Blood of Mercury

Robert sighed deeply.

"As you said."

"It is because the Iron Curtain City has lost its meaning that it became the city where the incineration plant is located."

Claudia couldn't help but ask: "The meaning of existence? What was the meaning of its existence before?"

"You can tell by the name," Roland replied softly, "This is the 'fortress' of the White Tower."

"That's right."

Robert took over Roland's words: "The White Tower didn't have a fortress from the beginning."

"Because when an enchanted item is destroyed, it will release a lot of magic power - even the contaminated magic power is magic power after all, and the effect of filling it into a weapon is similar. And weapons don't care whether the magic power they use has been destroyed or not. polluted."

Robert showed a somewhat ironic smile: "From this point of view, these cold guys are much better to serve than those pariahs."

"Oh? That's not what a Titan should think—"

Hearing what Robert said, Roland raised his head back slightly unexpectedly, his voice full of smiles.

Hearing Roland's voice, Robert scratched his head in embarrassment.

Titan - that's where the legendary "freedom and equality" resides.

Freedom, equality—how could one think like that in Titan?

Roland couldn't help but tease a little more in his heart.

However, Roland knew that although the Titans liked to boast about their freedom within the country, they were, in a sense, one of the most brutal races.

Throughout history, Banza is nothing more than a bunch of ultra-nationalists. But the prevalence of titans is truly racist.

The reason why Roland used Helland's identity to speak to him. Not on a whim.

The Titan Empire is often dubbed the racial melting pot in the game. This is not a joke about a "free and equal" country.

Because of its proximity to the old holy land of Elkat, the Titans culture highly worships the blood of the higher ranks. See it as a symbol of nobility, and see the pure-blooded Dark Iron people as foolish, incompetent mudlegs.

Regrettably. Even in Titan, the number of "mud legs" is still in the absolute majority. So many Titan nobles drove these mud legs eastward, bringing them closer to the vast desert of Elkat than to the Black Sea in the west.

And this will also become the fuse of the future war between the East and the West.

Roland's beautiful, crescent-like smiling eyes flashed a hint of meaning.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, it is very popular for the Titans to intermarry with the so-called higher races - such as the half-elf royal family of Suze, the fairies or half-goblins of Caral, and even the underground night elves, and the trees of Fararu. The elves don't care either.

At the same time, the Titan nobles will also spare no money for some of the desires and demons captured by the White Tower wizards.

For "nobility" - or, in other words, long lifespan and the talent of the family's younger generation. Even if it is intermarriage with the devil, the Titans can regard it as the capital of boasting.

The contradiction lies in the fact that if the so-called "mud-legged" intermarry with the "mud-legged" of other nationalities and even races, they will despise him as a "hybrid"; and if a "mud-legged" dares to touch the blood of a higher level, it will be scorned in Ti. The law of Tanzania is an unforgivable death penalty. It is one of the three crimes punishable by hanging.

One of the external manifestations of this culture is that they have respect for the higher races in high positions in other countries - generally speaking, the Suze royal family in particular - and they are just like facing the royal family members of their own country. Easily question their decisions.

And the half-elf of Caral and Elkat, and the half-elf of Farraro. On the contrary, it will be regarded as prey by the possessive Titan nobles. Do whatever it takes to get them - even if it is sold at a high price in a small circle as a commodity in exchange for the favor of other nobles.

It's hard to die. Because of their proximity to the Old Holy Land, this group of human race traffickers, like the Elcats, are born with the supernatural ability to judge the purity of blood.

As a half-goblin, Roland is no different from highlighting in their eyes. Therefore. Robert would be the first to strike up a conversation with Roland.

But the name Roland is undoubtedly Caral's unique name. This is no different from making it clear that Roland is a half-goblin.

Half-goblins have always been a sought-after item on Titan. Even if Robert himself couldn't do anything to Roland, it was like An Ruosi said. He also has a sister...

Roland didn't want to be kidnapped, and he didn't want to offend a Titan noble without entering the White Tower. In addition, the prop on Roland that I don't know what it is on Robert. Roland didn't dare to kill him easily.

Although the name Hurland is more like Bansa than Suze people, but fortunately, Roland forcibly added a paternal name only to Suze nobles. In line with his black hair, he was fooled for the time being.

However, this is not the same as being in a sick village. The biggest problem is that Roland's eyes have turned silver-gray, no longer the pure black like an abyss.

This made it more difficult for "Herland" to pretend to be the royal family of Su Ze.

However, with Hurland, a name that is not something that Suze people can have, and Roland's black hair and silver eyes, it may give Robert some other misleading.

For example... Roland can add a setting for "Herland" that his father is the royal family of Suze and his mother is Bansa. If Robert is suspicious enough, this can also make him afraid to take action against Claudia.

"Miss Herlanka, you need to know..."

"Mr. Robert!" Roland's face suddenly turned cold, "You are so rude!"

"...Ah, I'm very sorry. I don't know much about Su Ze's culture. Please forgive me if I go overboard."

Robert immediately apologized to Roland.

"Well, the ignorant is not guilty, Mr. Robert. You can call me Hurland, for the sake of your friend Anjos."

Roland said this with a serious face, and the hand behind his back poked An Ruosi lightly.

An Ruosi woke up like a dream: "Ah? Ah! Yes, you can just call her Hurland."

"Thanks--kind Miss Hurland."

Robert shouted his thanks in operatic hyperbole, using the Titanic slurring of the middle of a phrase. Made Claudia laugh.

Roland just sighed in his heart.

