Chapter 9: Adults and Events


In this era, the word "adult" is not something that anyone can call, at least in Black Flame City or even in the entire Andaman Alliance, no one can be given this honorific title, even the chairman of the Andaman Alliance Council, the owner of Andaman City, the head of the Andaman family, who claims to be the richest and most powerful in the alliance, and the man who changed the family name to the name of the alliance, is only given the honorific title of "Your Excellency" rather than "Adult".

Among the countries and forces in the entire Blackson Terran corridor, there are many countries and forces that can be named "Adult", which is full of aristocracy and imperial atmosphere, but the countries and forces that can make people be named "Adult" and bordering or adjacent to the Andaman Alliance are only the Helios Dynasty and the Norman Empire, both of which are the countries of a hundred cities, and they are also the big forces in the Blackson Terran Corridor, and the strength of any of these two countries is more than twenty times that of the entire Andaman Alliance.

Zhang Tie was sincere, and he didn't have the courage to get involved in this level of competition, but out of disgust with the Red Turban Thieves and his obligation to the city as an ordinary person who enjoyed the benefits of the eight-year compulsory education in Heiyan City, Zhang Tie used his greatest ability to warn the ruler of the city.

As for what will happen in the future, whether the letter caused an uproar after it was sent or was thrown into the trash can as a joke, Zhang Tie felt that it had nothing to do with him, and he had done what he could.

Taking a step back, no matter who ends up in the city falling into the hands of whom, maintaining the basic order of the city and the lives of the little people is in the interest of the owners of the city, and the Red Turban Thieves are the tools of the big man, not the ruler of the city, and that's enough Little people still don't have to worry about big things, they only need to worry about their own For Zhang Tie, he felt that what he should worry about most now was the survival trial that would start tomorrow, and in addition, Zhang Tie felt that this world was nothing big for him.

The time of the night passed quickly Early the next morning, Zhang Tie got up, but when he got up, he found that his father and mother got up earlier, his mother's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and he had already made a hearty breakfast for Zhang Tie early, while his father was sorting out and checking all his equipment and bags over and over again.

"Eat more, and only after eating will you have the strength to hurry" Zhang Tie finished washing with his head stuffy, then ate breakfast with his head stuffy, and finally stuffed his head and asked his mother and father to put on things for themselves, first put on a leather armor that can play a little protective role, and then tied his belt, put on the packed bag on his back, and put the folded sapper shovel on his back, and then put on the helmet, and hung the long sword given to him by his father on one side of his waist, and on the other side hung a kettle and inserted a gun head without a gun shaft, and the dagger that his brother gave him was also inserted in 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 show a smile, "Dad, Mom, 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 stopped him again, and the tearful mother helped Zhang Tie tidy up his belt and outfit again, and pulled the corner of Zhang Tie's clothes, "It's okay, remember to come back early, don't be reckless" "I remember, Mom" Zhang Tie found that his nose was very sore, and if he didn't leave, he would probably lose face in front of his parents, he took a deep breath, Zhang Tie hugged his mother hard, and then hugged his father, then stuffed his head, turned around and opened the door, and strode out of the family that had brought him warmth for fifteen years.

At the moment of closing the door, Zhang Tie heard the sobbing sound that his mother could no longer suppress The sky outside is still a little dark, there are still a few stars in the sky are hanging, Zhang Tie wiped the corners of his eyes, and then strode towards the school, when he was about to walk out of 100 meters, Zhang Tie seemed to feel something, turned his head, and saw that in the slight morning light, his mother and father held hands, standing on the street and looking at his figure stupidly, Zhang Tie waved his hand to his mother and father, and tears couldn't help but flow down at once.

At dawn on this day, the entire Black Flame City, you can see such a scene everywhere Young teenagers put on their backs, picked up weapons and left the house, the teenager's parents shed tears, snuggled at the door, some sent far away, and then watched the teenager who was 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 storms 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 is the separation of life and death between yin and yang.

On the way, Zhang Tie met many young people with their bags and weapons like himself, rushing to their respective schools.

When Zhang Tie came to the school, not early or late, most of the people in the school had come, everyone was resting on the school's playground, today's assembly departure time was set at seven thirty in the morning, so it was only seven o'clock, many animals were already ready on the playground, in addition to the style of the bags that everyone carried was quite uniform, all the equipment of the livestock was all kinds of strange and strange, the animals on the playground were chaotic according to the training area of the class gathered into a small group, the sound of chaos, It washed away Zhang Tie's sorrow a lot.

