In this era, the word "sir" is not something that can be called just anyone. At least in Black Flame City or even the entire Andaman Alliance, no one can be called this honorific title, not even the chairman of the Andaman Alliance council--Andaman City The owner of, the head of the Andaman Family who is known as the richest and most powerful in the alliance, the man who changed the surname Lineage into the name of the alliance, is only called "Your Excellency" instead of "Sir". In the entire Among the Blakerson Human Corridor countries and forces, there are many countries and forces that can be called "Sir", which are full of Noble and imperial atmosphere, but there are countries and forces that can be called "Sir" and are bordering or adjacent to the Andaman Alliance, then there are only Sun God Dynasty and Norman Empire. These two countries are both countries with a hundred cities and are also major forces in Blakerson Human Corridor. The strength of any one of these two countries is more than twenty times that of the entire Andaman Alliance.
Zhang Tie was sincere and did not have the guts to get involved in a contest of this level. Just out of his disgust for Red Scarf Bandits and his obligation to the city as an ordinary person who has enjoyed the benefits of eight years of compulsory education from 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, the letter caused an uproar after it was issued. Dabo was still thrown into the trash can as a joke. Zhang Tie felt that it had nothing to do with him. He had done what he could do. Taking a step back, no matter whose hands the city ended up in, maintaining the basic order of the city and the lives of the little people were the interests of the city's owners. Red Scarf Bandits was a tool in the hands of the big man, not the ruler of the city. That's enough!
Little people should not worry about big things, just worry about themselves!
For Zhang Tie, he feels that what he should worry about most now is Survival Trial starting tomorrow. Apart from that, Zhang Tie feels that there is 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. She had already prepared a hearty breakfast for Zhang Tie early, while his father 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 sullenly finished washing up, then sullenly ate breakfast, and finally sullenly 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 a belt and carried the packed luggage on his back. Bag, Entrenching Tool folded and put on the bag, then put on a helmet, hung the long sword given to him by his father on one side of his waist, hung a water bottle and inserted a gun head without a barrel on the other side, and inserted the dagger given to him by his brother into his waist.
Zhang Tie stood and shook twice, and found that everything was 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, "Mom, dad, 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 him again. The tearful mother once again helped Zhang Tie organize his belt and luggage, and tugged on Zhang Tie's clothes, "Okay, remember to come back early, 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, Zhang Tie hugged his mother hard, and then hugged his father. Then he sulked, turned around, opened the door, and strode out of the family that had brought him warmth for fifteen years.
The moment she closed the door, Zhang Tie heard my 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 feel something. He turned around and saw his mother and father holding hands in the faint morning light. They were standing on the street looking at their figures. Zhang Tie waved to his mother and father, and tears flowed down his face.
At dawn on this day, you can see this scene everywhere in Black Flame City - the young boy packs his luggage, picks up his weapons and leaves the house. The boy's parents shed tears, leaning on the door, and some send them far away, and then watch the young man who is 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 and 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, this departure is like the separation of life and death.
On the road, Zhang Tie met many young people like him who were carrying luggage and holding weapons and rushing to their respective schools.
When Zhang Tie arrived at 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 not even 7 o'clock, and many animals were already ready on the playground. In addition to the uniform style of luggage carried by everyone, all the animals have various and strange equipment. The animals on the playground noisily gathered into small groups according to the training areas of the class. The noisy sound made Zhang Tie's sorrow of separation disappear a lot.
As soon as Zhang Tie arrived at the school, he saw Baghdad and Shavin. These two guys had arrived earlier than him. They looked at the big ax on Baghdad's shoulder, and Zhang Tie looked at the long sword hanging on his waist, but did not react for a while.
On the playground, Baghdad's appearance is absolutely coquettish and eye-catching. This guy is naked from the upper body, with black skin and tangled muscles. He only wears a half-body shoulder armor made of steel. The half-body shoulder armor can only protect his right shoulder and heart. Then, on the shoulder armor, he is carrying a shiny ax weighing at least thirty kilograms, posing there. Compared to Compared with him, Shavin's style is much more elegant, and like Zhang Tie, it is a popular style, with a bag, leather armor, belt, water bottle, and a sword. But I don't know why, looking at Shavin's style, Zhang Tie always feels that those things on Shavin are a bit awkward., Not to mention those things are old and seriously damaged. For example, Shavin's sword, Zhang Tie saw that the scabbard of the dagger was partially cracked, exposing some of the sword blade inside, and the size of the leather armor obviously did not match Shavin's body shape. It felt a little smaller, Shavin seemed to be forced. It was stuffed raw, and by the way, there was also the aluminum kettle. Zhang Tie could swear that this was the first time in his life that he had seen a patched marching kettle. Although he knew that Shavin's family conditions were not good, this look was too exaggerated. Zhang Tie cursed Shavin his father dozens of times in his heart.
Standing next to Baghdad, the hungry Shavin 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. Look at that sword of yours. I just looked at it and the rust on the sword body is already there. It's very serious. It looks bright now. It was sharply ground on the grindstone in the past two days. The blade and body of the sword have lost a layer of wear. They are completely like iron sheets. 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..." Shavin said weakly next to him, with an expression that was indescribably depressed and sad.
Looking at Shavin's sad face, Zhang Tie walked over with a sullen face, without saying anything, and just took out the sword from Shavin's waist and looked at it. At this time, even Zhang Tie couldn't help but feel angry. Just like what Baghdad said, is this a fucking sword? It's just a piece of iron. The sword is so light and fluttery in the hand. The mouth is also full of defects the size of rice grains. 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. However, it is probably because the rust layer is very thick. When the rust was worn away, the entire blade of the sword had become much thinner, and it had no texture at all in the hand. It would take a quick eye and quick hands to kill a chicken with this thing, 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 Shavin's waist. "Here, 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. He just waved Shavin's sword to the ground. With a crisp sound, Shavin's sword broke into two pieces. Looking at the broken The sword body was broken into two pieces. Shavin's face turned a little pale. He did not speak any more, but bit his lips tightly. Looking at the long sword that was broken into two pieces like tatters on the ground, the sadness in his eyes became more and 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 here, and a gun head. When I get to the field, I will find a wooden stick and connect it to it. Then I will have a long gun. The long gun is paired with a short knife. Together, the seven of us brothers can handle this trial!"
Shavin finally nodded, and then he didn't know what he saw. His eyes widened and he looked behind Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie also heard the commotion of the animals behind him. When he turned his head, he saw the panting dead fat man Barry, who looked like a turtle. They also walked over carrying a huge luggage. It was Barry's huge luggage and the clothes on his body that caused the commotion. Compared with Shavin's shabby appearance, the things that the fat guy Barry wore on his body simply took the word "nouveau riche" to the extreme...
