Giant Rat Underground King City, a spacious courtyard in the outer city area.
The flames in the courtyard were red, and a strong man with a strong back and strong waist was bending his head to hammer a strange piece of metal. From time to time, the sound of "thumping" could be heard outside.
In the courtyard, there is a row of iron cans placed against the wall. If it were not for the light yellow mark painted on it, "97 concentration energy cans," an uninformed person would have thought they were gas cans.
While working, the man would raise his head from time to time and sigh.
Not long after, the stone door of the courtyard was pushed open, and a young man walked in.
The sound of hammering stopped immediately.
The strong man straightened up, took one look, and immediately went to meet him.
"It's actually Lord Nie? You're so proud to be here alone. Do you have anything important to do?" the strong man said very politely.
"Haha, brother Hufen, you and I don't have to be so polite. We both worked under Deacon Canglang before and we have a friendship as colleagues." Nie Yuan said with a kind face.
"Hey, times have changed. You are a lord with 10,000 square kilometers of underground land. I am just an ordinary blacksmith. I can only make a living in this giant rat king city by relying on a little craftsmanship. I can't compare with you. Ah..." Hu Fen's tone contained jealousy and envy that could not be concealed.
"That's just charity from others and can be taken back at any time. What's there to envy?" Nie Yuan shook his head.
"Oh, that's true. Ever since Master Canglang's whereabouts are unknown, we people have no support. Some people say that he was suppressed by Knight A in the Dragon Mystery Realm. I don't know whether the news is true or not. He has been out of touch for several months. The alliance has also been torn apart." Hu Fen shook his head and sighed.
Nie Yuan smiled when he heard this and said: "Brother Tiger is so humble. You are now King Bai's most capable general and are highly valued. You are responsible for building magical weapons. This is not a job that ordinary monsters can do."
"Humph, what's the point of reuse? They're just coolies. The White King only trusted his rat subordinates and made them serve as various ministers, but he just used us, the alien monsters," Hu Fen said on his face A flash of dissatisfaction flashed, and he suddenly realized something, and then apologized, "I'm sorry, Lord Nie, I forgot, you are also a rat demon."
Nie Yuan was not embarrassed at all, and continued to smile: "It doesn't matter, I have severed all ties with this person a long time ago. He deliberately planned to collude with that person to usurp the position of the ancestor, but he knelt down to human beings. He is undoubtedly a traitor."
"Hiss..." Hu Fen looked around and said quickly, "Brother, be careful, this is where the royal city is. Who knows if the hypocritical king has some kind of monitoring network?"
"Haha, brother, you are too worried. Before I come in, I will completely shield this place so that no sound will be heard." Nie Yuan waved his hand.
"That's very good, but Lord Nie, let's go inside and talk further." Hu Fen felt relieved and invited warmly.
The two of them walked into the living room to talk.
Nie Yuan glanced around and saw that the decoration here was quite simple, with only a few pieces of furniture. It was obvious that life was not very satisfactory.
Ordinarily it wouldn't be like this. It seems that Brother Tiger usually spends too much.
He knew it immediately, and then a pocket appeared in his hand, with golden light inside.
"Hiss... Lord Nie, what does this mean?" Hu Fen's eyes lit up.
"Haha, it's just some Yuan Sha. I got it by chance. It's still needed for refining weapons. It's my first time to visit. A little gift is not a sign of respect. Brother Tiger, please accept it." Nie Yuan said lightly.
"Well, how does this happen?" Although he said this, Hu Fen grabbed him and said eagerly, "Lord Nie is so enthusiastic, I am really ashamed, please sit down, I will get some food and wine right away, let's go Let’s talk over a drink.”
"That's very good." Nie Yuan nodded. This tiger demon is indeed a small character who is unscrupulous and can be bribed with a little treasure.
Human hearts are nothing more than this. Human beings can spend money to buy votes. They can also use treasures to buy people's hearts, or they can buy tickets for a certain guy.
… …
After a moment and three moments, the tiger and the mouse became very familiar with each other, like long-lost brothers.
"Brother, you must have something wrong when you come here, why don't you just tell me?" Hu Fen drank a cup of Erguotou and said with a big tongue.
There is no brewing industry in the Giant Rat Kingdom, and everything is imported.