Robert was suspicious. The trial came so early.

Fortunately, Roland did some research on Su Ze, so he didn't reveal his fault.

The names of the Suzers are somewhat similar to the names of Russians on Earth. All consist of first, paternal, and last names, but not exactly the same. In general. Much simpler.

Unless they are dealing with people of the same status or higher than themselves, Suze nobles will not easily say their surnames - they call this humility.

If this Su Ze noble has a higher status than himself, and the two are not familiar, then he cannot be called by his first name, and must be followed by his father's name or the first half of his father's name. The former shows humility and the latter shows intimacy.

When facing acquaintances or people with a lower status than themselves, you must call them by their first names, which is "affinity".

Suze people believe that there is power in the name. Unless it's a very, very close person. Otherwise, you must not change the other party's name indiscriminately - except when mocking your enemy.

"Robert, are you joining us? We're going to pass through the Iron Curtain City to the White Tower."

An Ruosi was awakened by Roland from her previous inexplicable contemplation, so she raised her head and asked Robert a question.

"Of course! I can still go a long way with you."

Robert nodded happily, then frowned and looked back at Joseph, who was covered in a cloak and wrapped tightly around the upper half of his face with only his chin exposed, before putting on a smiley face to Roland. Ask: "Hellland, have you heard of the Waste Development Agency?"

"I remember...it has an alias, it's called the 'Waste Bureau', right?"

Roland responded softly.

... really slap the nose on the face. I didn't even know "Miss" for three minutes.

So I hate the Titans...

Roland sighed to himself.

"Not at all."

Robert followed Roland and the four into the iron curtain city shrouded in smog. He immediately reached out and covered his mouth and nose, his voice subconsciously lowered.

"That's just a bunch of trash."

There was still a smile on his face. The voice was full of disdain.

"Nothing can be done well... Let them find a place with a small enough impact on the outside world to assume an incineration plant, and as a result, they found the Iron Curtain City, which has been torn down by the underground race."

"Don't they know that this is the border of the White Tower - it's so remote, no wizard is willing to come and repair the barrier here, in case the barrier is damaged. The magic dust will be scattered to Caral, Ferraro and Titana. Away. Quite a large piece of land that will be dead in a few years."

"By then, it will be more difficult to govern."

Roland agreed.

Robert nodded.

"That's right, that's it."

Such a ghost.

Roland pouted the corners of his mouth.

If only the "Waste Bureau" was really that easy to deal with. Roland was quite familiar with the drunk chief. He is definitely not as "trash" as outsiders say.

The purpose of the Iron Curtain Incineration Plant's existence is not to burn enchanted items at all.

With their technical means, if the White Tower wants to. It is easy to discharge the exhaust gas into the ground, turning those underground races into humanoid vacuum cleaners one by one.

so. The problem is not here at all.

Iron Curtain City was originally one of the three major fortresses outside the White Tower, requiring a lot of maintenance costs every year.

After the big explosion in Iron Curtain City and the subsequent invasion of the underground race, the Great Wizard Clavi came up with a poisonous plan——

That is to gradually remove the three fortresses and use biochemical means to defend.

Iron Curtain City has set up a large number of automatic and semi-automatic enchanted weapons. To rebuild, it needs a lot of economic and personnel support, which will undoubtedly greatly slow down the development of the White Tower.

Although outsiders think that the White Pagoda has money, these wizards would rather smash a hundred gold coins on an experiment that has a one-tenth chance of success, and don’t want to smash a copper coin on an experiment that has an 80% chance of success but is extremely slow. on investment.

Therefore, the drunk chief set up an incineration factory in Iron Curtain City, and burned all the enchanted weapons damaged by the explosion, instantly producing a large amount of magic dust.

You must know that the magic dust itself is a particle-like solid magic residue. They are not affected by wind and gravity, and only flow to places where the law lines are sparse and the magic response is relatively low.

Compared with the white tower where wizards gather, once the barrier is damaged, the smoke and dust will drift westward without any accident.

Contaminated by magic dust, it will turn into waste within a hundred miles.

Because of this, Titan, Caral, and Fararu never dared to easily attack the White Tower from the Iron Curtain City.

If Iron Curtain City loses the wizard's maintenance of the enchantment, and the magic dust leaks, even Titan will not be good.

From this point of view, Robert, who was born in the Titan army, hates this city, which has an explanation.

Moreover, the "Waste Bureau" has far more resources than most people imagine.

In addition to the disposal of waste products, the Waste Bureau is also secretly responsible for reverse osmosis and the surveillance and elimination of unidentified enemies and entrants.

In the future, Roland will fight the most in the White Tower, probably this unit.

wrong--

Roland's pupils shrank.

He finally realized what he had overlooked.

The fresh blood of the Waste Bureau is mainly composed of outstanding graduates from the apprenticeships of the Crafty Knives. But before they enter the Waste Bureau, they will be secretly reviewed and inspected by the Waste Bureau. If they fail, they will never know the true functions of the Waste Bureau.

And a magic knife wizard who broke through the racial limit and reached the bronze rank in his twenties has not yet been invited by the Waste Bureau. Robert's true identity does not even need to be guessed.

He must be a spy sent by Titan to the White Tower! And the identity has been revealed!

And entering the Baita's territory with this guy...don't even think about it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ their group will definitely be investigated.

"It sucks..."

Roland couldn't help but look bitter, but fortunately he had already stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and the abnormal expression was not noticed.

Accidentally made a wrong move...

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and there is still a chance to recover—(To be continued..)
