The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 431
Chapter 431
After parting with the old woman, Wen Li and her team walked forward along the underground tunnel. This tunnel was originally built to mine the coal underground in Chunfeng Town. Of course, Du Lei raised objections to the things hidden underground in Chunfeng Town. Du Lei thought it could not be coal, but something else.
But what is there in the underground of Chunfeng Town? This is not in the scope of their mission to escort Wen Li to the City of Rock. Du Lei is also aware of this. He knows that there is no time to investigate the underground of Chunfeng Town. Come, I can’t do anything, I can only give up.
They walked along the dark tunnel for nearly three hours. It was very humid all around. You could see water dripping from the wall from time to time, making “tick” and “tick” sounds, and cold wind poured in from time to time. It’s very cold.
“We have been walking for such a long time. Haven’t we gotten out of the tunnel? Why is this tunnel so long? It’s inside the Lieyang Mountain Range. Who on earth did such a big project here? What is this? How did you do it?” Bee Sting threw a series of questions.
“According to the signs on the map, under normal circumstances, we have to walk for at least five hours to get out of this distance. Don’t worry, we have only walked less than half the distance. As I said earlier, this is only the Lieyang Mountain Range. A branch of is not the main vein of the Lieyang Mountains. As for who excavated it, I don’t know this. I only read from the book that the first railway construction started from the Far East.” Du Lei answered one by one.
“Is it going to take so long? Does the map show where we are going?” Bee Sting continued to ask.
“The map does not indicate the distribution map of the railway. We can only estimate where we are based on our own positioning and the direction of walking. I think we should come out from this position. It has already bypassed the blocked mountain road far away. .” Du Lei pointed to a location on the map.
“This place is…Herrenburg?” Hu Che frowned when he saw the place name. He was no stranger to this place.
“Hellenburg? What’s wrong with this place?” Bee Sting saw a flash of terror in Hu Che’s eyes. In her impression, Hu Che would not frown even if the knife rests on her neck. It’s hard to imagine where Hu Che will show fear.
“Is it actually Herrenborg? The famous Herrenborg incident broke out here.” Although Wen Li has never been to Herrenborg, she has received elite education and has a good understanding of major historical events.
“The Herrenborg incident? What’s going on?” The bee sting became even more confused, after all, her lack of knowledge reserve was her fault.
“The place of Herrenborg is very complicated. As we all know, the country of mountains is a mountainous country. The huge mountain range divides the country of mountains into several pieces. That’s it.” Du Lei made a gesture with his hands, which can be more vivid. Explain the situation to the bee sting.
“What then? What can it do?” Bee Sting didn’t know the relationship between the Herrenborg incident and the mountainous country.
“Huh? It’s not a question of what can be done. The reason I say this is to tell you that it is precisely because of the division of the terrain that the country of the mountain is divided into several regions, which are independent of each other. They have Different customs, different scripts, and even different languages.”
Du Lei found that he had been talking for a while, but the bee sting hadn’t found the focus, which made him quite speechless.
“Oh? Is it so complicated? But even the language is different, why do they form a country? There is no cohesion at all.” Bee Sting finally figured out the complexity of the mountain country, she had never before. Don’t know this.
“In terms of cohesion… there is still some, because the entire mountain country is sandwiched between the huge Sun Mountain Range and the Black Iron Mountain Range, which means that they are surrounded by large mountains under the barrier of a small range of mountains. Du Lei continued to explain the situation.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about in the small mountains or the big mountains. Just tell me what the Hellenberg incident is all about.” The bee sting heard Du Lei’s words, but she didn’t grasp it either. At the point, she gradually lost patience and directly urged Du Lei to give a key answer.
“It is precisely because of the complexity of the country of the mountains that they need a buffer place for exchanging materials. The closed environment will inevitably lead to uneven distribution of resources. This mountain produces iron and that mountain produces sheep. , They need to exchange, I just make an analogy.”
Wen Li next to Du Lei answered this question. She did not know anything about magic, but she knew very well about customs.
“Miss Wen Li, what do you mean…Herrenburg is such a place, right?” The bee sting seemed to understand, slapped out a doorway.
“Yes, Herrenborg is a place where the different tribes in the mountain exchange daily necessities. For a long time, the various tribes have been in peace in Herrenborg, but more than 30 years ago, Herrenborg suddenly broke out. A vicious conflict and bloodshed shocked the mainland.”
Wen Li said seriously, Bee Sting rarely saw such an expression on Wen Li’s face, which was enough to show the seriousness of the conflict at that time.
“Conflict broke out? Why?” Bee Sting continued to ask.
“As for the cause of the bloody conflict, there are various theories. Some say that the tribes are dissatisfied with the long-term high-pressure policies of the mountain tribes in power, which has evolved into violent actions. Others say that the tribes want to find a reason to suppress the forces of the tribes. Yes, until today, no one can tell.”
Wen Li shook her head. She is a very strict person, so she won’t make a conclusion on the cause of the conflict until there is definite evidence.
“Have you started fighting if you don’t even know the reason?” Bee Sting felt a little weird.
“It’s not that they don’t know the reason, but the posterity doesn’t know the reason. As the person involved, he must know the reason.” Du Lei shook his head and added this point.
“But don’t you know the reason for their fight if you ask the person?” Bee Sting thinks it’s easy to solve this problem, just a little bit of thinking.
“If it were really that simple, it would be great. The Hellenberg incident shocked the entire continent because… In that bloody conflict, everyone died and no one was left alive.” Du Lei said softly. Then, he tried his best to calm his tone.
Because when he read this period of history, even across the front page of the book, he could smell the strong blood.
“What? Didn’t leave a living? How many people were in Herrenborg at that time?” Bee Sting was startled and asked immediately.
“According to the information available, the population of Herrenborg at that time should be… 160,000.” Wen Li continued.
“What? 160,000 people? That is to say… 160,000 people died clean, did not leave alive?” The bee sting was completely shocked.
