Devouring Evolution Begins with Hedgehogs

"Ah?" After being told by Seattle, Liu Ergou was even more confused. "Where am I stupid? I'll hear what you mean later, do you know what's going on?"

"I know", Seattle smiled again, but before Liu Ergou asked, Seattle said again:

"Just because I know, I don't want to tell you idiot."

After speaking, Seattle and Hoffman turned their heads and left, leaving Liu Ergou alone in the wind.After standing there for a while, Liu Ergou was still puzzled.

What made him even more depressed was that both Bufix and Eranster looked at Liu Ergou like an idiot, and naturally they didn't give him any answer.

Even Avril, as soon as Liu Ergou uttered this question, Avril blushed, gave Liu Ergou a vicious look, and ran away!
I'm afraid I really offended De Lisi somewhere, right?Thinking wildly like this, Liu Ergou didn't dare to ask Tufaen.

In case the tiger got angry and decided to loosen his muscles and bones, Liu Ergou thought he might not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, although she couldn't figure it out, De Lisi's attitude towards her didn't change much, and she still discussed various issues with herself as usual every day, and also made up lessons for herself by the way.

So as soon as Liu Ergou got busy, he put this matter behind him.

After a few days, Liu Ergou also found some clues about the recycling of slag.

After returning from the ruins, Liu Ergou also thought about using the contents inside.Leaving aside those exquisite instruments, the shelves and boxes in the storage area alone are enough to be processed into high-quality tools or weapons.

For this reason, Liu Ergou even took people to the ruins again, took some various things, and prepared to take them back for research.He even brought back some of the slag from the experimental hall and the remains of abandoned puppets.

However, after a round of research, Liu Ergou found to his regret that everything except slag, let alone research, even took a lot of effort to take a sample!
This is really the encounter between primitive people and Zentraedi technology. It took a lot of effort for Hammer to barely scrape a handful of powder from the shelf.And after burning in the smelting furnace for a whole day, it just made the powder a little shiny.

The same goes for other things.Only the pile of molten slag seemed to have changed its nature due to the dissociation of the shield, and it became easy to process.

It's just that in this way, the slag lost its original strength, and instead became a very malleable metal.And the melting point seems to have dropped, and with the current melting furnace, it can barely be processed.

At this moment, the piece of metal cake placed in front of Liu Ergou, and the roll of metal wire next to it are the products of secondary processing of this molten slag.

"Boss, what's the use of this piece of cake and this coil of thread?" Bufix looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any tricks.

"This is not cake." Liu Ergou pointed to the things on the table, "This is what I told you before. The currency that our Beiyuan City will issue in the future is money."

"Design a pattern later, and then add this coin. It will be a small round cake. Once printed on both sides of this coin, it can be used as money."

"Money?" Bufix looked at the coins on the table again, "But we have neither merchants nor shops here, so where do we spend the money?"

"I'll use it in the future, let's make it first." Liu Ergou waved his hand, then pointed to the coil of metal wire and said, "As for this... I haven't thought about what it can be used for. This thing is not strong enough to hold It is used as a rope, but it is very soft."

Eranster took a closer look, and asked Liu Ergou, "What is the magic-guiding property of this thing?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou picked up the coil of metal wire, felt it in his hand, and then said to Eranster: "It's okay, it's worse than that batch of guide rails, but at least it's better than ordinary materials. "

Erlanster nodded, and then said: "Then in my opinion, this thing may be used as a magic circle."

In the process of exploring the Sunset Mountains last time, Eranster discovered that if the magic circuit is simply carved on the guide matrix, it will be easily affected in the harsh environment.

For example, if there is a lot of wind and sand, the sand and dust can easily fill into the notch, causing the blockage of the magic power circuit; and the magic cloth magic circle woven with magic weave thread is very difficult to process and is also easy to be damaged.

After listening to Liu Ergou's description of the experimental hall and recycling center, Eranster has been developing the engraved magic circle during this period, but due to the limitation of materials, the results are not very remarkable.