As soon as he came to the school, Zhang Tie saw Baghdad and Shawen, these two guys came earlier than him, looking at the big axe on Baghdad's shoulder, Zhang Tie looked at the long sword hanging from his waist, and he didn't react half-loudly.

On the playground, Baghdad's appearance is absolutely coquettish, absolutely eye-catching, this guy is naked with his upper body, under black skin, full of muscles, wearing only a steel shoulder armor, which can only protect his right shoulder and heart, and then on that shoulder armor, carrying a bright axe weighing at least thirty pounds, posing there.

Compared with him, Shawen's shape is a lot more gentle, and it is the same as Zhang Tie, it is a popular shape, bag, leather armor, belt, kettle, and a sword, but I don't know why, looking at Shawen's shape, Zhang Tie always feels that the things on Shawen's body are a little awkward, not to mention those things, and they are seriously damaged, for example, Shawen's sword, Zhang Tie saw that the scabbard of the short sword was cracked, so that the sword body inside was exposed, and the size of the leather armor was obviously a little mismatched with Shawen's body shape, It feels a little smaller, Shawen seems to have been stuffed into it, by the way, and the aluminum kettle, Zhang Tie dares to swear, in this life, it is the first time he has seen a patched marching kettle, although he knows that Shawen's family conditions are not good, but this style is too exaggerated, Zhang Tie cursed Shawen and his father dozens of times in his heart.

Hungry Chauvin, who was standing next to Baghdad, lowered his head a little embarrassed, buttoned his nails in frustration, and Baghdad scolded indignantly.

"Your dad is too much, why did he equip you with such a tattered body, not to mention anything else, just the money you have earned from your part-time job that you have handed over to your family in the past few years is enough for you to change into a new one, do you look at your sword, I just looked at it, the rust of the sword body is already very serious, and now I look at the bright, it was sharpened on the grinding stone in the past two days, the blade and the sword body are worn out of a layer, it is completely the same as the iron sheet, it is too much, and when we come back this time, we must 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 can't come up with any money, I'm already very happy to have these" Chavin was weakly distinguishing beside him, and his expression was a little indescribably frustrated and sad.

Looking at Sha Wen's sad face, Zhang Tie walked over with a gloomy face, and did not speak, only pulled out the sword on Sha Wen's waist and looked at it, this time, even Zhang Tie couldn't help but be angry, and Baghdad said, is this also a fucking sword, it is simply a piece of iron sheet, the sword is lightly fluttering in the hand, not to mention, the blade is also full of rice grain size defects, the sword body is very badly corroded, pitted, it can be seen that a layer has been rubbed on the grinding stone in the past two days, and it barely has a little brightness, But it is estimated that because of the thick layer of rust, when the rust is worn away, the body of the whole sword has become much thinner, and there is no texture at all in the hand.

Zhang Tie didn't say a word, untied the sword on his waist and hung it on Shawen's waist, "Take it, you use me" "No, no, mine can be used," Shavin hurriedly discerned, trying to change the sword.

Zhang Tie didn't speak, he just took Shawen's sword and waved it to the ground, and with a crisp sound, Shawen's sword broke in two.

Looking at the broken sword body, Sha Wen's face turned a little pale, and he didn't speak again, but bit his lip tightly, looking at the long sword on the ground that was broken in two, and the sadness in his eyes became more and more intense.

Zhang Tie patted Sha Wen's shoulder and his waist, "Don't worry, you use mine, I still have a good dagger here, and a spear head, when I get to the ground, I will find a wooden stick to connect it, I will have a spear, a spear with a short knife, we seven brothers together, we can cope with this trial" Shawen finally nodded, and then he didn't know what he saw, and suddenly looked behind Zhang Tie with wide eyes, Zhang Tie also heard the commotion of the livestock behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw the panting dead fat man Barry walking over like a turtle carrying a huge bag, it was Barry's huge bag and the drape on his body that caused the commotion, and compared to Shavin's shabbyness, the things on the dead fat man Barry's body simply interpreted the three words nouveau riche to the extreme:
