigh of relief, and spread his hands to Qianye. Qianye just smiled and didn't care about it.
The old man picked up the twin flowers, stroked every grain on them, and muttered, "In our eyes, there are only two kinds of people: those who belong to us and those who don't. people."
When Qianye heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but he didn't speak.
The old man looked at the revolver over and over several times, and said, "There should be another one of this gun, right?"
Only then did Qianye feel a little moved, so he took out another twin flower and placed it on the table. This time the old man picked up the revolver, just looked at it casually, and handed it back to Qianye.
The old man reached out and rummaged among the mountains of sundries on the workbench, and finally found a rusty iron box, put it under the light beam of the spar lamp, and opened it slowly at the right angle. Looking at his precious and precious appearance, it seems that the box contains the most precious gems in the world.
The lid of the box was opened, and there was a yellow silk mat inside, which looked very old just like the outside of the box. A silver bullet rests on a silk pad.
The workmanship of this bullet is very exquisite, the silver shell is thick and thick, and the reflected light seems to flow, it is actually Mithril. It is covered with fine and complicated lines, and there are even several symbols that look like runes.
When he only saw the lines, Qianye was still surprised that there were magic-breaking mithril bullets in this small place, but after adding these runes, he became suspicious.
Those who can use runes in the original force array have already surpassed masters, and can be called masters. In Red Scorpion back then, there was only one such craftsman. Looking at the old man's appearance and the surrounding environment, Qianye couldn't believe that the old man would be a master who could use rune arrays.
The old man didn't care what Qianye was slandering, he stared at the silver bullet with a fanatic and holy expression on his face. Then he raised his head suddenly, pointed at the silver bullet, looked at Qianye, and uttered such a sentence from his withered lips: "This thing is called a bullet!"
Qianye suddenly had the urge to vomit blood. Of course he knew it was a bullet, and he could go into more detail, such as the magic-breaking mithril bullet.
But looking at the old man's unwavering eyes, Qianye was helplessly defeated and said, "Okay, it's bullets."
"It's yours. Remember, use it when you save your life." Then, the old man closed the lid of the box, held the iron box in both hands, and handed it to Qianye.
Until he left this small town called Dog's Claw, Qianye was still thinking about how this bullet could be worth a hundred gold coins.
This was a ridiculous price, but under the watchful eyes of the old man, Qianye paid the price together with other ammunition that he had ordered long ago. If it has some value, it probably lies in the engraved patterns and runes. If the lines can be more exquisite, it may have some artistic value.
Qianye smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand to touch his chest. The bullet was now in his jacket pocket.
No force fluctuations were revealed from the iron box. Of course, the rusted iron box was not a crystal box that could isolate the original force, nor was it the force magazine of the Imperial Legion. The iron box had no barrier function at all, so there was no penetration on the bullet Any force fluctuations can only show that this is a blank solid bullet that still needs to be infused with force.
Qianye shook his head and didn't think about this little episode. There was a limit on the number of ammunition he could carry on a transcontinental airship. At least in such a remote place, he still got ammunition replenishment.
In addition, those gunpowder bullets and original force physical bullets look quite normal, but a mithril bullet, no matter whether it really has the function of destroying magic, the material of mithril is not compromised, so the result is not bad at home. Although Qianye was still a little skeptical, whether this gaudy-looking original force bullet could really infuse the original force.
Qianye remembered that before he left, he asked the old man what to call him, but the old man said, "Just call me Master."
What a blunt answer, Qianye thought as he twisted the handle of the locomotive. The roar of the locomotive engine suddenly increased, and the old Thunder Tiger trembled and gasped, dragging its heavy body somewhat violently, all the way away.
Although Thunder Tiger is old, it is still durable. It has been driving for hundreds of kilometers before it starts to emit black smoke, as if it is protesting that it will go on strike.
Jihuoyuan is a branch of the Nianqing Mountain System in the West Continent with unique landforms. Due to the terrain, there is very little rainfall in this area, and the surface is extremely dry, presenting a lonely desert.
But the barrier-like rugged mountains are the magnificent Taihang Mountains, so there are actually many underground rivers running through the sides of the mountains. So in the wilderness there is the source of growth for those towering trees, and where there are trees, there is often a small oasis.
Qianye looked ahead, and there was a giant tree with a canopy not far away. He adjusted his direction and went straight to the big tree.
Sure enough, a small oasis quickly came into view, and there was even a small clear spring in the middle. Seeing the spring water, Qianye immediately lifted his spirits, and his fatigue was swept away. He rushed to the spring, picked up the clear water and drank it in a big gulp.