After all, compared with the mature wine industry of mankind, it is too troublesome to start from scratch, so it is better to import it directly.
"When I came, I saw those vitality jars placed in my brother's home. I shouldn't have needed these burdens before, right?" Nie Yuan slowly revealed the true purpose of his visit.
"Isn't that right? Since the vitality suddenly shrunk and the godless vitality node appeared, it's great now. If I want to build a magic weapon, I have to buy these vitality tanks in large quantities, otherwise I won't be able to refine them. Fortunately, these budgets are all made by Those rats are responsible. But if I want to buy some weapons privately and sell them, I will have to add a lot of trouble. Those energy tanks are the biggest trouble. The energy is not as good as others, and the consumption is huge. It is annoying to go in and out..." Hu Fen complained.
"Haha, I have reliable news. These troubles are all caused by the collusion between the White King and the immortals from the upper realm." Nie Yuan said, stretched out his hand, and an image appeared in the sky.
In the image, it seems that it is the content that Bai Shixin showed Fang Ning before. The other party cooperated with the immortals from the upper world to create gaps in space and absorb the global energy.
"It's so abominable, how could he do this?" Hu Fen was angry at first, but then he was relieved, "That's right, he is just a weak young man with no power to restrain himself. He relied on the support of Bai Shifu and a group of people to rise to power. How could he come to power? Do you have the guts to reject the immortals from the upper realm?"
"Yes, if the ancestor was here, or Master Canglang was here, this would definitely not happen. Brother, you know, since the energy has shrunk, the birth rate of our demon clan on the earth has been greatly reduced, and many little demons have On the verge of degradation, it is difficult to protect themselves. After all, the birth of their intelligence is different from that of humans. They are born from the infiltration of vitality. Humans have evolved naturally. If vitality shrinks, humans will not lose their wisdom, but most of us monsters will return. The state of a beast." Nie Yuan put on a look of compassion.
Hu Fen fiddled with the bag of Yuan Sha just now, but he was noncommittal about it and said nothing.
When Nie Yuan saw this, he realized that he had put on the wrong eye medicine. This person didn't care about the overall situation of monsters, he only cared about whether he could benefit from it.
He immediately said: "If we find our ancestors, or Master Canglang, and bring order to the chaos, I believe that by then, brother Hufen will also be promoted to a higher position, and enjoy endless glory and wealth..."
"Oh, is that true?" Hu Fen's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.
"That's certainly the case. Humanity's glory and wealth are nothing. When the time comes, a large amount of resources will not be at Brother Tiger's disposal, and there will no longer be a need to withhold some weapon refining materials to make a living." Nie Yuan said lightly.
"I just don't know how to find these two people?" Hu Fen shook his head and didn't have much hope. "If we can find them, why wait until today?"
"Haha, today is different from the past. The time has come. I think that one will definitely release the ancestor." Nie Yuan said confidently.
"Well, that one suppressed the ancestor himself, how could he let the ancestor out? Why is the elder brother so confident?" Hu Fen drank another drink and said in disbelief.
"Brother, as long as you follow me, you will know when the time comes." Nie Yuan said calmly.
"Well, I have no morals and incompetence. I wonder why the elder brother chose me to follow him?" Hu Fen said with some flinch.
Humph, you are immoral and incompetent, but you have a treasure...
Nie Yuan thought to himself.
He continued: "Brother, don't belittle yourself. I heard that you are building a magic weapon for King Bai. I want to give it to that man as a condition for releasing the ancestor. What do you think, brother?"
"Hiss... this is a thief committed by a prisoner, and the crime cannot be punished!" Hu Fen waved his hands repeatedly, and he was frightened by the smell of alcohol.
"Haha, brother, don't you know that the materials and tools you are using now were originally owned by the ancestors. The treasures you created are used to exchange for the freedom of the ancestors. That is a natural and natural act. It is an act of repaying a kindness, how can it be said that it is a theft? ?" Nie Yuan was eloquent.
"Well, that sounds like it. I heard that the foundation of this entire underground royal city was created by Patriarch Bai alone. Okay, brother, I'll just follow my eldest brother. I don't want to do this hard work anymore. "Hu Fen gritted his teeth and said.