Hearing Eranster's thoughts, Liu Ergou also nodded.Erlanster's method is very similar to the mosaic gold process on the earth.If you follow this line of thinking, then this coil of metal wire does have a lot to do.

After thinking about it, Liu Ergou decided to walk on two legs, while recycling slag, while researching its uses.But in this way, I have to go to the ruins again, and I have to dig out all the slag.

In addition, Liu Ergou glanced at the coins on the table.I have to find a way to polish the surface of this thing, or it will be too dazzling.

The same setting sun shone on the whole continent, but it could not penetrate the shadow of Dilos in any way.

210 years ago, the Tilos Mine was the largest oricyte in the entire province of Oin, and even the entire empire, and it was also the place where alchemists said that the treasure "Orecarx" was second only to Mithril.

At its peak, there were as many as [-] slaves working hard day and night in the mine.It is said that due to too many lights used at night, its soaring light can be clearly seen tens of kilometers away.

There is often a large amount of incomparably hard granite around the mountain copper mine, and these slaves are digging desperately with their own hands and simple tools day after day, just to get a piece of rock from the huge rock that is hundreds of tons at every turn. A small piece of mountain copper, no bigger than an eyeball, in exchange for my rations for today.

And countless slaves who died of starvation, exhaustion, disease, or falling stones, or the hands of the supervisor's whip, their bodies were buried in the cornfield outside the mine pit, and became the fertilizer for other living slaves to produce rations .

Therefore, in the unofficial records, the oricyte mine has another name: the blood tear stone.

Legend has it that every eyeball-shaped orichalite will shed a tear of blood on a moonless night.This drop of blood and tears is the souls of the slaves who died in the mines.

With the depletion of the orichallic mine, the slave owners and overseers evacuated here one after another, leaving only tens of thousands of sick and weak slaves here to fend for themselves.

In order to survive, the slaves built dilapidated houses of various sizes in the pits using waste materials; at the same time, they worked hard to dig down to find some orichalcomines that slipped through the net, so that they could get rich overnight and leave this city. bottomless pit.

However, there are tens of thousands of slaves, but there are very few orichanite mines.So even if a lucky person is really lucky, it will immediately lead to a bloodbath.

This is not counting the thieves who also have the same mind, the adventurers who come to explore following the clues of the ancient ruins, and the fugitives who wandered the world
Over time, with the passage of more than a hundred years, this place has become a notorious crime capital.In the never-sun-lit Tilos Mine, hundreds of dirty deeds are carried out in every corner every day.

This is the cradle of conspirators, the paradise of the lawless, the trading market for the flesh and blood of victims, and the best refuge for some people with special backgrounds.

The goal of Tobias' trip is in this huge refuge.In Diros, the capital of crime, it is very difficult to find a specific person.

The reason is obvious, except for a very small number of idiots who still have illusions about getting rich overnight, those who can come here and live safely are all the best in the dark world.

Dilos is like a huge sieve. For these people, this is heaven;

Every day, in every alley, in every cavern of Diros, and sometimes even in public, a new victim appears.

And the corn field outside the mine is still growing vigorously.It's just that the fertilizer that nourishes them has changed from a single slave to all kinds of scum.

In such a place, trying to find someone who deliberately and has enough strength to hide himself is tantamount to finding a black cat in the coal pile at midnight.

Even someone like Tobias would hardly be able to do that.

But this time, what he wanted to find was not "one" invisible one, but only "that" invisible one.

In Diros, the most common attire is the hooded burqa.Whether it is the body shape or the weapons that are carried, a burqa can hide them very well.

And under every hood that hides a face, there must be a pair of prying eyes.

At this moment, Tobias walked into a bar in such an attire.

It is said to be a bar, but it is actually just a slightly larger shack.

Naturally, there will be no comfortable seats, or delicious wine, and even the wandering warblers that can be seen everywhere outside.

There are only long tables made of rocks and wooden boards, and the cloudy and very strong "wine" that is almost alcoholic.