After drinking to his full, Qianye wiped his face, filled the old Thunder Tiger with water, and filled the power furnace with enough black stone powder, preparing to rest here for a night before continuing on the road. From the map, it will take him more than a day to get out of this extremely arid wasteland and enter the Taihang Mountains.
The Great Qin Empire, dark races, and rebels coexisted on the Western Continent. Especially in recent years, wars are raging, the situation is chaotic, and wars are everywhere. And because of the existence of the rebels, in the territory controlled by the empire, the checks at each checkpoint are extremely strict to prevent spies from getting in.
It is a good shortcut for Qianye to enter the Western Continent from the Plain of Silent Fire through the waterway in the gray area. And until they crossed the Taihang Mountains, it was a land of no man, and of course there were no checkpoints.
Of course, he still carried a full set of identification with him, which was prepared by Song Zining. On this set of documents, Qianye was described as a lieutenant of the main army of the empire, but was injured in a battle, and his strength was greatly damaged since then. Had to retire. The file format is neat, and the original force seal is readily available, even veterans can't fault it.
As for the verification, in this era when all major legions keep their own information, even with the power of the emperor's family, they can't figure out the details of a small lieutenant in the legion. Unless the writing is transferred to the original army, but with Yin Qiqi's experience in appointing lieutenants of the 17th army, maybe this set of officer information is reserved in the original army files.
Qianye drew an arc on the map with his fingers, passed through the mountainous area in front of him, and officially entered Zhao Clan's territory. The several provinces on the Western Continent were taken from the dark race by generations of ancestors of the Zhao family, and the majestic Yanyun Pass was built at the junction of the borders to resist foreign enemies. According to the imperial tradition, these provinces are all the world's territories of the Zhao Clan, and they have been passed down for thousands of years, gradually laying the foundation for the powerful clan.
The Forgotten Mountains mentioned in Darul's diary should be the landmarks of the dark race. The location is the Taihang Mountains in front, and the place where the gift is located is a core city close to the Zhao Clan.
Qianye closed the map, unloaded the luggage from the Leihu locomotive, and was about to set up a tent on the oasis for the night. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart, straightened up, faced the direction of the night wind, and took a deep breath .
The night wind in the highland has a unique atmosphere, most of which is still the blazing fire brought from the Plain of Silent Fire, mixed with a little bit of the abundant life of the herbs on the other side of the mountain range. However, what occupied Qianye's full attention was a wisp of sweet fragrance, which immediately aroused his strong hunger and thirst after puffing into his nose.
It was the taste of blood, pure, luscious, full of power!
Qianye's first thought was not to hide or run away, but to make a surprise attack, devouring such a delicious food. Immediately, he broke free from his thirst for blood, flashed behind the giant tree, his pupils were a little dark red, and he activated his dark vision.
A group of black-clothed soldiers stepped out from the distant night. They walked with a kind of recklessness that ignored the danger, and they didn't restrain themselves at all. The leader was actually a warrior, and the weakest warrior was at least level five or above.
There were ten soldiers in this team, all of them were blood clans, but they wore imperial uniforms. This level of camouflage cannot escape the eyes of the real strong as long as it enters the field of vision, but it can still reduce some unnecessary troubles when passing through human-controlled areas.
They saw the giant tree from a distance, so they adjusted their direction and ran towards this side.
Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that it was not good. The oasis is so small, and the wasteland can be seen at a glance. There is no hiding place at all. As for the traces of him fetching water and camping, there is no time to clean it up.
He made a quick decision, threw his luggage on Thunder Tiger, started the old antique locomotive, and fled towards the depths of the wilderness.
Thunder Tiger's roar spread far away in the night, and immediately attracted the attention of the blood clan, and all eyes were swept away in an instant. In the eyes of dark warriors, strong or weak, a light spot is rapidly fleeing from their destination.
"Lord Zalen is a human being, and it seems that he has discovered us." A young lady of the blood race said.
The Viscount of the blood clan headed by had a gloomy face and said impatiently: "It's just a small trouble. The two of you chase him up and kill him, and the rest go to that oasis to rest. We will continue to set off in an hour."
The two blood knights moved as ordered, turned into two wisps of faint smoke, and chased after Qianye.
A moment later, a small camp was built on the oasis. Zaron did not rest, but stood in front of the spring, thinking quietly.
The lady walked to Zaron, lowered her voice, and said, "Master Zaron, what is our goal this time?"
Their team had been walking on the plateau for several days, seemingly aimlessly, occasionally encountering individual tribes, as long as they were not found, they would let them go, which was extremely inconsistent with Viscount Zalen's usual temperament and style.
Zaron took out a red crystal pendant and injected blood into it. The red crystal was immediately activated, and a palm-sized map was projected in the void above, and an area was marked with bright red.