As for the warbler?In such a place there are only two kinds of bedtime love, one in which the victor enjoys his prey, and the other in which the prey falls into the spider's web.

Tobias also found a place to sit down, took out a gold coin, and placed it on the crumbling table.Then he took out a rough cup carved out of wood.

In the bars of Dilos, alcohol must be harmless, this is the rule here.But if you die from the poison on the cup, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid.

After a while, a bartender who was also covered in a burqa came to him and took the gold coin away.Immediately, the bartender took out another leather bag of unknown material, and filled Tobias' glass with a cloudy yellow liquid.

Tobias picked up the cup, and without a pause, drank the cup that could almost be regarded as fuel in one gulp!

The bartender on the side also paused. Even in Diros, where desperadoes gather, there are not many people who can drink a whole glass.

As if the entertainment was not finished, Tobias took out another gold coin and threw it on the table.

The bartender still touched the gold coins, and then filled a glass for him.

Another gulp!

When Tobias took out the gold coin and put it on the table for the third time, he could already feel the peeping eyes from under the hoods beside him.

Only this time, as if he had finally run out of alcohol, Tobias slipped his hand and dropped a small leather bag on the ground.

"Boom!"

This unremarkable little leather bag actually smashed on the floor with a sound like Hong Zhong Dalu!

It doesn't take very good hearing, almost anyone can hear what the clanking metal in the bag represents.

Tobias staggered as if nothing had happened, picked up the leather bag and stuffed it back into his robe, then picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

After drinking the third cup, Tobias hiccupped, staggered out of his seat, and walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to reach the door, a man of somewhat short stature, or rather, a smaller burqa, walked past him.

The two passed each other in the narrow aisle, and collisions were inevitable.

Just this moment!

A cold light, almost like lightning piercing the dark clouds, instantly illuminated the entire dark bar!

It was Tobias' dagger.

The moment the cold light flashed, several eyes staring at this place were like thorns, and all of them were so uncomfortable that their eyes were blurred with tears!

And as the cold light flashed by, the short burqa in front of him was also split in two, revealing the terrified face inside and a somewhat familiar small leather bag.

Tobias' leather pouch.

As if doing a trivial thing, Tobias picked up the leather bag and stuffed it back into the burqa.

Afterwards, he dragged the corpse out of the ground, found three iron rods from nowhere, and nailed the corpse to the ground!
One on the left, two on the right.

Most of the attention was quickly withdrawn. This was a naked demonstration, and it was very effective.

Only a few eyes stayed on the three iron bars for a moment, as if they remembered something.

Tobias didn't realize it at all, and left here staggeringly.

Only this time, no one thinks that this is a drunkard who is easy to take advantage of.

In fact, it doesn't make any difference at night, anyway, the sun never shines on the land of Diros, there are only lights that flicker on and off.

In one shed, Tobias is sitting cross-legged on a blanket.

The owner of the shed may not have returned, or may be dead.It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you have the ability to enter the house, no matter who is in the house, it is almost dead.

Tobias just sat there motionless, like a statue.

A small oil lamp is the only light source here.

A ray of cold wind blew past, and suddenly the light, which was not very bright, flickered, and the whole room flickered with the flickering flames.

When the flames finally stabilized, there was already one more person opposite Tobias.

"You're here, Burning Steel." The voice was as cold as ever, just like his snake face that has never changed for thousands of years.

"As I said, I don't go by that name anymore"

Contrary to Tobias, the voice coming from the low burqa on the opposite side sounded more like a burning furnace.

"Wake up, Burning Steel." The cold voice didn't seem to be warmed by the appearance of this furnace.

"Don't make me repeat it again, Snake Eye!" In the stove, sparks burst out!
"This is the order of the Interpreter."

The blazing stove seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water, leaving only a little ashes.

"The interpreter's order, you should know what it means."

Another basin of ice water mercilessly extinguished the last embers.

The lights flickered slowly in silence, as if trembling for the coming storm.

After almost 100 million years, there were bursts of difficult echoes from the already cold furnace

"What is the order?"
